Episode 1 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz show that demands nothing less than Perfection. Behind this screen

are four contestants who'll be hoping their knowledge is flawless because one single mistake

could give the game away. This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome to a brand new series of Perfection,

the quiz show where only perfect play is good enough.

Behind me are the contestants. We call them the Usual Suspects.

They're in our isolation room.

In a moment, we'll find out which one has been randomly selected

to join me here to play Perfection.

They will then face a series of true or false statements.

For example, if I said, basil is a traditional ingredient in pesto.

Would you say that's true or false?

Well, if you said true, I could tell you you'd be right.

Answering true or false might seem easy

but if the contestant gets a single answer wrong, their opponents,

the Usual Suspects will be allowed into the game

to capitalise on their mistakes. So, you know how the game works.

Let's meet the Usual Suspects.

Hi. I'm Alexis, I'm from Wrexham, I'm a stay-at-home mum

and this is my first game.

Hi. I'm Alison, I'm from West Morley in Kent, I'm an HR manager

and this is my first game.

Hi. I'm Michael from Charlton, south-east London,

I'm a pier master and this is my second game.

Hello. I'm Bryan, I'm from Newport-on-Tay in Fife,

I'm a retired teacher and this is my third game.

Welcome to you all and best of luck as we now find out

which one of you has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Bryan, it's you! He's come and join us to play Perfection.

Bryan, welcome to the game. So, we know a little bit about you now.

Also I understand you have a very good palate.

It's got rougher over the years, but I used to do fairly well

in wine-appreciation tasting competitions, yes.

Your palate was once described as one of the best in Scotland. Is that true?

Well, I came third in a competition in Scotland, yes.

Bryan, look, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your team-mates. They're now your enemies.

Their job is to stop you from winning the prize fund

because your failure will mean the prize-money rolls over

to the next game where one of them could be sitting here

playing for a bigger total. You wouldn't want that to happen, would you?

I'm charitable, but maybe not to that extent.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

At the end of the last series, no-one had won the final game,

so the prize fund currently stands at £2,000.

APPLAUSE

-That's a very pleasant amount, isn't it?

-It would be, yes.

Where would you splash the cash, if you won it?

Well, I've got long-lost relatives in New Zealand

so I think it might go towards a trip to New Zealand to catch up with them.

That would be great. It's a beautiful country.

Here's how the game works. You'll play three rounds and a final.

Each round that you achieve Perfection will make the final easier for you.

However, if your performance is anything less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects here will have a chance to step in

and steal the round, making the final much harder.

More of that to follow later on.

Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off for now,

so you can't see or hear anything. Cheerio.

Bryan, each round consists of four true or false statements.

You'll be answering against the clock. You'll only have 45 seconds.

Once you've given your answers, your first answer, remember,

-they'll be locked in. Are you ready?

-I'm ready, Nick.

-Good.

Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1. Your 45 seconds starts now.

Queen Elizabeth II was born in the 1920s. True or false?

That... 60, 80...

-That's true.

-True.

Carla Bruni acted in the film Midnight In Paris.

-That's false.

-False.

Pele scored over 2,000 league goals in his career.

Well, that sounds...a fairly large amount.

-I'll say true.

-True. And finally,

Boo Radley is a character in The Great Gatsby.

-I'll say that... Boo Radley. I've heard of the group.

-Time...

-I'll say true.

-True.

-You were starting to worry me there.

-Worry you?!

-The time was drifting away.

-How did you feel about that round? Good? Add? Indifferent?

-Bad.

-Really?

-Yes.

-Right. OK. Before we reveal how well you've done, it's time for us

to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Bryan's answers.

Let's start with you, Michael. What do you make of his answers?

He's done quite well there. I'd only doubt one of them.

Pele. Seems a lot of league goals so I'd doubt that

-possibly, C.

-OK. Alison, what do you make of it?

I think that D's false

because I think Boo Radley was a character in To Kill A Mockingbird.

-Alexis, what do you make of his answers?

-Yeah, I agree with Alison.

Boo Radley's in To kill A Mockingbird.

Bryan, the moment of truth. You need to have answered

all four statements perfectly to have won the round.

Let's find out how many you've got correct.

One out of four.

Now, you have to achieve perfection to win the round

and it's plain that you've not achieved perfection.

I think that's an accurate description of the situation.

A little below par, I think we'd say.

You have now let your enemies into the game.

Usual Suspects, you can steal the round. You can see Bryan's answers.

You need to change three of them. Which three is it going to be?

-B, C and D.

-I think it's B, C, D.

I think Queen Elizabeth was born in the '20s, so I'd change

B from false to true.

B changes from false to true.

C, true to false.

C, true to false.

And D, true to false.

And D, true to false. Leaving A as answered by Bryan, true.

Usual Suspects, let's find out what the correct answers are.

If the statement turns green, it's true. If it turns red, it's false.

Queen Elizabeth II was born in the 1920s.

We need that to turn green. Is it true or false?

It is true.

We have a pretty good idea where this is going from now on, don't we?

Carla Bruni acted in the film Midnight In Paris.

True or false?

It is actually true.

Pele scored over 2,000 league goals in his career. True or false?

It is, of course, false.

He scored over 700 league goals and 500 goals in other matches

and competitions.

And finally, Boo Radley is a character in The Great Gatsby.

True or false?

We know it is, of course...false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Let's tidy up the last one. Boo Radley is, of course,

a character in To Kill A Mockingbird. Well done, you.

Bryan, they managed to succeed where you failed.

-They stole the round.

-Yes.

-Usual Suspects, you now have

the opportunity to make Bryan's chance of winning the prize fund

much harder in the final.

Here's how. Bryan, this is your final board.

These six blank spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are your categories.

Starting with Bestsellers, they range through to Camels,

'60s Pop, Nuts and onto Batman.

If you'd won that round, you'd have the opportunity

of adding two categories of your choice to the board.

But because the Usual Suspects have stolen the round,

they get to choose two categories, hoping to make the final that much harder for you to win.

So, Usual Suspects, which two would you like Bryan to play in the final?

-Bryan's knowledge there on the sport was wrong.

-Yeah.

-What about Liverpool Football Club?

-That's a good idea.

-That would be good. OK, yes.

-Our first choice, Nick, is Liverpool FC.

Liverpool FC goes into the final. We need a second one, please.

-What about The Sopranos?

-Shall we go for The Sopranos?

-Yeah.

Second choice there, Nick, The Sopranos.

The Sopranos goes into the final two. Well done, Usual Suspects.

It's time to switch you off but we will see you in Round 2. Cheerio.

And away they go. Bryan, with the Usual Suspects gone...

Looking very smug they were too. What do you think of their choices,

Liverpool FC and The Sopranos? Bad subjects for you?

They have found two of my weak spots right away.

Let's have a look at the ones on the left there.

Which ones would you like to choose yourself if you get the choice?

Probably '60s Pop. Possibly Bestsellers.

What are you trying to avoid in there?

I'd probably like to avoid Batman.

And I think Camels might give me the hump, so I'd probably avoid them.

Very good! I was wondering whether I'd get a chance to make that joke.

-Sorry.

-You got there first and quite right too.

-Listen, Bryan, are you ready for the next round?

-Let's go.

-OK.

Let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Marilyn Monroe was once married to Babe Ruth. True or false?

She was married to a sportsman of some sort.

-Um, I'll say false because I think it was Joe DiMaggio.

-False.

Sir Isaac Newton invented cat food.

-That is so far out of likelihood that I'm going to say true.

-True.

-Yes.

Guantanamo Bay is on the coast of Cuba.

Er, well, Guantanamera...

-Yes, that's true.

-True. And finally...

Pop singer Harry Styles is a member of The Wanted.

Harry Stiles I've heard of.

The Wanted I've heard of. I'll say false.

-False.

-Yes.

You're timing it very well.

-Feeling any better about that round?

-No.

-No?

-Erm...

Harry Styles, The Wanted.

-Could be either.

-Not a big fan of modern-day pop beat combos, then?

No. I've heard of the Beatles.

Well, that's the '60s that you were talking about wanting to choose earlier on.

Bryan, you've answered all four statements. Before I reveal how well

you've done, it's time for us to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Hello again, Usual Suspects.

These were the four statements and next to them are Bryan's answers.

Alexis, how do you think he's done?

-I'm not sure about Guantanamo Bay, to be honest.

-Right. Alison?

The only one I'm not sure about is Isaac Newton and the cat food.

It does sound daft, but is it true? Bryan, the moment of truth.

Let's find out how many you've got correct.

-Three out of four is not bad. It's not perfection.

-No, it's not.

-Are you slightly worried they're going to win this?

-There is a vague idea in my head

-that's the way it is going, yes.

-You have now let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal a round? You can see Bryan's answers.

You need to change just one of them, but which one?

Shall we go for the one that we wondered about, Sir Isaac Newton?

-We'll go with what you think.

-I'd like to change B, Sir Isaac Newton.

-Change that from true to false?

-Yes, please.

-Lovely.

B changes from true to false leaving A, C and D as answered by Bryan.

We'll find out now. Usual Suspects, what are the correct answers?

Marilyn Monroe was once married to Babe Ruth. Is that true or false?

-It is false. Who do you think she married?

-Joe DiMaggio.

Joe DiMaggio, exactly right. In 1954.

Sir Isaac Newton invented cat food. Now, is that true or false?

It is, of course, false.

LAUGHTER

Actually, he's often credited with inventing

the first recorded cat flap.

-Ah. That's what it is!

-There we go.

We have a good idea where this is going now, don't we?

Guantanamo Bay is on the coast of Cuba. True or false?

It is, of course, absolutely true.

And pop singer Harry Styles is a member of The Wanted. True or false?

It is false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection again.

APPLAUSE

Just to clear that up, pop singer Harry Styles is a member of who, Alexis?

-One Direction.

-I thought you might know. So, there you go. Oh, dear.

They're killing you here, Bryan. The Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed again

-and they've stolen a round from you again.

-Yes.

-Thanks for rubbing it in.

-Well, I'm only telling the truth.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity of making Bryan's chance

of winning the prize fund of £2,000 much harder.

Let's see the final board.

Two subjects on there already chosen by the Usual Suspects

and you've earnt the right to choose the next two categories. So what's it going to be?

Do you think he knows a lot about flowers?

-First choice, Nick, is Flowers.

-Flowers goes across.

And we need one more, please.

What about Camels? That's quite weird.

Camels might give him the hump.

-Do you know, it's a great joke, Michael.

-Thank you, Nick.

-We'll rely on that one. We'll go for Camels, please.

-Camels. Lovely.

Thank you very much, everybody. Camels goes across into the final.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. We'll see you in Round 3. Bye-bye.

-Away they go. So, flowers?

-I know what they look like.

-And camels?

I don't have a working knowledge of camels, no.

No. So, this round becomes really important, this last round,

to achieve perfection and choose your own categories for the final.

-You ready?

-Yes.

-Right. Let's go. This is going to be a positive one.

Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

The word chagrin is used to mean annoyance.

Well, it's a sort of annoyance at yourself but....

-True or false?

-OK, I'll say...true.

-True.

-Yeah.

Napoleon Bonaparte was over six feet tall.

I believe he was on the short side, Nick. So I'll say false for that.

False.

Simnel cake is traditionally eaten at Christmas.

I thought Christmas cake was generally eaten at Christmas, Nick.

-So, no. Easter. I'll say that's false.

-False.

And finally, you need to get a move on...

Guests on Desert Island Discs choose 12 records.

-I think that's true.

-True.

-With just a view seconds to spare...

-Yes.

-..you've managed to answer all four.

-I think you felt better through that.

-I felt better until we got to D.

-So it was a bit of a guess, that last one?

-Yes.

-All right.

Before we reveal how well you've done, it's time for us to bring back those Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects,

these are the four statements and next to them are Bryan's answers.

-Alison, what do you make of them?

-I think they look pretty good. The only one I'm not sure about is D.

-Are you a fan of Desert Island Discs, Michael?

-Not really.

-I just seem to recall that it was ten records.

-Right.

Kind of vote of confidence there from the Usual Suspects

-with the slight doubt hanging over D.

-Yes.

-So, the moment of truth.

Bryan, let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four again. Gosh. Close, but, as they say, no cigar.

You've let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

Usual Suspects, you can see his answers,

-you need to change just one of them.

-D?

-Do you know what the Simnel cake is?

-That's at Easter.

-Napoleon Bonaparte was...

-Tiny, wasn't he?

-Four foot something. And the word chagrin is...

-Yes, that's right.

-I'm sure the Desert Island Discs are ten. Will you go with me on that?

-Yes, I think that's false.

OK, Nick. I'd like to change D from true to false.

D changes from true to false,

leaving A, B and C as answered by Bryan.

Usual Suspects, let's find out what the correct answers are.

The word chagrin is used to mean annoyance. True or false?

It is, of course, true. You're absolutely right, Bryan.

And so are you, Usual Suspects. Napoleon Bonaparte was over six feet tall.

Let's find out. True or false?

It is false. He was five foot seven, in actual fact.

Simnel cake is traditionally eaten at Christmas. Is it true or false?

It's false. It is eaten at Easter.

We now know where this is going, don't we, Usual Suspects?

Guests on Desert Island Discs choose 12 records.

True or false?

It is, of course, false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

Once again, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Let's clear that up straightaway. The guests on Desert Island Discs choose eight, in actual fact.

So, Bryan, it's all gone horribly wrong for you again.

-The Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed.

-Yes.

They've stolen the round. Let's see the final board.

In the final already are four subjects all chosen

by the Usual Suspects.

And because you won the round, you've earnt the right to choose the last two.

So, which would you like to make Bryan play?

-What do you think about the superhero, Batman?

-Batman, yes.

-Let's go for Batman. That's good.

-Nick, we'd like to give our friend Batman.

-Friend?!

Batman comes across into the final. And the last one, please.

I'd like to know what Nuts are.

-I think Nuts looks quite interesting.

-Yeah, Nuts is good.

He's driving us nuts. Excuse me. We'd like to give Bryan Nuts.

Nuts going across into the final, yes? Lovely.

Thank you very much. We now know our six final categories. They are...

OK, guys. Time to switch you off for the final time. Cheerio.

And away they go. OK. Here we go.

Bryan, for £2,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

Bryan, this is the all-important final. If you achieve perfection,

you could be leaving with a prize fund of £2,000.

If you fail, you'll be leaving with nothing which is great news for the Usual Suspects

because one of them could be playing for a rollover of £3,000 on the next game.

So, let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Bryan, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £2,000. Think carefully. There's no time limit.

But once you've given an answer, your first answer, it's locked in.

Let's reveal your first statement. Please tell me whether

you believe it to be true or false. Liverpool FC.

Kenny Dalglish joined Liverpool in 1970.

He must be about 50 odd now, 60.

-I'll say that's true.

-True.

The Sopranos.

Edie Falco played the role of Carmela Soprano.

-I will say that's false, Nick.

-False.

-Yeah.

Flowers.

Digitalis is the scientific name for the daffodil.

Something tells me that digitalis is the scientific name

for deadly nightshade.

That could be wrong.

-I'll say that's false, Nick.

-False.

-Yeah.

Camels.

Camels can live up to a year without food and water.

I'm not sure if it's just without water they can survive.

I'll say that's...

-false.

-False.

-Yes.

Batman.

George Clooney played Batman in Batman Forever.

I know there was a film called Batman Forever.

Batman's a character in it. George Clooney's an actor.

-I'm going to go false on that one as well, Nick.

-False.

-Yes.

And finally, Nuts.

Filbert is another name for the cashew nut.

-I'm going to go true on that one, Nick.

-True.

-Yes.

Those answers are now locked in. Remember, if there's one mistake, you leave with nothing.

-Which ones are you sure of?

-F. And I'm fairly sure C.

-But otherwise, they're total guesses, Nick.

-That's a tough one.

-You're going to need help.

-I'm going to need some help, but whether I get offered help is another matter.

-Well, let's bring back the Usual Suspects and find out.

-OK. Thank you.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements are next to them are Bryan's answers.

Bryan, your answers are now locked in.

You can't change them by yourself. But if you think you made a mistake,

you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects. This will, however, come at a cost.

Usual Suspects, I'm now going to ask you to tell me

how well you think Bryan has done,

if you want to help and, if you do, how much it will cost.

Remember, you mustn't refer to any of the statements specifically.

-Bryan, who would you like to hear from first?

-I think I'll hear from Michael first, please.

You had a bad start but you've done really well in the final bit.

I think you've got one wrong

and there's one there I've got no idea at all.

-Do you want to come and help?

-Not on the doubt of one of them.

-OK, Michael. Alison?

-I think you've done pretty well,

but I'm actually not sure how well you've done

because there's a couple of answers I'm really not sure of either.

-So I wouldn't be happy to help. I'm sorry.

-No hard feelings...

apart from the questions you've picked for me. Alexis?

Again, I think you've got one wrong.

I'd rather play for more money next game than come and help you. Sorry.

-That's all right. No hard feelings.

-Bryan, you're on your own.

£2,000 at stake. Six answers away.

Let's find out if you've achieved perfection.

So, how shall we do this then? Which are the ones that you said you were sure of? C and F?

-Less unsure.

-Well, let's start with the less unsure to get off to a good start.

C, digitalis is the scientific name for the daffodil.

You said that was false, so we need this to turn red.

Is it true or false?

It is false. Very well done.

APPLAUSE

Narcissus is the name of the daffodil genus.

-In actual fact, digitalis usually refers to foxgloves.

-Right.

F. You were sure about filbert as another name for the cashew nut.

-More confident about that, yes?

-Yes.

-Let's do that one next.

Filbert is another name for the cashew nut.

If you're right, this will turn green cos you said true.

Is it true or false?

It's false, I'm afraid.

It is, in fact, a type of hazelnut.

Bryan, you have failed to achieve perfection.

As such, you're not going home with the money.

Let's have a look for those of you at home to see if you've achieved perfection.

Kenny Dalglish joined Liverpool in 1970. Is it true or false?

False. 1977 was the correct answer.

Edie Falco the played the role of Carmela Soprano. You said false.

Is it true or false?

Actually, true. Sadly, yeah.

Let's try and make it a bit more than one correct answer, shall we?

Camels can live up to a year without food or water. Is it true or false?

It is false.

-Oh, well.

-Not bad. Just need one more correct answer to basically even it up, 3-3, yes?

-Yeah.

George Clooney played Batman

in Batman Forever.

Is that true or false?

-It is false, congratulations, well done.

-Oh, thank you, yeah!

-Three wrong, three right.

-Yeah, 50, 50.

The only thing is you don't actually get 50% of the prize fund.

That's the sad thing. Usual Suspects, great news for you. The prize fund rolls over

where one of you could be playing for a total of £3,000.

Look at the smiles. Big grins. Nice to see you smiling as well, Bryan,

because you failed to achieve perfection, which means you go home with nothing.

-But you still enjoyed the game?

-Yes, I've had a really good time, Nick, thank you.

And thanks to the Usual Suspects for making my passage here so pleasant!

Thank you very much for playing. Bryan, ladies and gentlemen.

APPLAUSE

It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect

hoping to play Perfection today.

Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

I'm Andrew, I come from Surbiton in Surrey.

-I'm an accounts assistant and this is my first game.

-Welcome to the show, Andrew.

Best of luck to all of you as we now find out which one of you

has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Andrew, it is you! Come and play perfection.

APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Andrew. Straight onto the line and straight down here to join in the game.

What's your plan for the game? Do you think these guys will help you, or try and stitch you up?

No, I don't think they're too happy about me going in there and coming straight back out again.

-So, we'll see.

-They're giving you the evils.

Andrew it's now you versus the Usual Suspects. They were your team-mates, but they are now your enemies.

Remember, their job is to stop you from winning the prize fund. If that happens,

the money rolls over to the next game, where one of them could be playing here for a bigger total.

Here's the good news. As nobody's won the past two games,

the prize fund currently stands at £3,000.

APPLAUSE

That's a handy amount of cash. What are you going to do with it if you win it?

I've got friends and family, some in the Caribbean and some in Australia and New Zealand.

So I wouldn't mind going travelling to see those.

All right Andrew, let me remind you how the game works.

You'll play three rounds and then a final. Every round that you achieve perfection

will make the final easier for you. However, if your performance is anything less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects will have the chance to step in and steal the round,

making the final that much harder for you.

Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off for now

so you can't see or hear anything. Cheerio. And away they go.

-Andrew, you ready?

-Yeah.

-Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-I think sayonara is goodbye. So that's false.

-False.

I don't think he was British. I think he was either Italian, something like that.

-So I'll say that is false as well.

-False.

-That is definitely false.

-False.

And with plenty of time to spare...

-I'm going to say false to that because that used to be Arnold Schwarzenegger.

-False.

So with time to spare, you have answered all four statements. How do you feel about that round?

HE SQUEALS

-What was that noise? What did that mean?

-Eh, adrenaline!

All right, before we reveal how well you've done, it's time for us to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Andrew's answers.

-Michael, has he achieved perfection?

-No, I don't think so.

-I think the Christopher Columbus one was wrong.

-All right.

Alexis, what do you make of Andrew's answers?

I think sayonara is Japanese for hello.

-I think he's got B wrong as well.

-Interesting. OK. Well Andrew, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round.

Let's find out how many you got correct.

Congratulations, Andrew. You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Lo and behold, you have achieved perfection. Let's look at the answers.

The word "sayonara" is Japanese for "hello". True or false?

It id, of course, false.

It means goodbye.

Christopher Columbus was a British explorer. True or false?

He wasn't. He was from Genoa.

By area, Australia is larger than China.

You said it was absolutely false.

And it is, of course, false.

Sylvester Stallone is former Mr Universe. True or false?

It was, of course, false as well.

You're quite right. The famous film star that was a Mr Universe

was Arnold Schwarzenegger.

-Such a great round, well done.

-I just hope I can keep it up.

Well, Andrew, as a result of that performance, you have made winning the prize fund a lot easier.

And here's how. This is your final board.

These six blank spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are your final round categories.

Andrew, because you won the round, you've earned the right to choose two categories to add to the board.

-So which two do you fancy?

-I think I'll go Formula 1.

Formula 1 goes across. And one more, please.

And...US sitcoms.

US sitcoms goes across as well.

Usual Suspects, we'll see you in the next round. Perhaps you'll get a chance then.

In the meantime we're going to switch you off. Cheerio. And away they go.

Andrew, what do you think of the categories on offer? Which ones do you fancy?

None of the rest! I picked my two best and that's it.

-Really? The rest of it's looking pretty ugly for you, is it?

-Yeah.

-All right, Andrew, you've made a great start to the game. Are you ready?

-Yeah.

Let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

And your 45 seconds starts now.

-I think an emery board is for filing your nails, so false.

-False.

-I'm going to say true to that.

-True.

I've seen the film, and I think it's in the winter.

-So I'm going to say false.

-False.

And finally, The Little Prince is a book by Oscar Wilde.

I don't know who wrote it but I don't think it was Oscar Wilde.

-So I'll say false.

-False.

And with time to spare you've answered all four statements.

Once again, I have to say, Andrew, you seemed very confident through that.

-Yeah, I just look good being confident.

-You just look good. "Yeah, I just look good!"

LAUGHTER

All right, before we reveal how well you've done,

it's time for us to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Andrew's answers.

Michael, what do you make of his answers this time?

I can't fault him on anything there. I think he's got perfection.

-Oh! Alison, do you agree?

-I think he's got perfection too.

I can't see anything that I'd change there at all.

-Alexis, can you pick any holes in those answers?

-No. They're the answers I would have given.

A vote of massive confidence from the Usual Suspects there.

Andrew, the moment of truth, let's find out how many you got correct.

You've done it again. You've achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

-You were on fire, Andrew.

-It only takes one question wrong, though.

But you haven't got any wrong so far. That's two rounds,

two perfections in a row. It's incredible.

Let's take a look at those answers in detail, shall we?

Emery boards or hats worn by university graduates. True or false?

It is, of course, false.

Emery boards are used for filing nails

and it's mortarboards that our university graduate headwear.

The pop duo The Carpenters were brother and sister,

you said that was true. It is, of course, absolutely true.

In the USA, Groundhog Day is in July.

You said in the film you thought it was in the winter.

Is it true or false? We know it's false, it is actually in February.

You are right. And The Little Prince is a book by Oscar Wilde.

True or false? It is, of course, false.

It was in fact Saint-Exupery.

-HE LAUGHS

-Read much by him?

-No!

-Nor me to be honest.

Anybody else in the room?

No. Listen, congratulations.

As a result of that perfect performance you've made winning

the prize fund of £3,000 a lot easier. Let's see the final board.

On there at the moment are two subjects chosen by you.

Now, because you've won the round, you've won the right

to choose the next two categories to add to the board.

-Let's go for Celebrities.

-Celebrities goes across.

And Pop Groups.

And Pop Groups go into the final.

He is proving fairly irritating for you, isn't he, Usual Suspects?

You're not getting a look in at all. Maybe you will in the final round.

Usual Suspects, I'm going to switch you off

but we will see you in the final round.

Cheerio. Away they go. Are you ready to press on? Whilst you are on fire,

-let's keep it going, shall we?

-Yes.

-Right. Let's play round three.

APPLAUSE

Andrew, you're 45 seconds starts now.

Tom Cruise won an Oscar for Jerry Maguire.

I don't think Tom Cruise has won an Oscar so I'm going to say false.

False. Inhabitants of Leeds are sometimes called "loiners".

I have never heard that expression before but that's

because I don't come from Leeds.

-True.

-True.

The Wizard of Oz is a book by Mark Twain. True or false?

I don't know who wrote it but it's not Mark Twain so that's false.

False. And finally, Abraham Lincoln was the first US president.

That was George Washington so that's false.

False, and again with time to spare, you've answered all four statements.

-Which one are you worried about?

-I'm worried about B.

As I said, I've never heard the expression.

Well, before we reveal how well you've done,

it's time for asked to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Hello, Usual Suspects.

The much underused Usual Suspects in this game.

These were the four statements and next to them are Andrew's answers.

Alexis, has he giving you a look in this time?

He's done well again, I think. I'm not sure about Tom Cruise.

-Alison, what do you think?

-Again I think he's done pretty well

but I've never heard of loiners in Leeds.

Michael, I know you're not from Leeds,

you're a proper old Londoner but what do you think?

He's not far off it again.

Have you shut out the Usual Suspects one more time, Andrew?

The moment of truth. Have you managed to achieve it?

Let's find out how many you got correct.

Congratulations, Andrew. You've achieved Perfection again!

I'll tell you what, there's not many people do that.

Isn't that the most extraordinary performance, Usual Suspects?

-Brilliant. Very good.

-Slightly worrying for the final

and the cash, isn't it?

Are you starting to quake about the cash, going now?

I probably would be.

Let's have a look at those answers in more detail.

Tom Cruise won an Oscar for Jerry Maguire.

We now know that it is, of course, false.

He's been nominated for that film but he's never won an Oscar.

Inhabitants of Leeds are sometimes called "loiners".

You said true and, lo and behold, it is true.

-It's not even an expression that I've heard before.

-Who knew?

Well, you did! The Wizard Of Oz is a book by Mark Twain.

It is, of course, false. It is by L Frank Baum.

Finally, Abraham Lincoln was the first US president.

-You said that's not true because it was...

-George Washington.

George Washington. It is, in fact, false and it was,

of course, George Washington.

Spot on with all of them. Let's see the final board.

Because you won the round,

you've earned the right to choose the last two categories

to add to a board which you've built entirely of your own accord.

-Which two would you like to play in the final?

-We'll go Rock'n'Roll.

-Rock'n'Roll goes in.

-And I'll go Scientists.

And Scientists makes up the sixth and final category in your final.

We now know our six final categories.

They are Formula 1, US Sitcoms, Celebrities, Pop Groups,

Rock'n'Roll and Scientists. Happy with those?

-They're the best six I could have chosen.

-That's absolutely true.

Usual Suspects, do you think you'll get a chance to get

any of this cash or will he trip up in the final? What do you reckon?

It's just luck. It's what you know.

There might be a question he doesn't know and one of us do.

You're absolutely right. OK, guys,

time to switch you off for the final time. Cheerio. And away they go.

Well, Andrew, for £3,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

Andrew, this is the all-important final.

If you can achieve Perfection,

you could be leaving with a prize fund of £3,000.

-That would be nice, wouldn't it?

-It would be very nice.

If you fail, you'll be leaving with nothing which is

great news for the Usual Suspects as one of them could be

playing for a rollover of £4,000 on the next game,

so let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Andrew, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six correctly if you want to win the £3,000.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Then let's reveal your first statement.

Please tell me whether you believe it to be true or false. Formula 1.

Juan Manuel Fangio was the first ever Formula 1 champion.

I do believe he's won five or six championships

but I don't believe he was the first one, so that's false.

False. US Sitcoms.

George Costanza was a character in Seinfeld.

Just trying to think back to my Seinfeld DVDs.

-I'm going to say yes he is, so that's true.

-True. Celebrities.

Kim Kardashian is the ex-wife of Kobe Bryant.

I don't really know who Kim Kardashian is.

I know she got married and divorced very quickly

but I don't think it was to him, so I am going to say that's false.

False. Pop Groups.

Jools Holland was an original member of Madness.

He was a member of a band...

I think it was Squeeze actually, so I don't think it's Madness.

-I'm going to say that is false.

-False.

On to Rock'n'Roll.

-Jerry Lee Lewis was nicknamed "The Killer".

-I've never heard it.

I've never heard that or anybody else being called The Killer

but I think... I'm going to say true.

True. And finally, Scientists.

Crick and Watson were pioneers in the field of DNA. True or false?

I really don't know. I wish I didn't pick those last two now.

-I haven't had too many trues, so true.

-True. OK.

The answers are now locked in.

If there is one single mistake, you leave with nothing

-so which ones are you unsure of?

-The bottom four.

Well, you did actually say

when you chose your categories the first two were the only two you

felt confident on and the last four have been that difficult, have they?

-They have been guesses.

-All right.

Let's bring back the Usual Suspects to see what they have got to say.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and next to them are Andrew's answers.

Andrew, your answers are now locked in and you cannot change them

by yourself but if you think you've made a mistake, you can

unlock them with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will, however, come at a cost.

-Who would you like to hear from first?

-Alison, please.

I think you've done really well but there's a couple

I'm really not sure about.

So I need to have a think about whether I was going to come

and help you but I'm really not confident about it.

-OK. Interesting.

-Alexis?

There is one that I know is wrong and when I am not too sure about.

I don't think I'd come down and help you

because I'm not sure about one of them.

Really? There's £3,000 to play with here.

-If she's not ready to help, she's not ready to help.

-OK.

-And Michael?

You're definitely on a roll there. There's just two I have no idea on.

So I don't think I would come down.

So Michael is unsure of a couple but doesn't want to come and join in.

Alexis thinks you've got one wrong and is unsure of another

and doesn't want to come and help. Alison is considering it.

Alison, I will give you a free rein on how much you think

coming down is worth.

There was one that I'm pretty confident that you've got wrong

so we'll go 50-50 halfway down the line, 1,500?

-Pretty confident.

-Well, as confident as I can be.

I think I've got just as much chance of doing it by myself.

-If I don't do it, then good luck to you guys, then.

-OK.

So negotiations are concluded.

You are going to go ahead under your own steam. So, £3,000 at stake.

Six answers away. Let's find out if you've achieved Perfection.

Before we start this and now that you've decided to go alone,

I want to check something with Alexis.

-You thought he'd got one wrong. Which one?

-C.

-Interesting.

Michael, there were a couple you were worried about.

Yeah, Crick and Watson, that sounds like a comedy group.

Alison, you were thinking of coming down,

which one did you think he got wrong?

I think that the Jerry Lee Lewis one might be wrong.

Interesting, isn't it? They've all got ideas about what you might have got wrong.

Let's start at the top and make our way down.

Juan Manuel Fangio was the first ever Formula 1 champion.

To get you off to a good start, you need this to turn red.

Is it true or false?

-It is false. Congratulations.

-APPLAUSE

-Nino Farina was the first.

-So we move on to the second one.

George Costanza was a character in Seinfeld.

You've got DVD sets of this and you said true,

so we expect this to turn green.

And make it two out of six on the way to the £3,000.

Is it true or false?

It is true.

APPLAUSE

Very good.

Then we get to Kim Kardashian is the ex-wife of Kobe Bryant.

You said that was false.

Alexis thought you might be wrong about this one.

If she were to come down, she would have argued with you to

change that so is it true or false?

It is false.

You are halfway to achieving Perfection in this final round

and winning £3,000.

-That's a lot of cash.

-Halfway to being perfect is not bad.

Halfway to perfect.

You'd always be able to claim, even if we stopped now,

you're halfway to perfect.

Let's take a look at the next one, shall we?

Jools Holland was an original member of Madness.

You searched through your memory banks and decided that

he was in a pop group. You thought it might be Squeeze

so decided to say false.

So, Jools Holland was an original member of Madness.

Is that true or false?

It is false. You are right again.

And, of course, he was an original member of Squeeze.

-OK. Good. I was right.

-So, two away now from the £3,000.

The difficulty is we are into the two that

you were least confident about.

Jerry Lee Lewis was nicknamed "The Killer".

-Alison, you thought that this one might be wrong.

-I did, yes.

Jerry Lee Lewis was nicknamed "The Killer".

You need this to turn green to get you one away from the £3,000.

Is it true or false?

It is true.

Wow.

The last one here, which you actually said this was just

-a flip of the coin.

-Yeah.

Michael was unsure about this one. This was the one that worried him.

You've seen of Alexis and you've seen off Alison with what

they thought was wrong and here you are at the final one.

It all rests on this.

You said that Crick and Watson were pioneers in the field of DNA.

You agreed with that statement and said true.

You need this to turn green.

If it turns red, you will have only got one answer

wrong in the entire game all the way through the rounds

and you will go home without the £3,000.

It rests on this one.

Crick and Watson were pioneers in the field of DNA.

If it turns green, you have won the cash.

Is it true or false?

For £3,000.

It's true!

Congratulations! You have won £3,000!

That's an extraordinary performance.

I mean, obviously very disappointing for you, Usual Suspects,

that the cash has gone but he played some game, didn't he?

-Very good, yes.

-Didn't give you a look in.

Andrew, you take home £3,000.

Seriously, how much does that mean to you?

I've never received a cheque for £3,000. It would be nice to see one.

That's fantastic news. You played an amazing game.

Unfortunately for you, Usual Suspects, we reset the total

back to £1,000 for our next game but congratulations, Andrew.

You have achieved Perfection.

How well did he play, ladies and gentlemen?

APPLAUSE

Wow! What a great way to start the new series.

That's all we have time for.

Please join us next time when our Usual Suspects have the

chance to play again, this time for just £1,000 and remember,

as we have seen, we will play but only for absolute Perfection.

-Goodbye.

-APPLAUSE
