Episode 10 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.

Just one single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Hello. Welcome to Perfection, the quiz show where only perfect play is good enough.

Behind me are the contestants, the "Usual Suspects".

They're in our isolation room.

In a moment, we'll find out which of them 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...

..would you say this is true or false?

If you said true, I can tell you you'd be right.

Answering true or false might seem easy.

But if the contestants get 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.

Hello. I'm Pam from Appley Bridge. I'm a sales assistant, and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Lauren. I'm from the West Midlands and I'm a part-time web and graphic designer.

This is my second game.

Hello, my name's Al. I'm from Halifax.

I'm an archaeologist and this is my sixth game.

Hello, my name's Michael. I live in Ramsgate. I'm a retired electronics technician

and this is my eighth game.

Welcome to you, and best of luck as we find out which of you has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Pam, it's you that's been chosen. Please come and play Perfection.

Pam, welcome to the game. Let's find out a bit more about you.

-Let's hear about John, your lovely man.

-Yes.

-Yes.

-A long-distance driver.

-Continental, yes.

He's always been a wagon driver

but the last seven years he's not worked.

-But prior to that, ten years he was doing continental. He did Bosnia, Kosovo.

-Wow.

-Yeah.

-How long have you been married?

-42 years.

-Wow!

-42 years, yeah. APPLAUSE

-Never a cross word?

-Oh, yeah!

-Definitely! I've wanted to divorce him loads of times!

-Yes?

-Oh, yeah.

-It's a regular threat?

-Not any more, no. No.

-Aw!

-Not at all.

-You're really into your horses as well?

-I certainly am, yes.

-That's flippin' expensive!

-Yes, but I haven't got my own now.

But I help other people with theirs.

I say every winter, "That's it. I'm not..." Cos it's hard work in winter.

-But when the spring comes, the sun shines...

-Yes, and I'm out!

-Out and about.

-Yeah.

Welcome. It's you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your team-mates briefly, and now they're your enemies.

To be fair, Michael's got the hump at the moment.

Every time somebody new comes in, they sail straight past him

and it's like he's waiting for a bus that never comes, up there.

-It's your eighth game now?

-Eighth game, yes.

You've been there for ever, haven't you?

I'm thinking of taking squatters' rights out!

OK. They are your enemies, though. Their job is to stop you from winning the prize fund.

If you fail, the prize money rolls over to the next game

where one of them could be sitting here for a much bigger total.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Unfortunately for you, the previous game was won

so the prize fund is re-set to £1,000.

APPLAUSE

-£1,000 is no mean amount of money.

-I think that's grand.

-Exactly a grand!

-A grand, yes!

-Sorry!

-Very good. What would you spend the money on?

It would probably go towards maybe a cruise to the fjords.

-But I don't know whether...

-The fjords?

-Yes, the Norwegian fjords.

-Norwegian fjords.

-Yeah. That's what they're called, aren't they?

It is, as far as I'm aware. I can't say in case it comes up as a question later!

-Right.

-I'll take your word for it.

-Yeah.

Here's 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.

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 much harder.

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

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

Away they go. Right, Pam,

you can now talk through your answers without giving away any vital knowledge, OK?

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, the first answer, they'll be locked in. Ready?

I am, thank you.

Good. Then let's play Perfection.

Round One. Your 45 seconds starts now.

Yes, I think he... He owned Queen's Park Rangers.

-Yes, I'll say true.

-True.

-True.

-True.

I think that's false.

-I've only ever known it...

-False.

-Yeah.

I've only ever known it as Oslo.

True.

True.

And with time to spare, Pam, you did very well there.

Finished. Answered them all. All locked in.

They might not all be right, though!

Anything you're worried about there?

-The Oslo.

-The Oslo one you're worried about.

-Yeah.

-Before we reveal how well you've done, let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

Hello, Usual Suspects. These are the four statements with Pam's answers.

Michael, what do you think? Has she achieved perfection?

I think C... Oslo was called Kristiania once.

-OK. Al?

-Yeah, I'm not sure, to be honest.

But I'd agree with that. And maybe D's wrong, as well.

Lauren, how's she done?

I think the only one I would be stuck on would be A

because I know he's to do with Formula 1.

I'm not sure if he owned a football club.

We're about to find out. Pam, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four perfectly

to have won the round. Let's see how many were correct.

Two out of four's not bad.

Unfortunately, you haven't managed perfection, so you've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see Pam's answers. You need to change two of them.

-Which two?

-C.

-I think C, yes, is definitely wrong.

-That should be true.

-I'm not sure about D.

Can we put C go from false to true?

Yes. C goes from false to true.

-You need one other.

-Bernie Ecclestone was Formula 1.

But it doesn't mean he hasn't owned a football club. I'm not sure.

-My initial reaction was D.

-Is it?

But that, again, I don't know it.

No. Go A, shall we?

-Happy with that.

-Yeah.

-Can we change A from true to false?

A changes from true to false

leaving B and D as answered by Pam.

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.

QPR was once co-owned by Bernie Ecclestone.

Is that true or false?

It's true!

Usual Suspects, you've blown it already!

Yes, he was the co-owner of QPR.

I wonder if you can achieve perfection at home?

Let's go through the statements and see how you've done.

The Owl and the Pussycat's boat was pea green. True or false?

It is, of course, true.

Oslo was previously known as Kristiania.

True or false?

That's true, so that was a good one to change.

But now we can all see which was the other one that needed changing. It's coming up.

It's false.

That's the one you needed to change.

It was, in fact, The Duellists, in 1977.

That was his first film.

So, Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection,

you'd now have the opportunity to make Pam's chance of winning the prize fund much harder in the final.

Here's how. Pam, this is your final board appearing.

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

Here are the final round categories.

From TV Cops through Baseball,

Landmarks, France, and Aviation, with many more in-between.

Now, had you achieved perfection,

you'd now have the opportunity of adding two of those categories to the board.

But because neither side won the round,

both two categories that were due to be chosen now

will be carried over to the next round

meaning four categories will be on offer in Round Two.

Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you off, but we'll see you in Round Two.

Pam, now the Usual Suspects have gone, let's look at the categories and see what you make of them.

Which would you choose, given the choice? The good ones?

Pop Music, The 1970s.

Give me a couple you desperately want to avoid.

Probably Cash Machines and Baseball.

Cash Machines and Baseball.

-Ready for the next round?

-Yes, please. Let's play Round Two.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Um, I think that's false.

False.

Well, I do like my plants

but I've not heard of that before.

-I'll say false for that.

-False.

-No, I think that's false.

-False.

I think she was. Yes. True.

True.

-Good time management, and you've answered all four statements. Feel good about that round?

-No!

-No? It seemed like you felt good about it.

-No!

-No.

-Before we reveal how well you've done, it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements with Pam's answers.

Lauren, has she achieved perfection?

I think the only one I'm not sure about would be B.

It sounds like it could be a disease of plants.

-Al?

-Yeah. B, possibly. I think A is possibly wrong as well.

Michael, has she got them all right or all wrong or somewhere in between?

I think C could be wrong.

I'm sure there'd be a lot more chickens than people in the world.

Why do you think that?

There's a lot of chickens in China.

-Are there?

-Yep, millions.

-Millions.

-Pam, the moment of truth.

Let's find out how many you got correct.

Three out of four!

-Pretty good.

-Oh!

But not quite good enough. Certainly not perfection. As a result,

you've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Can you steal the round, Usual Suspects? You can see Pam's answers. You need to change just one.

But which one is it?

I could be wrong about C.

I think it's between B and C, maybe.

-Yeah.

-Verdigris is what you get on copper pipes.

-Yeah.

-George Bush?

-Maybe George Bush.

-I'm not sure about that.

-What do you think, then?

-I think A.

-Yeah?

-I've never heard of it, but...

I'll go with the majority and say A.

Right. Tentatively change A from false to true.

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

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

George W Bush was nicknamed "The Governator". True or false?

It's false! You've blown it again, Usual Suspects.

You had an opportunity to nick it and you haven't taken it.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was named "The Governator".

Let's move on. Maybe you can achieve perfection at home.

Let's have a look.

Verdigris is a disease of plants and trees. True or false?

It is, of course, false.

Michael, you're quite right. It's what appears when copper tarnishes.

There are more chickens in the world than people. True or false?

It's true! You started out saying that, Michael.

I asked you at the beginning.

You said, "There must be more chickens. There's loads in China."

There are a lot of people in China as well, but...

-You were convinced about that, then you wandered off away from it.

-Hmm.

Cindy Crawford was married to Richard Gere. True or false?

It is, of course, true.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection,

you'd now have the opportunity to make Pam's chances of winning the prize fund much harder in the final.

As neither side won the round,

the four categories due to be chosen will be carried over to the next round.

Meaning six categories will be on offer.

All depending on Round Three. So,

Usual Suspects, I'll switch you off, but we'll see you in Round Three.

Away they go.

Pam, with all six categories to choose in this round, it would be a good one to win.

-It would.

-Ready to play the next round?

-I am, thank you.

Let's play Round Three.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-True.

-True.

Lardons. I think that's false.

False.

She did rescue sailors, but I don't know if it was from that ship.

-I'll say false for that.

-False. And finally...

-False.

-False.

I was worrying about how much time you had left, but you went straight for it.

-Are you sure about that last one?

-Yeah. It was Tim Brooke-Taylor.

-Think that was a good round?

-Nope!

Before we find out how many you have got, let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

These are the four statements, with Pam's answers. Michael, has she achieved perfection?

-No. I think B is wrong.

-Al?

-Yes, I agree with that. That's the one I was going to change.

-Lauren? How do you feel?

-Yes, I was going to say the same.

They all seem to be convinced that B might be where you tripped up.

The moment of truth. You need to have answered all statements perfectly to win the round.

Let's find out how many are right.

Three out of four's not bad.

But not perfection, I'm afraid.

Which means the Usual Suspects have a chance to jump in and nick the game.

-We're all agreed on that.

-We're all agreed.

-Which one are you going to change?

-Change B from false to true, please.

No huge shock, having listened to the three of you!

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

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

Lardons are small pieces of fatty pork. True or false?

Yes, it is true. You know where this is going now, Usual Suspects.

Grace Darling rescued sailors from the Lusitania. True or false?

It is false. She rescued people from the Forfarshire.

Tim Berners-Lee was one of The Goodies. True or false?

It's false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

Tim Berners-Lee invented the world wide web, in fact.

You're right. It was Tim Brooke-Taylor who was in The Goodies.

So, Pam, I'm afraid the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed

and have stolen that round.

Usual Suspects, you now have an opportunity to make Pam's chances of winning the prize fund

as hard as it can be. Let's look at the final board.

No subject categories chosen so far.

Because you've won the round, you can choose six categories to add to the board.

So, which six would you like Pam to play in the final?

Shall we pick two each? Lauren, pick two.

Um, I'll pick Measures and Beaches, please.

Measures goes across.

And Beaches goes across.

-I'll pick Landmarks, please.

-Landmarks.

-And France.

-And France.

-I'll pick Baseball and Aviation.

-Baseball and Aviation.

We now know our six final categories.

They are...

Thanks, Usual Suspects. Well played in the last round.

We'll see you a bit later. Cheerio.

And away they go. So, what do you think of that?

-Any you like?

-Not really, but I'll just have to give it a whirl.

You will. Pam, for £1,000, it's time to play the final.

Pam, this is the all-important final. If you achieve perfection, you could leave with £1,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing, and that'll be great news for one of the Usual Suspects

as one of them could be playing for a roll-over of £2,000

in the next game. So,

if you're ready, let's play the final round.

Here are you final six categories.

You have to answer all six statements correctly to win the £1,000.

-I understand.

-Think carefully. There's no time limit, but your first answer is locked in.

-Ready?

-Yes, I'm ready.

Here's your first statement. Is it true or false? Measures.

-That's false.

-False.

-I think that's false.

-False.

-I don't really know, but I'm going to go true.

-True.

France.

-I think that's false.

-False.

Baseball.

I'm not sure about that, either.

-I'll say true.

-True. And finally, Aviation.

-I'll say true for that.

-True.

And with that, you've answered all the statements and the answers are all locked in.

If there's one mistake, you leave with nothing. Which are you worried about?

-Most of them, really.

-Really.

-Yeah.

-Nothing you're really certain of?

-No.

Let's see what the Usual Suspects have to say.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and with them, Pam's answers.

Pam, your answers are now locked in and you can't change them by yourself.

But you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will, however, come at a cost. Usual Suspects,

I'm going to ask you how well you think Pam has done,

if you want to help, and if you do, how much it'll cost her.

Pam, who would you like to hear from first?

-Lauren.

-Lauren.

Personally, I think you've done quite well,

but there are some there I'm afraid I just don't know what the answer is.

So I'm afraid I'll have to count myself out. Sorry.

-Al?

-Yes, I think you've got about four of them correct.

But for me, it's not worth my coming down. I want the prize money to roll over a bit.

I think you should just go for it.

Michael?

I think you've got two right, two wrong and two I've no idea about.

-Right.

-I don't think I can help you there.

-So not much help there.

-No.

Looks like you'll have to go this on your own.

-I'm on my own.

-£1,000 at stake. Six answers away.

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

-Shall we start at the top and make our way down?

-Yes, please. Yeah.

In Britain, there are two pints in a quart.

You said that's false.

Let's find out. Is it true or false?

It's true.

Sadly,

you've fallen at the first hurdle there.

I'm afraid you haven't achieved perfection so you're not taking home any cash.

-Bye!

-We haven't finished. We have to go through the rest of the questions!

-Go on, then.

-People at home might have achieved perfection. They're waiting to know.

Let's take a look.

The famous Copacabana beach is in Mexico. You said false.

Is it true or false?

It is false. Good. It's in Rio.

The Dome of the Rock is a shrine in Jerusalem.

You said that was true. Let's hope it turns green. Is it true or false?

It is true. Well done.

Parisians refer to their city as Massif Central.

You said that was false. Is it true or false?

It is false. Well done. It's actually a region in south-central France,

known as the Massif Central.

Certainly isn't Paris. So look at that. Three out of four.

-Yeah.

-You're doing very well.

Fenway Park is home to the New York Yankees.

You said that was true. Let's hope it turns green.

Is it true or false?

No. I'm afraid that one's false.

It's actually home to the Boston Red Sox.

Finally, the first commercial Boeing 747 flight was in 1955.

You said that was true. Let's see, is it true or false?

False. A little bit early. January 1970.

So I'm afraid you haven't achieved perfection

and the £1,000 stays where it is.

In fact, Usual Suspects, good news for you. That £1,000 rolls over onto the next game

where one of you could be playing for a total of £2,000.

APPLAUSE

Well, Pam, you have enjoyed your day?

-I thought it was lovely. Absolutely brilliant.

-Thanks very much. Pam, everybody.

It's time to meet the next Usual Suspect hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hi. I'm Rickie. I'm from Wolverhampton

and I'm a retired casino restaurant manager.

Nice to have you with us, Rickie. Best of luck to all of you

as we now find out which of you's been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Michael, it's you!

Congratulations! Look at the relief on his face.

Come down and play Perfection.

Michael, welcome. Let's find out a bit more about you. You've been here a long time.

I have to ask - do you ever play Father Christmas? Not being rude.

Yes, I have done, twice so far. I quite enjoyed it.

To see all the little children and their faces lighting up.

I go in and say, "Ho-ho-ho, children!"

-Fantastic. Do you grow the beard out or...

-I stop trimming my beard in October.

Let it grow bushy. Don't have a haircut from October to January.

It's all padding!

Well, it's you versus the Usual Suspects now.

They were your team-mates. You were team captain for a long time.

We thought you'd never get down here and join us!

-I had my doubts, yes!

-Now here you are and they're now your enemies.

Here's the good news. As nobody won the last game, the prize fund now stands at £2,000.

APPLAUSE

OK. Three rounds. Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off for now

so you can't see or hear anything.

Michael, you can talk through your answers without giving away any vital knowledge.

Why am I telling you this? You've been there forever! You know this.

-I know all about it!

-So if you're ready...

-I'm ready.

-Let's play Perfection.

Michael, your 45 seconds starts now.

I think that's false.

-False.

-Not Beowulf.

That's false. It was 1918.

-False.

-False.

Yes, that's right. His alter-ego is Bruce Wayne. True.

True.

That could be true. I'm not sure. Yeah, true.

True that one as well.

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

-Did that feel like a good round?

-I'm not sure about D.

The rest I think are right.

Before we reveal how well you've done,

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

Hello, Usual Suspects. These were the four statements

and next to them are Michael's answers. Lauren, how has he done?

-I think he's achieved perfection in that round.

-Wow.

-Al, how do you think he's done?

-Same here, actually.

If he has got one wrong, maybe D.

But I think otherwise pretty good.

Rickie, what do you think?

-I think he's probably got them all right.

-A vote of confidence from the Usual Suspects.

Michael, the moment of truth. Have you achieved perfection?

You need to have answered all four perfectly to win the round.

Let's see.

Three out of four. Good, but not quite good enough.

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

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

You need to change one of them. Which one?

-D.

-I think D.

-All the others are correct. Are you happy to...

-Yeah. D.

We'll change D from true to false, please.

D changes from true to false

leaving A, B and C as answered by Michael.

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

It is, of course, false.

It's a Nordic saga.

It is, of course, false. 1918. You were absolutely spot on, Michael.

It's true. With that, we know where this is going, Usual Suspects.

It is false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You've achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

I can tell you who it was designed by, if you're interested.

Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby.

So, I'm afraid, Michael, they managed to succeed where you failed. They've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you have the opportunity to make Michael's chances of winning the prize fund

much harder in the final.

And here's how. Appearing before your very eyes, Michael.

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

Here are your final round categories.

They start with Wildlife, whizz through Sci-fi,

Instruments, Espionage and Shoes

with many more in-between.

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round,

they choose the two categories

hoping to make the final harder for you to win.

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

I was thinking Shoes, maybe. I don't know if he'd know a lot about shoes.

Go for it. Go for Shoes, then.

-Shoes goes into the final.

-Celebrities. He wouldn't know about modern celebrities.

-OK.

-Celebrities as well, please.

-Very well played, Usual Suspects.

You won the first round. Time to switch you off, but we'll see you in Round Two.

Away they go.

Now, they can't hear you so we can have a little chat.

-Shoes?

-No.

No, all I know about shoes is think "Am I wearing them?"!

Not bothered really. Like most men, I think.

-Celebrities?

-All depends on what the question is.

-Yeah, I suppose.

I'm not very good at that.

Let's look at the list on the left.

Which ones would you like to choose, given the opportunity?

-Which ones are good?

-Populations.

-Sci-fi, maybe.

-Yep.

And what would you avoid at all costs?

Rambo.

-Catchphrases.

-Catchphrases.

OK. The way to keep control of things is to win the next round.

-Yes.

-Let's play Round Two.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-That's false. They won 4-2.

-False.

-False.

-Thank you.

I can't remember what it is, but that's false.

-It's not Aikido.

-False.

-False.

-That's true. Yes, it is.

-True.

That's true as well, yes. It's red.

True.

With loads of time to spare, you answered all four statements

in a very confident manner, if I may say.

-That was a great round for you, wasn't it?

-I think it was all right.

I can't... I do paper folding, but can't remember what it's called!

-Whatever it is...

-Origami!

So you know it's not that. Very good.

OK. Before we find out how well you've done,

let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements with Michael's answers.

Al, has he achieved perfection?

He's done very well. He may have got them all right.

May have got them all right. Lauren, what do you think?

-The only one I'm not sure about is C.

-OK. Rickie,

can you cast any light on this? Has he got perfection or not?

Yes, I think pretty much perfection.

The only other thing about D, the cochineal question.

I'm not sure whether it's beetles' blood that cochineal comes from

rather than their bodies, but that could be a little too technical.

Right. OK.

Michael, let's find out how many you've got right.

Congratulations, Michael. You have achieved perfection!

-Well done!

-Thank you.

-Let's go through those.

Football's 1966 World Cup Final went to penalties. True or false?

It is, of course, false,

-and you said they won...

-England won 4-2 against Germany.

Aikido is the Japanese art of paper folding.

-You said false. You do paper folding and it's called...

-Origami.

That is, of course, false.

Aikido is actually a martial art.

-Yes, I thought it was.

-Istanbul is divided in two by the Bosphorus.

You said that was true and, of course, it is true.

And the dye cochineal is made from insect bodies

and that is, of course, true.

So very well done. Very well played.

As a result, you've made winning the prize fund of £2,000 a lot easier.

Let's look at the final board.

On there at the moment, two categories already chosen by the Usual Suspects.

Because you won that round, you can choose the next two to add to the board.

So which two would you like to play in the final?

-Population.

-Population goes across.

And maybe...sky-fi.

"Sky-fi"?! OK!

Sci-fi goes across into the final as well.

I won't argue with Father Christmas! "Sky-fi" is good enough for me!

Usual Suspects, I'll now switch you off.

We'll see you in the next round. Cheerio.

If you want to avoid the really bad ones, you need to repeat that performance one more time.

Achieve perfection and you get to choose the final two for the final round.

-I'll try to, yes.

-Let's play Round Three.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I think that's false.

-He died at about 45. False.

-False. Thank you.

-True.

-True.

Yes, it does. It looks like bark. Yes, that's true.

True.

-That's true, yes.

-True.

Loads of time to spare. You're very positive about this.

-Well...

-Good round for you again?

I'm not sure about nickel.

Is copper and tin brass? No. Yeah, I think it's good.

-Yes.

-Still arguing with yourself!

You can't change them now. Those decisions have been made.

Before we reveal how well you've done, let's have a word with the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements,

and next to them, Michael's answers.

Lauren, how's he done this time?

I think the only one that I would question is A.

I have a feeling he did die quite early due to various illnesses.

I'm not sure if it was before his 40th, but that would be the one that I would change.

-It's a possibility, you think. Rickie?

-Yes, I think he's done pretty well.

I suspect that the Bolshoi Theatre, though, isn't in Moscow.

-I have a feeling it's one of the other cities.

-Al, how do you think he's doing?

All right, I think. Don't know about the nickel - copper and tin.

That might be wrong. But apart from that, he's done all right.

It is the moment of truth. You need to have answered all four correctly

to win the round. Let's see how many are correct.

-Three out of four.

-Ooh.

Not quite perfection. As a result,

the Usual Suspects get a chance to get into the game.

So, you can see Michael's answers.

You need to change just one. But you all have a different idea about which one it might be!

You might need to have a little chat.

I think it's the Bolshoi Ballet one.

Cos I think nickel is an alloy of copper and tin.

Fair enough. Where do you think the Bolshoi is?

I just have a feeling it's a different city.

I think St Petersburg or something.

I don't know. I thought that was right, personally, but...

-I don't know where it is.

-I'm guessing on the other ones.

So if you're happy to go with that. I'm happy to go with your instinct.

-Are you happy with that?

-Yeah.

-We'll go for D, then.

-You want to change D from true to false?

-Yes, please.

OK. Leaving A, B and C as answered by Michael.

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

Henry VIII died before his 40th birthday.

True or false?

It is false.

He was 55 when he died, in actual fact.

Nickel is an alloy of copper and tin.

Is it true or false?

It's false!

It is an element in its own right.

It's not a combination of anything.

Stupid boy!

So, Usual Suspects, you had the chance to steal the round

but you failed to find perfection.

Let's see whether you can achieve perfection still at home.

Let's run through the rest of the statements and answers.

Cinnamon comes from the bark of a tree. True or false?

That's true.

The Bolshoi Theatre is in Moscow. True or false?

Yeah, it's true.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection,

you'd now have the opportunity to make Michael's chance of winning the prize fund much harder.

Let's have a look at that board.

There are four categories in there and two spaces to be filled.

How do we fill them? Because nobody managed to win that round,

to fill those spaces you will take it in turns to choose a category.

Michael, you get to choose first. Which one do you fancy?

Politicians.

Politicians goes across into the final.

Now, Usual Suspects, you get to choose one to go into the final.

-What do you think?

-Rambo.

-Rambo.

-Yeah, I thought that.

Go on, then. Rambo.

Rambo. Why did you choose Rambo, as a matter of interest?

It's one of those random ones, isn't it?

They're all random!

Smashing. We now know our six final categories.

Thank you, Usual Suspects. Time to switch you off for the final time.

Away they go. Michael, you got to choose Politicians,

but they picked the one thing you wanted to avoid.

Yeah. Rambo!

-It might be something about Rambo you know.

-It might be.

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

Michael, it's the all-important final. If you achieve perfection

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

If you fail, you leave with nothing, which would be great news for the Usual Suspects

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £3,000.

-You wouldn't want that.

-Not really, no.

-As generous as you are.

-It would be nice to take the £2,000 home.

-It would, yes.

Let's play the final round.

Michael, here are your final six categories.

They are Shoes, Celebrities, Population,

Sci-fi, or "sky-fi" as we're going to call it from now on!

Politicians and Rambo.

You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £2,000.

Think carefully. No time limit,

but your first answer will be locked in.

-Right. OK.

-Ready?

-Yep, ready.

-OK.

Let's reveal your first statement. Do you believe it to be true or false?

My wife has a pair. I think they're cork soles.

That's true. Yes.

True.

I think I read somewhere that he was.

-Yes. True.

-True.

That is very true, yes. There's about 40 million in Spain and 15 million in Greece.

True.

True.

"Sky-fi"!

Oh. Daleks!

False.

False.

He lives in Hull. He's got a Yorkshire accent.

-No. False.

-False.

Finally, the one you really wanted to avoid

but the Usual Suspects picked for you, Rambo.

Oh.

Yeah, I think it was. Yeah. John. I'll go true.

True. And with that, you've answered all six statements.

Those answers are now locked in.

If there's one mistake, you leave with nothing, which would be a boon for them, but bad news for you.

So, which ones are you worried about?

Rambo.

And... Uh, Daniel Craig.

I'm having second thoughts about that.

Right. Let's switch on the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and Michael's answers.

Michael, your answers are locked in. You can't change them by yourself.

But you can unlock them with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will, however, come at a cost.

So who would you like to hear from first?

-Al.

-You've done quite well, I think.

There's two I'm unsure on,

which I think you might have got wrong.

But with that,

I'm not confident enough to come down and help you out on this one.

-Al's out of the loop. Who would you like next.

-Lauren, what about you?

Yeah, I think that there's possibly two that might be wrong.

But I'm sorry. I'm not sure enough

about the answers to come and help.

Probably more of a hindrance. Sorry.

-Lauren's out, too.

-OK. Rickie?

Michael, I think you've done extremely well,

but there is actually three that I'm not sure about.

So I wouldn't want to come either.

OK. Fine.

So it looks like no help at all from the Usual Suspects.

And you're taking this on on your own.

-Right.

-£2,000 at stake.

Six answers away.

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

Starting at the top. All espadrilles have cork soles.

Is that true or is that false?

-You've got a pair of these?

-My wife has.

They've got cork soles.

On that basis, you went for true.

We want this to turn green for you to get you off to a good start.

Is it true or false?

Oh, it's false!

Yes, traditionally, they have either rope or cord soles.

Do they? Oh. Right.

So I'm afraid you haven't achieved perfection.

-The money's not going to go to you today.

-Right.

Can you achieve perfection at home? Let's take a look and find out.

And to see how close you were to doing well.

Daniel Craig was once in the Royal Marines. You said true.

-But you doubted it after you'd said it.

-Yes.

True or false?

-Yes, it's false.

-Wrong.

He was in the National Youth Theatre at 16

and went on to acting jobs afterwards. Let's move on.

More people live in Spain than Greece. You're certain about this.

You said true and it is...

..true.

Spain 46 million. 11 in Greece.

In Doctor Who, Davros created the Cybermen.

It is fair to say that you were helped with your tie!

You said not the Cybermen,

it was, of course, the Daleks.

So you said false. Is it true or false?

Yes, false. Very well done.

Davros did actually create the Daleks.

Moving on. John Prescott was born in Wales.

You said this must be false, surely, cos he lives in Hull.

-Yes.

-He's got a northern accent.

-He's got a northern accent.

Is it true or false?

It's true - he was born in Wales.

Finally, Rambo. You never liked the whole Rambo thing.

You were hoping not to get Rambo. They chose Rambo for you.

Yes.

Rambo's first name is John. You said that's true.

Let's see. Is it true or false?

-It's true!

-True!

The one you didn't want, you got right!

So looking down the list. You got three right and three wrong.

-You were batting 50 per cent. Not bad, under the circumstances.

-OK.

Usual Suspects, great news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game

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

APPLAUSE

Michael, you've been on this show almost as long as I have!

We loved having you. You've been a great contestant.

I'm sorry you didn't win the money but I hope you enjoyed it here.

I've enjoyed it, yes. A great experience. Lovely.

Smashing. Let's hear it for Michael, everybody.

That's all we have time for. Join us again next time

when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play again, this time for £3,000.

Remember, on this show, we only pay for perfection. Goodbye.
