Episode 12 Perfection

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

Behind the screen, four contestants hoping their knowledge is flawless

because one mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome to 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 find out which one 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 that's 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 contestant gets an answer wrong, their opponents,

the Usual Suspects, will be allowed into the game to capitalise on their mistake.

So you know how the game works, let's meet the Usual Suspects.

Hi, I'm Dave. I'm from Woking in Surrey, I'm a PhD student,

and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Di, currently living on the Isle of Wight,

I work for a steam railway and this is my second game.

Hi, I'm Amanda, I live in London, I work in logistics

and this is my second game.

Hello, my name is Al and as you may all know by now, I'm from Halifax.

I'm an archaeologist, and this is my tenth game.

OK, look, welcome to you all, and good luck,

as we find out which of you has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Amanda! Please come and join us and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Amanda, welcome. Let's find out more about you.

-How would you describe yourself?

-As a massive geek.

-Really?

-Yes.

When it comes to things like films, music, books - I'm a big, big geek.

I heard you once passed yourself off as someone famous.

I did. I convinced a guy in a pub that I was Mel C.

Obviously, the similarity is striking.

No, absolutely! It's like being in the room with her, to be fair.

-Yeah.

-Did you have to sing to prove the point?

-No, but I did sign a beer mat for him. So he was happy.

Right, let's see how you get on. Welcome, and enjoy yourself.

It's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

Briefly your team-mates, they are 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 playing here for a bigger total.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000, and here's the good news -

nobody's won the last four games

so the prize fund currently stands at £5,000!

APPLAUSE

So, if you had the chance to walk out of here with £5,000,

what would you splash the cash on?

I owe my dad about four, five hundred thousand pounds,

so maybe give him a couple of quid.

OK, here's how the game works - you play three rounds and then a final.

Every round you achieve Perfection in will make the final easier.

However, if your performance is anything less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects get a 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.

Each round consists of four true or false statements.

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

and once you've given an answer, your first answer, it will be locked in.

-Do you understand?

-Yep.

-Ready to play?

-Yep.

Good. Let's play Perfection.

Round 1. Your 45 seconds starts now.

Um, I know there was someone famous was his coach,

but I think that was Ivan Lendl, so I'll say false.

-That's true.

-True.

I don't think that's true. I think it's sausage dog.

I might get shouted at by my mother for that - I'll say false.

False. And finally...

Something in my mind's telling me that's true.

True. Thank you. With time to spare, you've answered all four statements.

Why would your mum be upset with you about the dachshund thing?

My mum loves dogs, absolutely insanely loves them. Knows everything about them.

How was the rest of the round?

I'm not sure. We'll see when we find out how many I got right.

Before we reveal how well you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements and next to them are Amanda's answers.

Al, has she achieved Perfection?

I think B may be false.

OK, Dave, has she achieved Perfection?

C and D, I'm less sure about. I think possibly C is wrong.

I think it may be true.

Amanda, you need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round.

Let's find out how many you got correct.

Three out of four's pretty good, but it's not Perfection,

and that's what you need to win the round.

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

Usual Suspects, can you steal this round?

You can see Amanda's answers.

You need to change one, but which one?

-It's C or D.

-If I had to choose, I'd say C.

Let's go for C, then. Change that from false to true.

OK, C changes from false to true,

leaving A, B and D as answered by Amanda.

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

Boris Becker was Andy Murray's coach for two years, true or false?

It is false.

Leon Smith and Ivan Lendl coached him, but never Boris Becker.

Moving on, Watford Gap is a service station on the M1. True or false?

It is true.

Dachshund translates from the German as 'cucumber dog' -

is that true or false?

It's false!

It actually translates as badger dog.

Usual Suspects, you failed to achieve Perfection, you haven't stolen the round.

I wonder if you can still achieve Perfection at home.

The pub in Only Fools And Horses is The Grapes, is that true or false?

Yeah, it is false.

It was The Nag's Head.

Well, Usual Suspects, had you achieved Perfection,

you would now have the opportunity to make Amanda's chances of winning the prize fund harder in the final.

And here's how. Amanda, before you is your final board.

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

Here are the final round categories.

Musicals, Forrest Gump, and many more in-between.

Now, had YOU achieved Perfection,

you'd now have the opportunity to add two categories of your choice to the board, BUT...

because nobody won that round,

the two categories that were due to be chosen will now be carried over to the next round,

meaning four categories will be on offer in Round 2.

Usual Suspects, time to switch you off.

Looking at the left-hand side there, which ones would you choose

if you had power over the board?

Musicals, definitely. I'm a huge, huge geek on musicals.

Anything else you fancy?

Forrest Gump. I've seen it a few times.

I'm quite good at remembering films.

And Batman, it depends.

If it's the films, I'd be quite good, if it's the comics, probably not.

OK. Which would you desperately like to avoid?

TV Cooks, probably. Not too good on them.

All right, well, remember, Amanda, in order to win the prize fund,

you will need to answer all six questions correctly.

Winning this next round could prove crucial, with four categories on offer.

-Ready to move on?

-Yeah.

-OK, let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-Um, that's false.

-False.

-Yep.

Yes, definitely, that's one of my favourite films.

-So you're saying...?

-That's true, sorry.

-True.

Um, I'm pretty certain that that is false.

-False?

-Yep.

I'm pretty certain that's true. I'm sure I've read that somewhere.

That'll probably be wrong. I'll go with true.

True. Thank you very much.

And with that, you've answered all four statements.

-Happy with that?

-I think so.

Before we reveal how well you've done,

let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, these were the four statements, and next to them Amanda's answers.

Dave, has she achieved Perfection?

I think she may have A wrong.

I think Abyssinia may be a former name of Iraq.

-Right.

-Al?

I think she's got them all right there.

Do you? See, there you go.

Amanda, the moment of truth. Let's find out how many you've got correct.

Congratulations, Amanda, you have achieved Perfection!

APPLAUSE

Very, very well played.

Let's have a look through those and explain how that works.

Abyssinia is a former name of Iraq, that is, of course...

false.

It is actually the former name for the Ethiopian Empire.

And Muriel's Wedding is a film about a keen Abba fan. You were very quick to say that was true.

-You like this film?

-Yeah. One of my favourite films of all time.

-Got some great lines in it.

-So, it is, of course...

true.

On a menu, 'florentine' usually means 'with chilli' -

you said that was false, and it is, of course...

false because it means with spinach.

And finally, a leatherback is a type of sea turtle,

you were absolutely certain that was true,

and you were absolutely...right.

Very well played, Amanda.

Let's see the final board.

Now, because you won that round,

you can choose four categories to add to the board.

Two from the first round and two from this round we've just played.

So which four would you like for the final?

Definitely Musicals, please.

Musicals goes across.

We'll go Forrest Gump and hope it's something to do with the quotes.

Forrest Gump goes across.

Let's go Batman and hope.

Batman goes across.

And one more, please.

Time zones, please.

Time zones is the fourth category in the final.

Usual Suspects, I'm now going to switch you off.

We'll see you in the next round.

Amanda, well done. By choosing your own categories,

you've hopefully made winning the final easier.

-You ready to play the next round?

-Yep.

-OK, let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I think that's false.

False.

-That's false. He's the lead singer of The Verve.

-False.

No, that's false. Van Gogh's later than that.

False. And, finally...

I think that's false.

False. And with time to spare, you have answered all four statements.

You were good on your music, it seems. You seemed confident on that.

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

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements.

Next to them, Amanda's answers.

Di, has she achieved Perfection?

Yes, I think she has.

Dave, do you know any different?

Yeah. I'm 99% sure she's got D wrong.

Michael Collins was the pilot on Apollo 11.

Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong went down to the lunar surface.

Wow, that's some interesting knowledge. If he's right.

Amanda, the moment of truth. You need to have answered all four perfectly to have won the round.

Let's find out how many you got correct.

Three out of four's not bad,

but it's not good enough to secure the round,

which means you've let the Usual Suspects into the game. Can you steal the round?

You can see Amanda's answers, you need to change one. Which one will it be?

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

D changes, A, B and C remains the same.

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

Starting at the top, on a standard dartboard, the 20 is between 5 and 9.

Amanda, you said that's false. Is it true or false?

It is false. It is, of course, between 1 and 5.

Richard Ashcroft is the lead singer of Snow Patrol, true or false?

It is false. It is, of course, The Verve.

Moving on, The Night Watch is a 1642 painting by Van Gogh,

true or false?

It is, of course, false. Rembrandt's best-known work, actually.

And Michael Collins flew on the Apollo 11 mission, true or false?

It is, of course, true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Well, Amanda. The Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed.

And as a result, they've stolen a round.

Usual Suspects, you can make Amanda's chances of winning the prize fund that bit harder.

Let's see the final board.

Because you won the round, you can choose the last two subject categories.

So, which two would you like Amanda to play.

I don't think she'd know anything about the Epsom Derby.

-I was thinking that, actually.

-Yeah? We'll go for Epsom Derby.

Epsom Derby goes in. And?

Snakes? What do you think?

We'll go for Snakes cos it's quite a random one.

Thank you very much. Snakes goes across.

We now know our six final categories. They are...

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

Epsom Derby? Know anything about horse racing?

I know one thing about the Epsom Derby,

but if it doesn't come up, then...yeah.

That's a worry. And Snakes... Depends what it is.

-Could be anything.

-OK. Amanda, for £5,000 it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

Amanda, this is the all-important final.

If you can achieve Perfection, you could be leaving with a prize fund of £5,000.

If you fail, you'll leave with nothing,

which would be great news for the Usual Suspects as one of them

could play for a rollover of £6,000 in the next game.

So, let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Amanda, here are your final six categories. They are...

You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £5,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit but once you've given me an answer, it will be locked in.

-Ready?

-Yep.

-Then let's reveal your first statement.

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

Musicals...

-That's absolutely definitely true.

-True?

-Yep.

Forrest Gump.

I'm pretty certain that that is true.

-Yes, I'm going to go with true.

-True.

You seem slightly worried but chose it anyway. Batman.

The Joker is named Oswald Cobblepot.

No, that's false. It's the Penguin is Oswald Cobblepot.

-So, you're saying...

-False.

False.

Time zones.

Is that true or false?

It... It's huge. I can't...

I can't... I can't see it being able to.

I'm going to say false. I think it's too big.

False.

Epsom Derby.

I know nothing about horse racing. Um...

-Let's say true.

-True. And finally, Snakes.

Anacondas kill their prey using venom.

No, I'm pretty certain that's false. I'm sure they crush them.

So, I'm going to go false.

False. And with that...all your answers are now locked in.

One mistake, you leave with nothing. Which ones are you unsure of?

I'm doubting myself on Forrest Gump.

I'm starting to think Kathy Bates played his mother.

Then, I'm not sure about D or E.

B, D and E are the ones giving you cause for concern.

-Yep.

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

Usual suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and next to them are Amanda's answers.

Amanda, your answers are locked in. You can't 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.

Usual Suspects, I'll ask you how well you think Amanda has done,

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

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

-Di, first, please.

Two, I think, are a bit iffy.

But I couldn't say why.

Does that translate in you wanting to come down and help out?

If I was a wee bit more confident about those two, I would, but not this time.

-Who'd you like to speak to now?

-Let's go with Dave.

Yeah, I'm the same. There's a couple I'm not sure about,

but because I'm not sure, I wouldn't want to risk my place on the show,

so I'm going to rule myself out.

-So, Al?

-Yeah, I think you've got one wrong there,

but I'm willing to come down for 3,000

to help you out on it.

So, you have a pot of £5,000 available to negotiate with,

and Al would like £3,000 to come down and help you.

So, what do you think is going on?

Is he making you a genuine offer, is he bluffing?

I'm not sure...

that Al does know. I think he's just, er...

I wouldn't come down otherwise, let's put it that way.

2,500, Al.

-Right, come on, we'll do that then.

-Come on, then.

Negotiations are complete, are they?

-Yep.

-Yep.

All right, Al, for £2,500 of the £5,000 prize pot,

please come down and join us.

APPLAUSE

Well, Amanda,

you've asked Al for help.

If you achieve Perfection, it'll cost you £2,500

of your potential prize fund of £5,000.

Al, you've now forfeited your chance to play in the next game.

This is your only chance of winning Perfection.

Have you made the right decision? Here are the final round statements.

All six answers are now unlocked, so...

Bear in mind, Amanda, Al did offer to come down on the last show

only to tell us afterwards that he didn't want to change anything when he got here.

-I remember.

-So, this might be an interesting conversation.

Go ahead.

I think they're all correct, to be honest.

The only thing I wasn't sure on was B.

But I thought you'd know that, being...

Initially, I was sure it was Diane Keaton,

and then I started to think maybe it was Kathy Bates,

and now I'm back with Diane Keaton, I think.

Let me just check that I've got this right.

Al, in the last show, you offered to come down for a slice of the money

and were turned down and then you admitted that you were bluffing.

Yeah. I feel like all them are right, so I've done the same.

-You've done the same thing again.

-Yeah.

-And Amanda's accepted

and lost £2,500 of her prize fund

in order to go through the same... But it is unlocked, so if you wanted to change anything now, Amanda,

now would be the time.

-I'm going to change B to false.

-Are you sure?

-Yeah.

-So, you're changing B from true to false?

-Yeah.

-OK.

-B changes from true to false, and now?

-We'll leave the rest.

-Yeah, leave the rest.

OK, so, all the rest remain as answered by Amanda

and all those answers are now locked in.

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

-Let's start at the top and work down, shall we?

-OK.

All That Jazz is a song from Chicago.

-You were fairly confident on that one.

-Yeah.

I did a rendition of it at a friend's party,

which ended up on the internet, so... LAUGHTER

You know this one's going to turn green. Is it true or false?

It is, of course, true. Good start.

APPLAUSE

Now, we find out whether it was worth asking Al to come and join you

because although he didn't want to change anything,

he did give you the opportunity to second-guess yourself on this one.

Forrest Gump's mother was played by Diane Keaton.

Is it true or is it false?

It's false!

APPLAUSE

It was Sally Field. So...

how far does this go?

The Joker is named Oswald Cobblepot.

-You were fairly sure straightaway that that was the name of The Penguin.

-Yes.

So, you expect this to turn red as you said false.

Is it true or is it false?

-It is false and you're right.

-APPLAUSE

So, halfway towards the £5,000.

£2,500 each.

China officially operates under a single time zone.

You said such a huge country couldn't possibly be under one single time zone.

Well, we require this to turn red to keep you on course for the £5,000.

If it turns green,

you've lost the money, you go home with nothing

and the money rolls over to the benefit of the Usual Suspects.

So, China officially operates under a single time zone.

You said false. We require this to turn red.

Is it true or false?

It's true!

ALL GROAN

GMT plus eight.

-Oh, right.

-Across the whole of China.

And I'm afraid you have failed to achieve Perfection. Yeah.

Let's move on to the next one.

The Epsom Derby is run over a distance of one mile.

You said this was true.

So...is it true or is it false?

It's false.

1.5 miles.

Never mind.

Let's hope the last one comes right for you.

Four out of six would be nice.

Anacondas kill their prey using venom.

You said that was false.

We'd like this to turn red for you. Is it true or false?

It is false.

Congratulations.

Four out of six isn't bad at all.

Anacondas constrict and crush their prey.

Great news for the Usual Suspects.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game,

where one of you could be playing for a total of £6,000.

APPLAUSE

Amanda and Al, you failed to achieve Perfection

and go home with nothing other than our thanks for playing.

Enjoy yourself?

-Very much.

-It's been a pleasure.

-You've been doing it forever, Al!

Thanks very much for playing. Amanda and Al, everybody.

APPLAUSE

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

Usual Suspects, please introduce yourselves.

Hi. I'm Andrew, I'm from London and I'm a business graduate.

Hi. I'm Madeleine, I'm 65,

I'm from Kington in Herefordshire and I'm retired.

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

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

APPLAUSE

Di, welcome to the game.

-Thank you.

-You live on the Isle of Wight. What else do you do?

Mostly I just like to get away holidaying, trekking.

-So, where have you been?

-Northern Thailand was probably the place that inspired me the most.

It's a place I'd love to go back to.

Di, it's you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

Here's the good news - as nobody has won the last five games,

the prize money currently stands at £6,000.

APPLAUSE

So, would that take you to Thailand, or have you got other things you want to spend the money on?

There are a few other things I'd probably do with it,

but that would be fantastic.

-All the others are sensible things, are they?

-Yeah.

-All right, look,

three rounds and the final to come,

Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off so you can't see or hear anything.

-Ready to start?

-Yes.

Good. Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1, your 45 seconds starts now.

Er... A newborn hamster...

Er, a squab is familiar, but it's not something you'd associate with hamsters. That's got to be false.

False.

Ooh, it was Jemima, but was it Shore?

I don't think it was Shore.

-Um...

-You've got to watch your time.

-Yeah, false.

False.

-False.

-False. And finally...

Er, false.

False, and just in time.

So. how was that?

Oh, torture.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-But I guess we'll see.

-We will, but before we reveal how well you've done

time for us to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Di's answers.

Dave, has she achieved Perfection?

C might need to be true.

I don't know about the Suez and Panama Canal.

-I'm not sure.

-Madeleine?

Again, I'm not sure of C.

-I'm pretty sure of the other three.

-So, Di,

we need to find out whether you've answered all four statements

perfectly and won the round. How many have you got correct?

Three out of four's not bad, but it's not Perfection,

and that means you've opened the door and let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Can you steal the round? You can see Di's answers. You need to change one of them, but which one is it?

-How sure are you about Charlotte Bronte?

-Yeah, pretty sure.

-Shall we change C?

-Change C.

Yeah. We'll change C from false to true, please, Nick.

C changes from false to true,

leaving A, B and D as answered by Di.

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.

A newborn hamster is called a squab. Is that true or false?

No, it is false, of course.

It's actually a young bird, often a pigeon.

The Vicar of Dibley was called Jemima Shore.

Is that true of false?

It is of course...

false.

Geraldine Granger - ring any bells?

-It does now!

-It does now, doesn't it?

This is the one that's going to be interesting, Usual Suspects.

The Suez Canal was built before the Panama Canal. True or false?

It's true,

in actual fact, yes.

And finally, Charlotte Bronte wrote Far From the Madding Crowd,

true or false?

It is false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Madeleine, you were fairly convinced about D, so do you know who it was?

Thomas Hardy.

Very good. Absolutely right.

They managed to succeed where you failed and stole the round.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity

to make Di's chances of winning the prize fund much harder in the final.

Here's how.

Di, appearing before you is your final board.

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

Here are your final round categories appearing.

Running from British monarchs to herbs, with many more in between.

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you,

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

So, Usual Suspects, which two do you fancy?

-What do you think?

-I don't know!

-Cat Biology looks nice!

DAVE: What about Alloys?

MADELEINE: Yeah, Alloys.

-We'll have alloys, please, Nick.

-Alloys goes into the final.

-We'll go Cat Biology.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Cat Biology, please.

-And Cat Biology. Well done, Usual Suspects,

you've won the first round. Time to switch you off. See you in Round 2.

-Alloys?

-Um, I'd like to think not bad, actually.

-Cat Biology? Do you have cats?

-I'm not sure what makes them tick,

but I like cats. LAUGHTER

Well, looking at that list over on the left there,

which ones would you desperately like to avoid?

Australia, maybe, and...

oh, definitely Eurovision.

Which would you choose yourself, given the opportunity?

-Ancient History and British Monarchs, I think.

-All right, well, look,

-ready to play the next round?

-Yes.

-Good. Let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Ooh, um...

I can never remember North or South.

Auckland South...

False.

False.

Er...

-False.

-False.

-True.

-True.

And, finally...

True.

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

but with an expression on your face

-that suggests you weren't overly happy with that.

-You're absolutely right.

-Which ones are you worried about?

-Pretty much all of them, really.

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

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements and next to them are Di's answers.

-Madeleine, how has she done?

-A is the only one I'm not quite sure about.

-Dave, has she achieved Perfection?

-She's got D wrong, I think.

I think that's false. Ken Clarke has been Tory Chancellor and ran for the leadership a couple of times,

-but I don't think he ever got it.

-OK.

Di, the moment of truth. Let's find out how many are correct.

Just two.

Heading in the wrong direction, if you don't mind me saying.

Certainly not Perfection, which means the Usual Suspects

get their chance to step in and nick the round if they can.

You can see Di's answers. You need to change two of them. Which two?

I'm pretty sure about D.

It must be A and D?

-OK.

-Yes, right, then.

-Yeah. OK.

A and D, please.

A changes from false to true. D changes from true to false.

Leaving B and C as answered by Di.

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

Auckland is on New Zealand's North Island. Is that true or false?

It is actually true.

Julia Roberts won an Oscar for Pretty Woman. Is that true or false?

That is false. She was nominated,

but lost out to Kathy Bates, for Misery.

So, Christian Louboutin is a French footwear designer.

Is that true or false?

It's true.

And finally - you know where this is going now, don't you, Usual Suspects? -

Kenneth Clarke was once Tory Party leader. Is that true or false?

It is false.

Home Secretary and Chancellor, but never leader.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Di, the Usual Suspects succeeded where you failed and stole the round.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Di's chances

of winning the prize fund of £6,000 much harder. Let's see the final board.

Two categories chosen by the Usual Suspects and, because you won the round, you've earned the right

to choose the next two categories to add to the board. What would you like Di to play in the final?

-Ancient History, maybe?

-Yeah, we could do that.

-Yes.

-Happy with that? We'll have Ancient History for one.

Ancient History goes in, and I need one more, please.

-Herbs might be good.

-Yeah.

-Try Herbs.

OK, Herbs, please.

Thank you very much, Usual Suspects, and congratulations.

You won the second round. Time to switch you off and we'll see you in round three.

-Ancient History is one you'd have chosen yourself!

-Absolutely!

-They're doing the job for you!

Great. Considering I'm not doing so well.

LAUGHTER

-Ready to play the next round?

-I am.

Let's play round three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-False.

-False.

True.

True.

Er...

I think he's a golfer.

Or is he?

-False.

-False.

And finally...

F...

-False.

-False.

-Ohhh...

-Good use of your time.

I think that last one was wrong.

Well, you went, "F..."

LAUGHTER

I couldn't tell where you were going! I was slightly terrified you were gong to swear!

-LAUGHTER

-Before we reveal how well you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements and next to them are Di's answers.

Andrew, has she achieved Perfection?

I think she's done quite well,

-but I'm not sure about D.

-Madeleine, what do you think?

-I'm not quite sure about B.

-Whether that's true or not.

-OK. Di, the moment of truth.

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

-Don't look like that, it might happen!

-It might.

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

Three out of four.

The Usual Suspects are in again.

You stole Round 1, you stole Round 2, can you steal Round 3?

You can see Di's answers. You need to change one. Which one?

DAVE: I don't watch EastEnders.

ANDREW: No.

I do, but he's been married so many times, I can't remember

how many he's been married to.

Andrew?

I think maybe D.

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

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

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

John Logie Baird invented the lawnmower. Is that true or false?

It is false. It was, in fact, Edwin Budding, in 1827,

who invented the lawnmower.

So, moving on, EastEnders, Ian Beale has six ex-wives.

This one's gong to be interesting for you. Is it true or false?

It's false!

He has four ex-wives. And so, Usual Suspects,

you have failed to achieve Perfection.

I wonder if you can still achieve Perfection at home.

Let's see what the other answers were.

Sergio Garcia is a Spanish Formula 1 racing driver.

That is...

false, because he is a golfer, of course.

The Wars of the Roses occurred in the 17th century.

Is it true or false?

Yeah, it's false, in actual fact. 15th century.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved Perfection, you would now have the opportunity

to make Di's chances of winning the prize fund harder in the final.

Let's look at the board.

On there, four categories and as nobody managed to win Round 3,

you'll take it in turns to choose a category. So, Di, as the single player,

-you get to choose first. What do you fancy?

-Um...

Nutrition.

Nutrition goes into the final.

And, Usual Suspects, you get to choose one now.

-Temperature?

-Temperature?

-Temperature, please, Nick.

Temperature goes into the final.

We now know our six final categories. They are...

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

What do you think your chances are?

-Pretty good...

-Yeah.

-..but we'll see.

Absolutely. Di,

for £6,000, it's time to play the final.

-APPLAUSE

-Di, this is the all-important final.

If you achieve Perfection, you could be leaving with a prize fund of £6,000.

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

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £7,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Di, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly

to win the £6,000. Think carefully.

There's no time limit. Once you've given me an answer

-your first answer is locked in. You ready?

-Yeah.

-Good.

Let's reveal your first statement. Please tell me whether you believe it to be true or false. Alloys.

I think that's true.

True.

Cat Biology.

Er...

Oh, gosh... From memory, I think...

that's about right.

So, we're saying?

-It's true.

-True.

Ancient History.

Um...

Hm... Gosh... Ancient Greeks, that is a long way back.

No.

It sounds like a plant to me. I think that's false.

False.

Herbs.

Um... Now...

Cilantro I associate with lemon, for some reason,

but you can get a lemon coriander, I'm sure.

I'm... I'm going to say...

-..true on that one.

-True.

Nutrition.

-Er...ascorbic acid, yes, that is true.

-True.

And finally, Temperature.

Ooh...

Er, I've always had a problem with conversion.

256 rings a bell, but I've got a feeling it's more like 300.

I am going to say...

false for that one.

False.

And with that, your answers are locked in. Remember,

one mistake, you leave with nothing. Which ones are you unsure of?

-F, obviously, I'm unsure of, yeah.

-So F's the only one troubling you.

-Yeah, I think so.

-All right.

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

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and next to them are Di's answers. Di, your answers are locked in.

You can't change them 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.

Di, who would you like to hear from first?

Um...Andrew.

There is quite a few on there that I'm not 100% sure about.

I've only just arrived in the seat,

so I'm not going to come down and help you, sorry.

Dave.

Yeah, I mean we picked subjects that we thought were hard for you

rather than ones we know.

And I think the evidence is on the screen now,

there's three or four I'm not sure about,

so I'm counting myself out as well.

OK. Madeleine, what do you think?

I'm definitely not sure enough to come down.

So, you are going to have to do this on your own.

No-one's willing to help.

-But, who knows, you might have got them all right.

-Fingers crossed.

£6,000 at stake. Six answers away.

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

F, you're particularly worried about, aren't you?

Yeah, I am worried about that one.

Shall we start down there and go upwards? Yeah.

Please, just put me out of my misery!

OK. This is for £6,000.

You'll find out straightaway if you have half a chance or not.

100 degrees Celsius equals 256 degrees Fahrenheit.

You said that was false.

If it turns green, you've blown the cash

and it rolls over for the Usual Suspects.

If it turns red, you're correct and you're on your way to the money.

Is it true or false?

It's false!

APPLAUSE

100 degrees Celsius is 212 degrees Fahrenheit. So, very well done.

-Feel better now that's out of the way?

-Oh, yes!

OK, let's move on to - Ascorbic acid is a form of vitamin C.

-Confident about this one?

-Yeah, reasonably, I am.

So, it should turn green. Is it true or false?

It is true, very good.

APPLAUSE

We go onto our friends across the pond there.

The Americans and what they call coriander.

Now, you had a think about this.

Hadn't really heard Americans refer to it,

-but came up with a theory.

-Could be completely wrong.

Well, let's find out.

Coriander leaves are known in the US as 'cilantro'.

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

It's true.

APPLAUSE

-Halfway to £6,000. You haven't done too bad at all, have you?

-No.

-OK.

Acanthus was a noted philosopher of ancient Greece.

You said, "That's unlikely, it sounds like a plant."

I think it is a plant,

but the plant could always be named after a Greek philosopher.

-That the danger, isn't it?

-Yes.

-So, you said false.

We need this to turn red to get you even closer to the money.

Is it true or is it false?

It's false.

APPLAUSE

It is actually a tropical plant.

-So, now it's starting to become a reality, isn't it?

-Oh, yes.

-LAUGHTER

-Now, of these two,

was it B you said was the other one you were worried about?

It could be a lot less, come to think of it. It could be three months.

Shall we find out?

SHE SIGHS Yes.

-Which one of these two are you most confident of?

-A.

-Which one do you want me to do first?

-A.

-All right.

LAUGHTER

Let's do A.

Tin is the main constituent of pewter. So, if you're right...

it will turn green.

-Please, please.

-If you're wrong, you've blown the cash.

Is it true or is it false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

-So, you like cats?

-Yes.

We'll see after this, though, won't we?

LAUGHTER

-It's nerve-racking, now, isn't it?

-Oh, yes.

-All right, so...

A domestic cat's gestation period is about five months.

You left it till last because it was the one you're not sure about, yeah?

-Yeah.

-Five out of six isn't bad.

-Six would be better.

But it's not Perfection,

and only Perfection is going to win you £6,000.

You said this was true. You need it to turn green.

If it turns green, you walk out of here with £6,000.

If it turns red...

you walk out with nothing and the money rolls over to the next game.

So, a domestic cat's gestation period is about five months.

You said true.

We need it to turn green. Is it true or false? For £6,000.

It's false.

AUDIENCE GROANS

It's between eight and ten weeks, which...

-Ten weeks is nearer three months, isn't it?

-Almost, yeah.

-You know, I think you played a good game there.

-I enjoyed it.

-Five out of six isn't bad at all, but it isn't Perfection.

-Good fun.

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 £7,000.

APPLAUSE

Di, you failed to achieve Perfection,

just by that one question,

which means, I'm afraid, you go home empty-handed.

But with our thanks for being a great player in the game.

I've had a great time. I've loved it. I've absolutely loved it.

Thank you very much. Di, everybody.

APPLAUSE

Well, 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 £7,000.

But remember, on this show, close just isn't good enough.

We only pay for Perfection. Goodbye.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
