Episode 13 Perfection

Welcome to the show that demands nothing less than perfection.

Behind here are contestants hoping their knowledge is flawless,

cos one single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

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'll 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?

Well, if you said true,

I can 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.

Hello, my name is Chris, I'm from Sittingbourne,

I run a domestic cleaning company and this is my first game.

Hi, my name is Andrew, I'm from London,

I'm a business graduate and this is my second game.

Hi, I'm Madeleine,

I'm from Kington and this is my second game.

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

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.

Dave, you have been chosen.

Please come and play Perfection.

Dave, welcome to the game. Tell us a bit more about you.

You're studying political science and deep meaning

-and psychology and what people think in America?

-Yeah.

-Then you do commentary on wrestling...

-Yeah.

..but you also wrote a line in the Queen's speech.

LAUGHTER

Yeah. That's true.

I've gone through several careers

before I went back to do my PhD.

One of them was that I worked in the civil service for a while,

for the Department of Education. This was about five years ago.

You sound like someone who's, like, 72, writing their memoirs.

-You're only 29, aren't you?

-Yeah, I know.

You're getting on with it, aren't you?

Well, I've done a lot of things,

but I haven't ever settled on anything, so I need to sort of

work out what I want to do with my life now, cos I'm almost 30.

Here's another new experience for you,

playing in a game show, possibility of winning money.

It's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

Their job is to stop you winning the prize fund,

cos your failure will mean the money will roll over to the next game,

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

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000. Here's the good news.

Nobody's won the past six games,

so that prize fund currently stands at...

Wow.

APPLAUSE

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

Every round you achieve Perfection will make the final easier.

But, if your performance is less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects will have the chance to step in

and steal the round, making the final much harder for you.

Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off for now so you can't see or hear anything.

Each round consists of four true or false statements.

You'll answer against the clock, and only have 45 seconds.

Once you've given me an answer - your first answer - it'll be locked in.

-Do you understand?

-OK.

-You ready?

-Yeah, I'm ready.

-Good.

-Then let's play Perfection.

-APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

I remember the Black Death was in London in 1665, so that's false.

I don't know. I'm going to guess it's true.

Don't know. I'm not a fan of Paolo Nutini, but I'll guess false.

I've no idea. True.

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

-How was that?

-Difficult.

I'm confident on the first one but the others are toss-of-a-coin, really.

Well, before we find out exactly how well you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements,

and next to them are Dave's answers.

Madeleine, has he achieved Perfection?

I think he might have.

Ooh. That's interesting. Andrew, do you agree?

I think he has. The only one I'd be concerned about is A.

It might have happened in the 1300s.

Chris?

I think he has achieved Perfection this time.

Vote of confidence for you there from the Usual Suspects.

-That doesn't happen very often.

-They're more confident than I am!

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

Let's see how many are correct.

-One out of the four!

-AUDIENCE GASP AND CHUCKLE

Yes. The expressions on the faces of the Usual Suspects tell us,

and the gasps from the audience, and the laughter from yourself!

Plainly, you haven't achieved Perfection,

so you've let your enemies - the Usual Suspects - into the game.

Doesn't seem like you're in any danger from them though!

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You have Dave's answers - you need to change three of them. But which three?

Gruyere cheese - is that definitely made from goat's milk?

I would have thought so, yeah.

Paolo Nutini's album - I don't know if it was called Over Easy.

-I think that one might be the right one.

-Oh.

How confident are you about the cheese?

-It's the cheese one, I'm not...

-I did think the cheese one was correct.

-OK, do you want to go with that?

-Yeah. The first three.

Right.

We'll change A to true.

B from true to false.

And C from false to true.

And D stays the same as answered by Dave.

Thank you very much, Usual Suspects. Let's see the correct answers are.

The Black Death afflicted Europe in the 1300s.

The Arc de Triomphe is Paris's oldest monument.

It's actually one of the more recent ones.

Paolo Nutini's 2009 album was entitled Over Easy.

AUDIENCE GROANS

Entitled Sunny Side Up.

So, Usual Suspects, you failed to achieve Perfection too.

I wonder if you are still on for Perfection at home - let's get the last answer.

Gruyere cheese is made from goat's milk.

False. It's made from cow's milk.

So, Usual Suspects, had you achieved Perfection

you would have the opportunity

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

Before you, Dave, is the final board.

These six blanks need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are the final round categories.

Had you achieved Perfection,

you could choose two categories for the final board.

But because neither side won the round,

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

Meaning four categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects - time to switch you off, but we'll see you in Round 2.

Now that they've gone and can't hear you, let's have a chat about those categories.

Which ones would you like to avoid at all costs?

Geology wouldn't be good for me.

I guess Medical Terms.

And which ones do you fancy?

I'm a football fan, so depending on the question, WAGS might be OK.

Michael Jackson, again, depends what the question was.

OK, Dave, in order to win the prize fund, you need to answer all six questions correctly.

Winning the next round is crucial, because with four categories on offer it would be a good one to win.

Yep.

-Are you ready for the next round?

-Yep.

-Good. Then let's play Round 2.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

No, I think Beijing is the capital. That's false.

Yeah. That sounds like it rings a bell. That's true, I think.

True. I think that's something you get in a volcano.

I don't like cricket, but I think he was English, so that's false.

And with time to spare you've answered all four. Happy with those?

Happier than last time.

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

So, Usual Suspects,

these are the four statements, with Dave's answers.

Chris, has he achieved Perfection?

Yes, I think he has.

Andrew?

I think he's done quite well. A and D are right. My only concern is B.

I can't imagine Stephen Fry getting expelled. I'm not sure.

-You can't imagine him being naughty?

-Yeah.

-I think I do.

-Madeleine?

-B. I'm not sure.

I've never heard he was expelled, but he could have been.

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

-APPLAUSE

-Congratulations, Dave - you have achieved Perfection!

APPLAUSE

Let's look at those answers in more detail.

Shanghai is the capital of China.

As you said, it is of course, Beijing.

And it is absolutely...

One of two schools he was expelled from.

TERRIBLY naughty boy!

Brimstone is an old name for sulphur.

Viv Richards... Now, interestingly, you said that was false because he played for England.

Is that wrong?

Er, Andrew, who did he play for?

He played for West Indies.

But it doesn't matter, you got to the right answer. It doesn't matter how you get there.

Dave, as a result of that perfect performance,

you've made winning that prize fund of £7,000 a lot easier.

Let's see the final board.

Because you won the round, you get to choose four categories.

That's two from the round that was carried over, and two from the round you just won.

Which four would you like in the final?

I'm a football fan so WAGS might be good. I'll have WAGS.

Shakespeare.

Michael Jackson.

Michael Jackson goes across.

And...Wall Street.

Well, congratulations, and Usual Suspects,

we'll switch you off and see you in the next round. Cheerio.

Dave, well done in choosing your own categories.

Hopefully, you made winning that final a little bit easier.

-Now, are you ready for the next round?

-Yep.

Good. Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Erm... I've seen Friends quite a lot of times,

she certainly wasn't one of the main six. I'll say false.

Never heard of it. True.

Yeah. A black mamba, I think is a snake. So true.

No, I think that was Harold Wilson after him. False.

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

That felt very positive.

We'll have to wait and see.

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

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

So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements

and next to them are Dave's answers.

Andrew, has he achieved perfection?

I think he has done quite well.

The only one I don't know about is D, mainly

cos I wasn't born in the 1970s so I'm not sure about that one.

Chris, what do you think?

I don't know about A,

I've never watched Friends.

-Madeleine.

-Yeah, I think he has done very well.

Dave, the moment of truth. You need

to have answered all statements perfectly to have won the round.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four.

Not bad but certainly not Perfection.

And it means you have opened the door for the Usual Suspects.

Can they step through and clean out your house, metaphorically?

So, you can see Dave's answers. You need to change one of them.

Which one?

The first one is right because Karen Walker wasn't in Friends.

-She wasn't in Friends.

-C is right, I know that.

-Yeah, C is right.

It's got to be B or D.

Which do you think?

All looking at each other, waiting to make the decision.

Right, we'll change B from true to false.

B changes from truth to false,

leaving A, C and D as answered by Dave.

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

A.

Is that true or false?

It's false. She was in Will And Grace.

Moving on. B.

Is that true or false?

It is true.

Usual Suspects, you have failed to achieve Perfection again.

But can you still achieve Perfection at home?

C.

You said that was true.

Everybody was convinced that was true so, of course, it is

true.

And we know where the mistake is now, don't we?

D.

Is it true or false?

Actually, true.

That's embarrassing for a politics student.

-Yeah, but you do American politics, don't you?

-True, yeah.

I'm trying to help you out here.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved Perfection, you'd have the

opportunity to make Dave's chances of winning much harder in the final.

Let's have a look at the board.

There are already four categories chosen to go into the final.

Nobody managed to win Round 3,

so we have two blank spaces to be filled.

To fill them, you'll take it in turn to choose a category.

So, Dave, as the single player, you get to choose first.

Which category would you like to add?

Time.

Time goes across.

And Usual Suspects, you get to choose one category -

-the only one you're going to get to choose here.

-What do you think?

Do you think he knows classical music?

CHRIS: Yeah, go Classical Music.

Classical Music, please.

Classical Music goes into the final.

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

Usual Suspects, it is time to switch you off.

We'll see you in the final, bye. Classical Music?

LAUGHTER We'll see.

I'm not very good at that but

you never know what the question is going to be.

It depends on the question, doesn't it? Absolutely. Dave, for £7,000,

it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

Dave, this is the all-important final. If you achieve Perfection,

you could be leaving with a prize fund of £7,000.

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 £8,000 on the next game.

So, let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

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

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £7,000. Think carefully.

There is no time limit but once you have given an answer,

-your first answer, it will be locked in.

-Yeah, OK.

-Are you ready?

-As ready as I'll ever be, I guess.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

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

I'm almost certain that's true.

Peter Crouch. I'm a Tottenham fan.

Peter Crouch used to play for Tottenham

and I'm pretty sure he married Abbey Clancy yes.

-True.

-True.

Desdemona.

I'm going to say false.

False.

Yeah, I think Bad was released first

so it's false.

False.

Wall Street.

I've never even heard of Gordon Gekko, to be honest,

so, yeah, true.

True.

Yeah, that's true.

True.

Classical Music.

Well, it sounds Scandinavian.

Let's say...

..false.

-False.

-Yes.

And with that, all your answers are locked in.

Remember, if there is a single mistake, you leave with nothing.

Which ones you unsure of?

The last one, certainly.

D, I don't know.

And B.

B, D and F.

And C.

A and E, I am confident about.

But any of the others could do me in.

OK, well, 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 Dave's answers.

Dave, your answers are locked in and you can't change them but,

if you think you have made a mistake, you can change them 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 Dave has done, if you want to help and,

if you do, how much it's going to cost him.

Dave, who would you like to hear from first?

Madeleine.

I'm not sure of a couple

and I'm not sure enough to offer to come down and help. Sorry.

Madeleine has ruled herself out straight away.

Chris.

No, I'm not prepared to come down and help either cos I'm not sure.

And I think she'd like to have a go at the money on her own.

All right, Andrew.

I think you've done pretty well.

There is one there that I think might be wrong

and I'd be willing to come down.

OK, so.

How sure are you it's wrong, first of all?

How confident are you on your answers?

I'm confident on four of them but there's a couple I'm not 100% sure.

I'm pretty sure one is wrong and I'd come down for five grand.

Five out of seven?

So, he wants £5,000 out of the prize fund of £7,000.

You don't sound that confident so, I mean, I'd do it for 50-50,

you know, £3,500 each.

-No.

-No?

-No.

Are you prepared to negotiate on the price at all, Andrew?

No, I'm going to stick with five.

I'm not doing five.

-So, have we come to an end?

-I think so.

-Yeah?

Negotiations have come to an end.

It appears they are either unwilling to come down or,

if they are, they are way too expensive.

As a result, Dave, you're on your own. £7,000 at stake.

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

Now that it doesn't matter, Andrew, which one where you going to change?

I actually thought they were all right.

There you go.

All right, well, I might have gone for four. Who knows?

Let's find out whether you made the right decision.

Maybe you should have eased up on your price,

maybe you'd have saved yourself for another day.

We're about to find out. And we are about to find out

whether you have achieved Perfection and won the cash.

So, let's start at the top and make our way down, Shall we?

A.

Is it true or false?

It is true.

APPLAUSE

Desdemona is a character in the play Othello.

You plumped for false in the end,

so, is it true or is it false?

It's true.

You've blown it straight away. You haven't achieved Perfection

and therefore you're not going home with any of the money.

A smile has appeared on Andrew's face.

You could have been down here going home without any cash as well.

-I could have been, yeah.

-That was a lucky escape, wasn't it?

-It was, very.

-I wonder if you can still achieve Perfection at home.

So we'll go through the rest of the statements and see and also see

how well you've done, Dave.

C.

You said that was false.

We need this to be red, then.

Is it true or false?

-It's true.

-Oh, well.

Thriller, '82. Bad, '87.

Let's move on.

Gordon Gekko says the line, "Breakfast is for wimps."

You said you had no idea

who Gordon Gekko was. Wall Street.

The reference to Wall Street was not Wall Street in general,

-it was the film.

-I haven't seen it.

-You haven't?

-No.

You thought this might be true. Is it true or false?

It is actually false.

According to Gordon Gekko, lunch is for wimps.

Not breakfast.

So, how are we doing at the moment?

Three wrong, one right. It would be nice to even this up, wouldn't it?

British Summer Time is one hour ahead of GMT.

You said this was true. You were confident of this.

We'd like this to turn green. Is it true or false?

It is true. Well done.

The composer Edvard Grieg was Swedish.

This was the one that was picked for you by the Usual Suspects.

You said it was false. We would like this to turn red for you.

Is it true or false?

It is false. Very good.

There you go.

Norwegian, in actual fact.

So, well, in the end, it was 50-50. Three right, three wrong.

Not bad but not Perfection, certainly.

And, as a result, it's good 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 £8,000.

APPLAUSE

Dave, I'm sorry, you failed to achieve Perfection and,

as a result, you go home empty-handed.

But with our thanks for being such a great contestant.

-Did you enjoy yourself?

-Yeah, I had a great time.

Thank you very much. Let's hear it for Dave, everybody.

APPLAUSE

Well, it's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect

hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hi, I'm James from Sunniside, Tyne and Wear.

-I'm a business intelligence developer.

-Welcome, James.

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

been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Andrew, it's you that's been chosen.

Come and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

-Andrew, welcome to your game.

-Thank you.

Of course, you were almost here just a few moments ago.

Yeah, I actually thought he had done quite well and I was just

maybe trying to bluff my way down to get the majority of the money.

Do you know what? Normally you'd say,

"What were you thinking, wanting five of his 7,000?"

-But that's kind of what saved you in the end.

-It was, yes.

You would have been out of here with no cash at all.

I think he suggested half and I might have went for that and come down,

wouldn't have changed anything and gone home empty-handed.

Yeah, whereas now you get a chance to do it all on your own.

-And for a bigger amount.

-Yes.

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

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

Here is the good news. Nobody has won the last seven games

so the prize fund currently stands at £8,000.

APPLAUSE

So, what do you spend the money on if you walk out of here with £8,000?

-I think I'd definitely take my family on holiday.

-That would be nice.

-It would be.

-All right, look, it's three rounds and a final to come.

Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off now so you can't see or hear

anything, but as soon as Andrew makes a mistake,

you'll be back in the game.

When they are in silhouette like that, you can talk through

your answers without giving away any vital knowledge.

-Are you ready to play?

-Yes, I am.

-Then let's play Perfection.

Andrew, your 45 seconds starts now.

That's wrong. I think it's worth three points.

-So you're saying?

-It's false.

-False.

-Wow, that's an unusual one. So unusual that I think I'm going to go for true.

-True.

-I'm not quite sure about that, but I'll go for true.

-True.

Oh, wow. Eh, I'm not sure. I'll go for false.

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

-Happy with that?

-Eh, yeah.

Anything you're worried about?

-Probably the last two.

-Yeah.

And I think B's just - I don't...

Unless I've gone to Denmark and started counting all the people, I just don't know.

We will reveal exactly how well you've done. It's time for us to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So Usual Suspects, these are the four statements

And next to them are Andrew's answers.

-Madeline, has he achieved Perfection?

-I'm not sure about D.

-Not sure about D. Chris?

-I don't know about A or D.

-So, difficult to tell, really?

-Yes.

-James, how do you think he has done?

I think he's done very well. I would say D is one

I would possibly question, but I would say the others,

-yeah, I think those are right.

-OK, Andrew, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly

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

Congratulations, Andrew. You have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Right, let's have a look at those answers in more detail.

The green ball in snooker is usually worth four points.

That is, of course...false.

And it's three, as you said.

In Denmark there are more pigs than people.

-It would be fair to say this was bit of a guess?

-Yeah, it was. Yeah.

I suppose the clue, if you think about it,

is there's a lot of Danish bacon around, isn't there?

So is it true or false? We now know it to be true.

-5.5 million humans and 12 million pigs.

-Wow.

Yeah. A barometer measures atmospheric pressure.

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

And WB Yeats and WH Auden had the same first name,

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

Yeats was William, Auden was Wystan.

So, Andrew, as a result of that perfect performance,

you've made winning the prize fund a lot easier. And here's how.

Appearing before you is your final board. The six blank spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are your final round categories appearing.

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

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

-I think I'll go Sherlock Holmes.

-Sherlock Holmes goes across.

-And, er, Talent Shows, please.

-And Talent Shows goes across.

Usual Suspects, see you in the next round, where you may get a look in.

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

Of those ones that you can see on the left there,

which ones would you like to avoid?

-Probably Trees.

-Trees.

-And Wine, probably.

And Wine. And which ones do you fancy?

Um...maybe Children's Toys,

-everyone might know a bit about that. And Animals, maybe.

-All right.

Well, Andrew, you made a great start to the game.

If you're ready, let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I think that's a bit before my time. I don't know. I'm going for false.

False.

I think he was an MP. I'm not sure for where.

-I'll go for true.

-True.

-I think that is tr... Yeah, I think is correct, I'll for true.

-True.

I think I've heard that somewhere. I can't think where

-but I'm going to go for true again.

-True.

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

A little bit more suspect, that round. Or you seemed more hesitant?

Yeah. None of them really shouted out at me. So, not quite sure about...

-So, a couple of guesses in there?

-Yeah, definitely.

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 Andrew's answers.

-James, has he achieved Perfection?

-Oh, that's a tough one.

Em, there's a couple, maybe A and B, I would question.

-OK. Chris?

-I would say I'm unsure of B.

-Madeleine?

-I'm not sure of A or B.

But I think C and D are probably right.

OK, the suspicion seems to be around A and B.

Andrew, the moment of truth.

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

Two out of four.

Not bad, but certainly not Perfection like the first round.

It means you've opened the door to your enemies, the Usual Suspects.

Can they walk in and snatch the round?

You can see Andrew's answers, you need to change two of them.

Which two is it going to be?

D is definitely right and I think C is.

-C is definitely right, yes.

-I think it is A and B, yes.

-False and true?

-Yes, change those.

We'll change A from false to true.

A changes from false to true.

And B from true to false.

And B changes from true to false,

leaving C and D as answered by Andrew.

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

Gene Kelly directed Hello, Dolly! Is that true or false?

It is true.

Giles Brandreth was the Labour MP for Chester.

Is that true or false?

It is false. He was actually a Tory MP for Chester.

You know where this is going, don't you, Usual Suspects?

You can begin to smile and enjoy yourself.

C. Is that true or false?

It is true.

Finally, alligator pear is another name for the avocado.

True or false?

It's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Oh, dear, Andrew. The Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed

and they've stolen the round.

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

chances of winning the prize fund of £8,000 much harder.

Let's see the final board.

Two subject categories chosen so far in the final by Andrew.

But because you won the round, Usual Suspects,

you get the right to choose the next two categories to add to the board.

Which two do you want Andrew to play in the final?

-Audrey Hepburn?

-Yeah, that would be a tough one.

Audrey Hepburn.

Audrey Hepburn goes into the final.

-Famous Italians?

-Yes.

-Yes.

And Famous Italians, please.

Famous Italians goes into the final.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you've won the second round.

Time to switch you off, but we'll see you in Round 3.

Away they go. What do you make of those two?

Not sure about Audrey Hepburn. I don't really know much.

Famous Italians, if it's to do with sport, I might have a go.

-Might work out for you?

-It might.

-If you're ready...

-Yeah.

-..let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I don't think that's true. I have a history A-level, so this is bad.

-But I'm going to go for false.

-False?

I don't remember hearing that,

-so I'll go false again.

-False.

I don't think it is, I think it might be the stigma,

-so I'm going to go false again.

-False. And finally...

I don't have a clue about that,

-but I'll go true.

-True.

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

Not really, no.

-They're tough questions, aren't they?

-They are, yeah.

But who knows how you've done?

Before we find out, it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements

and next to them are Andrew's answers.

Chris, how do you think he's done?

I think he's done quite well, but I think possibly A should be true.

-Madeleine?

-I think B's wrong. I think that should be true.

-James?

-I wouldn't be surprised if he had Perfection there.

It's D I'm unsure of.

I don't know D.

OK, Andrew, the moment of truth - how many have you got correct?

Just one out of four.

I wouldn't be too worried because the Usual Suspects don't seem

any more informed about this than yourself.

But you have let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round? You can see Andrew's

answers, you need to change three of them, but which three?

I think Princess Anne did win gold.

-Do you think so?

-I'm sure she did.

I thought C was correct.

You thought C was?

D, I thought it was a thing on a sundial.

A gnomon. I might be wrong.

B, I want to change.

Well, change it.

We'll change B from false to true.

B changes from false to true.

You need two more to change.

D, from true to false.

D changes from true to false.

-A or C?

-A.

-And we'll change A from false to true, then, please.

A changes from false to true,

leaving C as answered by Andrew.

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

The Holy Roman Empire lasted into the 19th century.

Is it possible that's true

or is it false?

It is actually true.

Princess Anne won an Olympic gold medal. Is that true or false?

That's false.

She did compete as a member of the British Equestrian Team

at the Olympics in 1976 but she didn't win a gold medal.

Oh, dear, Usual Suspects.

You had the chance to steal the round but failed to find Perfection.

I wonder whether you can still achieve Perfection at home.

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

C.

That's true. That's the one you needed to change.

D.

That is false. What did you think it was, Madeleine?

The needle on a sundial?

Yes, in actual fact, you're absolutely right.

Had you achieved Perfection,

you'd now have the opportunity to make Andrew's chances of winning

the prize fund much harder in the final.

Let's have a look at the final board. There it is.

Four subjects already on there. And nobody managed to win Round 3,

meaning we have two blank spaces still to be filled.

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

Andrew, as the single player, you get to choose first.

I think I'll go Children's Toys.

Children's Toys goes across.

Now, Usual Suspects, please pick a category.

What do you think?

Do think that he knows Wine?

-Trees, maybe?

-I'd say Wines.

Wine, please.

Wine goes into the final.

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

It's time to switch the Usual Suspects off

but we'll see you a bit later on. Away they go.

Well, you just got away with Trees, there.

You didn't want Trees and they almost chose that.

-How are you on Wine?

-Well, I don't drink, so I don't really know much.

That's tough, isn't it?

Andrew, for £8,000, 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 £8,000.

If you fail, you'll be leaving with nothing.

Great news for the Usual Suspects as one of those could be playing

for a rollover of £9,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

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

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £8,000. Think carefully. There's no time limit.

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

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

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

Sherlock Holmes.

I was hoping more it would have to do with the film.

I'm not that confident on the books.

-I'll go with true with that, A Study In Scarlet. True.

-True.

Talent Shows.

No, that's false. She won the first American Idol so that's false.

False.

Audrey Hepburn.

Wow.

I've no idea on Audrey Hepburn.

I don't think she was.

I think she was probably born in America, so I'll go false.

False.

Famous Italians.

I don't think that's true,

I'm going to go false.

False.

Children's Toys.

Never had a rocking horse.

-I think I'll go for true for that.

-True.

And finally, Wine.

I have no idea.

We'll just go for...

Sounds like it could be a day.

We'll go for true.

True.

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

Remember, if there is one mistake, you leave with nothing.

So, which ones you unsure of?

Probably all of them apart from B.

All of them apart from B. So B is the only one you are confident on.

All right, well, look,

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

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements.

Next to them are Andrew's answers. Andrew, your answers are locked in.

You can't change them yourself. If you think there's a mistake,

you can unlock them with the help of the Usual Suspects

but this will come at a cost.

-Who would you like to hear from first?

-We'll go with James.

-James.

I think there is definitely two that I'm very unsure of

and I think you could possibly need to change them.

But I wouldn't jump straight into it.

Andrew, I've just joined the show, I'm not going to be coming down.

-Sorry.

-James has ruled himself out.

-Who would you like to hear from next?

-We'll go down the line. Chris.

I'm not sure enough to come down. There is a few I'm unsure of.

-I think I'll stay put this time, thank you.

-Leaving just Madeleine.

Yeah, Madeleine.

Well, I think you have got two wrong

but I'm not sure of another two so I'm not going to come down.

Well, it's a unanimous lack of help coming in your direction from

-the Usual Suspects. It looks like you are all on your own.

-I am, yes.

But that means more money for you if you've got them all right.

So, Andrew, £8,000 at stake, six answers away -

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

Let's start at the top, shall we?

A.

This is one of the ones you picked for yourself, wasn't it?

It was, yeah, hoping it would be the film.

And nothing there you could hang on to so in the end you went for true.

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

So, is it true or false?

It's false.

It was in fact the first Sherlock Holmes story.

That's a real shame cos that's put a damper on things

straight at the top. It means you haven't achieved Perfection

and you're not going home with any cash.

We can still go on and find out whether you've achieved

Perfection at home with the rest of the statements and answers.

And also to find out how well you have done.

-Let's move to the next one. The one you were most confident of.

-Yeah.

B.

You are absolutely adamant that this was false. Is it true or false?

-It is false. And the reason you were so sure?

-She won American Idol.

You're absolutely right.

So, let's move on to Audrey Hepburn.

Audrey Hepburn was born in Belgium.

You said this was false but, to be fair,

-you said you don't know a great deal about Audrey Hepburn.

-I don't know.

Let's find out whether it's true or false.

It turns out it is true.

So you are batting 2-to-1 against at the moment.

Perhaps you can pick it up here.

Carlo Gambino was the birth name of Pope John Paul I.

You said that was false.

-Bit of a guess?

-Again, yeah.

OK, is it true or false?

It is false.

Carlo Gambino was the head of a crime mafia family in the USA,

born in Sicily. So definitely not Pope John Paul.

The next one, you picked for yourself.

E.

Is that true or false? You went for true.

-Yeah, teddy bears, really.

-Oh, teddy bears.

-Ever heard of them?

I have, yeah.

And finally, Beaujolais Nouveau Day

is the third Thursday in July.

Tough question for somebody who doesn't drink at all.

Yeah, I have no idea.

No idea. So you went for true

and in the end is it true or false?

That is false, too.

Third Thursday in November.

Well, I'm afraid, not a great end round for you, was it?

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 £9,000.

APPLAUSE

-You're looking very excited about that, James.

-I am, yes.

That would be nice, that, wouldn't it, to take back up north?

-It would be good. I'm going to have a crack at it.

-Lovely.

Andrew, you failed to achieve Perfection,

which means you go home with nothing, I'm afraid.

I hope you enjoyed playing, apart from the final round.

Yeah, it's been a lot of fun.

Let's hear it then, please, everybody - Andrew.

APPLAUSE

Andrew, thank you very much. 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 £9,000.

But, remember, on this show, we will only pay for absolute Perfection.

Goodbye.

APPLAUSE
