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

0:00:000:00:03

Behind me are four contestants who'll be hoping their knowledge is flawless

0:00:030:00:06

because one mistake could give the game away.

0:00:060:00:09

This is Perfection.

0:00:090:00:11

APPLAUSE

0:00:180:00:20

Hello and welcome to Perfection,

0:00:230:00:25

the show where only perfect play is good enough.

0:00:250:00:27

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

0:00:270:00:30

They're in our isolation room. We're about to find out which of them has been randomly selected

0:00:300:00:35

to join me here to play Perfection.

0:00:350:00:36

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

0:00:360:00:39

For example, if I said...

0:00:390:00:41

..would you say that's true or false?

0:00:430:00:45

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

0:00:450:00:49

Answering true or false might seem easy,

0:00:490:00:52

but if the contestant gets a single answer wrong,

0:00:520:00:54

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

0:00:540:00:59

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

0:00:590:01:03

Hi. My name's Gavin. I'm from Whitley Bay, I'm a former journalist and this is my first game.

0:01:030:01:08

Hi, I'm Alan, from Glasgow.

0:01:080:01:10

I work in pensions and this is my first game.

0:01:100:01:12

Hi. My name's Kassa. I'm from London, I'm a student and this is my second game.

0:01:120:01:17

Hi. My name's Andrew. I'm from Orpington in Kent.

0:01:170:01:19

I'm a hotel manager by trade and this is my third game.

0:01:190:01:23

Welcome to you all. Welcome and best of luck

0:01:230:01:26

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

0:01:260:01:29

Alan! Come and play Perfection.

0:01:330:01:36

Alan, welcome to the game. Your job is as a pensions administrator.

0:01:370:01:42

-Yes.

-But comedy is this whole thing bumbling along behind. How long has that been an interest?

0:01:420:01:48

-I've always been into comedy since I was in my teens.

-Right.

0:01:480:01:51

I've even written some comedy that's been performed on TV.

0:01:510:01:55

-Have you?

-Yes, but it was years ago.

0:01:550:01:57

-So you write comedy and you have a comedy blog that people can sign on to.

-Yes.

0:01:570:02:01

-What's the subject matter?

-I do satirical stuff on the day's news.

0:02:010:02:05

Any other interests outside of comedy or does that take up most of your time?

0:02:050:02:08

No, that takes up most of my time. I'm absolutely obsessed with it.

0:02:080:02:12

OK, well, Alan, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

0:02:120:02:15

They were your team-mates, now they're your enemies trying to stop you winning the prize fund.

0:02:150:02:19

Your failure will mean the money rolls over and one of them could be playing for a bigger total.

0:02:190:02:25

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

0:02:250:02:28

Here's the good news. Nobody has won the last ten games

0:02:280:02:31

so the prize fund currently stands at £11,000.

0:02:310:02:35

So if you were to win that, what would you spend it on?

0:02:380:02:40

Well, I've got a sister who lives in Australia, near the Great Barrier Reef.

0:02:400:02:45

So I would take the whole family out and go and visit her.

0:02:450:02:49

Her husband's a scuba diver, so we'd do some scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef.

0:02:490:02:53

Very nice. Here's how the game works. You play three rounds then a final.

0:02:530:02:56

Every round that you achieve perfection will make the final easier for you.

0:02:560:02:59

If your performance is anything less than perfect,

0:02:590:03:02

the Usual Suspects will have a chance to step in and steal the round, making the final harder.

0:03:020:03:06

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

0:03:060:03:11

And away they go.

0:03:110:03:13

Each round consists of four true or false statements. You'll have only 45 seconds.

0:03:130:03:18

-Once you've given an answer, your first answer, it will be locked in. Understand?

-Yes.

-Good.

0:03:180:03:24

-Fancy having a go?

-Yes, I do.

-Then let's play Perfection.

0:03:240:03:28

Your 45 seconds starts now.

0:03:300:03:33

I think he wrote a lot of novels, Man and Boy, so I'll say true.

0:03:370:03:42

True.

0:03:420:03:43

I think Paula Radcliffe hasn't won any marathons, so I'll say false.

0:03:470:03:52

False.

0:03:520:03:53

I'm not sure about that, but I think it's too obvious, so I'll say false.

0:03:580:04:02

False.

0:04:020:04:04

I'm not sure what a farrier is,

0:04:090:04:11

-but I'll say false.

-False.

0:04:110:04:13

And you've answered all four statements.

0:04:130:04:15

-How did that feel?

-Three out of four, I think.

-The one that worries you?

0:04:150:04:19

Brazil nuts. I'm not sure about anything to do with nuts.

0:04:190:04:22

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

0:04:220:04:26

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements

0:04:260:04:28

and next to them, Alan's answers.

0:04:280:04:31

Andrew, do you think he's achieved perfection?

0:04:310:04:34

I can certainly see one,

0:04:340:04:36

D, I would disagree with.

0:04:360:04:39

-Gavin?

-Yes, I think D is wrong as well.

0:04:390:04:43

And I'm not absolutely certain that Nick Hornby wrote Man and Boy.

0:04:430:04:48

I suspect it might be Tony Parsons.

0:04:480:04:51

But certainly D is wrong, anyway.

0:04:510:04:53

OK. Alan, the moment of truth. You need to have answered all four correctly to have won the round.

0:04:530:04:58

Let's see how many are correct.

0:04:580:05:00

Two out of four.

0:05:040:05:06

Not bad, but not particularly good, either, to be fair.

0:05:060:05:09

And not perfection. You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

0:05:090:05:12

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

0:05:120:05:15

You need to change two. Which two?

0:05:150:05:17

-We were in agreement.

-A and D.

-We'll change A and D, if that's OK.

0:05:170:05:22

All right, Nick. Can we change A from true to false.

0:05:220:05:26

-A from true to false.

-And D from false to true.

0:05:260:05:29

D from false to true, leaving B and C as answered by Alan.

0:05:290:05:32

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

0:05:320:05:35

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

0:05:350:05:38

It is actually by Tony Parsons. Very good, Gavin.

0:05:450:05:48

-She's won three, in fact.

-Oh!

0:05:550:05:58

Brazil nut trees are native to many South American countries.

0:06:040:06:07

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

0:06:070:06:10

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You've achieved perfection!

0:06:150:06:19

Alan, they succeeded where you failed.

0:06:220:06:24

They've achieved perfection and stolen the round.

0:06:240:06:27

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

0:06:270:06:31

much harder in the final. Here's how.

0:06:310:06:33

Alan, here's your final board.

0:06:330:06:35

These six spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

0:06:350:06:38

Here are your final round categories appearing.

0:06:380:06:41

If you'd won that round, you could have chosen two categories to go into the final board.

0:06:450:06:50

But because the Usual Suspects stole the round,

0:06:500:06:53

they choose two categories, hoping to make the final harder for you.

0:06:530:06:56

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

0:06:560:07:00

-ABBA jumps out at me.

-Yeah, I'm happy with ABBA, yes.

0:07:000:07:03

The first one we'll choose, Nick, is ABBA.

0:07:030:07:06

ABBA goes into the final.

0:07:060:07:08

I think Ologies might be quite interesting.

0:07:080:07:11

-Ologies I'm happy with, as well.

-Yeah.

0:07:110:07:13

And the second one, please, Ologies.

0:07:130:07:15

Ologies goes into the final. Well done, Usual Suspects.

0:07:150:07:18

You've won the first round. We'll see you in a moment for Round Two.

0:07:180:07:21

And away they go.

0:07:210:07:23

What do you make of the two they chose? ABBA?

0:07:230:07:25

-No, I'm not a big fan.

-No?

-Not even Mamma Mia!

-OK.

0:07:250:07:29

-What about Ologies?

-I'm not sure.

0:07:290:07:32

OK, look at what's there. Which ones are you desperate to avoid?

0:07:320:07:36

I would avoid Crafts and Formula One.

0:07:360:07:39

And which would you choose, given the choice?

0:07:390:07:42

I would choose Sci-fi Films and TV Cops.

0:07:420:07:45

OK, Alan, it's only the first round.

0:07:450:07:48

Two more rounds to find perfection

0:07:480:07:50

and choose your own categories for the final.

0:07:500:07:52

-Ready to play another round?

-Yes.

0:07:520:07:54

OK. Let's play Round Two.

0:07:540:07:56

Your 45 seconds starts now.

0:07:590:08:01

I think he was in the army, not the RAF, so I'll say false.

0:08:040:08:09

False.

0:08:090:08:11

I'm sure a rood is a cross, not a crucifix,

0:08:160:08:19

so I would say false.

0:08:190:08:21

False.

0:08:210:08:23

It sounds Italian, so I'm going to say false.

0:08:290:08:33

False.

0:08:330:08:34

I think that's highly unlikely. It's got windows.

0:08:380:08:41

So false.

0:08:410:08:42

False.

0:08:420:08:44

You've answered all four statements. How did that feel?

0:08:440:08:47

Well, I'm not sure about the Amalfi Coast.

0:08:470:08:49

I'm not good on geography so it's just a guess.

0:08:490:08:52

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

0:08:520:08:55

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements with Alan's answers.

0:08:550:08:59

Gavin, has he achieved perfection?

0:08:590:09:01

B, I'm not 100% sure about that.

0:09:010:09:05

-Kassa's nodding away. You agree with Gavin?

-Yes.

0:09:050:09:08

Interesting. Alan, the moment of truth. Let's see how many are correct.

0:09:080:09:12

Three out of four's better than the first round!

0:09:180:09:20

But not quite perfection. As a result, you've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

0:09:200:09:25

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round? You need to change one of Alan's answers.

0:09:250:09:29

-But which one?

-I think it's B, a rood.

-Yeah.

-OK.

-It is a crucifix.

0:09:290:09:34

B is probably true, not false.

0:09:340:09:36

B changes from false to true,

0:09:360:09:38

leaving A, C and D as answered by Alan.

0:09:380:09:41

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

0:09:410:09:45

It is false. Absolutely right.

0:09:500:09:52

He was in the army.

0:09:520:09:54

True.

0:09:590:10:01

You know where this is going.

0:10:010:10:02

False. It is, of course, in Italy.

0:10:070:10:09

And finally...

0:10:090:10:11

He was born in Blenheim Palace.

0:10:160:10:19

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

0:10:190:10:22

APPLAUSE

0:10:220:10:24

Alan, Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed. They've stolen the round.

0:10:270:10:30

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity of making Alan's chances of winning the prize fund

0:10:300:10:35

of £11,000 that much harder. Let's look at the final board.

0:10:350:10:38

Two subject categories already chosen by you.

0:10:380:10:41

Because you won that round, you get to choose the next categories.

0:10:410:10:44

-Which two would you like?

-I don't know. What about Sci-fi Films?

0:10:440:10:48

Obscure enough, isn't it?

0:10:480:10:49

The first one, we'll try for Sci-fi Films, please, Nick.

0:10:490:10:52

Sci-fi Films goes in. And? One more.

0:10:520:10:56

The Gurkhas? Or Airports?

0:10:560:10:58

-Airports.

-Airports.

0:10:580:11:00

Airports, I think, please, Nick.

0:11:000:11:02

Airports goes in as well.

0:11:020:11:05

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. We'll see you in Round Three. Cheerio.

0:11:050:11:09

And away they go.

0:11:090:11:11

-They did you a favour there!

-Sure!

0:11:110:11:13

-Sci-fi Films they chose for you. Airports, well...

-You never know.

0:11:130:11:17

The way to control things is to get perfection.

0:11:170:11:19

-Fingers crossed!

-It can only be all four in this round, can't it?

0:11:190:11:22

Let's find out. Let's play Round Three.

0:11:220:11:25

Your 45 seconds starts now.

0:11:270:11:29

Ooh. I can see it. I'll say true.

0:11:340:11:38

True.

0:11:380:11:40

I think it's some kind of imaginary beast,

0:11:460:11:48

-so I'll say false.

-False.

0:11:480:11:50

I think that's one of his famous paintings

0:11:540:11:56

about him diving into a hotel pool.

0:11:560:11:59

-So true.

-True.

0:11:590:12:01

I'm going to say that's true

0:12:050:12:07

because I think Ricky Gervais made a joke about it. True.

0:12:070:12:10

True.

0:12:100:12:11

-You've answered the statements. How does it feel?

-I'm worried about Mary Poppins. I wasn't sure

0:12:130:12:17

-that it won Best Picture.

-You never know.

0:12:170:12:19

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

0:12:190:12:22

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

0:12:220:12:26

Kassa, has he achieved perfection?

0:12:260:12:29

-I disagree with D.

-OK.

0:12:290:12:31

-Andrew?

-Yes, I'm a bit perplexed about D.

0:12:310:12:34

And also A. I'm not sure Mary Poppins won a Best Picture Oscar.

0:12:340:12:39

Gavin, are you a fan of Mary Poppins?

0:12:390:12:41

I don't think it did win Best Picture Oscar.

0:12:410:12:43

I think that year was My Fair Lady.

0:12:430:12:45

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

0:12:450:12:51

Let's find out how many are correct.

0:12:510:12:53

Three out of four again.

0:12:590:13:01

Not perfection. As a result, here come the Usual Suspects.

0:13:010:13:05

Can you steal the round? Alan's answers are there.

0:13:050:13:07

-You need to change one of them. Which one?

-It's A.

0:13:070:13:11

-You think it's A?

-Pretty sure it was My Fair Lady.

0:13:110:13:14

We'll go with changing A from true to false.

0:13:140:13:18

A changes from true to false,

0:13:180:13:20

leaving B, C and D as answered by Alan.

0:13:200:13:23

Let's find out. The correct answers are...

0:13:230:13:26

It won five, including Best Actress for Julie Andrews,

0:13:350:13:39

but guess which one won Best Picture that year?

0:13:390:13:42

My Fair Lady, exactly as Gavin said. Very well done, Gavin.

0:13:420:13:45

In actual fact, it is a mythical monster.

0:13:510:13:54

A Bigger Splash is a painting by David Hockney. True or false?

0:13:540:13:57

You know where this is going. Looks like you've won again.

0:14:000:14:03

Congratulations. You have achieved perfection, Usual Suspects.

0:14:080:14:11

They've done it again, Alan. They've turned you over

0:14:160:14:19

and have stolen the round.

0:14:190:14:21

Usual Suspects, you can now make Alan's chances of winning the prize fund

0:14:210:14:24

about as hard as it can be.

0:14:240:14:26

Let's see the final board.

0:14:260:14:28

Four categories all chosen by the Usual Suspects.

0:14:280:14:31

Two more choices for you because you won the last round.

0:14:310:14:34

What would you like him to play in the final?

0:14:340:14:36

-TV Cops?

-I think TV Cops. Happy with TV Cops?

-Yes.

0:14:360:14:41

-TV Cops.

-TV Cops goes into the final.

0:14:410:14:43

-And?

-I wonder what Crafts could be about?

0:14:430:14:46

-Yeah, we could go for that. It's fairly obscure.

-Yeah.

0:14:460:14:49

The last one would be Crafts, please.

0:14:490:14:50

Crafts goes into the final.

0:14:500:14:53

We now know our six final categories.

0:14:530:14:55

Very well played, Usual Suspects. All three rounds to you.

0:15:010:15:04

Time to switch you off for the final time.

0:15:040:15:06

And away they go. It's a mixed bag, isn't it?

0:15:060:15:09

Probably three out of six, if I'm honest.

0:15:090:15:11

Is that what you're expecting? Fifty-fifty?

0:15:110:15:14

You never know. £11,000 to play for. It's well worth having a go.

0:15:140:15:18

It's time to play the final.

0:15:180:15:20

Alan, this is the all-important final.

0:15:220:15:24

If you can achieve perfection, you could leave with £11,000.

0:15:240:15:28

If you fail, you leave with nothing. Which would be great news for the shadowy Usual Suspects,

0:15:280:15:34

as one of them could be playing for a roll-over of £12,000 on the next game.

0:15:340:15:38

So, let's play the final round.

0:15:380:15:40

Here are your final six categories.

0:15:440:15:46

You must answer all statements correctly to win the £11,000.

0:15:510:15:54

Think carefully. There's no time limit,

0:15:540:15:57

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

0:15:570:16:01

-Understand?

-Yes.

-Ready?

-I'm ready.

0:16:010:16:03

Let's reveal your first statement. Tell me whether you believe it to be true or false. ABBA.

0:16:030:16:09

I think Dancing Queen was in the mid-'70s.

0:16:140:16:18

I think they had more number one singles after that date.

0:16:180:16:23

-So I'm going to go with false.

-False.

0:16:230:16:27

Ologies.

0:16:290:16:31

Well, I think I remember seeing a documentary about it.

0:16:350:16:39

I think the people who rang the bells were referred to as campanologists.

0:16:390:16:44

So I would have to say that's true.

0:16:440:16:47

True.

0:16:470:16:49

Sci-fi Films.

0:16:500:16:51

Well, 2001: Space is one of the most boring science fiction films that's ever been made.

0:16:580:17:05

But I do remember that HAL was the computer in the film.

0:17:050:17:08

So I'd have to say true.

0:17:080:17:10

True.

0:17:100:17:11

Airports.

0:17:120:17:14

That I'm not sure.

0:17:200:17:22

I've never heard that statistic.

0:17:220:17:26

I'm going to say...true.

0:17:260:17:30

True.

0:17:300:17:31

TV Cops.

0:17:320:17:34

I think, casting my mind back to the '70s when I actually saw Kojak,

0:17:390:17:45

I think his name... I think it was Theo.

0:17:450:17:49

So I'm going to say false.

0:17:490:17:50

False.

0:17:500:17:52

And finally, Crafts.

0:17:530:17:55

I remember macrame from my childhood.

0:18:000:18:05

I think it was twisted threads together

0:18:050:18:07

to make whatever it is macrame makes.

0:18:070:18:11

So I will say true.

0:18:110:18:14

True. And you've answered all six statements.

0:18:140:18:18

Your answers are locked in. If there's one single mistake,

0:18:180:18:21

-you leave with nothing. Which ones are you worried about?

-The only one I would have any reservation about

0:18:210:18:28

is Heathrow's runways. Possibly there's a smaller runway there

0:18:280:18:31

that maybe they use for smaller aircraft.

0:18:310:18:34

-So that's the only one I would have worries about.

-OK. Let's bring back the Usual Suspects

0:18:340:18:39

and see what they have to say.

0:18:390:18:41

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

0:18:410:18:43

and next to them, Alan's answers.

0:18:430:18:45

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

0:18:450:18:48

But if you think you've made a mistake, you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects.

0:18:480:18:52

This will, however, come at a cost.

0:18:520:18:55

Usual Suspects, I'm going to ask you how well you think Alan has done,

0:18:550:18:59

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

0:18:590:19:01

Alan, who would you like to hear from first?

0:19:010:19:03

There's certainly one of the questions that I believe you've got wrong.

0:19:030:19:09

I might be tempted to come down to give you a hand

0:19:090:19:13

for 7,000 of the 11.

0:19:130:19:16

-Do you want to hear from anybody else?

-Kassa.

0:19:160:19:18

I don't believe you've achieved perfection.

0:19:180:19:20

I'd say two I'd change.

0:19:200:19:23

But I'm not confident to come down, so I'm ruling myself out.

0:19:230:19:26

-Kassa's ruled herself out. So?

-Gavin.

0:19:260:19:30

I think you've got one wrong

0:19:300:19:31

and I'll come down and help you out for £8,000.

0:19:310:19:35

£8,000! Even more.

0:19:350:19:36

Do you want to negotiate? What do you want to do?

0:19:360:19:38

-I think there's some bluffing going on there, Nick!

-Do you?

0:19:380:19:41

So I'm just going to stick with what I've got on the board.

0:19:410:19:45

Negotiations are over. Thanks very much, Usual Suspects.

0:19:450:19:49

Alan, you've decided to go it alone.

0:19:490:19:50

£11,000 at stake. Six answers away.

0:19:500:19:53

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

0:19:530:19:57

-Fair to say that D is the one you're most worried about.

-Yes.

0:20:000:20:03

As it doesn't matter any more, Andrew, you said there was one wrong. Which was it?

0:20:030:20:07

I'm pretty sure that he's wrong with D as well.

0:20:070:20:09

-You think D's wrong?

-Yeah.

-Gavin, what do you think?

0:20:090:20:12

Yeah. D.

0:20:120:20:14

They all think D is the one that you might have lost it on.

0:20:140:20:16

If the statement turns green, it's true.

0:20:160:20:18

If it turns red, it's false. Let's start at the top.

0:20:180:20:20

You said you think that's false. They've had others after.

0:20:240:20:28

We need this to turn red to set you on your way towards the £11,000.

0:20:280:20:33

Is it true or false?

0:20:330:20:35

It is false.

0:20:360:20:38

-Super Trouper in 1980.

-I thought that was the one. Super Trouper.

0:20:400:20:44

Let's move on. Campanology is the study of bells and bell ringing.

0:20:440:20:47

-You said you'd heard of somebody referred to as a campanologist.

-Yes.

0:20:470:20:51

So you said true. We need this to turn green

0:20:510:20:54

to get you one-third of the way towards the £11,000.

0:20:540:20:58

So, is it true or false?

0:20:580:21:00

Moving on. HAL is the computer in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

0:21:040:21:08

-You said it was one of the most boring films ever.

-Yes.

0:21:080:21:10

But you do remember HAL being the computer. So you said true.

0:21:100:21:13

If it is true, you're halfway to the £11,000.

0:21:130:21:16

Is it true or false?

0:21:160:21:19

It is true.

0:21:210:21:23

Ahead of us is D, the one we're most worried about.

0:21:240:21:26

Before we get to it, let's talk about what £11,000 would mean to you at this stage.

0:21:260:21:30

-It's a lot of money, isn't it?

-Yes.

0:21:300:21:32

If I'd any money left over from my holiday to Australia,

0:21:320:21:35

I'd put a down-payment on a new car.

0:21:350:21:37

-Better than the rust bucket I've got now!

-It's a bit of a nail you're driving around is it?

0:21:370:21:42

That's something of a change in lifestyle for you, then.

0:21:420:21:44

-Yes, for a change.

-It would be nice if it comes your way.

0:21:440:21:48

So the big one that we're all worried about is next.

0:21:480:21:50

-So let's hop over it and go on to E.

-I'm nervous now!

0:21:500:21:54

Yeah. Kojak's first name was Franklin.

0:21:540:21:56

You were fairly sure, looking back through the mists of time, that you thought he was Theo.

0:21:560:22:01

I thought it was Theo Kojak.

0:22:010:22:02

So you said false. We want this to turn red for you to keep you on track.

0:22:020:22:07

Is it true or false?

0:22:070:22:09

It is false.

0:22:100:22:12

And it was Theo. "Who loves ya, baby?", he used to say.

0:22:130:22:17

-You did a bit of this at school?

-Yes. Some kind of craftwork we did then.

0:22:210:22:25

If you're right, you're only one away from the £11,000

0:22:250:22:29

and it becomes very, very real.

0:22:290:22:31

We need this to turn green if you're correct.

0:22:310:22:34

APPLAUSE

0:22:420:22:45

Good.

0:22:450:22:46

This is where we get to find out whether you should have done a deal

0:22:460:22:51

with Gavin or Andrew.

0:22:510:22:53

I wonder whether you'll regret going it alone

0:22:530:22:55

or whether you were right

0:22:550:22:57

and you're going to walk out of here with £11,000.

0:22:570:23:01

Whether you're going to be taking your family to Australia

0:23:010:23:04

and replacing your knackered old car with something a bit nicer.

0:23:040:23:08

It all rests on this one statement and answer.

0:23:080:23:12

So. Each of Heathrow's runways are over two miles long.

0:23:120:23:17

You had a good long think about that

0:23:170:23:19

and decided that was true.

0:23:190:23:21

Although, fair to say, it's worrying you

0:23:210:23:24

-because you think there might be one long, one short.

-Yes.

0:23:240:23:27

For smaller aircraft.

0:23:270:23:28

If it is true, it will turn green

0:23:280:23:32

and you'll leave here with £11,000.

0:23:320:23:35

If you're wrong, it will turn red

0:23:360:23:39

and you'll have lost the money and leave with nothing

0:23:390:23:42

and the money will roll over for the Usual Suspects.

0:23:420:23:45

So, let's find out.

0:23:450:23:47

Each of Heathrow's runways are over two miles long.

0:23:470:23:51

Is that true or false

0:23:510:23:54

for £11,000.

0:23:540:23:58

It's true! Congratulations, Alan,

0:24:160:24:19

you have achieved perfection and won £11,000!

0:24:190:24:23

APPLAUSE

0:24:230:24:26

Listen, congratulations! That's absolutely fantastic news.

0:24:330:24:36

£11,000! All by yourself!

0:24:360:24:39

-I'll have to be good to my family now!

-Oh, yeah.

0:24:390:24:42

£11,000.

0:24:420:24:44

You're obviously slightly in shock!

0:24:460:24:48

Unfortunately for you, Usual Suspects, the prize fund has been won.

0:24:480:24:51

So we re-set the total back to £1,000

0:24:510:24:53

for our next game.

0:24:530:24:55

Congratulations, Alan, you have achieved perfection,

0:24:550:24:58

and as a result, you leave with £11,000.

0:24:580:25:03

Alan, ladies and gentlemen.

0:25:030:25:05

Wow, that was exciting! It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect hoping to play Perfection today.

0:25:080:25:15

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

0:25:170:25:19

Hello, I'm Pat. I'm from Derbyshire and I'm retired.

0:25:190:25:23

OK. Welcome to the show. Best of luck as we now find out

0:25:230:25:25

which of you has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

0:25:250:25:28

Gavin, it's you! Please come and play Perfection.

0:25:310:25:35

-Gavin, welcome to the game. We've already discovered you worked as a journalist.

-Yes.

0:25:380:25:43

If you could meet anyone, as a journalist,

0:25:430:25:45

an interesting question, if you could spend the day with anyone, who would you spend time with?

0:25:450:25:49

I think Stephen Hawking would be quite interesting

0:25:490:25:52

because obviously the guy's an absolute genius

0:25:520:25:55

and he's got insights into things nobody else could ever contemplate.

0:25:550:25:59

So probably Stephen Hawking, yes.

0:25:590:26:01

So you're a bit of a...sort of g... Quiet scientist on the quiet?

0:26:010:26:04

-Geek, you were about to say?

-I was about to say that, but let's go with it!

0:26:040:26:08

Yes, I'm interested in all that sort of thing.

0:26:080:26:10

Gavin, welcome to the show. It's you versus the Usual Suspects.

0:26:100:26:13

They were your team-mates. Now they're your enemies.

0:26:130:26:16

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

0:26:160:26:19

Unfortunately for you, the previous game was won,

0:26:190:26:22

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

0:26:220:26:25

£1,000 comes in handy at any stage, doesn't it?

0:26:270:26:29

-Especially these days, yes.

-Three rounds and a final to come.

0:26:290:26:32

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

0:26:320:26:36

But as soon as Gavin makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game. Away they go.

0:26:360:26:40

-So, are you ready?

-I'm ready, yes.

-Let's get started.

0:26:400:26:43

Let's play Perfection.

0:26:430:26:44

Round One. Your 45 seconds starts now.

0:26:470:26:50

-Yes, that's true.

-True.

0:26:540:26:57

-False.

-False.

0:27:010:27:03

-False.

-False.

0:27:090:27:11

-True.

-True.

0:27:170:27:19

With plenty of time to spare, you've answered all four statements.

0:27:190:27:22

-You seem fairly confident.

-Fairly confident, yeah.

-OK.

0:27:220:27:25

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

0:27:250:27:28

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements, with Gavin's answers.

0:27:280:27:33

Andrew, has he achieved perfection?

0:27:330:27:36

I don't think that A is correct. I think Stonehenge is either in Wiltshire or Hampshire.

0:27:360:27:41

-Kassa, what do you think?

-I'm disputing A and D. Not sure.

0:27:410:27:45

A and D might be wrong.

0:27:450:27:47

Pat, has he got them all right?

0:27:470:27:49

-I don't think so. I'm not sure about C.

-C?

0:27:490:27:52

Interesting. A mixed bag there from the Usual Suspects.

0:27:520:27:55

Gavin, the moment of truth. You need to have answered all four perfectly

0:27:550:27:59

to have won the round. How many are correct?

0:27:590:28:01

Three out of four is not bad, but it means you have let the Usual Suspects into the game.

0:28:070:28:13

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round? You need to change one of Gavin's answers.

0:28:130:28:17

But which one?

0:28:170:28:19

D is correct. A lot of opals are from Australia.

0:28:190:28:23

So it's A or C.

0:28:230:28:25

-My instinct is...

-A.

-A.

-A.

0:28:250:28:28

We'll go with A, then.

0:28:280:28:30

We're going to change A from true to false, please.

0:28:300:28:33

A changes from true to false,

0:28:330:28:34

leaving B, C and D as answered by Gavin.

0:28:340:28:36

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

0:28:360:28:39

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

0:28:390:28:43

It is false. It's in Wiltshire.

0:28:470:28:49

And now you know where this is going.

0:28:490:28:52

It's a joint of meat.

0:28:560:28:58

A sheep shank is the one that's a knot.

0:28:580:29:00

Tom Jones is the famous Welsh singer's real name. True or false?

0:29:000:29:04

It is false. Very well done.

0:29:050:29:08

Thomas John Woodward, originally.

0:29:080:29:10

It's interesting that he's one of the few people in Wales that isn't called Jones

0:29:100:29:14

and he changed his name to it! There you go!

0:29:140:29:16

True. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

0:29:210:29:23

You have achieved perfection.

0:29:230:29:25

Gavin, they succeeded where you failed and have stolen the round.

0:29:290:29:32

Usual Suspects, you can now make Gavin's chances of winning the prize fund much harder.

0:29:320:29:37

And here's how.

0:29:370:29:39

These six blank spaces are your final board.

0:29:400:29:43

They need to be filled with subject categories. Here they are now.

0:29:430:29:48

As the Usual Suspects stole the round,

0:29:520:29:54

they choose the two categories hoping to make the final harder for you to win.

0:29:540:29:57

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

0:29:570:30:01

How about Freemasons?

0:30:010:30:03

-Gavin's got a good general knowledge. It's got to be something different.

-Obscure.

0:30:030:30:10

TV Sitcoms might be quite good.

0:30:100:30:11

-TV Sitcoms, please.

-Sitcoms goes across.

0:30:110:30:14

And?

0:30:140:30:15

-Freemasons.

-Freemasons.

-And Freemasons, please.

0:30:150:30:18

And Freemasons.

0:30:180:30:20

Well done, Usual Suspects.

0:30:200:30:22

You've won the first round. We'll see you in Round Two.

0:30:220:30:25

-TV Sitcoms?

-I don't know. I'll probably do OK, I suppose. I'm not sure.

0:30:270:30:31

-Know anything about Freemasons?

-Probably not a lot.

-They did well to choose that.

0:30:310:30:37

Looking at the list, which ones would you choose if you get the opportunity?

0:30:370:30:40

Maths. Decimal Coinage.

0:30:400:30:44

And which do you want to avoid?

0:30:440:30:45

Pets, I would imagine.

0:30:450:30:47

OK, Gavin, it's only the first round.

0:30:470:30:49

You still have two more rounds to find perfection and choose your own categories.

0:30:490:30:53

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

0:30:530:30:55

Your 45 seconds start now.

0:30:580:31:01

-False

-False.

0:31:090:31:11

-False.

-False.

0:31:180:31:19

-False.

-False.

0:31:250:31:27

-False.

-False.

0:31:310:31:33

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

0:31:330:31:35

Happy?

0:31:350:31:37

Probably not, no.

0:31:380:31:39

On reflection, I think A might be wrong.

0:31:390:31:42

-The rest you're happy with?

-Yeah.

0:31:420:31:45

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

0:31:450:31:48

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements.

0:31:480:31:51

Next to them are Gavin's answers. Pat, has he achieved perfection?

0:31:510:31:54

The only one I wouldn't be sure of, and that's only slightly,

0:31:540:31:58

-is A.

-Kassa, what do you think?

0:31:580:32:00

He's done pretty well. I'm not sure of B.

0:32:000:32:03

Andrew, four out of four? Or not quite there?

0:32:030:32:07

It's possible potassium might be a metal cos it's very heavy.

0:32:070:32:10

And William Pitt the Elder might have been the first PM.

0:32:100:32:13

-So he might have got a couple wrong.

-The moment of truth. Let's see how many are correct.

0:32:130:32:18

Three out of four is pretty good,

0:32:240:32:26

but it's not perfection. So the Usual Suspects are back in the game.

0:32:260:32:31

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

0:32:310:32:33

You can see Gavin's answers. You need to change just one.

0:32:330:32:36

But which one will it be?

0:32:360:32:38

My instinct is for B.

0:32:380:32:40

We'll go with your instinct again.

0:32:400:32:43

-Definitely C and D are right.

-Yeah.

0:32:430:32:46

We'll narrow it down to B being changed from false to true, please.

0:32:460:32:50

B changes from false to true,

0:32:500:32:52

leaving A, C and D as answered by Gavin.

0:32:520:32:57

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

0:32:570:32:59

You've blown it, Usual Suspects. You had the chance to steal the round

0:33:050:33:08

but you failed to achieve perfection. Can you achieve perfection at home?

0:33:080:33:12

Let's carry on through those statements and see how well you've done.

0:33:120:33:15

Robert Walpole generally regarded as the first prime minister.

0:33:220:33:26

James Cameron directed Jurassic Park. True or false?

0:33:260:33:29

That is, of course, false. Steven Spielberg.

0:33:300:33:33

It is, in fact, in the Vatican City, in Rome.

0:33:400:33:43

Well, Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection,

0:33:430:33:46

you'd now have the opportunity of making Gavin's chances of winning the prize fund much harder.

0:33:460:33:50

Let's see the final board.

0:33:500:33:52

Two categories on there, chosen by the Usual Suspects.

0:33:520:33:55

But as neither side won Round Two,

0:33:550:33:58

both categories that were due to be chosen will now be carried over to the last round

0:33:580:34:03

meaning four categories will be on offer in Round Three.

0:34:030:34:06

Usual Suspects, I'll switch you off. See you in a little while.

0:34:060:34:09

Away they go. So, Gavin,

0:34:090:34:12

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

0:34:120:34:15

-Ready to play?

-Yeah.

-Let's play Round Three.

0:34:150:34:19

Your 45 seconds start now.

0:34:210:34:23

Well, I'm not too sure about that one at all.

0:34:290:34:32

So that would have to be a guess and I'd have to say yes.

0:34:320:34:36

-True.

-True.

0:34:360:34:37

He was the discoverer of the Magellan Straits.

0:34:440:34:46

-Yeah. I would say true.

-True.

0:34:460:34:49

-I would say false for that one. A guess again.

-False.

0:34:540:34:59

-True.

-True.

0:35:020:35:03

Used a little more time, there. Are you happy with that?

0:35:050:35:07

-50/50, I would say, yeah.

-All right.

0:35:070:35:10

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

0:35:100:35:13

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

0:35:130:35:17

Kassa, has he achieved perfection this time?

0:35:170:35:20

I would definitely turn A from true to false.

0:35:200:35:23

-Pat, what do you think?

-C I would change. It is a breed of horse.

0:35:230:35:27

And something in the back of my mind says Magellan was Portuguese.

0:35:270:35:31

-Andrew?

-I agree on changing B because I think Magellan was either Portuguese or even Dutch.

0:35:310:35:38

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

0:35:380:35:43

Let's see how many are correct.

0:35:430:35:45

Just one out of four.

0:35:480:35:50

As a result, the Usual Suspects are back in the game.

0:35:500:35:54

Can you steal the round? You need to change three of Gavin's answers.

0:35:540:35:57

-Which three?

-We know that Brighton Rock is Graham Greene. Yes.

0:35:570:36:01

We're going to change A from true to false.

0:36:010:36:04

-A from true to false.

-B from true to false.

-B from true to false.

0:36:040:36:07

And C from false to true.

0:36:070:36:09

C from false to true, leaving D as answered by Gavin.

0:36:090:36:12

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

0:36:120:36:15

Born To Die is a hit album by David Guetta.

0:36:150:36:19

Is that true or false?

0:36:190:36:21

It is false. Kassa, you were absolutely sure of that.

0:36:210:36:25

-It's Lana Del Ray.

-There you go.

0:36:250:36:27

The explorer Ferdinand Magellan was Spanish. True or false?

0:36:270:36:33

It is false. Portuguese, as Pat said. Absolutely right.

0:36:340:36:38

A Suffolk Punch is a breed of horse. True or false?

0:36:380:36:41

Yes, Pat, you were right about that, too. True.

0:36:420:36:45

Finally, Brighton Rock was written by Graham Greene. True or false?

0:36:450:36:48

Everybody knew this one. It's true.

0:36:480:36:51

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

0:36:510:36:55

Gavin, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed and have stolen the round.

0:36:580:37:03

Usual Suspects, you have the opportunity of making Gavin's chances of winning the prize fund

0:37:030:37:08

about as hard as it can be. Let's see the final board.

0:37:080:37:11

Two categories on there chosen by you, the Usual Suspects,

0:37:110:37:14

and because you won that round, you have the right to choose four categories,

0:37:140:37:18

two taken over from last round, and the two from that round.

0:37:180:37:21

So, which four would you like?

0:37:210:37:23

-Shall we go for one each and then agree on another one?

-Yes.

0:37:230:37:27

I think I'll have Hitchcock, please.

0:37:270:37:28

Hitchcock goes into the final.

0:37:280:37:30

-I'll go for cocktails.

-Cocktails.

0:37:300:37:33

-Andrew?

-I think I'll go nicknames.

0:37:350:37:38

Nicknames. And you need to decide on one final one.

0:37:380:37:42

Instruments? Transport?

0:37:420:37:44

-Instruments.

-Yes.

-Happy with that?

0:37:440:37:47

Instruments, please, Nick.

0:37:470:37:48

Last one is instruments. We now know our six final categories.

0:37:480:37:51

Thank you, Usual Suspects. Very well played.

0:37:570:37:59

We'll switch you off for now and see you later.

0:37:590:38:01

And away they go.

0:38:010:38:03

What do you make of those four?

0:38:030:38:05

They could be anything, really, so I'll just take them as they come.

0:38:050:38:08

-Haven't done you any favours?

-Not really, no.

0:38:080:38:10

I wouldn't expect them to!

0:38:100:38:12

No. Gavin, for £1,000, it's time to play the final.

0:38:120:38:16

Gavin, this is the all-important final round.

0:38:180:38:20

If you achieve perfection, you could leave with a prize fund of £1,000.

0:38:200:38:24

If you fail, you leave with nothing,

0:38:240:38:25

which is great news for the Usual Suspects as one of them could play for a rollover of £2,000

0:38:250:38:30

on the next game. So, let's play the final round.

0:38:300:38:33

Gavin, here are your final six categories.

0:38:360:38:39

You must answer all six correctly if you want to win the £1,000.

0:38:430:38:47

There's no time limit, but once you've given an answer,

0:38:470:38:49

-your first answer, it's locked in. Are you ready?

-Yes.

0:38:490:38:53

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

0:38:530:38:57

TV Sitcoms.

0:38:570:38:58

-False.

-False.

0:39:030:39:05

Freemasons.

0:39:060:39:08

-I'm not too sure. I think that's true.

-True.

0:39:160:39:20

Hitchcock.

0:39:200:39:22

-I think that's true, yes.

-True.

0:39:260:39:29

Cocktails.

0:39:300:39:32

-True.

-True.

0:39:360:39:38

Nicknames.

0:39:380:39:40

Well...

0:39:460:39:48

He's something of love. I'm not sure whether it's a walrus or not.

0:39:480:39:51

-Probably false.

-False.

0:39:510:39:54

Finally, instruments.

0:39:550:39:57

I would say that was...false.

0:40:050:40:08

False.

0:40:080:40:10

And with that, your six answers are locked in.

0:40:100:40:13

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

0:40:130:40:17

I would think B.

0:40:170:40:19

I don't know a lot about freemasonry.

0:40:190:40:21

But it seems a daft enough name for a freemason.

0:40:210:40:25

Let's switch on the Usual Suspects.

0:40:250:40:26

Usual Suspects, you can see the final six statements with Gavin's answers.

0:40:280:40:32

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

0:40:320:40:35

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

0:40:350:40:39

This will, however, come at a cost.

0:40:390:40:42

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

-Pat, first.

0:40:420:40:45

I think you've done pretty well. There are one or two I'm not sure of.

0:40:450:40:49

But I'm not prepared to come and help you.

0:40:490:40:51

-Kass?

-I'm definitely not sure of one.

0:40:510:40:55

But I'm ruling myself out. Sorry.

0:40:550:40:58

-Andrew?

-There might be one that I might be changing.

0:40:580:41:02

But like Kassa, I'll rule myself out of helping you on this occasion.

0:41:020:41:06

The negotiations are over.

0:41:060:41:09

You have to play on your own. £1,000 at stake.

0:41:090:41:12

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

0:41:120:41:16

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

0:41:160:41:22

-Which one are you worried about?

-I don't know.

0:41:220:41:25

-Shall we just go through it?

-Yes, just go for it.

0:41:250:41:27

OK.

0:41:270:41:29

You were very quick to say false on this.

0:41:320:41:34

I think his monkey is called Marcel.

0:41:340:41:36

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

0:41:360:41:39

It's false. And the monkey was called Marcel. Very good.

0:41:390:41:44

Grand Wizard is the highest rank of freemasonry. This one you were worried about.

0:41:450:41:48

You said you didn't know a great deal about freemasonry,

0:41:480:41:51

but it sounded daft enough to be true.

0:41:510:41:53

We need this to turn green to keep you on the way to the £1,000.

0:41:530:41:57

Is it true or is it false?

0:41:570:42:00

I'm afraid it's false.

0:42:020:42:04

Grand Master.

0:42:040:42:06

Grand Poobah, I was thinking!

0:42:060:42:08

Grand Master is what you were looking for.

0:42:090:42:11

So you've failed to achieve perfection and you won't be going home with £1,000.

0:42:110:42:15

-You had a feeling that was the way it was going.

-Yes.

0:42:150:42:18

Maybe you can achieve perfection at home.

0:42:180:42:20

Let's go through the statements and answers.

0:42:200:42:22

It is true. Well done.

0:42:280:42:30

I'd barely got the question out when you said true.

0:42:340:42:36

-You've had the odd Mojito?

-Yeah!

0:42:360:42:38

It is false. Barry White.

0:42:470:42:50

-He was "the walrus of love".

-Yes.

0:42:500:42:52

Yes, in actual fact it is true.

0:42:570:43:00

So in the end, it was four out of six. Pretty good,

0:43:000:43:03

but not perfection. So you don't go home with the cash.

0:43:030:43:06

Usual Suspects, that's good news for you. The prize fund rolls over to the next game

0:43:060:43:09

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

0:43:090:43:13

APPLAUSE

0:43:130:43:16

Gavin, you failed to achieve perfection, so you leave with nothing,

0:43:160:43:19

other than our thanks for playing the game. Enjoy yourself?

0:43:190:43:21

-Yes, I did.

-Smashing. Thanks very much, Gavin.

0:43:210:43:23

Let's hear it for Gavin, everybody.

0:43:230:43:26

Please join us next time when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play this time for £2,000.

0:43:270:43:33

But remember, on this show, we only pay for perfection. Goodbye!
