Episode 16 Perfection

Welcome to the show that demands nothing less than perfection.

Four contestants are hoping their knowledge is flawless.

One single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Hello, and welcome to Perfection, the quiz where only perfect play is good enough.

Behind me are the contestants, the Usual Suspects, in our isolation room.

In a moment, we'll find out who has been randomly selected to join me to play Perfection.

They will face a series of true or false statements. For example...

..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 a contestant gets an answer wrong,

the usual suspects will be allowed to capitalise on their mistake.

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

My name's Mitch. I'm from Bedfordshire.

I'm a premises manager at a college in Luton. This is my first game.

I'm Pat. I live in Derbyshire. I'm retired and this is my second game.

I'm Kassa. I'm from London. I'm a student and this is my fourth game.

I'm Andrew. I'm from Orpington in Kent. I'm a hotel manager by trade, and this is my fifth game.

Welcome to all of you. Best of luck, as we find out who has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Mitch, straight in. Come and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Mitch, welcome to the game. You're a bit of a practical joker.

-I am a little bit of a practical joker.

-On the family or people outside the family?

Mainly people outside the family, really.

-Life wouldn't be worth living at home, would it?

-No, the wife keeps me in check.

-What's this about you phoning up saying the Water Board had cut off the water?

-Yeah.

A friend who fosters children, I played a practical joke on her

to say I was from Anglia Water - or Thames Water.

That we understand that she fosters children and we're going to be cutting the water off,

so we suggest that she gets every receptacle and fills it with water.

I went round there an hour later and everything was full up -

the bath, saucepans, eggcups!

When she found out it was a practical joke, I beat Usain Bolt out the door, believe me!

-She chased you out the door! Nice!

-LAUGHTER

OK, Mitch, it's you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

Their job is to stop you from winning the prize fund so it rolls over to the next game,

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

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

Nobody won the last game, so the prize fund stands at £2,000.

APPLAUSE

We'll play three rounds and then a final.

Every round you achieve perfection will make the final easier.

If your performance is less than perfect,

the usual suspects have the chance to steal the round, making the final harder for you.

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

Away they go. Each round consists of four true or false statements.

You'll be answering against the clock - 45 seconds.

Once you give me an answer, your first answer will be locked in.

-Happy?

-I am happy.

-Shall we get on with it?

-Let's go.

-Let's play Perfection.

-APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now...

They're so heavy, I don't think they'll get off the ground.

So I think that's false.

I've never heard that name. I know Mark Cavendish and Wiggins.

I think that's false.

Something's telling me that that's true.

I think that's true.

I can believe she'd write something like that. I think that's true.

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

-That felt like a good round for you. Am I right?

-Yeah. Not too bad.

B was a bit of a stumbler but, yeah, not bad.

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

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements and Mitch's answers.

-Pat, has he achieved perfection?

-I think he's done quite well.

The only one I don't know is Dean Macey. I've never heard of him.

-Kassa, have you heard of Dean Macey?

-I haven't. No.

-I agree with Pat. Yeah.

-That might be one that's wrong. Andrew?

He was a hept... Not heptathlete, decathlete,

-I think, Dean Macey.

-Lovely. Thank you very much.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

Congratulations, Mitch. You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

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

..Dean Macey is a World Champion cyclist. True or false...?

..Decathlete, as Andrew said.

Prince Harry's first name is Henry...

..It sounds like it could be her and that's because...

..As a result of that perfect performance, you make winning the prize fund a bit easier.

Here's how. This is your final board.

These six spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are your final round categories...

..Because you won the round, you've earned the right to choose two categories.

If the Usual Suspects had won the round, they would be adding two categories,

trying to make life harder for you.

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

-Human body.

-Human body goes across. And...?

-Film stars.

Usual Suspects, we'll see you in the next round.

Maybe you'll get a chance then. In the meantime, we'll switch you off.

Looking at those, which ones are you desperate to avoid?

Computing and paintings.

Computing and paintings, you don't want.

Which will be your next couple of choices, if you get the chance?

Next couple of choices would be... presidents, soaps, definitely.

Mitch, you made a great start to the game.

If you're ready, we'll see if we can continue that vibe.

-Let's play Round 2.

-APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now...

True.

For some reason, I think I remember her being in that. True.

False. I think it was the '60s.

I know he won a lot! Um...

I'd say true.

Again, with time to spare. You even had time to consider the last one.

You're flying along. Are you enjoying yourself?

Not quite sure on one there.

-Which one's bothering you?

-The Poland one.

-The Poland one.

-Yes.

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

These are the four statements and next to them, Mitch's answers.

-Andrew, has he achieved perfection?

-I don't think so, Nick.

I think he's got A wrong.

-Lovely. Kassa, what do you think?

-I'm not sure about B.

-You think that might be false?

-Yeah. I haven't seen it, though.

-I'm not sure.

-Pat?

-I'm not sure about D.

I don't know whether that's true or false.

Once again, the Usual Suspects aren't in agreement.

They do all believe that you might have got one wrong. Let's find out how many are correct.

Just two out of four.

That certainly isn't perfection and the Usual Suspects are into the game.

Can you steal the round? You see Mitch's answers.

You need to change two, but which two?

-I think C's right.

-I think C's right and I think B's right.

OK. I haven't seen the film.

I'm pretty sure Poland doesn't have a border with Austria, so A's wrong.

I'm pretty sure that Pete Sampras has more than 14.

-Or less than 14!

-Not 14. Yes. A and D, then?

A and D, yes.

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

And D from true to false.

Leaving B and C as answered by Mitch.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

Poland shares a border with Austria. Is that true or false...?

..Czech Republic and Slovakia, it borders with.

Megan Fox starred in the 2012 film Battleship.

Is that true or false?

It's false. Usual Suspects, you've blown it.

You had the chance to steal the round but, frankly, you haven't.

Brooklyn Decker and Rihanna played the female roles in Battleship.

I wonder whether you're still on for perfection. Let's go through the rest of the statements.

National Service ended in the '70s...

..In the '60s, as you said, Mitch...

..Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection,

you would have the opportunity to make Mitch's chance of winning the prize fund harder.

Let's look at the final board.

There are two subject categories already chosen by Mitch.

Because neither side won Round 2,

the categories will be carried over to the next round.

Four categories will be on offer in Round 3.

Usual Suspects, I'm going to switch you off for now. The report is, "Could do better!"

We'll see you in Round 3. Bye-bye. Away they go.

This next round is important, with four categories on offer.

-Are you ready?

-I am.

-Then let's play the next round.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now...

I'll say that's... false.

I believe that was...he was a Tory. False.

Er... I...!

False.

False.

With time to spare, you've answered all four categories,

one of which you'd like to change, but I have to take your first answer.

-Explain the one that bothered you.

-Harold Macmillan.

Yeah, I think he was a Labour...politician.

-A Labour politician?

-Thinking about it. Yeah.

You said he was a Tory,

-and then said it was false that he was a Conservative.

-Yeah.

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

Hello, Usual Suspects. These are the statements and Mitch's answers.

Kassa, has he achieved perfection?

I think he's done fairly well, but I think I might change A.

OK, Andrew, what do you think?

He's definitely got one wrong, possibly two.

I think that Jonathan Swift

did write Treasure Island.

I've a funny feeling that Macmillan might have been a Tory.

Pat, what do you think?

I'm sure Jonathan Swift didn't write Treasure Island.

That was Robert Louis Stevenson.

I think Harold Macmillan might have been a Conservative politician,

-and C is crazy enough to be true!

-LAUGHTER

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

Just one!

Certainly not perfection. Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You need to change three. Which three?

Pat was very quick to correct me, to say that Robert Louis Stevenson wrote Treasure Island.

-So we need to change A...B and C...?

-Yeah.

-..to true...

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

..It is true, as Kassa suspected.

Harold Macmillan was a Conservative politician, true or false?

That's true, as Pat and Andrew thought.

-To be fair, you got a bit mixed up on that one.

-I did.

Pierce Brosnan is a trained fire-eater.

Pat thought this might be daft enough to be true.

You know where this is going, Usual Suspects.

Jonathan Swift wrote Treasure Island.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Pat, you were right in saying it was Robert Louis Stevenson that wrote Treasure Island.

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

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Mitch's chances of winning the prize fund harder.

Let's see the final board.

Two subject categories already chosen by Mitch.

Because you won that round, you've earned the right to choose four categories -

two from this round and two from the previous round.

So, which four would you like Mitch to play in the final?

-Do you want to do one each?

-Yeah.

-Away you go, Pat.

-I think I'll go for Cleopatra.

-That's what I was going to go for!

-Cleopatra goes across,

in a semi-unanimous decision.

-Kassa?

-Plays.

-Plays goes across. Andrew?

I think Mitch is quite well read, so he'll know about Greek myths,

but he might not be up on soaps, so I'll try soaps.

Soaps goes into the final, and you need to pick one more between you.

-What do you reckon?

-Paintings?

-Dinosaurs? Golf? Yeah.

-He might play golf.

-He might.

-Paintings.

-Dinosaurs, then?

Or Dinosaurs. Either, or.

I think we'll go for...paintings.

Paintings go into the final. We now have our six final categories.

OK, guys. Time to switch you off. We'll see you later.

-And away they go. Soaps, they went for, and you would have chosen that.

-I would have.

Is that because you're a fan,

or because you've sat in the front room whilst the family watch?

I'm a mad EastEnders fan. Yeah.

-Paintings, you didn't want, did you?

-I didn't, but it's better than computing.

I suppose they could have picked that. Cleopatra and plays?

Yeah, well, I'm at the age where I've got a bit of experience with films and everything. Yeah.

-You might be in with a chance?

-Yeah.

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

APPLAUSE

Mitch, this is the all-important final. If you achieve perfection, you could be leaving with £2,000.

-Which would be nice.

-Would be nice.

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

as that money can roll over to the next game, where they'll be playing for £3,000.

So, let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Here are your final six categories.

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

Think carefully. There is no time limit.

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

-OK.

-You ready?

-Yes. Ready.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

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

I picked that as one of my categories.

I'm quite up on the human body and that is true.

Film stars...

..I actually think he's shorter than that. I think that's false.

Cleopatra...

..No, I think that's false.

-False?

-I do, yeah.

Plays...

..Believe it or not, I did have some of his records,

but I've never heard of that one. I think that's false.

Soaps...

..I watch a lot of EastEnders, and I believe that to be true.

And finally, paintings...

..I believe that to be true, too.

Mitch, those answers are locked in.

If there's one mistake, you leave with nothing.

-Are there any you're worried about?

-E, got it wrong.

-E? You think that's wrong now?

-I think that's wrong, yeah.

Would you like to explain why?

Yes, I think that Pete was Ian Beale's father.

-Does that mean that you're going to be looking to have someone help you out?

-Possibly.

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

-Be careful what YOU say, all right?

-No problem. Thanks.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and Mitch's answers.

Mitch, your answers are now locked in.

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

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

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

-Andrew.

I think you've done really well, Mitch.

I konw that you have at least one question wrong,

but at this stage I don't think it's worth me coming down to help you.

-So I'll rule myself out.

-Who would you like to hear from next?

-Kassa.

I'm unsure of one, as well, but I'm not sure enough to come down.

-So you're ruling yourself out for definite, Kassa?

-Yeah.

-OK.

-Pat?

-I'm also unsure of one, but I'm not prepared to come down.

I'd sooner wait for the money to roll over.

-It looks like you're on your own, I'm afraid, Mitch.

-Yeah.

The Usual Suspects are unwilling to help so, £2,000 at stake,

six answers away, let's find out if you've achieved perfection.

Just want to check. Pat, you thought he had one wrong. Which one?

-I'm not sure about D.

-Andrew, which one do you think's wrong?

I think E's wrong.

-Kassa, what do you think?

-It was D for me.

A mixture between D and E there. Right, let's start at the top...

-APPLAUSE

-..Well done.

I know because I broke both of mine and it hurts, let me tell you...

..You think he's shorter than 5 feet 6 inches.

Is it true or false?

-APPLAUSE

-He is, in fact, 5 feet tall...

APPLAUSE

..She committed suicide...

..Pat was unsure about this. Is that true or false?

APPLAUSE

..Arthur Miller, in fact, was the person who wrote it.

Here's the EastEnders one that you think you got wrong.

We'll skip that and go to the last one.

The Mona Lisa is housed in the Louvre in Paris. Is that true or false?

APPLAUSE

So what we're saying here is that, if you're right,

that you're wrong, you would have won this,

-if it hadn't been for jumping into an answer before thinking it through.

-Never live it down.

Let's find out...

..You wish you'd said false at this stage.

Is it true or false?

-It's false.

-Yeah.

-Pete Beale.

-Yeah. My family will never let me live that one down.

-I'm an addict.

-They're all shouting at the screen?

-Yeah.

Usual Suspects, that's good news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game, where one of you could be playing for £3,000.

-APPLAUSE

-Mitch, you failed to achieve perfection.

Which means you go home with nothing other than our thanks for being a great player. Mitch, everybody.

APPLAUSE

I don't think I've seen that before!

Anyway, it's time to meet the next Usual Suspect hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hello, I'm Mark. I'm from Cogan in the Vale of Glamorgan.

-I'm a pest control technician.

-Welcome to the show. Good luck.

We now find out which one of you has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Mark, you've been chosen! Please come and play Perfection.

Mark, welcome to the game. Where did you say you came from?

-The Vale of Glamorgan?

-Cogan.

-Where's near there that we might have heard of?

-Penarth.

-Oh, I know, yeah. Lovely part of the world.

-Yeah, just by Cardiff Bay.

-It's all been done-up now, round St David's.

-That's right. Yeah.

-All very posh down that neck of the woods now, isn't it?

-Some parts.

It's now 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 two games, the prize fund currently stands at £3,000.

-APPLAUSE

-Three rounds and a final to come.

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

As soon as Mark makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game.

-Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1, your 45 seconds start now...

Difficult Difficult one for me. I'm going to guess and say false.

I'm not sure if that's in Dubai. I'll say true.

I like Formula 1, and yes, that's true.

False.

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

-Good time management.

-Thank you.

-Nice and calm. Thought it through.

-Happy with that?

-D, I'm not too sure on, and A, I'm not sure on, either.

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

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements and Mark's answers.

Pat, has he achieved perfection?

I don't know. I know B and C are right.

I'm almost sure D is, and I haven't the faintest idea about A.

Kassa, what do you think?

I was questioning A as well. She might have won an Oscar.

-Andrew, has he achieved perfection?

-I'm the same as my team-mates.

My only question is on A.

All right, Mark, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four perfectly. Let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four's not bad, but it's not good enough.

It isn't perfection and you've let in your enemies, the Usual Suspects.

Can you steal the round? You can see Mark's answers.

You need to change one of them.

-I know that the chemical symbol for sodium is...

-Na.

-..Na.

-Yeah.

-James Hunt was a Formula 1 driver.

-It's got to be A.

-It must be.

We think, after discussing it, Nick, A, we'll change from false to true.

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

..You know that you've done all right, Usual Suspects.

The Burj Khalifa is the world's tallest building...

..James Hunt was a Formula 1 World Champion...

..S is the chemical symbol for sodium...

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

S is for sulphur and Na is sodium, as you said, Andrew.

Mark, they managed to succeed where you failed and as a result, they've stolen the round from you.

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

of winning the prize fund much harder in the final, and here's how.

Appearing before you, Mark, is your final board.

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

Here are your final round categories...

..Because the Usual Suspects stole the round,

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

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

-Does anything jump out at you?

-Shakespeare.

Shakespeare could be quite a juicy one.

-You happy?

-Yeah. Twilight also jumps out. Do you think he'll know anything about Twilight?

We think Shakespeare please, Nick.

And I need one more from you.

On the off-chance that it's about the film, Twilight...

..Well done, Usual Suspects. You won the first round.

Time to switch you off, but we'll see you in Round 2. Cheerio.

-Shakespeare?

-Oh, no, no! LAUGHTER

-Twilight?

-I haven't got a clue what that is yet.

Which ones are you desperate to avoid?

-Roman names.

-Mm-hm.

-Rivers.

-And rivers.

And which ones do you like?

Football and celebrities.

-OK, so, are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-Let's play Round 2.

-APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now...

I'm from Wales so I should know that, and that is false.

Not a strong subject of mine.

I would say false.

I think that one is true.

I'm sure they came second, so I'm going to say that's false.

Again, you managed the time well. Any you worried about there?

-B.

-B's the one that's worrying you?

-B's worrying.

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 Mark's answers.

Kassa, has he achieved perfection?

I believe he has. I was questioning B.

But back in those days, I don't think they lived that long!

-So I think he's achieved perfection.

-Good point. Andrew?

I don't think he has got perfection.

I can't remember if Geneva is the capital of Switzerland.

I thought it was Basel or something like that.

Maybe he's got one wrong.

-All right. Pat?

-Yes, I'm not sure if it's Geneva or Basel, the capital of Switzerland.

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

Three out of four. It's good, but it's not good enough.

As a result of you failing to achieve perfection,

your enemies are back in the game. Can you steal the round?

You can see Mark's answers. You need to change one.

-We'll leave A alone, cos there's 15 players.

-Yeah.

-Edward I was Hammer of the Scots.

-He was. Yes.

-Alexandra Burke won that X-Factor.

-Alexandra Burke, yeah.

So we think the only one that's wrong is C.

We'll change C from true to false...

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

-As you said, you'd get lynched if you went back to Wales and didn't know this!

-Right...

..35 years he was King of England.

Geneva is the capital of Switzerland. This is all-important.

Is that true or false?

It is false. It's Berne. And finally, JLS won the X-Factor.

Is that true or false?

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Just to clear that up, Kassa, you're right, it was Alexandra Burke.

-Mark, Usual Suspects have nicked it again.

-Yes.

As a result, you now have the opportunity to make Mark's chances

of winning the prize fund of £3,000 a little harder again.

Let's see the final board.

Two categories chosen by the Usual Suspects.

Because they won that round, they choose the next two categories,

hoping to make things tough for you in the final.

-Which two would you like?

-I don't think we want football.

Conflicts?

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-That's probably wars and things.

We'll try conflicts please, Nick.

Conflicts goes into the final. And...?

-Yeah.

-Orchestra, yes? And the second one, orchestra please, Nick.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you won the first and second round.

I'm going to switch you off and see you in Round 3.

What do you make of conflicts and orchestra?

Conflicts, I might not be too bad on it.

Orchestra, if it's about the instruments, pretty good on that. I'll have a good crack at that.

-You a bit miffed that they worked out to stay away from football?

-A bit, yeah.

-If you want that in the final, you're going to have to get it in yourself.

-I will do my best.

You have one more chance to find perfection and choose your own categories.

Let's press on and play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now...

True.

Ooh! Connie Booth.

I think that's true as well.

Whale shark? Fish? I'm sure...

-A whale shark...

-Running out of time.

-I'll say that's true.

I'm sure it was the Mirror. I'll say false.

Sorry about the hurry-up. I was worried you were going to run out of time.

-Interesting round?

-Yeah. The whale shark is the world's largest fish.

Ah! It threw me a bit, I've got to admit.

I'm not too sure on that one.

And after one in the last round about rugby, you'd have been lynched if you'd gone back with this one!

Have you got that one right?

Hopefully, yeah, but you question yourself, in case you got it wrong. LAUGHTER

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

These are the four statements and next to them, Mark's answers.

-Pat, has he achieved perfection?

-No. I think he's got one wrong.

-Which one?

-I think it's B.

Mm, interesting. Kassa, what do you think?

I think B and C. I'm not sure if C is a trick question.

I thought the killer whale was the world's largest fish.

-Andrew?

-Definitely, B is wrong. Connie Booth played Polly.

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

Three out of four!

-Consistent, mate! But consistently not quite perfect.

-No.

Much like myself! You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You need to change one.

Which one's it going to be?

I think that we both spotted that B was wrong.

For that reason, can we change B from true to false please, Nick?

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

-..Mark, you can go home!

-Yes! LAUGHTER

Connie Booth played Sybil in Fawlty Towers. Is that true or false?

Yes, it is false. You were absolutely right.

She played Polly.

The whale shark is the world's largest fish.

You know where this is going now...

..Finally, Piers Morgan was editor of the Sun newspaper.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Actually, he ran the paper's showbiz column.

He was editor of the News Of The World and the Daily Mirror.

Mark, the Usual Suspects have nicked it off you again.

You now have the opportunity to make Mark's chances of winning the prize fund as hard as it can be.

Let's have a look at the final board.

Four categories taken across, all chosen by the Usual Suspects.

Because you won the last round, you make it a clean sweep.

You can choose the last two. Which two would you like Mark to play?

Is there anything in particular that you see?

I'm looking at national flags.

I don't mind national flags at all.

The first one, Nick, is national flags.

National flags goes across. And...?

-Roman names?

-Or money, I thought.

-Roman names I think.

-Yeah.

The last one, Roman names please, Nick.

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

..Very well played, Usual Suspects. Time to switch you off for the final time. Away they go.

-Roman names.

-Again, you just don't know what's going to come up.

-It's going to be true or false! I can only guess.

-Any good on flags?

-I'm not too bad on flags.

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

This is the all-important final.

If you achieve perfection, you'll be leaving with a prize fund of £3,000.

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

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £4,000 on the next show.

-You don't want that to happen.

-No.

-So, let's play the final round.

Here are your final six categories...

..You must answer all six statements correctly,

if you want to win that £3,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit.

-Once you give me an answer, your first answer will be locked in.

-I understand.

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

..Um, Shakespeare?

I'm going to say that's false.

Twilight...

..I've never seen Twilight.

I'm going to say true.

Conflicts...

-..I think it was earlier than that. I'll say false.

-False.

Orchestra...

..Yeah. I think that's true.

National flags...

..I think it's black. I'm going to s... Oh!

I'll say that's false.

Roman names...

..Another total guess.

I will say that's false.

And with that, your six answers are locked in.

-If there's one single mistake, you leave with nothing.

-OK.

-Which ones are you unsure of?

-Most of them!

-LAUGHTER

-Let's try the other way round.

-Any you're sure of?

-The bassoon and the German flag.

They're quite hard ones for me.

Tough round. Tough final for you.

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

Usual Suspects, you can see the final six statements

and Mark's answers.

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

If you think you made a mistake, you can unlock them with the help of the Usual Suspects.

However, this will come at a cost.

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

-I'd like to hear from Pat, please.

I think you've got two wrong, but there's another one I'm not sure enough of to know.

So I wouldn't like to come down, thank you very much.

- Thank you, Pat. Kassa? - You definitely have one wrong.

I just want to ask, how confident are you?

I'm pretty confident.

I want to see what Andrew has to say, then. LAUGHTER

-Andrew?

-I think you certainly have one wrong that I can see.

I think I'll take myself out of it cos I'm not too confident.

So we'll pop back over to Kassa, the only one that might be considering coming down.

How many questions are you confident on?

I'm confident, um... I would say, on five.

OK, well, I definitely think one's wrong.

I'm not sure...

If you're sure on one, Kassa, I will offer half.

I think I'll leave it. OK.

It seems negotiations are at an end and, unfortunately, none of them are going to help.

So you're on your own. £3,000 at stake. Six answers away.

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

Kassa, you almost came down to join in.

Now that it doesn't matter, I'm interested to know which one that you thought was wrong.

It was B I wasn't sure of.

-Wasn't sure of? You weren't even certain.

-I was certain for a while.

-Then I read it back properly.

-Hm.

-So, yeah.

-So not sure at all?

It'll be interesting to see whether you should have come down and be walking away with some money.

Or whether it was right to stay. Let's go through them.

Start at the top and go through?

Yes.

-You didn't like this board.

-Not at all.

It was chosen by the Usual Suspects. They tried to tuck you up as much as they could...

-AUDIENCE GROANS

-It's true! It's weird.

Not Hamlet, as you would think, but his son was called Hamnet.

As a result, I'm afraid you know you haven't achieved perfection.

You're going home with no money. Can you achieve perfection at home?

-Also, how many have you got right?

-OK...

..Kassa wasn't sure about this. You said true. Is it true or false?

The character's name is Bella Swan.

The American War of Independence began in 1775. Is it true or false?

I'm afraid that one's true. You said history wasn't your strong point.

Three down. Three wrong.

Let's hope that you can even this up.

The next one, the bassoon. Let's hop over that one...

-..It's true.

-Dear God!

Eboracum was the Roman name for York. You said that was false.

Be nice if it turned red for you here. Is it true or false?

CHUCKLING: Oh, God!

-That's not a great board.

-No, not at all.

The bassoon is a woodwind instrument.

-You were confident about this.

-Not...

-Not any more?

-No.

We really want this to be true. We want you to get a tick on that board...

-..Ha-hay! It's true!

-APPLAUSE

I'm quite happy with that!

Usual Suspects, that's good news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game, where one of you could be playing for £4,000.

-In the end, Kassa, it was the right thing to do, not to come down.

-Yeah.

-Are you pleased you didn't come down now?

-Yes. Definitely.

-Mark, it was a tough board, wasn't it?

-Yeah, that was a really tough board for me.

You can only go true or false. Unfortunately, I got them wrong.

-At least you can go back to Wales knowing you got how many players are in a rugby union team.

-Yeah.

-And the patron saint of Wales.

-If I got them wrong, I would be Scottish now!

-Yes!

Listen, it's been great having you, you failed to achieve perfection

and you go home with nothing other than our thanks for being a great player.

-Mark, ladies and gentlemen.

-APPLAUSE

That's all we have time for. Please join us next time

when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play for £4,000.

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

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
