Episode 20 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 answer 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.

Hello. I'm Sarah from Margate.

I'm a custody forensic nurse and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Ryan. I'm from Cardiff. I'm a student and this is my third game.

Hi, I'm Tom. I'm from Bristol. I'm a travel agent manager and this is my fourth game.

Hi. I'm Ellie. I'm from Cornwall.

I'm a student studying drama, and this is my seventh game.

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

How extraordinary!

Sarah, it is you. Come down and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Sarah, welcome to the game. What do you do to relax outside of work?

-I've got three children, which take up most of my time.

-They'll keep you busy!

All right, well, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

I normally ask what you'd do with it, but you mentioned three children!

It would be a holiday with the children.

-Is that what you're aiming for?

-Yeah.

-Here's how the game works.

You'll play three rounds, then a final.

Each 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.

-Sarah, you can now talk through your answers without giving away any vital knowledge.

-OK.

Each round consists of four true or false statements.

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

Once you've given an answer, your first answer will be locked in.

-OK.

-Let's get started and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1. Your 45 seconds start now...

I think it's false.

I enjoy history, and I think that's true.

I've never heard of that.

I think that's false.

Again, I think that's false.

Within time, you've answered all four statements.

-Was it a good round?

-I...

A couple of them were OK.

-And the other couple were guesses?

-Yeah, were guesses.

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

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

Ellie, has she achieved perfection?

I, personally, would change D from false to true.

Apart from that, I'd leave it as it is.

-Tom?

-Ian Botham definitely played cricket.

I'm sure I've seen him in a football kit. I'm sure it was Scunthorpe.

-I think she's got A and D wrong.

-Ryan?

I was thinking I'd change C from false to true.

I know the Miracles were singers.

They could have been the backing band for Little Richard, whoever he is!

The moment of truth!

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four's not perfection.

As a result, you've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You only need to change one, but which one?

-I'm sure Ian Botham played professional football.

-Yeah?

-Shall we change it?

-I think so.

-Yeah?

Can we change A from false to true, please?

Let's find out what the correct answers are...

..The Miracles were Little Richard's backing band.

..It was Smokey Robinson who had the Miracles backing him...

..Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

A murmuration is actually usually applied to flocks of starlings.

You could either have a stand or a flamboyance of flamingos.

You've got to love these collective names!

They've managed to succeed where you failed and have stolen the round.

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

of winning the prize fund much harder in the final. Here's how.

Sarah, this is your final board.

These six spaces need to be filled with subject categories. Here are your categories...

..If you had won that round,

you'd have the opportunity of adding two categories of your choice to the final board.

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round,

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

Usual Suspects, which two would you like Sarah to play?

-What do you think, guys?

-We should definitely leave the scalp out.

-She's a nurse, so...

-Shall we go for football?

-Yeah.

Can we have football, please?

DJs or popcorn, I'm thinking.

-I'm happy with either of them.

-Yeah. DJs.

-DJs?

-DJs?

-Can we have DJs, please?

-Well done, Usual Suspects.

It's time to switch you off, but we will see you in Round 2.

Away they go. So, know anything about football?

Hm... No. LAUGHTER

-DJs?

-DJs, maybe.

Looking at that list, which ones are you desperate to avoid?

Probably the ones they've chosen.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-The trick is, if you get in charge of the board, you can choose your own subjects.

-So you need to achieve perfection, preferably in the next round.

-OK.

-Ready?

-Yeah.

-Let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now...

I think that's true.

He's lucky if he worked for the BBC. I would say that's...true.

I think that's false.

Again, I think that is going to be true.

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

-Did that feel like a better round? You enjoy that?

-Yes.

Don't know if it was a better round, but I enjoyed it.

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

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

Ryan, has she achieved perfection?

I'd change A from true to false. I've never heard of lollo rosso.

-I've heard of iceberg!

-That wasn't the question, so that doesn't help, but thank you, Ryan.

-Tom?

-No, I think she has got perfection, four out of four.

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

Congratulations, Sarah. You have achieved perfection.

-Very well played.

-Thank you.

-Let's look through those statements...

..You'll have to try some, Ryan. Very tasty...

..During World War II...

..It's what the Antipodeans call us Brits...

..Let's see the final board.

Two categories chosen by the Usual Suspects.

You get to choose the next two.

-What would you like from that list?

-Colours.

Colours goes across.

And...calendar.

And calendar goes across.

Usual Suspects, you didn't get a look in, but you might in Round 3.

That's when we'll see you next. Away they go.

-By choosing your categories, you've hopefully made winning the final easier.

-Definitely.

-Let's play Round 3.

-APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now...

Hoover's a Hoover, but I think that's false.

True.

Again, a history question. I think that's true.

I don't think she has. I think that's false.

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

-How did that one feel?

-OK.

-OK.

-You thought long and hard about B.

-Yeah.

Presumably, having a medical background,

-you're racking your brains through your studies.

-I am.

I trained a long time ago to be a nurse!

LAUGHTER So I was racking my brain on that.

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

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

-Tom, has she achieved perfection?

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

-I think it's A that she's got wrong.

-Ryan, what do you think?

I thought A might be wrong. I'd change that to true.

-I also think that D could be wrong.

-Right, Sarah.

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

From a good performance last round, that's two out of four.

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

Usual Suspects, you need to change two. Which two?

-We pretty much all agree on A.

-Can we change A from false to true?

I'd go with D, I think.

-You sure?

-Yeah, but I'm not 100% on it.

-I don't KNOW it.

-Let's go with D, then.

Can we change D from false to true, please?

Let's find out what the correct answers are...

..The Hoover Dam was named after President Herbert Hoover.

Oh, dear, Usual Suspects, you had the chance to steal the round, but you failed to find perfection.

Can you still achieve perfection at home? Let's go through the statements...

-..You're quite keen for this to be right.

-I am.

-For your professional reputation...!

Ya-hay! Vitamin D3 is the one that's produced in the skin...

..That's the one you were looking for. 1926, he died...

-..It's Moulin Rouge. Anybody ever see Moulin Rouge?

-TOM AND ELLIE: Oh, yeah!

Had you achieved perfection, you would have the opportunity

to make Sarah's chances of winning the prize fund much harder.

Let's look at the final board.

Two subjects chosen by the Usual Suspects. Two chosen by you, Sarah.

Two blank spaces to fill.

You'll take it in turns to choose a category.

-Sarah, you get to choose first. Which would you like?

-The scalp.

Usual Suspects, please choose a category you think will trouble her.

I was thinking hip-hop music or popcorn.

-Popcorn could be anything.

-Yeah.

Let's go for popcorn.

We now know our six final categories...

Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you off. We'll see you later.

Sarah, what do you make of those?

-We'll find out!

-You're absolutely right!

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

This is the all-important final round.

If you can achieve perfection, you could leave with a prize fund of £2,000.

If you fail, you'll be leaving with nothing - great news for our Usual Suspects,

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

Let's play the final round.

Here are your six categories...

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

-Think carefully. No time limit, but once you've given me your first answer, it will be locked in.

-OK.

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

It's a guess. I'd say...

False.

I've heard of John Peel.

I think it's...false.

I think that is true.

I've not heard of St Stephen's Day. I think that's...

false.

That's...false.

I think it's been around quite a while.

I think that's true.

All your answers are locked in. Which ones are you worried about?

A. Definitely.

I don't watch football.

D... Obviously, 1st January's New Year's Day.

I've not heard of it called St Stephen's Day.

-A and D you're worried about?

-A, definitely, I'm concerned about.

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

You can now see the final statements and Sarah's answers.

Sarah, your answers are locked in, but you can unlock the board

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

It will, however, come at a cost.

Usual Suspects, I'm going to ask you how well you think Sarah's done,

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

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

-Ellie.

There's one or two that I might consider changing.

I might consider coming down for it.

-For how much?

-Probably...£1,200.

Interesting. You've got some help if you want it.

-And the others?

-Tom, please.

You've definitely got two wrong.

But I'd cost a bit more. I'm going to be £1,500.

-That's interesting.

-And Ryan, please.

I'm pretty sure you've got one wrong. The rest I'm not sure on.

Are you coming down or not?

No.

So, Tom is offering to help you out, but he wants £1,500 of your £2,000.

Or Ellie wants £1,200. It's up to you to decide.

I'm quietly confident

and I'm going to go it alone.

-So, you think they're bluffing?

-I do.

Do you? An offer of help from Tom and Ellie, which you're turning down?

-I'm turning down help.

-All right. Negotiations have concluded.

You decided to go it alone. £2,000 at stake. Six answers.

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

When people have offered to come down, it's interesting to find out what they would have changed.

Tom, you said one, maybe two?

D and F.

You think D and F are wrong? Ellie?

-A and C.

-A and C you would have changed. Wow, a real mixture there.

There were three chosen by the Usual Suspects and three chosen by you.

Let's start with the ones that you chose.

Sepia is a pigment derived from cuttlefish ink...

-..Congratulations.

-APPLAUSE

£2,000 - you're only five questions away from walking away with it.

St Stephen's Day falls on the 1st January.

You didn't know about St Stephen's Day,

but you think you would have heard of it if it was on New Year's Day.

-Yes.

-On that basis, you went for false.

Is that true or false?

-Yeah, it is false. Very good.

-APPLAUSE

Oddly, in Europe, St Stephen's Day is the 26th, Boxing Day.

I kind of think you'd have heard of that, too.

In other parts of the world, it can be the 27th December.

Dandruff consists of broken hairs. You were confident about this one.

Very well done. You know what it is, don't you?

-Dry skin off the head.

-Yeah. It's tiny flecks of dead skin that flakes away from the scalp.

Your first three that you chose, and you are right in all of those.

You're only three away now. You're halfway to the £2,000.

Let's go to A, the three chosen for you.

Football, which you said you didn't know much about...

Very good. The clue was in the "roo" part.

The Australian football team is known as the Socceroos.

You're now only two away, and we get to B...

-..It kind of rang a bell.

-Hm.

-Definitely.

-We need this to turn red to get you one away from £2,000.

AUDIENCE GROANS

As a result, I'm afraid you have not achieved perfection.

Can you still achieve perfection?

Let's see how well you've done...

..There is evidence of it being made in the Americas several thousand years ago.

Usual Suspects, that's great news for you. The prize fund rolls over.

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

APPLAUSE

-Sarah, I'm afraid you failed to achieve perfection, but you played fantastically.

-Thank you.

You go home with nothing, other than our thanks for playing.

-You enjoyed yourself?

-I've had a fantastic time, thank you.

-Sarah, ladies and gentlemen.

-APPLAUSE

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

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

My name's Alan. I'm from Essex. I'm a shuttering carpenter.

Welcome to the show, Alan. We now find out which one of you has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Ellie, please come and play Perfection.

-Ellie, welcome to the game. You've done a drama course, is that right?

-Yeah, a degree.

-You'd like to be an actress?

-Yeah, preferably in comedy.

-Do you live on your own?

-I live with my mum and dad.

-Any pets around the house?

-Four pigs and one of them's just had piglets.

-What, as pets or for eating?

-No, as pets.

-That's an unusual choice of animal.

-Well, we had two dogs but they died.

So Mum thought, "Let's get pigs."

Of course. That's what most people do(!)

-Do the pigs have names?

-We've got Julie, who's had the piglets.

-Rusty, Babe and Flo.

-Well, congratulations to Julie, obviously, on becoming a mother.

Pigs as pets, I never really thought about that. Anyway, let's move on.

It's you versus the Usual Suspects. They were your team-mates, now they're your enemies.

Here's the good news, nobody's won the past two games, so the prize fund currently stands at £3,000.

APPLAUSE

-I don't know how much pigs are, but you don't need to buy any more anyway.

-No.

-We've got enough at the moment.

-What are you going to spend £3,000 on?

I'd like to get my head shots and my show reel sorted to kick start my acting career.

Well, very good luck with that. 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 Ellie makes a mistake, you will be back in the game.

You can now talk through your answers without giving away any vital knowledge.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Are you nervous?

-A little bit.

-Let's play Perfection.

-APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now...

I used to read Enid Blyton. I don't think Mr Plod was in it.

I'm going to go false.

My mum tries to make me eat radishes. I'm not entirely sure.

I'm going to go true.

Kookaburras are in Australia and I spent six weeks there.

I know that's true.

LAUGHING: That seems... That's quite...

I'm going completely false on that one!

And with time to spare, even with the giggling,

you managed to answer all four statements.

-That felt like a good round for you.

-Yeah. It's OK.

-Quite positive?

-Yeah.

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

These are the four statements and Ellie's answers.

Tom, has she achieved perfection?

I don't believe she has achieved perfection.

I feel she's got one wrong, which is B.

-Ryan, what do you think?

-I agree with Tom.

-I'd change B from true to false.

-Alan?

I'm pretty sure the lads have hit the nail on head. B.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

Two out of four. Certainly not perfection.

-You know what happens next.

-Yeah.

Your enemies are let into the game. Can you steal the round?

You can see Ellie's answers. You need to change two. Which two?

-We're all pretty sure on B.

-Yeah. A and B we'll change?

-A and B.

-You all happy with that?

-Yeah.

-OK.

We're going to change A to true.

And B to false.

Let's find out the correct answers.

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

-..He appears in the Noddy stories.

-Of course he does...!

It is, of course, a root vegetable.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you know where this is going...

-..There's a song, "Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree."

-Yeah.

The chorus goes, "Laugh, kookaburra, laugh..."

Could it possibly be false?

-Absolutely no relation at all!

-LAUGHTER

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

That last one, you were laughing so much you could barely get an answer out.

This isn't to laugh about, they have succeeded where you failed and have stolen the round.

Ellie, this is your final board.

These six spaces need to be filled with subject categories. Here are your categories...

..The Usual Suspects choose two categories, hoping to make the final harder for you to win.

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

She's into drama and acting, so I wouldn't choose films.

-I'd lean towards architecture. I think that'd be difficult.

-Yeah.

So we're going to go architecture.

We need one more from you, please.

I'm thinking cartoons, because she got the Noddy one wrong.

-That's not a bad one.

-Cartoons?

-Yeah.

-Go with that.

-Cartoons.

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

Time to switch you off, but we will see you in Round 2.

Let's have a little chat about those. Architecture?

I've travelled all over the world,

so I've been very lucky to see a lot of architecture.

Cartoons? Used to watch them when I was a kid.

-Depends on the question, I suppose.

-It depends on what era we're in.

Let's look over on the left.

Which ones will you be choosing, if you get the opportunity?

I might go for plants, dialling codes

and between fashion and 1950s music.

Which ones are you desperate to avoid?

Law, Mel Brooks and, probably, horror films.

It's only the first round. You have two more rounds to find perfection

and choose your own categories for the final.

-Let's play Round 2.

-APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now...

My mum was a fan of Pink Floyd. I don't know.

I'm going to have to go false.

It could be. I'm going to go true.

Taff?

False - I think.

Was he the Black Prince?

I'll put true.

I think. Yeah.

You've answered all four statements.

-You didn't look so comfortable.

-All of them are a bit...

-A bit tough?

-Yeah.

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

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

-Alan, has she achieved perfection?

-I don't think she has.

-A, I would change from false to true.

-Ryan?

C is definitely wrong.

I'm from Cardiff, so the River Taff is right next to me!

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

Just one out of four!

-CHUCKLING:

-A very long way from perfection.

-I'm sorry to laugh, but it's not a great round, that one.

-No.

You've let your enemies into the game.

On the up side, they've only spotted two mistakes.

There are Ellie's answers. You need to change three. Which three?

-We need to find the one she's got right.

-Yeah.

I think we can definitely change A.

We're definitely going to change A.

-C, definitely.

-C, false to true.

You've got to find one other.

I've heard of Richard III.

-But not of him being known as the Black Prince.

-So, B true?

We'll stick with B as true

and D to false.

Let's find out what the correct answers are...

..Absolutely right, Alan...

..You've got a good idea where this is going now...!

..As Ryan knows all too well!

-He can dip his toes in it, if he walks out the front door!

-Yeah.

..Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

It was Edward, the heir apparent to Edward III of England,

who was known as the Black Prince.

Let's look at the final board.

Two subject categories already chosen by the Usual Suspects.

Because you won that round, you choose the next two as well.

-Which do you fancy?

-Dialling codes?

-There's so many.

That's true. I think Egyptian gods could be a tough one.

OK, so we're going to go dialling codes.

And Egyptian gods.

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

Time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round 3.

-Dialling codes is one of the ones you were going to choose!

-Yeah.

That's quite good. And Egyptian gods?

Eugh... Ish. LAUGHS

Well, you never know. OK, let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now...

I've followed his career quite a bit and I don't think he ever was.

So that's false.

I've never heard of either of those, so... True?

I'm just going to say...false?

That does ring a bell from some of my history lessons.

I'm just going to go true.

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

-How did that round feel?

-..OK. LAUGHS

-Bit half-and-half, "rice and chips", as they say in Cardiff.

-Yeah.

Time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, these were the four statements and Ellie's answers.

-Ryan, has she achieved perfection?

-I think Ellie's done really well.

I agree with most of her answers.

-Tom?

-I agree. I think she's had a good round. She has got perfection.

-Alan, can you see anything wrong?

-Nothing jumps out at me. B, maybe.

I'm not too sure, but I think she's done really well.

-A vote of confidence from the Usual Suspects!

-That's nice.

Let's see how many are correct.

Three out of four! Better -

but not perfection, I'm afraid.

The Usual Suspects are back in the game.

Can you steal this round as well?

You can see Ellie's answers. You need to change one of them.

B was the only one I'm not sure about.

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

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

-..He was in a relationship with her.

-Yeah.

But you took an interest in his career.

-It is his career you're interested in?

-Yeah. Well, you know!

Ozymandias is a poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley...

..That's true, Usual Suspects!

You had the chance to steal the round, but you failed to achieve perfection.

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

..It's equal to two standard bottles of wine!

..So, let's have a look at the final board.

There are four subjects already on there, chosen by the Usual Suspects.

As nobody managed to win that round,

we have two categories still to put into the final.

You're going to take it in turns. Ellie, you get to choose first.

Which category would you like?

I'm going to go with plants, please.

Usual Suspects, please choose a category.

-What about 1950s music?

-Yeah, 1950s music is going to be quite hard.

-That's quite hard for anyone!

-Yeah, 1950s music.

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

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

-What do you think?

-It could go either way.

-You did want 1950s music, so they kind of did you a favour.

-Yeah.

-What's your interest in 1950s music?

-I've been lucky with my family.

-They have a great range of musical tastes.

-That's quite handy.

I've picked bits and pieces up from everywhere, so you never know.

So, Ellie, for £3,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

This is the all-important final round. If you achieve perfection, you'll be leaving with £3,000.

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

One of them could be playing for a rollover of £4,000 on the next game.

So, let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Here are your final six categories...

..You must answer all six correctly to win the £3,000.

Think carefully. There is no time limit, but once you've given me your first answer, it's locked in.

-Yeah. OK.

-You ready?

-Yes.

-Let's reveal your first statement...

Now, I know pagodas are found in Japan.

Whether they're made of paper or not is a different matter.

They're sort of white and brown,

so one would assume they're made, as a majority, from paper.

So... I'll go true.

I used to watch Tom & Jerry when I was little, so... Um...

Jasper & Jinx?

It sounds like a good double act, doesn't it?

Oh, let's go true.

I've had to dial that recently and I don't know where for,

which is really irritating.

Oh, no! I'm going to go false with that one.

GIGGLING: I've never heard of the god Horus.

Um... It's going to have to be a complete guess.

I'm going to go with false?

-..Plants - the one subject chosen by yourself.

-Yes!

Now, my mum has lots of buddleia.

And I'm fairly sure its nickname is the butterfly bush.

I'm going to go with true.

Finally, 1950s music, a subject you would have chosen yourself,

but was happily chosen for you by the Usual Suspects.

I know the song. I'm singing it in my head. Um...

-Feel free to sing, if it helps.

-LAUGHING: No, I couldn't!

I'm going to go with...

true.

With that, all six answers are locked in.

If there's one mistake, you leave with nothing. Which are you unsure of?

Um...

GIGGLING: I think B, D and F.

-B, D and F, you're worried about?

-Yeah.

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

-Yeah.

You can now see the final six statements and Ellie's answers.

Ellie, 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.

-Who would you like to hear from first?

-I'd like to hear from Tom first.

That's a really tough board you've had.

I wouldn't say I'd know four out of the six.

-So I'm going to count myself out.

-Tom's out.

-Can I hear from Alan, please?

I'm the same. We picked quite a few horrendous categories for you.

- Sorry about that(!) - That's OK!

-I don't think I could help you. I count myself out.

-Alan's out, too.

-And Ryan?

-I'm pretty sure you've got one wrong.

And there's quite a few that I have no idea of, myself.

So I don't think I'd be able to help you in any way.

Oh, boys! LAUGHTER

-I think they're trying to build the cash up!

-Of course they are!

I'm afraid there's no help coming your way from the Usual Suspects.

-You're on your own.

-Brilliant(!)

-£3,000 at stake.

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

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

We'll start at the bottom because the last two categories

were one you chose yourself and one you would have chosen, anyway.

-Yeah.

-So that's the place to start.

-Let's do it.

Starting at the bottom, then...

You need this to turn green,

in order to be able to go home and face your family again!

So, is it true or false?

Very good!

APPLAUSE

That's you off and running on your way towards £3,000.

Let's see how you've done in the rest...

..This is the one category you chose yourself.

-My mum's gonna kill me if I get this wrong.

-Another reason you won't be able to go home!

You need this to turn green cos you said it's true.

-It IS true. Very well done...

-APPLAUSE

It IS false.

The god Horus is depicted normally as a falcon

-or a human with a head of a falcon.

-Oh, OK.

If you get this you'll be only two answers away from the money...

SHE SCREAMS

APPLAUSE

0116 is Leicester.

-You're only two away now.

-I know. How exciting!

-LAUGHTER

-Let's keep the excitement going...

..If it turns green, you are one away from £3,000.

That's silly, isn't it?

APPLAUSE

You look a little bit worried, Usual Suspects.

-You didn't know these. You couldn't help her out.

-No.

Serves you right, boys! LAUGHTER

One away from £3,000. It all rests on this final one.

-Have you seen a pagoda?

-I've seen pictures of it.

They look white in the pictures, so...

Oh, get on with it! I can't wait any longer.

All right, then. We need this to turn green.

If it turns green, you walk out of here with £3,000.

If it turns red, you leave with nothing and the money rolls over...

..Is it true or false, for £3,000...?

AUDIENCE GROANS Oh, no!

-So close!

-So close!

That's bad news, I'm afraid. Let me tell you about a pagoda.

-Do you know what it might be?

-Wood?

-Stone, brick or wood.

Not paper, I'm afraid. Usual Suspects, that's good news for you. The prize fund rolls over.

One of you could be playing for a total of £4,000.

Ellie, you failed to achieve perfection, which means you go home with nothing,

other than our thanks for being a great contestant and Usual Suspect.

-Eight games.

-Yes.

-Enjoyed yourself?

-It's been brilliant fun.

-Ellie, 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, five out of six isn't close enough. We only pay for perfection. Goodbye.
