Episode 21 Perfection

Welcome to the show that demands perfection.

Four contestants hope their knowledge is flawless

because one single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

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

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

We'll find out which one has been randomly selected to join me to play Perfection.

They will face a series of true-or-false statements. If I said...

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

If you'd said true, you'd be right.

Answering true or false might seem easy,

but if the contestant gets an answer wrong,

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

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

Hi, my name's Veronica. I'm a very mature student.

I live in Fife, and this is my first game.

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

This is my second game.

Hi, I'm Ryan, from Cardiff.

I'm a student. This is my fifth game.

Hi, I'm Tom, from Bristol.

I'm a travel agent manager. This is my sixth game.

Best of luck, as we find out which one of you has been randomly picked to play.

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

APPLAUSE

Welcome to the game. If you could be anyone for a day, who would you be?

-Santa Claus.

-That makes sense.

-Why?

-You get to see people's houses,

you eat for free, look after people who have done well

and then people who haven't, you can take presents away from them.

Is that what you do when you're upset with people - take something off them at Christmas?

-Definitely.

-That's a new thought. That's something I might consider.

Tom, it's you versus the Usual Suspects.

They're now your enemies. Their job is to stop you winning

because your failure means the money rolls over,

where one of them could be sitting here.

-You don't want that to happen.

-No.

-Every game is worth £1,000.

Here's the good news - nobody's won the last three games so the prize fund stands at £4,000.

APPLAUSE

Have you got anything interesting coming up you need to spend the cash on?

I'm recently married. We've just moved into a new cottage,

so it would go a long way to get it right.

-Got a bit to do on it, have you?

-Yes. The boiler's packed up, the roof's leaking.

It's just cold. The walls sweat! LAUGHTER

-Lots to do!

-Did you see the place before you bought it?

I was advised not to buy a cottage but my wife loved it.

That's the thing, once you see a place you love...

-You've got to go for it.

-That £4,000 might get you a boiler and central heating at least!

Here's how the game works - you play three rounds and a final.

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

If your performance is less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects will have a chance to steal the round,

making the final that much harder. More of that later.

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

Each round consists of four true-or- false statements, against the clock.

You'll only have 45 seconds. Once you give an answer, it will be locked in.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Good. Then, let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round One, Tom. Your 45 seconds starts now.

800 metres is quite a height. I've been there.

I'm going to go for true.

True.

-I'm going to say that's false.

-False.

I'm a skier myself and I'm going to say that is true.

True. And with plenty of time to spare...

I lived in Spain for three years, so I'll say that is true.

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

-Are you happy with that?

-I think so!

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

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements and Tom's answers.

Ryan, has he achieved perfection?

I'd change B from false to true. I'm pretty sure Spielberg did direct War Horse.

-Alan, what do you think?

-Definitely B.

Veronica, can you pick any holes in those answers?

-I totally agree with Spielberg - I think that's true.

-Thank you.

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

Let's see how many are correct.

Just one out of four. Certainly not perfection.

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal this round?

You can see Tom's answers. You need to change three of them, but which three?

We're all pretty certain with B.

-I think we'll change B.

-We'll change B from false to true.

B changes from false to true.

-I think C.

-I thought C was right.

-Keep that true.

-I'll go along with you.

Yes. So we'll change A from true to false.

'A' from true to false.

-And D from true to false, as well.

-And D from true to false,

leaving C as answered by Tom.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

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

HE READS A

It is false.

-324 metres. 800 is huge!

-Huge, yes.

HE READS B

That's true.

HE READS C

That is true. You know where this is going now.

Viernes is the Spanish word for Thursday. True or false?

It is false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

-you have achieved perfection.

-APPLAUSE

-It's Friday, not Thursday.

-How do you know?

-I lived in Spain. I just rushed the question.

It is Friday. But to be fair, others needed changing, too.

Tom, they succeeded where you failed and they've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you have the opportunity

to make Tom's chances of winning the prize much harder in the final. Here's how...

Tom, appearing in front of you is your final board.

These six blank spaces need to be filled with categories.

Here are your categories, starting with 'English History', 'Paintings', with more in between.

If you'd won that round, you'd have the opportunity of adding two categories to the board.

But because the Usual Suspects stole the round, they choose the categories,

hoping to make the final harder for you.

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

Veronica, would you like to have a stab at one?

I think 'Greek Myth' would be a real naughty one.

-We'll put 'Greek Myth' up.

-'Greek Myth' goes across. Thank you.

-What are you going for?

-'Girlbands'?

-'Girlbands'.

-'Girlbands' goes across.

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

See you in Round Two. Cheerio.

-'Greek Myth'?

-I lived in Greece for five years.

I've been to Olympia, Athens... I'll be all right on that.

-'Girl Bands'?

-I have to listen to CDs in the car, which my wife makes me do!

Hopefully, that'll put me in good stead.

What about those ones on the left? Which ones would you choose if you get the opportunity?

'Horse Racing' I know a little bit about.

-'Presenters' I think, as well.

-You watch a bit of telly?

-Yes.

And which ones are you desperate to avoid?

I would say 'Fictional Dancers' and I would probably say 'Royalty'.

Tom, it's only the first round. You still have two more rounds to choose categories for the final.

-Ready?

-Yes.

-Let's play Round Two.

-APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I think that is true.

True.

Again, I think that's true. I'll go true.

True.

Hm... I should know that one. I'll say that's false.

False. And finally...

Again, I'll go false on that one.

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

-How did that round feel?

-I'm unsure on the bottom one.

-Bit of a guess at the end?

-Yes.

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

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements and Tom's answers.

Veronica, what do you think? Has he achieved perfection?

I think the humerus is in the arm, so that's true.

-All right. Ryan, what do you think?

-I agree with Veronica.

I think C should be changed from false to true

because I thought the humerus was the funny bone.

All right. Thank you. Tom, the moment of truth...

Let's find out how many are correct.

-Just one out of four. Consistent!

-I know. Consistently bad!

Certainly not consistently perfect. Let's leave it at that!

You've let your enemies back into the game.

Can you steal the round? You need to change three answers, but which three?

-C, definitely.

-We'll change C from false to true.

C changes from false to true. We need to change two others.

I thought Hillary Clinton became Vice-President in 2008.

-Do you want to take the risk?

-Yes.

-Risk it for a biscuit.

-I'll change B from true to false.

B changes from true to false.

-I would go with D.

-D. OK.

-We'll change D from false to true.

-D changes from false to true,

leaving 'A' as Tom originally answered.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

HE READS A

Yes, it is true, which means you know where this is going now.

HE READS B

It's false. She's never become Vice-President.

Joe Biden became Vice-President.

You got to the right answer, not necessarily the right way! It doesn't really matter.

HE READS C

True. It is referred to as the funny bone.

HE READS D

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

The Usual Suspects have succeeded again where you failed.

As a result, they've stolen the round.

You can make Tom's chances of winning the prize fund of £4,000 much harder.

Let's see the final board.

On there are two categories chosen by the Usual Suspects.

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

Which two would you like?

-'Gilbert & Sullivan'.

-I'm happy.

-'Gilbert & Sullivan' in.

-'Gilbert & Sullivan' goes in.

-I think 'Fictional Dancers'.

-'Fictional Dancers'.

-It's so random, it could be anything.

-Yes.

-'Fictional Dancers' in, as well.

-And 'Fictional Dancers'.

Congratulations. You have won the second round.

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

-Boy, oh, boy!

-LAUGHTER

-Have you got a whole load of books about dancers?

-No!

-Gilbert & Sullivan?

-No!

You have got one last chance to achieve perfection in Round Three

-so that you can pick at least a couple for the final.

-That'd be nice.

-Let's press on and play Round Three.

-APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

That is false.

False.

-That's false.

-False.

-That's true.

-True. And finally...

-False.

-False. With loads of time to spare, you've answered all four.

-That felt like a much more comfortable round for you.

-Yes.

-Do you think you're in with a chance of perfection?

-I hope so.

Before we reveal whether you've achieved it or not, let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements.

Next to them are Tom's answers. Has he achieved perfection? Alan?

-There's nothing I would change.

-Ryan?

I think 'A' is the only one I would change, from false to true.

Thank you. Tom, the moment of truth. You need to have answered all four perfectly.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Congratulations, Tom, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

-That feels a bit better, doesn't it?

-Much better!

Let's go through the answers.

South Africa won the 2011 Rugby Union World Cup. True or false?

It is false. It was New Zealand.

HE READS B

Of course it's false. It's Adele.

HE READS C

That is...

-..true.

-HE READS D

You said that was false.

Of course it was false. 1939.

Tom, you've made winning the prize fund a little bit easier.

Let's have a look at your final board.

Four categories already chosen by the Usual Suspects,

but you've earned the right to choose the last two categories.

Which two do you fancy?

-I'll go with 'Presenters'.

-'Presenters' goes across. And?

-I'll go with 'Horse Racing'.

-'Horse Racing' goes into the final.

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

It's time to switch you off for the final time, Usual Suspects. Bye.

-So, half a chance?

-Yes! 50-50!

Tom, for £4,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

This is the all-important final. If you can achieve perfection here,

you could leave with £4,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing, which is great news for the Usual Suspects

because one of them could be playing for a rollover of £5,000 on the next game.

-Let's play the Final Round.

-APPLAUSE

Tom, here are your six categories.

You must answer all six correctly if you want to win the £4,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit here

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

-OK.

-Ready?

-I'm ready.

-Breath. Relax.

Let's reveal your first statement. Tell me whether it's true or false.

Greek Myth...

-I'll say that's true.

-True.

Girlbands...

I don't believe she was.

They're quite a famous group. She's a solo artist.

-I'll say that's false.

-False.

Gilbert & Sullivan...

I'm going to say...

-..that's false.

-False.

Fictional Dancers...

I haven't seen it myself so it's going to be a complete guess.

-I'll say that's true.

-True.

Presenters.

-I'll say that's true.

-True. And finally Horse Racing.

That's definitely true because I had a fiver on it at 33-1.

LAUGHTER So confident on that one!

-So you're saying...?

-That's true.

-True. Thank you. All six answers are locked in.

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

Probably two or three. C, D and E.

-C, D and E, you're worried about.

-Yes.

-OK.

Let's switch on the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements and Tom's answers.

Tom, your answers are now locked in.

If you think you've made a mistake, you can unlock the board with their help.

This will, however, come at a cost.

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

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

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

-Alan.

There's four I'm pretty sure you've got right, but there's two I could go either way with.

I'm really not sure. I don't think I could help you, mate, so I'm out.

-Ryan.

-I've got quite strong doubts about one of them.

Go to Veronica next. I haven't ruled myself out yet.

-Veronica.

-I think you've got quite a few wrong.

If you want to make me an offer, I might come down.

-How much are we talking?

-I think I'd need at least two and a half.

£2,500 is the opening offer from Veronica.

That's a lot of cash. Could you not figure out 50-50?

No. I'd have to take a big risk because I'm going home, as well.

-It would be two and a half.

-Two and a half.

-Ryan, what is your offer?

-I'd want £3,000.

Remember, you don't have to take the Usual Suspects' advice.

Veronica, I want to take you up on your offer.

Veronica, you've offered to come down for £2,500 of the £4,000, leaving you £1,500.

-Do you agree on that, Veronica?

-Yes. I'll have a go.

Negotiations are over.

As a result, Veronica, please come down and join us.

APPLAUSE

Tom, you asked Veronica for help.

If you achieve perfection, it will cost you £2,500

of your potential prize fund of £4,000.

Veronica, you've forfeited your chance in the next game.

This is your only chance of winning Perfection.

Have you made the right decision? We're about to find out.

Here are the Final-Round statements. All six answers are now unlocked.

Veronica, Tom, you might want to have a chat about what you want to change.

-I'm not too sure about Alicia Keys. You're a better generation than me.

-I'm confident on that one.

-The Mikado - I think that's true.

-OK.

Tony Manero - not in Flashdance. He was in Grease, so that's false.

I think Nigella's father was Chancellor of the Exchequer.

-OK. I'm confident on the horse racing one.

-Good.

-The top one?

-The top one...

-Is that one we're unsure of?

-Remember the snake thing?

-Yes.

-And the guy with the sword?

-Remember Jason and the Argonauts?

-Mm.

-Is that the Greek name?

-Mm...

-Well, it hangs on that, Tom.

-Yes.

Do you want to change D from true to false?

D changes from true to false.

E from true to false.

E changes from true to false.

-We're going to go C - true.

-C changes from true to false.

-Are you going to keep it?

-We'll keep it. Let's go for it.

We're going to go 'A' staying as true.

-The rest are staying as they are?

-BOTH: Yes.

Those answers are now locked in.

£4,000 at stake. A lot of money.

£1,500 to Tom, £2,500 to Veronica. Six answers away.

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

If the statement turns green, it's true.

If it turns red, it's false.

The one that you really didn't know whether to change or not to change

-is the top one, isn't it?

-BOTH: Yes.

So let's leave that one.

-We'll come back to that later on.

-LAUGHTER

Alicia Keys was a member of Destiny's Child.

Tom said that was false. Veronica had no reason to disagree.

We need this to turn red to get you well on the way towards the total of £4,000

you're splitting slightly unevenly between you.

So, is that true or false?

-It's false. Well done.

-APPLAUSE

Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams were Destiny's Child.

-Alicia Keys was a solo artist.

-Did you know that one?

-No.

Then we go on to the first of the changes.

HE READS C

To be honest, Tom, you were floundering on this one.

C and D were the ones I didn't have a clue about.

So, pleased when Veronica came down and seemed positive that you needed to change that to true.

-You need this to turn green if it's going to continue towards the £4,000.

-I can't look!

HE READS C

Is that true or false?

-It's true.

-Well done.

-Very well done.

D - another one that you didn't have a clue on, did you?

This was a bit of a guess for you. Veronica came to change it to false.

-Confident about this one?

-I just remember your hair and his hair are similar.

Are you saying I had similar hair? Really? That's interesting. OK.

You need this to turn red to get you halfway towards the £4,000.

Tony Manero is the main character in Flashdance.

Is that true or is that false?

-It's false. Very well done.

-Very well done.

It was actually John Travolta's character in Saturday Night Fever and Staying Alive.

Nigella Lawson's father was Deputy Prime Minister.

Now, this is interesting. Tom thought that might be true.

Veronica came down and convinced you that, in fact,

-Nigella Lawson's father was...?

-Chancellor of the Exchequer.

So not Deputy Prime Minister.

As a result, you changed it to false.

You need this to turn red to get you just two away from the £4,000.

Nigella Lawson's father was Deputy Prime Minister.

Is that true or false?

-It's false. Congratulations. Very good.

-Thank you.

Absolutely spot on, Veronica. He was Chancellor of the Exchequer.

-I'm having a heart attack here!

-Sorry about that!

Now we come to F, which is the one that you're saying definite.

It's a grey horse.

I can tell you the colours it was wearing on the day! Everything about it!

So, this is absolutely definite, isn't it?

-That's true. Very good.

-APPLAUSE

Here's the really interesting one. You're one away from walking away with £2,500 for yourself, Veronica,

£1,500 for you, Tom. It all rests on this last one, which you talked about,

which you said, "Maybe we should, maybe we shouldn't change it."

OK, well, let's find out, shall we?

Theseus killed Medusa. You said that was true.

You had the chance to change it, decided not to.

If this turns green, you walk away with £2,500, Veronica,

and £1,500 for you, Tom, to get that cottage sorted out.

If it turns red, you walk out of here with nothing

and the money rolls over for the Usual Suspects.

You need this to turn green. So, Theseus killed Medusa...

Is that true or false,

for four thousand pounds?

DRAMATIC MUSIC

-It's false!

-I knew we should've changed it!

-It's false.

-Aye, aye, aye! Sorry.

Tom, Veronica, I'm afraid that you didn't manage to achieve perfection.

Perseus it was. You talked about it, almost changed it, you didn't in the end.

Usual Suspects, the prize fund rolls over to the next game,

where one of you could be playing for a total of £5,000.

APPLAUSE

You failed to achieve perfection. You go home with nothing, other than our thanks.

-Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-BOTH: Yes.

Thank you, Tom and Veronica, everybody.

APPLAUSE

That was tough, wasn't it? Time to meet the next Usual Suspects hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspects, please introduce yourselves.

I'm Angela, a sales administrator from Widnes in Cheshire.

My name is Vic. I'm from Milford On Sea and I'm a retired merchant seaman.

Best of luck to all of you,

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

Alan, it's you. Please come and join us and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

-Alan, welcome to the game.

-Cheers, Nick.

It's you versus the Usual Suspects. They're now your enemies.

Since nobody has won the last four games,

the prize fund currently stands at £5,000.

APPLAUSE

Have you got anything coming up you need to spend the cash on?

In a few years time, I've got quite an event.

My eldest daughter will be 18 in the May,

my wife will be 40 in the June and I'll be 50 in the July.

So I've got an 18th, a 40th and 50th in consecutive months!

-That's an expensive year!

-It's going to be very expensive.

So all the money I could possibly try to win would go towards that.

The fact that you're thinking about it will go down well at home, in terms of the money.

The fact that you gave out your wife's age on TV is not going to go down well at all.

-I should've thought about that!

-Let's move on!

OK, three rounds and a final to come.

Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off.

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

-Are you ready?

-Yes. Fire away.

-Then, let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round One. Your 45 seconds starts now.

It could be either one.

-I'll go true.

-True.

I think that's false. He was Wolverine.

False.

I think that's correct. That's true.

-True?

-Yes.

-And finally...

I'll go false. I don't know why. I know nothing about hippopotamus.

-False?

-I've got a feeling that's false.

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

You went very quickly. Does that mean it's a really good round?

The last one, I'm a bit dubious. The top one could be either.

-All right.

-I'm happy with two, not so happy with the other two.

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

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

Ryan, has he achieved perfection?

I think I would've chosen true for D.

-Angela, how do you think he's done?

-I'm not certain about B or D.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

-Three out of four is not bad, but it's not perfection.

-No.

You've let your enemies into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal this round?

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

He's only got one wrong so we only need to change one.

B's right.

-Romania is definitely landlocked.

-Yes, that's right.

And the diet of the hippo is mainly grass.

So we're going to change A, then? We'll change A from true to false.

'A' changes from true to false,

leaving B, C and D as answered by Alan.

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

HE READS A

It's true.

Usual Suspects, you had the chance to steal. You failed to achieve perfection.

Can you still achieve perfection at home?

Let's have a look through the other statements and answers.

HE READS B

It is false. You're right, Ryan.

-He was famous for playing Wolverine.

-Yes.

HE READS C

It's false, I'm afraid. It has a coast on the Black Sea.

HE READS D

It's false. They mainly eat grass.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection,

you would have the opportunity to make Alan's chances of winning much harder in the final,

and here's how...

Alan, this is your final board.

These six blank spaces need to be filled with categories.

Here are the Final-Round categories, starting with 'Best Sellers',

ranging through 'Boxing', 'Elvis' and onto 'John Wayne', with many others in between.

Because neither side won the round,

the two categories due to be chosen will be carried to the next round,

meaning four categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round Two.

Which ones on the left, if you get the opportunity, will you choose?

Definitely 'Elvis'.

-I've been known to do a bit of karaoke with Elvis.

-Really?

-Do you want to give us a demo?

-No!

-It's your chance on TV.

-The kids would kill me!

'Boxing'. I love boxing.

-Which are you desperate to avoid?

-I'm happy with that lot.

-Really?

-Ready for the next round?

-Yes.

-Let's play Round Two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-That's true.

-True.

I'm not sure about that.

I don't know the names of his albums. I'll go false.

False.

-True.

-True. And finally...

False. I haven't got a Danny La Rue about any of them.

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

-You're fessing up to the fact that there were a few guesses.

-Yes.

-There was a few guesses there!

-Before we reveal how well you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

-Angela, has he achieved perfection?

-No, he hasn't.

He's definitely got C wrong.

-OK. Vic?

-I agree with Angela on C. The square of 11 is 121.

-Ryan, what do you think?

-I think B might be wrong.

My mum is, like, the super fan of Olly Murs

so I'm pretty sure that he did have an album called 'In Case You Didn't Know'.

All right, well, let's find out how many you got correct.

Just two out of four. You failed to achieve perfection. You know what that means.

-I thought I got two wrong.

-Usual Suspects are back in the game.

Can you steal the round? You can see Alan's answers. You need to change two of them.

-We're all agreed on C, yes?

-C.

We'll change C from true to false.

C changes from true to false. One more.

I'm pretty sure B... As soon as I saw that, I thought it was wrong.

-Shall we go for that?

-Change B, then.

We'll change B from false to true, as well.

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

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

HE READS A

It is absolutely true.

HE READS B

-True. You're safe to go home, Ryan.

-LAUGHTER

HE READS C

It's false. It's 121, as you said, Vic.

HE READS C

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Just to clear that up, the first Booker Prize was awarded in 1969

after Arthur's death.

-So, Alan, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed.

-Yes.

-They've stolen the round.

-Yep.

You now have the opportunity to make Alan's chances of winning the prize fund a little bit harder.

Let's see the final board.

You've earned the right to choose four categories to add to the board,

that's two from this round and two from Round One.

-Which four would you like Alan to play?

-What about 'Internet'?

-BOTH: Yes.

-We'll pick 'Internet'.

-'Internet' goes across. Three more.

-What about 'Family Ties'?

-Yes. We'll go 'Family Ties', as well.

'Family Ties'. Thank you.

What about 'Fruit & Veg'?

-That could be so random.

-That could be really random.

-That sounds OK to me.

-'Fruit & Veg', as well.

-'Fruit & Veg'. One more.

-What about 'Population'?

-Yes.

-Yes, sounds good.

-'Population', as well.

-And 'Population'.

-Yes.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you won the second round.

We'll see you in Round Three.

Let's have a chat about those. The internet...?

It could be anything. The internet covers so many things.

-'Family Ties'?

-I don't know. Cousins...

-Fruit & Veg?

-Fruit & Veg could be anything.

I'm not disappointed with them, but I'd rather have had a couple of the others.

There are two spaces left. The way to get those is to achieve perfection in Round Three.

-That's what I need to do.

-You can choose a couple you like.

-Let's play Round Three.

-APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-I think that's true.

-True. And finally...

-I think that's true.

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

-Good round?

-Not sure. I'm really not sure.

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

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

Vic, has he achieved perfection?

I think he's got, er, two wrong - B and C.

I don't think the 400m is an event in the heptathlon.

I think it's 800 and 1,500.

The Maldives are definitely in the Indian Ocean.

-Angela.

-I agree with Vic. The Maldives are definitely in the Indian Ocean.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

-Two out of four. Not good enough, I'm afraid.

-No.

You let the Usual Suspects in. Can they steal this round?

You can see Alan's answers. You need to change two of them.

-Which two, Usual Suspects?

-We're all pretty certain with C, aren't we? The Indian Ocean.

-We'll change C from true to false.

-Thank you, Ryan. C changes from true to false.

-We've got one more.

-I think B.

-I think it's B, as well.

-Yes? We'll change B from true to false.

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

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

HE READS A

It is true.

HE READS B

That's false. 100 metres, hurdles, high jump,

shot-put, 200 metres, long jump, javelin and 800 metres.

HE READS C

That's false.

In the Indian Ocean, as you were sure of, Vic and Angela.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Alan, they succeeded where you failed. They've stolen the round.

You have the opportunity to make Alan's chances of winning about as hard as it gets.

Let's see the final board.

Four categories chosen for the final by the Usual Suspects.

Because you won the round, you earn the right to choose the last two.

-What are you going to choose?

-Would he know about ships?

-Mm...

-Could be a good one.

-Shall we go with 'Ships'?

-We'll go for 'Ships'.

-'Ships' goes into the final. And?

'English Counties'?

-Shall we go with 'English Counties', as well?

-Yes.

-We'll go with 'English Counties'.

-'English Counties' goes in, as well.

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

OK, it's time to switch you off for the final time. See you later.

Interesting choices from them, isn't it?

-Sadly no Elvis.

-'Boxing' didn't make it in.

-No.

-You really needed to win a round.

-I knew I'd got them two wrong.

-I wish I'd took more time.

-You had a bit more time.

-I did. I answered a bit quick.

Alan, for £5,000,

-it's time to play the final.

-APPLAUSE

This is the all-important final.

If you achieve perfection, you'll leave with £5,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing, which is great news for them

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £6,000 on the next game.

-So let's play the Final Round.

-APPLAUSE

Alan, here are your final six categories...

You must answer all six correctly if you want to win the £5,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit.

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

-All right.

-Are you ready.

-Yes.

-Let's reveal your first statement. Tell me whether it's true or false.

The Internet...

I'm not sure.

I'll go false for that.

-False?

-Yes.

Family Ties...

That rings a bell. Erm...

I'm sure I've read somewhere that he is. Erm...

-I'll go with true for that.

-True.

Fruit & Veg...

Have not got a Scooby Doo about that one. Erm...

-I'm going to go true.

-True.

Population...

I'm going to say false.

False.

Ships...

-That's false. It's in Greenwich, as far as I know.

-False.

And finally, English Counties...

That's a hard one.

I'll go true. I really... It could be anything.

-True.

-I'll go for true.

And with that, all six answers are locked in.

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

-Which ones are you unsure of?

-A few of them!

-Really?

F - Buckinghamshire. I'm really not sure of that.

Definitely C. I haven't got a clue about any kind of mango.

And the top one, if I'm honest, I'm not sure about that. So three there.

-A, C and F.

-Yes.

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

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements and Alan's answers.

Alan, your answers are locked in.

If you think you've made a mistake, you can unlock them with their help. This will, however, come at a cost.

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

-Vic, please.

I know you've got two wrong,

but there are another two that I don't know about, so I'm afraid I couldn't help you.

-OK. Angela?

-You've got one wrong,

but there are two others that I am not certain about.

-I'll rule myself out, as well.

-Angela doesn't want to come down and help.

-It interesting because there's quite a bit of cash.

-Five grand, yes.

Hopefully, Ryan might come down and give me a hand.

No. Er, I think there's one wrong.

There's a few that I'm unsure of, as well.

I'm not prepared to come down. Sorry.

-Oh, well. That's it, then.

-That's a shame.

-You're on your own.

-That's it.

-£5,000 at stake. Six answers away.

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

If a statement turns green - true. If it turns red - false.

Which end do you want to start at?

-Top down.

-Top down.

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

-It's true.

-That was one of them I thought.

I'm afraid it's true. He is a co-founder of Google.

You haven't achieved perfection, which means you won't be going home with any cash.

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

Nicolas Cage is Stanley Kubrick's nephew.

You said true.

It's false.

He is the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola.

-Ah!

-That's probably what you read.

-That's where I've got mixed up.

Alphonso is a variety of mango.

-Don't know much about mangoes?

-Nothing about mangoes.

-You said true.

Is it true or false?

-True.

-Got one right.

-That's worked out all right!

The population of Japan exceeds 100 million.

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

It is true, I'm afraid.

127 million people in Japan.

The Cutty Sark is on display in Portsmouth.

-You must've got this one right.

-I'm pretty sure that's Greenwich, not far from where I live.

Is that true or false?

It's false. Absolutely.

It's on show in Greenwich, exactly as you said.

And finally...

-It's false.

-I thought that one was false!

-North Yorkshire's the largest.

-Is it really?

-Absolutely.

-Two out of six, but you had a feeling, didn't you?

-I did.

Usual Suspects, great news - the prize fund rolls over to the next game

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

APPLAUSE

You failed to achieve perfection. You go home empty-handed, other than with our thanks.

-Did you enjoy yourself?

-I did. I've made some nice friends and had a good day.

Nice to have you here. Alan, ladies and gentlemen...

APPLAUSE

Please join us next time

when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play again,

this time for £6,000. It's a tough one to win.

And remember, we only pay for perfection. Goodbye.

APPLAUSE
