Episode 23 Perfection

Welcome to quiz show that demands nothing less than Perfection. Behind this screen are four contestants

hoping their knowledge is flawless because one single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection!

APPLAUSE

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

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

They're in our isolation room.

In a moment we'll find out which one of them has been randomly selected

to join me here to play Perfection.

They will then face a series of true or false statements. For example, if I said...

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

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

Answering true or false might seem easy

but if the contestants get a single answer wrong,

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

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

Hi, I'm Jax, I'm from Carsholton in Surrey, I'm a trading assistant and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Mark, I'm from Ilkley, I'm a restaurant manager and this is my second game.

Hi, I'm Sharon, I'm from East Kilbride, I am a beauty advisor and this is my third game.

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

and this is my fourth game.

Welcome to you all and best of luck

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

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

APPLAUSE

Sharon, welcome. This is now 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,

because your failure will mean the prize money rolls over to the next game

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

Now, every game on Perfection is worth £1,000. Unfortunately, for you, the last game was won,

so the Prize Fund is reset to £1,000.

APPLAUSE That wouldn't be bad.

-Well, £1,000 is good by anybody's standards at the moment.

-Yeah.

-Certainly a good afternoon's work.

-What would you spend it on?

-I'd like to go a ski holiday with my son. He's learned to ski and he's good at it,

and I cannot... I'm like that. The skis go like that, they go like that...

-Everywhere.

-Doesn't happen for me, so I'd like to take him just to have that experience with him.

-So that he can teach you?

-Well, no, he'd just laugh. I think he'd quite like watching me get off the ground.

OK. Good luck with that. Here's how the game works. You'll play three rounds and then a final.

Each round you achieve Perfection will make the final easier for you.

However, if your performance is anything less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects have a chance to step in and steal the round,

making the final that much harder.

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

Each round consists of four true or false statements. You'll be answering against the clock.

-You'll only have 45 seconds. Once you've given your answer, you're first answer, it's locked in.

-Right.

-OK, if you're ready...

-As I will ever be, yes.

-Let's play Perfection!

APPLAUSE

Round 1. Your 45 seconds start now.

Oh, I'm not sure.

-I'm going to have to take a guess at that and say true.

-True.

I think that could be true, yeah.

-True?

-Yeah, I think that is. I have a vague recollection of it.

That I know! Yeah, that's true.

-You're saying...

-That is true.

-True, thank you,

And that's...my friends have one...

yeah, that's true.

-True. And with time to spare, you've answered all four statements. How was that?

-Awful!

-Really?

-In terms of nerves or the questions or...?

-In terms of nerves,

and I'm not sure about the last one now.

I'm thinking, "Oh, that could be wrong, but..." We'll give it a go.

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

So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements

and next to them are Sharon's answers.

-Jax, how's she done?

-Unfortunately, Sharon, I can see you've definitely got one wrong.

-C is definitely false. Kimberley Walsh wasn't in the Pussycat Dolls.

-Where was she, then?

-I think she was in Girls Aloud.

-Oh, yes!

-That's definitely false.

-Thank you. Angela?

-How do you think she's done?

-I'm not certain about A. I don't know how old Jennifer Capriati was

-at the time she won Wimbledon.

-OK, thank you very much. Sharon, the moment of truth.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

It's not moving.

Well, that's my worst fear, so there you go!

-OK, there's Perfection, there's somewhere in between and...

-Imperfection!

And there's that round! If you'd got just one statement correct,

the Usual Suspects would have to provide the answer to win the round.

But, Usual Suspects, there's no point in asking you to change the answers, all four are wrong.

So, automatically, you win the round.

-Let's fill in the Usual Suspects' answers which are the exact opposite of Sharon's.

-Ooh!

Let's go through them, one at a time, shall we? Jennifer Capriati won Wimbledon at the age of 17.

True or false? That was false, she's never actually won Wimbledon.

That's false. Birmingham to London, in actual fact.

False. One of Girls Aloud as Jax said.

Kimberly Wyatt is in the Pussycat Dolls.

Whilst, you're feeling bad, they all thought you'd only got one wrong, so they're not talking from on high!

It's false, I'm afraid. Different breed of animal altogether.

-It looks a bit like a smaller greyhound...

-Yeah.

-So, Usual Suspects, by default,

you have achieved Perfection!

APPLAUSE

So you now have the opportunity to make Sharon's chances of winning the Prize Fund much harder in the final.

Sharon, appearing in front of you is your Final Board.

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

Here are your final round categories appearing.

If you'd won that round,

you'd have the opportunity of choosing two categories of your choice for the board.

But because the Usual Suspects have automatically won the round,

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

-So, Usual Suspects, which two would you like to choose?

-Maybe Space Travel.

-I was going to say that.

-OK, we'll go for Space Travel.

-Space Travel goes into the final.

-And?

-Reindeer?

-Reindeer, that's a nice random one, isn't it?

-Yeah, definitely, go for that.

-We'll go for reindeer.

-Reindeer goes into the final.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you've won the first round, without doing much work!

It's time to switch you off, but we'll see you in Round 2. And away they go. Right...

The two they've chosen... Space Travel?

I'm not feeling confident with that. Reindeer?

It's a bit bizarre, but, yeah... we'll take it and see where it goes.

-How may questions can there be about reindeer?

-I'm just thinking Santa's.

Well, you've got to hope something like that, haven't you? Looking at the ones on the left there,

-which ones would you choose, given the opportunity?

-Probably Toys & Games

and maybe Comedy.

Toys & Games...you have a little one, don't you? How old is he?

He's 11 going on 40, I think.

Yes, definitely!

-Yeah, I know how that feels.

-Yeah.

OK. And the ones you're desperate to avoid on there?

Rome...and Herbal Medicine?

Well, OK, the way to avoid those ones that you don't want,

-is to achieve Perfection in the next round and choose your own categories.

-OK.

-Let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

I don't remember seeing anything on the news about it, so...

I think that would have been on the news.

-I'll say false.

-False?

No, I'm sure that's not true. He couldn't have... Oscar Wilde.

-You need to watch the time.

-Yeah. Sorry. False.

-False.

-That must be true.

-True.

Yes, true.

True.

Well done. You were frightening me at the beginning with the time you spent on the early one.

-That felt a little bit better.

-Yeah. I'm not sure about A, though. It's so strange, it might be true.

OK. We're about to find out how well you've done. Let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements and next to them are Sharon's answers.

-Mark, has she achieved Perfection this time?

-I'm not sure about A.

I think that might be true because I know they have some very random weather in the Sahara Desert.

-The others, I think she's doing OK.

-Jax, how's she done?

-I think she's done pretty well this time. I'm a little bit unsure on A and C.

-OK.

Sharon, the moment of truth. Let's see how many you got correct.

-Well, better than last time.

-Just one out of the four!

I do point out the fact that the Usual Suspects were sure that you'd got two right.

So you're in good company.

You failed to achieve Perfection and let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

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

-Which three?

-D is definitely right, isn't it?

-It's got to be A, B and C.

-A, B and C to change.

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

There have been some freaky weather conditions.

It is true, The Picture Of Dorian Gray. It's quite a good one. You'd have thought he'd have another go!

It's a terrible slur on Louis!

He wasn't expelled from Eton College, no. He wasn't, he was a very good boy at school.

Well, we know that one to be true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Oh, dear, Sharon. The Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed and they've stolen the round.

Let's see the Final Board.

Tow categories already chosen by the Usual Suspects.

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

What do you fancy, Usual Suspects?

-What are you thinking?

-Herbal Medicine?

-Herbal Medicine, yes.

-Sandie Shaw might be a little bit before her time as well.

-It might be.

-We'll have Herbal Medicine.

-Herbal Medicine goes across. And...?

-Sandie Shaw.

-And Sandie Shaw. Thanks.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have won the second round.

It's time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round 3. Away they go!

-You didn't want Herbal Medicine.

-No.

-Sandie Shaw? Before your time?

-She sang a few songs with no shoes on.

-Then again, you might know something already. This could be the round for you.

-Mmm...!

-It could be.

-Third time lucky.

-You're heading in the right direction, aren't you?

Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-One of my favourite shows, true.

-True.

-Total guess, true.

-True.

-That one's false.

-False.

-Oh, right... I think that's true.

-True.

And with plenty of time to spare and sounding very positive...

-How come you were so positive about C?

-Cos I just live a wee bit outside Glasgow.

-Just doon the road!

-So for those who don't know, the Gorbals is...?

-It's in Glasgow.

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

So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements and next to them are Sharon's answers.

-Angela, how has she done?

-I don't like those questions.

-I know she's got one right, but the three others, I'm not sure about myself.

-OK. Mark, what do you think?

-I think she's crashed and burned. She might have one right, but I don't think she did that well.

-Interesting.

-Jax?

-A and B I'm not too sure of. I don't think they're right.

-All right.

The Usual Suspects aren't very confident.

I think because they said you did reasonably well the last two times, I think they're hedging their bets!

Sharon, the moment of truth.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

Congratulations, Sharon! You have achieved Perfection!

APPLAUSE

No-one's more surprised than me.

I think there are a few people a bit more surprised on the big screen.

-Congratulations!

-Thank you.

-Really good.

Let's go from the top.

-How did you know that?

-I watched it and I loved it.

-Did you?

-The Gorbals is a district of Cardiff, because it's a district of...

-Glasgow.

-Glasgow, yes.

Very well played, Sharon. You've made winning the Prize Fund a lot easier. Let's see the Final Board.

It's currently made up of four subject categories chosen by the Usual Suspects.

But because you won that round, you've earned the right to choose the last two categories yourself.

-So which two do you fancy playing in the final?

-Toys & Games.

-Toys & Games.

-And Comedy. Those are the two that I pick.

-Lovely. Comedy goes across.

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

It's time to switch off the Usual Suspects. But we'll see you a little bit later. Cheerio.

I think that really hurt them!

They got it wrong the first two times, they were, like, "Just say she hasn't done very well!"

And then it's a perfect round! All right, for £1,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

This round is the all-important final.

If you achieve Perfection, you could be leaving with a Prize Fund of £1,000.

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

cos they could be playing for a rollover of £2,000 on the next game.

So, let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Sharon, here are your final six categories.

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

-There's no time limit, but once you've given an answer, your first answer will be locked in.

-OK.

Deep breath. Calm! You want to have the same state of mind when you answered the last round.

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

This will be a guess, just a lucky guess.

-It's true.

-True.

Oh, Hallelujah!

I know this one.

I would say that would be false.

-False?

-Yes.

You really didn't want this one.

That's true. I know that one because my son kept falling all the time on his head when he was young,

as you do! And someone recommended it for me and I went and got it.

-So you're saying it's...

-It's true.

-True.

Sandie Shaw.

-Thank you!

-True or false?

-That is true.

-True.

-Or later? Done now, done now.

-It is.

-I'm sure it was before I was born, so...

-we'll leave it at that.

-OK.

That's false.

-False?

-Yeah. That's false. My son loves Lego...

and it's either Sweden or Scandinavia, but don't shout at me. But it's definitely not Japan.

-I never shout at anybody.

-Good.

Comedy.

Don't think it is one of his. This is a guess. I'm sure that one's false.

Well, no, I'm not sure at all, but I'm saying false.

False.

And with that, Sharon, those answers are all locked in.

Remember if there's one single mistake you leave with nothing.

-Which ones are you unsure of?

-The first one, I'm not sure about that.

-And I think it might be '69 for Sandie Shaw.

-So A and D are the ones you're worried about?

-Yeah, and the last one as well.

-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 next to them are Sharon's answers.

Sharon, those answers are locked in, you can't change them by yourself,

but you can change them with the help of the Usual Suspects, but it will come at a cost.

Usual Suspects, I'm now going to ask you to tell me how well you think Sharon has done,

if you want to help, and, if you do, how much it will cost. Sharon, who would you like to hear from first?

Angela.

I think you've done really well, to be honest. I don't think you've got any wrong.

I don't think I would want to come down and take any of your money.

-That's interesting.

-Thank you.

-OK. Who would you like to hear from next?

-Er, Jax.

There's two answers I'm not too sure about.

I don't know it well enough. I wouldn't be 100% correct,

-so I don't want to come down and take your money. I'm going to sit out for this one.

-OK.

-Mark.

-I definitely know that five of them you've got right, one I'm not sure of the answer myself,

so I think you should go it alone.

-OK.

-Wow!

-Thank you.

-It's a real vote of confidence from them, isn't it?

Or it means they want the money to roll over. Either way, they're not prepared to come down and help,

so you're on your own. £1,000 at stake, six answers away.

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

You've seen the game before, so where do you think I'm going to start?

I think you're going to start at B.

-Why's that?

-Because I'm not sure about the first one. That's the make-or-break.

-That's taking home some money or not.

-Wow! OK...

so let's start at B...

-You rotter!

-Ranter and Bellman were two of Santa's reindeer.

You were very pleased with this, you were hoping the reindeer question would be about Santa.

Let's get you off to a good start. You said false. We need this to turn red. Is it true or false?

It is false. Very good.

-It's the name of two of John Peel's dogs.

-Oh, right?

-Now, this next one, you particularly didn't want this subject, did you?

-No.

-Because you knew nothing about Herbal Medicine?

-Or so I thought!

And you actually said, "I hope they don't pick Herbal Medicine."

-They almost immediately did.

-Yeah.

-But you've used arnica on your son, is that right?

-Yeah.

For his bruises.

You said that was true because you've used it. Is it true or false?

It's true, very well done.

APPLAUSE

All right. Well, let's see if we can get you halfway towards the £1,000.

Now, you were worried about this because you said it might have been later,

but it was before you were born sometime, so...maybe...

You said true. Is it true or false?

It's true. Very well done.

APPLAUSE

Let's have a chat about money. £1,000, does that mean a lot to you at the moment?

Yes, it does. I haven't got it, so...it would be brilliant.

And it would be towards the holiday and some ski lessons, so...

and to see my son's face and say, "I won some money!"

OK. Well, very good luck with that. Let's go on and see if you've managed to achieve it.

-This is one of the subjects you chose for yourself.

-Mm-hm.

And you were fairly sure it was a Scandinavian invention, not a Japanese invention.

So you said false.

Is it true or false?

-It is false.

-APPLAUSE

-Very good! Invented in Denmark, by the way, so...

-Right, OK.

Now, this last one, F, was one of the ones you were worried about.

You realise now that if this is right, you're one away from the £1,000, all on your own?

-Yeah.

-So, let's find out.

We need this to turn red. Is it true or false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

It's Al Murray who plays The Pub Landlord, not Steve Coogan.

So what normally happens when I step over one and come back to it?

It means, "Bye-bye, Sharon, no money!"

-You think that's what it means? You think I hopped over that because you've got that one wrong?

-Uh-huh.

Yeah, and make my heart go...

-And how's your heart going?

-I'm surprised you can't hear it.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-So this is a big deal, is it, the £1,000?

-To me, it's great. £1,000...

To walk away with something would be amazing.

Well, I think you walk away with a great deal of pride. Five out of six in a final

is something to be proud of anyway. You achieved a perfect round, that's something to be proud of.

You had a tough time in the early part. You showed some character and came through.

Let's see if we can add £1,000 to that to take away

and maybe go for a skiing holiday with your son to boot.

Here we go.

You said you weren't sure if this was true.

Yeah.

We need this to turn green for you to walk away with £1,000.

If it turns red, you walk away with nothing

and the money rolls over to the next game for the Usual Suspects.

Is it true or false for £1,000?

It's true! Congratulations! You have achieved Perfection and £1,000!

APPLAUSE

Oh, my God!

-I can't believe I got them all!

-Congratulations!

Unfortunately for you, Usual Suspects, the Prize Fund has been won,

so we reset the total back to £1,000 for the next game, but she played very well, didn't she, in the end?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Yes, great comeback. Congratulations, Sharon.

-Thank you.

You have achieved Perfection and you are leaving with £1,000. Let's hear it for Sharon, everybody!

APPLAUSE

I think it's rare that I've ever seen anyone so happy about it.

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

-New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.Hi, my name's Keith, I'm from London,

-I teach English and this is my first show.

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

Keith, it's you. Please come and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

-Keith, welcome to the game. Let's find out a little bit more about you. You're an English teacher.

-Yes.

Teaching's a tough game, I'd have thought. I don't think I'd have the patience for it.

Teaching English to foreign students, I think we get a bit more freedom with what we teach them,

so it can be fun as well as sticking to the syllabus.

-I like to use games in my lessons as much as I can.

-Yeah, make it entertaining as you're going along.

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

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

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Unfortunately, for you, the last game was won, so the Prize Fund currently stands at £1,000.

APPLAUSE

-What would you spend the money on, Keith?

-I'd love to go to Machu Picchu or Iguazu Falls

-or maybe both.

-And where are they?

-Border of Brazil and Paraguay.

-OK. So you have a South American interest?

-Yeah, I did Spanish at university,

-so that's one reason why I fancy going there.

-All right. Fantastic. Good luck.

-Thank you.

-Three rounds and a final to come.

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

but as soon as Keith makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah, I'm ready.

-Then, let's play Perfection!

APPLAUSE

Round 1. Your 45 seconds start now.

-True.

-True.

I don't think that's right.

I've got the impression it's something to do with a mouse, it might be Mickey Mouse, so false.

False.

True.

True.

I've never heard of it, but I'm going to say false.

False, and with time to spare, you've answered all four statements. How was that round?

-I'm not sure about A now that I think about it. The rest, OK maybe.

-OK.

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

So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements and next to them are Keith's answers.

-Jax, how's he done?

-Maybe C might not be true, but I'm not sure. I think he's done really well.

-Mark?

-The only one I'm not sure about is B, because I've never watched Popeye in Italy.

-Yes.

-Angela?

-I think he's got Perfection, but unsure about B.

Sort of vote of confidence for you there, Keith, from the Usual Suspects.

It is the moment of truth.

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

Let's see how many are correct.

Three of out of four's not bad, but, Keith, it's not Perfection.

And as a result you've let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

Usual Suspects, you can see Keith's answers. You only need to change one of them, but which one?

-Popeye?

-Yeah.

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

B changes from false to true, leaving A, C and D as Keith answered.

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

Is that true or false?

It's true.

Not such a daft answer, after all, Keith.

Is that true or false?

It's false!

It is, as you said, Mickey Mouse.

Oh, dear, Usual Suspects! You had the chance to steal the round from Keith,

but you failed to achieve Perfection. Did you manage to achieve Perfection at home?

Let's have a look.

Yeah, that's true.

Is that true or false?

That actually is true.

Keith, appearing before you is your Final Board.

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

Here are the Final Round categories appearing.

Now, because neither side won the round,

the two categories that were due to be chosen now will be carried over to the next round,

meaning four categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you off. You had a chance, you missed it there.

I wonder whether you'll get a chance in Round 2. That's when we'll see you next.

And away they go. Keith, with the Usual Suspects gone, let's have a chat through those categories.

-Sure.

-Which two would you really like to avoid?

Black Lace and probably Benny Hill.

And ones you'll be picking if you get the opportunity?

Pacific Islands and probably Latin Phrases.

Well, remember, Keith, in order to win the Prize Fund, you'll need to answer all six statements correctly.

Winning this next round could prove crucial with four categories on offer.

-Shall we press on?

-Yeah, let's do it.

-Let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-I wouldn't be at all surprised. I'll say true.

-True.

-I know that's true.

-True.

-Yep.

-I know that's true as well.

-True.

-I think he was earlier than that. I'll say false for that one.

-False.

And with loads time to spare, you've answered all four statements. Anything you're worried about?

The fourth one, the Geoffrey Chaucer question.

Well, I suppose really... being an English teacher...

I don't cover much English literature and certainly not that old!

I think you'd probably confuse foreign students if you started bringing Chaucer into it. OK.

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

So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements and next to them are Keith's answers.

-Mark, has he achieved Perfection this time?

-I think he's done very well.

-The only one I'm not sure about is D.

-That's interesting.

-Jax, what do you think?

-I'm not sure about A.

I don't know whether someone would get buried in their cape,

but maybe, it's a possibility.

All right, Keith, the moment of truth.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four again. Consistent, Keith, but consistently not quite Perfection.

As a result, the Usual Suspects are back in the game. Can you steal the round?

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

-I think D.

-Has to be D, then.

We'd like to change D from false to true.

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

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

Yes, it is true, actually.

Of course, that's true.

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

It is true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

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

Let's look at the Final Board. Now, because you won the round

you've earned the right to choose four categories to add to the board.

That's two from this round and two that carried over from Round 1.

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

-What do you think?

-How are you thinking?

He's obviously not very good at historic languages. I think Latin Phrases might be a...

-Latin Phrases.

-OK, we'll go with that.

-OK, we'll go with Latin Phrases.

-Latin Phrases goes across.

-What do you think of Aviation?

-Yeah, that's be a good choice.

-We'll go Aviation.

-Aviation goes across.

How about Norse Explorers?

-Yes, I'm happy to go with that.

-Is that all right?

-Norse Explorers.

-Norse Explorers. One more?

-What would you reckon?

-Wrestlers? He doesn't look like a wrestling fan to me.

-We'll have Wrestlers as well.

-And Wrestlers. Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You won the second round.

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

-And away they go. That's interesting, that worked out quite well for you, didn't it?

-Not bad.

The thing about Latin Phrases is if you teach English, then you have learned a certain amount of Latin.

-And I did Latin at school as well.

-There you go. Aviation?

-Yeah, maybe.

-Norse Explorers?

-I can think of one or two.

-Are you a fan of the wrestling?

I do a bit of wrestling but I don't really know much about the grunt-and-groan guys on TV.

-Have you really?

-Yeah.

-What, you've a sort of leotard thing going on? Really?

-Yeah.

-A spangly one?

-I know it sounds dreadful.

-No, no, not spangly. Did you have a wrestling name?

-No.

-OK. You still have one more round to find Perfection and choose your own categories for the final,

-which can only be a good thing, can't it?

-Yeah.

-Are you ready to play the next round?

-I am.

-Good, let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-I'll say true for that one.

-True.

-I can't imagine that so I'll say false.

-False.

-That's true.

-True.

-Definitely, yeah.

-That's not true, that's false.

-False. And with loads time to spare, you've answered all four.

-You were very quick on caballo.

-Well, I did Spanish at university,

-so I'd be horrified if I got that one wrong.

-That's worked out quite well, then. You were very good on D.

-Anything worrying you there?

-A. I'm not too good on pantomimes.

All right. Well, before we reveal how well you've done, it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements and next to them are Keith's answers.

-Angela, has he achieved Perfection?

-I think he has, yes.

-OK. Mark?

If it was me, I'd change B from false to true.

That's interesting. Jax, what do you think?

I recognise Widow Twankey, but I don't think it's Aladdin, so I'd say that's false.

-Any idea which one it is if you think it's something else?

-It might be Cinderella.

Keith, the moment of truth.

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! You'd think you'd get points for consistency, but you don't!

You failed to achieve Perfection and you let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

Can you steal the round? You can see Keith's answers. You need to change one, but which one?

-I think Widow Twankey is in Aladdin.

-I would go B.

-Anthony Hopkins, you think that's true?

-Yeah.

-We all agreed, change B?

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

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

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

It's true.

Oh, no, it isn't! Oh, yes, it is!

It is true.

That's true.

You know where this is going, Usual Suspects.

That's false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

Bermuda is of course in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean.

Oh, dear, the Usual Suspects have achieved Perfection and stolen the round.

Let's have a look at the Final Board.

Four subject categories already chosen, all by the Usual Suspects,

and you make it a clean sweep now by choosing the last two as well, because you won that round.

-Which two would you like?

-Maybe UK Politics.

-The questions tend to be a bit random.

-UK Politics, yes.

-UK Politics goes across.

-Flowers?

-Yeah, Flowers.

We'll go Flowers for the last one.

Flowers goes across. OK, we now know our six final categories. They are...

OK, guys, well done. Time to switch you off and we'll see you a bit later.

And away they go. What do you make of those last two, UK Politics and Flowers?

-Not keen, but you never know.

-You never know.

Keith, for £1,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

Keith, this is the all-important final.

If you can achieve Perfection, you could be leaving with a Prize Fund of £1,000.

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

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £2,000 on the next game.

That's what they're hoping for. So, let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Keith, here are your final six categories.

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

-There's no time limit, but once you've given an answer, your first answer will be locked in.

-Mm-hm.

-You ready?

-Yes, I am.

-Then, let's reveal your first statement.

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

-No, it means "seize the day", so that's false.

-False.

I've heard of her, I've heard of the plane...

I'll say true for that one.

-True.

-Yeah.

They say he was the first European to get to North America.

-I don't believe he ever went to China, so false.

-False.

Well, it sounds like a good American name.

-Er...I'll go true.

-True.

I'd have thought that was in Downing Street.

-I'll go false.

-False.

-Well, it grows in the Alps because it's in The Sound Of Music, isn't it? I'll say true.

-True.

And with that, your answers are locked in.

Remember if there's one single mistake you leave with nothing.

Which ones are you unsure of?

B and D, particularly.

B and D. Well, let's bring back the Usual Suspects and see what they've got to say.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements and next to them are Keith's answers.

Keith, your answers are locked in, you can't change them by yourself,

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

This will, of course, come at a cost.

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

-Mark, please.

Keith, I think you've done really well, but I think you've been really consistent as well,

-I think you've got one wrong.

-Does that translate into an offer to come down and help out, Mark?

I'm not sure enough in the one that I'm not sure about to commit myself to come down, so...

-So you're ruling yourself out?

-Yeah.

-OK.

-Angela.

I think you've also got one wrong,

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

-so I would rule myself out.

-No help from Mark or Angela.

-And Jax?

-Again, I have to agree with the others.

I think there's one you've definitely got wrong,

but there's one other one I'm not sure about, and I'm not confident enough.

-I'm sorry, I'm not going to come down this time.

-That's interesting.

-They're not prepared to come and help, so the negotiations are over.

-OK, fair enough.

£1,000 at stake, six answers away. Let's find out if you've achieved Perfection.

You were very certain of this one, and you said it was false because you believe it means...

-Seize the day.

-Is it true or is it false?

It's false. Very well done.

APPLAUSE

B and D were the ones you were not very confident about, so let's hop over that for the moment

and go on to the next one.

I thought this was quite a tough question, but your answer suggested you know a bit about Leif Erikson.

Yeah, I remember reading something about it when I was at school,

and I was interested in the fact that some people say he was the first European to get to North America,

-but I don't think he went to China.

-So you said false.

Is it true or is it false?

It is false. Very well done.

He is regarded as the first European to land in North America,

but no sense of him going to China. So very well done.

Then there's the wrestling story which despite doing a bit of wrestling yourself,

you weren't very sure about, so we'll hop over that as well and go to the next one.

So is it true or is it false?

It is false, very well done.

And you're quite right, it is in Downing Street.

So you are halfway to £1,000. What would you spend the money on?

I'd like to go to South America to Iguazu or Machu Picchu.

-These Falls that you're talking about, are they particularly impressive?

-I believe so, yeah.

I've seen them on television and on pictures and they look quite spectacular.

OK, well, very good luck with that. Edelweiss is the national flower of Austria.

You said this was true because...

It's a song in The Sound Of Music which was filmed in Austria and it grows in the Alps,

-so it could well be.

-A pretty good rationale for saying true.

Is it true or is it false?

It's true. Very good reasoning.

APPLAUSE

-Have we passed the one that you thought was wrong, Angela?

-Not yet.

-Which one did you think was wrong?

-The Hulk Hogan one.

-Really? Jax? Which one did you think was wrong?

-I thought it was C as well.

-Mark? Are you a fan of the wrestling?

No, but that was the one I wasn't sure about.

Yeah, seems to be a general feeling that D might be the one.

Let's deal with B first, then, shall we?

You said this was true. A guess at this stage, or did you have something to go on?

Only the fact that I've heard of her name and the name of the plane,

and they're both in aviation history, so...I kind of put two and two together, and, hopefully, made four.

Yeah, well, hopefully you've put two and two together, and made five out of six!

That's what you're looking for. If this is true, as you say, it'll turn green,

and you'll be one away from the £1,000.

If it turns red, you've lost the money and it rolls over to the next round for the Usual Suspects.

So is that true or is it false?

It's false, I'm afraid.

Keith, you haven't achieved Perfection, and, as a result, you haven't won the money.

Charles Lindbergh's plane was Spirit Of Saint Louis.

Can you still achieve Perfection at home?

Let's deal with the last statement and answer.

This was the one that the Usual Suspects were worried about as well.

Is that true or false?

Yeah, that's false as well. Dwayne is actually the first name of The Rock,

the wrestler, The Rock. Hulk Hogan's real name is a terrifying name, it's Terry.

Usual Suspects, that's great news for you. The Prize Fund rolls over to the next game

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

APPLAUSE

Keith, I'm sorry you failed to achieve Perfection which means you go home with nothing

-but our thanks for playing. Did you enjoy yourself?

-It was great fun, yeah.

Keith, ladies and gentlemen.

APPLAUSE

Well, that's all we have time for. Please join us next time

when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play again, this time for £2,000,

but remember on this show we only pay for Perfection. Goodbye.
