Episode 25 Perfection

Welcome to the show that demands nothing less than perfection.

Behind me are four contestants

who'll be hoping their knowledge is flawless.

One single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Hello. 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 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 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 Malcolm. I'm from Northampton. I'm retired, and this is my first game.

Hi. My name's Jane. I'm from Exeter. I'm a payroll administrator, and this is my second game.

Hi. I'm Jay, from Broadstairs in Kent.

I'm a delivery driver, and this is my third game.

Hi. I'm Jax, from Carshalton in Surrey.

I'm a trading assistant and this is my fifth game.

Welcome, and best of luck, as we now find out which of you has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

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

-Jane, welcome to the show.

-Thank you.

-From Ex-eter, as they say!

-Exeter, yes.

-Exeter.

-Beautiful part of the country.

-It's fabulous. We're so lucky

because we've got the moors nearby, the beaches,

easy access onto the motorways.

-I'm lucky.

-And a few palm trees down there.

-Torquay, yeah!

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

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

Your failure means the money rolls over to the next game,

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

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

The good news is nobody won the last three games,

so the prize fund currently stands at £4,000.

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.

However, if your performance is anything less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects can step in and steal the round

making the final much harder.

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

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

You'll be against the clock. Your first answer will be locked in. Ready?

-Yes, I'm ready.

-Good. Let's play Perfection.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

Oh, God. It's not a rom-com so I'm not up on this.

-I'll say true.

-True.

-True.

-True.

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

-I don't feel confident.

-Do you not?

-No!

-Which one or ones are you worried about?

Definitely C. I wondered about A being a cricketer.

But I've got a feeling it might be rugby.

-So...

-OK. Before we reveal how well you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Jax, has she achieved perfection?

I'm not sure about C.

And A, I'm not sure if he is an England rugby union player.

Jay, can you shed any light on this?

A, Jonathan Trott is actually a cricket player for England.

And I'm not sure about C, also.

-They would be my two.

-OK. Thank you very much. Let's see how many are correct.

Three out of four's not bad. But I'm afraid it's not perfection.

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

You can steal the round, Usual Suspects.

Here are Jane's answers. You need to change just one - but which one?

-Jonathan Trott, definitely.

-Yes, Jonathan Trott.

-You two both know that exactly.

In that case, Nick, we'll choose A. We'd like to change it from true to false, please.

Thank you, Jax.

Change A from true to false, leaving B, C and D as answered by Jane.

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

Jonathan Trott is an England rugby union player. True or false?

It is false. You're right, he plays cricket for England. Well done.

And now you know how the rest of this is going to go. You can smile already, Usual Suspects.

Taylor Kitsch starred in the film John Carter.

Francis Drake sailed on the Golden Hind. True or false?

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

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

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity

to make Jane's chances of winning the prize fund much harder in the final.

Jane, this is your final board.

These six spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are your final round categories.

Now, if you'd won that round,

you could add two categories of your choice to the board.

However, the Usual Suspects won the round,

which means they choose the two categories, hoping to make the final that much harder for you.

Which two would you like, Usual Suspects?

-Comics looks quite...

-Comics.

-Comics.

-And Actors is so wide.

-It's quite wide-ranging, isn't it?

-Yeah, I'm happy with that.

-Happy with that?

-Yeah.

-OK.

In that case, we've decided on Comics and Actors, please, Nick.

Comics goes across, and Actors.

Thanks very much. Well done, Usual Suspects.

You've won the first round. Time to switch you off, but we'll see you in Round Two.

And away they go.

-Comics?

-Not bad.

-Actors?

-Like Jax said, it's such a wide subject. It could be anything.

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

Battles and Star Wars.

Which two would you choose when you achieve perfection?

-Cocktails and TV drama.

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

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-False.

-False.

-False.

-False.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

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

-Horrendous.

-Was it really?

-Yes!

I had no idea. I don't feel confident at all.

-You look so happy.

-I'm loving being here. It's a terrific experience.

-Really?

-Yeah.

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

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

Malcolm, has she achieved perfection?

I'm not absolutely certain about C and Frankincense.

-Jay?

-Something tells me that A is incorrect.

-So I'm going with that one.

-Jane, the moment of truth. Let's see how many are correct.

Three's good. Consistent.

But not quite good enough. You failed to achieve perfection

and the Usual Suspects are back in the game.

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

You need to change one. But which one?

-D is definitely right.

-Yes.

A - I think she was born in New York.

-I thought she was American as well.

-Really?

Claudius didn't invade... I think C is wrong.

-We'll go with that.

-OK.

We'd like to change C from true to false, please.

Thank you, Jax. C changes from true to false,

leaving A, B and D as answered by Jane.

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

She was born in Trinidad and Tobago, in fact.

The Roman Emperor Claudius invaded Britain. True or false?

That's true!

Interestingly, Claudius invaded in 43 AD.

Oh, dear, Usual Suspects.

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

Can you achieve perfection at home?

Let's go through those statements.

That's true.

In England, St George's Day is usually in April. True or false?

Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection,

you'd now have the opportunity to make Jane's chances of winning the prize fund that much harder.

Let's look at the board.

There are two categories already chosen by the Usual Suspects.

But because neither side won that round,

the categories that were due to be chosen are carried over. So four categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, I'm going to switch you off.

We'll see you in Round Three where you may get another chance.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Let's play Round Three.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-True.

-True.

-False.

-False.

-True.

-True.

-True.

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

-How do you think you did then?

-Still...

So despite the fact you're finding it hard, you're still having a good time?

-Oh, yeah!

-Before we reveal how well you've done,

let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Jay, has she achieved perfection?

I'm thinking that C and D are maybe incorrect.

I'll go with that.

Jax, what do you think?

I agree with Jay. I don't think she's got it this time. I'm not sure about D.

I don't think Imelda Marcos was President of the Philippines.

-Malcolm?

-Imelda Marcos, I think, was the wife of the President of the Philippines.

She wasn't president. And I think you're right about Rory McIlroy.

OK. Let's find out how many are correct.

Two out of four.

As a result of not achieving perfection,

you've let your enemies into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You need to change two answers.

I hope I'm right. I believe I am.

-I think it was a bit later, wasn't it?

-I thought it was later.

And she was definitely the wife.

Yep, we're all agreed on D.

-I think we'll go for that.

-Change those two.

-Those two. OK.

In that case, we'd like to change C from true to false.

-C from true to false.

-And also D from true to false.

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

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

Henry III was king of England in the 15th century. True or false?

He was king from 1216 to 1272.

So you know where this is going.

He actually won his first one in 2011. The US Open. As you said, a bit later on.

Imelda Marcos was President of the Philippines. True or false?

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

As you said, Malcolm, it was her husband Ferdinand who was President.

Jane, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed.

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

as hard as it can be. Let's look at the final board.

Because you won the round, you've earned the right

to choose four categories to add to this board -

two from this round and two that rolled over from the last round.

So, which four would you like her to play?

Shall we choose one each, and then agree on the fourth?

Yeah. Star Wars.

Star Wars goes into the final.

I would say Bill Gates.

Bill Gates joins the others.

Um, I'd say MI5.

MI5 goes across. We need one more.

-Battles?

-Battles, yeah.

-Yeah.

-That's wide-ranging, isn't it?

Wide, yeah.

We'd like to choose Battles as the fourth one, please, Nick.

Battles goes across.

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

OK, time to switch you off for the final time. Cheerio!

And away they go. Jane, what do you make of those?

Horrendous!

Every one I wanted to avoid!

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

Jane, the all-important final. If you achieve perfection, you could leave with £4,000.

If you fail, you could leave with nothing.

Great news for the Usual Suspects, as one of them could play for a rollover of £5,000

on the next game. Let's play the final round.

Jane, here are your six final categories.

There's no time limit, but once you give me an answer, your first answer, it's locked in.

-Do you understand?

-Yes.

Let's reveal your first statement. Comics.

I've read this somewhere recently.

Um...

-I'm going to go true.

-True.

Actors.

-I'm going to go true.

-True.

Star Wars.

-True.

-True.

I don't know why!

Bill Gates.

-True.

-True.

MI5.

He could have done!

Um, I have absolutely no idea.

-I'm going to say false.

-False.

-False.

-False.

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

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

At this stage, I normally ask which ones are you unsure of?

-All of them!

-I thought that might be the answer!

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, Jane's answers.

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

But you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will, however, come at a cost.

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

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

-Who would you like to hear from first, Jane?

-Jax, please.

I know for definite you have one wrong.

There's another one I'm not sure of.

-I don't want to risk it. I'm really sorry, but I wish the best of luck for this one.

-Thank you.

-Who else would you like to hear from?

-Jay, please.

I think you've got two, maybe three wrong.

But I'm not sure about the rest of the answers.

So I'd be putting myself at risk to come down so I'll give it a miss, I'm afraid.

And Malcolm, please.

There's certainly one wrong, Jane, I'm afraid.

There's one as well that I'm not sure about.

Even for three of your 4,000, I'm afraid I wouldn't come down.

So they think you've got some wrong. They've been wrong in the past.

And they're not prepared to help you.

The negotiation's concluded. You'll have to go it alone.

£4,000 at stake, six answers away.

Let's see if you achieved perfection.

Jax, which one did you think was wrong?

I'm sorry, Jane, but I think you've got C wrong.

It wasn't Keira Knightley, it was Natalie Portman.

-Jay, you thought a couple were wrong.

-I was looking at C.

I also believe the alter-ego is not Steve Rogers.

Malcolm, which one do you think is wrong?

F is wrong. The Battle of Agincourt was 1415.

So they don't think you've done very well, but let's find out, shall we?

Captain America is the alter-ego of Steve Rogers.

You said true. We need this to turn green to get you off to a good start.

True or false?

It's true. Very good.

So you've managed to prove one of the Usual Suspects wrong so far. Let's press on.

You said true. Is it true or false?

Yeah, I'm afraid that one is false.

John Voight is, in fact, Angelina Jolie's father.

-Jane, I'm afraid you didn't manage to achieve perfection.

-No.

So you won't win any cash today. Can you achieve perfection at home? Let's look at the answers.

That is, in fact, true.

That's another Usual Suspect proved wrong. Jax thought that was Natalie Portman.

In fact, Keira Knightley did appear in the film in a small role.

Natalie Portman was in it as well, Jax.

Jonathan Evans became the head of MI5 in 2007.

Any of you know if this is true or false?

-Don't know.

-I think it's false, but I'm not sure.

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

It's true.

He's so secret, no-one's ever heard of him!

And finally, the Battle of Agincourt was fought in 1415.

You said this was false. Malcolm thought it might be true.

True or false?

Yes, it is true.

-So when you look at it, half and half.

-50%.

-Yeah.

-50%.

-I'm pleased with that.

I think it's quite reasonable, considering the horrible questions they gave you.

Usual Suspects, great news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game,

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

Jane, for someone who's failed to achieve perfection, you've stayed very jolly.

I've met some lovely people. It's been brilliant.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for Jane!

It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hi. My name's John. I'm from London

and I'm a partner in a small creative company.

Welcome to the show, John. Good luck to all of you

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

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

Malcolm, welcome to the game.

I understand you share a passion that a friend of mine has

-for alpacas and llamas and...

-Oh, great animals.

What's the interest? They're just long-necked goats!

They're small camels. A wealthy chap like you must have worn an alpaca jumper.

It's beautiful fur. They're nice natured, apart from the spitting!

OK.

Malcolm, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

The good news is, since nobody's won the last four games,

the prize fund currently stands at £5,000.

Good luck. Three rounds and a final to come.

Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off for now

so you can't see or hear anything.

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

And away they go. Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-Then let's play Perfection.

Round One. Your 45 seconds starts now.

-No, it's on Manhattan Island.

-So you're saying?

-False.

-False.

False. I think that's Dustin Hoffman.

-False.

-Yep.

-And a great book it is. True.

-True.

Yes, it is. Higher, stronger, faster. True.

True. And with time to spare,

you answered all four. And very positively, may I say.

-Was that a good round?

-That wasn't bad.

I'm not overly happy about B.

I know he's in Rain Man,

-but we'll see.

-All right.

Before we find out how well you've done,

let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements.

Next to them are Malcolm's answers.

Jay, has he achieved perfection?

I think he's spot on, to be honest, unfortunately for us.

-John, what do you think?

-Same thing, unfortunately.

Looks good.

Vote of confidence there, Malcolm.

Let's see how many you've got correct.

Congratulations, Malcolm. You have achieved perfection.

Nicely done. Let's look at those statements in more detail and the answers.

-You think it's...

-The Statue of Liberty is on Liberty Island.

The Empire State's on Manhattan.

So you said false, and it is, of course...

For the very reasons you just said.

Tom Cruise played Mitch McDeere in Rain Man.

You said that was false. You knew he was in it.

Charlie Babbitt was his name in Rain Man.

Mitch McDeere was his character in The Firm.

-Oh, right.

-Northern Lights is a book by Philip Pullman.

We now know that's absolutely true.

And Citius, altius, fortius

is the Olympic motto.

-It translates as?

-I'm not sure if it's in that order,

but it's higher, stronger, faster.

It's actually faster, higher, stronger.

Very good. OK, Malcolm, as a result of that perfect performance,

you've made winning the prize fund a lot easier. Here's how.

This is your final board appearing.

These six spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are you final round categories.

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

Which two would you like to play in the final?

-Russia.

-Russia goes across.

-And...Opera.

-And Opera.

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

In the meantime, we'll switch you off. Cheerio!

And away they go.

Which categories are you trying to avoid?

Celebrities.

And, um...Slade.

Shall we play on?

-Absolutely.

-Let's play Round Two.

Your 45 seconds start now.

Yes, she was. Finchley North.

-Yep, true.

-True.

That's one of the few celeb things I know.

-It was Kilimanjaro. That's false.

-False.

I think that's false,

-but I wouldn't put my life on it. False.

-False.

I think that's false. I think it's carbon dioxide. False.

False. Nice time management. A bit to spare.

You answered all four statements. That felt like a slightly tougher round, to me.

-Definitely.

-Which ones are you worried about?

Um, C and D.

I can't remember if it's oxygen or carbon dioxide.

I was rubbish at science at school.

OK.

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

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

John, has he achieved perfection?

B I'm a bit dubious.

I know Cheryl Cole was doing some sort of charitable thing.

I can't remember what it was.

-Jax?

-I wish I'd paid more attention when I watched the tennis.

C, it could be true, could be false. I'm not sure.

OK, Malcolm, let's find out how many are correct.

Three's not bad, Malcolm. But it's not perfection.

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see Malcolm's answers. You need to change only one.

-But which one?

-What's your take on B?

I think B is actually false.

I think it was Kilimanjaro.

Is it C, then?

I'm happy to go with C. It's difficult to judge.

OK. Yep. All right. OK.

I hope I'm right. We'd like to change C from false to true.

Changing C from false to true,

leaving A, B and D as answered by Malcolm.

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

Cheryl Cole climbed Mont Blanc in 2009. True or false?

False. You're right, Jax.

It was Kilimanjaro. Novak Djokovic is a left-handed tennis player.

True or false?

It's false, I'm afraid.

He's right-handed, obviously. That's easy to clear up.

I'm afraid you failed to achieve perfection and steal the round.

Can you achieve perfection at home?

Yes, it is actually true.

Takes in CO2, produces oxygen. That's how it works.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection,

you'd now have the opportunity to make Malcolm's chance of winning the prize fund much harder.

Let's have a look at the board.

Two categories chosen already by Malcolm.

Because neither of you won the round,

those two categories will now be carried over to the next round.

So four categories will be on offer in Round Three.

I'll switch you off for now, Usual Suspects,

but we'll see you later.

Away they go.

Malcolm, with four categories on offer in the next round,

-it could prove crucial.

-Absolutely.

-Ready to play the next round?

-Yes, Nick.

-Let's play Round Three.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-Yeah, it's the one which follows The Iliad. True.

-True.

-Not one of my favourite bands, but true.

-True.

-Pertussis. Whooping Cough. That's true.

-True.

I think... I think that's false.

I think it's in South America.

-I'll go false.

-False.

You used your time wisely to have a think about that.

-But you weren't sure in the end.

-No.

I've got a feeling it's Guyana with a Y. We'll see.

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

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

Jay, how's he done this time?

Again, I think he's done really well, Nick.

But I've got a feeling - I hope I'm right - I actually had the album,

that Wonderwall is not the title of the album itself.

-Jax, what do you think?

-I don't think C is correct.

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

Three out of four.

Not perfection, I'm afraid.

So you've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

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

-But which one?

-I still think... It's a great song,

but I'm not sure it's the name of the album.

-Definitely Maybe.

-Do you have...

-Yeah.

-Definitely Maybe.

-I think so.

-Maybe?

-I think it's gonna be... I hope so.

I think you've both had doubts on that, so I'll go with the majority.

I'd like to change - we'd like to change - B from true to false.

Change B from true to false,

leaving A, C and D as answered by Malcolm.

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

Wonderwall is the title of an album by Oasis. True or false?

It's false.

The album is (What's The Story) Morning Glory.

You know where this is going now, Usual Suspects.

French Guiana is in West Africa. True or false?

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

French Guiana is an overseas colony of France in South America.

As you said, Malcolm. You were absolutely right.

As a result, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed.

They've stolen the round. Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity

to make Malcolm's chances of winning the prize fund that much harder. Let's see the board.

Two categories chosen by Malcolm.

Because you won that round, you can choose four categories

to add to the board. Two from this round and two carried over from the previous round.

Which four would you like Malcolm to play in the final?

Shall we choose one each then agree on the fourth?

Yeah. All right. Celebrities.

Celebrities. Thank you very much.

-Food on TV.

-Food on TV.

-I think I'll go for Big Cats, Nick.

-Big Cats.

And one more, please.

What shall we go for, guys?

-Not Slade.

-Not Slade.

-No. Not Slade.

-What about The Artist?

-Yep? Yeah. We'll choose The Artist, please.

-The Artist

becomes the sixth and final category in the final.

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

OK, time to switch you off for the final time.

They went straight for Celebrities, which you didn't want.

-But at least they avoided Slade.

-Yeah.

-You got rescued from that.

-Yeah.

I'd rather have Slade than Celebrities, but there we go!

Malcolm, for £5,000, it's time to play the final.

Malcolm, this is the all-important final.

If you can achieve perfection, you could leave with a prize fund of £5,000.

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

because one of them could play for a rollover of £6,000.

-Yep.

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

Here are your final six categories.

There's no time limit, but once you give an answer, it's locked in.

-Ready?

-OK. Yes.

-Russia.

I'm pretty sure that Gorbachev is still alive.

-I think that's false.

-False.

Opera.

It's certainly an opera.

Puccini or Verdi.

I think... It's set in China. I think that's true.

-True.

-Yeah.

Celebrities.

I think they were an item. I don't think he was married to her.

I'm gonna regret this, but false.

False.

Food on TV.

That rings a bell.

-I think that's true.

-True.

-Yeah.

Big Cats.

Over very short distances, I think that's true.

True.

Finally, The Artist.

It won a lot of awards.

11, I think, is the number that Ben Hur and Titanic won.

I don't think it won as many as that.

-I'm gonna say false on that.

-False.

-Yeah.

-Malcolm, those answers are now locked in.

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

C I'm unsure of

and not overly happy with E.

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

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

with Malcolm's answers.

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

But if you think you've made a mistake, you can unlock the board

and make changes with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will, however, come at a cost.

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

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

who would you like to hear from first?

I'd like to hear from Jax first, please.

I think you've done well, but I can see one that I think is incorrect.

I'd like to know how confident you are with the answers.

I'm pretty confident on most of them.

-If you want, I'd think about making you an offer.

-OK.

But I'd like to hear from the other two.

OK. There's currently £5,000 in the pot to play with.

It's up to you to make an offer. Who would you like to hear from next?

-Jay, please.

-How many are you not that sure about?

I'm not that sure about one of them.

Right. I'm also of the same opinion.

-I'll let John have a go.

-John, what have you got to say?

I'm with Jay. There's definitely one on there.

So are you all prepared to come down, depending on the cash debate?

There's a possibility there.

You have to decide are they bluffing or telling the truth. Do you need their help?

If so, how much do you want to offer them or do you want to start negotiations with one in particular?

-Jax, how about you?

-I'd be looking at around 3,500.

She'd like 3,500 of your 5,000. Jay, what about you?

It's a big decision. Are you definitely confident, Malcolm?

I'm pretty sure that I've only got one wrong.

Right. I'd be willing to come down for 3,000.

3,000. OK.

John. 2,500.

Tempting.

It would have to be 3,500. Sorry, it would have to be.

So, Jax and John want 3,500 and Jay is offering to come down for £3,000.

All right, Jay. 3,000.

3,000. You accept Jay's offer.

-Yes.

-OK. Business appears to have been concluded.

Jay, please come down and play for £3,000 of the 5,000 on offer.

OK, Malcolm, you've asked Jay for help.

If you achieve perfection, it will cost you £3,000 of your potential prize fund of £5,000.

Jay, you've now forfeited your chance to play in the next game. This is your only shot at winning.

-It is.

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

Here are the final round statements. All six answers are now unlocked.

Jay, which answers do you want Malcolm to change?

C. Ben Affleck was married to Jennifer Lopez.

Yeah, that was the one I was uncertain about.

-Yes.

-That's the only one I know, though!

The absolute only one I know. The rest are, no.

-I don't know any of them.

-OK, Malcolm, remember, it's still your decision.

You don't have to listen to Jay.

However, the board is now unlocked so you can change any

or all or none of your answers.

Do you want to make any changes?

Yes, C. Change false to true.

OK. C, we change false to true.

Now, before we lock the rest of the board, is there anything else you'd like to change?

-Lock 'em in.

-Lock all the rest of the answers in.

Your answers are now locked in.

£5,000 at stake. £2,000 to Malcolm and £3,000 to Jay.

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

Let's start at the top.

Mikhail Gorbachev was assassinated in 2001.

Malcolm, you said that was false.

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

Is that true or false?

It is false. Very good.

As of 2012, he is still alive.

Is that true or is that false?

Well done, mate.

You're a third of the way there. The next one is the really interesting one.

This is the one that Jay got you to change.

So let's skip over that one, shall we?

-All right!

-Let's go on to D.

You thought this rang a bell for you, Malcolm,

so you went with true. Is it true or is it false?

The winner in 2012. So here we stand, half-way towards the money.

Looking good. Let's move on to the next one.

Here we go. The 2011 film The Artist won 11 Academy Awards.

You thought maybe the film won a lot of awards, but not 11.

-Yeah.

-So you stuck with false.

-Yeah.

If this turns red, you're one away from winning the money.

So, is that true or false?

It won five awards.

Now we go back to C.

Ben Affleck was married to Jennifer Lopez.

-You wanted to avoid this whole celebrity section altogether.

-Yeah.

So when you started negotiating with the Usual Suspects,

you were looking for somebody to help you out on this one?

Yeah. Absolutely. Yep.

OK. The negotiations resulted in Jay coming down to join you.

He encouraged you to change that because he said Ben Affleck was married to Jennifer Lopez.

The question is now,

has Jay come down and helped you win the money,

or has Jay come down and taken the money away from you by making you change it?

Had you achieved perfection on your own before he arrived?

You need this to turn green.

Ben Affleck was married to Jennifer Lopez.

Is it true or false...

..for £5,000.

Come on. Come on!

It is false!

Oh, no!

The wedding was arranged, but it was cancelled before it took place.

Malcolm, if you look at the left-hand column, you have six correct answers.

-Jay, how are you feeling?

-I'm gutted. I was sure he was married to her.

I'm so sorry, Malcolm. I really am.

-One of those things.

-I'm sick as a dog.

-Yeah. Well...

-Usual Suspects, that's good news for you.

I bet you thought the money had gone. But the prize fund rolls over to the next game

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

Malcolm and Jay, you failed to achieve perfection.

I know you're not feeling great at the moment.

I usually ask at this stage if you enjoyed yourself.

It's a daft question at the moment!

Well, no, I've met some really nice people.

I've had a good time.

And the money would have been fantastic, but it's still been good.

-Jay?

-Great experience. All I can do is apologise to Malcolm.

-No, no.

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

You've both been great and very brave playing the game.

Let's hear it, please, for Jay and Malcolm, ladies and gentlemen.

Never mind, mate. Never mind.

That's all we have time for. Join us next time when our Usual Suspects have a chance to play again,

this time for £6,000. Remember, on this show, five out of six isn't good enough.

We only pay for perfection. Goodbye!
