Episode 28 Perfection

Welcome to the show that demands nothing less than Perfection.

These four contestants are hoping that 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 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 London is further north than New York

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 an answer wrong,

their opponents, the Usual Suspects, will be allowed into the game

to capitalise on their mistake.

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

Hello, I'm Jen from March in Cambridgeshire.

I'm a retired club steward and this is my first game.

Hello, I'm Tony, I'm from Essex, I'm a retired gardener

and this is my second game.

Hello, I'm Keith, I'm from Oldbury in the West Midlands.

I'm a driving examiner and this is my second game.

Hi, I'm Rob, I'm from Solihull in the West Midlands,

I'm a student and this is my third game.

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

-Rob, it's you. Please come down and play Perfection.

-APPLAUSE

-Rob, welcome to the show.

-Thank you.

-Sociology student, is it?

-Sociology, that's right, yeah.

-How much longer have you got to do on that?

-I've just finished my second year of a three-year course.

-OK. Another year to do.

-One more year to go, yeah.

-Enjoying it?

-Loving it at the moment,, yeah.

-OK.

Well, 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...

-Cool.

-..because your failure means the money rolls over to the next round...

-Sure.

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

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

-Here's the good news. No-one's won the last nine games.

-Oh, wow.

The prize fund currently stands at £10,00.

APPLAUSE

Here's how it works. You'll play three rounds, then a final.

Every 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 for you.

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

Each round consists of four true or false statements.

You're answering against the clock. You have 45 seconds

-and once you've given your answers, your first answer, they're locked in.

-Sure.

-Are you ready?

-I am ready, yeah.

-Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round One. Your 45 seconds starts now.

That's false. I believe he wrote it.

False.

I went to it when I went to Denmark. It's true.

True.

Erm... That could quite easily be true. I'll say true.

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

Five seems like a fair amount. Erm...

-Yeah, I'm going to say true for that one.

-True.

And with time to spare, you have answered all four statements.

-That felt like a very comfortable round.

-All right, yeah.

-Yeah? The last one was a bit of a guess.

-Yeah.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was five times

but it may well be four or six or something.

Yeah - who knows.

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 Rob's answers.

Tony, has he got them all right?

Er, no, D is wrong.

I think Red Rum won the Grand National three times.

-Jen, what do you think?

-I agree with Tony. D is wrong. Three times.

Rob, they might be right, they might be wrong.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Just two out of four. You didn't manage Perfection.

You've now let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, you can see Rob's answers.

You need to change two of them but which two?

-C and D.

-C and D, I'd say.

-C. Tivoli Gardens are in Copenhagen.

-OK.

-Bram Stoker wrote Dracula.

-Yes, that's right.

I'm going to listen to my two team-mates.

They seem a lot more knowledgeable than me at the moment,

-so we'll change C to false...

-C changes from true to false.

..and we'll change D to false as well, please.

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

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

Bram Stoker played Dracula in silent films. True or false?

Of course that's false. He wrote it, as Tony and Rob said.

Tivoli Gardens is an amusement park in Copenhagen.

True or false?

-It is of course true, as you well knew, Rob.

-Yeah.

And the first traffic lights were erected in the 1920s. True or false?

That's false. First erected in London in 1868.

And Red Rum won the Grand National five times. True or false?

It's false.

-Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

-APPLAUSE

You had a feeling about that. Red Rum won the Grand National three times.

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

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

and here's how.

Appearing before you, Rob, is your final board.

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

Here are your final round categories,

starting with America, running through Politics, Samuel L Jackson and on to TV Presenters,

with many more in between.

Now, if you'd won that round, you could have added two categories of your choice to the board.

But the Usual Suspects nicked it, so they choose two categories,

hoping to make the final harder for you to win.

Usual Suspects, which two would you like?

-What about Romcoms? I don't think he'd be interested in those.

-Romcoms, Nick, please.

Romcoms goes across.

-Motor Racing?

-He might like it.

-It's difficult, isn't it?

All right - go with that, then.

We'll go with Motor Racing, please, Nick.

Motor Racing goes across into the final.

Well done, Usual Suspects. You've won the first round. Time to switch you off. Bye.

-Romcoms?

-Ashamedly, not too bad.

Ah! Do you follow motor racing at all?

Er, loosely, yeah. I think it could have been worse,

so I'm going to take that as a good thing.

Talking of worse, which two are you desperate to avoid?

Mythology's not amazing.

The other ones are quite on a par for me, really.

That's good. And which two do you really fancy?

Er, TV Presenters would be awesome and '80s Music would be all right.

And '80s Music. All right.

-Are you ready?

-I am, yeah.

-Let's play Round Two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

That sounds familiar. I'm going to say true.

True.

-I'm going to say false for that one.

-False.

Erm... That sounds about right. I'll say that's true.

True. And finally...

I'm certain, yeah. True.

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

-You sounded comfortable with those.

-Yeah.

-Anything you're worried about?

-B, maybe? I don't... Yeah.

-A little worried about B.

-Yeah.

All right. Before we reveal how well you've done, we'll bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Rob's answers.

Tony, has he achieved Perfection?

I think C is wrong but I'm not sure.

-Keith?

-I don't think he's achieved Perfection on this occasion.

I think C is wrong.

All right, let's find out how many are correct.

-APPLAUSE

-Congratulations! You've achieved Perfection, Rob!

Let's have a look at those answers.

The Gift is the title of an album by Susan Boyle.

That is of course true.

The adult human body has over 500 bones.

You said that's false and of course it is false.

-There are 206 bones in total, so that was way too many.

-Yeah.

Gustav Klimt was born in Austria.

You said that sounded kind of right

and it turned out to be true.

And Jakarta is the capital of Indonesia.

You seemed very positive this was true and it is true.

So as a result of that perfect performance,

you've made winning that prize fund of £10,000 a lot easier.

Let's have a look at your final board.

There are two categories already chosen by the Usual Suspects for you

and now you get to choose the next two categories to go into the final.

Which two do you fancy?

-I'm going to say TV Presenters.

-TV Presenters goes across.

-I'll say 1980s Music.

-And 1980s Music.

Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you off but we'll see you in the next round. Cheerio.

And away they go.

Rob, well done. By choosing your own categories, you've hopefully made the final easier.

-Ready for the next round?

-I believe so, yeah.

Why not? Let's play Round Three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-True.

-True.

I voted in the last one. I'm just trying to think.

Erm... True.

True.

-I think it was another wife. I'm going to say false.

-False.

Er, I've listened to it a couple of times. That's true.

True.

-And again with time to spare, you've answered all four. Happy with that?

-Relatively.

-Yeah? OK.

Before we reveal how well you did, we'll bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Jen, has he achieved Perfection?

I think he might have done.

I've never seen turkey eggs on sale, I must admit.

Keith, what do you think?

I think Rob's done well. I think he's got Perfection once again.

Thank you very much. Rob, how many are correct?

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

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal this round?

You can see Rob's answers. You need to change one but which one?

It's either going to be A or D, I think.

-I'm going to go with A, then.

-I would go for A.

-Shall we change that?

-Change that.

-OK.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

OK, Nick, we're going to change A from true to false, please.

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

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

Turkey eggs are inedible. Is that true or false?

It's false, in actual fact. You're absolutely right.

They just lay fewer eggs, so commercially you're better to sell them as birds.

But it is odd that we don't them at all, isn't it,

given that they are edible.

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

UK general elections are usually held on a Thursday. True or false?

Of course that's true.

Henry VIII was outlived by Jane Seymour. That's false, of course.

Third wife, so died before him.

Nevermind was a hit album by Nirvana.

You said that was true, Rob, and it is true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Rob, because the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed, they've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you can now make Rob's chances of winning the prize fund much harder.

Let's see the final board.

Four categories on there

but because you won the round, you choose the last two categories

to add to the board to try and trip Rob up in the final.

So, which two would you like?

-OK.

-What about Cookery?

-Cookery?

-Cookery, please, Nick.

-Cookery goes across. And...?

-Politics or Pets? Pets?

-One of the Ps.

-One of the Ps.

-Pick a P.

-I'd have said Politics.

I'll have a P, please, Nick. Er, Pets.

Pets, you went for in the end. OK, Pets goes across.

We now know our six final categories. They are:

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

And away they go.

-What do you make of those - Cookery and Pets?

-I'm just glad they didn't go for Mythology.

Not amazing but not disastrous, so who knows?

Well, Rob, for £10,000 it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

Rob, if you can achieve Perfection, you'll be leaving with £10,000.

If you fail, you'll be leaving with nothing,

which will be great news for the Usual Suspects

as one of them could be here playing for a rollover of £11,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Rob, here are your final six categories:

Think carefully. There's no time limit but once you've given an answer, it's locked in.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah, I am.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

Romcoms.

-Yeah, I'll say true for that.

-True.

Motor Racing.

In theory that's quite logical but...

I'm getting a bit of a gut instinct which is saying not so.

For that reason I'm going to say false.

False.

TV Presenters.

She may well have done. Erm...

I'll say true, maybe.

-True.

-True.

1980s Music.

Er... Six is a lot.

I know they had a few, whether it's six...

I don't think so. I'll say false.

False.

Cookery.

Moussaka... I think it's Moroccan.

Erm... I'm going to say false.

False. And finally, Pets.

I think I've heard somewhere, I don't know where,

that might be true.

-I'll lock in true.

-So you're saying true.

That's right, yeah.

Rob, those answers are now locked in.

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

-Yeah.

-Which ones are you unsure of?

-Pretty Woman, A, and the Indy 500.

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

Usual Suspects, you can now see the statements and Rob's answers.

Rob, your answers are now locked in and you can't change them

but if you think you've made a mistake

you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects but at a cost.

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

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

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

-I'd like to hear from Tony, first, please.

I'm afraid I can't really help you. I know you've got one right

and there are at least three that I'm not sure of,

so I wouldn't really be able to help you. I'm sorry.

Er, I'd like to speak to Jen, please.

Well, I know you've definitely got one wrong.

To be honest, I don't think I would be any help if I did come down,

so I'm going to rule myself out - sorry.

I'd like to speak to Keith, please.

How confident are you feeling? I can see you've got one wrong.

How confident are you feeling yourself with the other answers?

I'm fairly confident on at least two or three,

maybe four.

The one that I know is wrong I can put right.

Right. How confident are you?

I'm 100% confident with the one.

What would you be offering me to come down, Rob?

Er, I'd probably draw down a line of five grand.

-Half and half.

-£5,000 each is the offer.

Oh...

It's so, so tempting.

Rob, I'm going to come down for 5,000 and let's try and do it between us, then.

-Let's go 50:50, yeah?

-Yeah, OK.

-Is that agreed?

-That's agreed.

OK, negotiations are over.

For £5,000 of the £10,000 pot, Keith, please come and join us.

APPLAUSE

OK, you've asked Keith for help.

If you achieve Perfection, it will cost you £5,000 of your potential prize fund of £10,000.

Keith, you've now forfeited your chance to play in the next game.

This is your only shot at 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.

Keith, Rob, have a chat about what you want to change or keep.

-What's the one?

-Right, I honestly thought B.

-B.

I would have no kind of discomfort in changing that to true.

-Right.

-Erm... In terms of the other ones, Carol Vorderman...

-I'm sure she's hosted it.

-I'm sure she's hosted it.

-Culture Club...

-Six is a lot.

-It is a lot.

-They've not had six number ones.

-And number ones. Maybe top ten.

What's your cooking like? Aubergines in moussaka?

Could potentially change that, maybe. We'll come back to that one.

-A chinchilla is a rodent.

-That's true.

-OK.

And then that leaves Vivian Ward.

I guess, Vivian Ward, it sounds very kind of...

-So you're not sure on Vivian Ward?

-That's the one, yeah.

-Right.

But I'm happy to change Indy 500.

My gut instinct is telling me that it is a race of 500 laps.

OK, we'll change B from false to true, then.

-I'm happy with that.

-OK.

B changes from false to true.

-Any others?

-I think that's as confident as I'm going to be.

-I don't know about yourself.

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-Let's lock them in.

-All the other answers are now locked in.

£10,000 at stake, £5,000 to Rob, £5,000 to Keith, six answers away.

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

Before we start, what's interesting is

you talked about E, at one stage you said, "Yes, we'll change that one,"

yet when you came to the end, you said lock them in and you didn't really talk about it again.

I don't know. I think to an extent that's my mind playing tricks on me,

-so that's why I went with my gut.

-OK.

-And I'd regret changing it.

All right. Let's dive straight in and find out whether it was right for you to come down and join in,

whether you've actually helped out

or whether you've gone the wrong way.

So, we'll start with that one, the only one that you changed.

The Indy 500 is a race of 500 laps.

Now, originally, Rob, you said that was false.

You had a gut feeling that that was false

but Keith came down, this is the one he was sure of,

the one he wanted to get you to change.

If it turns green, it's been worth having Keith come and join you

and you're on your way to the £10,000.

If it turns red, he's taken you away from a correct answer.

So is it true or is it false?

-It's false.

-GROANING

-I'm so sorry.

-Don't worry.

It's a race of 500 miles, which is 200 laps.

The question is now could you have actually won this on your own?

Did you have all correct answers or did you need some help to get there?

I wonder whether you had an all-correct board?

Vivian Ward is a character in Pretty Woman.

You thought this was true.

Is that true or false?

Yeah, it's true. Very well done.

Carol Vorderman has hosted Have I Got News For You.

Is that true or false?

That's true.

Culture Club had six UK number one singles in the 1980s.

You thought that was false. Keith certainly didn't want you to change this one.

Is that true or false?

That's false.

They only had two number one singles in the 1980s.

You can cut the tension with a knife here at the moment.

-I'm so sorry.

-Don't worry.

Moussaka contains aubergines.

I'm going to hop over that and go on to chinchilla.

A chinchilla is a rodent. You were both confident that this was true.

If this turns green, you're one away from having an all-correct board

on your own but of course it isn't all correct now

and you haven't won any money.

A chinchilla is a rodent. Is that true or false?

That's true.

The question is, did you have a completely correct board on your own?

Traditional moussaka contains aubergines.

If this goes red, you would have won the cash all on your own.

-If it goes green...

-It's fine.

-..you'd have lost it anyway

and it's not quite so hard on Keith, who's come down and changed one.

Traditional moussaka contains aubergines. Is that true or false?

It's true. You wouldn't have actually won on your own.

You did need someone to come and help you.

Keith came down to help, he's missed out on the chance to win some money in the next game.

Usual Suspects, that's good news for you.

The prize fund rolls over and one of you could be playing for £11,000.

APPLAUSE

-How are you feeling, Keith?

-Absolutely sick.

You got that one wrong when you came down

but if that had been a completely clear board for Rob,

-you'd have felt worse.

-Oh, even more sick.

-I met some wonderful people.

-It's been awesome. An amazing experience.

-It's been a great day.

We loved having you. Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for Keith and Rob.

APPLAUSE

It's now time to time to meet the next Usual Suspects

hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspects, please introduce yourselves.

Hi, I'm Grant from Killamarsh near Sheffield

and I'm a stockbroker and IFA.

Hi, my name is Gwen, I'm from Cardiff and I'm a student.

Welcome to the game. Best of luck to all of you

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

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

-APPLAUSE

Jen, welcome to the game. You looked very excited when you were selected.

-Oh, yes!

-It looked like it came as a complete shock.

-It was still nice.

-Really?

You must have a strong personality,

all those years looking after people in the working men's clubs,

-bringing them to order.

-Yeah.

-Well, I'm... You know... It's a social job as well as a hard-working job.

-Yeah.

-I imagine it probably is.

-Yeah. Long hours.

-You have an interest in theatre, as well, don't you?

-Well, not myself personally

but my dad was a stage director of a local operatic society for many years

and I've always harboured a dream that if I won millions,

I would like to build a purpose-built little theatre

in our town.

You might get a very large shed if you win today.

Yes, I don't think it's going to happen today

but you never know.

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

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

The good news is that nobody has won the last ten games.

-The prize fund currently stands at £11,000.

-APPLAUSE

Wow!

Good luck. Three rounds and a final to come.

Usual Suspects, we're switching you off so you can't see or hear anything

but as soon as Jen makes a mistake, you will be back in the game. Cheerio.

And away they go.

-Are you ready to play?

-Yes.

-OK, then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round One. Your 45 seconds start now.

That's Russia, isn't it? Russia, Black Sea...

-True.

-True.

-False.

-False.

-2.2 pounds. False.

-False.

-True.

-True.

You've answered all four statements. That sounded very positive.

-I wasn't too sure about A.

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

-Oh, and B.

-And B, maybe, as well?

-Yeah.

All right, 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 Jen's answers.

Tony, has she achieved Perfection?

I think she has, yes.

-Gwen, do you agree?

-Yes, I think she has done very well.

The only one I'd be a little bit concerned about is B

but I'm not sure I think she has got Perfection.

Grant, can you shed any light on this?

Pete Doherty was the founder of Babyshambles, I believe,

so I think she's got Perfection as well, yes.

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

-Oh!

-Just two out of four. Certainly not Perfection.

-No!

-You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You need to change two of Jen's answers. Which two?

-Well, A is correct.

-C is definitely correct.

-And C is correct.

-So we change B and D.

-Yeah.

-Yeah. B and D.

-Yeah.

-B and D.

-Yeah, I'm happy with that.

-Hi, Nick, we'll change B to true.

-B changes from false to true.

-And D to false.

-And D changes from true to false,

leaving A and C as answered by Jen.

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

The River Volga empties into the Black Sea.

Is that true or false?

-It's false!

-GASPING

It empties into the Caspian Sea.

Oh, dear, Usual Suspects,

you had the chance to steal the round from Jen but you failed to achieve Perfection.

Let's see the rest of the answers, in case you can achieve Perfection at home.

Pete Doherty was a founder member of The Libertines, true or false?

That's true.

A kilogram is equal to a weight of 10 pounds. True or false?

That is false. 2.2 pounds.

In Australia, a brumby is a wild horse. True or false?

It is absolutely true.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved Perfection,

you would now have the opportunity to make Jen's chances of winning the prize fund much harder.

Here's how. Jen, appearing before you is your final board.

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

Here are the final round categories,

starting with Dances, running through Camp David, the Orchestra,

Highland Games and on to Shakespeare and many more in between.

Because neither side won the round,

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

meaning four categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, you had the chance to steal but you failed on this occasion.

Could do better, you know. We'll see you in Round Two.

Away they go.

When you get the chance to choose, which two do you like the look of?

-Food.

-Food and?

-Possibly TV Drama.

-And TV Drama.

Which two would you really like to avoid?

Camp David's a bit out of it, isn't it?

And Balloons?

OK. Well, remember, Jen, in order to win the prize fund

you'll need to answer all six statements correctly.

Winning this next round, where there are four categories on offer,

-could prove crucial.

-Yes.

-Are you ready for the next round?

-Yes.

-Let's play Round Two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-True.

-True.

I think that's false.

False.

-Yes, that's true.

-True.

-Yes, that's true.

-True.

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

-Happy with that?

-Mm...

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

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

Gwen, has she achieved Perfection?

-I think she's done well. I'm really not sure about A.

-OK.

Tony, how do you think she's done?

I'm not sure if carpaccio is a warm salad.

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

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

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Can you steal the round? You've seen Jen's answers. You need to change one.

-But which one?

-C and D are right.

-C and D are definitely right.

And I think Mother Teresa's first name was Agnes.

-I don't know what her name was.

-I don't know what that salad is.

I'm not sure about carpaccio either, so...

-So shall we change that one?

-Do you think B?

-I think so.

-Yeah, shall we change B?

-We'll go with that.

-Yeah, OK.

OK, we'll change B, Nick, to true.

OK, we'll change B to true, leaving A, C and D as answered by Jen.

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

Mother Teresa's real first name was Agnes. Is that true or false?

It is true. You're right, Tony.

A carpaccio is a warm salad made with anchovies.

Is that true or false?

It's false!

A carpaccio is very thinly sliced raw beef or fish.

Usual Suspects, you had the chance to steal the round from Jen

but you failed to achieve Perfection.

Can you achieve Perfection at home?

War And Peace was written by Leo Tolstoy.

Is that true or false?

That's true.

Broadcasters Jon and Dan Snow are father and son. True or false?

That is false. I know what you're all thinking -

surely that must be true - but you have to read it carefully.

It says broadcasters Jon and Dan Snow.

The father and son team are Peter and Dan Snow.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved Perfection, you could now make Jen's chances of winning the prize fund

much harder in the final.

Let's have a look at the board. It's a bit nondescript at the moment.

Neither side won that round, there's no categories already chosen,

the four categories that were due to be chosen will now be carried over,

meaning all six categories will be on offer in Round Three.

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

You've had two chances. Will you get another?

We'll have to wait and see. We'll see you in round three. Bye-bye. And away they go.

-This is the important one now, isn't it?

-Yes.

This is the time to achieve Perfection.

-Are you ready?

-I am ready.

-Let's go then, Jen.

-Let's play Round Three.

-APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-True.

-True.

-I think that's true.

-True.

-Yeah, I think... Yes, true.

-True.

-Yes.

-And finally...

Er...

It's not one of the Seven Dwarfs, is it? True.

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

You look a bit worried about that one.

It's not a planet, is it? No.

-Anything else there bothering you?

-Julie Andrews.

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

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

Grant, has she achieved Perfection?

I don't think Jen has this time.

My father used to work in Saudi Arabia

and Riyadh is the capital of Saudi Arabia.

-Gwen, what do you think?

-I'm not sure about C.

I don't think that Julie Andrews played Nanny McPhee.

-Tony?

-I think she's got C wrong.

I think Nanny McPhee was played by Emma Thomspon.

OK. Jen, let's find out how many are right.

Two out of four. Certainly not Perfection.

-No.

-You've let the Usual Suspects in.

They have a chance to steal this round.

It's a big one as well. All six categories are on offer.

So you need to change two. Which two are you going to change?

-Riyadh definitely in Saudi Arabia.

-Yeah, we'll change B and C.

B changes from true to false, C changes from true to false,

A and D remain as answered by Jen.

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

Liverpool's airport is named after John Lennon.

True or false?

Is absolutely true.

Riyadh is in the United Arab Emirates.

Is that true or false?

It is false. It is the capital of Saudi Arabia, as you say, Grant.

Julie Andrews played Nanny McPhee. Is that true or false?

It is false. It was Emma Thompson playing Nanny McPhee,

as you said, Tony.

And finally, a red dwarf is a type of star. True or false?

That's absolutely true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

-You're looking very worried at this stage.

-Yes - six categories.

Yes, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you've failed. They've stolen the round.

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

Here's the final board. Absolutely blank.

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

that's two from the first round, two from the second round

and two from round three.

So, fire away. How are you going to pick six?

-Shakespeare's a very wide subject, isn't it?

-Yes, yes.

-Do you think Shakespeare?

-Yeah.

-Er, Shakespeare.

-Shakespeare goes across.

What do you think about Highland Games?

-Yeah.

-That could be anything, couldn't it?

-Highland Games.

Highland Games goes in.

-Shall we go for Clams?

-Yes.

-Clams.

-Clams goes across.

-What about The Orchestra?

-Yeah.

-Yeah. The Orchestra.

Orchestra.

Maybe TV Drama because that could be anything, couldn't it?

-What do you think?

-What do you think?

-OK, TV Drama.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-TV Drama.

-TV Drama. And I need one more from you.

-I don't mind.

-I'm happy to go with whatever you choose.

-We'll go with James Bond.

-James Bond goes across.

We now know our six final categories. They are:

OK, guys, very well played in the end. Time to switch you off for the final time.

And away they go.

-What do you make of that?

-Not a lot.

-Yeah.

-LAUGHTER

You could tell by your expression

-you knew you'd get stitched up as soon as you knew you'd lost that round.

-Yeah.

-But, look, it's not impossible.

-No.

-Just depends how the questions fall.

Absolutely, yeah.

All right, Jen, for £11,000, it's time to play The Final.

APPLAUSE

Jen, if you can achieve Perfection, you could be leaving with £11,000.

If you fail, you'll leave with nothing,

which is great news for the Usual Suspects,

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £12,000

on the next game.

So, let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Jen, here are your final six categories. They are:

Think carefully. There's no time limit

but once you've given an answer, your first answer,

-it will be locked in.

-Yeah.

OK, let's reveal your first statement.

Shakespeare.

Oh, dear.

-False.

-False.

Highland Games.

30 feet long. Ten yards.

I think I'm going to have to say false again.

False. Clams.

I think that could be true.

True.

The Orchestra.

-True.

-True.

TV Drama.

No, it's not. It's about barristers and things, so that is false.

False.

James Bond.

I don't think she did as many as that.

-I'm going to say false.

-False.

And with that, your answers are now locked in.

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

Which ones are you unsure of?

Erm... A.

B...

Need I go on?

I know E is right, definitely.

And I'm sure a viola has only got...

It's like a violin and they've only got four strings, I think.

-So the top half's tougher than the bottom half.

-Mm, yeah.

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

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and next to them are Jen's answers.

Jen, your answers are now locked in.

You can't change them by yourself but you can unlock them with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will, however, come at a cost.

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

-Grant.

I think you have most right, Jen.

I genuinely have questions about two of them.

I don't want to come down on this occasion.

-OK, so Grant has ruled himself out.

-OK. Gwen?

I think you've done very well.

I think you do have most of them right.

There's one I'm not sure about

but I'm not 100% and I'm not 100% on the others,

so I'm going to have to rule myself out as well - sorry.

Tony?

Er, I think you may have two wrong but I'm not absolutely sure

and there's a couple there at least that I really don't know the answer to,

so I think I'm going to have to rule myself out. Sorry.

-OK.

-Let me just check something.

There's £11,000 on the table here and I'm not spending your money here

but if she was to offer £10,000 for any of you to come down,

would any of you come down?

-No.

-I wouldn't think so, no.

-No.

-So it's not a matter of money. They aren't going to come down either way, Jen.

-OK.

So you're on your own. £11,000 at stake. Six answers away.

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

You were happier with the bottom ones than the top.

-Shall we start at the bottom and make our way up, then?

-OK.

Shirley Bassey sang the themes for six Bond films.

You said that was too many, that was false.

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

Is it true or is it false?

-It is false.

-APPLAUSE

She sang three theme tunes.

The TV series Silk is about horse-racing.

You knew this to be false.

-You watched it?

-Mm.

-And you know it's about...?

It's a firm of barristers and QCs and whatnot.

So we're expecting this to turn red. Is it true or false?

-It's false. Very well played.

-APPLAUSE

A legal drama, as you say.

A viola has four strings. You felt very confident with this as well.

If this turns green, you are halfway to £11,000,

all on your own.

Is it true or false?

-APPLAUSE

-It's true.

The Usual Suspects thought there were a few that were dodgy

and yet here you are, halfway to the money all on your own.

Let's press on. Some species of clam can live for over 300 years.

You thought this was true. Is it true or false? We need it to turn green.

-It's true.

-APPLAUSE

-Two thirds of the way now, Jen.

-Mm.

The caber is typically more than 30 feet long.

You translated that into ten yards.

In the end, you thought, no, it's just too long

and so you said false.

If this turns red, you're one away from the £11,000.

The caber is typically more than 30 feet long. Is it true or false?

-It's false.

-APPLAUSE

It's typically 19 foot six long.

Is your heart beating a little faster now?

-Just a tad.

-Are you bothered about this one?

-Yeah.

Well, here's how it stands.

You've got five out of six. It all rests on this final one.

Hamlet's real father is also called Hamlet.

You said this was false.

If this turns red, you've won £11,000 all on your own.

Hamlet's real father is also called Hamlet. Is it true or false?

For £11,000.

-It's true!

-AUDIENCE GROAN

-Oh, Jen.

-They're all smiling.

-Yes, they are.

You're quite right. They are all smiling.

You failed to achieve Perfection

but it means, 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 £12,000.

APPLAUSE

Jen, you failed to achieve Perfection so you go home with nothing

other than our thanks for being such a great contestant.

-I think you can be very proud of yourself.

-Thank you. It's been great.

-You've enjoyed it, have you?

-Absolutely, yeah.

-Jen, ladies and gentlemen.

-APPLAUSE

Thank you. Thank you very much.

That's all we have time for. Please join us next time when our Usual Suspects play again,

this time for £12,000.

But remember, on this show, five out of six isn't good enough.

We only pay for absolute Perfection.

-Goodbye.

-APPLAUSE
