Episode 30 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz show that demands nothing less than perfection.

Behind this screen are four contestants all hoping their knowledge is flawless

because one single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

Hello and welcome to Perfection,

the quiz show where only perfect play is good enough.

Behind me are the contestants, 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 said true, you'd be right.

Answering true or false might seem easy,

but if 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 those Usual Suspects.

Hi. I'm John. I come from Kent.

I'm a retired packaging engineer and this is my first game.

Hi. I'm Lora, I'm from Croydon.

I'm a letting agent and this is my second game.

Hi. I'm Gary. I'm from York.

I'm a bingo caller and this is my second game.

Hi, I'm Tony. I'm from London.

I work in sales and this is my third game.

Welcome to you all and best of luck

as we now find out who has been randomly picked to pay Perfection.

Tony C, it is you. Please come and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Tony, welcome to the game. Tell me about boxing.

Some people aren't fond of boxing.

What's it given you? How old are you?

-I'm 22.

-How long have you been boxing?

I've been boxing on and off for three or four years.

As a sport itself, there's a big art in it.

It's not just about two guys in a ring. There's a lot of technique involved.

And there's a lot of dedication and a lot of sacrifices.

What does it for you in terms of discipline and self-respect?

I mean, even guys in the gym,

after a training session or a sparring session,

you'll hug each other.

It's literally like a family.

And you treat the sport and treat yourself with respect and other people as well.

What's your ambition?

Professional boxing?

Indeed, yeah.

-Make some money.

-Yeah, definitely.

-World champion.

-Yeah.

And hopefully this might help me.

Tony, welcome to the game.

It's you now versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your team-mates. Now they're your enemies. Not the punching kind,

-just the quiz type.

-LAUGHTER

Their job is to stop you winning the prize fund, because your failure

means the prize money rolls over to the next game

where one of them could be sitting there playing for a bigger total.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Here's the good news - nobody's won the last 13 games.

So the prize fund currently stands at £14,000.

APPLAUSE

-£14,000.

-I can't imagine what you could do with that kind of money.

It's a decent purse, you'd call it.

It's a big purse.

That's a yearly purse, I reckon.

Best of luck.

You'll play three rounds and then a final.

Every round that you achieve Perfection makes the final easier,

but if your performance is anything less than perfect,

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

making the final harder for you.

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

-You understand?

-Yes.

-Ready?

-Yes.

Seconds out, let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Um...

bit of a guess, I'd go with false.

False.

-I'll go with true.

-True.

I'm not great with flags, but I'll go with true.

-True.

-And finally,

Um...

-I'd go with true.

-True.

And with a bit of time to spare,

you've answered all four statements.

I'm guessing, Tony, that was a tough round for you.

Yeah, not really categories

I'm confident with,

but I hope there's a bit of luck there, get me through.

Before we reveal how well you've done

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Tony's answers.

Gary, has he achieved Perfection?

There's one I'm not sure about, but...

Which one aren't you sure about?

I think B, possibly.

Lora, what do you make of his answers?

I'm the same as Gary,

I'm not 100% sure about B

I haven't really heard of Tristram, so...

John, can you see anything wrong?

I'm much the same. I just don't know about B

The moment of truth. You need to answer all four statements perfectly to win the round.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four's not bad,

but it's not Perfection.

You've now let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see Tony's answers.

You need to change one of them, but which one?

I think B

I'm pretty sure that A, C and D are fine.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-It's got to be B

B needs to change from true to false,

leaving A, C and D as answered by Tony.

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

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

Elizabeth Taylor was married to Laurence Olivier. True or false?

It is false.

She was famously married to Richard Burton.

Tristram Shandy was George IV's court jester.

Is that true or false?

It is false.

Tristram Shandy is a fictional character

from the novels of Lawrence Sterne.

The American flag is also known as Old Glory.

Is that true or false?

That is of course true.

You know where this is going, Usual Suspects.

In music, a metronome is used to keep time. Is that true or false?

It is true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

There's some fairly dodgy high fives going on there with the Usual Suspects

from a health and safety point of view. Lora, you might get a finger in the eye.

Yeah, looks like it!

Tony, they managed to succeed where you failed and stole the round.

Usual Suspects, you now have the chance to make Tony's chances

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

Tony, appearing before you is your final board.

Six blank spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are your final round categories.

If you'd won that round, you'd have the opportunity of adding two categories of your choice,

but because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you,

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

So which two would you like, Usual Suspects?

He won't know much about 1970 sitcoms, I don't think.

No.

-Yeah.

-But we might.

We've got more chance for sure.

-70s sitcoms?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

1970s sitcoms goes across.

Fashion as well.

-Yeah. Fashion, Nick.

-And fashion goes across.

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

Time to switch you off. We'll see you in round two.

I think they might be choosing subjects they like themselves.

Partly, but they chose one I like as well. If they think I don't like

-fashion, they need to think again.

-Very good.

Of the ones you can see there,

which will you be choosing if you get the opportunity?

I would have chosen fashion.

Maybe gymnastics.

They'd be the first two I'd probably have chosen.

They've done one for you - that's handy.

Which two would you like to avoid?

US geography.

And...

New Zealand.

All right. Tony, it's only the first round.

You still have two more rounds to find Perfection

-and choose your categories for the final. Ready for the next one?

-Yes.

Seconds out, let's play round two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

True or false?

I haven't got the foggiest, but I'll go for true.

True.

It sounds really strange, but I'll go with true.

True.

-Er, true.

-True.

I'd go with true.

True.

Once again, there were some tough questions in there for you.

Yeah, really not my subjects again.

You said last time you felt fairly lucky.

You didn't know anything about those last four, you got three right.

-Really happy with that.

-Yeah! Before we reveal how well you've done,

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements and next to them

are Tony's answers.

John, has he achieved Perfection?

He's got one wrong.

-Which one?

-D.

Lora, what do you think?

Yeah, D

-100%.

-Gary?

-Yeah.

-D is definitely wrong.

-They're in total agreement.

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

Just two out of four. Certainly not Perfection this time.

Once again the Usual Suspects are back in the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal this round?

You need to change two of the answers. Which two will you change?

-D, definitely.

-Definitely D

Yeah, D, without question.

The Ning Nang Nong, is it Spike Milligan?

It's something like that.

-I'm not sure what.

-Yeah.

It doesn't ring true, Edward Lear.

A and D, Nick, please.

Thank you.

A and D change from true to false,

B and C remain as Tony answered.

Usual Suspects,

let's find out what the correct answers are.

It is false, as you said, John. It's Spike Milligan.

It's true.

It is true, so you know where this is going, Usual Suspects.

It is false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Anne Bancroft played Mrs Robinson, in actual fact.

Tony, the Usual Suspects succeeded where you failed and they've stolen the round again.

So you have the opportunity to make Tony's chances of winning

the prize fund of £14,000 much harder.

Let's see the final board.

Two subject categories on there already chosen by the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, because you won the round, you've earned the right

to choose the next two categories. Which two?

I'd think weddings, wouldn't you?

-He won't know much about weddings.

-Definitely.

-Weddings, Nick, please.

-Weddings.

What about something we may know about?

I play golf.

-That could be a good one.

-Languages?

Theatre?

Are you all right on theatre?

Not really, no.

We could try golf if you want.

-That's what I'd be more comfortable with.

-Golf, Nick, please.

Golf goes across. Thank you very much.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have won the second round as well as the first.

Time to switch you off. See you in round three.

In danger of getting married soon?

-Boxing takes up too much time.

-I imagine it does, yeah.

-So, golf?

-Golf?

I mean, apart from Tiger Woods and some of the main ones,

not one of my great categories.

-But there are some worse ones up there.

-Yeah.

You still have a chance to find Perfection

-and choose your own categories for the final. Ready?

-Yeah.

Let's play round three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-I'll go with true.

-True.

-Er, false.

-False.

-Er, true.

-True.

And finally...

-I'm really not sure on that one but I'll go with true.

-True.

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

-How was that for you?

-That was a hard one.

-Was it?

-Yeah.

-Another tough one.

-Yeah, another tough one.

None of them have been easy for you so far.

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 Tony's answers.

Lora, has he achieved Perfection?

I don't think so this time.

I'm not sure, but I think he's got A, B and C wrong.

John, what do you think?

I think he's also got three wrong.

A, B and C.

Gary, do you agree?

Yeah, pretty much, Nick. I think D's wrong, actually.

So you think he might not have got any right at all?

Let's have a look. Tony, the moment of truth.

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

Let's see how many are correct.

Two out of four, better than they thought,

but certainly not Perfection.

As a result, the Usual Suspects are back in the game.

Can you steal this round as well?

You can see Tony's answers, you need to change two, but which two?

I'm pretty sure that D, VE Day's in June.

-Poker's...isn't it a royal flush?

-Royal flush is the top hand, yeah.

C and D, Nick, please.

Thank you, C changes from true to false,

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

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

Is that true or false?

That's false, I'm afraid.

Way too early, 1929 they were first presented.

Oh, dear, Usual Suspects, you had the chance to steal

the round from Tony but you failed to find Perfection.

Can you still find Perfection at home?

Let's go through the rest and find out.

Is that true or false?

That's false, he had long hair but he didn't have dreadlocks.

Is that true or false?

That's false.

It's beaten by a royal flush, a straight flush or four-of-a-kind.

Is that true or false?

That's true, in fact.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved Perfection

you would now have the opportunity to make Tony's chances

of winning the prize fund about as hard as they can be.

Let's have a look at the board.

Four categories already chosen by the Usual Suspects.

As no-one managed to win Round Three,

we have two blank spaces still to be filled, so to fill those

blank spaces, you'll take it in turns to choose a category.

Tony, as the single player, you get to go first.

Which category would you like to go into the final?

I think I'm going to have to take Gymnastics.

Gymnastics goes across. Usual Suspects,

-please choose a category you think will trouble Tony.

-Language?

-Language.

-Go Language. Language please, Nick.

-Language goes across.

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

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

So Tony, for £14,000, it's time to play the Final.

APPLAUSE

Tony, this is the all-important Final.

If you can achieve Perfection,

you could be leaving with a prize fund of £14,000.

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

great news for the Usual Suspects, as one of them could be playing

for a rollover of £15,000 on the next game.

Let's play the Final Round.

APPLAUSE

Tony, here are your final six categories. They are...

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £14,000. Think carefully.

There's no time limit,

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

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

Then let's reveal your first statement.

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

1970s Sitcoms.

I'm not too sure if that makes sense to me.

Japan? Em, I'll go with false.

False.

Fashion.

I know it's fashion but I wasn't expecting handbags!

-Em... I'll go with true.

-True.

Weddings.

I know the tune, but don't know who wrote it.

Eh...

-I'm going to take a guess and go with true.

-True.

Golf.

-Never have heard of it before. I'm going to go with false.

-False.

Gymnastics.

-The name doesn't seem Polish. I'll go with false.

-False.

And language.

-I really don't know, but I'll go with true.

-True.

Tony, those answers are now locked in.

Remember, if there's one mistake, you go home with nothing. Which ones are worrying you?

-Pretty much all of them!

-So it's, eh, basically,

-that's a pretty tough round for you?

-It really is. It really is.

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 Tony's answers. Tony, your answers are locked in.

You can't change them by yourself. But if you think you made a mistake, you can unlock the board

with the help of the Usual Suspects. This will, however, come at a cost.

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

if you want to help - and, if you do, how much it will cost him?

Tony, who would you like to hear from first?

Em, I would like to hear from John first, please.

I'm not too sure about the ones I'm not sure about, so...

Unfortunately, I won't be coming down to help you.

-Eh, Lora next, please.

-I think you've definitely got two wrong.

But I'm not an expert or knowledgeable on any of them,

-so I couldn't really come down and help you, I don't think.

-OK.

-And Gary.

-I know you've definitely got one wrong.

Em, but there's one I've a nagging doubt about,

so I really wouldn't like to come down and help you.

I'm in, I am 100% sure on four of them.

90% sure on the fifth one.

And obviously just one that I feel a little bit unsure of.

And I would be happy to split the money.

So you're offering £7,000, to anyone who'd like to come down and help out.

-Does that sway anybody up in the Usual Suspects?

-Sorry, Tony.

I've got a nagging doubt, Tony, about one and it's bugging me.

-So, no.

-No, it looks like negotiations are at an end, Tony.

None of our Usual Suspects are willing to help, so you're on your own. £14,000 at stake,

six answers away. Let's find out if you've achieved Perfection.

If the statement turns green it's true, if it turns red it's false. Start at the top there.

You said that sounded unlikely. It just didn't sound right, somehow. So you said false.

So, let's get you started.

It'd be nice if this turns red and gets you on your way.

Is it true or false?

It's false, very well done.

APPLAUSE

It's actually a television programme from before you were born,

I should imagine, and it was set in India and Burma.

So, very well done, doesn't matter how you get to the correct answer,

as long as you get there.

Anya Hindmarch is a famous handbag designer.

You asked for fashion and you were pleased you got fashion.

You weren't expecting handbags, though.

It's a bit of a guess this one, isn't it?

Yeah, so you said true, let's hope it goes green for you.

Is it true or false?

It's true. Very good.

APPLAUSE

Although, I have a feeling when you get back to the gym you might

-get a bit of stick for knowing so much about handbags.

-Yeah.

LAUGHTER

All right, let's move on, shall we?

Bizet wrote the tune known as Here Comes The Bride.

We need this to turn green to get you halfway to £14,000.

Is it true or false?

No, I'm afraid it's false.

Yes, it was actually a tune by Wagner

that is generally thought to be Here Comes The Bride.

So, I'm afraid you haven't achieved Perfection

and you won't be going home with the £14,000.

I wonder if you can still achieve Perfection at home,

let's carry on through these statements and answers,

and also see how well you've done overall.

The game of battledore was an early version of golf.

You said this is false - is it true or false?

It is false, very well done.

It's an early form of badminton, in actual fact.

Pressing on here, Nadia Comaneci represented Poland at gymnastics.

You said that's false.

Is it true or false?

Yes, it is false, absolutely right, she was Romanian.

And finally, Shakespeare wrote the first English dictionary.

You said this was probably true.

To be fair, not an area you felt particularly strong on.

A bit of a guess? Is it true or false?

Yeah, in actual fact it is false.

Generally it's considered

that Dr Johnson produced the first dictionary.

So, 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 £15,000.

APPLAUSE

Tony, you failed to achieve Perfection.

You've played the game really well,

you should be proud of what you pulled off there.

Good luck with the career, we wish you the best of luck.

Let's hear it for Tony, everybody.

APPLAUSE

It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect

hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hello, my name's Shanine,

I'm from London and I'm an archives assistant.

Welcome to the show, Shanine.

Best of luck to all of you, as we now find out which one of you

has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Gary, it's you.

Please come and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Gary, welcome to the game. It's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

Here's the good news as nobody has won the last 14 games,

the prize fund currently stands at...

£15,000.

APPLAUSE

So, Gary, if you walk out of here in a few moments with £15,000,

what's it going to be spent on?

Well, I'm hoping to get married next year, so it'd be nice

to have a really nice wedding and a really nice honeymoon.

You've proposed already, I take it?

I proposed on Christmas Day, of all days!

Oh, that's very nice.

-Did you get down on one knee, and all that kind of thing?

-I did.

What I did, I built a home-made Christmas cracker

and I put the ring inside it, and she opened it up,

and it's the old adage of getting a ring in a Christmas cracker -

well, actually I did do that.

And she was absolutely mega shocked,

I think she nearly choked on the turkey.

But she said yes! So, you know...

That is the important thing, isn't it?

OK, 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 Gary makes a mistake you'll be back in the game.

-Are you ready?

-I am, yeah.

Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1, your 45 seconds start now.

I think that's false.

False.

I think that's...horse-like, actually. I think that's false.

False.

-Yes, I believe that to be true.

-True, and finally...

-Yes, I believe that's true, too.

-And that's true.

So, with time to spare,

you've answered all four statements. How was that?

Yeah, not too bad.

Not Chris de Burgh so much, but I have just a sneaky feeling

it didn't make number one, I don't know why.

I just have a feeling it didn't make number one.

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

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements,

and next to them are Gary's answers. Lora, has he achieved Perfection?

I think he's got B wrong.

You think B is wrong.

Shanine, how well has he done?

I think...actually, I know he's got D wrong.

Gary, the moment of truth.

How many are correct?

Just one out of four.

Certainly not Perfection.

You've let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round? You can see his answers.

You need to change three. Which three?

The one I think is right is C.

Yes, that's definitely right.

-Shall we just change the other three?

-Yeah, I agree.

OK, Nick, we'd like to change A from false to true.

A from false to true.

B from false to true.

B from false to true.

And D from true to false.

And D from true to false,

leaving C as answered by Gary.

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

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

There are typically five lines in a limerick. Is that true or false?

That's true. You know where this is going now, Usual Suspects.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

He was Secretary of State for many years, but never Vice-President.

Oh, dear, Gary, they succeeded where you failed and stole the round.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity of making Gary's chances

of winning the prize fund harder in the final, and here's how.

Gary, this is your final board.

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

Here they are...

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you, they get to choose

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

Which would you like Gary to play?

I think rap, 100%, he won't know that, will he?

-Rappers.

-Rappers goes across.

-And...?

-Victorian novels?

-Give that one a go.

Victorian novels, please, Nick.

All right, Victorian novels goes across.

Usual Suspects, you won the first round. Time to switch you off.

We'll see you in Round 2.

Gary, what do you think of their choices? Rappers?

Not great on rappers, no.

-Victorian novels?

-No, I'm not a big reader either, really, so...

Of the ones you see there, which will you choose if you get the opportunity to choose?

I would choose Tennis first.

Any others?

-Probably...Frank Sinatra might be OK.

-All right.

And the ones you'd like to avoid?

Medieval Times, possibly. Aristocracy, maybe.

All right, Gary, it's only the first round. Still two more rounds

to find Perfection and choose your own categories for the Final.

If you're ready, let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

Don't believe he has, no. I think that's false.

False.

That's true, I've been there.

True.

No, I don't think she quite made 100. I think that's false.

False. And finally...

That could be...true.

True. And with time to spare,

you've answered all four statements. How was that?

Not too bad.

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

Usual Suspects, here are the statements and Gary's answers.

Shanine, has he achieved Perfection?

C is definitely wrong. She just missed out on her 102nd birthday.

John, what do you think?

B is also wrong. I don't think the River Kwai is in Thailand.

Gary, let's find out how many are correct.

Two out of four.

It's not bad, but it's not good, really.

You failed to achieve Perfection and allowed the Usual Suspects in.

Usual Suspects, can you steal this round?

You need to change two answers.

-B? Yeah?

-And definitely C.

-B and C.

We'd like to change B and C, please, Nick.

OK, B changes from true to false.

C changes from false to true,

leaving A and D as answered by Gary.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

It's true, I'm afraid.

Oh, dear, Usual Suspects.

You had the chance to steal the round from Gary, but failed to achieve Perfection.

Can you achieve Perfection at home? Let's find out.

That's actually true.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved Perfection, you'd have the opportunity

to make Gary's chances of winning the prize fund harder in the Final.

Let's see the Final board.

Two categories on there, but as neither side won the round,

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

to the next round. So four categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, I'll switch you off, but we'll see you in Round 3.

Gary, with four categories on offer,

-this next round could prove crucial.

-Mm-hm.

-Ready to play?

-Yeah, definitely.

Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

No, I don't think it is.

I don't think it's a musical instrument at all.

-So you're saying...

-False.

-False.

I think that's false as well, Nick.

False.

Yes, I've been on safari in Africa and leopard is one of the big five,

-so that is true.

-True. And finally...

Ooh! I would say...

-..false.

-False.

You were making me nervous about the time there. How was that?

Not too bad, not too bad.

-I'm happier than the first round, certainly.

-All right, Gary,

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

These were the four statements and Gary's answers.

John, has he achieved Perfection this time?

No, I don't think so.

I think B is true and D is true.

So he's got those two wrong.

Lora, what do you think?

I'm not 100% sure, but I think D is wrong.

Gary, again the Usual Suspects don't have much faith in your answers.

You need to answer all statements perfectly to win the round.

Let's see how many are correct.

Two out of four. It's kind of consistent.

-Yeah.

-You haven't achieved Perfection.

Usual Suspects are back in the game.

So, you can see Gary's answers.

You need to change two.

-But which two?

-B and D?

I think so, yeah.

B and D for sure, yeah?

B and D, please, Nick.

Lovely. B changes from false to true.

D changes from false to true.

Leaving A and C as answered by Gary.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

Yes, course it is. False.

It's a type of common fungus.

It is true.

It is true.

You know where this is going. Is that true or false?

It's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Gary, the Usual Suspects succeeded where you failed

and have stolen the round.

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

of winning the prize fund as hard as they can be.

Let's see the Final board. Two subject categories in there,

already chosen by you.

As 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 from the previous round.

Which four would you like Gary to play in the Final?

Shall we pick one each?

I'll go for Aristocracy.

Aristocracy goes across.

-I'll go for Isle of Man.

-Isle of Man goes across.

-Lora?

-I'll go for Cloning.

-Cloning?

-Yeah.

And we need one more.

Medieval Times?

-That could be a stinker.

-Medieval Times, please, Nick.

Medieval Times goes into the Final.

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

Very well played, Usual Suspects.

Time to switch you off for the final time.

They got Medieval Times, which you were trying to avoid.

Kind of, yeah. Not so happy about that one.

Still, you never know how they'll work out.

Might be something you know. Gary, for £15,000, it's time to play the Final.

APPLAUSE

Gary, this is the all-important Final. If you achieve Perfection, you could leave with £15,000.

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

for the Usual Suspects as one of them could play for a rollover of £16,000 on the next game.

-So, let's play the final round.

-APPLAUSE

Gary, here are your final six categories - they are...

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £15,000.

Think carefully, there is no time limit,

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

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

Let's reveal your first statement -

please tell me where the you believe it to be true or false?

Rappers...

-No, I think that's someone else, so I'll say false.

-False?

Victorian novels...

-I'm going to say true, Nick. That's a true.

-True. Aristocracy...

-I'm going to say...true on that one.

-True. Isle of Man...

-I believe it does, yes, I believe it does.

-So you're saying...?

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

-True. Cloning...

I believe that... Scotland, Wales, erm...

-I think that was Wales, so I'm going to say false.

-False.

And medieval times...

Plausible, erm...

Yes, I think some of these people sort of crossed over sometimes.

-Yeah, I could kind of see that. I'm going to go true.

-True.

And with that, Gary, those answers are locked in.

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

-Which ones are you unsure of?

-Quite a few actually.

Really? 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 Gary's answers.

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

by yourself, but if you think you made a mistake you can

unlock them with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will, however, come at a cost.

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

-I'll ask John, please.

I'm pretty sure you got one wrong.

It depends how confident you are, Gary, in your answers.

-I'm not 100% certain on a couple of them.

-I'll rule myself out, then.

-Sorry, Gary.

-OK, then.

-So, who would you like to hear from next?

-I'll try Lora, please.

-I'm only 90% sure that I could change two.

I don't think I'd be able to help really, in all honesty.

Right, then, I guess it's down to you, Shanine.

There's one I think I could change.

The rest I don't really have a clue.

I'm not confident enough to come down and say I can help you

and get a share of the money, so I'm ruling myself out, sorry.

No matter how much of the sum is offered, none of you will come down.

-What does he want to part with?

-Well, £15,000 is in the pot.

How much are you prepared to part with to get someone down,

or are they bluffing, do you want to go it alone?

I'm not 100% great on this but I'm more than happy to go alone

because nobody seems that sure.

Really, so you're going to go it alone?

-I'm going to take the chance on my own.

-OK, in which case,

then negotiations have been brought to conclusion by Gary.

£15,000 at stake, six answers away.

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

If the statement turns green, it's true.

It turns red, it's false.

Lora, you were twitching and not sure.

You thought there was one, maybe two wrong,

-so which two were you iffy on?

-E and B.

Well, let's have a look at it and see how it's worked out.

Let's start at the top and make our way down.

Timothy McKenzie uses the stage name Example.

You said this was false,

you thought it was somebody else who calls himself Example.

You need this to turn red to get you on your way towards

the £15,000 that you're playing for.

Is it true or false? It needs to turn red...

And it has.

APPLAUSE

Timothy McKenzie is Labrinth. Example is Elliot Gleave,

so, therefore, his initials are EG,

which is why he calls himself Example. Anthony Trollope...

As this was one of the ones that Lora was going to change,

why don't we hop over this for a minute?

The Mountbattens were once called the Battenbergs,

now you said this was true - we need this to turn green to keep you

on your merry way towards the £15,000,

so is it true or is it false? It's true, very well done.

-APPLAUSE

-You're a third of the way there.

The Isle of Man has its own parliament -

you thought this was true.

Well, if you're right, this takes you halfway to £15,000.

The Isle of Man has its own parliament, you said true,

you need it to turn green.

Is it true or is it false?

It's true.

The Isle of Man parliament is the Tynwald,

for those who would like to know.

Dolly the sheep was cloned in Scotland.

Of course, this was the other one that Lora thought might be wrong,

so let's hop over that one as well.

Medieval times - barbers often worked as surgeons.

You said you thought that was true. Rang a bell for you.

It kind of rang a bell, yes.

OK, well, let's find out whether that's true or false.

If it is true, you're just two away from the £15,000.

It is false, of course, you leave with nothing

and the money rolls over to the Usual Suspects.

In medieval times, barbers often worked as surgeons.

Is that true or false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

So let's go back at the top, shall we?

Anthony Trollope wrote The Mayor Of Casterbridge.

Now you said this was true. Lora had doubts about this one.

Anthony Trollope wrote The Mayor Of Casterbridge.

You need this to turn green.

Is it true or is it false, to get you one away from £15,000?

It's false! It was written by Thomas Hardy.

Gary, I'm afraid that you haven't achieved Perfection

and therefore you're not taking home the money.

Well, well, well, I wonder if you can still achieve Perfection

at home and, more importantly, the other one we've left is

the one that Lora would've come down

and talked to you about changing,

so this really is where we find out

whether you should have done a deal with Lora, or, more to the point,

Lora, whether you should have been more firm about it,

in which case you could be walking away with some of the money here.

-It's too late now, innit?

-So, it's not going to bother you at all?

It bothers me a lot, I don't want to look.

LAUGHTER

Well, I should imagine it will bother you a little bit too.

-Just a little bit.

-So, let's have a look.

Dolly the sheep was cloned in Scotland. You said false.

If this turns green, because it's true,

you should've done a deal with Lora

and Lora should've been

firmer about coming down,

and then both of you could've been walking off into the sunset

with large amounts of cash,

so Dolly the sheep was cloned in Scotland, is that true or false?

It's true!

-GASPING

-Oh!

I don't know how often you guys get close to £15,000, but that's about

as close as you can get without actually walking away with it.

-That's frustrating, isn't it?

-Just a bit, yeah.

-Lora?

-Gutted.

I should have been braver, just wasn't...

On the other hand, Usual Suspects, it is good news, in some respects,

certainly for John and Shanine,

and also, if you think about it, in a way, for you too, Lora.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game where one of you

could be playing for a total of £16,000.

APPLAUSE

Gary, you failed to achieve Perfection, which means you go home

with nothing, other than our thanks for playing the game.

I hope you enjoyed yourself even though you didn't win.

-Yes, I did enjoy it, it was great fun.

-Smashing, thanks very much.

Gary, 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.

They'll have to be braver, though, won't they,

if they want to win the £16,000 that will be on offer?

Remember, on this show, we only pay for Perfection. Goodbye.
