Episode 33 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz show that demands perfection. Behind this screen are four contestants

who hope their knowledge is flawless because one mistake could give the game away. This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Welcome to Perfection, the quiz show where only perfect play is good enough.

Behind me are the contestants. We call them the Usual Suspects. They're in our isolation room.

In a moment, we'll find out which one of them has been randomly selected to play Perfection.

They will face a series of "true or false" statements.

For example, if I said...

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

If you said "true", I can tell you you'd be right.

Answering "true" or "false" might seem easy,

but if the contestant gets an answer wrong,

their opponents come into the game to capitalise on their mistakes.

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

I'm Juliet from Maidstone in Kent. I'm a transcription administrator and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Steve, I'm from Nottingham, I'm a semi-retired salesman and this is my second game.

Hello, I'm Laura, I'm from Edinburgh, I'm a hairdresser and this is my third game.

Hello, I'm Shanine, I'm from London, I'm an archives assistant and this is my sixth game.

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

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

-Steve, welcome to the game.

-Thank you.

You've got a big family watching and cheering at home.

Two children, six grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

-Eight great-grandchildren? That has to take up your time.

-Absolutely.

They say the funniest things, don't they?

Yes, my great-granddaughter number one, she was six,

and she said to me one afternoon, "Grandad, I wish you and Grandma were one year old."

-I said, "Why?" She said, "Then we could spend the rest of our lives together."

-Aw!

-Even now, I get emotional about it.

-Isn't it amazing?

-Six years old.

-The most wonderful things.

-Yeah.

Steve, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects. Their job is to stop you from winning the prize fund.

Your failure means the prize money rolls over to the next game and one of them plays for a bigger total.

-Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000. Unfortunately for you, the previous two games were won.

-Yeah.

Extraordinarily, lightning struck twice, so the prize fund is re-set to £1,000.

-But £1,000...

-That don't sound bad to me.

-Especially with those grandchildren and great-grandchildren to look after.

-I might get a pint out of it.

-I don't think you'd get much more.

-No.

-Here's how the game works.

You play three rounds and a final. Every round you achieve perfection makes the final easier.

But if your performance is anything less than perfect, the Usual Suspects can steal the round,

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

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

Each round consists of four "true or false" statements.

-You'll only have 45 seconds and once you've given your first answer, it'll be locked in. Ready?

-Sure.

Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1. Your 45 seconds starts now.

-I think that's true, yes.

-True.

It's certainly a Greek letter, it's certainly a Greek cheese.

-Yes, we'll go for "true".

-True.

-Oh... Yeah, I think that's true as well.

-True. And finally...

-I'll say "false" on that one. That's quite a lot.

-False.

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

You gave yourself time to think about the last one. That one's worrying you?

5,000 is a lot. But there's a lot of water in the Great Lakes.

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

These were the four statements and next to them are Steve's answers.

Shanine, has he achieved perfection?

-There's something about B I'm unsure of.

-Laura, what do you think?

The same for myself. Feta cheese is definitely Greek,

but I don't think it's named after a Greek goddess.

Juliet, welcome to the game. What do you think?

I would also go along with the others and say that B is the one that I would have issues with,

so I don't think perfection has been achieved.

It's all Greek to them. You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Just two out of four,

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

Can you steal the round? You need to change two of Steve's answers, but which two will it be?

-A and C are definitely right.

-Right, OK.

-An Emperor is the largest species of penguin,

-so we've got to change B to "false" and D to "true".

-OK.

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

B changes from "true" to "false".

-And D from "false" to "true".

-And D from "false to "true",

leaving A and C as answered by Steve.

Let's find out the correct answers. If the statement turns green, it's true. If it turns red, it's false.

"Bill Murray starred in the film Groundhog Day." Is that true or false?

-It is true. It's a very good film.

-I haven't seen it.

-How did you know it's true?

-I'm clever that way.

-Are you?

-I haven't been to the cinema for 40 years.

-Is that right?

-Yeah.

-Let's move on, shall we?

"Feta cheese is named after a Greek goddess." Is that true or false?

It is false.

-The Greek word for "feta" comes from an Italian word meaning "slice".

-Oh, right, yeah.

"Emperor is the largest species of penguin." True or false?

It is true. You know where this is going, Usual Suspects.

"The US state of Michigan has over 5,000 lakes." True or false?

It's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

-You have achieved perfection.

-APPLAUSE

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

Usual Suspects, you can make Steve's chances of winning the prize fund that much harder in the final.

Steve, this is your final board. These six blank spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are the final round categories starting with Angelina Jolie,

ranging through Aztecs, Savings and on to Country Music with many more in between.

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

but because the Usual Suspects stole the round, they choose, hoping to make the final much harder for you.

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

I'd quite like Eurovision to go on the board.

-Yes, Eurovision.

-Any others? What do you reckon?

Medals seems quite difficult.

We'll go for Medals on the board.

Medals comes across.

-And Eurovision.

-And Eurovision. Interesting. Thank you very much, Usual Suspects.

You won the first round. Time to switch you off, but we will see you in Round 2.

-Do you know anything about Medals?

-No.

-They were right then.

-Do you watch Eurovision at all?

-Not since about 1968.

It might still work for you. You never know what the question is.

Give me two categories you'll be choosing if you get the opportunity.

Country Music probably and Wild West.

And two that you're desperate to avoid?

Angelina Jolie. I'm probably the only man in the world that wants to avoid Angelina Jolie.

And Diseases, that sounds nasty.

Steve, it's only the first round.

You still have two more rounds to find perfection and choose your own categories for the final.

-If you leave it to them, they'll choose stuff to trip you up.

-Yes.

-All right, let's play Round 2.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

She was executed, but I would have thought it was in public.

-So I'll say "false".

-False.

-They have big meetings there. I'll say that's true.

-True.

-No, that's false. He won it on Aldaniti.

-False. And finally...

-I'll say "true".

-True. Again, with time to spare,

-you've answered all four statements. Comfortable, happy?

-Yeah, I'm happy.

-Really?

-Yeah, I'm always happy.

-Nice state to be in. You'll have to tell me the trick.

-Euphoria, it is.

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

These were the four statements and next to them are Steve's answers.

-Has he achieved perfection? Juliet?

-A and D, I would definitely change.

Shanine, has he achieved perfection?

He hasn't achieved perfection. The Oval Office is in the White House.

So that would be false. And I'm not sure about A or D either.

Steve, let's find out how many you got correct.

Three out of four's not bad, but it isn't perfection,

which means the Usual Suspects are into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round? You need to change just one of Steve's answers.

-I would change B from "true" to "false".

-The Oval is something to do with cricket.

-The Oval Office is the President's office in the White House.

-Oh, right.

-Right, OK.

-OK, great.

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

You're changing B from "true" to "false", leaving A, C and D as answered by Steve.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

"Marie Antoinette was executed in the Bastille." Is that true or false?

False. She was executed in what is now the Place de la Concorde.

"The Oval Office is a room in 10 Downing Street." True or false?

It is false. Exactly as you said, Shanine, it is in the White House.

You know where this is going, so you can afford to look happy.

"Bob Champion won the Grand National on Foinavon." True or false?

-It is false. Foinavon was the horse that scuttled round...

-And everything else fell over, yeah.

-100/1.

-100/1, that's right.

Bob Champion won on Aldaniti, of course.

"Ginza is an up-market shopping district of Tokyo." True or false?

That's true.

Usual Suspects, congratulations. You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Steve, the Usual Suspects succeeded where you failed and stole the round.

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

Let's see the final board.

We've got two on there, Medals and Eurovision, chosen by yourselves,

and because you won that round, you choose the next two as well.

-Which two do you want Steve to play in the final?

-Angelina Jolie?

He said he hadn't been to the cinema in a while. It might be a good one.

-If he's not a cinema buff, he probably doesn't know much.

-I don't think he'd know much about fashion.

-I can't see him going for handbags somehow.

-No!

-We'll put Angelina Jolie on the board.

-Angelina Jolie goes across.

-And Fashion.

-Fashion. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You've won the first two rounds. Time to switch you off, but you'll have another chance in Round 3.

-It's almost like they heard you - Angelina Jolie.

-Yeah.

-I'm hurt on your behalf that they think you don't know about fashion.

-I'm not surprised.

-The only way to get subjects you like into the final is to win the next round.

-Yes.

-Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

True or false?

-Boris Pasternak, could be. I'll say "yes".

-I have to have the word.

-True.

-Thank you. True.

True or false?

-I thought they were Brownshirts, so I'll say "false".

-False.

-That's definitely true.

-True.

-And finally...

Oh, that's a clever one.

I'll say... I'll say "false" on that.

-I think it's all in England.

-False.

Nice time management again. Perfection this time, do you think?

-Go on, we'll say "yes".

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

These were the four statements and next to them are Steve's answers.

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

I thought that B was true. That definitely rang a bell for me.

-Shanine?

-There's a couple I'm unsure of.

A, I know it was set in Russia, but I don't know if it was an English book or another language.

And C and D as well.

-Not much of a vote of confidence from the Usual Suspects, but you never know.

-One never knows.

You think you've got perfection. Let's find out. How many have you got correct?

Congratulations, Steve. You have achieved perfection.

-APPLAUSE

-Very well done. Let's take a look at those answers, shall we?

-"Doctor Zhivago was originally written in Russian." Who did you say wrote it?

-Boris Pasternak.

Right, and he did write it in Russian, so that is true.

-"Mussolini's followers were called Redshirts." You thought they were called...?

-Brownshirts.

Is that true or false? It is, of course, false.

-It's Blackshirts.

-There were Brownshirts, Blackshirts.

-Every shirt but this one.

-Redshirts were followers of Garibaldi.

-Yeah.

-Blackshirts followed Mussolini.

-Brownshirts were actually in the UK.

-Oswald Mosley.

-Oswald Mosley, yeah.

"The Eton Rifles was a hit single for The Jam." Bit of a Jam fan, were you?

-I'm a bit of a music fan. They were a very popular group.

-You said "true".

And it is true. Very well done.

"Hadrian's Wall is partly in Scotland." You thought it was entirely in England. True or false?

It is false. It's entirely in England. Great round.

As a result of that perfect performance, you've made winning the prize fund that much easier.

Let's look at your final board. The first four categories were chosen by the Usual Suspects.

But because you won that round, you can choose the last two categories to add to the board.

-Which two do you fancy playing?

-Wild West and Country Music.

Wild West goes across and Country Music.

We now know our six final categories.

It's time to switch off the Usual Suspects for the last time. Cheerio.

-Got half a chance with that?

-Apart from the middle 'un.

I'll be struggling, unless it's, "Which husband is Angelina Jolie on at the moment?"

I can take an educated guess at that one.

You never know, do you? Steve, for £1,000, it's time to play the final.

Steve, this is the all-important final. If you achieve perfection, you could leave with £1,000.

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

as one of them could be playing for £2,000 on the next game. So let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £1,000.

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

-Sure.

-Let's reveal your first statement. Tell me if you believe it to be true or false.

Medals...

-True or false?

-I'd say so because it's for bravery.

And valour is bravery. I would say yes, false... True.

I've said "false", haven't I?

-I'm afraid I have to take the first answer you give me and you said "false" first.

-I did.

What a mug!

Eurovision...

I'd say "false". I don't think he was involved with it.

-He might have been involved with the acts, but not with the presentation.

-False?

-False.

Angelina Jolie...

-I'll say "true".

-True.

Fashion...

-True.

-True.

On to the two subject categories you chose for yourself now. Wild West...

No, because it wasn't a character. It was a true person.

-So I'd say that's false.

-False.

And finally, Country Music...

-That's false. She was the wife of Johnny Cash.

-False.

-False.

And with that, you have answered all of the statements and they are locked in.

If there is one mistake, you leave with nothing.

-Which ones are you unsure of?

-The Angelina Jolie one and the "for valour" one.

-That was so unfortunate.

You explained what you thought your answer was going to be, then gave me the opposite answer.

-Unfortunately, the way the rules run, I have to take the first answer you say.

-I appreciate that, yes.

Let's switch on the Usual Suspects.

You can now see the final six statements and next to them are Steve's answers.

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.

Usual Suspects, tell me how well you think Steve has done,

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

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

-From Juliet.

-I think you've done quite well.

I think you've got about three right and three wrong,

but the three wrong ones I wouldn't know the answer to be able to help you,

so I wouldn't be able to come down and help you. Sorry.

-Juliet ruling herself out. Who would you like to hear from next?

-Laura.

There's definitely two wrong, I'm afraid, and possibly a third one,

but I'm not 100% sure, so I wouldn't be willing to take the risk and come down.

-You're definitely ruling yourself out, Laura?

-Definitely.

-Who next?

-Shanine.

-There's definitely one wrong and a couple I'm unsure of.

And because I'm unsure of some and the money is quite low, I'm afraid I won't come down and help.

Steve, none of our Usual Suspects are willing to help, so you're on your own. £1,000 at stake.

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

-Let's start at the top with the one you're kicking yourself for.

-Yeah.

"For Valour is inscribed on the Victoria Cross."

You said, "Yes, that's right," then just blurted out "false",

which I had to take. You're convinced that's true.

Is there any chance you could be wrong?

It could be on the George Cross, but it is a bravery award, the Victoria Cross.

"For Valour is inscribed on the Victoria Cross."

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

-It's true, I'm afraid. You knew it was true.

-Yeah.

-That's really frustrating.

Maybe you can achieve perfection at home, so let's go through the rest of those statements.

"Louis Walsh was a presenter of Eurovision in 1997." You said "false". Is it true or false?

You were right. Ronan Keating and Carrie Crowley were the presenters in 1997, but not Louis Walsh.

-I don't know if it's good news or bad news when you get one right.

-You still want to get them right.

"Angelina Jolie named her twins Phinnaeus and Sunday." Is that true or false?

-It's false.

-Oh, good.

Actually, she named the twins Knox and Vivienne. That one's not right. Let's move on to the next one.

"Yves Saint Laurent was born in Algeria." You said that was true. Is it true or false?

It is true.

"Mark Twain created the character Calamity Jane." You said "false", she is not a character.

-She was a historical figure.

-Yeah.

Is it true or false?

It is false.

She was a frontierswoman which is what you said more or less.

"June Carter was the wife of Willie Nelson." You said she is...?

-Johnny Cash.

-Johnny Cash's wife.

So is it true or false?

It is false. She was married three times.

Her third husband was Johnny Cash. Absolutely right. You got 4 out of 6.

-You would have got five. You knew A, but just said the wrong answer.

-Yes.

Usual Suspects, good news for you. The prize fund rolls over.

One of you could be playing for £2,000.

Steve, you failed to achieve perfection and go home with nothing but our thanks. Hope you enjoyed it.

-Absolutely brilliant.

-Let's hear it for Steve, everybody.

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

-New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

-Hi, my name is Rich, I live in Poole and I'm a teacher.

Welcome, Rich. Best of luck to all of you as we find out who's been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Shanine, it's you! Come down and play Perfection.

-Shanine, welcome to the game.

-Hello.

-You've been here a while.

-A long time!

-Have you enjoyed being here?

-I feel a bit sad that I'm not captain any more.

-It's your chance to win some cash.

Good luck. They were your teammates, they're now your enemies.

Nobody's won the last two games, so the prize fund currently stands at £2,000.

So what would you do with £2,000 if you won it?

It would go towards.... I want to become an archivist. I work in archives.

To become a professional archivist, you need a post-graduate qualification.

-What does an archivist do?

-Kind of cataloguing papers. It's more about the preservation of history.

What does a professional archivist do that a non-professional doesn't?

You get more money!

Well, that seems like a plan, then!

There's three rounds and a final to come. Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off.

When Shanine makes a mistake, you will be back in the game.

-You can talk through your answers without giving anything away.

-OK.

-Are you ready to go?

-I am.

-Let's play Perfection.

Round One. Your 45 seconds start now.

-True.

-True.

-Just guessing. True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-It was written by Ricky Gervais, so that's false.

-False.

And you've answered all four. How did that feel?

-The one I'm sure about, I'm sure about. The rest I'm not.

-Before we reveal how you've done,

we bring back the Usual Suspects. These were the four statements and, next to them, Shanine's answers.

-Laura, has she achieved perfection?

-I thought baba ganoush was African, but a food.

-Ah, interesting.

-Juliet, what do you think?

-I think baba ganoush is an Indian god.

-So A's not true.

-Rich, how do you think she's done?

-She might have got perfection.

OK. Shanine, mixed bag there. You need to have answered all four perfectly to have won the round.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Just one out of four.

You don't need me to point out it's not perfection. It does let your enemies in.

Can you steal the round? You need to change three.

-Extras was written by Ricky Gervais, so we need to change the other three.

-Agreed?

-I think so.

-Change A, B, C, please, Nick.

-Thank you.

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

D remains as answered by Shanine. Let's find out what the correct answers are.

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

Baba ganoush is a style of North African music. True or false?

It is false.

It's an aubergine dip, in actual fact. Not a god, Juliet.

It's very nice, but not godly.

The River Mekong flows through the city of Bangkok. True or false?

That's false as well.

It runs along the border of Laos and Thailand, not through Bangkok.

Velcro was invented by NASA scientists. True or false? No, that is false as well.

Invented by a Swiss engineer, although people did think it was a rip-off from NASA!

A rip-off from... Oh, please yourselves.

Jimmy Carr wrote the sitcom Extras. You know where this is going. Is that true or false?

It is false. Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

It was, of course, written by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.

-Oh, dear, Shanine. They've stolen the round.

-Yeah.

Usual Suspects, you can now make Shanine's chances much harder in the final. Here's how.

Shanine, this is your final board. These six blank spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are your final round categories, starting with Carry On, Language, Insects, Economics

and many more. The Usual Suspects now get to choose the two categories,

hoping to make the final that much harder for you to win. Which two would you like Shanine to play?

-Is Carry On not like Carry On films?

-Yes. Go for that. It might be the actors or actresses

-involved in that series, which is more my era!

-She's too young!

-Economics. She's not going to like Economics.

-Go on, then.

-Economics?

-Carry On and Economics, please, Nick.

-OK. Carry On goes across.

And Economics. That sounds like a movie there never was.

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

-Shanine, what do you make of that? Carry On?

-I'm quite pleased!

-Is that right?

-I read the Kenneth Williams biography recently, so I quite like Carry On films.

-And Economics?

-Oh, dear. My landlady works for economists, but I don't know if it will be...

-I don't know how that helps you.

-She might have told me things.

Of the ones that are left, which would you avoid?

I'd probably avoid Insects and Language.

-And two that you would choose?

-Oh. I'd go for Britpop, I think.

-And...TV Drama.

-OK.

It's only the first round. You still have two more.

-Are you ready to continue?

-I am.

-Then let's play Round Two.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-That's true.

-True.

-I think that's true.

-True.

-It's set in the Nazi era, so false.

-False. And finally...

-That's definitely false.

-False. Loads of time to spare and you've answered all four.

-You don't hang around.

-I go with my instinct.

-What does it tell you about that?

-I'm pretty confident, actually.

-Could it be perfection?

-It might.

All right. It's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So these are the four statements and next to them are Shanine's answers.

-Rich, has she achieved perfection?

-I think she's done really well. I'm sure the first three are right

and probably the fourth one.

-Laura, what do you think?

-A, B and C, definite. If any are wrong, it'll be D.

The moment of truth. They think you've done well, you're confident.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Congratulations, Shanine. You have achieved perfection.

Very good. Let's look at those answers in detail.

-A velodrome is an arena for cycle racing. After the last Olympics, I think everyone knows.

-Yeah.

True or false? It is true. The United States bought Alaska from Russia. You said true.

And it is...true.

Bought it for 7.2 million in 1867.

Raiders of the Lost Ark is set in the 1960s. You said it was set at the time of the Second World War.

And it is, of course, false.

1936 it was actually set. Ken Livingstone was educated at Harrow School. You KNEW that to be false?

He's a working class... Well, I don't think he was public school-educated anyway.

We now know that you're right. It was false.

St Leonard's Primary School and Tulse Hill Comprehensive.

So, Shanine, as a result of that perfect performance, you've made winning the prize fund of £2,000

a lot easier. Let's see your final board. It's showing two categories chosen by the Usual Suspects,

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

-I'd like Britpop.

-Britpop goes across into the final.

-And TV Drama.

-And TV Drama.

Usual Suspects, I'm now going to switch you off. We'll see you in the next round. And away they go.

Well done. By choosing your own categories, hopefully you've made winning easier. Shall we carry on?

-Indeed, yeah, let's.

-Let's play Round Three.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-False.

-False.

-I'm going to say true.

-True.

-Just a guess. I'm going to say true.

-True. And finally...

-Another guess. False.

-False.

And with almost half your time to spare, you've answered all four.

-You really don't hang around.

-The longer you think, the longer you doubt yourself.

-Good theory.

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

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

-Juliet, has she achieved perfection?

-I don't think so. She's done quite well.

I know the Masai Mara is in Kenya, but whether it's in Namibia, I'm not sure.

-And I'm not too sure about D.

-Rich, what do you make of them?

I agree with Juliet. Masai Mara is in Kenya. That's definitely false.

The moment of truth. You need to answer all four perfectly.

How many are correct?

-3 out of 4 is pretty good.

-More than I thought I got!

But it's not perfection. As a result, your enemies are back in.

Can they steal the round? You can see Shanine's answers. You have to change just one. Which?

A is correct. Gazpacho is traditionally served cold.

-Minestrone soup is that rubbish stuff they do at school.

-With pasta, tiny wee pastas.

-Masai Mara's in Kenya.

-C from true to false, please, Nick.

That leaves A, B and D as answered by Shanine.

Let's see what the correct answers are.

Minestrone soup is traditionally served cold. True or false?

It is false. It's actually gazpacho that is served cold, not minestrone.

Not all minestrone is like the stuff you used to get at school, Rich.

-Sorry!

-You've upset a lot of Italians.

Bauxite is the main ore of aluminium. True or false? That is true.

The Masai Mara National Reserve is in Namibia. Is that true or false?

It is false. It is in Kenya, south west Kenya.

You know where this is going. Fulham was a founder member of the Football League.

It is false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You achieved perfection.

Just to clear up that final answer, the Football League didn't originally include any London clubs.

Shanine, they have succeeded and stolen the round.

You now have the opportunity to make Shanine's chances of winning much harder. Let's look at the board.

Four subject categories evenly split so far between Shanine and yourselves,

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

-So which ones would you like?

-I think The Pope will be difficult,

-if it asks you which one is which.

-And I think Tapestry. It's totally random. Definitely Tapestry.

-Would you agree, Rich?

-I'm happy.

-We'll go for The Pope and Tapestry, Nick.

-The Pope goes across.

And Tapestry makes up the sixth category. We now know the six final categories.

Guys, it's time to switch you off for the final time. Cheerio.

What do you make of those last two?

Tapestry could be anything, so I'm not too confident on that.

The Pope. I work in the Church of England archive, so I've been reading about Pope John Paul

and his visit to London in '82, so I might be OK.

OK, Shanine, for £2,000 it's time to play the final.

Shanine, this is the all-important final. If you achieve perfection, you could leave with £2,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing and one of the Usual Suspects could play for £3,000 in the next game.

So let's play the final round.

Shanine, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £2,000. Think carefully.

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

-I am, yeah.

Then let's reveal your first statement. Tell me if you believe it to be true or false. Carry On.

I know it was a Carry On film. I've got in my head that it was about a policeman and black and white.

-So I'm going to say false.

-False.

Economics.

Viv Nicholson won the Pools back in the 1960s.

-I don't think she was related to the head of the IMF, so I'm going to say false.

-False.

Britpop.

-I'm not a huge Blur fan, but I'm going to say true.

-True.

TV Drama.

I can picture him in my head and I know he was in that '70s series.

I'm not sure if his name's Martin Sheen. No, Martin Sheen's the dad of Charlie Sheen, so false.

False.

The Pope.

It sounds like an Italian place, but whether it's where he stays, I really don't know.

-I'm going to be bold and say true.

-True.

And, finally, Tapestry.

I think it's kind of like the Battle of Hastings. The 100 Years' War was kind of 1700s, 1800s.

So I'm going to say false.

False. And with that, Shanine, those answers are locked in.

-One mistake and win nothing. Which ones are you unsure of?

-Definitely E.

-The rest I'm reasonably confident on.

-OK, let's bring back the Usual Suspects and see what they say.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements and Shanine's answers. They are locked in.

If you think you made a mistake, you can unlock them with their help, but at a cost.

-Who would you like to hear from first?

-I'll start with Rich.

-I predicted perfection twice.

-I'm going to say you've got it again.

-Very nice. You didn't think about cheating her out of the money

-and coming down?

-No comment.

-You're an honest guy, are you?

Or he might be bluffing and he wants it to roll over.

-Who's next?

-I'll go with Juliet.

-Two of them I wouldn't be sure on and one is definitely wrong.

Does that translate into wanting to come down to help out?

On the basis of the two that I don't know, I'm afraid not, sorry.

-OK. Juliet won't help.

-Laura.

The same. There's definitely one I think is wrong and two I'm not sure about. Sorry about the categories!

If I knew, I'd come and help you, but I can't, sorry.

-Negotiations are over and none of the Usual Suspects are willing to help. You're on your own.

-Fine.

£2,000 at stake, six answers away. Let's find out if you've achieved perfection.

-If a statement turns green, it's true. If red, it's false. Shall we start at the top?

-Yeah.

Carry On Dick was the first colour Carry On film. You said you remembered it in black and white.

-Is that right?

-Yeah. I'm not 100% sure, admittedly now, looking at it.

Nonetheless, that's your reasoning. We need this to turn red to get you on your way. True or false?

It is false. Very well done.

Carry On Cruising was the first in colour. The first female head of the IMF was Viv Nicholson.

You weren't sure who the first female head was, but you said Viv Nicholson won on the Pools.

-Yes.

-So unless she did really well, she wouldn't be promoted.

We need this to turn red to get you a third of the way there. Is it true or false?

It is false. Very well done.

Christine Lagarde is the first female head of the IMF and Viv Nicholson won the Pools.

Alex James was the drummer of Blur. This is one you were confident with.

You knew he was in Blur and you said true. Is that true or false?

-It's false!

-Oh!

Of course - he was the bassist!

He is the bassist, not the drummer.

Alex James very famously in Blur, but he was the bass player, not the drummer.

I'm afraid you've failed to achieve perfection. Let's look at the rest. You may achieve perfection at home.

Judge John Deed was played by Martin Sheen.

You said false. Is that true or false?

It is false, in actual fact.

Martin Shaw played John Deed.

The Pope's summer residence is in Castel Gandolfo. You said true. Is it true or false?

It is true. Do you want to have a second one wrong?

-I'm not sure now!

-It's quite upsetting when you miss it by one.

-Yeah.

The Bayeux Tapestry depicts The Hundred Years' War. You said it depicts...

-The Battle of Hastings.

-1066.

So is it true or is it false?

It is false. It depicts the Battle of Hastings, so the only one you got wrong

-was that Alex James is the drummer with Blur. The moment I said it...

-I didn't read the question properly.

-You went with "in Blur".

-Oh. Yeah.

-You were that close.

-I thought I'd get loads wrong. I can't believe it's just one.

-So frustrating.

-And it's one you knew, really!

-Yes. Yeah. Oh.

-A category you picked yourself!

-Double whammy.

-Really frustrating.

Fantastic news for the Usual Suspects. The prize fund rolls over and they could play for £3,000!

Bad luck, Shanine. You played incredibly well, but you go home with nothing but our thanks.

-Thank you.

-Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for Shanine.

That's all we have time for. Join us next time when our Usual Suspects have the chance again

to play for £3,000, but remember on this show we only pay for perfection. Goodbye.
