Episode 34 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz show that demands perfection.

Behind this screen are four contestants who'll be hoping their knowledge is flawless.

One 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, 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 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?

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

Answering true or false might seem easy

but if the contestant gets a single answer wrong, the Usual Suspects

will be allowed into the game to capitalise on their mistakes.

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

Hello. My name's Stacey. I'm from Birmingham.

I'm a physiotherapist and this is my first game.

Hi. My name is Rich. I live in Poole.

I'm a teacher and this is my second game.

Hello. I'm Juliet. I'm from Maidstone in Kent.

I'm a transcription administrator and this is my third game.

Hello. My name's Laura. I'm from Edinburgh.

I'm a hairdresser and this is my fifth game.

Welcome to you all, especially Stacey, playing her first game. Good luck to you all.

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

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

APPLAUSE

Welcome to the show. A little bit disappointed not to have a chance to be up

there as a Usual Suspect?

It would be nice to settle in and get a feel for it.

But also nice to bypass them and come and take the cash.

-Yeah.

-That would be good.

-Yeah.

-Find out a bit more about you.

A fairly new mum?

-Yeah, I've got a six-month-old daughter called Matilda.

-Aw!

-Big change in life?

-Um...yeah. Change I were ready for.

No more late nights, no more short-term plans.

-Not late nights in that kind of way. A new kind of late night!

-Yeah.

Stacey, good luck. It's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

Their job is to stop you wining the prize fund.

Your failure will mean it rolls over to the next game where

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

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Nobody's won the last two games, so the prize fund currently stands at £3,000.

APPLAUSE

-That would be handy, with a new baby around.

-Yeah, that'd do.

What would you spend it on?

My husband's brother lives in New York

and they had a baby two months before us, so it'd be nice to see them.

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

Every round you achieve perfection will make the final easier for you.

However, if your performance is anything less than perfect,

they get a chance to step in and steal the round, making the final that much harder for you.

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

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

You'll be answering against the clock. Once you've given me an answer, it will be locked in.

-Do you understand?

-Yeah.

OK, if you're ready, let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round One, your 45 seconds starts now.

-Is that true or false?

-I'd say that was true.

-I think it's probably gone up recently, so I'd say true.

-True.

-I'm not sure on that one at all. I'd say false.

-False.

-Again, another guess, but I'm going to say true.

-True. And finally...

I think that's the one where she's over the grate with the white

skirt, so I'm going to say true.

-True. And you've answered all four statements. A good round?

-Average.

-Yeah.

-You don't think you've achieved perfection?

-I'm not sure.

-If I have, it would be good guesswork.

-OK.

Before we reveal exactly 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 Stacey's answers.

Laura, has she achieved perfection?

I think she's probably close to perfection,

but I think C could be false.

OK, Rich, what do you make of those answers?

I think Transylvania's in Romania. C is a bit dodgy.

D, I haven't got a clue.

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

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

And that means you've let the Usual Suspects back into the game.

Usual Suspects, you can steal the round. You can see Stacey's answers.

You need to change one, but which one?

-I think it is unicorn.

-Yeah, go for it.

-Yeah, we'll go for C.

C, please, Nick.

You'd like to change C from true to false,

leaving A, B and D as answered by Stacey.

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

Average male life expectancy in the UK is over 70.

Is that true or false?

It is true.

Transylvania is part of present day Bulgaria, is that true or false?

It is false. Part of Romania, as Rich said.

Unicorns were believed to originate in Cornwall. Is that true or false?

It is false. They first appear in Greek, Chinese and Indian myths.

Finally, Marilyn Monroe starred in The Seven Year Itch.

Is that true or false?

It is true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

They managed to succeed where you failed and have stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Stacey's chances of winning

the prize fund much harder in the final and I'll show you how.

Stacey, appearing before you is your final board.

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

Here are your final round categories,

starting with Disneyland, running through Poirot, London, Rock Bands

and on to Mountains, with many others in between.

If you had won that round, you'd have the opportunity of adding two categories to the final board.

But because the Usual Suspects stole the round, they get the chance to choose two categories,

hoping to make the final harder for you to win. So, Usual Suspects,

which two would you like Stacey to play in the final?

-What do we think?

-Classic Books. Yeah?

-A bit of telepathy going on there!

-Do you want to put that one across?

-Yeah, definitely. Classic Books.

-Classic Books goes across. And?

-What about Poirot?

-Yeah?

-So Poirot?

-Yeah.

Thank you. Poirot goes across. Well done. You've won the round.

It's time to switch you off and we'll see you in Round Two.

What do you make of the two they've chosen for you? Classic Books?

To be honest, they'd probably be the two that I wouldn't have picked for myself.

They've already done that for you, picked two you really don't want.

Which two would be the first couple that you would choose?

Disneyland, um... Maybe Dogs.

-Disneyland and Dogs, you'd quite like to pick.

-Yes.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Let's play Round Two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

I think a speakeasy had something to do with alcohol.

-I'm going to say false.

-False.

-I went to university in Leeds, so that's true.

-True.

I think I might remember...

I don't know how long it was but I'm sure it was overnight

-and it was long. So true.

-True.

And finally...

Just trying to picture him. Um...true.

True. With time to spare, you answered all four. Happy with those?

-That felt like a good round to me.

-Yeah...yeah. Hopefully.

Well, it's now time for us to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, these were the four statements and next to them

are Stacey's answers. Rich, has she achieved perfection?

I think she probably has.

OK, Juliet, can you cast any light on this?

I'm not sure about the longest pro tennis match.

I think it's probably around nine hours. So a bit dubious about C.

Thank you, Juliet. Laura, what do you think?

My only doubt would probably be Chris Moyles, B.

-But I do think she has achieved perfection.

-There you go.

It seems to be pretty much a vote of confidence.

So let's find out how many are correct.

Congratulations. You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Well, Stacey. Very well done. Let's take a look through those answers.

A speakeasy was another name for a library. Is that true or false?

It is false. Usually associated with a drinking establishment.

Somewhere where alcohol's being served.

Chris Moyles was born in Leeds. You were fairly confident on this one

and you were absolutely right to be so co us it is true.

The longest pro tennis match lasted over ten hours. And that is true.

It lasted over 11 hours, in actual fact.

Release Me was a hit for Engelbert Humperdinck

and that is of course true. Very well done, Stacey.

As a result of that perfect play,

you have made winning the prize fund of £3,000 a lot easier.

Let's have a look at your final board.

Already on there are two categories chosen by the Usual Suspects,

but you've earned the right to

choose the next two categories to add to the board.

-So what do you fancy for the final?

-Dogs.

-Dogs goes across.

-And Disneyland.

-And Disneyland. Thank you.

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

-And away they go. Are you ready to press on?

-Yeah.

Let's play Round Three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-That's Aliens, Ridley Scott. But I think that's true.

-True.

Just trying to think when I sent my last Father's Day card.

-I think that's true.

-True.

I think that's false. It's got an overground.

-I've nearly been run over by a tram. So that's...false.

-False.

You said false first, so I'm taking false.

-True.

-True.

-True.

And again, you used the time very well and as a result,

you've answered all four statements.

Time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Stacey's answers.

-Juliet, has she achieved perfection this time?

-No, Nick.

-I think A wrong.

-Ah, OK.

-Laura, what do you think?

-It was D that I thought...

I didn't think it was as much as 10,000.

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

Three out of four's pretty good, but it's not perfection.

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

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see Stacey's answers. You need to change just one. But which one?

-10,000 doesn't sound like much.

-You no think?

-I'm trying to add it up.

-I'm thinking of hours and minutes.

-Ten a minute? 600 an hour?

-I don't do maths.

-Shall we change A?

-Let's do A.

-Yeah. We'll try A.

We'll change A.

OK, A changes from true to false, leaving B, C

and D as answered by Stacey.

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

Ridley Scott directed The Last Of The Mohicans. Is that true or false?

It is false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You know where this is going now. It was directed by Michael Mann.

In the UK, Father's Day is celebrated in June.

Is that true or false?

That is of course true. Manchester has an underground railway network.

Is that true or false?

It is false. It has a tram system, as you well know.

A human takes more that 10,000 breaths per day. Seems a lot.

But of course it is...true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Well, well. Stacey, they nipped in and succeeded where you failed and they've stolen that round.

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

chances of winning the prize fund that little bit harder. Let's see the final board.

It's a 50-50 game up until now, but because the Usual Suspects won that round,

they've earned the right to choose the last two,

-so what would you like Stacey to play in the final?

-Mountains, maybe?

-Yeah.

She never chose Corrie when she chose the categories.

Do you think she doesn't know that much about it?

-Corrie then and one other.

-What about Motorways?

-Just pick one you both agree on.

-Shall we go Mountains?

-Yeah, Mountains.

-Mountains and Corrie, please.

-Thank you very much.

Mountains goes across into the final, followed by Corrie.

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

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

And away they go.

-Mountains?

-My geography's OK.

-Corrie?

I used to watch Corrie, but I don't really watch any soaps any more.

So it would depend on when.

-It's a busy old life what with looking after the baby.

-Yeah.

So, Stacey, for £3,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

This is the all-important final. If you can achieve perfection,

you could be leaving with a prize fund of £3,000.

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

One of them could be playing for a rollover of £4,000. So, let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Stacey, 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 is locked in. Are you ready?

-Yes.

Then let's reveal your first statement.

Tell me whether you believe it to be true or false.

Classic Books.

It's not a book I've read. I'm going to go with false.

False.

Poirot.

I've never seen any Poirot. Um...

So again, it's a guess.

-I'm going to go with true.

-True.

Dogs.

There's lots of designer breeds now.

A dachshund and a corgi? I could see that happening.

-So I'm going to say true.

-True.

Disneyland.

-I think there is. I'm going to say true.

-True.

Mountains.

-I'm going to go with...false.

-False. And finally Corrie.

I think Curly was a character in EastEnders. Or was that Lofty?

I'm going to say true.

True. Stacey, those answers are locked in.

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

Which ones are you unsure of?

I'd say C and D, I'd feel the most confident about.

The others were guesses, to be honest.

-A bit of pressure up here.

-A little bit! It's easier watching!

-Yeah.

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 Stacey's answers.

Stacey, your answers are now locked in and you can't change them, 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, I'm now going to ask you to tell me how well you think Stacey has done,

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

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

-Laura.

I don't think you've achieved perfection.

I think there is definitely at least one wrong.

But I think there may be another as well.

I'm not sure, so I wouldn't be looking to help at this stage, sorry.

-Laura doesn't want to come down. Who next?

-Juliet.

I don't think you've achieved perfection.

-I think two questions are wrong.

-So does that mean you'd like to come down and help?

I'm not that confident in my own answers for those, so I wouldn't be prepared to come down.

-Would you like to hear from Rich?

-Yeah, why not?

I think you've done well. I don't think you've got perfection.

I'm not totally confident that together we would get perfection.

-You'd have to make me a very good offer.

-That's interesting.

So there is an offer on the table, albeit an expensive one. You have a choice to make.

Would you like to go it alone or start negotiating with Rich?

Rich, I would say I'm 95% certain about those answers,

but I just need clarification on one.

And I would be prepared to offer you £1,000 if you wanted to come down.

-So what do you make of the offer?

-Good try. Um...

I was hoping you'd give me more than half.

-So maybe we're not going to meet near the middle, are we?

-No.

OK, good luck.

-You're going it alone?

-Yes.

-OK, negotiations have come to an end.

You are on your own. £3,000 at stake, six answers away.

Let's find out if you achieved perfection.

I'm interested, when you were saying to the Usual Suspects, I only

need clarification on one, was there one you needed clarification on?

No, four, I needed clarification on!

-You were just trying to get them to come down and join in.

-Yeah.

-That's the game, isn't it?

In the end, they didn't want to come down and you've been left to do on your own.

Let's start at the top and work our way down and see how far we get.

Lord Of The Flies is set on Jersey,

you said it wasn't a book you'd read.

You said it was false. So is it true or false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

It's set on an island in the Pacific.

So we go on to Miss Lemon is Poirot's secretary.

For this one, you said true. So is it true or false?

It is true.

APPLAUSE

We now move onto a subject you chose for yourself. Dogs.

A dorgi is a cross between a dachshund and a corgi. You said there are a lot of these

-kind of crosses around at the moment, so that could be true.

-Yeah.

If this turns green, you're halfway to the £3,000.

Is it true or false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

So, look, halfway to the money.

However, how sure are you about this one?

There's another one that you chose

and you felt there was a Disneyland theme park in Japan.

If it turns green, you're only two away from the £3,000.

Is it true or false?

It is true.

APPLAUSE

You are very close now. Only two away.

The Himalayas are named after an Indian god. You said this was false.

-Why?

-Just had to guess true or false. So...false!

Somebody's got to be smiling on you for you to get this right now.

The Himalayas are named after an Indian god, you said false.

If it turns red, you're one away from £3,000.

Is it true or false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

Actually, the name's from Sanskrit. Here we are, five out of six,

on a final board that you weren't too comfortable on.

And really trying to encourage someone to come down

-and help you change a couple.

-Yeah.

Is it possible that you actually have managed to do it

all on your own and that if someone had come down,

they could only have changed it for the worse or did you need someone for this final statement?

Kevin Kennedy played Curly in Coronation Street.

You answered true. You need this to turn green.

If it does, you're walking away with £3,000.

If it turns red, you walk away with nothing,

having fallen at the last hurdle.

Kevin Kennedy played Curly in Coronation Street.

Is it true or false?

For £3,000.

Congratulations! You have achieved perfection!

And won £3,000!

APPLAUSE

Thank you very much.

Very good!

-You will be going to New York!

-Yeah, hopefully!

-That's fantastic!

-So if you'd have managed to bluff someone up there into coming down

and helping you out, they would have changed something away from winning.

-Possibly.

-Someone was smiling on you there.

-Yeah.

-Congratulations to you.

Unfortunately for you, Usual Suspects, the prize fund has

been won, so we reset the total back to £1,000 for our next game.

Congratulations, Stacey. You achieved perfection. You won £3,000.

-Let's hear it for Stacey.

-APPLAUSE

OK, it's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect hoping to play Perfection today.

-New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

-Hello, my name is John.

I'm from North Shoebury in Essex and I'm a retired civil servant.

Welcome to you, John. Can I just start by saying what a magnificent beard that is.

You don't see many beards of that quality these days and that's a quality beard.

-Thank you. It sort of grows on you.

-I can imagine it does!

Best of luck to you and all of you, as we now

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

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

APPLAUSE

-Welcome to the show. A hairdresser.

-Yes. I am.

-You're interested in your keep-fit.

-Yes, I like going to the gym.

Although I must admit I've not been for over a week. But yes, normally, quite often.

I don't get much chance myself at the moment.

-Into your horse riding.

-Yes. Again, I've not been for a while.

But I was doing that quite a lot, bringing it up to gallops. So trying to get back into that as well.

-How have you enjoyed being a Usual Suspect?

-I've really enjoyed it.

It's been good. I'm glad I got the chance to be like team captain as well. Some people are on and off.

You spent some time understanding how it all works and how they're thinking.

-Hopefully!

-Laura, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000. Unfortunately for you, the previous game was won,

so the prize fund is reset to just £1,000.

But £1,000 is good money by anybody's standards and if you

were to leave here with £1,000, what would happen to that money?

I did say I was going to give some money to charity, so I probably still would.

And then I'm going to Madrid in a few weeks' time and I'm also

going to Dublin, so a bit of extra spending money for that.

Three rounds and a final to come. Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off for now,

so you can't hear anything, but as soon as Laura makes a mistake, you will be back in the game.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Big deep breath.

-Mm-hmm.

Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round One. Your 45 seconds start now.

-I'm going to say false to that.

-False.

-True.

-True.

-False.

-False.

-Erm... False to that as well.

-False, and with plenty of time to spare,

you've answered all four statements. That was easy, wasn't it?

-I hope so.

-Confident about that round?

-Um... Confident-ish.

Well, before we reveal exactly how well you've done,

it's time for us to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Juliet, has she achieved perfection?

I don't think so. I think that A and D are possibly wrong.

What do you think, Rich?

I think she's got three out of four, but I would have changed B.

-John?

-I agree with Rich.

I think B is wrong because I think

the editor of Private Eye magazine is Ian Hislop.

Interesting. Laura, let's find out how many are correct.

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

which means the Usual Suspects are back in the game with

a chance to steal the round.

You can see Laura's answers, you need to change just one of them.

-Which one's it going to be?

-I think I would go with you.

-I thought Ian Hislop was the editor of Private Eye.

-Absolutely.

Very good. I was suspicious about Paul Merton but I do know it's him.

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

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

Usual Suspects, let's find out how many you've got correct.

Steve Jobs once ran for US President, is that true or false?

It is false. He was best known as the head of Apple.

Paul Merton is the editor of Private Eye magazine. Is that true or false?

Yes, that is false. It is Ian Hislop.

Before 1890, a week consisted of nine days. Is that true or false?

It is false. It's been a seven day week since the 6th century BC.

St Hubbins is the patron saint of shoemakers. Is that true or false?

It is false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

St Hubbins is a made up name from the film Spinal Tap,

if you're a fan of that film. Oh, dear, Laura.

They've stolen the round. Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Laura's chances

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

Laura, appearing before you is your final board.

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

Here are your categories, starting with Birds, moving through Dance, the Internet, Live Aid

and on to Anglo-Saxons with others in between.

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

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

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

Don't give her Bieber. She loves Bieber, I bet.

-FA Cup, she'd hate that one.

-And certainly Anglo-Saxons.

-Yeah.

I was thinking that one.

I think we'll move across FA Cup and Anglo-Saxons.

FA Cup goes into the final, as does Anglo-Saxons.

-Well done, Usual Suspects.

-You were my friends(!)

You've won the first round. It's time to switch you off. We'll see you in round two. Cheerio.

-Away they go. FA Cup?

-Erm...

-Nah!

-Unless it's a famous...

-Anglo-Saxons?

-No, not really.

Well, looking over at the list on the left there, pick me

two that you will choose if you get the opportunity.

DiCaprio and Dance, I would say.

-Justin Bieber probably not, actually.

-Is that right?

-I don't know much about Justin Bieber.

-That's handy.

They're unlikely to choose it. You might be in the clear.

-Yeah.

-Shall we press on to round two?

-Three out of four's not bad, you only need to go one better.

-Right.

-Ready?

-Yeah.

-Let's play Round Two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-That is true.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-I really can't see it. I'm going to say false.

-False.

-Fal... False.

-False.

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

-You don't hang around, do you?

-No.

Maybe I should hang around a bit longer and think about it more.

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

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

So, John, has she achieved perfection?

No, I don't think she has.

Question B, they were not written by Frank Richards.

That answer should be false.

-Juliet?

-I don't think that Russell Brand is Jo Brand's nephew.

I'm sure she'd have had something to say about that in her act.

Laura, the moment of truth. Let's find out how many you got correct.

OK.

Just one out of four, I'm afraid. Your enemies are back in the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal this round?

You need to change three of Laura's answers. Which three?

She is correct with D, it was definitely not bombed.

-So it's the other three.

-There was no bombing of America.

-I'd go for A.

-We change A, B and C then.

-That's correct, yeah.

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

-A goes from true to false.

-B from true to false.

-B from true to false.

-And C from false to true.

-C from false to true, leaving D as answered by Laura.

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

Russell Brand is the nephew of Jo Brand, true or false?

That is of course false. They're not related at all.

And the Just William books were by Frank Richards. True or false?

That is false, of course. Richmall Crompton actually wrote them.

Colin Farrell once worked as a line-dancing teacher.

Is that true or false?

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

And the White House was bombed during World War II, true or false?

It's false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Laura, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed and they've stolen the round.

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

chances of winning the prize fund of £1,000 much harder.

Let's see the final board.

Two subject categories chosen on there by the Usual Suspects

and because you won the round again, you've earned the right to choose the next two categories.

Which two would you like Laura to play in the final?

I think Beef might be an interesting one.

Yeah?

How about Birds or Flowers?

That's just what I thought, too.

Shall we go for Flowers?

We'd like to go for Flowers, please, and Beef.

Flowers and Beef go across into the final.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You won the second round, doing very well so far.

Time to switch off. We'll see you in Round Three.

Away they go.

Let's look at those two. Flowers?

I think I'm not bad at Flowers.

-Beef?

-Erm...

-You're not veggie, are you?

I was a veggie for years, actually.

But I've eaten meat again for around three years, so...

-You might have a chance?

-Yeah.

-You ready to play?

-Yes.

Good, let's play Round Three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-I've got to say true for that.

-True?

-False.

-False?

I dinnae know much about England, really.

I have to say false. I've never heard of that.

-False?

-Yeah.

False, I think.

-False?

-Yeah.

You trying to do sums in your head?

Yeah!

Happy with that or not?

Think so.

-You weren't so keen on C, were you?

-No.

Before we reveal exactly how well you've done,

time to see what the Usual Suspects have to say.

These were the four statements. Next to them, Laura's answers.

Rich, is it perfection this time?

Sorry, no.

C is definitely wrong.

I can't believe Lewis Hamilton has a black belt,

but maybe you know more than me.

John, can you see any errors there?

Yes, I agree with Rich. C is not correct.

Speaker's Corner IS in Hyde Park.

Laura, the moment of truth.

Let's see how many are correct.

Two out of four. Not perfection.

You know the Usual Suspects try and win the round from you.

You can see Laura's answers.

You need to change two. Which will it be?

It's got to be C,

but D might be true.

I think it is seven along,

but maybe it's higher up than six.

Let's go the other way.

I'm happy to go with Lewis Hamilton. A and C I'd change, I think.

I'm happy to go with A and C.

Two against one. I'll agree with you.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

We'll change A from true to false, please.

-A from true to false.

-And C from false to true.

C from false to true,

leaving B and D as Laura answered.

Was it D that troubled you, John?

Yes, it was.

Let's find out the correct answers.

Is A true or false?

It's true.

You've blown it at the first hurdle, Usual Suspects.

You had the chance to steal the round but failed at perfection.

Maybe you at home could still achieve perfection.

B - true or false?

That is, of course, false.

Can't really see Jeremy on MasterChef, but you never know.

C - is that true or false?

That's true.

It's pointing towards John being right here.

D - is that true or false?

It IS true.

Six sevens, 42.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved Perfection,

you'd now have the opportunity to make Laura's

chances of winning harder in the final.

Let's look at that board.

Four subject categories already chosen by the Usual Suspects,

but nobody managed to win Round Three,

meaning we have two blank spaces still to be filled.

To fill those, you will take it in turn to choose a category.

Laura, as the single player, you choose first.

Which category would you like to be

the only category of your choice in the final?

DiCaprio.

DiCaprio goes across.

Usual Suspects, please choose a category

you think will trouble Laura.

-Birds?

-Birds.

-I thought Birds?

We're unanimous on Birds.

Birds goes across to complete the final card.

We know now our six final categories.

Usual Suspects, time to switch you off.

-You got one in there.

-Yeah.

-That has to help.

-Helps a bit.

Laura, for £1,000,

it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

This is the all-important final.

If you achieve perfection, you could leave with a prize fund of £1,000.

If you fail, you'll leave with nothing. Great news for

the Usual Suspects, as one of them could play for a rollover of £2,000

on the next game.

So, let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Here are your final six categories.

Think carefully, there's no time limit,

but once you've given an answer,

your first answer will be locked in.

-Right, OK.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

FA Cup.

Three times in ten years?

I'd say false.

-False?

-Yeah.

Anglo-Saxons.

I'm not sure,

but I don't think it was. No.

I'll say false for that as well.

-False?

-Yep.

Flowers.

I think it IS in July. True.

True?

Beef.

Erm...

It's a total guess, I'll just say false.

-False?

-Uh-huh.

Now we come to the category you chose for yourself, DiCaprio.

I think it is true.

-True?

-Uh-huh.

Birds.

Yeah, it's true.

True? With that, your answers are locked in.

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

-Yup.

Which are you unsure of?

Silverside joint, definitely.

The football one, as well.

There's probably some others, too.

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

Usual Suspects, you can see

the final six statements,

and next to them, Laura's answers.

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

You can change them with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will, however, come at a cost.

Who would you like to hear from first?

Rich - it looks like he's smiling a lot.

THEY LAUGH

I don't think you've got perfection,

but you have done very well, this last round,

but you need some help.

What does that mean, Rich?

Sorry, I want more money.

-You're not coming down at all?

-No.

-Rich is out.

-Fine.

Juliet.

I think you've done quite well.

Three definitely right.

One I know is wrong.

And the other two,

I wouldn't be certain of.

It would be the ones I'm unsure of that you've probably

not been sure of and had a guess at, so I'm afraid

I can't come down and help.

It's OK, Juliet. John, please.

I think you've done very well,

but there are two I'm not sure about.

However, I'm not clear enough to say I would want to come down.

Anyway, I'd like to be a Usual Suspect for a bit longer.

No problem at all.

Thank you very much anyway, guys.

I think that's negotiations come to a halt there.

None of the Usual Suspects want to help,

so it seems you're on your own.

-OK.

-£1,000 at stake.

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

Let's start at the top.

A - you plumped for false.

We need this to turn red.

Is it true or false?

It IS false. Very well done.

APPLAUSE

They were runners up three times

-in the 1960s.

-OK.

B...

You said your knowledge of English history

-wasn't very good at all.

-No.

However, you felt that didn't sound right,

so you went with false.

Is that true or false?

It IS false.

APPLAUSE

It corresponds to the modern English Midlands.

-Right.

-It's certainly not the South Coast.

C - you sounded reasonably confident?

Yeah, I'm sure I've read it in magazines and stuff like that.

If you get this right, you'll be halfway towards the money.

You need it to turn green.

Is it true or false?

I'm afraid that's false.

And I was saying I knew about flowers.

It's unfortunate, that.

It actually takes place in May.

Right, OK.

I'm afraid you've blown it at that stage

-and will not take home the money.

-That's fine.

Let's look through the rest of the answers.

Perhaps you can still achieve perfection at home.

D - you said this was false.

I thought.

Is it true or false?

It IS false, very well done.

It comes from the rump. That's three out of four.

Leonardo DiCaprio's middle name is Wilhelm ?

The only subject category you chose.

You thought that was right.

You said true.

Is it true or false?

It's true.

-Four out of five.

-Oh!

F - you said this was true.

Is it true or false?

It IS true.

Ah!

You missed by just one.

Frustrating for you,

but fantastic news for the Usual Suspects.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game,

where one of you could play for £2,000!

APPLAUSE

Laura, five out of six, you can hold your head up high.

For a hairdresser, that's not bad!

I hope you've enjoyed the experience,

both being a Usual Suspect and a contestant.

Oh, yeah, I have, totally.

It's been great meeting these different people,

and the whole experience.

And getting to be a Usual Suspect for so long. It's been great.

We've loved having you. Let's hear it for Laura.

APPLAUSE

That's all we have time for. Please join us again

next time when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play again

this time for £2,000.

Remember, five out of six just isn't good enough on this show.

We only pay for Perfection. Goodbye.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
