Episode 36 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz that demands Perfection.

Behind this screen are four contestants

who will be hoping their knowledge is flawless

because one single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome to Perfection,

the quiz show where only perfect play is good enough.

Behind me are the contestants, we call them the Usual Suspects.

They are in our isolation room.

In a moment we will find 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'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

their opponents, the Usual Suspects,

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

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

Hi, I'm Pav, I'm from Doncaster, I'm a support worker

and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Brett, I'm from Dudley, I'm a laser welder

and this is my first game.

Hello, I'm Caroline, I'm from Aylesbury, I'm a home carer

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 seventh game.

Welcome to you all, especially Pav and Brett

who join us for the first time, and best of luck to you

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

Brett, it's you!

-Please, come and play Perfection.

-APPLAUSE

-Brett, welcome to the game.

-Hello, Nick.

Let's find out a bit more about you.

You've actually made quite a few changes in your life recently?

I have, yes, I've lost weight, I've moved house

-and I've changed my job - all in the past two years.

-That's incredible.

-How much weight did you lose?

-Just over 12 1/2 stone, at the moment.

You lost 12 1/2 stone?! That's extraordinary!

-Oh, yes, it's a whole new life for me, believe me.

-Is it really?

-Yes.

-That's very, very exciting, actually.

-Yeah.

Right, well, look, Brett, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your team-mates, they are now your enemies.

Their job is to stop you from winning the prize fund

because your failure will mean the prize-money rolls to the next game,

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

Now, every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Here's the good news for you, nobody has won the last three games

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

APPLAUSE

So, what would you spend the money on?

A new car, for one thing,

cos mine's just gone to the big scrapheap in the sky!

-Literally, has died, has it?

-Last week.

And then I want to treat my godchildren as well.

All right, smashing. Well, good luck. Here's how it works.

You'll play three rounds then a final.

Every round that you achieve Perfection will make the final easier.

If your performance is anything less than perfect

the Usual Suspects, will have a chance to step in and steal the round from you -

making the final that much harder.

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 will be answering against the clock, you'll only get 45 seconds

and once you've given your answer your first answer,

it'll be locked in.

-You ready?

-Right, OK.

-Let's get started and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round one, your 45 seconds start now.

I've heard of the Maastricht Treaty but I'm not sure when it was signed.

Erm, I'm going to say true to it.

True?

Yes, I think that's true because it just looks like it should be!

-So, you're saying...?

-True.

-True.

I have seen those on nature programmes and I believe it is.

-So, true.

-True. And finally...

Oh... famous for its wildlife but I'm not sure exactly where it is.

-Erm...I'll say false.

-False.

-Feel like a good round?

-I think so.

Not exactly 100% certain but...

I think, pretty good.

Before I reveal how well you've done

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

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Brett's answers.

Juliet, has he achieved Perfection?

I think he probably has, looking at the answers, there, yeah.

Pav, can you see anything wrong with these?

I think three are definitely right but I'm not sure about A.

All right, Brett, the moment of truth.

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

Let's find out how many you've got correct.

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

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

Usual suspects, can you steal this round?

You can see Brett's answers, you need to change one. Which one?

-D's definitely right.

-So you think Galapagos is definitely false?

-Yes.

-So, will say that D's right.

-A is definitely true.

And I think that B's right.

Shall we go for C then cos that seems to be the only one that.

I think C is right, I think it must be B

but only by process of elimination.

I thought B, C and D were right but...

What happens in a circumstance

where you can't make the unanimous decision or a majority decision,

it falls to Juliet, as nominal team captain,

as the longest serving Usual Suspect, to make that decision.

-So, what do you think, Juliet?

-A, from true to false.

You're changing A from true to false,

leaving B, C and D as answered by Brett.

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

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

It's true!

GROANING

Signed in 1992. Bad luck, there.

I mean, somebody had to make a decision, Juliet,

and, unfortunately, it had to be you who made the decision.

Are you still on for Perfection at home?

Let's go through the rest of those statements and find out.

Caroline wanted to change the next one...

-Yeah, that's true. You were wrong as well, Caroline.

-We were both wrong!

Maybe that's the one you should've changed?

No, that's true as well.

So, it comes down, finally, to the Galapagos Islands, are part of

Ecuador, which Caroline thought this was a correct answer with false.

Is it true or false?

It's actually true. That's the one you needed to change.

Usual suspects, had you achieved Perfection,

which, by the way, you haven't...

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

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

Brett, this is your final board.

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

Here's the final round categories appearing, starting with War,

up to 1990s Film and many more in between.

Had you achieved Perfection, you would now have the opportunity

of choosing two categories of YOUR choice to add to the board

but because neither side won the round,

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

Meaning four categories will be on offer.

Usual suspects, you had a chance there but you missed it!

-We did.

-We tried.

We're going to switch you off but we'll see you in Round Two.

Brett, pick me two that you like and you would choose to yourself.

-Possibly Fawlty Towers, I think.

-Mm-hm.

And...1990s film.

And two that you're going to try and avoid.

-Rowing and UK finance.

-Right.

Well, remember, Brett, in order to win the prize fund

you'll need to answer all six statements correctly.

So, winning the next round, when there are four categories on offer,

-could prove crucial, yes?

-Yes, right.

-Are you ready for the next round?

-Ready.

Let's play Round Two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now...

Oh, I'm afraid do not know girl bands so...

-false.

-False.

-True.

-True.

-As opposed to Mr Spock!

Erm, I do not know.

I know TS Eliot but I don't know if he won the Nobel Prize.

-I would say false.

-False.

And finally...

Oh, was it George VI? Erm...

-true!

-True.

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

Quite decisive in your answers.

I try, just not too sure about George VI.

I know it was to do with marrying Wallis Simpson but was it George VI?

Hm, before we reveal how well you've done,

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

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Brett's answers.

Caroline, has he achieved Perfection this time?

He's got at least three out of four. I couldn't swear about C.

-Juliet, what do you think?

-Erm, I'd go along with that.

C is the only one that I think might be a guess.

So, I think, probably, three out of four.

All right, Brett, the moment of truth.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Oh!

Two out of four. Brett, had you achieved Perfection

you could have chosen your own categories.

As it is, you've let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

Can you steal the round this time, Usual Suspects?

-You've been given another chance!

-Yes, we can!

You need to change two of them. Which two are you going to change?

-B and D are definitely right.

-Yeah, so I think I would change a and C.

A and C? Yeah, we'd like to change A from false to true, please.

-A changes from false to true.

-And C from false to true.

C from false to true, leaving B and D, as answered by Brett.

-Feeling a bit more confident about this one are you?

-Hopefully!

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

That's false, fallen at the first hurdle, I'm afraid!

She's a Conservative MP!

LAUGHTER

You're thinking of Nadine Coyle.

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

but you failed to achieve Perfection.

Still on for Perfection at home? Let's go through the rest of those statements and answers.

Dr Spock was a famous American paediatrician - true or false?

Yeah, that's true.

TS Eliot received the Nobel Prize in Literature - is that true or false?

That's true. Moving on.

George VI abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson - yes, Caroline?

It was Edward VIII.

-Yeah. So is it true or false? It is in fact...

-False.

-..false, because it was Edward...

-..VIII.

..VIII.

If you had achieved Perfection, you'd now have the opportunity

to make Brett's chance of winning the prize fund

much harder in the final. Let's have a look at the board.

Here we are, two rounds in. Brett, because neither side won the round,

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

to the next round, meaning six categories will be on offer.

Basically, the whole board will rest on Round 3.

Usual Suspects, time to switch you off.

"Could do better," I think, would be the school report.

I'll see you later.

Brett, with six categories on offer,

this is now obviously a crucial round.

-Are you ready?

-Ready.

-Let's play Round 3.

Your 45 seconds start now.

-I'm sure they use pigs for finding those underground - true.

-True.

I'm not sure, but I don't think that's right.

-I think that's false.

-False.

Degas was a painter...

-True.

-True.

And finally...

I'm not an expert on the periodic table. I'm not sure of that.

I don't think that's right, I think that's false.

False. And again, with time to spare,

you answered all four statements.

-How do you feel about that round?

-50/50 again, I'm afraid.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Not positive?

-Not positive, no.

-It's a good one to win, this, to be honest.

-Yeah, I want to, yes.

All right, 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 Brett's answers.

-Pav, has he done it this time?

-I think he has, Nick.

I think he's got Perfection.

Caroline, what do you think?

I really am not sure of any of the answers.

Fair enough! Juliet, what do you think?

Not too sure on B and C, but I think A and D are correct.

All right, Brett, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly

to have won the round. Let's find out how many you got correct.

Just one out of four. Well, you haven't achieved Perfection,

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

Is this third time lucky for you, Usual Suspects?

Can you take advantage of it?

You can see Brett's answers, you need to change three. Which three?

-PAV:

-I think truffle is definitely a type of fungus.

-JULIET:

-Because pigs go sniffing for them.

-PAV:

-Exactly.

Yeah. Are you all right with that, Caroline?

-I'm in complete agreement!

-Yes.

We're going to change B from false to true, please.

B from false to true.

-C from true to false.

-C from true to false.

-And D from false to true.

-And D from false to true.

Leaving A as answered by Brett.

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

A truffle is a type of fungus - is that true or false?

Yes, it is true. Which immediately means

you know where this is going, Usual Suspects.

In the musical Annie, the dog's name is Sandy - true or false?

True.

Edgar Degas was a Cubist painter - true or false?

Yeah, it's false, in actual fact. He was an Impressionist painter.

Einsteinium is an element in the periodic table - true or false?

Yeah, it's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved Perfection.

Oh dear, Brett. The Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed

and they've stolen the round.

A particularly nasty one to lose, this, as well.

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

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

Let's see the final board. It is extraordinarily empty.

Because you won the round,

you've earned the right to choose six categories to add to the board.

That's two from this round

and the four that rolled over from the previous.

So, which six would you like Brett to play in the final?

Shall we pick two each?

-Shall we do two each?

-Yes.

Come on then, Pav.

-I think I would be tempted to go in at Sugars.

-Sugars goes across.

-And Rowing.

-And Rowing goes across.

-Therapies.

-Therapies goes in.

And Colours.

Colours goes across.

-Juliet.

-I'm going to be kind and go for KGB(!)

-KGB.

And Ireland.

And Ireland goes in.

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

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

What do you make of those?

-Confusing, to be honest. They could be anything behind there.

-Yeah.

-Not really anything you would have chosen yourself.

-Not at all, no.

All right, Brett, for £4,000, it's time to play the final.

Brett, this is the all-important final.

If you can achieve Perfection, you could be leaving with a prize fund

of £4,000. If you fail, you'll be leaving with nothing,

which would be great news for the Usual Suspects,

because one of them could be playing for a rollover of £5,000 on the next game.

So, let's play the final round.

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

You must answer all six statements perfectly

if you want to win the £4,000.

Think carefully, there's no time limit,

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

-Are you ready?

-I'm ready, yes.

Let's reveal your first statement.

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

Glucose is produced in the blood - it's blood sugar, isn't it?

Dextrose is a natural form for it.

-True.

-True. Rowing.

Never heard of Lord Foppington. I know the Henley Royal Regatta,

but I've never heard of Lord Foppington, so false.

False. Therapies.

I was trying to think of the dog, it was a shih-tzu.

Shiatsu, I think, is a type of massage - true.

True. Colours.

Violet, indigo...

I'm trying to go through the rainbow colours at the moment.

-I think that's true.

-True. KGB.

Oh, seen the place in many films, but if it's the real place, I don't know.

I know they're in Moscow... I'll say true.

True. And finally, Ireland.

I've never been to Ireland, I'm afraid.

I'd love to, but I don't know anything about them.

-I'll say true.

-And with that, those answers are locked in.

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

Which ones were you unsure of?

Cork, for one thing.

And the KGB, whether it's in Lubyanka Square, I don't know.

-So, E and F are the ones troubling you.

-Yeah.

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 Brett's answers.

Brett, your answers are now locked in,

you can't change them 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, I'm now going to ask you to tell me

how well you think Brett has done,

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

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

-Juliet.

Two of them I'm really not sure of.

I'm going to count myself out, I'm sorry.

OK, let's go along the line, then. Caroline.

There's three I'm not sure of, Brett, and unfortunately, because of

that uncertainty, I really don't feel I can help you, but good luck.

Down to you, Pav.

There's one I'm 50% and there's two I've not got a clue,

so sorry, I'm not going to be able to come down this time.

Brett, none of our Usual Suspects are willing to help,

so you're on your own. £4,000 at stake.

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

Let's take a look, shall we? Let's start at the top

and make our way through. Dextrose is another name for glucose -

you said that was true.

-You thought it was just different states of the same thing.

-Yeah.

So, we need this to turn green to get you on your way.

Is that true or is that false?

It's true, jolly good start, well done.

OK, let's press on, then. Henley Royal Regatta was founded

by Lord Foppington - you said you'd never heard of him

but you've heard of the Regatta, so as a result you went for false.

If you're right, this'll turn red.

If you're wrong, it'll turn green and you'll have lost the money.

So, Henley Royal Regatta was founded by Lord Foppington -

is that true or is that false?

It is false.

Founded by Captain Edmund Gardiner.

So, that's a good start, isn't it?

Let's see if we can get you to halfway.

Shiatsu is a type of massage - you said that was true.

If this turns green, you are halfway to the money.

So, is it true or false?

It is true. Very well done.

There's £4,000 on offer and you were trying to get the Usual Suspects

to come down and join you. They weren't particularly interested.

Quite keen for the money to roll over.

And yet here you are, you find yourself halfway towards the £4,000.

Are you feeling a little more confident?

A little more confident, but...

-I'd hate it if I lost on just one wrong answer.

-Would you?

-Yeah.

-What would you spend the £4,000 on? A car, wasn't it?

I need a new car, yeah. And I want to treat my godchildren.

-Marvellous, nice.

-Take those out.

Well, let's go and see how you get on from here.

Indigo is a violet blue colour - you said true.

If this turns green, it means you're right,

and you're only two away from £4,000.

So, is it true or is it false?

It's true.

Now we get to the two that you said you were really unsure about.

When I asked you which ones were worrying you, you said E and F.

The KGB was based in Lubyanka Square in Moscow - you've seen it in films.

-Yes.

-Doesn't necessarily mean it's true, does it?

-No!

-Films do have a way of shifting things around.

-Yeah.

However, you went for true.

If this turns green now, you'll be one away from £4,000.

One away from a replacement car, just after yours died.

KGB was based in Lubyanka Square in Moscow - is that true,

or is it false?

-Oh!

-It's true.

Now, this is really interesting.

I think the Usual Suspects are starting to look a little nervous.

No? Yes? Not really nervous?

OK.

Cork is the Irish Republic's second-largest city.

You've been to Ireland?

No, never been, I'm afraid.

Ooh.

Read a lot about Irish geography and populations and things like that?

Funnily enough, no!

No?

-So, this really rests on just a guess.

-Pure guess.

-A pure guess.

So, Cork is the Irish Republic's second-largest city.

You said that's true.

Which means you need it to turn green.

If it turns green, you leave here with £4,000.

If it turns red, you've fallen at the last hurdle,

and you go away having got just one wrong.

Cork is the Irish Republic's second-largest city -

is that true or false?

For £4,000.

-Yes!

-Congratulations, you have achieved Perfection, Brett,

and won £4,000!

Thank you!

Who needed 'em?!

-Brilliant.

-Fantastic.

After those first three rounds, I thought,

"I'm never going to get near this!"

You are now leaving with £4,000,

so it means you're going to get some transport again.

-Big deal to you, this?

-Oh, very big. Very big.

I've had friends who've been helping me out, giving me lifts and things.

It's just not been fair, relying on them.

And this could make a big difference now.

You've been a fantastic player. Congratulations, well done.

Unfortunately for you, Usual Suspects, the prize fund has

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

A few sad faces, there.

Congratulations, Brett. You achieved Perfection.

You walk out of here with £4,000. Let's hear it for Brett, ladies and gentlemen.

APPLAUSE

Fantastic. It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect

hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hi, I'm John, I'm from Whitehaven

and I manage my own new plant hire company.

Best of luck to you, John and to all of you, as we now find out

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

I knew it was going to be me!

Caroline, it's you, congratulations. Please come and play Perfection.

Caroline, welcome to the show. Now, you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Now, unfortunately for you, the previous game with Brett was won,

so the prize fund is reset to £1,000.

But £1,000 is good money, by anybody's standards.

What would you do with £1,000 if you left here with it?

I'd like to do an English degree, part-time in the evenings.

-Would you?

-Yeah.

Good luck with that.

Three rounds to come and a final.

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

but as soon as Caroline makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game.

Caroline, you can now talk through your answers without

-giving away any vital knowledge, OK?

-Cool.

-Are you ready to start?

-I am.

Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1, your 45 seconds starts now.

-False.

-False.

-I don't know.

-OK.

I don't think he was a Labour MP, I think

he was obviously the leader of the miners, so I'll say

-false to that, as well.

-False.

I think that is true.

True. And finally...

That just sounds really silly.

And on that very loose basis

I'm going to say false.

False. And, with time to spare,

you have answered all four statements.

How did that feel?

-Yeah, fine.

-Did it? All right.

Before we reveal how well you've done,

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

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

are Caroline's answers.

Juliet, how has she done?

I would have said that A was true.

I don't see how sharks couldn't swim faster than humans.

And I've got a feeling that tofu is derived from a kind of

bean curd or something, so I don't think it's from mushrooms.

John, what do you make of those answers?

The shark swimming faster than humans, I think that's wrong.

Wrestling with the Arthur Scargill one, I'm not sure about that.

Tofu one I thought, also, was wrong.

The moment of truth. You need to have answered the statements perfectly

to have won the round. How many are correct?

-Two out of four. It's an average score.

-Yeah.

Sadly, you haven't achieved Perfection.

You've let your enemies into the game.

Can you steal the round, Usual Suspects?

You can see Caroline's answers.

You need to change two, but which two?

-JOHN: I'd certainly change A. JULIET:

-Yeah.

Then it's a toss up between B and C.

Does anybody have a strong opinion?

I think it should be A and C.

-Are we agreed?

-Yeah.

-OK, then.

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

A changes from false to true.

And C from true to false.

C from true to false,

leaving B and D as answered by Caroline.

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

A.

True or false?

Yes, that is true.

Arthur Scargill was a Labour MP.

True or false?

That is false.

He was president of the National Union of Mineworkers,

never elected as an MP.

C.

True or false?

Yeah, it is false.

It's derived from soya beans and you know where this is going, Usual Suspects.

D.

True or false?

It's false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

In actual fact,

she was named Halle after a department store in Cleveland.

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

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

of winning the prize fund that much harder. Here's how.

Caroline, this is your final board appearing.

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

Here are your final round categories,

starting with HMS Bounty,

and onto Seas, with many more in between.

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round, they choose

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

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

-HMS Bounty looks difficult.

-It looks pretty...

HMS Bounty, please.

HMS Bounty. And?

-JULIET:

-Do you want to go on snails?

-Snails, yeah.

-And snails, please.

-And snails goes across.

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

It's time to switch you off, but we will see you in Round 2.

Know anything about HMS Bounty?

-Plenty.

-Do you? That's handy.

I've got a History degree. I know lots about lots.

It depends what the question is.

Very good. Snails?

Oh, escargot in French.

LAUGHTER

Take a look at the ones on the left.

Pick me two that you want to avoid.

Flags and Twitter.

All right, and two that you'd

quite like to choose?

Soul Music and Awards, I think.

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

You still have two more rounds to find Perfection

and choose your own categories for the final.

-You ready for the next round?

-I am, as I'll ever be.

Let's play Round 2, then.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-False.

-False.

I think that's true. I think he gets them all together.

-I think that's true.

-True.

False. It's Slash, he's British.

False. And finally...

That was the rather more attractive Mr Mancini.

He wrote the Pink Panther.

-That's false.

-False.

And with that, you've answered all four statements

comfortably within the time.

So, that was a good round for you, wasn't it?

-I hope so.

-You hope so.

Before we reveal exactly how well you've done,

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

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Caroline's answers.

Pav, what do you reckon? Has she achieved Perfection?

-I think she may have. I'm unsure about A.

-Thank you.

John, can you see any holes in this?

I am not sure about B,

because I wonder whether Black Rod is

connected to the House of Commons, rather than the House of Lords.

Interesting. Caroline,

let's find out how many you have correct.

Congratulations, you have achieved Perfection, Caroline.

APPLAUSE

-Very well played.

-Thank you.

-You seem very chuffed with that.

-I am very chuffed. After the sharks, I'm very chuffed.

-Excellent.

Let's have a look at those answers in detail.

Harold Pinter wrote The Madness Of George III.

You said that was false and we now know it to be...

false, in actual fact.

Alan Bennett actually wrote it.

B. True or false?

We know that to be true.

C.

You were fairly sure of this one when you said it was false.

It is, of course, false.

-He's American.

-Yes.

D.

True or false?

It is, of course, false.

Roberto Mancini managed Manchester City Football Club.

He did, indeed.

-And Henry Mancini you said composed?

-Pink Panther.

You were absolutely right. Very well done, Caroline.

Good knowledge there. As a result of that perfect performance,

you've made winning the prize fund a bit easier. £1,000 up for grabs.

Let's have a look at the final board.

Two subject categories chosen by the Usual Suspects, but,

because you won that round, you get to choose the next two.

So, what do you fancy?

Soul Music.

Soul Music goes across.

-And Awards.

-And Awards.

-Please, thank you.

-Very good.

Usual Suspects, I'm now switching you off.

We'll see you in the next round, where you might get a look in.

And away they go. Caroline, well done.

By choosing your own categories, hopefully you make winning the final easier.

-Are you ready for the next round?

-I am.

-Good.

Then, let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-False. It's in Germany.

-False.

It sure does.

-So you're saying?

-True.

-True.

I...

-think that is true. A little bit before my time. True.

-True.

And, finally...

I haven't the foggiest.

-I'm going to say false, just to make the board look pretty.

-False.

And, with that, you've answered all four statements. Good round?

-I don't know.

-That's very honest of you.

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

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statement

and next to them are Caroline's answers.

John, is it Perfection this time?

Question B, I think FBI stands for

Federal Bureau of Investigation, not Information.

Juliet, anything wrong with it?

I think that B and C are wrong.

OK, Caroline, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered the statements perfectly

to have won the round. How many are correct?

AUDIENCE: Aww.

Just one out of four, in actual fact.

Your enemies, the Usual Suspects, are back in the game.

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

You need to change three of them. Which three?

-OK.

-I would change B, C and D.

-So would I.

-Yeah. Dortmund's in Germany, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-OK.

B from true to false, please.

B changes from true to false.

-C from true to false.

-C from true to false.

And D from false to true.

And D from false to true,

leaving A as answered by Caroline.

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

A.

Is that true or false?

Yes, it is false.

It is in the West of Germany.

You know how this is going to go, now, don't you, Usual Suspects?

FBI stands for the Federal Bureau of Information.

True or false?

It is, of course, false.

It's Federal Bureau of Investigation.

C.

True or false?

Yep, that's false.

Julian Fellowes is the creator of Downton Abbey.

D.

True or false?

That is, of course, true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you've achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

The Usual Suspects have succeed where you failed

-and stolen the round.

-They have.

Usual Suspects, you have the chance to make

Caroline's chances of winning the money harder.

Let's see the final board.

Four subject categories already chosen,

because you won the round, you've earned the right to choose

the last two subject categories to add to the board.

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

I would say Flags and Seas.

Seas, not Postcodes?

Oh, yeah, Postcodes.

I think Flags and Postcodes, for me.

-JULIET:

-I'd definitely go with Flags.

Can we have Flags moved across, please.

Flags goes across.

-Postcodes, I would say.

-Postcodes, please.

-Yeah.

Postcodes goes across.

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

OK, guys, well played.

It's time to switch you off for the final time.

Away they go. What do you think?

It depends what comes up.

-Doesn't it?

-It does indeed.

-Got to take a positive view on this.

-You have.

Caroline, for £1,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

The all-important final. If you achieve Perfection,

you could be leaving with a prize fund of £1,000.

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

which is great news for the Usual Suspects, as one of them

could be playing for a rollover of £2,000 on the next game.

That's what you're trying to stop happening.

So, let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

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

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £1,000. Think carefully.

There's no time limit, but once you've given an answer,

your first answer gets locked in.

-Are you ready?

-I am.

Let's reveal your first statement.

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

HMS Bounty.

I know they weren't fond of him.

I don't know whether he was drowned.

They walked the plank, didn't they?

People they didn't like, they walked the plank.

-I'll say false, Nick.

-False.

Snails.

This really is going to have to be another guess, unfortunately.

I will say...

-I will say true.

-True.

Soul Music.

Now, I know that definitely,

110% to be false, as it was Otis Redding.

-So you're saying?

-False.

-False.

Awards.

Oh, lordy.

Don't you have the Cannes Film Festival?

But I don't think that's necessarily a particularly French thing.

-I'll say true, Nick, please.

-True.

Flags.

Now, I can picture it in my head.

I think there's red,

I think there's white.

I'm going to say false for that one.

False.

Postcodes.

Oh, it's really going to have to be

a complete guess. I'm going to say...

-false, Nick.

-False.

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

If there's a single mistake you leave with nothing.

Which ones are you unsure of?

It would be easier to say which ones I was sure off,

and that would be C and E.

C and E you're sure of,

the rest are a bit of a struggle.

-They are, indeed.

-OK, let's bring back the Usual Suspects

to see what they have to say.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and next to them are Caroline's answers.

Your answers are now locked in. You can't change them by yourself,

but if you think there's a mistake, you can unlock them with

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

Who would you like to hear from first?

I want to hear from John first.

-JOHN:

-I think you have at least two wrong.

I'm not confident enough on the two that I think

you have wrong to come down and help.

Anyone else?

Juliet.

I think two of them I would agree with you on,

but the other four, I'm afraid,

would have to be totally wild guesses.

I really wouldn't have a clue.

So, based on that, I'm afraid, I don't think I'd be any use to you.

Sorry.

So, unfortunately for you, Juliet and John are both out.

I think if I ask Pav, they'll only be an echo, so I think I'm all right.

-You're going to go alone, are you?

-I think I am.

Well, it's entirely your choice which way you want to play it. OK.

So, negotiations are concluded.

It means £1,000 at stake, six answers away.

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

Let's start at the top. Captain Bligh...

You had a long think about this and then decided that it was false.

Despite the fact that you said

they walked the plank, therefore it's false.

-I'd think, if you walk the plank, there's a good chance...

-You'd drown!

Either way, you said false.

You need this to turn red for a good start.

Is it true or false?

It is false. Very good.

APPLAUSE

He and his followers were set adrift on a smaller vessel,

ended up in Timor. OK, B.

This was the next statement.

You thought that might be true.

So, you need this to turn green. Is it true or false?

Well, well. It's true.

Two out of two's very good

and puts you a third of the way to winning the prize fund of £1,000.

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

C.

You said that's 110% false.

Unless he wrote it for Otis Redding.

That makes it less than 110%, doesn't it?

I'm quoting you when I say the 110%.

-That's what you said.

-I remember.

OK. You said false, you need this to turn red.

If it does, you're halfway to £1,000. Is it true or false?

It is false!

APPLAUSE

It was by Otis Redding, with the help of Steve Cropper.

So, here we are. Halfway to £1,000.

The Cesars are France's national film awards.

You plumped for true.

If this turns green, not only will you be

two thirds of the way towards the money,

but you'll be more gobsmacked than when we started.

-Mmm-hmm.

-Cos you didn't have any confidence in this board.

So, is it true or false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

See, now you're starting to believe, aren't you?

No, because E might be... I was thinking of Denmark.

Well, that would be the Danish national flag, then, wouldn't it?

Yeah.

LAUGHTER

The Danish national flag

features the colour blue.

You had a long think about this,

decided it was red and white,

but then decided it by not be, because

it might be Denmark.

Either way, you said false.

So, you need this to turn red.

If it does, you're one away from £1,000.

Although, I'm not quite sure how and I don't think you are, either.

Is it true or false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

It is a white cross on a red background.

You're on the verge of £1,000, here.

I'm trying to stay calm.

Question is, are you right about this last one. It all rests on this.

Postcodes...

-After a bit of a think, you admitted this was a guess.

-Yes.

You decided to go with false. This turns red now, you've won £1,000.

If it turns green, you've won nothing

and the money rolls over to the Usual Suspects in the next game.

E.

You said false. Is it true or false,

for £1,000?

It's true.

The islands were

formally known as Zetland,

hence the ZE postcode.

Well, I'm never forget that now.

No, but look, you got five out of six.

You did really, really well.

Unfortunately, because of that one being wrong at the end, it means you

don't leave with any money, because you failed to achieve Perfection.

However, that's very good news for you, Usual Suspects.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game,

where one of you could be playing for a total of...

APPLAUSE

Caroline, you failed to achieve Perfection,

so you go home with nothing, other than our thanks for being such a fantastic contestant.

-Did you enjoy yourself?

-I loved every minute of it.

Let's hear it for Caroline, everybody.

APPLAUSE

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

chance to play again, this time for £2,000.

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

but we will pay, as you saw in the first game, for absolute perfection.

See you soon. Bye.
