0:00:02 > 0:00:07Welcome to the show that demands perfection. These four contestants hope their knowledge is flawless
0:00:07 > 0:00:11because one mistake could give the game away. This is Perfection.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:28Hello and welcome to Perfection, the quiz show where only perfect play is good enough.
0:00:28 > 0:00:32Behind me are the contestants. We call them the Usual Suspects.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37In a moment, we'll find out which one of them has been randomly selected to play Perfection.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41They will then face a series of "true or false" statements.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43For example, if I said...
0:00:44 > 0:00:47..would you say that's true or false?
0:00:47 > 0:00:50If you said "true", I can tell you, you'd be right.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Answering "true" or "false" might seem easy,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55but if the contestant gets an answer wrong,
0:00:55 > 0:00:59the Usual Suspects can capitalise on their mistakes.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03So you know how the game works. Let's meet the Usual Suspects.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Hiya, my name's Mary and I'm from Liverpool.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10I'm a housewife and this is my first game.
0:01:10 > 0:01:16Hello, I'm Victoria from Radcliffe near Manchester and I'm a lecturer. This is my second game.
0:01:16 > 0:01:22Hi, I'm Pav, I'm from Doncaster. I'm a support worker and this is my fifth game.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Hello, I'm Juliet. I'm from Maidstone in Kent.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29I'm a transcription administrator and this is my 11th game.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32Welcome, especially Mary in her first game,
0:01:32 > 0:01:36and best of luck as we find out who has been randomly picked to play Perfection.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Juliet, it's you that's been chosen. Please come and play.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53Juliet, welcome to the game. Tell us about your home life. Family?
0:01:53 > 0:01:58Yes, I've been married to David, who's an accountant, for 26 years.
0:01:58 > 0:02:02I've got three lovely daughters. I'm very proud of all of them.
0:02:02 > 0:02:08- Are they proud of you, especially with your impressions?- I have been known to do one or two.- Give us one.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12- You do Gollum? - Gollum from Lord Of The Rings. Don't take this personally.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17- AS GOLLUM: Stupid, fat Hobbit, you've ruined it! - That's very good, actually.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20And slightly frightening too.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Juliet, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27Their job is to stop you from winning the prize fund
0:02:27 > 0:02:33because your failure means the prize money rolls over and one of them could then play for a bigger total.
0:02:33 > 0:02:38Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000. Nobody has won the last three games,
0:02:38 > 0:02:42so the prize fund currently stands at £4,000.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44APPLAUSE
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- That'd be rather nice.- Very nice. - What will it get spent on?
0:02:48 > 0:02:54- I must give some to my friend Sue who has provided me with my entire wardrobe.- Is that right?
0:02:54 > 0:02:58Thank you, Sue. The next thing would be to swim with dolphins in Florida.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01- Take the girls and go to Florida. - Good luck with that.
0:03:01 > 0:03:07You play three rounds, then a final. Every round you achieve perfection will make the final easier for you.
0:03:07 > 0:03:13If your performance is anything less than perfect, the Usual Suspects can steal the round,
0:03:13 > 0:03:15making the final harder for you.
0:03:15 > 0:03:20Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off, so you can't see or hear anything. Away they go.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Each round consists of four "true or false" statements.
0:03:24 > 0:03:30- You'll only have 45 seconds. Once you've given your answer, it'll be locked in. Do you understand?- Yes.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33- Good. Then let's play Perfection. - APPLAUSE
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Round 1. Your 45 seconds start now.
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- I don't think she did. I believe that's false.- False.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Hmm... I've not heard of that one
0:03:52 > 0:03:56and my middle daughter is very much into fashion.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58- I'm going to say "false".- False.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- That's true.- True. And finally...
0:04:11 > 0:04:15- I don't think so. I'm going to say "false".- False.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19With plenty of time to spare, you've answered all four statements.
0:04:19 > 0:04:25- Good round?- Down here, it's completely different. You're quietly confident when you're at the back.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27So I don't know. We'll see.
0:04:27 > 0:04:33Before we reveal how well you've done, it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37These were the four statements and next to them are Juliet's answers.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Pav, has she achieved perfection?
0:04:40 > 0:04:44That was a good round for Juliet. I think she has achieved perfection.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48- Victoria, do you agree?- Yes, I think that's perfection. Well done.
0:04:48 > 0:04:54You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round. How many are correct?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Congratulations, Juliet. You have achieved perfection.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07APPLAUSE
0:05:07 > 0:05:12- That's about as good a start as you can make.- It's encouraging.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16For you, not for the Usual Suspects. Let's look at those answers.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20"Judi Dench played Mrs Thatcher in The Iron Lady." You said "false".
0:05:20 > 0:05:23And, of course, it is false. It was in fact Meryl Streep.
0:05:23 > 0:05:27"Jasper Johns is a fashion designer." You said "false".
0:05:27 > 0:05:33That is, of course, false. He's an American contemporary artist.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35"Some ants spray formic acid as a defence."
0:05:35 > 0:05:38We now know that to be true.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42"The athlete Kelly Holmes specialised in the javelin."
0:05:42 > 0:05:45You said "false" and it is, of course, false.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49She was a middle-distance runner. After that perfect performance,
0:05:49 > 0:05:53you've made winning the prize fund a lot easier and here's how.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57This is your final board. These six blank spaces need subject categories.
0:05:57 > 0:06:03Here are your final round categories starting with Soaps running through Classic Albums,
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Meanings and on to Colours with a few others in between.
0:06:06 > 0:06:11Because you won the round, you can add two categories to the board, so which two do you fancy?
0:06:11 > 0:06:16- I think I'll go for Meanings, please. - Meanings goes across.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19And...British Comics.
0:06:19 > 0:06:25British Comics. Usual Suspects, you didn't get a look in there, but we'll see you in Round 2.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Maybe you'll get a chance then. Now we switch you off. And away they go.
0:06:29 > 0:06:34Juliet, looking at that list, which ones would you desperately like to avoid?
0:06:34 > 0:06:40I don't know that much about Rod Stewart or about Indian States, so I'd rather not have that.
0:06:40 > 0:06:47Trophies is a little bit horrible as well, but I could probably have a stab at most of the others.
0:06:47 > 0:06:53You made a great start. Winning the round and getting your own choices is the way to go forward. Ready?
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Yeah.- Then let's play Round 2.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58APPLAUSE
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Your 45 seconds start now.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- He did indeed. Yes, I've read many of those books. That's true.- True.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- I'm going to say "true".- True.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Ouch! Er...
0:07:26 > 0:07:28I'm not too sure on that one.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32- I'm going to say "false".- False. And finally...
0:07:38 > 0:07:41- I know they just reformed. I think that's true.- True.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48Using the time wisely, you've answered all four statements within the time.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- Did that feel like a good round? - Half and half.
0:07:51 > 0:07:57I know A is right because I spent many a day reading about Mr Tickle and Mr Bump and all the rest of it.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02I'm not too sure about C and B is a bit of a guess.
0:08:02 > 0:08:08Before we reveal how well you've done, it's time for us to bring back the Usual Suspects.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12These were the four statements and next to them are Juliet's answers.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- Victoria, is it perfection? - Not this time.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20The Valentine's Day massacre did occur in Chicago. C is definitely true.
0:08:20 > 0:08:27- What do you think, Mary?- It was definitely Chicago. I'm not sure about B. I've never heard of Nuuk.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Pav, what do you think? - Yeah, I agree with Victoria.
0:08:30 > 0:08:35A, B and D are probably correct, but C, I'm not too sure.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39All right, Juliet, let's find out how many you've got correct.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47Just two out of four. That plainly is not perfection.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51You've let the Usual Suspects into the game. Can you steal the round?
0:08:51 > 0:08:55You can see Juliet's answers. You need to change two of them. Which two?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- B and C?- B and C.- Yes.
0:08:58 > 0:09:04- Can we change B from "true" to "false"?- B changes from "true" to "false".- And C?- Definitely.
0:09:04 > 0:09:10- And C from "false" to "true". - C from "false" to "true", leaving A and D as answered by Juliet.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Let's find out the correct answers.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17"Roger Hargreaves created the Mr Men." True or false? Yeah, true.
0:09:17 > 0:09:21"Nuuk is the capital of the Faroe Islands." True or false?
0:09:21 > 0:09:23That's false, in actual fact.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26It's the capital of Greenland.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30"The St Valentine's Day massacre occurred in Chicago." True or false?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34That's true, which means you know where this is going.
0:09:34 > 0:09:38"The pop group Steps was formed with five members." True or false?
0:09:38 > 0:09:40Congratulations, Usual Suspects.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43You have achieved perfection.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45APPLAUSE
0:09:46 > 0:09:51The happy Usual Suspects succeeded where you failed and stole the round.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54Let's see the final board. Two categories chosen by Juliet,
0:09:54 > 0:09:59but because, Usual Suspects, you won the round, you choose the next two categories.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04- I'd quite like Rod Stewart.- Do you not think it will be Juliet's era?
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Well, OK, if we... Indian States might be quite difficult then.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12My initial thoughts were Classic Albums and maybe 17th Century.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15I'm happy with 17th Century.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19- Indian States?- 17th Century?- Yeah. - Can we move 17th Century over, Nick?
0:10:19 > 0:10:2117th Century goes into the final.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25- And the other one?- I think Indian States. I think that'll be hard.
0:10:25 > 0:10:30- OK.- Can we have Indian States as well?- And Indian States goes across.
0:10:30 > 0:10:35Usual Suspects, time to switch you off, but we'll see you in Round 3. And away they go.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39They flirted with your Rod Stewart thing for a little while there.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43They managed to choose Indian States for you which you didn't want.
0:10:43 > 0:10:49- 17th Century?- I don't mind that, but Indian States bothers me a little bit.- That's a toughie.- Yeah.
0:10:49 > 0:10:55It's apparent they're not choosing subjects for themselves to come down and help you out,
0:10:55 > 0:11:01so it's more important that you achieve perfection and choose your own categories for the final.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03If you're ready to play, let's play Round 3.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06APPLAUSE
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Your 45 seconds start now.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14Gosh!
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Oh, I really don't know. That's a toughie.
0:11:18 > 0:11:20- True.- True.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27I think he did right at the beginning.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- I think Martin Clunes joined later. True.- True.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- I think that's true.- True. And finally...
0:11:46 > 0:11:48Oh, help!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- Time...- False.- False.
0:11:52 > 0:11:58Sorry to remind you about time, but I was starting to get worried that you weren't going to answer in time.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02Before we invite the Usual Suspects back, how was that round?
0:12:03 > 0:12:06I didn't like that. I didn't like that at all.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08- Not your favourite round so far?- No.
0:12:08 > 0:12:14Before we find out how well you have done, let's bring back the Usual Suspects.
0:12:14 > 0:12:19These were the four statements and next to them are Juliet's answers.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Mary, is this the perfect round?
0:12:21 > 0:12:27I think "edible snails are sometimes known as wallfish", I think that's false.
0:12:27 > 0:12:32And possibly C, I think that's false.
0:12:32 > 0:12:38- Victoria, what do you make of those answers?- I think she might have achieved perfection.
0:12:38 > 0:12:44You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round. How many are correct?
0:12:48 > 0:12:51Three out of four is good, but it's not perfection,
0:12:51 > 0:12:57so you've let the Usual Suspects into the game. There's a chance to steal the round, Usual Suspects.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01You only need to change one of Juliet's answers, but which one?
0:13:01 > 0:13:04C or A. I'd be more inclined to change A.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- OK, I'll go with A with you.- Yeah?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Can we change A from "true" to "false", please, Nick?
0:13:10 > 0:13:15Changing A from "true" to "false", leaving B, C and D as answered by Juliet.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Let's find out what the correct answers are.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22"Edible snails are sometimes known as wallfish." True or false?
0:13:22 > 0:13:29It's true. Usual Suspects, you had the chance to steal the round, but you failed to achieve perfection.
0:13:29 > 0:13:35I wonder whether you can achieve perfection at home? Let's look through the rest of the answers.
0:13:35 > 0:13:39"Harry Enfield appeared in Men Behaving Badly." True or false?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41That is, of course, true.
0:13:41 > 0:13:46"The Cod Wars were between the UK and Spain." Is that true or false?
0:13:46 > 0:13:52That's the one you were looking for. That's the one that's false. It was between the UK and Iceland.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56And "Guinea-Bissau is a country in Central America." True or false?
0:13:56 > 0:13:58That is false.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02It is in West Africa. Let's take a look at the final board.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04Four categories chosen so far,
0:14:04 > 0:14:09but because nobody managed to win Round 3, we have two blank spaces still to be filled.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12You will now take it in turns to choose a category.
0:14:12 > 0:14:17Juliet, as the single player, you choose first. Which category would you like to add?
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- Colours, please. - Colours goes into the final.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24Usual Suspects, choose a category that will trouble Juliet.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26I personally would pick Horror Films.
0:14:26 > 0:14:32- I quite liked Horror Films as well. - Yeah, Horror Films, I'm happy with that.
0:14:32 > 0:14:34Can we move Horror Films over?
0:14:34 > 0:14:36Horror Films goes into the final.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39We know our six final categories.
0:14:45 > 0:14:50Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you off for the final time. And away they go.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Horror Films and Colours?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- All right?- Yeah, I'll give it a go.
0:14:55 > 0:14:58Juliet, for £4,000, it's time to play the final.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00APPLAUSE
0:15:00 > 0:15:07This is the all-important final. If you achieve perfection, you could be leaving with a prize fund of £4,000.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09If you fail, you leave with nothing
0:15:09 > 0:15:14and one of the Usual Suspects could be playing for a rollover of £5,000 on the next game.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17So, let's play the final round.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20APPLAUSE
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Here are your final six categories.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34You must answer all six statements correctly if you want to win £4,000.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38There's no time limit, but once you've given your answer, it'll be locked in.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42- Are you ready?- Yes. - Let's reveal your first statement.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45Please tell me whether you believe it to be true or false.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Meanings...
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Is that true or false?
0:15:52 > 0:15:59Entomology, I've got a feeling that's something to do with insects or bugs.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04- I'm going to say "false". I'm not 100%, but I'll say "false". - False. Thank you.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06British Comics...
0:16:13 > 0:16:16I know it's been going for a very long time.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20Whether it was as far back as the '30s, I really don't know.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24When I chose the category, I read "comics" as in "comedians" comics,
0:16:24 > 0:16:28and I did panic afterwards, thinking it might be "magazine" comics.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- I'm going to say "false".- False.
0:16:34 > 0:16:3617th Century...
0:16:41 > 0:16:43I've just got a feeling about this one.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47- I'm not 100%, but I'm going to say "true".- True.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50Indian States...
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Oh, gosh, these are really tough.
0:17:00 > 0:17:02I'm going to say...
0:17:02 > 0:17:04"true".
0:17:04 > 0:17:06True. Colours...
0:17:11 > 0:17:12Hurrah!
0:17:12 > 0:17:15One that I'm fairly confident with.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17I think sienna is a shade of blue.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- I'm going to say "true".- True.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23And finally, Horror Films.
0:17:28 > 0:17:34- True or false?- I love Johnny Depp, but I don't know if he was in that.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36- I'm going to say "false".- False.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39With that, Juliet, those answers are locked in.
0:17:39 > 0:17:44- If there's one mistake, you leave with nothing. Which ones are you unsure of?- All of them.
0:17:44 > 0:17:49There isn't a single question there I'm 100% sure of, so I think I need a small miracle.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52All right, let's bring back the Usual Suspects.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57You can now see the final six statements and next to them are Juliet's answers.
0:17:57 > 0:18:02Your answers are now locked in, but if you think you've made a mistake,
0:18:02 > 0:18:07you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects, but this will come at a cost.
0:18:07 > 0:18:13Usual Suspects, tell me how well you think Juliet has done, if you want to help and how much it will cost.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- Juliet, who would you like to hear from first?- Victoria.
0:18:16 > 0:18:20You've definitely got one wrong. I think you've got another one wrong.
0:18:20 > 0:18:27Because of the one I'm not sure on, I'm not confident enough to help you and it would cost you quite a bit,
0:18:27 > 0:18:32so I think it's better maybe asking one of these two, but best of luck.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36- Thank you.- Victoria very generously offering other people to you,
0:18:36 > 0:18:38because you can't afford her, apparently.
0:18:38 > 0:18:43- Who would you like to hear from next?- Mary, please.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I'm afraid you can't afford me either.
0:18:46 > 0:18:50There are definitely two I can see that you haven't achieved perfection.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54I'm sorry, I can't help you.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57OK, thanks, Mary. Pav?
0:18:57 > 0:19:03Sorry, this is a bad board for me. I'm not sure on any of them, so I wouldn't be able to come down today.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- Ho-hum! Well, I tried. Thank you anyway, guys.- Good luck, Juliet.
0:19:07 > 0:19:13None of our Usual Suspects are willing to help, so you're on your own. £4,000 at stake.
0:19:13 > 0:19:17Six answers away. Let's find out if you've achieved perfection.
0:19:18 > 0:19:24As a matter of interest, Victoria, you can say now when I ask you. You thought there were two. Which two?
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- Sienna, I think, is a brown, a reddy-brown.- Yeah.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32And I think The Eagle possibly was in the '30s.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35But I didn't know. So they were the two.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Let's start at the top, shall we?
0:19:37 > 0:19:41"Entomology is the study of the origin of words."
0:19:41 > 0:19:47You said that was false. You thought it was something to do with insects. So is it true or is it false?
0:19:48 > 0:19:52- It is false. Very well done. - APPLAUSE
0:19:52 > 0:19:55It is, in fact, the study of insects.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59Etymology is the study of words.
0:19:59 > 0:20:06"The Eagle comic was first published in the 1930s." You said that was false. Is it true or false?
0:20:06 > 0:20:08It is false. Very well done.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11APPLAUSE
0:20:11 > 0:20:13First published in 1950.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17"Jack Ketch was a notorious executioner."
0:20:17 > 0:20:22You had a feeling at the back of your mind that this may be true, so you went with "true".
0:20:22 > 0:20:27You need this to turn green. If it does, you are halfway to the £4,000.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Is it true or is it false?
0:20:29 > 0:20:31It is true.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35The reason he was more famous than any other executioner
0:20:35 > 0:20:39was he used to botch the executions regularly, make a mess of them.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43That's interesting. We're halfway to the money.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- "Goa has a coast on the Arabian Sea." Have you been to Goa? - I haven't, no.
0:20:47 > 0:20:53- Do you know where it is? - I've got a feeling it's sort of India, somewhere around India.
0:20:53 > 0:20:58Absolutely, west coast of India. You said this was true. Is it true or false?
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- It is true. Four out of six. - APPLAUSE
0:21:03 > 0:21:06OK, so, "sienna is a shade of blue".
0:21:06 > 0:21:10You agreed with that statement that sienna could be a shade of blue,
0:21:10 > 0:21:14but the one fly in the ointment is Victoria thinks it's a shade of brown.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I think she's probably right.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- Do you think?- Yeah.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22I don't know why I connected sienna with blue.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Maybe I was connecting it with the police and all that sort of thing.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32But I think that it's like an umber colour. We'll see.
0:21:32 > 0:21:39Well, you need this to turn green to take you one away from the £4,000.
0:21:39 > 0:21:43"Sienna is a shade of blue." Is that true or false?
0:21:45 > 0:21:47I'm afraid it is false.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51It is reddish-brown, as Victoria said.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55When you come down here, your brain turns to mush, but I'm pleased I've got four right
0:21:55 > 0:21:58and I'll be interested to see what F was.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01I'll be OK to go away having just got one wrong.
0:22:01 > 0:22:07"Johnny Depp appeared in A Nightmare On Elm Street." You said this is almost certainly false.
0:22:07 > 0:22:11You've caught most of his films. You don't remember that one.
0:22:11 > 0:22:16No, I don't remember him being in that. In Edward Scissorhands and all that, but...
0:22:16 > 0:22:18Well, is that true or false?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22- Oh.- It's true, in actual fact.
0:22:22 > 0:22:28- OK.- It was in fact his debut performance in 1984.- Oh, wow!
0:22:28 > 0:22:30Usual Suspects, great news for you.
0:22:30 > 0:22:36The prize fund rolls over to the next game where one of you could be playing for a total of £5,000.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38APPLAUSE
0:22:38 > 0:22:45- They look very pleased. You're still smiling, Juliet. Have you enjoyed yourself?- I've had a fantastic time.
0:22:45 > 0:22:51It would have been nice to have won the money, but I'm glad these guys have something meaty to go on for.
0:22:51 > 0:22:55- It's been fantastic.- Let's hear it for Juliet, everybody.- Thank you.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57APPLAUSE
0:22:58 > 0:23:02It's time to meet the next Usual Suspect hoping to play Perfection.
0:23:04 > 0:23:07New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.
0:23:07 > 0:23:11Hi, I'm Neil. I'm from Stockport and I'm an operations manager.
0:23:11 > 0:23:16Welcome, Neil. Best of luck as we find out who has been randomly picked to play Perfection.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Mary, it's you.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24- Please come and play. - I can't believe it.
0:23:26 > 0:23:31- Mary, welcome to the game.- Thank you, Nick. A pleasure to be here.
0:23:31 > 0:23:37- You have an interest in amateur dramatics?- Yes, I love acting, anything to do with acting.
0:23:37 > 0:23:41It's just something in me that I've always wanted to do,
0:23:41 > 0:23:45so I walked into an open audition and I actually got the part.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49- And I had a brilliant review in the local paper.- Excellent.
0:23:49 > 0:23:55- That's how I got started, doing amateur dramatics.- I wish you were in ours. You have to join ours.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58- That sounds like it would be fun. - Definitely.
0:23:58 > 0:24:03Mary, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects. Now they're your enemies.
0:24:03 > 0:24:09- Here's the good news. Nobody has won the last four games, so the prize fund now stands at £5,000.- Wow!
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Yes!
0:24:12 > 0:24:18- So, imagine you walk out of here with a cheque for £5,000. What do you spend it on?- Oh, skiing.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22Skiing. That's something I've never done.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26- You fancy having a go?- I'd love to do that. Somewhere posh like Aspen.
0:24:26 > 0:24:31- You know where all the stars go? - Yeah.- You don't know who you're going to bump into there.
0:24:31 > 0:24:37- Especially if you're not very good at skiing!- I'd do it on purpose if the Royal Family go in front of me.
0:24:37 > 0:24:42I'd never thought it through that way, but you've shed a whole new light on it.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Let's crack on.- Come on. - Three rounds and a final.
0:24:45 > 0:24:52Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off for now. As soon as Mary makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game.
0:24:52 > 0:24:57- Are you ready?- Yes, I'm ready. - Then let's get started and play Perfection.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02Round 1. Your 45 seconds start now.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- False.- False.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Oh...
0:25:16 > 0:25:19- Hmm. True.- True.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27- That's true.- True. And finally...
0:25:31 > 0:25:34Yes, I'm sure it's set in Sheffield. I'd say "true".
0:25:34 > 0:25:38True. With plenty of time to spare, you've answered all four statements.
0:25:38 > 0:25:45- Did you enjoy that round? - Yeah, not bad.- Felt all right?- I'm a bit unsure about one, maybe two.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49- In with a chance of perfection? - Maybe. Let's see what happens.
0:25:49 > 0:25:54Before we reveal how well you've done, it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58These were the four statements and Mary's answers.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03- Victoria, what do you think?- I think she's done pretty well. The only one I'm not sure about is A.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07- You've done really well. - Neil, can you see any mistakes?
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Same again, just A, I think. That's the only one I'd be sceptical about.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14The Usual Suspects think you've done very well.
0:26:14 > 0:26:20You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round. How many are correct?
0:26:25 > 0:26:30- Congratulations, Mary.- Yes! - You have achieved perfection. - APPLAUSE
0:26:30 > 0:26:36That's a cracking start, Mary. Let's take a look at those answers in more detail, shall we?
0:26:36 > 0:26:40"The River Boyne flows through Dublin." Is that true or false?
0:26:40 > 0:26:44It is false. It's the Liffey that flows through Dublin.
0:26:44 > 0:26:48"Daniel Fahrenheit invented the mercury thermometer."
0:26:48 > 0:26:51You said that was true and we now know that is true.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56"First Among Equals is a novel by Jeffrey Archer." You said that was true and it is true.
0:26:56 > 0:27:01"The film The Full Monty is set in Sheffield." You said that was true and it is true.
0:27:01 > 0:27:07Mary, as a result of that perfect performance, you have made winning the prize fund a lot easier.
0:27:07 > 0:27:12This is your final board and these six spaces need to be filled with subject categories.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15Here are your final round categories,
0:27:15 > 0:27:19starting with Jazz running through Condiments on to Book Sequels,
0:27:19 > 0:27:22Frogs and finishing in Surfing with many more in between.
0:27:22 > 0:27:27Because you won that round, you can choose two categories to add to the board.
0:27:27 > 0:27:31- Which two would you like to play in the final?- I think Audrey Hepburn.
0:27:31 > 0:27:33Audrey Hepburn goes across.
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Book Sequels.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38Book Sequels goes into the final as well.
0:27:38 > 0:27:43Usual Suspects, you didn't get a look in there. We'll see you in the next round.
0:27:43 > 0:27:46In the meantime, we'll switch you off. Away they go.
0:27:46 > 0:27:51Mary, which two would you like to avoid? Which two subjects do you not want to get in the final?
0:27:51 > 0:27:54Jazz, Surfing, Cricket.
0:27:54 > 0:27:59You'd like to avoid those. All right, Mary, you've had a great start so far.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03- Are you ready to play Round 2?- Yes. - Then let's play Round 2.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06APPLAUSE
0:28:06 > 0:28:09Your 45 seconds start now.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17- I think that's false. Never heard of it.- False.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28- True.- True.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37- True.- True. And finally...
0:28:41 > 0:28:43- That is true.- That's true.
0:28:43 > 0:28:48As you can see by your little white line, you still had time to spare.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Very well played. Did that feel like a good round too?
0:28:51 > 0:28:55- Yeah, there's just one I'm not too sure about.- Which one's that?
0:28:55 > 0:29:00- A.- Before we reveal how well you've done, it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.
0:29:00 > 0:29:05These were the four statements and next to them are Mary's answers.
0:29:05 > 0:29:11- Neil, is it perfection this time? - I think it might well be again, Nick. She's doing well.
0:29:11 > 0:29:14- Pav, can you see anything wrong? - Yeah, she's got two wrong.
0:29:14 > 0:29:19A theremin is a musical instrument and the Akela is the leader of a Cub pack.
0:29:19 > 0:29:23OK, Mary, let's find out how many you've got correct.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30- Just one out of four on this occasion.- Oh, no!
0:29:30 > 0:29:34- So, not perfection.- No. - Quite a way from it on this occasion, I'm afraid.
0:29:34 > 0:29:39You've let the Usual Suspects into the game. There's a chance to steal here.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43You need to change three of Mary's answers. Which three?
0:29:43 > 0:29:48- Theremin is an instrument?- Yeah. - So, A, we've got to change from "false" to "true".
0:29:48 > 0:29:51- A from "false" to "true", Nick. - A changes from "false" to "true".
0:29:51 > 0:29:55- You need to change two others. - C from "true" to "false".
0:29:55 > 0:29:57Yeah, C from "true" to "false".
0:29:57 > 0:30:00C from "true" to "false". And we need one other change.
0:30:00 > 0:30:04- D from "true" to "false".- Yeah. Can we change D from "true" to "false"?
0:30:04 > 0:30:07And D changes from "true" to "false",
0:30:07 > 0:30:10leaving B as answered by Mary.
0:30:10 > 0:30:12Let's find out the correct answers.
0:30:12 > 0:30:16"A theremin is a musical instrument." Is that true or false?
0:30:16 > 0:30:19Yes, it is true.
0:30:19 > 0:30:24"The British king during World War I was George V." Is that true or false?
0:30:24 > 0:30:26That's true as well.
0:30:26 > 0:30:32"The Akela is the leader of a Brownie pack." Is that true or false?
0:30:32 > 0:30:34That is false.
0:30:34 > 0:30:39It's the leader of a pack of Cub Scouts, as you so rightly said, Pav.
0:30:39 > 0:30:43"The film Misery is based on a Sidney Sheldon book." True or false?
0:30:43 > 0:30:45That is false.
0:30:45 > 0:30:49Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55Misery is based on a novel by Stephen King, in actual fact.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57So, let's see the final board.
0:30:57 > 0:31:02Two categories chosen by Mary, but because you won that round, Usual Suspects,
0:31:02 > 0:31:04you get to choose the next two.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08- Cricket, Neil?- Cricket, yeah.- Can we have Cricket across, please, Nick?
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Cricket goes across. And another one?
0:31:11 > 0:31:15- What about Surfing?- Yeah, I'm happy with Surfing.- Surfing?- Yeah.
0:31:15 > 0:31:19- Can we move Surfing across? - Surfing goes across as well.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You won the second round.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26We'll switch you off now, but we'll see you in Round 3.
0:31:26 > 0:31:31- You didn't fancy Cricket or Surfing. That's a tough one, isn't it?- Yeah.
0:31:31 > 0:31:37- Come on, you can do this. - Yeah, I'll give it my best shot. - That's the way. Let's play Round 3.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40APPLAUSE
0:31:40 > 0:31:42Your 45 seconds start now.
0:31:47 > 0:31:50- I'm sure that's true.- True.- Yeah.
0:31:55 > 0:31:59I don't think it's a rugby stadium. There is a Murrayfield...
0:31:59 > 0:32:03- I'm going to go "false", Nick. - False.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Oh, the lev, um...
0:32:10 > 0:32:14- I'm going to go "true".- True. And finally...
0:32:21 > 0:32:24- False.- False.
0:32:24 > 0:32:30- That felt a bit like the second round, a bit half and half. - Half and half, yes.- Yeah.
0:32:30 > 0:32:35- Before we reveal how well you've done, let's bring back the Usual Suspects.- OK.
0:32:35 > 0:32:40Usual Suspects, these were the four statements and next to them are Mary's answers.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45- Victoria, is it perfection this time? - It could be. I'm not sure about C.
0:32:45 > 0:32:50- Neil, can you shed any light on this?- It's definitely not perfection. B is wrong.
0:32:50 > 0:32:55- Pav, what do you make of those answers?- Definitely not. I'm reading Les Miserables.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57It definitely is by Victor Hugo.
0:32:57 > 0:33:03Mary, you need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round. How many are correct?
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Just one out of the four again.
0:33:09 > 0:33:14Not perfection and once again the Usual Suspects can steal this round.
0:33:14 > 0:33:18You need to change three of Mary's answers again. Which three?
0:33:18 > 0:33:22- We start at the top. What do we think about A?- That's right. A is true.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24So we change everything else.
0:33:24 > 0:33:29- Can we have B from "false" to "true", please? - B changes from "false" to "true".
0:33:29 > 0:33:32- C "true" to "false". - C "true" to "false".
0:33:32 > 0:33:36- And D "false" to "true". - Leaving A as answered by Mary.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39Let's find out what the correct answers are.
0:33:39 > 0:33:42"A ham hock comes from the leg of a pig." True or false?
0:33:42 > 0:33:48It is true, which immediately shows you, Usual Suspects, where this is going to go.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51"Murrayfield is a rugby stadium in Edinburgh." True or false?
0:33:51 > 0:33:57That is true. "The lev is the monetary unit of the Czech Republic." True or false?
0:33:57 > 0:33:59That's false.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02It's the monetary unit of Bulgaria, in actual fact.
0:34:02 > 0:34:07"Victor Hugo wrote the novel Les Miserables." Is that true or false?
0:34:07 > 0:34:08That is true.
0:34:08 > 0:34:14Exactly as you said, Pav. Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.
0:34:14 > 0:34:16APPLAUSE
0:34:16 > 0:34:20Very well played, Usual Suspects. Let's see the final board.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Four subject categories on there,
0:34:23 > 0:34:29but because you won that round, Usual Suspects, you choose the last two, so which two do you fancy?
0:34:29 > 0:34:31I fancy Monsters and Condiments.
0:34:31 > 0:34:36- I like Museums.- Neil? - Museums are difficult, yeah. I think definitely Monsters.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40- Museums and Monsters?- Yeah. - The two Ms.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- Can we have Monsters across? - Monsters goes across.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- And Museums, please.- And Museums. Thank you very much.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50We now know our six final categories.
0:34:55 > 0:34:58Guys, time to switch you off for the final time.
0:34:58 > 0:35:03- What do you make of those last two? Monsters and Museums? - It's not looking good, Nick.
0:35:03 > 0:35:07- You never know. It depends how the questions fall, doesn't it?- Yeah.
0:35:07 > 0:35:11Mary, for £5,000, it's time to play the final.
0:35:11 > 0:35:13APPLAUSE
0:35:14 > 0:35:21This is the all-important final. If you can achieve perfection, you could be leaving here with £5,000.
0:35:21 > 0:35:26If you fail, you leave with nothing which would be great news for the Usual Suspects
0:35:26 > 0:35:29as one of them could play for £6,000 on the next show.
0:35:29 > 0:35:31So, let's play the final round.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34APPLAUSE
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Mary, here are your final six categories.
0:35:42 > 0:35:47You must answer all six statements correctly if you want to win £5,000. There's no time limit.
0:35:47 > 0:35:50But once you've given your answer, it'll be locked in.
0:35:50 > 0:35:54- Do you understand?- Yes.- Ready?- Yes. - Let's reveal your first statement.
0:35:54 > 0:35:57Tell me if you believe it to be true or false.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Audrey Hepburn...
0:36:05 > 0:36:09She was in Charade with Cary Grant, I think.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11I don't think she won an Oscar.
0:36:11 > 0:36:14- I'm going to say "false".- False.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17Book Sequels...
0:36:24 > 0:36:27I've obviously heard of The Grapes Of Wrath.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31I don't even think there was a sequel, so I'm going to say...
0:36:32 > 0:36:34- .."false".- False.- Yes.
0:36:34 > 0:36:37- Cricket...- Eugh!
0:36:41 > 0:36:45I'm going to start laughing because I actually know this.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47I think I do.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50He did. It's true.
0:36:50 > 0:36:52True.
0:36:52 > 0:36:53Surfing...
0:36:59 > 0:37:02It sounds a bit fishy, doesn't it?
0:37:03 > 0:37:05LAUGHTER
0:37:07 > 0:37:09Oh, it's...
0:37:09 > 0:37:12- I'm going to say "false". - False.- Yeah.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14- Monsters...- Eugh!
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Oh, now, that's... Oh!
0:37:21 > 0:37:26I don't know nothing about Aboriginal mythology,
0:37:26 > 0:37:29but it could be true, so...
0:37:29 > 0:37:32- I'm going to say "true". I'll say "true".- True.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35Museums...
0:37:41 > 0:37:43I've never heard of it, Nick, so...
0:37:43 > 0:37:46Oh... It could be true, it could be false.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48Ohh!
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Oh, I don't know what to do!
0:37:53 > 0:37:58- I'm just going to say "true". I don't know. I'll say "true".- True.
0:37:58 > 0:38:04And with that, you've answered all of your six statements and those answers are locked in.
0:38:04 > 0:38:10- If there's one mistake, you leave with nothing. Which ones are you unsure of? The last one?- Obviously.
0:38:10 > 0:38:15And E, "the bunyip is a creature from Aboriginal mythology".
0:38:15 > 0:38:19- I'm not too sure about that. - E and F?- Yeah.
0:38:19 > 0:38:22- Let's bring back the Usual Suspects. - OK then.
0:38:22 > 0:38:27Usual Suspects, you can see the final six statements and next to them are Mary's answers.
0:38:27 > 0:38:32Mary, your answers are now locked in, but if you think you've made a mistake,
0:38:32 > 0:38:38you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects, but this will come at a cost.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- Who would you like to hear from first?- I think Pav.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44The only two I'm sure of, we've answered the same,
0:38:44 > 0:38:50and the other four, I'm not certain, so, sorry, I wouldn't be able to come down at this stage.
0:38:50 > 0:38:55- OK, Pav's ruled himself out. Who would you like to hear from next? - Neil, please.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58How confident are you in the answers you've given?
0:38:58 > 0:39:02I'm a little bit unsure on two. I'm positive on the others.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08OK, a bit of a bad board for me, so I'll stay where I am, I'm afraid.
0:39:08 > 0:39:13- So Neil's ruled himself out. Would you like to hear from Victoria?- Yes, I would, please.
0:39:13 > 0:39:15You've definitely got one wrong.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19I'm dodgy on another two answers.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22I would love to be able to help you,
0:39:22 > 0:39:26but there's no point in us both going home with nothing, so I'm sorry, Mary.
0:39:26 > 0:39:32That's negotiations over. The Usual Suspects are unwilling to help, so you're on your own.
0:39:32 > 0:39:36£5,000 at stake. Six answers away. Let's see if you've achieved perfection.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43Now that we're about to get started, I'm interested to see,
0:39:43 > 0:39:47Neil, which one was it that you thought she might have wrong?
0:39:47 > 0:39:51- B and C.- B and C. Victoria, you thought there might be two wrong.
0:39:51 > 0:39:54Yeah, C is definitely wrong.
0:39:54 > 0:39:56- You think?- Yeah. - What was the other one?
0:39:56 > 0:39:59I'm not too sure about B either.
0:39:59 > 0:40:04All right, let's start at the top and make our way through.
0:40:04 > 0:40:08"Audrey Hepburn won her only Oscar for Charade." You said "false".
0:40:08 > 0:40:11You thought she didn't win her only Oscar for Charade.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13So is it true or is it false?
0:40:14 > 0:40:17- It is false. Very well done. - APPLAUSE
0:40:17 > 0:40:20Her only Oscar was for Roman Holiday.
0:40:20 > 0:40:26- Was it really?- Yeah. That was a great film as well. - Lovely film.- Lovely film.- Beautiful.
0:40:26 > 0:40:30OK, "Bitter Lemons is a sequel to The Grapes Of Wrath."
0:40:30 > 0:40:36You said The Grapes Of Wrath didn't have a sequel, so that didn't make any sense, thus you said "false".
0:40:36 > 0:40:38Is it true or is it false?
0:40:40 > 0:40:44- It's false. Very well done. - APPLAUSE
0:40:44 > 0:40:48You're right. There is no recognised sequel to The Grapes Of Wrath.
0:40:48 > 0:40:54This next one's interesting. You didn't fancy this in the first place. You didn't want Cricket.
0:40:54 > 0:41:00Up came the question and you went, "I know this. Imran Khan played cricket for India, that's true."
0:41:00 > 0:41:03The Usual Suspects are fairly convinced that this is wrong.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05Is that true or false?
0:41:09 > 0:41:13It is false, I'm afraid. He played for Pakistan.
0:41:13 > 0:41:19The Usual Suspects were right on this occasion. Unfortunately, you are going home with no cash.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22- Are you all right? - I'm going to start crying.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25No wonder you took up amateur dramatics!
0:41:25 > 0:41:28LAUGHTER
0:41:28 > 0:41:34That's very sad that it's gone that way, but maybe you can achieve perfection at home.
0:41:34 > 0:41:38- Let's look through the rest of these and see how close you got.- Not far.
0:41:38 > 0:41:42"'Men in grey suits' is a surfing term for sharks."
0:41:42 > 0:41:45You said that sounded a bit fishy. You said "false".
0:41:45 > 0:41:47True or false?
0:41:47 > 0:41:53- It's actually true. They refer to sharks as "men in grey suits". - I don't believe that.
0:41:53 > 0:41:59- We're not lying. I'm not making it up.- I'm going to check that out on the internet when I get home.
0:41:59 > 0:42:03- I don't make this up as I go along. - Curb your language, Nick.
0:42:03 > 0:42:04LAUGHTER
0:42:04 > 0:42:09- Calm down, calm down.- Let's press on to the bunyip, shall we?- Go for it.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12"The bunyip is a creature from Aboriginal mythology."
0:42:12 > 0:42:15You said this was true. Is it true or is it false?
0:42:15 > 0:42:17It is true.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19- See?- Yeah.
0:42:19 > 0:42:23"The Smithsonian complex is based in Washington DC."
0:42:23 > 0:42:27- You said that you hadn't heard of it and then plumped for "true".- Yeah.
0:42:27 > 0:42:29So is it true or false?
0:42:29 > 0:42:32- It is true.- Oh!- So there you go.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36You got four right and two wrong which isn't bad.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39- Never mind. Not bad.- Usual Suspects, that's great news for you.
0:42:39 > 0:42:45The prize fund rolls over to the next game where one of you could be playing for a total of £6,000.
0:42:45 > 0:42:51They look very happy with that. Mary, you didn't achieve perfection, so you go home with nothing,
0:42:51 > 0:42:54but you've been a fantastic contestant.
0:42:54 > 0:42:58Thanks so much. You've been a fantastic presenter!
0:42:59 > 0:43:04That's one of my best reviews ever. Thank you. Let's hear it for Mary, ladies and gentlemen!
0:43:04 > 0:43:07APPLAUSE
0:43:07 > 0:43:13That's all we have time for. Join us next time when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play again,
0:43:13 > 0:43:18this time for £6,000, but, remember, on this show, we only pay for perfection. Goodbye.
