Episode 38 Perfection

Welcome to the show that demands perfection. These four contestants hope their knowledge is flawless

because 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. We call them the Usual Suspects.

In a moment, we'll find out which one of them has been randomly selected 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?

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

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

but if the contestant gets an answer wrong,

the Usual Suspects can capitalise on their mistakes.

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

Hiya, my name's Mary and I'm from Liverpool.

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

Hello, I'm Victoria from Radcliffe near Manchester and I'm a lecturer. This is my second game.

Hi, I'm Pav, I'm from Doncaster. I'm a support worker and this is my fifth game.

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

I'm a transcription administrator and this is my 11th game.

Welcome, especially Mary in her first game,

and best of luck as we find out who has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

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

Juliet, welcome to the game. Tell us about your home life. Family?

Yes, I've been married to David, who's an accountant, for 26 years.

I've got three lovely daughters. I'm very proud of all of them.

-Are they proud of you, especially with your impressions?

-I have been known to do one or two.

-Give us one.

-You do Gollum?

-Gollum from Lord Of The Rings. Don't take this personally.

-AS GOLLUM: Stupid, fat Hobbit, you've ruined it!

-That's very good, actually.

And slightly frightening too.

Juliet, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

Their job is to stop you from winning the prize fund

because your failure means the prize money rolls over and one of them could then play for a bigger total.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000. Nobody has won the last three games,

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

APPLAUSE

-That'd be rather nice.

-Very nice.

-What will it get spent on?

-I must give some to my friend Sue who has provided me with my entire wardrobe.

-Is that right?

Thank you, Sue. The next thing would be to swim with dolphins in Florida.

-Take the girls and go to Florida.

-Good luck with that.

You play three rounds, then a final. Every round you achieve perfection will make the final easier for you.

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

making the final harder for you.

Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off, so you can't see or hear anything. Away they go.

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

-You'll only have 45 seconds. Once you've given your answer, it'll be locked in. Do you understand?

-Yes.

-Good. Then let's play Perfection.

-APPLAUSE

Round 1. Your 45 seconds start now.

-I don't think she did. I believe that's false.

-False.

Hmm... I've not heard of that one

and my middle daughter is very much into fashion.

-I'm going to say "false".

-False.

-That's true.

-True. And finally...

-I don't think so. I'm going to say "false".

-False.

With plenty of time to spare, you've answered all four statements.

-Good round?

-Down here, it's completely different. You're quietly confident when you're at the back.

So I don't know. We'll see.

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

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

Pav, has she achieved perfection?

That was a good round for Juliet. I think she has achieved perfection.

-Victoria, do you agree?

-Yes, I think that's perfection. Well done.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round. How many are correct?

Congratulations, Juliet. You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

-That's about as good a start as you can make.

-It's encouraging.

For you, not for the Usual Suspects. Let's look at those answers.

"Judi Dench played Mrs Thatcher in The Iron Lady." You said "false".

And, of course, it is false. It was in fact Meryl Streep.

"Jasper Johns is a fashion designer." You said "false".

That is, of course, false. He's an American contemporary artist.

"Some ants spray formic acid as a defence."

We now know that to be true.

"The athlete Kelly Holmes specialised in the javelin."

You said "false" and it is, of course, false.

She was a middle-distance runner. After that perfect performance,

you've made winning the prize fund a lot easier and here's how.

This is your final board. These six blank spaces need subject categories.

Here are your final round categories starting with Soaps running through Classic Albums,

Meanings and on to Colours with a few others in between.

Because you won the round, you can add two categories to the board, so which two do you fancy?

-I think I'll go for Meanings, please.

-Meanings goes across.

And...British Comics.

British Comics. Usual Suspects, you didn't get a look in there, but we'll see you in Round 2.

Maybe you'll get a chance then. Now we switch you off. And away they go.

Juliet, looking at that list, which ones would you desperately like to avoid?

I don't know that much about Rod Stewart or about Indian States, so I'd rather not have that.

Trophies is a little bit horrible as well, but I could probably have a stab at most of the others.

You made a great start. Winning the round and getting your own choices is the way to go forward. Ready?

-Yeah.

-Then let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-He did indeed. Yes, I've read many of those books. That's true.

-True.

-I'm going to say "true".

-True.

Ouch! Er...

I'm not too sure on that one.

-I'm going to say "false".

-False. And finally...

-I know they just reformed. I think that's true.

-True.

Using the time wisely, you've answered all four statements within the time.

-Did that feel like a good round?

-Half and half.

I know A is right because I spent many a day reading about Mr Tickle and Mr Bump and all the rest of it.

I'm not too sure about C and B is a bit of a guess.

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

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

-Victoria, is it perfection?

-Not this time.

The Valentine's Day massacre did occur in Chicago. C is definitely true.

-What do you think, Mary?

-It was definitely Chicago. I'm not sure about B. I've never heard of Nuuk.

-Pav, what do you think?

-Yeah, I agree with Victoria.

A, B and D are probably correct, but C, I'm not too sure.

All right, Juliet, let's find out how many you've got correct.

Just two out of four. That plainly is not perfection.

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game. Can you steal the round?

You can see Juliet's answers. You need to change two of them. Which two?

-B and C?

-B and C.

-Yes.

-Can we change B from "true" to "false"?

-B changes from "true" to "false".

-And C?

-Definitely.

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

-C from "false" to "true", leaving A and D as answered by Juliet.

Let's find out the correct answers.

"Roger Hargreaves created the Mr Men." True or false? Yeah, true.

"Nuuk is the capital of the Faroe Islands." True or false?

That's false, in actual fact.

It's the capital of Greenland.

"The St Valentine's Day massacre occurred in Chicago." True or false?

That's true, which means you know where this is going.

"The pop group Steps was formed with five members." True or false?

Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

The happy Usual Suspects succeeded where you failed and stole the round.

Let's see the final board. Two categories chosen by Juliet,

but because, Usual Suspects, you won the round, you choose the next two categories.

-I'd quite like Rod Stewart.

-Do you not think it will be Juliet's era?

Well, OK, if we... Indian States might be quite difficult then.

My initial thoughts were Classic Albums and maybe 17th Century.

I'm happy with 17th Century.

-Indian States?

-17th Century?

-Yeah.

-Can we move 17th Century over, Nick?

17th Century goes into the final.

-And the other one?

-I think Indian States. I think that'll be hard.

-OK.

-Can we have Indian States as well?

-And Indian States goes across.

Usual Suspects, time to switch you off, but we'll see you in Round 3. And away they go.

They flirted with your Rod Stewart thing for a little while there.

They managed to choose Indian States for you which you didn't want.

-17th Century?

-I don't mind that, but Indian States bothers me a little bit.

-That's a toughie.

-Yeah.

It's apparent they're not choosing subjects for themselves to come down and help you out,

so it's more important that you achieve perfection and choose your own categories for the final.

If you're ready to play, let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

Gosh!

Oh, I really don't know. That's a toughie.

-True.

-True.

I think he did right at the beginning.

-I think Martin Clunes joined later. True.

-True.

-I think that's true.

-True. And finally...

Oh, help!

-Time...

-False.

-False.

Sorry to remind you about time, but I was starting to get worried that you weren't going to answer in time.

Before we invite the Usual Suspects back, how was that round?

I didn't like that. I didn't like that at all.

-Not your favourite round so far?

-No.

Before we find out how well you have done, let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Mary, is this the perfect round?

I think "edible snails are sometimes known as wallfish", I think that's false.

And possibly C, I think that's false.

-Victoria, what do you make of those answers?

-I think she might have achieved perfection.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round. How many are correct?

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

so you've let the Usual Suspects into the game. There's a chance to steal the round, Usual Suspects.

You only need to change one of Juliet's answers, but which one?

C or A. I'd be more inclined to change A.

-OK, I'll go with A with you.

-Yeah?

Can we change A from "true" to "false", please, Nick?

Changing A from "true" to "false", leaving B, C and D as answered by Juliet.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

"Edible snails are sometimes known as wallfish." True or false?

It's true. Usual Suspects, you had the chance to steal the round, but you failed to achieve perfection.

I wonder whether you can achieve perfection at home? Let's look through the rest of the answers.

"Harry Enfield appeared in Men Behaving Badly." True or false?

That is, of course, true.

"The Cod Wars were between the UK and Spain." Is that true or false?

That's the one you were looking for. That's the one that's false. It was between the UK and Iceland.

And "Guinea-Bissau is a country in Central America." True or false?

That is false.

It is in West Africa. Let's take a look at the final board.

Four categories chosen so far,

but because nobody managed to win Round 3, we have two blank spaces still to be filled.

You will now take it in turns to choose a category.

Juliet, as the single player, you choose first. Which category would you like to add?

-Colours, please.

-Colours goes into the final.

Usual Suspects, choose a category that will trouble Juliet.

I personally would pick Horror Films.

-I quite liked Horror Films as well.

-Yeah, Horror Films, I'm happy with that.

Can we move Horror Films over?

Horror Films goes into the final.

We know our six final categories.

Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you off for the final time. And away they go.

Horror Films and Colours?

-All right?

-Yeah, I'll give it a go.

Juliet, for £4,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

This is the all-important final. If you achieve perfection, you could be leaving with a prize fund of £4,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing

and one of the Usual Suspects could be playing for a rollover of £5,000 on the next game.

So, let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly if you want to win £4,000.

There's no time limit, but once you've given your answer, it'll be locked in.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

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

Meanings...

Is that true or false?

Entomology, I've got a feeling that's something to do with insects or bugs.

-I'm going to say "false". I'm not 100%, but I'll say "false".

-False. Thank you.

British Comics...

I know it's been going for a very long time.

Whether it was as far back as the '30s, I really don't know.

When I chose the category, I read "comics" as in "comedians" comics,

and I did panic afterwards, thinking it might be "magazine" comics.

-I'm going to say "false".

-False.

17th Century...

I've just got a feeling about this one.

-I'm not 100%, but I'm going to say "true".

-True.

Indian States...

Oh, gosh, these are really tough.

I'm going to say...

"true".

True. Colours...

Hurrah!

One that I'm fairly confident with.

I think sienna is a shade of blue.

-I'm going to say "true".

-True.

And finally, Horror Films.

-True or false?

-I love Johnny Depp, but I don't know if he was in that.

-I'm going to say "false".

-False.

With that, Juliet, those answers are locked in.

-If there's one mistake, you leave with nothing. Which ones are you unsure of?

-All of them.

There isn't a single question there I'm 100% sure of, so I think I need a small miracle.

All right, let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Your answers are now locked in, but if you think you've made a mistake,

you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects, but this will come at a cost.

Usual Suspects, tell me how well you think Juliet has done, if you want to help and how much it will cost.

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

-Victoria.

You've definitely got one wrong. I think you've got another one wrong.

Because of the one I'm not sure on, I'm not confident enough to help you and it would cost you quite a bit,

so I think it's better maybe asking one of these two, but best of luck.

-Thank you.

-Victoria very generously offering other people to you,

because you can't afford her, apparently.

-Who would you like to hear from next?

-Mary, please.

I'm afraid you can't afford me either.

There are definitely two I can see that you haven't achieved perfection.

I'm sorry, I can't help you.

OK, thanks, Mary. Pav?

Sorry, 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.

-Ho-hum! Well, I tried. Thank you anyway, guys.

-Good luck, Juliet.

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.

As a matter of interest, Victoria, you can say now when I ask you. You thought there were two. Which two?

-Sienna, I think, is a brown, a reddy-brown.

-Yeah.

And I think The Eagle possibly was in the '30s.

But I didn't know. So they were the two.

Let's start at the top, shall we?

"Entomology is the study of the origin of words."

You said that was false. You thought it was something to do with insects. So is it true or is it false?

-It is false. Very well done.

-APPLAUSE

It is, in fact, the study of insects.

Etymology is the study of words.

"The Eagle comic was first published in the 1930s." You said that was false. Is it true or false?

It is false. Very well done.

APPLAUSE

First published in 1950.

"Jack Ketch was a notorious executioner."

You had a feeling at the back of your mind that this may be true, so you went with "true".

You need this to turn green. If it does, you are halfway to the £4,000.

Is it true or is it false?

It is true.

The reason he was more famous than any other executioner

was he used to botch the executions regularly, make a mess of them.

That's interesting. We're halfway to the money.

-"Goa has a coast on the Arabian Sea." Have you been to Goa?

-I haven't, no.

-Do you know where it is?

-I've got a feeling it's sort of India, somewhere around India.

Absolutely, west coast of India. You said this was true. Is it true or false?

-It is true. Four out of six.

-APPLAUSE

OK, so, "sienna is a shade of blue".

You agreed with that statement that sienna could be a shade of blue,

but the one fly in the ointment is Victoria thinks it's a shade of brown.

I think she's probably right.

-Do you think?

-Yeah.

I don't know why I connected sienna with blue.

Maybe I was connecting it with the police and all that sort of thing.

But I think that it's like an umber colour. We'll see.

Well, you need this to turn green to take you one away from the £4,000.

"Sienna is a shade of blue." Is that true or false?

I'm afraid it is false.

It is reddish-brown, as Victoria said.

When you come down here, your brain turns to mush, but I'm pleased I've got four right

and I'll be interested to see what F was.

I'll be OK to go away having just got one wrong.

"Johnny Depp appeared in A Nightmare On Elm Street." You said this is almost certainly false.

You've caught most of his films. You don't remember that one.

No, I don't remember him being in that. In Edward Scissorhands and all that, but...

Well, is that true or false?

-Oh.

-It's true, in actual fact.

-OK.

-It was in fact his debut performance in 1984.

-Oh, wow!

Usual Suspects, great news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game where one of you could be playing for a total of £5,000.

APPLAUSE

-They look very pleased. You're still smiling, Juliet. Have you enjoyed yourself?

-I've had a fantastic time.

It would have been nice to have won the money, but I'm glad these guys have something meaty to go on for.

-It's been fantastic.

-Let's hear it for Juliet, everybody.

-Thank you.

APPLAUSE

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

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hi, I'm Neil. I'm from Stockport and I'm an operations manager.

Welcome, Neil. Best of luck as we find out who has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Mary, it's you.

-Please come and play.

-I can't believe it.

-Mary, welcome to the game.

-Thank you, Nick. A pleasure to be here.

-You have an interest in amateur dramatics?

-Yes, I love acting, anything to do with acting.

It's just something in me that I've always wanted to do,

so I walked into an open audition and I actually got the part.

-And I had a brilliant review in the local paper.

-Excellent.

-That's how I got started, doing amateur dramatics.

-I wish you were in ours. You have to join ours.

-That sounds like it would be fun.

-Definitely.

Mary, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects. Now they're your enemies.

-Here's the good news. Nobody has won the last four games, so the prize fund now stands at £5,000.

-Wow!

Yes!

-So, imagine you walk out of here with a cheque for £5,000. What do you spend it on?

-Oh, skiing.

Skiing. That's something I've never done.

-You fancy having a go?

-I'd love to do that. Somewhere posh like Aspen.

-You know where all the stars go?

-Yeah.

-You don't know who you're going to bump into there.

-Especially if you're not very good at skiing!

-I'd do it on purpose if the Royal Family go in front of me.

I'd never thought it through that way, but you've shed a whole new light on it.

-Let's crack on.

-Come on.

-Three rounds and a final.

Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off for now. As soon as Mary makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game.

-Are you ready?

-Yes, I'm ready.

-Then let's get started and play Perfection.

Round 1. Your 45 seconds start now.

-False.

-False.

Oh...

-Hmm. True.

-True.

-That's true.

-True. And finally...

Yes, I'm sure it's set in Sheffield. I'd say "true".

True. With plenty of time to spare, you've answered all four statements.

-Did you enjoy that round?

-Yeah, not bad.

-Felt all right?

-I'm a bit unsure about one, maybe two.

-In with a chance of perfection?

-Maybe. Let's see what happens.

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

These were the four statements and Mary's answers.

-Victoria, what do you think?

-I think she's done pretty well. The only one I'm not sure about is A.

-You've done really well.

-Neil, can you see any mistakes?

Same again, just A, I think. That's the only one I'd be sceptical about.

The Usual Suspects think you've done very well.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round. How many are correct?

-Congratulations, Mary.

-Yes!

-You have achieved perfection.

-APPLAUSE

That's a cracking start, Mary. Let's take a look at those answers in more detail, shall we?

"The River Boyne flows through Dublin." Is that true or false?

It is false. It's the Liffey that flows through Dublin.

"Daniel Fahrenheit invented the mercury thermometer."

You said that was true and we now know that is true.

"First Among Equals is a novel by Jeffrey Archer." You said that was true and it is true.

"The film The Full Monty is set in Sheffield." You said that was true and it is true.

Mary, as a result of that perfect performance, you have made winning the prize fund a lot easier.

This is your final board and these six spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are your final round categories,

starting with Jazz running through Condiments on to Book Sequels,

Frogs and finishing in Surfing with many more in between.

Because you won that round, you can choose two categories to add to the board.

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

-I think Audrey Hepburn.

Audrey Hepburn goes across.

Book Sequels.

Book Sequels goes into the final as well.

Usual Suspects, you didn't get a look in there. We'll see you in the next round.

In the meantime, we'll switch you off. Away they go.

Mary, which two would you like to avoid? Which two subjects do you not want to get in the final?

Jazz, Surfing, Cricket.

You'd like to avoid those. All right, Mary, you've had a great start so far.

-Are you ready to play Round 2?

-Yes.

-Then let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-I think that's false. Never heard of it.

-False.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True. And finally...

-That is true.

-That's true.

As you can see by your little white line, you still had time to spare.

Very well played. Did that feel like a good round too?

-Yeah, there's just one I'm not too sure about.

-Which one's that?

-A.

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

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

-Neil, is it perfection this time?

-I think it might well be again, Nick. She's doing well.

-Pav, can you see anything wrong?

-Yeah, she's got two wrong.

A theremin is a musical instrument and the Akela is the leader of a Cub pack.

OK, Mary, let's find out how many you've got correct.

-Just one out of four on this occasion.

-Oh, no!

-So, not perfection.

-No.

-Quite a way from it on this occasion, I'm afraid.

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game. There's a chance to steal here.

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

-Theremin is an instrument?

-Yeah.

-So, A, we've got to change from "false" to "true".

-A from "false" to "true", Nick.

-A changes from "false" to "true".

-You need to change two others.

-C from "true" to "false".

Yeah, C from "true" to "false".

C from "true" to "false". And we need one other change.

-D from "true" to "false".

-Yeah. Can we change D from "true" to "false"?

And D changes from "true" to "false",

leaving B as answered by Mary.

Let's find out the correct answers.

"A theremin is a musical instrument." Is that true or false?

Yes, it is true.

"The British king during World War I was George V." Is that true or false?

That's true as well.

"The Akela is the leader of a Brownie pack." Is that true or false?

That is false.

It's the leader of a pack of Cub Scouts, as you so rightly said, Pav.

"The film Misery is based on a Sidney Sheldon book." True or false?

That is false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

Misery is based on a novel by Stephen King, in actual fact.

So, let's see the final board.

Two categories chosen by Mary, but because you won that round, Usual Suspects,

you get to choose the next two.

-Cricket, Neil?

-Cricket, yeah.

-Can we have Cricket across, please, Nick?

Cricket goes across. And another one?

-What about Surfing?

-Yeah, I'm happy with Surfing.

-Surfing?

-Yeah.

-Can we move Surfing across?

-Surfing goes across as well.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You won the second round.

We'll switch you off now, but we'll see you in Round 3.

-You didn't fancy Cricket or Surfing. That's a tough one, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-Come on, you can do this.

-Yeah, I'll give it my best shot.

-That's the way. Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-I'm sure that's true.

-True.

-Yeah.

I don't think it's a rugby stadium. There is a Murrayfield...

-I'm going to go "false", Nick.

-False.

Oh, the lev, um...

-I'm going to go "true".

-True. And finally...

-False.

-False.

-That felt a bit like the second round, a bit half and half.

-Half and half, yes.

-Yeah.

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

-OK.

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

-Victoria, is it perfection this time?

-It could be. I'm not sure about C.

-Neil, can you shed any light on this?

-It's definitely not perfection. B is wrong.

-Pav, what do you make of those answers?

-Definitely not. I'm reading Les Miserables.

It definitely is by Victor Hugo.

Mary, you need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round. How many are correct?

Just one out of the four again.

Not perfection and once again the Usual Suspects can steal this round.

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

-We start at the top. What do we think about A?

-That's right. A is true.

So we change everything else.

-Can we have B from "false" to "true", please?

-B changes from "false" to "true".

-C "true" to "false".

-C "true" to "false".

-And D "false" to "true".

-Leaving A as answered by Mary.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

"A ham hock comes from the leg of a pig." True or false?

It is true, which immediately shows you, Usual Suspects, where this is going to go.

"Murrayfield is a rugby stadium in Edinburgh." True or false?

That is true. "The lev is the monetary unit of the Czech Republic." True or false?

That's false.

It's the monetary unit of Bulgaria, in actual fact.

"Victor Hugo wrote the novel Les Miserables." Is that true or false?

That is true.

Exactly as you said, Pav. Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Very well played, Usual Suspects. Let's see the final board.

Four subject categories on there,

but because you won that round, Usual Suspects, you choose the last two, so which two do you fancy?

I fancy Monsters and Condiments.

-I like Museums.

-Neil?

-Museums are difficult, yeah. I think definitely Monsters.

-Museums and Monsters?

-Yeah.

-The two Ms.

-Can we have Monsters across?

-Monsters goes across.

-And Museums, please.

-And Museums. Thank you very much.

We now know our six final categories.

Guys, time to switch you off for the final time.

-What do you make of those last two? Monsters and Museums?

-It's not looking good, Nick.

-You never know. It depends how the questions fall, doesn't it?

-Yeah.

Mary, for £5,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

This is the all-important final. If you can achieve perfection, you could be leaving here with £5,000.

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

as one of them could play for £6,000 on the next show.

So, let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Mary, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly if you want to win £5,000. There's no time limit.

But once you've given your answer, it'll be locked in.

-Do you understand?

-Yes.

-Ready?

-Yes.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

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

Audrey Hepburn...

She was in Charade with Cary Grant, I think.

I don't think she won an Oscar.

-I'm going to say "false".

-False.

Book Sequels...

I've obviously heard of The Grapes Of Wrath.

I don't even think there was a sequel, so I'm going to say...

-.."false".

-False.

-Yes.

-Cricket...

-Eugh!

I'm going to start laughing because I actually know this.

I think I do.

He did. It's true.

True.

Surfing...

It sounds a bit fishy, doesn't it?

LAUGHTER

Oh, it's...

-I'm going to say "false".

-False.

-Yeah.

-Monsters...

-Eugh!

Oh, now, that's... Oh!

I don't know nothing about Aboriginal mythology,

but it could be true, so...

-I'm going to say "true". I'll say "true".

-True.

Museums...

I've never heard of it, Nick, so...

Oh... It could be true, it could be false.

Ohh!

Oh, I don't know what to do!

-I'm just going to say "true". I don't know. I'll say "true".

-True.

And with that, you've answered all of your six statements and those answers are locked in.

-If there's one mistake, you leave with nothing. Which ones are you unsure of? The last one?

-Obviously.

And E, "the bunyip is a creature from Aboriginal mythology".

-I'm not too sure about that.

-E and F?

-Yeah.

-Let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

-OK then.

Usual Suspects, you can see the final six statements and next to them are Mary's answers.

Mary, your answers are now locked in, but if you think you've made a mistake,

you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects, but this will come at a cost.

-Who would you like to hear from first?

-I think Pav.

The only two I'm sure of, we've answered the same,

and the other four, I'm not certain, so, sorry, I wouldn't be able to come down at this stage.

-OK, Pav's ruled himself out. Who would you like to hear from next?

-Neil, please.

How confident are you in the answers you've given?

I'm a little bit unsure on two. I'm positive on the others.

OK, a bit of a bad board for me, so I'll stay where I am, I'm afraid.

-So Neil's ruled himself out. Would you like to hear from Victoria?

-Yes, I would, please.

You've definitely got one wrong.

I'm dodgy on another two answers.

I would love to be able to help you,

but there's no point in us both going home with nothing, so I'm sorry, Mary.

That's negotiations over. The Usual Suspects are unwilling to help, so you're on your own.

£5,000 at stake. Six answers away. Let's see if you've achieved perfection.

Now that we're about to get started, I'm interested to see,

Neil, which one was it that you thought she might have wrong?

-B and C.

-B and C. Victoria, you thought there might be two wrong.

Yeah, C is definitely wrong.

-You think?

-Yeah.

-What was the other one?

I'm not too sure about B either.

All right, let's start at the top and make our way through.

"Audrey Hepburn won her only Oscar for Charade." You said "false".

You thought she didn't win her only Oscar for Charade.

So is it true or is it false?

-It is false. Very well done.

-APPLAUSE

Her only Oscar was for Roman Holiday.

-Was it really?

-Yeah. That was a great film as well.

-Lovely film.

-Lovely film.

-Beautiful.

OK, "Bitter Lemons is a sequel to The Grapes Of Wrath."

You said The Grapes Of Wrath didn't have a sequel, so that didn't make any sense, thus you said "false".

Is it true or is it false?

-It's false. Very well done.

-APPLAUSE

You're right. There is no recognised sequel to The Grapes Of Wrath.

This next one's interesting. You didn't fancy this in the first place. You didn't want Cricket.

Up came the question and you went, "I know this. Imran Khan played cricket for India, that's true."

The Usual Suspects are fairly convinced that this is wrong.

Is that true or false?

It is false, I'm afraid. He played for Pakistan.

The Usual Suspects were right on this occasion. Unfortunately, you are going home with no cash.

-Are you all right?

-I'm going to start crying.

No wonder you took up amateur dramatics!

LAUGHTER

That's very sad that it's gone that way, but maybe you can achieve perfection at home.

-Let's look through the rest of these and see how close you got.

-Not far.

"'Men in grey suits' is a surfing term for sharks."

You said that sounded a bit fishy. You said "false".

True or false?

-It's actually true. They refer to sharks as "men in grey suits".

-I don't believe that.

-We're not lying. I'm not making it up.

-I'm going to check that out on the internet when I get home.

-I don't make this up as I go along.

-Curb your language, Nick.

LAUGHTER

-Calm down, calm down.

-Let's press on to the bunyip, shall we?

-Go for it.

"The bunyip is a creature from Aboriginal mythology."

You said this was true. Is it true or is it false?

It is true.

-See?

-Yeah.

"The Smithsonian complex is based in Washington DC."

-You said that you hadn't heard of it and then plumped for "true".

-Yeah.

So is it true or false?

-It is true.

-Oh!

-So there you go.

You got four right and two wrong which isn't bad.

-Never mind. Not bad.

-Usual Suspects, that's great news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game where one of you could be playing for a total of £6,000.

They look very happy with that. Mary, you didn't achieve perfection, so you go home with nothing,

but you've been a fantastic contestant.

Thanks so much. You've been a fantastic presenter!

That's one of my best reviews ever. Thank you. Let's hear it for Mary, ladies and gentlemen!

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 £6,000, but, remember, on this show, we only pay for perfection. Goodbye.
