Episode 42 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz show that demands perfection.

Behind this screen are four contestants hoping their knowledge is absolutely flawless.

Because one single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome to the quiz show Perfection, where only perfect play is good enough.

Behind me are the contestants. We call them the usual suspects.

They're in our isolation room.

In a moment we'll find out which one of them has been randomly selected to join me 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 a single answer wrong

their opponents, the usual suspects,

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

So, you know how the game works. Let's meet the usual suspects.

Hi. My name's Diane and I come from Broseley near Shropshire.

And I'm a school cleaner and this is my first game.

Hello, I'm Angela. I'm from Hedge End near Southampton.

I'm a housing administrator and this is my first game.

Hi, my name's Cheryl. I live in Stockport and work in manufacturing. This is my third game.

Hiya, I'm Dave. I'm from Basildon in Essex.

I'm a bank manager and this is my fifth game.

Welcome to you all, especially Diane and Angela who are playing for the first time.

And good luck as we find out which one of you has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Angela, it's you! Please come and play!

APPLAUSE

-Angela, welcome to the game.

-Thank you.

-Bit of a whirlwind. Straight in and straight on to the game.

-Absolutely.

-Ready to play?

-More than, yes.

-Are you a competitive person?

-I can be, yes.

-Board games.

-Really?

-Yeah.

They won't play with me cos I'm quite good at them.

-Who won't play with you?

-The family.

Your own family won't play with you!

Like Trivial Pursuit and that, no.

-You can't just let them win sometimes?

-Well, yeah, I do.

-Do you?

-Well, yes, I... No.

OK, well, it's now you versus the usual suspects.

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

Their job is to stop you winning the prize fund so the prize money rolls over to the next game

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

Each game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Here's the good news. Nobody has won the last two games.

So the prize fund currently stands at £3,000.

APPLAUSE

So what you going to spend it on?

I've always wanted to go to Niagara Falls.

Go behind the Falls and have a walk round.

-A great thing to do. Good luck. I hope you win some money.

-Yeah.

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

Every round you achieve perfection will make the final easier.

If your performance is anything less than perfect,

the usual suspects here will have a chance to step in

and steal the round, making the final much harder for you.

More of that to follow later.

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

Each round consists of four true or false statements. You answer against the clock.

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

-Understand?

-I do.

-Ready to play?

-Think so!

Let's play Perfection!

APPLAUSE

Round one, your 45 seconds starts now.

I know that's false because Prince Andrew was born that year cos I was.

-So that's false.

-Yes. False.

I don't know, it's not something I read, actually.

-True.

-True?

I believe that's true.

True.

Sounds like it could be. I'll say true.

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

Did that feel like a successful round to you?

Erm... I don't know actually now thinking about it.

I think I might have got one of them wrong.

C. I've got a feeling he played another part in The Dark Knight.

Well, before we reveal how well you've done, it's time to bring back the usual suspects.

So, usual suspects, these were the four statements and next to them are Angela's answers.

-Dave, has she achieved perfection?

-I don't think she has.

I'm convinced D is wrong.

-Cheryl, what do you think?

-I think D is definitely wrong.

OK, moment of truth. Usual suspects don't think you've achieved perfection.

Let's find out who many of those statements are correct.

Just two out of four unfortunately.

You haven't achieved Perfection which means you've let your enemies into the game.

Usual suspects, can you steal the round? You can see Angela's answers.

You need to change two of them but which two is it going to be?

Tom Hardy didn't play The Joker. It was Heath Ledger.

A half-windsor is a knot for a tie.

I thought it was a knot.

-It's a half Nelson, the wrestling term.

-Yes, yes.

OK, Nick. Please can we change C from true to false.

C changes from true to false.

-And D from true to false.

-And D changes from true to false.

Leaving A and B as answered by Angela.

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

Princess Anne was born in 1960. Is that true or false?

It is false. She was born in 1950.

Bernard Samson is a spy created by Len Deighton.

Is that true or false?

It is true.

Tom Hardy played The Joker in The Dark Knight.

Is that true or false?

It is false.

Heath Ledger played The Joker, as you said, Cheryl.

And finally, a half-windsor is a wrestling hold. True or false.

It's false. Congratulations, usual suspects, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

As you so rightly pointed out, Dave, it is a method of knotting a tie.

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

-Rubbish, wasn't I?

-Not rubbish but just not perfect!

Unfortunately, if you're not perfect they can get in and nick the round.

And that does have consequences as I'm about to explain.

Usual suspects, you now have the opportunity

to make Angela's chances of winning the prize much harder.

Here's how. Angela, this is your final board appearing.

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

Here are the final round categories appearing.

Starting with 80s pop and on to Michael Caine.

If you'd have won that round you'd have the opportunity of adding two categories of your choice

but because the usual suspects stole the round from you,

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

Which two do you fancy, usual suspects?

Baseball sounds a good one.

You've got to know it or you haven't.

That's going to be quite random.

-Can we move baseball across?

-Baseball goes into the final.

I think hats cos that could be quite broad.

-Do you agree with that?

-Yeah.

-Can we move hats across, please?

And hats goes across into the final.

Well done, usual suspects, you've won the first round.

It's time to switch you off but we'll see you in round two. Cheerio.

With the usual suspects gone, what do you make of their choices?

-I bet secretly you're a mad keen baseball fan.

-Baseball fan. No!

Hats I'll have a go at. Baseball's going to be so random.

Take a look at the ones on the left.

Of those which would you choose given the opportunity?

-Give me two that you'd choose.

-Probably US sitcoms.

And musicals, maybe.

And musicals. Which two on that are you desperate to avoid?

Ugh. Hitchcock.

And 80s pop.

All right, it's only the first round. You still have two more rounds to find perfection.

And choose your own categories for the final.

-So, are you ready?

-Yes.

Then let's play round two.

(APPLAUSE)

Your 45 seconds start now.

-True or false?

-False.

False.

-I don't think that's right. That's false.

-False.

Erm...

It was probably best-selling at some point but, no, I think that's false.

False. And finally...

I don't believe so. False.

False.

And with time spare you've answered all four statements. A round of falses.

Yes. It's a bit strange, isn't it?

-But you seem more comfortable with that round.

-Yes, I do.

Yeah, I think Thriller's probably the best-selling album of all time.

Before we reveal how well you've done, let's bring back those usual suspects.

So, usual suspects, these were the four statements and next to them are Angela's answers.

-Cheryl, is it perfection this time?

-No, I don't think so.

I think Sgt Pepper had a bit of a revival

and I think it did go back to being the best-selling album.

-Diane, what do you think?

-I agree with Cheryl.

-Dave?

-I disagree with the ladies. I think it's perfection.

Interesting. Mixed reviews for you there, Angela.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Congratulations, Angela, you have achieved perfection!

Yes, turns out Dave was entirely accurate with his review.

Let's take a look at those answers in more detail, shall we?

Tarantulas are the world's most venomous spiders.

We now know that to be false.

There's no recording of anyone ever having died from a tarantula bite.

Oh, really?

Nihilism is the study of Egypt and its culture.

You said that was false. And of course it is false.

It is a play on word, on the river Nile.

Nihilism is the rejection of all religious and moral principles.

Oh right.

Sgt Pepper is the best-selling album of all time.

This got the ladies thinking that that might be true.

It is in fact false.

-What did you say it was?

-I thought Thriller.

And you'd be absolutely right. And by some considerable distance actually.

Tiger Woods' real first name is Kevin.

If only that were true.

It is actually false.

Eldrick, that's his first name. No wonder he changed it to Tiger.

Angela, as a result of that perfect performance,

you've made winning the prize of £3,000 a lot easier.

Let's have a look at the final board.

On there are two categories chosen by the usual suspects.

But you grasped control of that board.

You now have earned the right to choose two categories to go on there.

-What do you fancy?

-US sitcoms, please.

US sitcoms goes across.

And musicals.

And musicals goes into the final.

Well, usual suspects, you didn't get a look-in there.

I'm going to switch you off but we'll see you in round three.

Well done! By choosing your own categories hopefully you've made the final easier.

Got to keep going now.

Well, let's do that. Let's play round three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-False.

-False.

-I don't think so. False.

-False.

-That's false!

-False?

-Yeah.

-False.

-False.

And with that you've answered all four statements.

So what do you make of that round?

B, the tartrazine one, not sure really.

Tattersalls I've heard of but I don't think they're antiques.

C and D?

That's a bit weird. Maybe she did die of spontaneous combustion!

I don't know. I don't think she did.

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

So usual suspects, these are the four statements.

Next to them are Angela's answers. Diane, is this the perfect board?

I think she's only got two right.

All right. Cheryl, what do you make of that board?

It's not a great board for me. I only really know C.

-The others I'd be guessing at.

-All right. Dave?

Cheryl took the words out of my mouth. The same.

C's the only one I'm sure is correct. I don't know the others at all.

All right, then, the moment of truth.

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

Let's find out how many you got correct.

Three out of four's not bad. But it's not perfection.

You've let in your enemies, the usual suspects,

although judging by their comments I don't think that's too much of a worry.

LAUGHTER

Usual suspects, can you beat the odds and steal this round?

You can see Angela's answers. In fact you only need to change one of them. So which one is it?

Well, we all know C's right.

Ten active volcanoes I think has got to be something pretty major. You'd know about that.

I should think it's orange, tartrazine.

-Tartrazine is orange, is it?

-I think it's orange.

OK, so are we willing to change A? Or do you think something else?

Can we please change A from false to true?

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

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

We'll find out how well you've done straightaway.

The company Tattersalls specialises in antiques. Is that true or false?

It's false!

It's horse auctions that Tattersalls do.

I'm afraid you had the chance to steal the round but you failed to achieve perfection.

As a result, the only person that can achieve perfection now is you at home possibly.

So let's go through the rest of those answers.

The food dye tartrazine is yellow in colour. Is that true or false?

That's the one that's true! That's the one you needed to change really.

Queen Victoria died by spontaneous combustion.

Is that true or false?

Yeah, that's actually false.

She died peacefully after a short illness.

Finally, there are over ten active volcanoes in the UK. Is that true or false?

That's false. You'd know about it if there were.

How much molten lava have you seen floating round the UK recently

or ash spewing into the air?

OK, usual suspects, you had the chance to achieve perfection.

But you failed to do it.

If you had achieved perfection, you would now have the opportunity

to make Angela's chances of winning harder.

Let's have a look at the board.

Four subject categories chosen so far.

And it's half and half.

You've chosen two, usual suspects have chosen two.

Nobody managed to win round three

meaning we have two blank spaces to be filled.

So how do we do it? Well, to fill those spaces you'll take it in turns to choose a category.

So, Angela, as a single player, you get to choose first.

-Which would you like to add?

-Ooh... Flags.

Flags goes across into the final.

Usual suspects, please choose a category that you think will trouble Angela.

-I think 80s pop.

-Yeah.

We'll go for 80s pop to move in, please.

80s pop goes into the final.

We now know our six final categories.

Usual suspects, it's time to switch you off for the final time.

-They chose 80s pop for you.

-Thank you! Not!

SHE LAUGHS

-Not something you fancy?

-Not really.

But you never know.

-They're true or false answers. You're in with a chance.

-Exactly.

-You achieved perfection in one round.

-Fingers crossed, eh?

Angela, for £3,000, it's time to play the final!

APPLAUSE

This is the final. If you achieve perfection

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

If you fail, you'll leave with nothing - great news for the usual suspects

cos one of them could be playing for a rollover of £4,000 on the next game.

So let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Angela, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly if you want to win the £3,000.

Think carefully, there's no time limit.

But once you've given an answer, your first answer will be locked in.

-OK. Are you ready?

-I think I am.

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

Baseball.

I think he wasn't a baseball player.

So I'm going to say that's false.

False.

Hats.

Doesn't ring a bell at all. I'm going to say that's false.

False.

US sitcoms.

Do you know, I think this is about the only one I don't watch.

Isn't that typical?

I'm going to say false because I don't really know at all.

-False?

-Yeah.

Musicals.

We Will Rock You.

No, he didn't write the songs. I think he wrote probably the storyline.

Queen did. So that's false.

-False?

-Yeah.

Flags.

Map of the world.

I can't even picture it, to be honest.

-I'll say true. A guess.

-True.

And finally 80s pop.

Worst one.

No.

No, they weren't.

Definitely that is false. They were named after a character in a film.

-False?

-Mm.

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

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

The flag of the UN.

And the Two And A Half Men. Definitely.

If it'd been anything else, I'd have been fine!

C and E.

All right, let's bring back the usual suspects and see what they have to say.

Usual suspects, you can now see the final six statements.

Next to them are Angela's answers.

Angela, your answers are now locked in.

You can't change them but if you think you made a mistake

you can unlock the board with the help of the usual suspects.

This will however come at a cost.

Usual suspects, I'm now going to ask you how well you think Angela has done.

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

Angela, who would you like to hear from first?

Dave?

I know for a fact you got one wrong. But I'm not confident with any of the others.

-I'm not prepared to come out, sorry.

-Not for any money?

-I'm sorry.

-Cheryl, then, please?

-I think there might be two wrong.

-Right.

-But like Dave I'm not confident on all the others.

-You've ruled yourself out?

-Yeah, I'd say rule myself out. Yeah.

-And Diane?

-I think you've got two wrong

but I'm not confident enough to help you, I'm sorry.

What a shame.

None of the usual suspects are willing to help you.

-So it's you on your own.

-On my own.

£3,000 at stake. Six answers away. Let's find out if you've achieved perfection.

The two that you're really worried about are C and E, aren't they?

-Yes, they are.

-They're the two you're really unsure about.

Well, let's start at the top.

Joe DiMaggio played for the Boston Red Sox.

Now, you said you weren't sure Joe DiMaggio was a baseball player.

That might be the trick in the question.

So you said false.

You need this to turn red to get underway towards the £3,000.

If it turns green you've fallen at the first hurdle.

Is it true or false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

Joe DiMaggio is a baseball player but he played with the New York Yankees.

It doesn't matter how you get to the right answer. You said false and you're right.

So it's a good start. Selby is another name for a bowler hat.

You had a think about that and decided that was false.

You need this to turn red.

If it does, you are a third of the way to the £3,000.

So Selby is another name for a bowler hat. Is that true or false?

It is false!

APPLAUSE

-Bowler hats were generally called Derbys.

-Oh yes!

They called it that in the United States.

-So then you come to C.

-The show I never watch!

-First one you chose yourself as well.

-I know.

-I'm going to hop over that and come back to that.

-Ooh!

Let's go on to the next one. Ben Elton wrote the songs in We Will Rock You.

You said no, Queen wrote the songs in We Will Rock You. Ben Elton maybe wrote the storyline.

So you said false.

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

Don't!

Course if it turns green, you've lost the money, it rolls over to the usual suspects.

So, Ben Elton wrote the songs in We Will Rock You.

You need it to turn red. Is it true or false?

-It's false!

-My word.

You were right, Queen wrote the songs, Ben Elton wrote the storyline.

-So, halfway to the money.

-Gosh.

Then there's this next one you're worried about. The flag of the UN features a map of the world.

I'm going to hop over that as well.

We're going to go on to F.

Duran Duran were named after a city in Persia. You were sure about this.

I'm pretty sure. I think it was from a science fiction film that they picked the name.

OK, Duran Duran were named after a city in Persia. You said this was false.

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

It is false.

APPLAUSE

You're absolutely right, they were named after a character in the sci-fi film Barbarella.

Barbarella, that's it. I thought it was, yeah.

So now we come to the two that worried you.

We cleared out the way the ones you were fairly confident in

and we'll go back up to C, shall we?

The TV show Two And A Half Men is set in New York.

-Is this where you lose the money?

-I reckon it will be.

Or does Lady Luck smile on you?

You said false. You need this to turn red.

To make it an all red board so far.

What are the chances of that, that there are five out of six reds?

Turns green, it rolls over to the usual suspects.

If it turns red you're one away from £3,000 all on your own.

Lovely. Niagara! Here I come!

Well, we're two away. Let's see.

You said this was false. You need it to turn red.

The TV show Two And A Half Men is set in New York. Is that true or false?

It's false.

APPLAUSE

Wow. I don't believe it.

Yeah, set in Malibu.

So here we are. What an interesting place.

The board's entirely red and now we come to the final one you were worried about.

The flag of the UN features a map of the world.

You said true.

I don't know.

But you couldn't picture the map.

No, I couldn't think of it in my head.

Standing between you and £3,000 is this one statement and answer.

The flag of the UN features a map of the world.

Is it possible there's a flag with a map of the world on it?

You said it was true. If this turns green, you're leaving here with £3,000.

-And you're on the way to Niagara.

-Ooh, lovely!

However, if it turns red,

you've fallen at the final hurdle,

and the money rolls over for the usual suspects.

The flag of the UN

features a map of the world.

You said it's true.

Is it true?

Or false?

For £3,000.

It's true! Congratulations. You have achieved perfection and won £3,000!

APPLAUSE

That is unbelievable!

£3,000! You're going to Niagara!

How cool is that?

That is unbelievable! I am so thrilled!

-Who's going to Niagara with you?

-My husband. We've been married since 1981.

-Ah!

-I shall take him.

-Yes.

-You've just recently had a big anniversary?

-We did.

But I wasn't particularly well when we went away so this'll make up for it now.

I'm really pleased for you, that's fantastic news.

Well, unfortunately for you, usual suspects,

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

Congratulations to you, Angela. You have achieved perfection.

You're going on holiday with your husband to Niagara

You've won £3,000! Let's hear it for Angela, everybody.

APPLAUSE

Ah, I love it when people win.

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

New usual suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hi, my name's Becky, I'm from Shrewsbury and I'm a primary school teacher.

Hello, Becky, welcome to the show.

And good luck as we now find out which one of you has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Dave, it's you who's been chosen! Please come down and play!

APPLAUSE

-Dave, welcome to the game.

-Thank you.

-You've been here a while.

-I have, yeah.

Thought about coming down a couple of times.

Bit of strategy here and there. None of it paid off!

OK, Dave, it's now you versus the usual suspects.

They were your teammates, they're now your enemies. Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Unfortunately for you...

The previous game was won so the prize fund is reset to £1,000.

But as you well know, running a bank, £1,000 is a decent amount of cash.

-Absolutely it is, yeah.

-What are you going to spend it on?

Me and my younger son are gadget freaks

so we'll just go and buy every gadget you can think of for £1,000 really!

-Just do stuff with your younger son.

-Yeah, basically.

That's nice. Three rounds to come. And a final.

Usual suspects, we'll switch you off so you can't see or hear anything.

As soon as Dave makes a mistake you'll be back in the game.

-Are you ready?

-I am.

-Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round one, your 45 seconds starts now.

Now I'm certain I've heard something along those lines.

So I'll say true to that.

True.

I've been looking at that with a neighbour, muscles.

I've just got a feeling that you do quads. Yeah, that's true.

True.

Er, I've absolutely no idea.

-I'm going to say false.

-False. Keep an eye on the time.

That would make her... I would say that's true.

True.

With just a little time spare, you've answered all four statements.

-Happy with that round?

-Yes, I am actually.

-Chance of perfection?

-I think there's a good chance.

All right, before we reveal how well you've done, it's time to bring back the usual suspects.

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

-Cheryl, what do you think? Is it perfection?

-I think it is, yeah.

-I think you've done well, Dave.

-Diane, do you agree?

Yes, well done, Dave, I think you've achieved perfection.

Becky, can you see anything wrong with his answers?

I'm not 100 per cent certain

but I would agree he's probably achieved perfection.

Wow, vote of confidence from the usual suspects there, Dave.

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

Let's see how many are correct.

Congratulations, Dave, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

That will have settled your nerves down, achieving perfection first time out.

Let's have a look at those answers.

If a statement is true it'll turn green, if it's false it'll turn red.

David Cameron is a descendant of King William IV.

You thought you'd heard that was true and it turns out it is true.

The quadriceps muscles are in the legs of humans.

You thought that to be true and it is true.

Asia Minor is an archaic name for Japan. You thought this was false.

It turns out it is false. It's another term for the Turkish peninsula.

And finally Oprah Winfrey was born in the 1950s.

You had a quick think about that, did some maths in your head, and decided that was true,

and it turns out it is true.

Very well played, Dave.

As a result of that perfect performance you've made winning the final that little bit easier.

Here's how. Appearing is your final board.

These six spaces need to be filled with subject categories. Here are your final categories.

Starting with cats and dogs and further on to Nelson with many more in between.

You won the round so you earn the right to choose two categories to add to that board

so which two would you like?

My eyes are drawn straightaway to nipples but I don't know why

so I'll leave that for the minute cos that just conjures up all sorts of things.

I'll go to cats and dogs, please.

-Cats and dogs.

-And, go on, let's have nipples then.

-And nipples. Couldn't help yourself, could you?

-No!

OK, usual suspects, we'll see you in the next round. Let's switch you off now.

And away they go.

Which two do you not want?

There's not a lot on there I like at all.

I'm looking at the whole board thinking they're all really hard.

But probably ballet and Nelson.

-Ballet and Nelson are the two you'd like to avoid.

-Yes.

All right, well, you made a great start to the game.

We really ought to carry on riding that wave, don't you think?

-Absolutely.

-Let's play round two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

No, they boycotted the 1980 ones in Moscow. That's false.

False.

I'm thinking they're more Switzerland way. I'm trying to think of France...

I think that's false. I think it's Germany and Switzerland.

False.

Absolutely no idea. I'm going to say true, though, as a guess.

True. And finally...

It might be something to do with the year but it was pretty much there. I'm going to say true.

True. And again with seconds to spare you've answered all four statements.

Didn't feel quite as positive as the first round?

No. The first two I'm pretty convinced about.

The last two really are guesses.

All right, 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 Dave's answers.

Diane, has he achieved perfection?

I think this is another round he's done pretty well.

I think he's achieved perfection again.

Cheryl, where do you stand on this?

I think he's done well. The only one I'm not sure of is the Blur album.

I don't think they did that one called Different Class.

Right, Dave, a mixture of reviews this time from the usual suspects.

Let's find out how many you have correct.

Just two out of four this time.

In a 50/50 game, that's a pretty average score.

You failed to achieve perfection. You've let the usual suspects into the game.

Can you steal the round?

You can see Dave's answers, you need to change two of them.

C. Are you confident with Blur?

I'm not 100 per cent but I've never heard of that.

I'm drawn towards A. Don't know why.

Wasn't it the 1980 Olympics in Moscow that was boycotted?

I think we should leave that as false.

I think it's possibly C

and possibly D.

That's what I would go for. Are you happy with that?

Happy with that.

Can we change C from true to false, please, Nick?

C changes from true to false.

And D from true to false.

And D from true to false leaving A and B as Dave answered.

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

The USA boycotted the 1976 Olympic Games.

Is that true or false?

It is false.

In fact it was the 1980 Olympics in Moscow that the USA boycotted.

Liechtenstein has borders with France and Germany.

Is that true or false?

Yes, that's false as well.

It's between Austria and Switzerland in actual fact.

So you know where this is going now.

Different Class is an album by Blur. True or false?

Yeah, it's false. It's by Pulp.

And Desperate Dan first appeared in The Beano in 1937. True or false?

It's false. Congratulations, usual suspects.

You have achieved perfection.

In fact Desperate Dan first appeared in The Dandy in 1937.

That was what you were looking for.

Oh dear, Dave, the usual suspects have succeeded where you failed and they've stolen the round.

You now have the opportunity to make Dave's chances of winning the prize fund of £1,000 much harder.

Let's have a look at the final board.

Two subject categories chosen by Dave.

But because you won the round, usual suspects, you get to choose the next two categories.

Which two do you want?

-Ballet?

-Yeah.

Or plants. Does he look like a plant person?

Right, we'll go for them then.

-Can we move plants over, Nick?

-Plants goes into the final.

-And ballet, please.

-And ballet.

Congratulations, usual suspects, you've won the second round.

It's time to switch you off but we'll see you in round three.

-Ballet.

-That was bound to happen.

It kind of was!

Once they'd won the round and were able to choose for you,

that was always going to be on the cards.

-How about plants?

-Plants, yeah, OK.

One of those average ones.

You have one more round to find perfection and choose your own categories.

-If you're ready?

-Yeah.

-Let's play round three.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I think he would have been too old in World War II.

Or at least let off for singing. I'm going to say false for that.

-False.

-Yeah.

Was it first or second?

I think first was beheaded so that's false.

False.

No, he played for Barcelona. That's false.

False. And finally...

I think he was, actually, just from looking at the DVD cover.

Yeah, that's true.

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

-That felt more like the first round.

-Yeah, it did.

Felt quite confident actually.

Before we find out, let's bring back the usual suspects and see what they have to say.

Usual suspects, these are the four statements and next to them are Dave's answers.

Diane, has he achieved perfection this time?

Yet again I think he's done it this time.

I think he's achieved perfection.

-Becky, do you agree?

-I'm really unsure with all of these.

I would have said possibly Frank Sinatra did serve in the Navy

but I wouldn't be 100 per cent certain.

All right, Dave, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four perfectly to win. Let's find out how many are correct.

Congratulations, Dave, once again you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Very well played. Let's take a look at those answers in more detail.

Frank Sinatra served in the US Navy during World War II.

You said that was false.

And it turns out to be false.

He was drafted into the Army but wasn't suitable

-due to a perforated eardrum.

-Oh wow.

The English king Charles II was beheaded.

You said this was false and it turns out to be false

because it was Charles I, as you said, that was beheaded.

Gary Lineker played football for Real Madrid. You said that was false.

It is of course false because he played for...

Barcelona. No?

Yes! LAUGHTER

Jimmy Carrey was in the film Peggy Sue Got Married.

Is that true or false?

And that is true.

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

Let's have a look at your final board.

It's a 50/50 board at the moment.

You chose the first two, the usual suspects chose three and four.

And now because you won that round you get to choose the last two.

-So what would you like?

-I think we'll go for Oscars.

Oscars goes across.

Yeah, and let's have the other one with it. Film quotes, please.

And film quotes.

We now know our six final categories.

It's time to switch off the usual suspects for the final time.

And away they go.

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

Dave, this is the all-important final. If you achieve perfection, you could be leaving with £1,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing, which will be great news for the usual suspects.

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

So, let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Dave, here are your final six categories.

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

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

your first answer will be locked in.

-Do you understand?

-I do, yeah.

-OK, are you ready?

-I am, yes.

Then let's reveal your first statement. Please tell me whether you believe it to be true or false.

Cats and dogs.

I don't think you'd ever have the opportunity to mate them so I think that's false.

False.

Nipples.

Do you know, there is something in the back of my mind about this that I must have read.

I'm wondering whether that's pigs now.

I think it's pigs. I'm going to say false to that.

-False.

-Yeah.

Plants.

I think that's something to do with camomile tea.

That's what I'm looking at that. I don't know what simensis is.

I don't know why you'd have a scientific name for it other than it's a leaf off a...

-I'm going to say false as well to that.

-False.

Yeah.

Ballet.

Now...

Absolutely no idea.

Erm...

I saw Black Swan. Swan Lake, Aurora.

I've had three falses. It sounds like it could be the name of a character.

-I'm going to say true to that.

-True.

-Yeah.

Oscars.

I think she was older. I'm going to say false to that.

-False. And finally, film quotes.

-Yeah.

Now that is one of my all-time favourite films.

It makes no sense at all.

But neither does the film really so I'm going to say true.

True, and with that, Dave, those answers are locked in.

A mistake and you leave with nothing. Which are you unsure of?

I've got to be honest, all of them. Not a good board at all.

All right, let's bring back the usual suspects and see what they have to say.

Usual suspects, you can now see the final six statements and next to them Dave's answers.

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

but you can unlock them with the help of the usual suspects.

This will, however, come at a cost.

Dave, who would you like to hear from first?

I've got to go for Cheryl, please.

I haven't got a Scooby, to be honest.

I don't know any of them, I'm really sorry.

-Who would you like to hear from next?

-I'll go to Diane, please.

There's only one I think you have wrong

but not too sure about coming down to help you this time, sorry.

And along to Becky. I may as well hear, thank you.

I'm about the same. There's one I think you've got wrong.

But I wouldn't be confident enough to help you out.

I have a feeling they're hoping the money's going to roll over.

-Yeah, course.

-Doesn't mean it's going to happen.

You might have done this all on your own.

Either way, negotiations have been completed. None will come and help you.

As a result, it's £1,000 at stake.

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

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

-You're not looking confident.

-No, I don't feel confident.

All right, start at the top, let's see how we do.

The offspring of a cat and a dog is called a cog.

You said false. You thought it was unlikely that anybody could produce the offspring of a cat and dog.

You need this to turn red to get you started. Is it true or false?

It is of course false.

APPLAUSE

No recorded incidents of these ever interbreeding.

-I'm not even sure it's possible.

-No!

Let's move on to the next one. All cows have eight nipples.

You said that's more likely to be pigs so that's false.

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

It is false!

APPLAUSE

Getting more confident now!

Four is more normal and they're usually referred to as teats.

-So that's a good start and you can be less depressed now.

-Yeah!

-Feeling better?

-On a scale of depression, we've moved up!

Camellia simensis is the scientific name for tea.

You said this was false. Why would tea have a scientific name?

If it turns red, you're halfway to the money.

If it turns green, you've lost the money and it rolls over for the usual suspects.

So, camellia simensis is the scientific name for tea. True or false?

-I'm afraid that's true!

-Oh no!

When you were talking about it you kind of worked it out.

-You talked about...

-Camomile, yeah.

Which kind of gives you an idea.

And why would it have a scientific name? Because the tea plant...

-The leaves have to come from a plant. The plant has to have a scientific name.

-Yeah.

So what a shame. I'm afraid you haven't achieved perfection.

And therefore will not be going home with the money.

Perhaps you can still achieve perfection at home.

Let's take a look at the statements and answers.

Aurora is the heroine of Swan Lake. Is it true or false?

Yeah, it's false, I'm afraid.

Aurora is the heroine of Sleeping Beauty.

-Oh right.

-In actual fact.

Tatum O'Neal won an Oscar at the age of four.

You knew she won an Oscar but you didn't think it was that young so you said false.

Is that true or false?

That one is false. She won an Oscar when she was ten.

For Paper Moon. So you were right about that. Exactly spot on.

-That's three right and two wrong. That's not bad, is it?

-No!

Finally, "These go to 11" is a quote from Airplane.

You said it didn't make any sense at all but then the film didn't either.

So that could be true. Is that true or false?

I'm afraid that's false as well.

-It's a line from Spinal Tap.

-Oh, is it?

-When he's talking about his amplifiers.

-Yeah, the volume.

So, usual suspects, that's great news for you. The prize money rolls over to the next game.

Where one of you could be playing for a total of £2,000.

APPLAUSE Congratulations.

Dave, you failed to achieve perfection which means you go home with nothing.

-I hope you enjoyed playing.

-I had a brilliant time.

We loved having you. Dave, ladies and gentlemen.

APPLAUSE

That's all we have time for. Join us again next time

when our usual suspects have the chance to play again, this time for £2,000.

But remember, as you saw in the first game,

we will pay for perfection. Cheerio.

APPLAUSE
