Episode 44 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz show that demands nothing less than perfection.

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

One single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Hello. Welcome to Perfection, the show 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 has been randomly selected to join me to play Perfection.

They'll then face a series of true or false statements.

If I said...

Would you say that's true or false?

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

Answering true or false might seem easy,

but if the contestant gets a single answer wrong,

their opponents, the Usual Suspects, will be allowed into the game to capitalise on their mistakes.

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

Hi, I'm Rachael. I live in Brighton and I'm a social worker.

This is my first game.

Hi. I'm Lewis. I live in Manchester. I work in marketing and this is my second game.

Hi. I'm Stewart. I live in Glasgow. I'm an administrator for a training provider

and this is my fifth game.

Hi. I'm Cheryl. I live in Stockport. I work in manufacturing and this is my ninth game.

Welcome to you all. Good luck to you all, especially Rachael as it's her first game.

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

Stewart, it's you. Please come and play.

-Stewart, welcome to the game. This is your fifth game.

-Fifth game, yes.

-Enjoyed being a Usual Suspect?

-Yes, it's been good fun.

-But I'm glad to be here now.

-Ready to earn some money, are you?

-Yes.

It's now you versus the Usual Suspects. They were your team-mates. They're now your enemies.

Their job is to stop you winning the prize fund.

Your failure will mean the prize money rolls over and one of them could be playing for a bigger total.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

The good news is nobody's won the last five games,

so the prize fund currently stands at £6,000.

APPLAUSE

What would you spend that £6,000 on?

-A road trip.

-A road trip?

-Route 66.

-Would you hire a car or a motorbike or...

-A '55 Chevy.

-A '55 Chevy to take you all across America.

-Yeah.

-Sounds like the trip of a lifetime.

-It would be, yes.

It would be great.

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

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

However, if your performance is anything less than perfect, the Usual Suspects can step in

making the final much harder for you. More of that to follow.

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

-When they're like this, you can talk through your answers without giving away vital knowledge.

-Yep.

Each round consists of four true or false answers.

You'll answer against the clock. You have 45 seconds,

-and once you've given your answer, it's locked in. Ready?

-Yep.

Then let's play Perfection.

Round One. Your 45 seconds starts now.

That's false. She's a famous nanny.

-False.

-Yep.

-That's true. In Australia.

-True.

Not sure. Don't think so. I'll go false.

It is a wind that blows in France.

Is it warm or cold?

I'll go true with that as well.

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

-That felt like a strong round.

-It seems to be.

The only one I'm really unsure about is C.

-The Toffees.

-Yep.

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

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

Cheryl, has he achieved perfection?

C is definitely wrong. They're definitely called The Toffees.

Lewis, what do you think?

I agree with Cheryl. C is definitely wrong.

I'd also question D slightly.

Stewart, the moment of truth. You need to have answered all four perfectly

to have won the round. How many are correct?

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

As a result, you've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Can you steal the round? You can see Stewart's answers. You need to change just one. Which one?

-Are we unanimous on C?

-Yes, definitely.

-That didn't take long!

-I'm a Liverpool supporter, so it's an easy one for me.

Can we change C from false to true, please.

C changes to true, leaving A, B and D as Stewart answered.

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

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

That is false, as you said, Stewart. She's a super-nanny.

That's true, as well. In Australia.

Yes, that's true. Well done, Cheryl and Lewis.

You know where this is going.

It's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

They've succeeded where you failed and have stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you can now make Stewart's chances of winning the prize fund much harder.

Stewart, this is your final board appearing in front of you.

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

Let's have a look at them.

If you'd won that round, Stewart, you could have added two categories of your choice to the final.

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

hoping to make the final that much harder for you.

Usual Suspects, which two do you fancy?

-Lakes could be quite broad.

-English kings, maybe?

-Do you think?

-Mozart?

-Yes, Mozart is a good one.

Do you want to go for Mozart and English kings?

-I'm happy with that.

-Yes.

Can we add Mozart and English kings, please, Nick.

Well done, Usual Suspects. You've won the first round. We'll see you in Round Two.

They can't hear us now. Let's talk about those two. Mozart?

-Possibly OK for me.

-English kings?

-English kings, not so OK.

Looking at those subjects, which would be the first two you'd choose, given the opportunity?

Languages and cartoon strips.

Languages and cartoon strips.

Which two are you desperate to avoid?

Nose bleeds and musicals, probably.

OK. It's only the first round.

You still have two more chances to choose your own categories for the final.

-Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-Let's play Round Two.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

No, false. It was H.G.Wells.

That's true, yes.

I think that's true as well, yes.

Not sure, but go for true.

Complete guess. True.

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

-Good round?

-The only ones I'm really sure about are A and B.

C and D, not quite so sure.

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

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements with Stewart's answers.

Lewis, is it perfection?

Addis Ababa is definitely not the capital of Sudan.

And Dizzee Rascal's real name isn't Stephen Manderson.

So there's at least two wrong.

Rachael, what do you make of those answers?

I agree with Lewis. Addis Ababa is the capital of Ethiopia.

Dizzee Rascal, I'd be guessing.

-Cheryl, are you down with the kids?

-I sure am. I know D is definitely wrong.

Thank you, everybody. The moment of truth, Stewart.

Let's see how many are correct.

Just two out of the four.

Much as predicted by the Usual Suspects.

You now have a chance to steal this round, Usual Suspects.

You can see Stewart's answers. You need to change two.

-Yes, C and D, definitely.

-C and D, yes.

Can we change C from true to false.

C changes from true to false.

-And D from true to false, please.

-And D from true to false.

Leaving A and B as answered by Stewart.

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

It is false, of course. It's by H.G.Wells.

That is false. It's the capital of Ethiopia. Khartoum is the capital of Sudan.

It is false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

He is, of course, better known as Professor Green.

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

Usual Suspects, you can now make Stewart's chances of winning the prize fund that bit harder.

Let's look at the final board again.

Two subject categories chosen and because you won that round,

Usual Suspects get the chance to choose the next too as well.

-What do you think?

-Bridges?

-Bridges.

-Yeah. I think languages.

-Do you think he'd know anything about musicals?

Doesn't strike me as a musical man.

-Languages and musicals, maybe?

-Yeah.

-Happy with that.

Can we have languages and musicals, please?

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you've won the second round. We'll see you in Round Three.

-Languages and musicals. They think you know nothing about musicals.

-I'm happy with either of those.

Maybe not so much musicals, but reasonably happy.

Still one more chance to find perfection and choose your own categories for the final.

-Ready for the next round?

-Yes.

-Good. Let's play Round Three.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

False. They were fought in South Africa.

No idea. I'll say false for that.

Um, I think that's possibly true.

True. I have to take true.

Yes, it is. It's by Gaudi.

-I need the words.

-Sorry, that's true.

True. Thank you very much. With time to spare, you've answered all four.

-I can't say true or false for you until you've actually given me the word!

-Yep.

Is that a perfect round? Have you succeeded, do you think?

Positive about A and D.

C, 80 per cent.

B, no idea at all. Just a guess.

It's tough, isn't it, if you get one in there that you just don't know.

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

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements, with Stewart's answers.

Rachael, has he achieved perfection?

I think B might be incorrect.

So I'm going to say not perfection.

-Cheryl, what do you think?

-No, I don't believe he's got perfection.

Alex Turner is the lead singer of the Arctic Monkeys

so I assume he's a founder member.

Stewart, you need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round.

Let's see how many are correct.

Three out of four is a good score, but not perfection.

As a result, you've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, you can steal the round

if you can find out which one's wrong.

Change just one of Stewart's answers. Which one?

I wonder how long it will take you to work this out?

-What do you think?

-Go for B.

-Are you sure?

-Yep.

-Everybody sure?

-Definitely.

-OK.

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

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

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

They were fought in South Africa.

True. You know where this is going, now, Usual Suspects.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

Just the information for you at home.

The Sagrada Familia was designed by Gaudi.

The Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed and have stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you can now make Stewart's chance of winning the prize fund as hard as they can be.

Let's see the final board.

Four subject categories chosen, all of them by you, so far.

Because you won the last round, you get to complete the board

with two more chosen by you. What do you fancy?

-Geometry?

-I agree. I think geometry.

-So that's the first one, yeah?

-Can we have geometry, please?

Geometry goes into the final.

-Fort Knox?

-You've been saying lakes.

-That's quite random.

-Have that as well.

-Yeah.

-OK?

Can we have lakes as well, please?

Lakes goes into the final.

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

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

What do you make of those last two?

Geometry, yes, that could be OK.

And lakes could be OK as well.

Good. That's the way to go. Stewart, for £6,000, it's time to play the final.

Stewart, the all-important final. If you achieve perfection, you could win the prize fund of £6,000.

If you fail, you'll leave with nothing,

which would be great news for the Usual Suspects, as one of them could play for a rollover of £7,000

on the next game. So, let's play the final round.

Stewart, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six correctly to win the £6,000.

Think carefully. There is no time limit

but your first answer is locked in.

-Ready?

-I'm ready.

-Then let's reveal your first statement.

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

Mozart.

I'm fairly sure that's true.

English kings.

One of them went abroad and could have picked up malaria,

but I don't think it was Richard III.

I'll say that's false.

Languages.

It could be.

Um, Portuguese explorers went there.

So did Spanish.

I'll say true.

Musicals.

Absolutely no idea.

I remember The Four Seasons.

They were Jerseys possibly.

I think I'll say that's false.

Geometry.

Hexa deca...

Hex is eight and deca is ten.

So yes, that's true.

Lakes.

I know it's in Russia somewhere.

I don't know if it's as far east as Siberia.

I'll say false.

Stewart, those answers are now locked in.

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

B, C, D and F.

B, C, D and F.

-That's a tough end game for you.

-Yes.

Let's switch on the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and next to them, Stewart's answers.

Stewart, your answers are locked in and 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.

Usual Suspects, I'm now going to ask you how well you think Stewart has done,

if you want to help, and if you do, how much it's going to cost him.

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

-Rachael, first.

I don't think you've achieved perfection.

There are one or two I'd be tempted to change,

but I'm not confident enough in them to come and offer to help, I'm afraid.

-Lewis?

-I'm pretty sure you've got two wrong.

I think you've got two right, but there's two I haven't got a clue about.

-So I think that's me out, to be honest.

-Yes, OK.

-Anybody else?

-Cheryl?

-I only really know two

so I'll have to count myself out, sorry.

That's pretty conclusive. None of the Usual Suspects want to come and help out at this stage.

They chose you a very difficult board to make the money roll over.

It's so difficult, they're not able to help you out.

£6,000 at stake, six answers away.

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

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

You need this to turn green.

It's true. Off to a good start. Well done.

"Richard III died from malaria." You said somebody travelled abroad and got sick,

but you didn't think it was him.

You said false. If this is false, you're a third of the way to the money.

It is false. Well played.

Richard III died at the Battle of Bosworth Field.

He died in battle, rather than from malaria.

"The main language of Chile is Portuguese."

You said it could be true or it might be Spanish.

You went with true. If it turns green, you're halfway to the money.

If it turns red, you lose the money and it rolls over to the next game, for the Usual Suspects.

It is false!

And as you so rightly pointed out,

it is Spanish.

I'm afraid that means you've failed to achieve perfection

and you'll be going home with no money at all.

Can you still achieve perfection at home? Let's run through the answers.

"Jersey Boys" is about the group The Four Seasons.

Yeah, it's true.

A hexadecagon has 18 equal sides.

It's false, in actual fact.

-It's 16 sided.

-OK.

Finally, "Lake Baikal is in Siberia."

You said it was somewhere in Russia, you thought.

It is, in fact, true.

It is in Siberia.

Usual Suspects, great news for you. The prize fund rolls over

and one of you could be playing for a total of £7,000. Well done.

Stewart, I'm afraid you've failed to achieve perfection, so you go home with nothing

-other than our thanks for playing. Hope you enjoyed it.

-I've had a great time.

Stewart, everybody.

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

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hi. I'm Jon, from Boston in Lincolnshire

and I'm an IT consultant.

Welcome, Jon. Best of luck to you all

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

Lewis, you've been chosen. Come down and play.

Welcome to the show. It's you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

The good news is nobody's won the last six games.

The prize fund currently stands at £7,000.

So, what would you spend £7,000 on?

Having just been a student, I'm not flushed with money at the moment.

So generally, a nice cash flow would be good

but also I need to learn to drive, so I'd take an intensive course

cos my sister recently passed, so it's just me left in the family now.

So I should do that, really.

Good luck in trying to win that. Three rounds and a final to come.

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

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

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Let's get started. Let's play Perfection.

Round One. Your 45 seconds starts now.

No. Halloumi is Greek or Cypriot, but definitely not Indian.

So false.

Ooh, he's definitely in them.

Yeah, I'll go true for that one.

Oh, God. I should know this.

Um, I think it was earlier.

False for that one.

Um. I can't say I've heard of that one.

-Short of time.

-False as well, please, I think.

I didn't want to hurry you. Time was ticking away. Just to make sure.

You've answered all four statements within the time.

-Good round?

-Confident on the first two.

Second two, not too sure. Especially D.

-Not a clue.

-Before we reveal how well you've done,

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements, with Lewis's answers.

Rachael, what do you make of those? Is it perfection?

I think I'd be changing D to true.

I've heard somewhere that expression.

I'm not big on fashion, but I think so.

Jon, what do you think? Is he right?

I agree with Rachael.

Oxford bags are a type of trouser.

Lewis, the moment of truth. You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four is a good score, but not good enough.

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

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

You need to change just one. But which one?

-Are you both certain on the Oxford trousers, cos I don't know that.

-Yeah.

-Yes.

OK. We'll change D from false to true, please.

D changes from false to true

leaving A, B and C as answered by Lewis.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

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

It's believed to have originated in the eastern Mediterranean.

It was established in 1949.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You've achieved perfection.

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

Usual Suspects, you can now make Lewis's chances of winning the prize fund much harder in the final.

Here's how. Lewis, this is your final board.

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

Here they are.

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you,

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

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

-Mah-Jong.

-Mah-Jong.

-OK.

Can we move Mah-Jong over, please?

Mah-Jong moves across.

Being a man, do you think he'd know about the Suffragettes movement?

-Suffragettes. Give it a go.

-Yeah? OK.

Suffragettes as well, please, Nick.

Well done, Usual Suspects, you've won the first round.

Time to switch you off, but we'll see you in Round Two.

-Mah-Jong?

-That's not great. I don't know much about it at all.

-Suffragettes?

-Not too bad. I probably would have picked that. I'm happy with that one.

Looking at those categories on offer,

which two will you choose if you get the opportunity?

Phrases isn't too bad. London Eye.

Egypt, maybe.

And ones you're desperate to avoid?

Horoscopes, silent films.

Lewis, you still have two more rounds to find perfection and choose your own categories for the final.

-So if you're ready?

-Yep.

-Let's play Round Two.

Your 45 seconds start now.

Can't say I've heard of that one. Sounds right sort of area.

I'll go for true.

Not a clue.

No. False, I think.

Definitely all Swedish.

I think we'll go true on that one.

I think I've heard of that. True as well.

With time to spare, you've answered all four statements. Happy with that?

-I'm...

-No?

-I'm not sure on any of them, to be honest.

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

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements with Lewis's answers.

Jon, has he achieved perfection?

I think he may have perfection. I'm not too sure about A.

But the other three I think are correct.

-Cheryl, what do you make of those?

-I think he's got perfection there.

The moment of truth. Let's find out how many are correct.

Just two out of four, in actual fact.

In a 50/50 game, that's not a great score, to be fair.

-No.

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

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round? You need to change two of Lewis's answers.

ABBA were a Swedish group,

but were they all actually born, or was someone born in Finland, or...

I thought they were all Swedish.

I think they are. I think the aye-aye,

I think it's native to Madagascar

and it's only found there.

It has very big eyes, so I think it is nocturnal.

-I think that's definitely true.

-So A and B?

-So A and B we're going for?

-Yep.

-Yeah.

Can we change A from true to false, please?

A from true to false.

-And B from false to true.

-And B from false to true.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

It's between the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf.

That's false, Usual Suspects.

So I'm afraid you've failed to achieve perfection

and you haven't stolen the round.

Can you still achieve perfection at home? Let's go through the rest of the statements.

Fanny Dashwood is in Sense and Sensibility,

in actual fact. "All members of ABBA were born in Sweden." True or false?

That's false, in actual fact.

Anni-Frid was born in Norway.

You talked about the possibility of one of them being born somewhere else. You're right.

Quite right, Cheryl, Madagascar. Well done.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection, you'd now have the opportunity

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

Let's see the final board.

Two categories chosen already by the Usual Suspects.

But Lewis, because neither side won the round, the two categories will be carried over to the next round

meaning four categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, we'll see you in Round Three.

Lewis, with four categories on offer, the next round could prove crucial.

-It's a good one to win.

-Pressure's on.

-Ready?

-Yep.

Let's play Round Three.

Your 45 seconds start now.

Yeah, I think that's right. True.

No. Trent's in Nottingham. False.

Um. I always get this confused with another one.

Borscht. I think that's right. True.

There Will Be Blood. No.

I think that's about the oil industry or... Not vampires. False.

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

That felt like a strong round?

I wasn't too bad about that one. I think it's gone all right.

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

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements with Lewis's answers.

Rachael, what do you make of them?

Has he achieved perfection?

Yes, Nick, I think he's got perfection on that round.

Cheryl, can you see anything wrong?

I'm not sure about C, but I think the others are correct.

Lewis, they seem reasonably confident you've done well.

The moment of truth. You need to have answered all four perfectly.

Let's see how many are correct.

Congratulations, Lewis, you've achieved perfection!

Very well done. You felt it was a good round, didn't you?

-That's a relief.

-Well done. Let's go through them in more detail.

-..because it flows...

-Nottingham.

-Through Nottingham.

You said that was false because it was to do with the oil industry.

And it's about a gold miner who strikes oil in one of his mines.

So you were absolutely right on all counts. That's a cracking round.

As a result of that fantastic round, Lewis,

you've made winning the prize fund a lot easier. Let's see your final board.

There are two categories chosen by the Usual Suspects.

But because you won that round,

you have the right to add the next four categories to the board.

Two from this round and two that rolled over from the round previous.

So choose away!

Um, I think we'll have the London Eye.

Egypt.

Phrases.

I'm not too sure about this last one.

I think we'll go with Roman names.

Roman names. We now know our final six categories.

Time to switch off our Usual Suspects for the last time.

-Having chosen four of the six categories, you're in with a chance here.

-Hopefully, yes!

Lewis, for £7,000, it's time to play the final.

Lewis, the all-important final. If you can achieve perfection, you could leave with £7,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing,

which would be great news for the Usual Suspects,

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £8,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

Lewis, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six correctly if you want to win the £7,000.

There's no time limit, but once you've given an answer, it's locked in. Are you ready?

-Yep.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

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

Mah-Jong.

Oh, dear!

It's definitely played with tiles. I know that much.

How many, I don't know.

I wouldn't be surprised if it's more or less unlimited, like dominoes.

I think we'll go true. I've changed my mind.

True. Suffragettes.

I think that rings a slight bell.

Emily Davison.

The name rings a bell. I really can't place her.

Emily Davison.

I think we'll go true as well.

That seems to ring true.

That's the two categories chosen by the Usual Suspects out the way.

Now you're onto the ones chosen by you.

No. I'm pretty sure it was later than that.

I went on it relatively soon after it opened.

I think it was around Millennium time, if not the Millennium year.

So definitely false.

I'm trying to picture it now from my primary school days.

I can't quite remember the face. The body of a lion sounds right.

But in my head, it's also got the face of a lion.

Which I'm not sure is right.

Sphinx at Giza.

I think we'll go for true.

Phrases.

No, never heard of that one.

Adam's ale.

I think I'll go for true as well.

-Yep. True.

-True. And finally, Roman names.

Oh, dear. Another one I don't know.

It sounds like a Roman name, and Hibernians play in Scotland.

It might be for Edinburgh maybe, not just Scotland.

I'll go for true as well.

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

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

-Which ones are you unsure of?

-That really wasn't great.

I'm pretty sure on C.

E and F, I don't know.

I wouldn't be surprised if any of them are wrong, to be honest.

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

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

with Lewis's answers.

Lewis, 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.

Who would you like to hear from first?

I'll go straight to Jon, I think.

I'm fairly certain you've got one, possibly two, wrong.

How many do you think you've got right?

I'm pretty sure on five.

One, I'm not really sure.

-OK.

-Can I tempt you down at all?

-Have a word with the ladies and let me have a think.

-OK.

-Rachael?

-There's one I don't feel 100% confident on either way.

So I think I'll count myself out this time, thanks, Lewis.

-Cheryl?

-I think you've got one wrong, and you're quite certain on five.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy with five.

-Right. OK.

-Does that mean you're considering coming down, Cheryl?

How much would you require to get you down here?

I'd say four. 4,000.

OK. Cheryl would like 4,000 of your £7,000 to come down and help you.

Remember, you don't have to take the Usual Suspects' advice.

-Yeah. Can we go back to Jon?

-Yeah.

If you wanted me to come down, I'll take five.

-Five?

-5,000.

That's quite a lot. Only two for me.

Can we push you down a bit more?

Three and a half each. That's a good amount of money.

It's a nice amount of money,

but, not, I will back out.

-I'll say no, thank you.

-Sure? Even four?

-No, I will drop...

-Last option. Four and a half.

Oh, yay-yay-yay!

That's two and a half to me, you've got nearly double me.

-OK, yes I'll do it.

-OK.

-4,500.

-You're overlooking Cheryl and sticking and making the deal with Jon, are you?

-Yes?

-Yep, go with Jon.

OK. Thank you very much. Negotiations are at a close.

Jon, for £4,500 of the £7,000 on offer,

please come and play perfection.

Lewis, you've asked Jon to help you achieve perfection.

It will cost you £4,500 of your potential prize fund of £7,000.

Jon, you've forfeited your chance to play in the next game.

This is your only shot at winning Perfection.

Have you made the right decision? We're about to find out.

Here are the final round statements.

All six answers are now unlocked.

Remember, Lewis, you don't have to take the Usual Suspect's advice.

Jon, which answers do you want Lewis to change?

I think A is the one that I would choose to change.

-What do you think?

-I used to play this a lot.

-Is it like an unlimited sort of thing?

-No, it's not unlimited.

-I have a feeling there are about 80 tiles to 100 tiles.

-OK.

So that's the one I would choose.

Fine, I didn't really know that.

The only other one I wasn't sure about was B.

I know she's a poet.

Yeah. I knew the name but I don't know if she was in the movement or...

How about C, D, E and F?

C, D, E and F, I agree with you totally.

-And E and F?

-Adam's ale is water, yes. Hibernia, I'm fairly certain is...

It's not Ireland, is it?

-I honestly don't know.

-Hibernia.

No, Hibs is the Scottish football team.

-Hibernian.

-But they play in green.

-Scottish, Irish, quite a lot of links.

-No. I think Hibernia is Scotland.

-OK.

-What about B?

-Your gut feeling was...

-True, obviously.

-My gut feeling was true because I knew the name and I thought it was the right era.

But if it was a writer in that era, that would also ring true.

So I really don't know.

So I would actually say that's false.

-So if we change A and B?

-A and B, yes.

OK. Nick, we'd like to change A to false and B to false.

A changes from true to false.

And B changes from true to false.

Leaving C, D, E and F as originally answered by Lewis.

Your answers are now locked in.

£7,000 at stake. £2,500 to Lewis

£4,500 to Jon.

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

Those first two are the interesting ones,

maybe because they're the two that you changed.

So let's skip over those for the moment and start at C.

"The London Eye opened to the public in 1995."

Lewis said this was false.

Jon was quite happy to go along with you on that.

So we need this to turn red to get you off to a good start. True or false?

It officially opened to the public in March 2000,

slightly after the Millennium celebrations, actually.

The Sphinx at Giza has the body of a lion. Lewis, you said this was true.

You asked Jon to confirm it, he was happy to do that.

So you need this to turn green to get you a third of the way to the cash.

So we move on to E.

Lewis, you didn't know either way, it was a guess.

However, Jon was happy to confirm that he knew this to be true.

So you kept it as true.

If this turns green, you're half-way to the £7,000.

If it turns red, you've blown it at this stage and the money rolls over for the Usual Suspects.

It's true. Very good.

£7,000 at stake here. £4,500 to Jon,

the lion's share, to be fair.

£2,500 to Lewis.

You're half-way towards the money.

Lewis, you thought this was true.

Jon came down and thought it was true.

You toyed with the fact it might be something to do with Ireland.

But in the end, you were comfortable with it being true.

So, if it is, it should turn green.

It's false!

-Sorry.

-It's all right.

-It's false.

I'm afraid you have not achieved perfection and you will not be going home with the money.

Can you achieve perfection at home?

Let's clear that one up for a start.

-Where is it?

-Ireland.

-It's Ireland.

You talked about it between you and then let it go.

Extraordinarily.

Let's go up to the top one.

When you said you knew five out of six,

Jon came down on the basis that the one he might help you out with was Mah-Jong.

"Typically played using 64 tiles."

You came down and changed the answer from true to false.

Is it true or false?

Yes, it is false. Absolutely right.

So a set contains 144 tiles, actually.

A lot of tiles.

The other one Jon helped you to change was the next one.

"Emily Davison was a well-known suffragette."

You had this as true. Jon was able to help you with the fact she was a poet and you should change it.

So, is it true or false?

It's actually true!

She's the lady who died after stepping into the path of the king's horse.

-Oh!

-At the Epsom Derby.

-Yes!

-Remember her.

-Yep.

So, had you just listened to Jon when he came down to help you,

the changing of one was a good thing.

The changing of a second would have lost you the game anyway.

Between you, it was a joint effort to win,

and a joint effort in the end to lose, as well!

Usual Suspects, it'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 £8,000.

They're looking very happy about that.

Lewis and Jon, you failed to achieve perfection, which means you go home with nothing,

but thanks for playing such an interesting game, Jon and Lewis.

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

when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play for £8,000.

But it's a tough one to win, this.

Remember, on this show, we only pay for perfection. Goodbye!
