Episode 46 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 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", you'd be right.

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

but if the contestant gets an answer wrong,

the Usual Suspects are allowed into the game to capitalise on their mistakes.

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

Hi, my name's Jan.

I come from West Wickham in Kent,

I'm a retired civil servant and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm April, I'm from London and I'm a student.

This is my second game.

Hi, my name's Russell, I'm from East London, I'm a part-time lorry driver and this is my second game.

Hi, my name's Cheryl, I live in Stockport, I work in manufacturing and this is my 13th game.

Welcome to you all, especially to Jan in her first game,

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

Cheryl, it's you. Please come and join us.

-Welcome to the game.

-Thank you very much.

-Let's find out more about you.

You collect something or you have a slight obsession with something?

-Yes, trainers.

-How many pairs do you have?

-I wouldn't like to say.

-But I live in a three-bedroomed house and one big bedroom is dedicated to trainers.

-Entirely?

-Pretty much.

When you put on or lose weight, your feet never change. It's one thing that always stays the same.

Give us a ballpark figure of how many pairs you've got.

-Maybe about 37? Maybe, possibly?

-37 pairs?

-Do you wear them all?

-Yeah, I like to swap and change.

I like to have a different pair of shoes, trainers for different outfits.

-Are there any trainers you love so much that you won't wear in case you get them dirty?

-Yeah.

I walk on eggshells and my friends go, "She's got new trainers on again!" So I walk like a penguin.

I don't want to make them look dirty or creased.

-It is borderline obsessive.

-Very strange, but interesting.

It's now you versus the Usual Suspects. Their job is to stop you from winning the prize fund.

Your failure means the money rolls over to the next game where one of them could play for a bigger total.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Unfortunately for you, the previous game was won,

so the prize fund is re-set to £1,000.

Surely, £1,000 is a few pairs of trainers?

-A couple, yeah.

-Is that what it will be spent on?

-Probably not, but I'll try.

-Anything in particular you want to spend it on?

-I'd like to go to New York and get married,

but my car's in for its MOT today, so it'll possibly go on that.

Probably on that and a couple of pairs of trainers.

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

If your performance isn't perfect, the Usual Suspects can steal the round,

-making the final much harder.

-Yeah.

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

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

-You'll only have 45 seconds, but once you've given your first answer, it will be locked in. OK?

-Yeah.

Good. Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1. Your 45 seconds starts now.

-False. I don't think he won.

-False.

-I've not read it, so I'm just going to say "false".

-False.

-I think it might be, so I'll say "true" for that.

-True. And finally...

-I'm going to say "false".

-False.

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

-Just went with the gut feeling?

-Straight in, yeah.

-It's time to bring back the Usual Suspects. They can now hear you.

-Yeah.

These were the four statements and Cheryl's answers. Russell, has she achieved perfection?

-I don't think so. I think B's wrong. I think that's true.

-OK. April, what do you make of those answers?

I think she has got perfection.

-Jan, can you see anything wrong with the answers?

-I'm not sure about "A",

but if "A" is right, it would be perfection.

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

Congratulations, Cheryl, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

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

"Uri Geller won I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here."

You said that was false and, of course, it is false.

He was the first contestant to be evicted on the first series.

"Humbert Humbert is a character in Catch-22."

You said that was false and, of course, it is false.

He's a character in Lolita.

"The River Limpopo is in Africa." Is that true or false?

We know that to be true. It's in Botswana and a couple of other countries, but definitely in Africa.

"Lord Kitchener was Prime Minister during World War I." True or false?

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

He was Secretary of State for War.

Asquith and Lloyd George were the Prime Ministers during World War I.

Very well done. Cheryl, you've made winning the prize fund a lot easier. Here's how.

This is your final board. These six blank spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are your final round categories, starting with D-Day,

running through Japanese, Spacecraft and on to Paella with many more in between.

As you won the round, you choose two categories to add to the board.

If the Usual Suspects had won the round, they'd choose two categories.

-So which two would you like?

-Can I choose The Beatles?

-The Beatles goes into the final. And...?

-The Oscars.

-And the Oscars.

Usual Suspects, you didn't get a look in. We'll see you in Round 2. We'll switch you off. Cheerio.

And away they go. With the Usual Suspects unable to hear you, which two are you desperate to avoid?

TT Races. I'm not really sure about motorbikes.

And probably...

Well, maybe Paella.

You've done a great job. That's the way to play it and choose your own categories. Let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-I'm not sure that's true, so I'm going to say that's false.

-False.

I'm going to trip myself up now. No, I think it's in Italy.

-So you're saying...?

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

-False.

-False.

-False. And finally...

-That's false. It's in New York, I think.

-False.

-And with time to spare, you've answered all four. That didn't seem such a comfortable round.

-No.

I'm usually quite good on football. The San Siro threw me, I was just a bit muddled.

Something's niggling me it's Italy.

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 Cheryl's answers.

-April, what do you make of those?

-I think A and C might be wrong.

-I think they could both be true.

-Jan, do you agree with April?

I know that C is true. I know a balalaika is a stringed musical instrument.

And I think "A" may be true as well, so I agree with April.

Russell, what do you think? Has she achieved perfection?

All I know is balalaika is a musical instrument.

Cheryl, they don't think you've done very well this time. Let's find out how many are correct.

Yeah, two out of four isn't perfection.

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

-The San Siro's in Italy.

-Yeah.

-Hang on, wait for it. Easy!

-Sorry.

You can see Cheryl's answers. You need to change two of them. Which two will you change?

-A?

-A and C, yes.

-A and C.

-We'll change "A" to "true".

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

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

-C changes from "false" to "true", leaving B and D as Cheryl answered.

Let's find out the correct answers.

"Nigiri is a type of sushi." Is that true or false?

Yes, it is true.

"The San Siro stadium is in Barcelona." Is that true or false?

That's false.

It's in Milan, exactly as you said. You know your football and it was in Italy.

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

That's true. You know where this is going now, Usual Suspects.

"The film Ghostbusters is set in Los Angeles." True or false?

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

APPLAUSE

Ghostbusters is set in New York City, as you said, Cheryl.

The Usual Suspects have stolen the round and have the opportunity to make Cheryl's chances

of winning the prize fund of £1,000 much harder.

Let's look at the final board. On there are two categories chosen by Cheryl, but, Usual Suspects,

because you won the round, you've earned the right to choose the next two categories.

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

-What do you reckon?

-Japanese because she got the Japanese question wrong.

-Yeah.

-Or D-Day?

-Spacecraft?

-Spacecraft?

-Yeah.

-Japanese and Spacecraft?

-Why not?

We'll have Japanese, please, Nick.

-Japanese goes into the final.

-And Spacecraft.

-And Spacecraft. Thank you, Usual Suspects.

You've won the second round. Well done. Time to switch you off. And away they go.

What do you make of those two? Japanese?

Are there words for this? LAUGHTER

-Spacecraft?

-It depends what it is. If it's something quite recent...

They've been doing the Mars landing, so it's possible.

-One more chance to find perfection and choose categories for the final. Ready?

-Yeah.

-Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-False.

-False.

I'm a bit unsure about that one.

-I'm going to say that is true.

-True.

-That's false. I think he's in The Vicar Of Dibley.

-False. Finally...

-I think that's false. I think it's bamboo.

-False.

As a result of that answer, you've completed the board.

-How was that?

-Kind of half and half. C and D are possibly right.

-I'm a bit unsure of A and B.

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

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

Jan, has she achieved perfection?

No, I'm afraid she hasn't. I know B should be false.

-And I think that A is true.

-April, what do you think of those answers?

I don't think she's got perfection. I think B and C are wrong.

-Russell?

-I'd say just B's false.

-OK, Cheryl, the Usual Suspects think you haven't achieved perfection.

But let's find out for sure how many are correct.

Three out of four is a good score, but it isn't perfection.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round? You can see Cheryl's answers. You need to change just one.

-Which one?

-It must be B.

-B.

-It's B.

-Yeah.

-We'll change B from "true" to "false".

B changes from "true" to "false", leaving A, C and D as they are.

Let's find out the correct answers.

"Venezuela has a coast on the Pacific Ocean." True or false?

Yes, that is false.

It has Atlantic and Caribbean coasts.

"The Terracotta Army sculptures are in India." True or false?

Yeah, that's false. They're in China, of course.

You know where this is going now.

"Jim Trott is a character in The Archers." True or false?

It's false. He is a character in The Vicar Of Dibley as you said.

"The giant panda feeds mainly on eucalyptus leaves." Is that true or false?

It's false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

Let's clear that up.

The giant panda feeds mainly on bamboo, of course.

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

Usual Suspects, you can now make Cheryl's chances of winning the prize fund a lot harder.

Let's have a look at the final board.

The board features two chosen by you, Cheryl, and two by the Usual Suspects,

but because you won that round, Usual Suspects, you choose the last two in the final. What will it be?

I think the Silk Road because she didn't know about China and the Terracotta Army.

-What about TT Races?

-TT Races?

D-Day?

-D-Day.

-D-Day, I think.

-Yeah, OK.

-D-Day, please, Nick.

-D-Day goes into the final.

-And the Silk Road, please.

-And the Silk Road goes into the final.

We now know our six final categories.

OK, time to switch you off for the final time and away they go.

-What do you make of those last two?

-D-Day's not a good one for me.

I was hoping the Silk Road might be something to do with Macclesfield. My other half's from Macclesfield.

All right, Cheryl, for £1,000, it's time to play the final.

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

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

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £2,000 on the next game. Let's play the final round.

Cheryl, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £1,000. Think carefully. There's no time limit.

-Once you've given your answer, it is locked in. Ready?

-Yeah.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

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

The Beatles...

Hmm...

I'm trying to fast-forward through the film in my head.

I don't think it's the right film.

I think it might be Yellow Submarine that they're in.

-So I think, because it's not really coming to me, I'll have to go "false" on that one.

-False.

Oscars...

I think possibly he won one for The Talented Mr Ripley.

I don't think he won anything for The Bournes, though they've been popular.

-I think I'll have to say "true". I think he did get one for The Talented Mr Ripley.

-True.

Japanese...

I think I've heard that after buying a bonsai tree for my mum,

-so I'll say that's going to be true.

-True.

Spacecraft...

I don't believe that is correct.

I think it was Messiah possibly?

-So I'm going to say "false" for that, please.

-False.

D-Day...

I think it's going to have to be a guess. I really don't know that.

So, I'm...

No, nothing's coming to me, so I'm going to say that is...true.

True. And finally, Silk Road...

Again, another guess

because I've never heard of it.

No, never heard of it. It's going to be a complete guess.

-I'm going to say "false".

-False.

And those answers are now locked in. If there's one mistake, you leave with nothing.

-Which ones are you unsure of?

-Most of them, to be honest.

-Tough round?

-Yeah, it was tough.

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

You can now see the final six statements and Cheryl's answers.

Cheryl, your answers are locked in,

but you can, if you think you've made a mistake, change them with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will, however, come at a cost. Usual Suspects,

tell me how well you think Cheryl has done, if you want to help

and if you do, how much it will cost.

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

-I'll speak to Russell.

I definitely know she's got one wrong and I'm not too sure...

No, I'm pretty sure she's got two wrong, as it goes.

-Does that mean you'd like to come down and help?

-No.

-Because...?

-Not enough money.

-That's fairly straightforward. He'd quite like the money to roll over. Somebody else?

Yeah, can I speak to April, please?

I think you've got two wrong, but I'm not sure on the others. I don't think I could help you.

-No worries.

-Even if you wanted to?

-Even if I wanted to.

-Yeah.

-I think it's a common occurrence, really.

-I think it's going to be.

-Jan, any thoughts?

Sorry, Cheryl, but my reply's going to be the same. I'm certain you've got two wrong.

There's one I'm not sure about, but for £1,000, I'm not going to risk it.

-Not a problem.

-They won't get out of bed for less than £1,000. Interesting.

You were sure this was how it would go. It doesn't mean you've got any wrong. They might be wrong.

As none of our Usual Suspects are willing to help, you're on your own. £1,000 at stake, six answers away.

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

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

-Remind us again, what's the money going to be for if you win the £1,000?

-Trainers.

Not towards the wedding?

-Well, yeah, possibly.

-Possibly, but probably not, to be honest.

Let's start at the top with the first two categories you chose for yourself.

"The Blue Meanies star in the film Help!"

After playing the whole film through in your head, you couldn't find them, so you went for "false".

If this turns red, you've made a good start.

If it turns green, you've fallen at the first hurdle. True or false?

It is false. Very well done.

APPLAUSE

They were the villains in Yellow Submarine. You were absolutely right, so good knowledge there.

"Matt Damon has won an Oscar." You said this was true, he might have won one for...?

-The Talented Mr Ripley.

-Let's take a look, shall we?

You need this to turn green to get you a third of the way towards the £1,000.

"Matt Damon has won an Oscar." Is that true or false?

It is true. Very good.

APPLAUSE

-He actually won an Oscar for co-writing Good Will Hunting with Ben Affleck.

-Right.

So we move on to "bonsai". The word "bonsai" literally means "tiny tree".

We're now into the subjects chosen for you by the Usual Suspects.

You bought a bonsai tree for your mum and you vaguely remember it as a tiny tree, so you went with "true".

You need this to turn green. If it does, you're halfway to the cash.

"The word 'bonsai' literally means 'tiny tree'." Is that true or false?

I'm afraid that's false, which means you haven't achieved perfection

and you won't be taking home the £1,000. You'll have to scrape by with the 39 pairs you have already.

Can you achieve perfection at home? Let's look at the statements and clear up the one we just dealt with.

"Bonsai" is actually the combination of two words. "Bon" means "tray", "sai" means "to plant",

so it really means "to plant on a tray".

"Voyager 1 was the first craft to land on Mars." You had a think about this and said it was false

because you thought it might be called Messiah.

-It doesn't make much difference now, but it's nice to get as many right as possible.

-Yeah.

True or false? Yeah, it is false. Well done.

Voyager observed Jupiter and Saturn as it went past, but didn't land.

It's just recently that they've landed a craft on Mars.

The D-Day landings were known as Operation Sea Lion.

You thought this might be true. Is it true or false?

I'm afraid that one is false. It was Operation Neptune.

-Sea Lion was actually the German operation.

-Someone's operation!

-Just not ours, yeah.

Samarkand is a historic city in Iraq. You said,

"I hope it's to do with Macclesfield." Why?

It's called the Silk Road because of silk cotton mills.

It turned out not to be Macclesfield. It was Samarkand.

Is it true or false?

Yes, it is false, in actual fact.

It's in Uzbekistan.

So where did we end up? Four out of six isn't bad,

given four out of six were chosen by the Usual Suspects.

That's great news for you. The prize fund rolls over

and one of you could be playing for £2,000. You could look happy about it! That's good news.

Cheryl, you go home with nothing other than our thanks for being a great Usual Suspect

and for coming so close. You fought very hard and got a round completely correct.

Let's hear it for Cheryl!

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

New Usual Suspect, introduce yourself.

Hi, I'm Keith, I live in Ashford and I'm a hospital worker.

Welcome to you, Keith. Best of luck as we find out who's been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Russell, it's you! Please come and play.

Welcome to the show. You've done a bit of lorry driving. How long for?

-On and off, about 6 or 7 years now.

-Right.

-But you'd like to give it all up and just move away?

-Leave the rat race and just live on my own.

My own animals, my own land. Don't know nothing about it!

-Just a smallholding somewhere.

-Yeah.

-Grow your own fruit and veg.

-Fruit and veg, chickens, sheep, cows.

Any other ambitions you'd like to have a go at?

I'd like to have done the Ashes in Australia, the whole tournament, all the Tests, the one-dayers.

-Part of the Barmy Army.

-Yeah. I'd love to do it in Australia.

-That would be great.

Well, it's you versus the Usual Suspects. They were your teammates, they're now your enemies.

The good news is the prize fund currently stands at £2,000.

-Good luck, Russell.

-Thank you.

-Three rounds and a final.

Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off, but if Russell makes a mistake you'll be back in the game.

-Away they go. You can talk now without giving away vital knowledge. Are you ready?

-Yeah, fine.

Let's play Perfection.

Round 1. Your 45 seconds start now.

-I'm pretty sure that's true, as it goes.

-True.

-That's false. That was by The Bangles.

-False.

-Yeah.

-Don't know. I think he had a few children. I'll go true with that.

-True. And finally...

-I don't like tennis, but I think that's true.

-True.

And you've answered all four statements.

-Good round? Bad round?

-I think I might have A wrong. I think Sweden's higher than Norway.

OK, it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects. They can now hear you.

These were the four statements and Russell's answers. April, has he achieved perfection?

I don't think he has. I don't think Oliver Cromwell had nine children.

-Jan, what do you make of them?

-It's C that I'm not sure about.

-Keith?

-I think A and D are incorrect. I'd change A to false and D to false.

Interesting. Not much of a vote of confidence, but they may be wrong. Let's find out how many are correct.

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

You've let the Usual Suspects in.

-Can you steal the round? You only need to change one, but which one?

-I think C.

-C's the one I'm not sure of.

-Oliver Cromwell? OK, yeah.

-Can we change C from true to false?

-C changes, leaving A, B and D as answered by Russell.

Usual Suspects, let's find out what the correct answers are. Green is true, red is false.

Mainland Norway extends further north than Sweden. Is that true or false?

That's true. Manic Monday was a single by The Smiths. Was that true or false?

That is false, of course.

And it was by The Bangles.

Oliver Cromwell had nine children. Is that true or false?

That's true, I'm afraid, Usual Suspects.

You failed to achieve perfection or steal the round.

Can you still achieve perfection at home? Let's see the other answer.

Venus Williams won the 2012 Wimbledon singles title. Is that true or false?

It's false. That's the one you were looking for. It was her sister Serena who won.

Had you achieved perfection, you now could make Russell's chances much harder. Here's how.

Russell, here is your final board. The blank spaces need to be filled.

Here are the final round categories, starting with Sitcoms, ranging through Airports, Cities,

on through Sinatra to Germany, with many more in-between.

Because neither side won, the two categories due to be chosen will carry over to the next round

and four will be on offer. Usual Suspects, you had a chance. You didn't take it.

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

-Russell, let's talk about those categories. Which two will you choose if you get the chance?

-Two...

-I'll pick one - Sitcoms.

-Yeah.

-And I'll go...Cities as well.

-And Cities.

-Which two are you desperate to avoid?

-I could do without Dallas and I ain't got a clue about Wag-ner.

-OK.

-Or Vag-ner!

-"Vag-ner", yes.

In order to win the prize fund, you'll need all six correct. Winning this round could prove crucial.

-Yeah.

-All right. If you're ready, let's play Round 2.

Your 45 seconds start now.

I ain't got a clue.

-False.

-False.

Muscovy bear...Muscovy bear.

-True.

-True.

-False.

-False. And finally...

-True.

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

-You didn't look any happier.

-No. I didn't know none of them.

-A few guesses.

-More than a few, Nick. More than a few.

It's time to bring back the Usual Suspects. These were the four statements and Russell's answers.

-Jan, what do you think?

-I'd change A and D.

-Keith, is it a perfect round?

-I don't think so.

-I would change B from true to false.

-What do you think, April?

-I'd agree.

I'd change B.

Russell, they're not very confident. Let's find out how many are correct.

Just one out of four. That's not perfection. A long way from it.

Usual Suspects, you're back in the game. You need to change three answers. Which three will it be?

-Definitely B.

-To false.

-Which ones, Jan?

I think the sun is about 9 million miles from Earth. And I'm sure Frida Kahlo was born in Mexico.

-OK, so we'll change A, B and D?

-Yep.

-OK, Nick, we'll change A from false to true.

-A from false to true.

-B from true to false.

-B.

-And D from true to false.

And D from true to false, leaving C as answered by Russell.

Let's find out the correct answers.

The artist Frida Kahlo was born in Mexico. True or false?

Yeah, that's true. A Muscovy is a type of bear. Is that true or false?

It's false. It's a bird. You might have heard of Muscovy duck, actually.

Ludwig van Beethoven was born in the 18th century. True or false?

It's true, in actual fact!

That was the one. Usual Suspects, you failed to achieve perfection.

You had an opportunity, but spurned it again.

Can you still achieve it at home?

Let's see that last answer.

The sun is more than 10 million miles from Earth. True or false?

That's the one that's true.

So, Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection,

you'd now have the opportunity to make Russell's chances much harder.

Nothing on there at the moment. The four categories due to be chosen will carry over to the next round,

meaning six categories will be on offer in Round 3. Usual Suspects, we'll see you a little bit later.

And away they go. Russell, six categories. It's all on this round.

-It would be a great one to achieve perfection.

-Yeah, I need it.

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

Your 45 seconds start now.

-Don't know. True.

-True.

-Definitely false, that one.

-False.

-Aberdeen.

-False.

-False. And finally...

Horology. Something to do with clocks. I'll go with true with that.

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

-In with a chance?

-I'm a bit dubious about Harrison Ford at the moment.

-Horology is something to do with clocks.

-So you've got a chance.

-Half a chance, I suppose.

It's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements and Russell's answers.

It's a crucial one. How do you think he's done, Keith?

Well, Nick, I don't think he's got perfection. I would change B to true.

-And I would change C to true.

-Jan, what do you make of those answers?

I would agree about C. I'd change that to true.

-April, has he achieved perfection?

-I don't think so. I'm not sure about C or D.

OK, the moment of truth. You need all four correct to win the round.

Let's see how many are correct.

-Get in there!

-Congratulations! You have achieved perfection.

-Fantastic laugh, Russell!

-Thank you. I've got a Sid James laugh!

I did the radio once. They said, "Sid James!"

-Sorry.

-No, that's great. What a fantastic round.

Let's look in some more detail.

The Comoros Islands are in the Indian Ocean. You said true. We now know that it is true.

-Alex Ferguson joined Manchester Utd from Dundee. You said he joined from...

-Aberdeen.

-Aberdeen.

We now know it to be false for exactly those reasons.

The actor Harrison Ford was born in the 1950s. You said false and it is...

-1940s?

-1942.

Absolutely. And horology is the science of the measurement of time.

You said that was true. And we now know it is true.

Fantastic effort. Very well done. As a result, you've made winning the prize fund a lot easier.

Let's look at your final board. Empty, but you've earned the right to choose six categories -

two from the first round, two from the second. It's all yours.

-Fire away.

-Start off with Sitcoms.

Sitcoms goes in.

-Mr Men.

-Mr Men goes in.

-Cities.

-Cities.

-Food.

-Food.

-Airports.

-Airports.

-Will-o'-the-Wisp.

-Will-o'-the-Wisp goes in.

We now know our six final categories.

Time to switch off the Usual Suspects for the final time. Cheerio.

Russell, you've chosen them all. It's down to you now.

For £2,000, it's time to play the final.

This is the all-important final. You could leave with £2,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing which is great for the Usual Suspects, who could play for £3,000.

So let's play the final round.

Here are your final categories.

You must answer all six correctly if you want to win that £2,000.

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

-Yep.

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

-Yeah, definitely true. I know that one.

-True.

Mr Men.

Mr Bump...Mr Bump... Is he Mr Bump...?

I can picture him. Whether his name is Mr Bump or not, I don't know.

-I'll go true with that as well, as it goes.

-True.

Cities.

Don't know that one. I know Vladivostok's in Russia, as such.

-I'll go with Ukraine, yeah. True.

-True.

Food.

Kreplach...kreplach...

Never heard of it.

-True.

-True.

Airports.

-I'm going to say that's false. Don't know.

-False.

Will-o'-the-Wisp.

I thought it would be about the cartoon series! Er...

I'll say that's true as well.

True. And with that, Russell, those answers are locked in.

-Which ones are you unsure of?

-B to E, really.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-B to E. Tough round.

-And F as well. I forgot about F!

-Let me put it another way, which ones are you sure of?

-A.

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

You can now see the final six statements and Russell's answers.

Your answers are locked in, but if you think you made a mistake, you can unlock them,

-but this will come at a cost. Who would you like to hear first?

-April first, please.

You definitely haven't got perfection. How confident are you?

Er, I'm not really confident. About half confident.

-OK, I'd like to have a little think.

-OK, April.

-Jan?

I know you've got one wrong, but there are two where I'm really unsure so I wouldn't offer to help.

It wouldn't be fair.

-Keith?

-You've definitely got one wrong. Some of the others I'm not really 100% sure.

I don't think I would be able to come down and help you.

-The only person considering it is April.

-Russell, how many do you think you've got right?

-To be truthful, I think I've only got two right there. That's truthful for you.

-OK.

-In that case, I'm not willing to come down.

-You're right!

That's one of the most honest exchanges I've heard on here!

They aren't willing to come down, but you could have bluffed.

-You chose not to. Why?

-I don't want to take someone out of the game. Let them win some money.

That's nice, but you might be wrong.

Yeah, I might have one!

All right. You're on your own. £2,000 at stake. Six answers away. Have you achieved perfection?

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

We'll start at the top. Only Fools and Horses was created by John Sullivan.

-You said you were sure of A.

-Yeah!

-So this should turn green.

-I do hope so, Nick!

Is it true or false?

It is true. Very well done.

-A good start!

-I'm getting there.

-Only another five.

-Mr Bump is blue and wrapped in bandages. You thought that was probably true.

So you went with true. If this turns green, you're a third of the way to the money. True or false?

It's true!

Vladivostok is the capital of Ukraine.

-Do you know this?

-Not really. I know it's one of the old Communist countries. So it might be.

-Yeah, Vladivostok.

-You went for true.

If this is true and it turns green, you're halfway to the prize fund of £2,000.

Is it true or false?

-Ah.

-It's false, I'm afraid.

So you haven't achieved perfection and won't be taking home £2,000.

Can you still achieve perfection? Let's clear that up.

The capital of Ukraine is Kiev. Moving on, a kreplach is a filled dumpling. You said that was true.

Is it true or false?

-It is true, in actual fact.

-Not bad, was it?

You're doing very well. 3 out of 4 isn't bad considering you thought you were doing so badly.

Chek Lap Kok is an airport in Hong Kong. You said that was false.

Is it true or false?

That's actually true. And, finally, Will-o'-the Wisp is a variety of chrysanthemum.

-You hoped it was to do with the...

-Cartoon series.

-What is it in that?

I ain't got a clue. I hoped you'd ask who narrated it!

That's the only reason I went for it.

Will-o'-the-Wisp is a variety of chrysanthemum. You said true.

Yeah, I'm afraid that's false.

It's a flickering light hovering over marshland. Spontaneous combustion of gas.

-Oh, right.

-So that's great news for you, Usual Suspects. The prize fund rolls over

and one of you could be playing for a total of £3,000. April, I bet you're pleased you didn't come down.

-Yeah.

-He was quite nice, putting you off.

-He really was.

Russell, you failed to achieve perfection, but thanks for being a great sport. Hope you enjoyed it.

Let's hear it for Russell.

That's all we have time for. Next time our Usual Suspects play for £3,000,

but remember we only pay for perfection. Goodbye.
