Episode 47 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

because one single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Hello. Welcome to Perfection, the quiz 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 of them has been randomly selected to join me to play Perfection.

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

For example if I said...

..would you say that's true or false?

Well, if you'd said true,

I can tell you you'd be right.

Answering true or false might seem easy,

but if a contestant gets a single answer wrong,

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 Adam. I'm from Dartford. This is my first game.

Hi, I'm Keith. I'm from Ashford, Kent. I'm a hospital driver and this is my second game.

Hello, I'm Jan. I'm from Kent. I'm a retired civil servant and this is my third game.

Hi. I'm April. I'm from London. I'm a student and this is my fourth game.

Welcome to you all, especially Adam, who's playing his first game.

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

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

-Jan, welcome to the game.

-Thank you.

-Let's find out a bit about you. What's home life like?

I'm retired now, so I do some gardening, a lot of walking, and play Bridge.

-Yes, I understand you're a keen Bridge player.

-Yes.

You've taken it into the 21st century and made it very technical.

I've followed others into the 21st century.

I'm a member of a very small local club

and nobody else seemed willing to set up a website

or to work out how to use software to do the scoring and put that on the website.

So I taught myself how to do it

and now we've got a website and the scores go up that evening or soon after.

Very good. Very technical. Very good. Good for you.

-You must be very pleased with yourself for pulling that off.

-Quite proud, yes!

Absolutely. Jan, 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

because your failure will mean the money rolls over to the next game

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

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

The good news is nobody's won the last two games

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

APPLAUSE

So Jan, what would you spend the £3,000 on if you won it?

It's my 40th wedding anniversary this year

and the bank of Mum and Dad has been rather busy as well.

We weren't going to do anything, but if I won some money,

maybe we would do something special.

-Right. You have daughters, right?

-Yes, twin daughters.

-Twin. Right, double trouble!

-Yes!

OK. So something nice for you and your hubby to do. Anything in particular in mind?

Well, I'd quite like to go on a cruise.

I've got two places which are very different. The east coast of Canada or the Black Sea.

-Oh, I see. Well, both maybe... £3,000. Maybe not quite enough.

-No.

Well, you could get to choose at least one of them.

I could go on my own, perhaps, and leave the other half behind!

You can afford to go on your own!

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

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

However, if your performance is less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects will have a chance to step in and steal the round,

making the final harder. More of that later.

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

Jan, each round consists of four true or false statements.

You'll be answering against the clock, and only have 45 seconds.

-Once you've given an answer, your first answer, it's locked in. OK?

-Yes.

-Good. In which case, if you're ready...

-As ready as I'll ever be!

Then let's play Perfection.

Round One. Your 45 seconds start now.

I think that's true.

That's true.

Gosh, I used to play it, but not since I was 11!

True.

-Have you got a coin to toss?

-I don't!

-I'll say false.

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

That was feeling like a very good round up until the end there.

Well, I'm not so sure about A.

But better to make your mistakes rapidly, I think!

Rather than hang around!

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

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

April, has she achieved perfection?

I think she might have, but I think C may be false.

Keith, what do you make of those answers?

I don't think she's achieved perfection.

I would also change C to false.

Adam, what do you know about those?

I think A might be wrong. I don't think she's from Scotland.

So there are a few, according to the Usual Suspects, that may be wrong.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round.

Let's see how many are correct.

Oh, dear! It's not moving off of zero, Jan!

-Oh, no!

-That's not quite perfection!

In fact, it's about as opposite from perfection as you can get on this occasion.

If you'd got just one of the statements correct, the Usual Suspects would now have to find

the missing answers to win the round.

But, Usual Suspects, there's no point in asking you to change the answers

because we know all four are wrong.

So you automatically win the round.

Let's fill in the Usual Suspects' answers,

which are the exact opposite, obviously.

Usual Suspects, by default you have achieved perfection. Congratulations.

Let's go through those. "The singer Duffy comes from Scotland."

That's obviously false. She's actually from Wales.

"Lagos is the capital of Nigeria."

Abuja replaced Lagos as the official capital in 1991.

"There are always 11 players on a rounders team."

There are usually nine on a team.

"And the carambola is also known as the star fruit."

That actually is true.

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

in the final, and here's how.

Jan, this is your final board. These six spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Behind each category will be a true or false statement.

You'll need to answer correctly all six to win the prize fund.

Here are your final round categories appearing.

If you'd had won that round,

you'd have the opportunity of adding two categories of your choice to the board.

But because the Usual Suspects have automatically won the round,

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

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

-I'm thinking baseball.

-Yes, she didn't get rounders, so baseball.

-I don't think she'd know much about The Krays.

-The Krays.

-I'd go with The Krays as well.

-Yeah?

-Maybe.

-OK, Nick, we'd like to go with baseball.

-Baseball goes across.

-And The Krays.

-And The Krays.

Thank you, April. Thank you, Usual Suspects.

It's time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round Two.

-You made it a bit easy for them, there.

-I did, yes!

It happens that way, sometimes. Don't let it put you off too much.

If you had to pick two categories now, what would they be?

Queen Victoria and garments, I think.

And which two are you desperate to avoid?

-One of them is over there already, that's baseball.

-Really.

And radioactivity, I suppose.

Jan, that's the first round. You still have two more rounds to find perfection.

Let's play Round Two.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

That's false.

I thought hussars were Russian.

So I'll say false.

I haven't heard of them.

I think I'll say false.

That's something in a car. I'm not quite sure what, but it's in a car.

Not a light bulb. So that's false.

Thank you very much. With that, you've answered all four statements.

-Better?

-A little bit better.

I'm not sure about B and C.

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

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

Keith, do you think she's achieved perfection?

Yes, I possibly think she has, actually.

Adam, can you see anything wrong with those answers?

No, I wouldn't argue with any of her answers at all.

-So maybe.

-April, any mistakes there?

I think D is true.

All right, then. The moment of truth, Jan.

Let's find out how many you have correct.

Just two out of four.

So, not perfection. Better than last time, but not perfection. You're in the right direction.

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

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

-What do you think?

-A and D are correct.

-D is correct?

-Yes, a catalytic converter's in a car.

-B and C, I'd go for.

-B and C.

-We'll go with that.

Nick, can we change B from false to true.

-B from false to true.

-And C from false to true.

-C from false to true.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

"The Maze Prison is in Dublin." True or false?

It's in Belfast. "A hussar was originally a Hungarian cavalryman."

"The Rutshire Chronicles are novels by Jilly Cooper." True or false?

You know where this is going. "A catalytic converter is a low-energy light bulb."

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

A catalytic converter is connected to an engine to reduce exhaust fumes.

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

Least they had to do some work themselves, this time!

Let's see the final board.

Usual Suspects, you got to choose the first two categories, and now the next two as well.

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

-What do you think, guys?

-TV detectives.

-Maybe Houdini or radioactivity.

-Yeah, I think radioactivity.

-Yeah.

-Very good. Yep.

We'll go with TV detectives.

-And radioactivity.

-Radioactivity.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you've won the second round as well.

Time to switch you off. See you in Round Three.

-Radioactivity, you didn't fancy, did you?

-No.

-TV detectives?

-Depends which one.

-You watch a few shows?

-Yes.

-So you're in with a chance there.

OK. Well, you're heading in the right direction.

Zero, first round. Two. The obvious conclusion in that progression

is that this will be a perfect round.

It was the two I was unsure of that were wrong, so...

-Ready to play the next round?

-Yes.

-Let's play Round Three.

Your 45 seconds start now.

No, it's a DeLorean, I think. So it's false.

It's celery... Yes, I think that's true.

Ooh.

Um...

I think that's true.

No, I'm sure that's false.

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

That felt a very confident round.

Might have sounded confident, but the last two... I know that A is right.

-There you go.

-But I'm not sure about C and D.

You sounded confident, even if you weren't. But let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Adam, what do you think of those answers?

I think she's got perfection. She's done well.

-Keith, what do you think?

-Yes, I think she's done very well.

I think she's got perfection.

-April, do you agree?

-Yeah, I agree.

-I think she has got perfection.

-Vote of confidence from the Usual Suspects.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

Congratulations, Jan, you have achieved perfection!

It often goes that way. You have one bad round followed by a really good one.

Let's look through those statements and answers in a bit more detail.

As you said, it was a DeLorean. Absolutely right.

"A classic Waldorf salad contains walnuts."

"The source of the River Danube is in Belgium."

You said that was false. It is false.

It's in the Black Forest of Germany, its source.

As a result of that perfect performance, you've made winning the prize fund a bit easier.

Let's look at the final board. Four categories on there chosen by the Usual Suspects.

But because you won that last round, you get to choose the last two.

Which two would you like from that list?

I think Garments and Queen Victoria, please.

So we now know our final six categories. They are...

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

Jan, for £3,000, it's time to play the final.

Jan, if you can achieve perfection, you could leave with a prize fund of £3,000.

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

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

Let's play the final.

Jan, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six 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, it's locked in.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

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

Baseball.

Oh, dear!

I haven't the faintest idea.

I have at least heard of Babe Ruth.

But I've never heard of that expression.

I'll say false.

The Krays.

They did have a brother.

But was he called John?

I think that's also false.

Ironside.

Yes, I think that's true.

Oh, well, yes I know that is true.

Now to the two that you chose for yourself.

Garments.

Ooh, gosh.

I've heard of a stola.

And I can't think...what it was.

I've been to Hadrian's Wall,

and gone to the forts there and looked in the museums.

But I don't think it was a long robe for women.

I'll say false.

Her immediate successor was Edward VII.

It wasn't George V. So I'll say that's false.

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

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

A and B and E.

A, B and E are ones you're worried about.

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, Jan's answers.

Jan, your answers are locked in and you can't change them.

But you can unlock the board with the help of one of the Usual Suspects.

This will, however, come at a cost.

Usual Suspects, tell me how well you think Jan has done

and if you want to help, and if so, how much will it cost her.

-Jan, who would you like to hear from?

-April, first, please.

I don't think you have perfection. However, I'm not sure, so I don't think I can help you.

-Keith?

-There is a couple there that I think are wrong.

But I'm not really sure on one of the others.

So I've decided I don't want to come down and help you, I'm afraid.

-OK. Thank you. Adam?

-I agree with these guys. You've definitely got a couple wrong.

-How much would you be willing to split with me?

-Half and half.

So £1,500 each is what you're saying.

Adam, what do you think?

Jan, are you sure on one question or more than one?

I'm unsure on one, yes.

I'm not sure on any of them, so I can't help you. Sorry, Jan!

I'd love to help you, but I really can't. Sorry.

-You're withdrawing?

-Sorry, yes.

Withdrawing cos you don't know them, or cos you'd like the money to roll over?

Bit of both, to be honest!

He knows what's going on there as well.

OK. None of the Usual Suspects are willing to help you.

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

Where do you want to start? Top or bottom?

Let's start with the ones I was really unsure of. Start at the top.

Start at the top. "Babe Ruth was known as The Sultan of Swat."

You admitted you didn't know about baseball, which is why the Usual Suspects chose it for you.

You had to take a guess on this one.

You chose false.

You need this to turn red to get you off to a good start.

So is it true, or is it false?

-At least that gets it out of the way!

-Exactly!

It kind of does, really. It means you haven't achieved perfection,

so you won't take home the cash.

Can you achieve perfection at home. Let's go through the answers and see if you can.

You said that was false. We want this to turn red.

They had an older brother called Charlie.

That's right, yes.

We'd like this to turn green.

Two out of three so far. That's not bad, is it?

Three out of four.

You chose this category yourself. You said it was false.

You seemed to have a memory of this. True or false?

I'm afraid that one's true, in actual fact.

It was the female equivalent of a toga.

And finally, your other category you chose yourself,

Queen Victoria's immediate successor was George V.

Yes, of course that is absolutely false.

Edward VII, as you said.

It's a tough one, but you got one, two, three, four out of six

which isn't bad, given that they chose four of the six categories for you.

They chose very well with that first one, the baseball. That was always going to be a guess for you.

Usual Suspects, great news for you. The prize fund rolls over to the next game

where one of you could be playing for a total of £4,000.

Everybody's happy with that. Jan, you failed to achieve perfection

so you leave with nothing other than our thanks for playing.

-Hope you enjoyed yourself.

-I have, yes. It's been a lovely time.

Lovely. Let's hear it for Jan, everybody.

It's no time to meet the next Usual Suspect hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hi. I'm Debs, I live in Dudley and I'm a retired teacher.

Welcome, Debs, and best of luck to all of you

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

April, it's you. Please come and play Perfection.

-April, welcome to the show.

-Hello.

-How old are you?

-I'm 19.

-19 years old. And you're a student?

-Yes, I am.

-Studying?

-Psychology.

I get slightly worried when I meet someone who... I assume I'm being analysed by psychology students!

You never know!

-Do you do that? Do you analyse people as you go along?

-I think everyone does it naturally.

But cos I learn about it, I know a bit more. Like little movements and hand gestures.

Right. OK.

It does make you nervous thinking of it. You read body language and things.

-But they're fascinating. Once you learn those things, and can read body language.

-It's really useful,

-especially when people are telling you lies.

-You think you can tell?

-Yeah.

You'll be able to tell when you negotiate with that lot.

Two with their hands folded in front, and one with their hands open.

What does that... Ooh, he's changed, Adam.

-Giving you mixed signals!

-Yeah.

April, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects. They were your team mates, now they're your enemies.

The good news is nobody's won the last three games, so the prize fund currently stands at £4,000.

APPLAUSE

-As a student, that's going to come in really handy.

-Definitely.

Do you have something earmarked to spend it on, or just bills?

The main thing is I want to get a honeymoon for my mum and stepdad, cos they never had one.

So that's what I want to use the money for.

But I'd also like to get a car cos I get the train to uni and it's really long.

All right. Good luck. Three rounds and a final. Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off for now

so you can't see or hear anything.

But as soon as April makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game.

-April, are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Good. Then let's play Perfection.

Round One. Your 45 seconds start now.

I've heard of macaws. Not sure if they're from Australia.

I'm going to say true.

Yes, I think that's true.

Oh, my God.

I don't watch it, but I remember hearing something like that.

I'll go true.

I'll have to go false.

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

That seemed fairly confident.

Fairly. Fairly. Fairly.

-What are you worried about?

-D and C.

-Are you?

-Yeah.

-Before we reveal how well you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Keith, has she achieved perfection?

I think she has, actually. Yes.

Interesting. Adam, what do you think?

I think A may be wrong. They may be from America.

Debs, what do you make of those answers?

I agree with Adam. I thought A was wrong. I would change it to false.

April, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round. Let's find out.

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

So now the Usual Suspects are let into the game.

You can see April's answers. You need to change one of them. Which one?

-I reckon A is wrong.

-Yeah.

-Yes, A is wrong.

-Definitely.

-Nick, we'd like to change A from true to false.

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

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

Central and South America is where they're native to.

You know where this is going, Usual Suspects.

King Farouk was a monarch of Egypt. True or false?

Frasier was a spin-off from Cheers. True or false?

A Monegasque is a native or inhabitant of Mongolia.

That's false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

Let's clear that up. A Monegasque is a native of Monaco.

So, April, they succeeded where you failed,

and have stolen the round.

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

And here's how.

April, this is your final board.

These six spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are the choices of subject category appearing now.

Because the Usual Suspects won that round and stole it from you,

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

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

-Do you reckon King Arthur and um...

-Maybe Fawlty Towers?

-Yes.

-Fawlty Towers.

-Fawlty Towers.

-King Arthur and Fawlty Towers.

-Yeah.

OK, Nick, we want King Arthur and Fawlty Towers.

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

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

Now they've gone, what do you think of their choices?

-Awful!

-Awful, are they?

-Yeah.

I may be all right with King Arthur, but definitely not Fawlty Towers!

Taking a look at the list, which two would you like, given the choice?

Probably Twitter or Corrie.

Which two would you like to avoid?

Theatre and cricket.

OK. It's only the first round. You still have two more rounds to find perfection

and choose your own categories.

-Ready to go?

-Yep.

-Good. Let's play Round Two.

Your 45 seconds start now.

I think that's false.

Um, cassoulet.

I don't think it's a fish soup. I'm going to go false.

I'll go true.

I've never heard of the Solheim Cup!

True.

True. And you've answered all four statements in the time.

Not so confident.

-Not so confident.

-No.

-Well, you never know.

-No.

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

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

Adam, is it perfection this time?

It's not perfection. C is definitely wrong. Bondi Beach is in Australia.

-Debs, what do you think?

-I agree. My brother-in-law is Australian.

-He's told me about Bondi Beach, so I...

-Keith?

-I agree. I've been there.

Ah. So, April, the moment of truth. Let's find out how many are correct.

Yeah.

Three out of four. Again, not bad.

-But not quite perfection.

-No.

-You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, you can see April's answers. You need to change one. I wonder which it will be?

We're going to change C to false.

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

Evan Davies was a regular host of Antiques Roadshow. True or false?

False. He, of course, does Dragons' Den.

Cassoulet is a a spicy fish soup from Provence. True or false?

It's a meat and bean stew.

Bondi Beach is in Hawaii. True or false?

It's in Australia, in Sydney.

You know where this is going, Usual Suspects.

The Solheim Cup is contested in golf. True or false?

It's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

you have achieved perfection.

I'm afraid, April, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed.

They've stolen the round. Usual Suspects, you can make April's chances of winning that bit harder.

Let's see the final board.

Two categories chosen by the Usual Suspects.

As you won that round, you get to choose the next two. What do you fancy?

-Cricket?

-She'd know about Twitter. Yeah, I reckon cricket.

-Cricket and?

-Theatres?

-Maybe theatres?

OK. Yes, Nick, cricket and theatres, please.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You've won the second round as well.

We'll see you in Round Three.

-Cricket?

-No. The two I said I didn't want, they've put up!

Oh, well, you never know!

It might be something you know.

Confidence is the way forward. Be positive.

Bring some psychology into this!

Let's play Round Three.

Your 45 seconds start now.

Samuel L.Jackson. I don't think he was born in the 1940s.

I'm going to say false.

No, it's not. That is false.

I think that's false. I don't think it was her only novel.

That's false.

False. With time to spare, you've answered all four. How was that?

OK!

-OK, but?

-But I'm not sure about A or C.

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

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

Debs, has she achieved perfection?

I don't think so. I would change A from false to true.

-Adam?

-I think she's got perfection. She's done really well.

-Keith?

-I think she's got perfection.

-April, a vote of confidence there.

-Yeah.

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

Let's see how many are correct.

Ah. Two out of four.

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

-Yep.

Not ideal. You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Can you steal the round? You need to change two answers, but which two?

-I would change A.

-I know B and D are definitely correct.

-B and D are correct?

-Nicki Minaj is a singer, and Brunel is in London.

OK. A and C, then.

OK, Nick, we'd like to change A from false to true.

And C from false to true.

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

"Samuel L.Jackson was born in the 1940s."

1948.

"Brunel University is based in Edinburgh."

It is, actually, in Uxbridge, in West London.

You know where this is going. She died soon after the publication of Black Beauty.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

Let's clear that last one up.

Nicki Minaj is what?

-A famous rapper.

-A famous rapper and singer. Right.

The Usual Suspects have done it again.

-I know.

-Nicked the round from you.

Which means you can now make April's chance of winning the prize fund as hard as it can be.

Let's see the final board. You've chosen the first four categories

and because of your performance in that last round, you can choose the last two as well.

-Which would you like?

-Plays?

Yeah, plays. Maybe 1960s pop?

-1960s pop. Plays and 1960s pop.

-Yeah, I'll go for that.

Nick, we'd like to put plays across.

-And 1960s pop.

-And 1960s pop.

We now know our six final categories.

Well played, Usual Suspects. Time to switch you off for the final time.

-What do you make of the last two?

-Rubbish!

-I wouldn't have chosen them myself.

-Would you not?

-No.

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

April, this is the all-important final round.

If you achieve perfection, you could leave with a prize fund of £4,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing, which is great for the Usual Suspects.

One of them could be playing for a rollover of £5,000

-on the next game. You don't want that to happen.

-No.

-You'd like to be taking the cash home with important things to spend it on.

-I know!

-OK.

Let's play the final round.

April, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £4,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit, but once you give an answer,

-your first answer, it'll be locked in.

-OK.

-Ready?

-Yep.

OK. Let's reveal your first statement. Is it true or false?

I'm not... I really don't know.

But somewhere I think it's true.

True, yep.

That's a hard one.

That is a really hard one.

I've no idea. I'm going to say false.

-False.

-Yes, false.

Silly Midriff.

Midriff is like this area, isn't it?

Cricket.

It sounds a bit weird.

I'm going to say true.

I think that's false.

I know Arthur Miller wrote something else.

The Caretaker?

Come back to this space!

I think it's false, so...

I can sing it for you. Can I tell you who sung it?

By all means. Feel free, if it helps!

# You really got me You really got me... #

-Is that the right one?

-I can't tell you! I can't give you any clues!

It's nice and easy.

The Kinks.

That sounds a bit '60s.

I think it's false.

-False.

-Yeah.

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

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

-Which ones are you unsure of?

-A to F!

It wasn't a great round for you.

I didn't get to pick any of the categories.

That makes it really, really tough.

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

Usual Suspects, you can see the final six statements

with April's answers.

April, your answers are locked in. You can't change them by yourself

but you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will come at a cost.

April, who would you like to hear from first?

I'd like to hear from Debs first.

OK. I don't think you've achieved perfection.

I think there are two definitely wrong.

But I'm not sure I know the answers.

-I'd have to have a think about coming down to help.

-OK. Thank you.

-Adam?

-I think you've got two wrong for sure.

Maybe a couple more.

I might come and help you, but I'd have to think about it first.

-OK. Keith?

-I think you've got a couple wrong.

What percentage are you sure?

I'm like 96% sure on four of them.

If I was to come down, how much?

-You can have 1,500.

-Of the £4,000?

-Yeah.

What about two?

That's a possibility.

OK.

Perhaps go along to the others first, yeah?

Have you made a decision, Debs?

I'm not confident enough to come down and help you.

So I count myself out.

-Adam?

-Right.

-I'm really confident about four.

I don't know if I believe you, to be honest. Sorry.

-So what are you saying?

-I'm out.

-Adam's out.

-So we come back along the line to Keith again.

-Yeah.

No, I think I'll give it a miss, if you don't mind, this time.

-OK.

-Do you want to increase the offer?

Would you come down for 2,200?

I think I'll say no.

-OK.

-I think it looks like you're on your own here.

None of the Usual Suspects are willing to help you out.

£4,000 at stake. Six answers away.

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

Let's go for the top. You might have won the £4,000.

-You thought this may be true.

-Yep

You need this to turn green to get you off to a good start.

Is it true or false?

It's false, I'm afraid.

It means you're not going to take home any money as you failed to achieve perfection.

-Perhaps you can achieve perfection at home and let's find out how many you've got right.

-Yep.

Geoffrey on Monmouth wrote a book which popularised the Arthurian legend.

-OK.

-Let's move on.

In Fawlty Towers, Manuel's pet rat was named Basil.

You said false. We need this to turn red. Was it true or false?

I'm afraid it's true. He named it after the owner, Basil Fawlty.

-OK.

-"Silly Midriff is a fielding position in cricket."

You thought that might be true. True or false?

I'm afraid that's false as well.

Silly Mid-off is actually a fielding position.

Silly Midriff is made up.

So we're on to Sadler's Wells specialising in performance of dance.

You thought this was false.

We'd like this to turn red for you.

Is it true or false?

-It's true, I'm afraid. It's a dance company.

-Yes.

Four wrong so far.

We'd like you to get one, somewhere along the line, we'd like you to get one right.

"Arthur Miller wrote the play The Caretaker."

You thought this was false.

-You thought you'd seen The Caretaker.

-I'm sure I have.

-You have to have got this one right!

-Don't say that!

I'm jinxing it? I couldn't jinx it any worse than it is!

"Arthur Miller wrote the play The Caretaker." We want this to turn red.

It's false. Very good.

I think that's worth a round of applause! One right!

It was written by Harold Pinter.

-OK. I'm sure I've seen it.

-You knew that.

-Yeah!

And finally, "You Really Got Me was a hit single by The Kinks."

And it goes...

No, it's not.

It was the one that goes, # You really got me going. # That one.

-Yeah, that's what I was singing.

-We could tell that. Absolutely.

You got exactly the right song.

You said false. Is it true or false?

I'm afraid it's true, actually.

-You didn't get it right, but you sang it right.

-Yes, that's right.

You don't get any marks for that!

So in the end, it was only one out of the six you got right.

But it was a particularly tough board.

They chose well and made things difficult for you.

Usual Suspects, fantastic news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game

where one of you could be playing for a total of £5,000.

April, you failed to achieve perfection which means you leave with nothing

other than our thanks for being a great Usual Suspect

-and I hope you enjoyed it.

-Yeah, I did.

-Honestly, truly?

-Yeah.

-A bit of psychology there to make you feel better!

-Yeah!

Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for April.

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

when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play for £5,000.

But really this is a tough quiz to win

and we only pay for perfection. Goodbye!
