Episode 50 Perfection

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

Behind this screen are four contestants who 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. They're in our Isolation Room.

In a moment, we'll find out who has been randomly selected to play Perfection.

They will then face a series of true or false statements.

For example, if I said...

Would you say that's true or false?

If you said true, I can tell you

you'd be right.

Answering true or false might seem easy,

but if the contestant gets a single answer wrong,

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

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

Hi. My name's Anna. I'm from St Albans.

I'm a student, and this is my first game.

Hi. I'm Kev. I live in Greenock. I'm a taxi driver

and this is my second game.

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

and this is my sixth game.

Hi. I'm Adam. I'm from Dartford. I'm a student in Sheffield

and this is my seventh game.

Welcome to you all, especially Anna, who's playing her first game.

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

Kev, it's you. Please come and play the game.

APPLAUSE

-Kev, welcome to the game. Let's find out a little bit more about you. You're a taxi driver?

-Yeah.

-Do you enjoy doing that?

-I love it. It's easy, sitting earning money. Sitting.

-Do you chat to people as you go along?

-Definitely, aye.

You've got to get the chat. That's how you get the tips!

I suppose that's the truth, isn't it?

No, you just try and be as nice as you can.

Also, you talk about sitting in a cab all day, but you're super-fit.

Well, I'm trying to be fit, because I wasn't fit for a wee bit, so...

Right. But you do marathons and everything? How many have you done?

I've done four in the last year and I want to do another one.

Smashing. Kev, 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, because your failure

will mean the prize money rolls over to the next game,

where one of them could be sitting here playing for more cash.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Here's the good news - nobody's won the last two games, so the prize fund currently stands at £3,000.

-What would you do with it if you win it?

-My wife's at university,

studying nursing for the last three years, so we've not had a holiday.

So that's the first on the agenda.

Anywhere!

-Anywhere?

-Anywhere!

But I'd like to kill two birds with one stone and go to New York

and do the New York Marathon. That's my next...

Would you like...? What's the attraction of running marathons? I can't see it.

I don't know, because it's quite sore!

I don't know - just a personal achievement.

Yeah. I'm going to take a great deal of pride

in YOUR personal achievement, if that's all right, and not attempt it myself!

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

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

If your performance is anything less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects will have a chance to steal the round, making the final much harder for you.

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

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

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

Once you've given an answer, your first answer will be locked in,

-even if you've made a mistake. Understand?

-Yeah.

-OK.

Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1. Your 45 seconds starts now.

Not sure about that one, so I'll need to go for...

-true.

-True.

Never heard of that one either, so I'll need to go 50/50,

-and I'll go...false.

-False.

Know the name. Not sure if he plays rugby. I'll go...

-false again.

-False.

And finally...

It was in...

I'm not sure of the year,

so I'm going to go false.

False. And with a few seconds to spare,

you've answered all four.

-I think, looking at you struggling through that, it wasn't a comfortable round.

-No.

-I'm not confident with any of them.

-A few guesses in there?

-Four!

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

Don't forget they'll be able to hear you.

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements. Next to them are Kev's answers.

Adam, has he achieved Perfection?

Yeah, I think he's off to a good start here. I think it's Perfection.

Debs, can you see anything wrong with those answers?

No, I also think he's got Perfection there.

Anna, welcome to the show. What do you think of those answers?

I'm pretty sure they're right. I think he's got Perfection.

Well, according to the Usual Suspects, you've nailed it.

Kev, the moment of truth. Let's see if you've answered all four statements perfectly

and achieved Perfection. How many are right?

Just two out of four. That certainly isn't Perfection.

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

Though it seems there's not a lot to worry about! They thought you'd achieved Perfection.

Can you steal the round, Usual Suspects?

You need to change two answers. Which two?

I know he's got C correct,

so A, B or D.

D is definitely...

B is definitely false.

-B is definitely false?

-Yeah.

What about D? Anna?

I'm sure the Battle of Britain was in the First World War.

-Second.

-Was it in the Second? OK.

So you want to change...?

-You're sure of...

-I'm definitely sure of C.

-Leighton Baines plays football for Everton.

-Right.

-Cider With Rosie was written by Laurie Lee.

-OK.

-So we'll change A and D?

-Yeah.

-You OK with that, Anna?

-Yeah.

-OK.

Can we change A from true to false, please?

A changes from true to false.

And D from false to true, please.

D from false to true,

leaving B and C as answered by Kev.

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

The Camberwell Beauty is a breed of pig - true or false?

It is false. Well done, Usual Suspects.

It is, in fact, a British butterfly.

Cider With Rosie was written by Rustie Lee - true or false?

It is false.

Laurie Lee wrote it.

I think you'll find Rustie Lee was the TV cook.

Remember her?

Leighton Baines plays rugby for Wales - true or false?

Yep, that's false.

He plays football for England.

So you know where this is going.

The Battle of Britain took place in 1940 - true or false?

It is true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects - you have achieved Perfection.

No need to look guilty, Anna - it's a team game. Don't worry about it.

Well, Kev, they managed to succeed where you failed,

and they've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Kev's chances of winning the prize fund much harder.

Here's how. Kev, here is your final board.

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

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you,

they get to choose two categories.

-Which two would you like, Usual Suspects?

-What do you think?

-I think Books.

-Books. Anna?

-Latin, maybe?

Yeah, I was thinking about Latin as one of them.

Or Lone Ranger?

Lone Ranger?

OK, right.

-We'll go for Lone Ranger...

-Lone Ranger goes into the final.

-..and Latin.

-Latin goes into the final.

Well done, Usual Suspects. You won the first round.

It's time to switch you off, but we'll see you in Round 2.

Now they've gone and can't hear us, let's talk about that. Lone Ranger?

Not sure about that. Depends on the question.

But I'm glad I missed Churchill!

-Really?

-Definitely.

-And Latin?

-Not sure about that.

-All right. Talk about the two you don't want.

-You mentioned Churchill there.

-Definitely not.

Another one I would try and avoid would be Greek Myth.

Pick two from there that you will be choosing, given the opportunity.

Film Quotes and TV Comedy.

All right. Well, look, it's only the first round, Kev.

You still have two more rounds to find Perfection and choose your own categories for the final,

-which will give you a better chance. Ready?

-Let's do it.

Let's play Round 2.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Not sure about that one. I'll need to go for...

-true.

-True.

I'm pretty sure that's true.

True.

I think that's false. I think he invented something else.

False. And finally...

Again, not sure, so I'll go for...

Think about it...

-True.

-True.

And with a little time to spare, you've answered all four.

-Again, it felt like there might have been a few there...

-I'm not confident with any of them.

-Maybe C. Possibly C, I think I might have it right.

-All right.

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

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

-Debs, how's he done this time?

-I think A might be wrong.

-I would change it to false.

-Anna, what do you think of those answers?

Um...I've no idea on any of them.

That's quite bad!

-He could have got Perfection. He might not have done.

-Very honest of you!

Adam, what do you think?

I think he may have Perfection, but if he doesn't,

I think B could be wrong

and D...I think it could be further than 35 metres.

All right, Kev, the moment of truth. Let's find out how many are correct.

Two out of four. In a 50/50 game, that's an average score.

You haven't achieved Perfection.

Now your enemies, the Usual Suspects, are back in the game.

Can you steal the round? You need to change two answers.

Rome was built on seven hills.

-Definitely?

-I think I might have heard that before.

-The hovercraft?

I don't know who invented that,

-but Barnes Wallis invented the bouncing bomb.

-Yeah.

-I think B and C, leave.

-Right.

So you want A and D to change?

Yeah. That's my best...

That's what I would go for.

-My best guess.

-Yeah.

-What do you reckon, Anna?

-Yeah, I'm cool with that.

-Wicked. OK.

We'd like to please change A from true to false.

-A from true to false.

-Yeah.

-And D from true to false.

-And D from true to false,

leaving B and C as answered by Kev.

That's funny - "I'm cool with that." "Wicked."

OK. It's a different language altogether!

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

Bob Monkhouse presented Every Second Counts - true or false?

Yep, it's false. Very well done.

It was Paul Daniels that presented it, actually.

Rome was built on seven hills - true or false?

True. Absolutely right, Debs.

The hovercraft was invented by Sir Barnes Wallis - true or false?

False. You're absolutely right.

Sir Barnes Wallis invented the bouncing bomb.

It was Sir Christopher Cockerell who invented the hovercraft.

And you know where this is going now.

An Olympic archer stands 35 metres from the target - true or false?

It's false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved Perfection.

And you're right, Adam. It is a bit further away - in fact, twice the distance.

70 metres away from the target an Olympic archer stands.

Well Kev, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Kev's chances of winning the prize fund much harder.

Let's see the final board.

You won the first round and chose two categories.

Because you won that round, you get to choose the next two as well.

-What'll it be?

-Greek Myth?

-I'd probably say Greek Myth, yeah.

-Yeah.

Definitely Greek Myth and...

What else do you reckon? Medicine? Sweden, maybe?

Books? I'd probably say Books.

-Books?

-Yeah, I'd go for Books.

OK. We'd like to take across Greek Myth.

Greek Myth goes across.

-And Books, please.

-And Books. Thank you very much.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You won Round 2. Time to switch you off, but we'll see you in Round 3.

Greek Myth, then - you got that.

-Got the one I didn't want!

-Yeah.

-You all right with Books?

-I read a wee bit, not too much.

But just depends on the question.

Well, you still have one more chance to find Perfection and choose your own categories,

which will help you win that money. Let's play Round 3.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I think that's...

true.

True.

Never heard of him, so 50/50. I'll go...

-..false.

-False.

-Sounds too ridiculous to be true, so I'll go false.

-False.

And finally...

Um...

I love my football, but I think that's false as well.

False.

And with time to spare, you've answered all four. Any better?

No. Only confident of one!

-Are you enjoying yourself?

-It's been brilliant,

but I've just not been very lucky with the questions.

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

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

Anna, can you shed any light on these?

I think he's done pretty well.

I would maybe question A and D, but I'm not certain.

Debs, what do you think of those answers?

I think he's done quite well.

-I would question A as well.

-Adam, is it Perfection?

I think he's done really well, but the only one I would question is D.

Interesting. Kev, the moment of truth. Let's see how many are correct.

Two out of four. Consistent.

Consistently average!

Yes, I'm afraid that is a reasonable critique of your performance!

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

You can steal the round. You need to change two of Kev's answers.

Well, I think The Female Eunuch was written by Germaine Greer.

-Yeah.

-Yeah, it was.

C, we don't want to change.

-OK, yeah.

-B, I think Chiang Kai-shek was the leader in China.

-China, yeah.

-Not Vietnam.

But... Bit worrying.

D, I'm a bit...

-I think it's a bit early.

-Do you?

-Match Of The Day seems to have been on forever, but...

-Yeah.

I think the Sydney Harbour Bridge was more likely to be 20th century.

Seems a bit early.

We definitely agree for A to change. So definitely change A.

-What about the others?

-D.

-I'm pretty sure on B and C.

-Go for A and D, then.

-Yeah, I'll go for A and D.

-A and D.

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

A from true to false.

And D from false to true.

And D from false to true,

leaving B and C as answered by Kev.

Thank you, Usual Suspects.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

Sydney Harbour Bridge opened in the 19th century - true or false?

It's false. Absolutely right.

1932. You're right, Anna.

19th century was too early.

Chiang Kai-shek was the leader of Vietnam - true or false?

That is absolutely false.

Leader of China,

as Anna said. Well done.

The Female Eunuch is a book by Katie Price - true or false?

That's false. Germaine Greer, as you said, Debs.

And Match Of The Day was first shown in the 1960s -

you know where this is going - true or false?

It is true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects - you have achieved Perfection.

Yeah, very well done - team effort. Do you like football, Debs?

-I've sort of got used to it.

-Yeah, it probably just feels like it's been on forever.

-Yes!

Kev, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed

and they've stolen the round. Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Kev's chances

of winning the prize fund about as hard as it can be. Let's see the final board.

Four subject categories all chosen by the Usual Suspects.

You can now make it a clean sweep.

Because you did so well in that last round,

you get to choose the next two as well.

It's hard. Kings?

-I think Kings will be easy.

-You think Kings will be easy?

-Um, probably.

-OK. Film Quotes?

-Medicine, I think.

-Medicine will probably be quite hard.

Medicine, I think, definitely.

Definitely.

-Churchill?

-Medicine and Churchill, shall we go for?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, OK. We're going Medicine...

-Medicine goes across.

-..and Churchill.

-And Churchill. Thank you very much.

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

OK, guys, time to switch you off for the final time. Cheerio. And away they go.

-You've got Churchill - just like you didn't want.

-I didn't want any of them!

Well, you see, this is the danger if you don't achieve Perfection

and you leave it to them. They are going to try and tuck you up.

They've done a pretty good job. They've picked the ones you didn't want.

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

Kev, this is the all-important final.

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

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

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

Let's play the final round.

Here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £3,000.

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. Lone Ranger.

Don't know that at all,

so it's going to be a 50/50 guess.

Go for false.

False.

Latin.

Oh...CV.

I wasn't very good at doing CVs, so...it sounds as if it's...

..close to it, but I'm going to go for false.

-I don't think it means that.

-False.

Greek Myth.

That's why I didn't want that section!

Again, don't know.

50/50.

Go for...true.

True.

Books.

Another one I'm not sure of.

I'll go for false.

False.

Medicine.

I've never heard of that.

The only infection of the eye I've heard of is not that word,

-so I'll go for false.

-False.

And finally, the one you really didn't want - Churchill.

I know he had a lot of famous quotes.

Not sure if he wrote anything that would win him that prize.

I think he won the Peace Prize, Nobel Peace Prize,

so I'll go for false.

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

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

Quite a lot, to be honest!

-I wouldn't be 100% confident of having any right.

-No?

-No.

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

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements,

and next to them are Kev's answers. Kev, your answers are now locked in,

and you can't change them. But you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will, however, come at a cost.

Usual Suspects, how well do you think Kev has done,

do you want to help, and if you do, how much will it cost?

-Kev, who would you like to hear from?

-I'll go for Anna first - left to right.

I don't think I'll be coming down to help you. Really sorry, but I'm just not certain on any of those.

-No problem.

-It's really hard.

-Fine.

-So it's a tough round, you think?

-Yeah.

-You helped choose 'em! OK, who would you like to hear from next?

-Adam.

I'm not sure myself on any of them. I may be sure of one,

-so I definitely won't be coming down to help you, sorry.

-OK.

Fine. Debs, what have you got to say?

There are some that are wrong.

It's a gut feeling with a couple of them,

and I don't actually know what would make them right,

-so I don't feel I could come down and help you.

-Fair enough.

None of the Usual Suspects willing to help. You're on your own.

£3,000 at stake. Let's find out if you've achieved Perfection.

We'll start at the top and make our way down from there.

The Lone Ranger's real name is Matt Murdock. You said false.

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

Is it true or false?

It is false. Very well done.

APPLAUSE

His name is usually said to be John Reid.

So that's a good start. Very well done.

"Curriculum vitae" means "best accomplishments".

You said that was false.

Is it true or false?

Yeah, it is false.

APPLAUSE

It means "course of life".

Oedipus was a king of Thebes. You said this was true.

We need this to turn green.

If it does, you're halfway to the £3,000 on your own.

Oedipus was a king of Thebes - is it true or false?

It is true.

APPLAUSE

Now, you said there are a few guesses in here.

But sometimes you can guess your way to it. I wonder whether you have on this occasion.

The left-hand page of a book is called the verso.

Now, you thought this was false.

Which means it should turn red.

Is it true or false?

It's true, I'm afraid.

That's where your luck ran out on that one.

And as a result, you haven't achieved Perfection

and you won't be going home with the money.

I wonder whether you can still achieve Perfection at home.

Let's deal with the rest of those statements.

Gingivitis is an infection of the eye.

Is it true or false?

Yes, it is, of course, false.

It affects the gums in your mouth.

-Conjunctivitis is the one...

-That's the one I've heard of.

So, the last one. Winston Churchill won the Nobel Prize

in Literature - is that true or false?

That's actually true,

in actual fact.

Yes, he was something of a writer before he became Prime Minister.

-After which, he became something of a painter. All depends what you think of his art...

-Some man!

Yes, he was some chap, actually!

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

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

APPLAUSE

I tell you what, though, Kev - all six of the categories chosen by the Usual Suspects.

None of the subjects you chose yourself, and you managed to get four out of six.

I think that was luck more than anything else, to be honest!

I'd claim it as a skill if I were you, and take it away with you.

Kev, you failed to achieve Perfection,

which means you go home with nothing other than our thanks for playing.

-Hope you enjoyed it.

-Brilliant.

-Let's hear it for Kev.

APPLAUSE

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

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hi. I'm Don. I'm from South Wales and I'm self-employed in the motor industry.

Welcome to you, Don, and good luck to all of you

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

Debs, it's you. Please come down and play the game.

APPLAUSE

-Debs, welcome to the show.

-Thank you.

-Married?

-I am married.

-For how long?

-38 years.

No, it can't be 38 years!

I am - I'm that old.

-And you used to be a headmistress?

-Deputy headmistress.

Deputy headmistress. Does that mean you're in charge at home?

I'm always in charge at home, yeah!

And he knows that, does he?

Oh, gosh, yes!

Well, Debs, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

Nobody's won the last three games, so the prize fund currently stands at £4,000.

APPLAUSE

-It would be nice to win that.

-It would.

-What would you spend it on?

-It would go into the holiday fund.

-You got a holiday in mind?

-Oh, yes.

-Australia.

-Oh, right, OK.

-You can get there for that.

-I've got to take my husband, though.

Well, yes, you should, shouldn't you? After 38 years together,

I suppose you should. Is there anything in particular in Australia you want to see?

No, my husband's retiring at Christmas, and he's always wanted to go,

so we've got the fund that's building up

and that would help a lot.

Yeah. A wonderful place to see.

All right, three rounds and a final to come. Usual Suspects,

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

but as soon as Debs makes a mistake, you will be back in the game.

Debs, when they're in silhouette like this,

-you can talk through your answers without giving away any vital knowledge.

-Yep.

-Are you ready?

-Yes, I'm ready.

-Then let's play Perfection.

Round 1. Your 45 seconds starts now.

Um, I'm thinking of the football...

-Yes, I think that's true.

-True.

I have no idea.

Never seen the film,

so I'm going to say false.

False.

No, I think it's a type of drum, so that is false.

False.

And finally...

I think that's true.

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

-Well, that sounded very positive.

-Did it?!

-Good!

-Did it not feel it?

Um...I'm pretty sure of two.

Right. That must be the old deputy headmistress coming out -

-you sounded very confident in all of them.

-Yeah.

-Confident at all times - that's the trick!

-It is.

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

So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements

and next to them are Debs' answers.

Adam, has she achieved Perfection?

Yeah, I think she has a really good start here.

-Pretty sure that's Perfection.

-Anna?

I think she's done really well and I think she might have got Perfection.

-Don, what do you think?

-I'm pretty sure that would be Perfection.

-That's interesting. The Usual Suspects have given you a huge vote of confidence.

-That's good.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Congratulations, Debs - you have achieved Perfection!

APPLAUSE

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

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

The middle stripe on the Belgian flag is yellow.

We know that to be...true.

The Wedding Singer starred Matthew McConaughey.

That, of course, is false. He was in The Wedding Planner.

-Adam Sandler was the star of The Wedding Singer.

-Right.

A bongo is a type of bird. You said that was false because it's a drum.

Is it true or false? We know it to be false.

It is a kind of drum, but more specifically, it's an antelope.

Certainly isn't a bird, anyway - that's the most important thing.

The Divine Comedy is an epic poem by Dante.

You said that was true and it is...true.

Now, as a result of that perfect performance,

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

This is your final board appearing.

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

Let's have a look at your final round choices.

Because you've won the round, you've earned the right to choose two categories

to add to the board. So which two would you like to play?

Um...oh, it's really tricky.

-I think Fruit.

-Fruit will go across.

-And it's a bit random, but The Elbow.

-The Elbow goes across too.

Usual Suspects, we'll see you in the next round.

In the meantime, we'll switch you off.

Now they've gone, have a look at that list and tell me the two you'd really like to avoid.

Probably US Geography

and...Shipping, I think.

All right. Well, you've made a great start to the game.

If you're ready, we'll continue

-and see if you can achieve Perfection again, shall we?

-OK, thank you.

-Let's play Round 2.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I think they did, yes.

True.

True.

Er...ooh, dear me,

I know a lot of dinosaur names - I've never heard that one.

So I'm going to say false.

False.

Um...

I think that's true.

True. And finally...

-I think that's false, cos I think it means dry.

-False.

Lovely. And with that, you've answered all four statements.

Good round again?

Mmm...not so good as the first one, perhaps.

You don't think? Which one's worrying you?

-I'm a bit worried about B and C.

-Are you?

-Yes.

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

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements.

Next to them are Debs' answers.

Don, has she achieved Perfection this time?

It's looking pretty good to me.

I think she's achieved it, yeah.

Anna, can you see anything wrong?

Not particularly. I think she might have it again.

-Adam?

-Yeah, again, I think she's done very well, so...

Yeah, I think she's got Perfection again.

You think it's another shut-out for you here?

Debs, the moment of truth. Let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four's good, but it's not Perfection,

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

Usual Suspects, it wasn't a shut-out. You can steal this round.

You need to change one answer, but which one?

What do you think?

I'm originally from Dorset, and I know that the Tolpuddle Martyrs are from Dorset,

so I'm pretty sure on that one.

We're OK with A.

Argentinosaurus...I just can't imagine it being a dinosaur.

It sounds too ridiculous to be true.

Yeah.

But maybe brut... You know, if you're a bit of a brute, you're quite harsh and quite...

So maybe it's not sweet.

It doesn't sound like it'd be true.

-Up to you, captain!

-I'm pretty sure on A and C.

I think I might go for the dinosaur one.

-Do it!

-Go for it.

-OK.

Right, we'd like to change B from false to true, please.

You would like to change B from false to true,

leaving A, C and D as answered by Debs.

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

The Tolpuddle Martyrs came from Dorset. Is that true or false?

Yes, that's true,

as Don and Debs absolutely believed that to be true.

So we come to the next one.

There was a dinosaur named Argentinosaurus.

Is that true or false?

-It is true.

-Yes!

There you go.

It's thought to be the longest and heaviest land animal ever.

It is a huge dinosaur...was a HUGE dinosaur.

Not is, obviously. Don't worry!

They're not still roaming around the place.

OK, Rumours is an album by Fleetwood Mac - true or false?

True. And finally, when referring to wine, brut means sweet.

True or false?

It is false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved Perfection.

Brut means dry or very dry.

Debs, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed. Let's see the final board.

First two categories chosen by Debs,

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

-I'd say Judo, straight away.

-Yeah.

-Yeah? Go for it.

-Yeah.

-Judo.

-Then what else do you reckon?

Shipping?

I'd go with Shipping, first glance.

-Yeah? Shipping and Judo.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Wicked. OK. Please can we move over Shipping...

-Shipping goes across.

-..and Judo.

And Judo. Thank you very much. And congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You've won the second round. We'll see you in Round 3.

-Well, they went for Shipping.

-Thought they would.

Judo. Know anything about Judo?

-Not a lot.

-They didn't do it in the school when you were looking after the school?

-No.

Well, look, you still have one more chance to achieve Perfection

and find your own categories for the final.

-You ready to carry on?

-I am, yes.

-Let's play Round 3.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I don't know anybody who's ever got

three strikes in a row in tenpin bowling.

-So I'll say false.

-False.

I don't think so. False.

False.

No, she's not. That's false.

False. And finally...

I think that's true.

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

-How was that one?

-A bit better.

-A bit better, you think?

-Yeah.

You seem very sure of Zara Phillips.

Well, she's got an elder brother.

So he would be the eldest.

Well, look, before we reveal how well you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Hello, Usual Suspects. These are the four statements, and Debs' answers.

Anna, how's she done this time?

She's done pretty well.

Maybe Jamaica's not the biggest island.

That's the only one I'd question.

Adam, what do you think?

She's definitely got one wrong.

The cookiecutter is definitely a shark.

As for A, I think maybe a turkey is three strikes in a row.

Don, do you think it's Perfection?

I don't, but on a completely different answer.

I would question Zara Phillips, but I honestly don't know.

Debs, you need to have answered all four statements perfectly

to have won the round. Let's see how many are correct.

-Oh, dear!

-Just one out of four on this occasion.

Certainly not Perfection.

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

Can you steal the round? You need to change three answers. Which three?

I definitely wouldn't change B, because that's definitely a shark.

A turkey is three strikes - three strikes is getting them all down.

OK. And is Jamaica the largest island?

-I don't think it's that big, but...

-I don't think it's that big.

-I think it's quite long and thin. I don't think it's that big.

-I don't...

Again, not sure on that one.

I reckon we'll change B, definitely.

So D, B and A...yeah?

-Yeah.

-Sure? OK.

We'd like to change A from false to true.

A changes from false to true.

-B from false to true.

-B from false to true.

-And D from true to false, please.

-D from true to false,

leaving C as answered by Debs.

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

A turkey is three strikes in a row in tenpin bowling.

Is that true or false?

That is true.

A cookiecutter is a type of shark - is that true or false?

Yes, that is true. Absolutely right, Adam. You were sure about that.

So called because it gouges out round holes

in the flesh when it bites.

Zara Phillips is the Queen's eldest grandchild - is that true or false?

It is false.

Her brother, Peter Phillips, is the eldest grandchild.

He doesn't look unlike you, Don.

You've got a hint of the Peter Phillips about you,

-if you don't mind me saying!

-Take your word for it!

And the largest island in the Caribbean is Jamaica.

Is that true or false?

It's false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved Perfection.

Cuba is the largest island in the Caribbean.

Very well played, Usual Suspects. Between you, you worked it out. Did a good job there.

Debs, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed

and they've stolen the round. Let's see the final board.

Because you won the last round, Usual Suspects,

you get to choose the last two categories.

Which two do you fancy?

I don't think Debs looks much like a bar billiards player.

-No.

-I don't know what that is.

It's like snooker.

-Oh!

-Yeah, I'd go with Bar Billiards. I was also thinking maybe Skiing.

Is she a skier? She likes to go on holiday.

I think she goes more hot places than cold.

Yes?

-Think we'll go Skiing and Bar Billiards.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-OK.

-We'd like to move across Skiing.

-Skiing goes across.

-And Bar Billiards, please.

-And Bar Billiards. Thank you.

We now know our six final categories...

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

Away they go.

-Adam with an interesting knowledge of your holiday habits there. You only go on hot holidays.

-Do I?

Oh, well, there you go.

What about those last two? Do you ski?

-No!

-Oh.

So they kind of guessed right, then, saying you didn't.

And Bar Billiards...

Funnily enough, I've played bar billiards in my youth.

You never know, then. Debs, for £4,000,

it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

Debs, this is the all-important final.

If you can achieve Perfection, you could be leaving with £4,000.

If you fail, you'll leave with nothing.

Great news for the Usual Suspects,

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £5,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

Debs, here are your final six categories.

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

Think carefully. There's no time limit.

Once you've given an answer, your first answer is locked in.

-You understand?

-Yes.

-Are you ready?

-I am.

Then let's reveal your first statement. Tell me whether it's true or false. Fruit.

I don't think it is.

I think it's a kiwi.

That might not be right.

I'm going to say...false.

False.

They call it your funny bone, the humerus.

Whether it's aqueous humour...

I'll say true.

True.

Oh...

I think it does.

Oh, goodness, we went on a P&O cruise last year.

No, I think it's true.

-True.

-True.

Thank you.

A Tsukahara...

I'm going to say false.

False.

Mogul skiing? I've never heard of mogul skiing.

I'm going to say...

-..true.

-True.

And finally...

Six pockets?

SHE COUNTS UNDER HER BREATH

I'm trying to remember, but...

it's a long time.

-I'll say true.

-True.

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

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

I haven't got a clue about the Skiing or the Judo.

The others are just...

informed guesses, really.

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

Usual Suspects, you can see the final six statements

and next to them are Debs' answers.

Debs, your answers are now locked in. You can't change them yourself.

-But you can unlock them with the help of the Usual Suspects.

-OK.

This will, however, come at a cost.

Debs, who would you like to hear from first?

Um...Anna.

I'm absolutely certain you've got one wrong.

But the others... I think you'll be uncertain on the same ones as me.

So I'm not sure. Come back to me.

OK. Don?

I'm pretty convinced that you've got at least two wrong.

But I'm going to rule myself out at the moment.

OK. Fair enough. Adam?

I'm pretty sure you've got a couple, maybe even three or four, wrong.

I don't think I'm willing to come down and help you. Sorry.

-I'm out.

-OK.

I think I'll go it alone, then.

You don't want to make Anna an offer?

How many do you think you know the answers to 100%, Anna?

I'm 100% you've got one wrong, but maybe I don't want to help you any more!

Fair enough.

I seem to have started a row there!

-That's OK.

-No, sorry, I'm not confident on the others, so I'm not going to help.

-So you're going to go alone?

-I'll just go with it.

Debs, £4,000 at stake, six answers away.

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

Before we get started, Anna, which one would you have changed if you had come down?

I've been skiing all my life and I've done snowboarding too,

and unless there's some way of snowboarding on moguls, which you can't, then...

-E should be false.

-All right.

Let's go from the top and find out.

The Chinese gooseberry is better known as a lychee. You said false,

because you thought it might be a kiwi fruit.

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

It is false. Well done.

And it is the kiwi fruit as well. Absolutely right.

Aqueous humour is found in the elbow joint.

You thought this would be true. Let's have a look.

We need this to turn green. Is it true or false?

It is false, I'm afraid.

It's actually in the eyeball.

-Is it?!

-I know.

-Good gracious.

-So, as a result, you haven't achieved Perfection

and you won't be going home with the cash.

Can you still achieve Perfection at home? Let's run through the rest of these statements.

P&O stands for Pacific and Oceanic - is that true or false?

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

Peninsular and Oriental.

A Tsukahara is a throw in judo - is it true or is it false?

It is false. Very good.

-In actual fact, it's a gymnastics vault.

-I thought it was.

-You've hear that...?

-From the Olympics.

-The Olympics.

Let's move on. In mogul skiing,

competitors use snowboards. Is it true or false?

Yes, I'm afraid it's false. Anna, what's a mogul?

It's like a mound on a hill that you kind of go round with your skis.

Right. And you'd do yourself some damage trying to do it on a snowboard.

I'm sure snowboards have done it over moguls,

but certainly not in competition, that's for sure.

A bar billiard table always has six pockets.

-You played bar billiards.

-A long time ago.

I used to drink in those days.

Did you? Maybe that didn't help you remember how many there were!

Let's find out. You said this was true. Is it true or false?

I'm afraid it's false.

I don't know how much you were drinking at the time, but it doesn't have any pockets at all!

-Oh, I don't know.

-It just has holes in the middle of the table.

-Oh, well. Never mind!

-Never mind.

But look - an entire board of red.

A board full of falses was what you were looking for.

That's fairly unusual. 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.

APPLAUSE

Debs, I'm afraid you failed to achieve Perfection,

-which means you go home with nothing other than our thanks. But you've enjoyed playing?

-Yes, I have.

Let's hear it for Debs, ladies and gentlemen.

APPLAUSE

That's all we have time for.

Please join us next time, when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play for £5,000.

It's a tough one to win, but we will pay for absolute Perfection. Cheerio.
