Episode 55 Perfection

Welcome to Perfection.

Four contestants are hoping their knowledge is flawless

because one single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

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

Behind me are the contestants, the Usual Suspects, in our isolation room.

We'll find out which one has been randomly selected to join me to play Perfection.

They will face a series of true-or-false statements. For example, if I said...

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

If you'd said true,

I can tell you, you'd be right.

Answering true or false might seem easy, but if the contestant gets an 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 Josh from Reading, I'm an amateur filmmaker and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Sonia from Wolverhampton, I'm a law student and this is my second game.

Hello, I'm Janice. I live in North Yorkshire,

I'm a family history researcher and this is my third game.

I'm John. I live in Shrewsbury, I'm a sales executive and this is my fourth game.

Welcome to you all, especially Josh.

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

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

Janice, welcome to the game.

I'm fascinated by what you do for a living.

Oh, yes. I'm a family history researcher.

-People are taking more interest in their family trees.

-They are.

A lot of that's due to the BBC, good old Auntie Beeb,

putting on the 'Who Do You Think You Are?' show.

And they're always fascinating.

-Everybody has someone fascinating in their family.

-Indeed.

There's so such thing as a boring family. I really do love my job.

You're a bit of a daredevil. I understand you've been white water rafting.

Yes. This is me trying to recapture my lost youth.

I've done this in Bali, Indonesia.

-It was really great fun.

-Was it?

-So, you recommend people have a go?

-Yes. Absolutely.

Anybody from 7 to 70 can do it.

I need to win some money

so I can do that again before I get too old!

OK! Let's see how you do. It's you versus the Usual Suspects.

They're now your enemies.

Their job is to stop you winning. Your failure means the money rolls over to the next game,

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

Every game is worth £1,000. Here's the good news -

nobody has won the last game

so the prize fund stands at £2,000.

APPLAUSE

-Best of luck.

-Thank you.

-Here's how the game works...

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

If your performance is 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 going to switch you off so you can't see or hear anything.

Each round consists of four true-or- false statements, against the clock.

Once you've given your first answer, they'll be locked in.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Then, let's play Perfection.

Round 1. Your 45 seconds starts now.

-That's false.

-False.

I really don't know. I'll have to guess at that one.

-Let's try true.

-True.

Yes, I think I've tried that.

-I think that's true.

-True. And finally...

I don't believe that.

-Watch the time.

-Erm...

-It's false!

-False. Thank you.

Just in time.

-You were worrying me there.

-I was worrying me!

Anyway, you did manage to answer all four statements.

How did that feel? A confident round or not?

-Half and half.

-Half and half.

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

These are the four statements and Janice's answers.

-Sonia, what do you make of those?

-A's wrong.

Sunderland's near Newcastle, so I'm guessing it'll be on the River Tyne.

Josh, can you see anything wrong with those answers?

I think A is right. I think Sunderland's on the Wear.

Other than that, I'm struggling to pick any faults.

Janice, the moment of truth.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

Congratulations, Janice. You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

-That's a cracking start, isn't it?

-Isn't it? That surprised me!

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

Sunderland lies on the River Tyne. True or false?

We know that is false.

You're quite right, Josh, it lies on the Wear.

'Play' was a hit album in 2000 for Moby. True or false?

We now know it's true.

The Japanese drink sake is made using rice. That is of course...

..true.

And in polo, the stick may only be held in the left hand. That is...

..false. It must be held in the right hand, in fact.

Janice, as a result of that perfect performance,

you made winning the prize fund a lot easier.

This is your final board.

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

Let's take a look at the Final Round categories on offer -

starting with Thriller, onto Feet, with many more in between.

Because you won the round, you can choose two categories.

Which two would you like to choose to go into the final?

-Rivers.

-Rivers goes in.

And Feet.

Feet goes into the final. Thank you.

Usual Suspects, you didn't get a look-in, did you? See you in Round 2.

See you later.

Janice, what do you think of the categories on offer?

-Which did you most want to avoid?

-Probably Rugby Union.

And Madonna.

And Madonna. And a couple that you'll be choosing next?

-Scotland, Greek Myths.

-OK.

Great start to the game.

-Are you ready to play on?

-Yes.

Let's play Round 2.

Your 45 seconds start now.

-Yes, it is. That's true.

-True.

That's false. Somebody else's horse was called Copenhagen.

False.

I'm not sure at all about that.

-I'll say true.

-True. And finally...

I ought to know that one!

It's very certainly every ten years. That is false.

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

-That was handy, wasn't it?

-It was.

-Considering you research family trees!

-That felt like a good round, as well.

-We'll wait and see!

-OK!

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

These were the four statements and Janice's answers.

-Sonia, is it perfection?

-Unfortunately, it's not.

I think there's two that she's got wrong.

-Which two?

-I think A and D are wrong.

A and D, you think. Josh?

I have a recollection of Brad Pitt being with Jennifer Aniston.

I'm not sure whether that was before or after Gwyneth Paltrow.

I definitely think D's right, so perhaps perfection again, Janice.

John, what do you make of those answers?

She may just have perfection.

Well, a mixed bag there from the Usual Suspects.

Let's see if you've achieved perfection again.

Three out of four is a good score but it's not perfection.

You've let your enemies into the game.

Can you steal the round?

You need to change one answer, but which one?

Leveret is a young hare? It doesn't sound right to myself.

-I've never heard of a leveret.

-Do you want to change A, then?

Let's go for it.

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

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

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

A leveret is a young hare. True or false?

It's true. Usual Suspects, you've fallen at the first hurdle.

You had the chance to steal the round but failed to achieve perfection.

Let's go through the rest of the statements and answers.

I'm afraid you were undone there. A leveret is a young hare.

Napoleon's horse was called Copenhagen. True or false?

Yes, that is false.

It was Wellington's horse that was called Copenhagen.

Napoleon's was called Marengo.

Gwyneth Paltrow was Brad Pitt's first wife. True or false?

It is false.

They were engaged but never married.

Jennifer Aniston was Brad Pitt's first wife.

And the UK census is taken every five years. True or false?

Of course that is false. It's every ten years.

Had you achieved perfection,

you would have the opportunity to make Janice's chances much harder.

Let's have a look at the board. Two subject categories there,

but no more to add at the moment because neither side won the round.

The categories due to be chosen will be carried over,

meaning four categories will be on offer.

I'm going to switch you off for now. We'll see you in Round 3.

With four categories on offer,

-it'd be a cracking one to win, wouldn't it?

-It would.

Let's play Round 3.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-Yes, that's true.

-True.

That's false, I think.

False.

Ah, now, I think I've heard that that is true.

True. And finally...

Erm... I'm trying to think what is the capital of Malta.

I don't think it's Nicosia. False.

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

-Was that a good round for you?

-No.

-No. Uncomfortable in that one.

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

These were the four statements and Janice's answers.

Josh, is this the perfect board before you?

It might well be.

The only thing I'd question is whether Bobby Charlton scored in the World Cup Final.

Other than that, I'm not sure.

-Thank you. Sonia, any mistakes?

-I think she's got them all right, except for A.

Janice, let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four again. It's good but it's not perfection.

You've let your enemies into the game.

Can you steal the round? You can see Janice's answers.

-You need to change one of them.

-Are we happy to change A?

-Yes.

-I can't recall him scoring in the final.

-Let's go for it.

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

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

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

Bobby Charlton scored in the 1966 World Cup Final. True or false?

It's false. You're absolutely right. You know where this is going to go.

Let's just clear that up.

Geoff Hurst and Martin Peters were the scorers for England

in the 1966 World Cup Final.

All bees have only one eye. True or false?

That is false. They have three simple eyes

and two compound eyes.

Cars are not allowed on the island of Sark. True or false?

That's true.

Nicosia is the capital of Malta. True or false?

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Nicosia is the capital of Cyprus.

So the Usual Suspects have succeeded and stolen the round.

It's a little bit on the catastrophic side for you.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Janice's chances of winning a lot harder.

Let's see the final board.

Two categories already on there, chosen by Janice,

but because you won the round

you've earned the right to choose four categories to add to the board,

two from this round and two from the previous round.

Which four would you like Janice to play in the final?

-Would about Rugby Union?

-I thought that as soon as I saw it!

-Yes, please! We'll have that!

-Rugby Union goes across.

What about Volcanoes?

-We'll have Volcanoes.

-Difficult one, isn't it?

-It is.

-Volcanoes, please.

-Volcanoes goes into the final.

She probably hasn't researched Madonna's family tree, so...!

-We'll go for Madonna.

-OK.

-Go on, then.

-We'll go for Madonna, please.

-Madonna goes into the final.

One more, please.

I don't know many people who know a lot about volcanoes, Madonna and Greek myth.

Maybe Greek Myth?

-Yep. We'll go for Greek Myth.

-Greek Myth goes into the final.

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

Very well played. Time to switch you off for the final time.

Let's have a talk about those.

-You didn't want Madonna.

-No.

-Or Rugby Union. You got it.

-I did.

-You fancied Greek Myth, though.

-Yes.

-Volcanoes?

-Volcanoes, yes. Quite good.

OK. Well, Janice, for £2,000, it's time to play the final.

This is the all-important final.

If you can achieve perfection, you'll be leaving with £2,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing, which is great for them

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £3,000.

-You don't want that to happen.

-No.

-Let's play the Final Round.

-APPLAUSE

Here are your final six categories...

There's no time limit, but once you give your first answer, it's locked in.

-Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

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

-That is false.

-False.

Feet.

I'm really not sure if it's totally confined to the big toe.

-I'll say true.

-True.

Rugby Union.

I really haven't a clue but I think it probably was.

-I'll say true.

-True.

Volcanoes.

It sounds like it might be.

-I'll have to say true.

-True.

Madonna.

First UK No 1...

-False.

-False. And finally, Greek Myth.

Pandora had a box.

She wasn't supposed to open the box, but being a woman she couldn't resist it!

-Yes. I think that's probably true.

-True.

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

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

B, C,

D, E.

-Just those, then?!

-Yes!

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

Usual Suspects,

you can see the final six statements and Janice's answers.

Janice, your answers are locked in,

but if you think you made a mistake you can unlock them.

This will, however, come at a cost.

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

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

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

-John, please.

I think you've got one wrong,

but I'm not 100 percent certain about another one, as well,

so for that reason I probably would not come down.

-Probably wouldn't or wouldn't?

-Wouldn't.

-Thanks, John.

-Sonia, please.

-How confident are you on your questions?

I'm fairly confident on most of them.

Most of them. OK. I think there's at least two wrong,

but I'm not 100 percent sure so I'm out, sorry.

OK. Sonia's ruling herself out.

And Josh, please?

I can see one that I know you've got wrong,

but I'm sorry, I'm not confident about the others enough to come down.

-You're ruling yourself out, as well, Josh?

-Yes.

-OK.

The Usual Suspects aren't willing to help, so you're on your own. £2,000 at stake.

Let's find out if you have achieved perfection.

-Which one are you most worried about?

-Probably C.

You're most worried about C. OK. Let's get started.

Let's start at the top.

You confidently said A was false.

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

-It is false. Well played.

-APPLAUSE

It's just over 200 miles long, in actual fact.

A bunion is a deformity of the big toe. You said this was true.

Is that true or false?

-APPLAUSE

-It's true.

C is the one you were most worried about

so we'll hop over that and move onto D.

Mauna Loa is a large volcano in Hawaii.

You said that was true.

We need this to turn green to get you halfway towards the £2,000.

Is it true or false?

-APPLAUSE

-It is true.

So despite the Usual Suspects thinking you might have something wrong,

you're halfway towards the £2,000.

Madonna's first UK No 1 single was 'Holiday'. You said false.

If this turns red, you are only two away from the £2,000.

Madonna's first UK No 1 single was 'Holiday'.

Is that true or false?

-APPLAUSE

-It is false.

-Of course, you know which was her first UK No 1 single, do you?

-Erm, no!

Into the Groove in 1985.

We get to Greek Mythology.

In Greek Mythology, Pandora was the first woman.

You had a long think about this.

You said she opened a box because she couldn't help it, and said true.

If this turns green, you are one away from the £2,000.

If it turns red, the money rolls over for the Usual Suspects.

Is that true or false?

-It's true.

-APPLAUSE

What a good board that was. Five out of six.

-It doesn't look bad at the moment!

-It looks perfect at the moment!

We've got one more to deal with, the one that you were most worried about.

The first Rugby World Cup was won by Australia.

You thought that was likely to be true.

If this turns green,

you've won £2,000 without the help of the Usual Suspects,

despite them setting four categories to stop you.

If this turns red, you've fallen at the last hurdle,

you leave with no money

and the money rolls over for the Usual Suspects.

The first Rugby World Cup was won by Australia.

You said true. You need this to turn green.

Is it true or false

for £2,000?

DRAMATIC MUSIC

It's false, I'm afraid.

-Oh.

-Rugby Union fans will know it was won by New Zealand

because it took them a very long time to win it again.

I'm afraid it means that you haven't won the cash.

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

where one of you could be playing for a total of £3,000.

Janice, you only got three wrong in the entire game.

That's a fantastic performance. You should be very proud of that.

-I hope you enjoyed playing.

-I certainly did. Thank you.

Let's hear it for Janice, everybody.

Time to meet the next Usual Suspect hoping to play Perfection.

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hi, Nick. I'm Trisha from Largs and I work as a midwife.

Welcome to you, Trisha. Good luck to all of you,

as we find out who has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

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

-Sonia, welcome to the game.

-Thank you.

-You're a student at the moment.

-Yes, at Sheffield Hallam.

-You've got how many years to go?

-I'm going into my final year now.

-Excited to be finishing?

-It's sad.

I love uni but I have to enter the big bad world!

-You have to go and join in!

-You know, hit reality one day!

Good luck. It's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

They're now your enemies.

Nobody has won the last two games so the prize fund stands at £3,000.

APPLAUSE

Always handy when you're a student. Anything you'd put the money towards?

Just pay off some debts and do a bit of travelling, if I can.

Best of luck. Three rounds and a final to come.

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

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

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Let's play Perfection.

Round 1. Your 45 seconds starts now.

Erm, I'd say that was false. I think it's less that than.

False.

Venetian gondolas... I'd say true.

True.

-Yes, I watched it. It's true.

-True. And finally...

Arboreal... Erm, I'd say true.

I think 'arbor' has something to do with a park, so similar.

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

-That felt like a confident round.

-Let's hope so!

-Do you think you've achieved perfection?

-I hope so, yes.

-OK.

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

These were the four statements and Sonia's answers.

John, has she achieved perfection?

I'd possibly change D. I've never heard of the word arboreal.

Josh, anything wrong with these answers?

I'm going to disagree with John.

I think arboreal is to do with tree-dwelling. It may be perfection.

Trisha, can you see any mistakes in these answers?

I agree with Josh. There's perfection there.

The moment of truth. The Usual Suspects think you've done well.

Let's see how many are correct.

Three out of four is a good score but it's not perfection.

You've let your enemies into the game.

Can you steal the round? You can see Sonia's answers.

You need to change just one of them.

I know that C is right.

-C, definitely.

-I'm sure about D.

-'A' is definitely right.

-'A' is definitely right.

-So you're talking...

-Why would all Venetian gondolas be red?

-Any reason?

-That's what I thought.

-I'm thinking black.

-You think what?

Black, and the inside's red. I'm not sure.

-Let's go for the gondolas.

-The gondolas.

-I agree.

We'd like to change B, Nick, from true to false.

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

Let's find out what the answers are.

A sonnet traditionally contains 22 lines. Is that true or false?

It is false.

Only 14 lines. You were quite right, Sonia.

All Venetian gondolas are painted red. True or false?

It is false. In actual fact, they are all painted black.

You know where this is going now, don't you?

The film 'Eat Pray Love' stars Julia Roberts. True or false?

Yes, that's true.

Absolutely right. You knew that, as well, Sonia.

A tree-dwelling animal can be described as arboreal.

True. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved perfection.

They succeeded where you failed and stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you have the opportunity

to make Sonia's chances of winning the prize fund much harder in the final.

Sonia, this is your final board.

This six spaces need to be filled with categories.

Here are your Final Round categories -

starting with Thunderbirds, ending in Old Money, with many more in between.

Because they stole the round, they get to choose two categories,

hoping to make the final harder for you to win.

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

The Archers is a really old programme.

I don't think she'll know anything about The Archers.

-She's young, so maybe Old Money?

-I'm happy to go along with that.

-Old Money?

The Archers, Nick, we'd like to move on.

The Archers goes into the final.

-And Old Money, please.

-Old Money goes in, as well.

Well done, Usual Suspects. You won the first round. We will see you in Round 2.

-The Archers?

-I have absolutely no idea what they are!

-Old Money?

-No idea, as well, so...

So they've chosen well as far as they're concerned, not as far as you're concerned.

Which two will you be choosing if you get the opportunity?

Books, because I like to read, and Technology.

-Which two are you keen to avoid?

-Mountains. I'm bad with geography!

Physics, as well.

You still have two more chances to find perfection

and choose your categories.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Then, let's play Round 2.

Your 45 seconds start now.

I don't think it's acrophobia. False.

False.

Erm... I think that's true.

True.

I don't know who that is. I'll take a complete guess.

-True.

-True. And finally...

I'd say that was true, as well.

-True?

-Yes.

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

-It didn't feel as confident that time.

-No, no.

I studied Sylvia Plath at school

but I can't remember if The Bell Jar was one of her novels.

But I'm sure A doesn't sound right.

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

These were the four statements and Sonia's answers.

-Josh, is it perfection this time?

-It could well be.

The only one I'd possibly question is 'Did Mansell drive for Ferrari'.

-Trisha, what do you think?

-It is a tricky board.

I think there's one, possibly two wrong.

-Which ones?

-C and D.

Interesting. John?

Same again. I'll go with Josh.

I don't think C... I can't remember Nigel Mansell driving for Ferrari.

Sonia, you need to have answered perfectly to have won the round.

Let's see how many are correct.

Three out of four is a good score again.

Consistent, but consistently not perfection, I'm afraid.

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

You can see Sonia's answers. You need to change one. Which one?

-OK, vertigo is a fear of heights, is it not?

-Yes. So that's false.

D - she's right The Bell Jar is by Sylvia Plath.

-That's definitely right. It's between B and C.

-I think C.

Did Mansell drive for Ferrari? What are the others?

-McLaren?

-Williams... McLaren, I think, he drove for.

I'm edging towards B, maybe.

I think it might have anchovies in it.

-Might it?

-Really?

It does taste a bit vinegary, like anchovies do, sort of thing.

-If you two...

-THEY LAUGH

I'm edging towards B now as being the one that's wrong.

-I'm edging towards C, me, but...

-I think I'll go with C.

-C?

-OK. All right, then.

-We'll go with C, then.

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

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

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

Acrophobia is a fear of heights.

True or false?

It's true. Usual Suspects, you've blown it at the first hurdle.

You failed to steal the round from Sonia and you failed to achieve perfection.

Let's go through the rest of the answers.

Let me just deal with that. Acrophobia is the fear of heights.

Vertigo causes dizziness. It isn't actually a phobia.

Worcestershire sauce typically contains anchovies. True or false?

That's true.

Nigel Mansell once drove for Ferrari.

Is that true or false?

That's true, as well.

He did actually drive for Lotus and he drove for Williams,

but he also drove for Ferrari in 1989 and 1990.

'The Bell Jar' is a novel by Sylvia Plath. True or false?

Yes, that's true.

Well, Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection,

you would now have the opportunity to make Sonia's chances of winning much harder.

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

Because neither side won the round,

the categories due to be chosen will be carried over,

meaning four categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, you had a chance to nick that.

I wonder how you'll do in Round 3 if you get a look-in. Away they go.

With four categories on offer in this round,

it'd be a great one to achieve perfection.

You've done well so far. Two rounds of three-out-of-four.

-I just need to get practical now.

-Are you ready for the next round?

-Yes.

Let's play Round 3.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Erm... I'll take a wild guess and say true.

True.

Sweet lokum... Erm...

I'll say false. I'm not sure about that one.

False.

False. I've never seen Carrie, but a complete guess.

False. And finally...

I think I've heard that somewhere.

-Yes, true.

-True. You've answered all four statements.

-How did that round feel?

-All right. I think it's a little bit better than the second round.

-You think so.

-I'm confident.

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

These were the four statements and Sonia's answers.

-Trisha, has she achieved perfection?

-I think B is possibly wrong.

-Josh, what do you think?

-She hasn't got perfection.

John Travolta did appear in Carrie so I'm afraid that's wrong.

As for the others, I've got a friend in Laos

but I'm not sure whether it's got a Pacific coastline. It might not have.

Sonia, let's find out how many are correct.

-Just one out of four.

-Oh, dear!

-Going in the wrong direction.

Certainly not perfection. You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

You can see Sonia's answers. You need to change three of them.

-What about D?

-Milk of magnesia is an antacid.

-Everything else changes? Happy with that?

-Brilliant, yes.

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

'A' changes from true to false.

-B from false to true...

-B from false to true.

-..and C from false to true.

-And C from false to true,

leaving D as answered by Sonia. Thank you.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

Laos has a Pacific coastline.

Is that true or false?

It's false. In actual fact, it's landlocked.

'Sweet lokum' is better known as Turkish Delight? True or false?

That's true.

John Travolta appeared in the horror film 'Carrie'.

Is that true or false?

True.

Milk of magnesia is used to treat stomach upsets.

Is that true or false?

Yes, it is true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

The Usual Suspects succeeded where you failed and they've stolen the round.

You now have the opportunity to make Sonia's chances of winning about as hard as it can be.

Let's see the final board. There are two categories on there.

Because you won that round you've earned the right to choose the next four categories,

creating a clean sweep.

Which four would you like from the board?

-What about Physics?

-I was thinking that, as well!

What about Thunderbirds? She's young.

-We'd like to put Physics over, please.

-Physics goes in.

And she is a girl -

-maybe Thunderbirds!

-Thunderbirds, I think.

-We'd like to put Thunderbirds over.

-Thunderbirds goes into the final. Two more.

-Wine?

-Hm...

-Pests is a bit of a strange one.

-Pests. That's a good one.

-OK.

-We'd like to put Pests over, please.

-Pests goes across.

How about Books? That's so wide. It could be anything.

-Books.

-Let's go for it.

-That's fine.

-We'll put Books over, please.

Books completes the final list. We now know our six categories. They are...

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

-Didn't want Physics and they chose that for you.

-No.

You wanted Books, though. You would've chosen that.

I think the last two - maybe.

The first four - I'll have to be really lucky to get these right!

OK. Well, Sonia, for £3,000, it's time to play the final.

This is the all-important final.

If you can achieve perfection, you could be leaving with £3,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing, which is great for them

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

-Let's play the Final Round.

-APPLAUSE

Here are your six final categories...

There's no time limit, but once you give your first answer, it's locked in.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

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

The Archers.

OK, well, I've never heard of The Archers.

I'm going to have to take a wild guess.

I'm going to say true. I think...

-True.

-Yes.

Old Money.

Tanner... I've heard that before.

I'm not sure if it's for a shilling. I think it's for another amount.

-I think I'll go with false.

-False.

Physics.

I'll say...

..false. I don't think...

False.

Thunderbirds.

I've watched a few episodes in my life of Thunderbirds and not really paid attention.

Gordon Tracy, I think, is the blond puppet.

I'll say true.

True.

Pests.

Erm, I'll take a wild guess

and say, erm, true.

True. And finally, Books.

Dick Francis. I've never heard of him.

I'm not a big cricket fan, either.

I'll say, erm...

-..false.

-False.

Sonia, those answers are locked in. If there's a mistake, you leave with nothing.

-Which ones are you worried about?

-All of them!

-There's nothing strong on there?

-Not really, no.

They've picked a good bunch of questions! We'll see!

-It was always going to be tough, wasn't it?

-Yes.

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

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

Your answers are now locked in. You can't change them by yourself.

But if you think you made a mistake, you can unlock them with their help.

This will, however, come at a cost.

Sonia, who would you like to hear from first?

Can I hear from Trisha first, please?

I think you've done well but there's two I'm not sure of,

therefore, this time, I wouldn't come to help you. Sorry.

-Definitely ruling yourself out?

-I'm ruling myself out.

OK, Josh, please.

Hi, Sonia. I think we've given you some real stinkers there!

I've got to rule myself out straight away. I'm sorry.

OK. And John, please.

Sorry, Sonia, I think you know what I'm going to say.

You've got a tough category there,

and I'm not confident on a few of them

so I will have to rule myself out.

Our Usual Suspects aren't willing to help, so you're on your own.

£3,000 at stake. Six answers away.

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

We'll start at the top.

'Barwick Green' is the theme tune to 'The Archers'.

-To be fair, you said you'd never heard of The Archers.

-No!

So this was a complete guess. You said true.

If this turns green, you know your luck's in and you're on your way to £3,000.

If it turns red, you've fallen at the first hurdle

and the Usual Suspects have achieved their goal of tripping you up.

Is it true or false?

-It's true. Well done.

-APPLAUSE

A 'tanner' was another name for a shilling.

You said you didn't think it was a shilling.

Is that true or false?

-It's false.

-Yay.

-APPLAUSE

It was another name for a sixpence. Well done. Two-out-of-two so far.

In science, a pascal is a unit used to measure heat.

You said this was false, as well.

If this turns red, it's a poke in the eye for the Usual Suspects

and you're still on your way to the £3,000. In fact, you'll be halfway.

So, in science, a pascal is a unit used to measure heat. True or false?

-It is false.

-APPLAUSE

It's a measure of pressure, in actual fact.

Nervous yet, Usual Suspects?

-Slightly!

-A little bit, aren't they?!

We are only halfway. But so far, so good.

Let's press on. Thunderbird 1 is piloted by Gordon Tracy.

-You vaguely remember watching it.

-I used to watch it with my brothers.

Gordon Tracy sounds familiar so I'm guessing he's the pilot.

OK. If this turns green, you're only two away from £3,000.

If it turns red, the money will roll over for the Usual Suspects.

Thunderbird 1 is piloted by Gordon Tracy. True or false?

-It's false, I'm afraid!

-Oh!

-AUDIENCE GROAN

It was flown by Scott Tracy in actual fact.

You haven't achieved perfection and you won't be going home with the cash.

Perhaps you can achieve perfection at home. Let's have a look through the statements.

The boll weevil damages cotton crops. You said that was true.

Is it true or false?

It is true. Well done there, as well.

Dick Francis novels often centre around cricket.

Is that true or false? You said false.

-It is false!

-Oh!

He was a crime writer.

So look at that board, Sonia. Five out of six,

in what the Usual Suspects described as a rotten board.

They set you as difficult a board as they could.

I'd say that was some kind of performance to be proud of.

Usual Suspects, good 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 think it's fair to say, Sonia, they're full of admiration for you and your efforts.

So am I and I think the audience are, too.

You go home with our thanks for being such a good contestant.

-I hope you enjoyed the process.

-I've had a great time. Thanks for having me.

-Let's hear it for Sonia, everybody!

-APPLAUSE

Sadly, that's all we have time for. Join us next time

when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play again for £4,000.

Remember, on this show, we only pay for absolute perfection.

-Goodbye.

-APPLAUSE
