Episode 59 Perfection

Welcome! Behind this screen are four contestants

who'll be hoping their knowledge is flawless,

because one single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

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 one has been randomly selected

to join me here 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,

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. I'm Jenny. I live in Ilford.

I'm a semi-retired teacher, and this is my first game.

Hello. My name is Amar. I am from London.

I am a student at City University, and this is my third game.

Hi. I'm Dave from Retford. I'm currently in between jobs,

and this is my sixth game.

Hi. I'm Julia. I'm from Southampton,

and I'm a retired teacher, and this is my sixth game.

Welcome to you all, especially Jenny, playing her first game.

Best of luck, as we find out which of you has been randomly picked

to play Perfection.

Jenny! It is in fact you. Please come and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

-Jenny, welcome to the game.

-Thank you.

-Straight out to play!

-I know!

-It's you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your teammates very briefly.

They're now your enemies. Their job is to stop you from winning the prize fund,

because your failure will mean it rolls over to the next game,

where one of them could play for a bigger total.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Here's the good news. Nobody won the last game,

so the prize fund currently stands at £2,000.

APPLAUSE

So, what would you spend £2,000 on if you left here with it?

My daughter now lives in Texas,

so I'd be over to see her as soon as I could,

-and do some good American shopping.

-That's a very good idea.

£2,000 would probably get you there and a bit of shopping, as well.

So, good luck. 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.

If your performance is less than perfect, the Usual Suspects step in

and may steal the round, making the final much harder.

Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off for now

so you can't see or hear anything.

Each round consists of four true or false statements.

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

-And once you've given your first answers, they'll be locked in.

-Yes.

-Let's play Perfection.

-APPLAUSE

Round one. Your 45 seconds start now.

I think I've heard of that, so I'd say true.

True.

-That's true.

-True?

-Yes.

Yeah. I've read some of her books. Yeah.

I thought it was mainly India,

so, um, I think that's false.

False. And finally...

Billy the Kid... Hmm...

-I've a feeling that one is also true. True.

-True?

And you answered all four. How was that as a round?

-Um...

-Good, bad or indifferent?

-Not too sure about Billy the Kid.

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

These were the four statements, and next to them are Jenny's answers.

Julia, is that a perfect round, do you think?

The only one that I'm worried about is D.

Was he shot or was he hanged? I don't know.

-Amar, what do you think?

-I'm not sure about A,

because I've never heard of the lindy hop.

OK. Jenny, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly.

Let's find out how many are correct.

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

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

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

-You need to change one of them. Which one?

-The lindy hop is a dance.

-I've seen that on television.

-We'll go for D, I think.

-D?

-D.

-Yes.

Could we go for D, please, change it from true to false?

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

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

The lindy hop is a type of dance. Is that true or false?

It is true. To be honest, Amar, you could be four times your age

and not be around when the lindy hop was happening.

The novelist PD James is a woman. Is that true or false?

That is true.

The River Ganges flows mainly through Pakistan.

Is that true or false? That is false.

It flows mainly through India, but also through Bangladesh.

Billy the Kid was tried for murder and hanged. Is that true or false?

It is false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

-You have achieved perfection.

-APPLAUSE

Billy the Kid was actually famously tracked down and shot

by his one-time friend Pat Garrett.

Usual Suspects, that's good news for you.

You now have the opportunity to make Jenny's chances of winning the fund

much harder in the final. Jenny, this is your final board appearing.

The six blank spaces need to be filled with categories.

Here are your final-round category choices,

starting with Police Force and finishing in Tiddlywinks,

with many more in between. If you had won that round,

you could have added two categories of your choice,

but because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you,

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

So, which two would you like Jenny to play in the final?

I was thinking the top two, Police Force and Rugby Union.

Yes. Rugby Union I would have thought was a good one. What else?

What about Concept Albums?

Yes. Shall we go for those? Is that OK?

-Yes.

-Yep.

-OK. Rugby Union, please.

-Rugby Union goes into the final.

-And Concept Albums.

And Concept Albums. Well done, Usual Suspects.

Time to switch you off. We'll see you in round two.

Jenny, with the Usual Suspects gone, we can have a chat about those.

-Do you follow Rugby Union at all?

-I watch a little bit of rugby,

but I don't know if I'm very good at their names or anything.

What about concept albums?

Well, actually I'm a big fan of music of the '70s and '80s.

That's quite handy. Take a look at those options on the left there.

Which two will you be choosing, given the opportunity?

-Possibly Best-Sellers.

-Mm-hm.

Um, also, maybe, even Poets is another one.

Poets. And which two were you desperate to avoid?

Er, I don't know if I know much about tiddlywinks.

Is there a lot to know about tiddlywinks? I don't know, really.

-And one other?

-Possibly Celebrities.

OK, Jenny. It's only the first round.

You have two more to find perfection and choose categories for the final.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Then, let's play round two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

I don't think it's Wordsworth,

so I'll say that's false.

False.

Haven't a clue.

Mama Do The Hump, Rizzle Kicks... True.

True?

Lake Como... That's true.

True. And finally...

Definitely false. It's a guitar.

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

-How did that feel?

-I don't really know about Mama Do The Hump,

but I think I might like to. That sounds like good fun.

It sounds like fun, does it? Before we reveal how well you've done,

it's time for us to bring back the Usual Suspects.

These are the statements, and next to them are Jenny's answers.

-Dave, has she achieved perfection?

-I think C is wrong.

-I might change that to false.

-Amar, what do you think?

-Er, same, but also I wasn't sure about D.

-OK.

-Julia, what do you make of those answers?

-She's done really well,

but I expect B she's rather guessed,

because I've no idea what the answer to that is.

Interesting! Jenny, the moment of truth.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

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

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

You can see Jenny's answers. You need to change one of them.

-Which one is it?

-I know B's definitely right.

Oh, well done! Youth on the team, that's the answer.

-C, I wasn't sure about.

-I thought it was in Italy.

-Oh, right.

-We could try and change C.

Yeah, cos I know the Fender is a guitar, so that's cool.

We want to change C, please, to false.

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

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

Ode To A Nightingale is a poem by Wordsworth.

Is that true or false?

Yes, that is false. By Keats, in actual fact.

Er, Mama Do The Hump was a UK single by Rizzle Kicks.

Is that true or false?

Absolutely true, as both Amar and Jenny knew.

Lake Como is located in Switzerland. True or false?

Yeah, that's false, in actual fact. Very well done.

It is in Italy.

And the Fender Stratocaster was a 1950s American car. True or false?

Yeah, it's false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

The Fender Stratocaster is, of course, a classic American guitar,

first made in 1954. Let's see the final board.

Two categories on there chosen by you already,

and because you won the round, you've earned the right

to choose the next two. Which would you like Jenny to play in the final?

-Do you think your Police Force is a good one this time?

-Yes.

I think Police Force. The other one...

I think Mad Max or Animation.

-I think Mad Max would be a good one.

-I was thinking exactly the same.

Yes. Could we have, please, Police Force...

-Police Force goes across.

-And Mad Max.

And Mad Max. Thank you very much, and congratulations.

You've won the second round as well as the first.

I wonder how you'll do in round three?

That's when we'll see you next. Cheerio!

Well, they've gone, so we can talk about it. Police Force?

Who knows? Everybody knows a little bit about the police, don't they?

That's true. Mad Max?

Mad Max... I have watched the movies, but a long time ago,

so it depends how well the grey cells are working. Yeah.

You still have a chance to find perfection and chose the categories,

-so that has to be the way forward.

-Yes.

-Let's press on and play round three.

-APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

Not Cornwall. Um, false.

False.

I think that's definitely true, that one.

-They do live in a sett, yeah.

-True.

I think that's to do with light, so that's false.

False. And finally...

I don't... I'm not too sure about that one, but I'll say true. True.

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

You flew through the first three, then had a long think about D.

I haven't heard of the film, so I don't know.

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

These were the four statements, and next to them are Jenny's answers.

-Amar, has she achieved perfection?

-Er, no, she hasn't.

I definitely know that D is actually false,

because the director is actually Ben Drew,

which is also known as Plan B.

Interesting! Dave, what do you make of those answers?

She's done very well there. I was worried about D as well,

so that's the only possible one I'd change.

Jenny, you need to have answered all four perfectly

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

Three out of four! You're so consistent!

-But you're so consistently not achieving perfection.

-I know!

And you've let the Usual Suspects in again!

Are they going to steal the round one more time?

You can see Jenny's answers. You only need to change one of them.

-D.

-D. We're all agreed. We'll change D to false.

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

Dorchester is a town in Cornwall. Is that true or false?

Yeah. That's false. In Dorset.

The home of a badger is called a sett. Is that true or false?

Yeah. That's absolutely true.

In physics, a candela is a unit of weight.

You said this was false, and it is false. You're quite right.

It's a unit that quantifies the intensity of light, as you said.

Ill Manors is a 2012 film directed by Richard Curtis.

Is that true or false?

It's false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

-You have achieved perfection.

-APPLAUSE

Ill Manors was, of course, directed by Plan B.

You now have the opportunity to make Jenny's chances of winning the fund

as hard as they could be, really. Let's see the final board.

Four categories on the final already chosen by you,

and because you won that round, you now make it a clean sweep by adding two more.

-So which two would you like?

-You thought Animation might be good.

-Yes.

-Yeah.

-Shall we go for that one?

-Animation sounds good.

-And just out of interest,

I'd like to see what the tiddlywinks question is!

I was going to say exactly the same. Tiddlywinks.

-So, OK. Tiddlywinks.

-Tiddlywinks goes into the final.

-And Animation.

-And Animation.

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

OK, guys. It's time to switch you off for the final time.

Well played. So, Animation?

Well, who knows? I've watched a few in my time.

You weren't overly keen on getting Tiddlywinks,

-but, as you said, how many questions can there be?

-I don't know.

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

Jenny, this is the all-important final.

You could be leaving with a prize fund of £2,000.

If you fail, you'll be leaving with nothing,

which will be great news for the Usual Suspects,

as one of them could be playing for £3,000 on the next game.

-Let's play the final.

-APPLAUSE

Jenny, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six correctly. Think carefully.

There's no time limit, but your first answer will be locked in.

-You understand?

-Yeah.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

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

Rugby Union.

I've never heard of The Stoop before.

I can't make any connection between Leicester and The Stoop.

-I'm going to say false, but I don't really know.

-False?

-Yeah. Mm-hm.

-Concept Albums.

Do you know, I've still got two copies of this?

They're... One I kept, so it's in perfect condition,

and the other I play. So, um, that's definitely true.

True.

Police Force.

I've watched a few police dramas in my time,

and I think the Superintendent always gets to boss the Inspector about,

so that's true.

True?

Mad Max.

I'm sure Max Miller was, um...

-a comedian, so that one's going to be false.

-False.

Tiddlywinks.

A squidge-off!

I've got a vague memory of a squidge-off.

Was it in tiddlywinks?

I'm going to say true cos I just want it to be true.

-It's such a good term. I'll say true.

-True?

-Yeah.

Animation.

I've occasionally watched Family Guy. I'll guess true,

-and that's a pure guess on that one, so...

-True?

-Yeah.

With that answer, those answers are now locked in.

-Which ones are you worried about?

-The last one I don't really know,

and the first one I don't really know.

I just want a squidge-off to be a tiddlywinks term.

I think it's a lovely term.

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

You can now see the final six statements.

Next to them are Jenny's answers. Jenny, they are locked in.

You can't change them by yourself, but you can unlock them

with the help of the Usual Suspects. This will, however, come at a cost.

Who would you like to hear from first?

Amar, let's hear what you've got to say.

There are two or three which I'm not sure about,

so unfortunately I won't be coming down to help you. Sorry.

Thank you. If you're sure, yeah. What do you think, Julia?

I'm afraid I'm stuck on two of them.

I'm really not sure enough on those two

to come and share the money with you. Sorry.

-Dave?

-How confident are you?

Confident about four. Not so confident about two.

Yeah. I'd be interested in coming down to help you.

-For how much, Dave?

-Er, I think an equal split's fair.

So, Dave's asking for £1,000 of your £2,000 prize fund.

I'd like to accept your offer.

If you'd like to come down and help me, that'd be great.

OK. Negotiations appear to be at a close.

Dave, for £1,000 of the £2,000 on offer,

please come and join us.

OK, Jenny. You've asked Dave for help.

If you achieve perfection, it will cost you £1,000

of your potential prize fund of £2,000.

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

This is your only shot. Have you made the right decision?

I think we're about to find out. I'm just going to check with you -

£1,000. What would you spend that on?

-I'm going to spend it on records.

-Of a particular type of music?

-Er, yeah. I'm an ageing punk.

-Punk!

-Yeah, yeah.

-You pogo around the living room still?

-Er, yeah, occasionally.

LAUGHTER

Excellent. And what will you be spending the £1,000 on, Jenny?

The trip to America, hopefully, to Texas.

To go and see family, your daughter. All six answers are now unlocked.

Dave, which answers do you want Jenny to change?

Er... Well, actually I was bluffing a bit.

-AUDIENCE GROANING

-So which ones are you sure on?

-Well, like... You probably know B.

-Yes.

We know that one's true. I was looking for your help

in A and F, really.

HE SIGHS

The wife was born in Leicester.

So she'll kill you if you don't get this one.

-I've never heard of The Stoop.

-So it's possibly false?

And the last one, Family Guy.

-Never watched it.

-SHE LAUGHS

Well, I haven't either, so there we go.

So, just to be sure that we understand this, Dave,

when you said you could come down and help,

-essentially you were...

-I was bluffing.

OK. Well, look, the board is open,

which means that you can, if you want to,

change any, all, none, some, whatever you want to do.

I think I'll just leave them as they are.

Leave them as they are. All right. Your answers are then locked in.

-Don't do that first one first.

-Don't do the first one first?

No, no.

All right, then. £2,000 at stake, £1,000 to Jenny

and £1,000 to Dave, six answers away.

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

You don't want us to start with A,

so we'll hop over it and go to B instead.

Tommy is an album by The Who. Jenny said this was true.

Is it true or is it false?

It is true. Very well done.

-APPLAUSE

-Good start.

Superintendent is a higher rank than Inspector.

Jenny, you felt this was true. Is it true or false?

It is true. Very good. Very good indeed.

And D, in the Mad Max films, Max's surname is Miller.

Now, you thought, Jenny, Max Miller was a comedian,

so you went for false on this. Is it true or is it false?

-It is false.

-APPLAUSE

-His surname was Rockatansky...

-Ooh!

-..oddly enough.

Max Miller, of course, is a comedian and actor.

Three out of three. Halfway through. Halfway towards the £2,000

and £1,000 each. Then we come to E,

which, er, Jenny, you said you just so want to be true.

What are the chances? Tiddlywinks is started with a squidge-off.

Is that true or false?

-It is true!

-APPLAUSE

The squidger is the larger disc used to propel the smaller discs.

-I remember now!

-Oh, it's all going tickety-boo, tiddlywinks. Yeah.

You're two thirds of the way to the money, but the two that matter,

F and A, you knew that they were going to be guesses

-to a certain extent, cos you just didn't know.

-Definitely.

So, Seth MacFarlane is the creator of Family Guy.

You said this was true.

Is it true or false?

It's true!

OK. So, look at where we are! Five out of six

without having changed anything. The question is now,

we go back up to the top.

The truth is, Jenny, you don't know, cos you don't follow the rugby.

Luckily, Dave's wife actually comes from Leicester.

Unluckily, Dave never checked with her

to see whether Leicester Tigers play at The Stoop.

So agreed that it might not be connected to Leicester Tigers.

It all rests on this one. You said false.

Is it true or false,

for £2,000?

It's false! Congratulations! You have achieved perfection

and won £2,000!

-Thank you!

-Congratulations.

-Ooh, another one.

-Yeah. Congratulations.

Very well played between the two of you.

Six out of six. Let's talk about the Leicester Tigers.

The Stoop is the ground of Harlequins,

which is just by Twickenham in London,

and Leicester play at Welford Road. So, there you go.

Well, that's very bad news only for two people,

and that's the Usual Suspects. The prize fund has been won,

so we reset the total back to £1,000 for our next game.

Congratulations, Dave and Jenny. You both leave with £1,000.

Let's hear it for them, ladies and gentlemen!

-Fantastic game. Very well played.

-Thanks.

Right! It's time to draw breath and meet the next Usual Suspects

hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspects, please introduce yourselves.

Hi! I'm Rob, I'm from Hertfordshire, and I'm a teacher.

Hi. I'm Liam, I'm from Manchester, and I'm a student.

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

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

Rob, it's you! Please come and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

-Rob, welcome to the game.

-Thanks, Nick.

That's the second time that's happened in this show.

Straight in and straight down to play.

-I hardly sat down, and here I am!

-Yeah, and off we go!

Let's find out a bit more about you. You paint?

Yeah, I paint. I'm an art teacher, an art-and-design teacher,

and I paint as much as I can in my own time,

and I've sold a fair number of paintings, strangely enough,

but yes. So hopefully that will continue.

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

They were extremely briefly your teammates.

They're now very definitely your enemies.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Unfortunately for you, the previous game was won,

so the prize fund is reset to £1,000.

-But nonetheless, £1,000, as they say, is £1,000.

-Absolutely.

What will you spend it on if you win?

I would like to put it towards my own art studio.

It wouldn't go the whole way, but it would go a long way towards renting a studio

Very good. Best of luck with it. Three rounds and a final to come.

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

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

-Are you ready?

-Absolutely fine. Yeah.

-Let's play Perfection.

-APPLAUSE

Round one. Your 45 seconds start now.

Yes, I believe that's true. It's the same director.

True.

I believe it is in that state, yes. I think that's true.

True.

Can't say I ever watched Grange Hill, but Mr Chipping sounds...

It could be, so I'll say true.

True. And finally...

I can see them skipping along now. Yes, I think they do. Yes.

-So you are saying...

-I'm saying it's true.

-True.

Thank you very much. That felt like a confident round.

Apart from C. I'm not a Grange Hill expert,

-but we'll see if it's right.

-Before we reveal how well you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

These were the four statements, and next to them are Rob's answers.

-Julia, has he achieved perfection?

-I think he might have done.

I'm a bit unsure on one or two of them.

I think Prometheus might have been a prequel rather than a sequel,

but again, unsure.

Amar, what do you make of those?

I'm not too sure about D, to be honest,

and also C I wasn't sure about either.

Liam, can you see anything wrong with those answers?

My attention's drawn towards B.

I think the Pentagon's in a much larger city or state.

-I'm not sure what Virginia is.

-Rob, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four perfectly.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Just two out of four. You didn't manage perfection.

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

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

You need to change two. Which two will it be?

I am stuck on these. I do think the lizards can run on the water.

I've seen ones that do it, so...hopefully that's the one.

I'm not sure about B or C.

I'm more drawn towards B being in a bigger state.

-B?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

So, we've got two to change. We change - what? B and C?

-Yes.

-B and C. I'm happy with that.

Bit of a guess, but we'll go for it.

We'll try B, changing that to false, please.

-B changes from true to false.

-Yeah.

-And C.

-C changes from true to false, leaving A and D as answered.

Thank you. Let's find out what the correct answers are.

The film Prometheus is a sequel to Blade Runner.

Is that true or false?

It's false, I'm afraid.

Prometheus is a prequel to Alien, not to Blade Runner.

But it's definitely a prequel. Can you achieve perfection at home?

The Pentagon is located in Virginia. Is that true or false?

Yeah, that was true.

The first Grange Hill headmaster was Mr Chipping.

Is that true or false? Yeah, that's false.

Mr Starling was the first headmaster.

And basilisk lizards can run on the surface of water.

Is that true or false? Yes, that's actually true.

Rob, this is your final board.

The six spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are your choice of final-round categories,

starting with Stephen King and on to The Wire,

with many more in between. Because neither side won the round,

the two categories that were on offer

will now be carried over to the next round,

meaning four categories will be available.

Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you off.

Rob, now they've gone, let's talk about those potential categories.

Which two would you choose, given the opportunity?

Well, I suppose I've got to say The Artist.

Maybe World War II, and maybe China.

OK. And two you're quite keen to avoid?

Stephen King... I know a bit about some of his books.

-TV Aliens, probably.

-OK. You ready for the next round?

-Absolutely.

-Then, let's play round two.

Your 45 seconds start now.

-I'd say...false.

-False.

Not sure how...

-That rings a bell for some reason. I'm going to say true.

-True.

Nagasaki...

Er...

-I think false.

-False. And finally...

I think false. It's not a slipper, as far as I know.

Thank you. In the allotted time, you've answered all four statements.

-Was that a good round?

-Not brilliant.

Before we find out whether it's brilliant or not, let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Liam, can you find anything wrong with them?

Honestly, I don't think so, no. I think he's got perfection,

-and I think he's done a good job.

-Julia, what do you think?

-Is it perfection?

-I seem to remember John Wayne being Shirley Somebody,

but I could be wrong. Could be somebody else.

And are earwigs insects?

If they're insects, some species would have wings,

-because insects do have wings.

-Rob, let's find out how many are correct.

-Three out of four. It's a better score than the first round.

-Yep.

-But it still isn't perfection.

-No.

As a result, the Usual Suspects are back in the game.

Can you steal the round? You only need to change one answer.

-But which one?

-When you said Shirley,

-it rang a bell in my mind.

-But was it somebody else?

I think Marion... Something about Marion.

I think it is Morrison. It's Marion that doesn't make sense.

Well, as it rang your bell with you, we'll try changing B, please.

B changes from true to false,

leaving A, C and D as answered by Rob.

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

Many species of earwig have wings. Is that true or false?

That's true! Usual Suspects, you've failed to achieve perfection,

and you haven't nicked the round from Rob!

Can you achieve perfection at home? Let's deal with the rest.

John Wayne's birth name was Marion Morrison. Is that true or false?

Yeah, that's true. Shirley might have been Shirley Crabtree,

-who was Big Daddy...

-Oh, yes.

-..the wrestler.

That might have been what you were thinking about.

Kendo Nagasaki is the Prime Minister of Japan. Is that true or false?

Yes, that is false, and whilst we're talking about Big Daddy,

Kendo Nagasaki was a wrestler as well.

A "glengarry" is a type of traditional tartan slipper.

Is that true or false?

It's false.

It's a brimless type of hat.

So, let's take a look at the final board.

Here we are at the end of round two, and still no categories to add!

Because neither side won that round,

the four categories will now be carried over to the next round,

meaning six categories will be on offer.

I'm going to switch you off, and we'll see you in round three,

where I hope you do better, or you might not get a look-in.

See you then. So, obviously, with all the categories for the final

-all resting on this last round...

-Absolutely.

-..this is the one to get perfection.

-It's the big one.

-It's the big one!

-Why not?

-Let's play round three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

Again, a film I don't know, but I'll say true.

True.

No, it was later than that. That's false.

False.

Yes, it is, so I'm pretty sure that's true.

True. And finally...

No, there were a few survivors. Not that many, but there were some.

-Um, so that's false.

-False. Thank you very much.

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

That sounded like a very confident round.

-Well, more so than the previous one.

-So you're in with a chance here.

You never know. Strange things happen.

Before we reveal exactly how well you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Well, these were the four statements,

and next to them are Rob's answers.

Er, Liam, has he achieved perfection this time?

I think C is actually false.

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

-Amar, what do you think?

-I don't think he's had perfection,

-because I'm not sure about D.

-All right.

Rob, you need to have answered all four statements perfectly.

-We'll see.

-Yeah. Let's find out how many are correct.

Congratulations, Rob! You have achieved perfection!

APPLAUSE Strange things DO happen!

Very good. Let's have a look at those statements

and the answers in more detail.

Ryan Gosling starred in the 2011 film Drive. You said it was true,

and it is true. The Berlin Wall was erected in 1951.

You said that was false, and it is false.

Erected in 1961, a bit later. Absolutely right.

The Grand Canyon is over 100 miles long.

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

And the Charge of the Light Brigade had no survivors.

That is, of course, false.

So, Rob, as a result of that perfect performance,

you've made winning the prize fund a lot easier.

Let's have a look at your final board. You won that round,

so you've earned the right to choose the next six categories -

two from this round and four from the previous round.

Fire away. Which six would you like to put in there?

Well, I guess I have to put The Artist in...

-The Artist goes across.

-..whatever that turns up.

-And World War II.

-World War II.

-Let's have a go at China.

-China goes in.

-Politicians.

-Politicians moves across.

-Two more.

-I'll put Cricket across.

-Cricket goes in.

-I'll have a go at Kids' Books.

Kids' Books goes across.

OK. We now know our six final categories.

They are...

It's time to switch off the Usual Suspects.

Well, Rob, I mean, choosing your own categories,

-you've only got yourself to blame if you don't win.

-Absolutely.

For £1,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

This is the all-important final. You could be leaving with a prize fund

of £1,000. If you fail, you'll be leaving with nothing,

which will be great news for the Usual Suspects,

because one of them could be playing for a rollover of £2,000 on the next game.

So, let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Rob, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six correctly if you want to win the £1,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit,

-but your first answer will be locked in. Do you understand?

-Absolutely.

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

The Artist.

OK... Not to do with artists. I thought it might be, or art.

Um... The Artist.

It's a completely random guess.

-I'll say true.

-True.

World War II.

-True or false?

-I think Overlord was the code name

for the D-Day invasion. I'm going to say false.

False. China.

I've a feeling it's not.

Um, I'm going to say false. I don't think it is.

False. Politicians.

Right...

That's going back quite a long way, when she was acting.

I don't think she won two. I'm going to say false.

I think if she won any, it was probably just the one.

-False.

-I'm saying false.

Cricket.

No. I was watching him on the telly not very long ago.

Well, he's... Actually, has he played in the past?

He's a New Zealand... Sorry. He's a South African bowler,

fast bowler, but then he might have done in the past.

-I'm going to say true.

-True.

Kids' Books.

Yes. I know quite a few of the Dr Seuss books

from many years ago, and that's one I do remember,

-so that's true.

-True.

Those answers are locked in. If there's one single mistake,

-you leave with nothing. Which ones are you unsure of?

-A.

I don't know The Artist,

and, um, Uggie's someone I've never come across.

Um, Woo... That's...

..I'd almost say an educated guess. I'm not sure how educated it was,

to be honest, but, um, those two I'm sure about, yeah.

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 Rob's answers. Rob, your answers are locked in.

You can't change them by yourself, but you can unlock the board

with the help of Usual Suspects - at a cost.

-Who would you like to hear from first?

-I think Amar.

To be honest, I wouldn't be helping you at all,

because I would be as useless,

so, er, I won't be coming down, then. Sorry.

OK. Thanks, Amar. Julia?

Well, I think two are probably wrong,

but I'm wavering on whether I actually know the right answer

to them or not. So I'm sorry. I can be of no help.

-I can't assist you.

-That's interesting.

-Liam, please.

-I can see two that I think are wrong,

but to get me down would be nine tenths of the prize money,

so I'd only come down for £900.

OK. I'd want at least half, so it would be 50-50.

-£500 each, is what you're saying?

-£500 each, Nick, yes.

For £500 and to forfeit my place, I'm not confident enough. I'm going to call myself out. No.

-Definitely calling yourself out?

-Yeah, I'm out now.

-Thanks, team.

-Negotiations appear to be over.

None of the Usual Suspects are willing to help. You're on your own. £1,000 at stake, six answers away.

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

This is where we say to Liam, "It's all right to say now."

You can come clean. Are there two that you think wrong,

-or were you bluffing?

-No, I was actually being truthful.

-I think C and D are both true.

-C and D are both true.

-Yeah.

-That's interesting. All right. Look,

let's get started, shall we? The dog in The Artist is played by Uggie.

You weren't aware of what The Artist was?

-Er, no.

-It's a film.

-Yes, but I haven't seen it.

-Silent film.

-Yeah.

-You thought the dog might be called Uggie.

You said it was true. Is it true or false?

-It's true. Very good start.

-APPLAUSE

Operation Overlord took place in North Africa.

You believed Overlord wasn't in North Africa.

-You thought it might be the D-Day landings.

-I thought it might be.

So you said false. So, is it true or false?

-It's false. Very well played.

-APPLAUSE

And it was the official name of the Allied landings in France.

Very good. Woo is the most common surname in mainland China.

Now, Liam thought this might be wrong.

You thought it was false. He thought it might be true.

Is it true or is it false?

It's false.

Wang, Zhang and Li are the most common names in mainland China.

So, here you go - on your own, halfway to the money.

So, Glenda Jackson has won two Oscars.

Liam worried about this one as well. You said this was false.

Is it true or is it false?

It's true, I'm afraid.

It's true, which means you have not achieved perfection,

and you will not be leaving with the cash.

Women In Love and A Touch Of Class

were the two films that she won Oscars for.

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

Dale Steyn has played cricket for New Zealand.

You said he plays for South Africa, but you took the word "has played"

in a great deal more depth, I think, than was necessarily intended.

As a result, you thought maybe he played for New Zealand,

so you went for true. Is that true or false?

It is false. He plays for South Africa.

So, finally, Green Eggs And Ham is a book by Dr Seuss.

Er, you said this was true. Is that true or false?

It's true. Very well done. So, in the end there,

you got four out of six. Usual Suspects, that's good news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game,

where one of you could be playing for a total of £2,000.

APPLAUSE

You failed to achieve perfection, so you go home with nothing.

Thanks for being a great player. Hope you enjoyed the experience.

-It's been wonderful. Thank you.

-Let's hear it for Rob!

That's all we have time for today

and that's all we have time for this series.

Thank you for watching. See you soon, and remember,

on this show, as you saw in the first game,

we will only pay for absolute perfection. Goodbye.
