Episode 60 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz that demands Perfection.

These 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, my name's Wayne, I come from Bournemouth in Dorset,

I'm a company sales manager and this is my first game.

Hello, I'm Louis, I'm from Yorkshire, I'm a teacher

and this is my second game.

Hi there, I'm Stewart, I live in Glasgow,

I'm an administrator for a training provider and this is my third game.

Hi, I'm Cheryl, I live in Stockport,

I work in manufacturing and this is my seventh game.

Welcome to Wayne, on his first game.

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

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

-Wayne, welcome to the show.

-Thank you.

Let's find out more about you. It's unusual for you to be next to a bloke,

-because at home you're very much in the minority.

-Oh, yes! Yes, yes!

I've got a beautiful wife and four fantastic daughters.

-Do you think they gang up on you?

-They do.

I've got a six year old and she runs the house!

LAUGHTER All done with good fun.

Normally, I'd ask about your spare time,

but with that many daughters, I guess you don't have a lot.

The bit of time I do have, I try and play a bit of poker.

-Do you? Are you any good?

-Well, I like to think so.

Got a bit of a poker face, have you, for these Usual Suspects?

They're your enemies now, you realise that, don't you? Best of luck to you, Wayne.

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 three games

so the prize fund currently stands at £4,000.

APPLAUSE Lovely.

A very pleasant sum of money. What would you spend it on?

I'd love to go on a cruise. We've talked about Disneyland.

Good luck. Here's how it 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.

You'll only have 45 seconds.

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

-Do you understand?

-I do.

-Good. Then, let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1. Your 45 seconds starts now.

I thought that Cyril was Liberal,

-so I'm going to say false.

-False.

Er...

My wife loves Formula 1. Erm...

-True.

-True.

-False. He was...

-False.

-Yes.

-And finally...

I know Danny Boyle...

-True.

-True.

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

You were going to give me a bit more information on Tenzing Norgay and decided not to.

I thought he was a Sherpa that climbed Everest.

Before we reveal how well you've done,

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

These are the four statements and Wayne's answers.

Cheryl, has he achieved perfection?

I didn't know Nigel Mansell did IndyCar. I thought he just did F1. I would've said that was false.

-Louis, what do you make of those?

-I'm sure he's correct on the first three,

so possible perfection.

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

Let's see how many are correct.

Congratulations, Wayne, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

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

Cyril Smith was a Labour MP for 20 years. You thought he was a Liberal. You said that was false.

It is, of course, false, because he was a Liberal MP.

Nigel Mansell is a former IndyCar champion. You said that was true.

It is...

..true. As well as being a Formula 1 driver and champion.

Tenzing Norgay is the president of Nepal. You said false.

It is, of course, false.

He was a Sherpa that helped in the ascent of Everest.

Finally, Shallow Grave was directed by Danny Boyle.

You said that was true. It is, of course, true.

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

This is your final board.

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

Here are your final-round categories appearing,

starting with Toys, through Sailing, Games Shows and onto Philosophy.

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

-Which two would you like?

-Human Body.

-Human Body goes across.

-There's quite a few there. UK Birds.

-And UK Birds.

The Usual Suspects didn't get a look-in. You might do in Round 2,

and that's when we'll see you next. Cheerio. Away they go.

So, which two on the list would you like to avoid?

Philosophy is definitely going to be one that I would cringe at.

Er... Turkey. I'm not going to be very good at that, either.

You mentioned, "There are quite a few there..."

and it sounded like "There were a few there I like".

I've been throwing a few bum steers.

I'm not very good at sport and I keep on saying, "What's the football scores?"

to make sure that if sport came up...

Behind the scenes! Very clever! That's the poker player in you, isn't it?

OK, Wayne, you've made a great start to the game.

-Let's play Round 2.

-APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

Er, a spelunker...

-True.

-True.

-False.

-False.

The Camargue, erm... River delta region in France...

The Camargue... The Camargue... True.

Watch the time. True. And finally...

-True.

-True.

With time to spare, you've answered all four statements. You had me worried there.

That didn't feel quite such a confident round.

I'm a bit worried with the spelunker.

Whether it's something to try and attract them out, I was going on that.

And C - I'm a bit dodgy on that.

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

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

Stewart, has he achieved perfection?

I think A and D are wrong.

I think a spelunker is just a made-up word.

OK. Louis, what do you think?

I think he's got D correct,

but a spelunker, to me, sounds very German.

It doesn't look like something to do with cockles.

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

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

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You need to change just one answer, but which one?

-I'd go for A.

-BOTH: Yes?

-Me, too.

We'll change A from true to false, please.

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

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

A spelunker is someone who farms cockles. Is that true or false?

That is false.

You're absolutely right. You picked the one to change.

It's someone who explores caves.

The New Model Army fought in World War II. True or false?

That is false. A Parliamentary army in the English Civil War.

The Camargue is a large river delta region in France. Is that true or false?

That's true.

Monet is famous for his paintings of water lilies. Is that true or false?

That's true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Well, Wayne, our Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed and they've stolen the round.

Let's look at the final board.

The first two categories have been chosen by Wayne,

but you've earned the right to choose the next two categories.

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

-What do we think?

-Philosophy looks hard.

-Yes?

-Can we move Philosophy over, please?

-Philosophy moves into the final.

Do you think he knows anything about Sailing?

Too busy playing poker.

He's got children so he might get Toys and DJs.

-I would still go for Sailing.

-Is that OK? Yes?

-We'll move Sailing, please, Nick.

-Sailing goes across.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you won the second round. We'll see you in Round 3.

-Again, now that they've gone, let's talk about that. You didn't want Philosophy.

-No.

-Sailing?

-I'm from Bournemouth. We've got Weymouth round the corner. Just had the Olympics there.

-I'm not too worried.

-You've got half a chance.

You still have one more chance to find perfection and choose your own categories.

-Let's play Round 3.

-APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

No, that's a musical instrument, I think, erm, percussion.

-False.

-False.

Er...

Did he actually sing in the film? I'm going to say false.

False.

Er... Llamas come from South America,

-so false.

-False. And finally...

Er, snap, sugar snap... Snow peas... Snow peas...

-True.

-True.

-What do you think of that round?

-I'm quite confident, really.

I'll look silly if Frank Sinatra was singing in The Godfather,

but, erm, no, I'm quite confident with that.

Before we reveal how well you've done,

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

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

Louis, what do you make of those?

I have heard the expression 'snow peas' before.

You'd imagine that to be some sort of white pea,

and mangetout isn't really like a white pea.

-Stewart, what do you think?

-I would agree with Louis. I think snow peas is incorrect.

-Cheryl?

-Same. I've never heard of snow peas.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

Congratulations, Wayne, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

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

Marimba is a yoga-based work-out.

You said that was false. We now know it to be false.

You said it was an instrument, didn't you? It's like a xylophone.

Frank Sinatra starred in The Godfather. We now know it to be false.

He wasn't, although there was a character written in -

Johnny Fontane - rumoured to be based on Frank Sinatra.

Llamas are native to Asia. True or false?

That is, of course, false. They're South American, as you said.

Snow peas is an alternative term for mangetout. True or false?

That is true. More commonly used in America.

"Snow peas" they refer to them as, almost always in that accent!

Wayne, 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.

Two chosen by you, two by the Usual Suspects.

Because of that fantastic performance,

you get to add the last two categories.

-Which two do you fancy?

-As Louis said, I have children,

so I'm going to go for Toys.

Toys goes across.

-Game Shows.

-Game Shows goes into the final.

We now know our six final categories.

It's time to switch off the Usual Suspects for the last time.

Away they go. Wayne, for £4,000,

-it's time to play the final.

-APPLAUSE

Wayne, this is the all-important final.

If you can achieve perfection, you could be leaving with a prize fund of £4,000.

If you fail, it would be great news for the Usual Suspects,

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

-So let's play the final round.

-APPLAUSE

Wayne, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements perfectly if you want to win that £4,000.

There is no time limit, but once you've given an answer, it's locked in.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Good. Let's reveal your first statement.

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

Human Body.

-True or false?

-Right...

I thought a septum...

..was this bit here.

Sorry. Erm...

Or is it that bit there?

I will say...

..true.

True.

UK Birds.

I don't know. I thought I knew about UK birds. Chiffchaff...

I would say that a lot of them have...

True. I'm going to go true.

True.

Philosophy.

My only, erm, reference to philosophy is, erm, a song,

a Monty Python song, which I'm trying to think, that Eric Idle sang.

It's...

True.

True.

Sailing.

SIGHS That wasn't in Weymouth!

I have actually heard of the Kon-Tiki.

False.

False.

Toys.

It couldn't have been a girl's toy, could it, that I could've...?!

Erm, Lego...

"I build"...

-I'll say true, Nick.

-True.

And finally, Game Shows.

I can't remember Jim Davidson doing it.

Erm...

No, that's false, Nick.

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

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

-Which ones are you worried about?

-I'm worried about the chiffchaff.

I haven't a clue if it's got a black head. I haven't a clue on D.

I've never heard of Thor Heyerdahl.

To be honest, it's probably not the best of rounds for me.

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

Usual Suspects, you can see the final six statements and Wayne's answers.

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

If you think you've made a mistake, you can unlock the board.

This will, however, come at a cost.

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

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

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

-Erm, Cheryl, please.

How do you think you've done?

I'm quite confident.

There's one which I would feel that I would need a bit of help on.

-OK.

-What does that mean, Cheryl?

I'm going to have to say I can't help you, I'm sorry.

-All right. Cheryl's ruled herself out.

-OK.

Erm, Stewart, please.

I think you've possibly got two wrong.

I'm not really sure enough about them to be able to help you,

-so I'm going to rule myself out.

-Stewart's out of the equation, too.

Louis, what's your thoughts?

I'm really sure that you've got three right there.

There's one that I think is wrong.

I know you think the same. We might be thinking of the same one.

Does that mean that you're prepared to come down?

I would come down for two for you, two for me.

He's asking for £2,000 of your £4,000.

I'm happy with the split.

-Yo!

-So, you're coming down, then, Louis?

-Yes.

OK, for £2,000 of the £4,000 prize fund,

-please come down and join us.

-APPLAUSE

OK, Wayne, you asked Louis for help.

If you achieve perfection, it'll cost you £2,000 of your £4,000 prize fund.

Louis, what are you going to spend the money on?

I think that would pay for a lovely holiday next summer for me and the kids.

Lovely. And £2,000 for you, Wayne.

2,000 will go a long way to that cruise I'm looking for in Disneyland.

This is important to both of you. Here are the final-round statements.

All six answers are now unlocked.

Louis, which answers do you want Wayne to change?

I think that you have chosen me as a scientist

and you're worried about A, but A is correct.

Septum just means central division.

But the one that I thought I would change would be Pluto.

-Is that Pluto or Plato?!

-Plato, yes! "OK, Mickey!"

I did read a book about philosophy and it was later on, it was about in the middle!

THEY MUMBLE

You've read a book, so that puts you streets above me on philosophy.

If you turned round to me and said, "It's Descartes"

I would say, "Yes, it is" and 100 percent change it.

Descartes! I think it was! Yes.

-Yes.

-Rene Descartes?

-I would change C.

Erm, chiffchaff... Ever seen one of them?

I know it's got different-coloured feathers,

brown ones, white ones, things like that, but I'm not sure.

I think that's right.

When you said you were confident of five of the six,

-how accurate was that?

-Probably not as confident as I led to believe!

But my real problem is D.

-I've not... I've never... T-That's the major one for me.

-OK.

Crossed the Pacific... The Pacific's huge!

..in the Kon-Tiki. I think that's false.

-I just know it's a Nordic name and the Pacific's massive, but I don't know.

-OK.

-Are you ready to make your changes?

-I think we're ready.

-OK.

-I hope I haven't lost it for you.

-No, no.

-You get to make the choice.

You can change anything, nothing, all of them, some of them.

Please can you change C from true to false?

C changes from true to false. Is there anything else?

No. Lock them in. Lock those answers in. Thank you.

Your answers are now locked in. £4,000 at stake - £2,000 to Wayne and £2,000 to Louis.

Six answers away. Let's find out if you've achieved perfection.

Let's put you out of your misery, because you only changed one.

We can find out whether it was worth bringing Louis down to help you or not.

Plato said, "I think, therefore I am".

You ummed and ahhed about this one, went backwards and forwards,

and finally screwed up your courage and decided to change it to false.

Let's find out straight away whether it was a good idea to change it or not.

Is it true or is it false?

It is false!

APPLAUSE DROWNS OUT SPEECH

And now it's your fault if we get this wrong!

And it was Rene Descartes.

Ohh! Good! Good!

Let's go to the top, now that we know it was worth bringing Louis down.

Humans have a septum in their nose. You were quite confident on this.

Louis came down and confirmed that that was correct.

Is that true or false?

Yes, it true.

APPLAUSE

Good start. The male chiffchaff has a black head.

Now, Wayne, you said this was true, although you weren't really sure.

Louis came down to say that the male is quite colourful,

but were happy that it probably had a black head so you stuck with true.

If this is correct, you're halfway to the £4,000.

If you're wrong, you've blown it at this stage

and the money rolls over into the next round for the Usual Suspects.

The male chiffchaff has a black head. Is that true or false?

It's false!

-D'oh!

-Its head and body are olive brown.

-OK.

Unfortunately, that means you failed to achieve perfection

and you won't be taking any money home on this occasion.

I wonder whether you can still achieve perfection at home.

Thor Heyerdahl crossed the Pacific in the Kon-Tiki.

You stuck with false when Louis came down.

Is that true or false?

It's true, in actual fact.

The name Lego translates from Danish as "I build".

Wayne, you said that sounded likely. Is it true or false?

That's false, as well.

-It comes from Danish, but it means "play well".

-Oh. OK.

OK. Jim Davidson presented The Generation Game.

Wayne, you said this was false. Louis was happy to stay with false.

Is it true or false?

-Oh!

-It's true.

LAUGHTER

From 1995 to 2002.

-Seven years.

-Missed it.

We've been nicked! "Nick, nick, nick!"

It's all about achieving perfection, and that ain't it!

Not so good, I'm afraid.

Two things happened there. Louis, you took a huge punt,

-and, Wayne, you bluffed enormously in saying you knew five out of six.

-You knew five of them, yes.

Usual Suspects, that's 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.

You've started analysing where it all went wrong, haven't you?

You failed to achieve perfection.

You go home with our thanks for being great sports.

-Louis and Wayne, everybody.

-Thank you.

APPLAUSE

Time to meet the next Usual Suspects hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspects, please introduce yourselves.

Hi, my name's Lewis, I live in Manchester and I work in marketing.

Hi, I'm Sue, I'm from Lewes in East Sussex

and I'm a retired teacher.

Good luck to both of you. Best of luck to all of you,

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

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

-Sue, welcome to the game.

-Thank you.

-Let's find out about you.

-You make wine.

-I do.

Me and my husband have got lots of fruit trees,

so we make use of them and turn them into wine.

-Who's quality-control tester on it?

-Er, both of us.

-You both have a go.

-Oh, yes!

-Very nice of a summer's day.

-In the garden. Lovely.

Sue, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your teammates, they're now your enemies.

No-one has won the last four games

so the prize fund currently stands at £5,000.

APPLAUSE

That's a lovely chunk of cash, isn't it?

What are you going to spend £5,000 on if you win it?

I'm hoping to give some to a local charity

for disabled people, and it's run by disabled people.

It's also my parents' diamond wedding,

so I'm hoping to put some of it towards a family get-together.

-That'll be nice. Very good luck.

-Thank you.

Three rounds to come and a final.

Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off for now.

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

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Then, let's play Perfection.

Round 1. Your 45 seconds start now.

Absolutely no idea, never heard of it, I'm going to say false.

False.

Mm... Ronald Reagan was an actor. I'm not sure about...

I don't think he was in Casablanca so I'm going to say false.

False.

I've been to Brazil. Big country.

I'm not sure. I think I'll go false again.

False. And finally...

No, he definitely wasn't. He was anti-slave trade,

so I'm saying false.

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

-Did that feel like a good round?

-No. It felt terrible!

-Did it really? You sounded confident.

-Well, mm...

-Mm.

Before we reveal how well you've done,

time to bring back those Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements and Sue's answers.

-Cheryl, is this a perfect board?

-I wouldn't like to say.

I've just had a guess.

-Lewis, can you cast any light?

-I don't think it's perfection. I'm sure C is wrong.

I think Brazil shares a border with nearly every country in South America.

Sue, you need to have answered all four statements perfectly to win the round.

Let's see how many are correct.

Three out of four's a good score, but it's not perfection, which means you've let the Usual Suspects in.

Can you steal the round? You need to change one of Sue's answers, but which one?

-You were quite convinced on the Brazil one.

-I'm pretty sure it does.

-I have a feeling Brazil shares a border with all but one. I'd go with C.

-C?

-Me, too.

-Can we change C from false to true, please?

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

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

Korfball is played using a racquet. Is that true or false?

It is false.

It's similar to netball and basketball, so it's played with the hands.

Ronald Reagan appeared in Casablanca. True or false?

It's false.

He was considered for the role but never appeared in it.

Brazil has a border with Suriname. Is that true or false?

That's true. Well played, Lewis. You know where this is going now.

William Wilberforce was a British Prime Minister. True or false?

It's false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

William Wilberforce led to the movement to abolish the slave trade, but was only an MP.

Sue, this is your final board.

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

Here's your final-round categories, starting with The Amazon, ranging through Sci-Fi, Athletics,

Textiles and onto Flags, with many more in between.

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you,

they get to choose the categories, hoping to make the final harder.

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

-Anyone got any?

-I would say Sci-Fi

-because it's more a boy's thing, generally.

-Is it?

Ooh! Controversial!

-Maybe Flags. I'm not too sure.

-OK.

-Lighthouses.

-What do we think about Lighthouses and Flags?

-Is that OK with everybody?

-I'm happy with that.

Can we move Lighthouses and Flags, please, Nick?

Lighthouses goes into the final and so does Flags.

Well done, Usual Suspects. It's time to switch you off.

We'll see you in Round 2.

Sue, what about those categories - Lighthouses and Flags?

Well, Lighthouses could be anything, I'm not too bothered about that,

-but Flags...

-Not a good one.

-Not a good one!

Which two would you like to choose, given the opportunity?

-Sci-Fi, I would actually quite like.

-Right.

-Mythology.

Mythology. Which two are you desperate to avoid?

Athletics!

And probably Motoring.

Well, you still have two more rounds to find perfection

and choose your own categories.

-Ready for the next round?

-Yes.

-Then, let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

I'm not sure about that.

-I'm going to go true.

-True.

I definitely know that. That's true.

True.

That's a difficult one.

I'm going to go true.

True. And finally...

-I have a feeling that's true, as well.

-True.

With time to spare, you've answered the round with a whole bevy of trues.

-Happy with that round?

-No!

-Still feeling a little uncomfortable?

-Yes.

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

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

-Stewart, what do you make of those?

-I think she's got two wrong.

Laurence Olivier's voice wasn't used in Star Wars,

and people were collecting records before the word disc came about

so I think that's wrong.

-Cheryl, has she achieved perfection?

-I think discophile's wrong.

I think it's someone who collects CDs.

OK, Sue, let's find out how many you've got correct.

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

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

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

-I don't remember Laurence Olivier in Star Wars.

-He didn't do a voice on R2-D2 or anything like that?

C-3PO? No?

-I think we all thought D was wrong.

-I think it's A, actually.

-BOTH: Do you think?

-Doubt all over now!

-Yes.

If you can't come to an agreement, you go by majority.

If you can't come to a majority, Cheryl, as the longest-serving Usual Suspect, you get to decide.

-Can you reach a majority?

-What do you want to do?

-I'd go D.

-I'd go with A.

I'm going to go with D. Sorry!

Majority rules. D from true to false, please.

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

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

Laurence Olivier's voice was used in Star Wars. Is that true or false?

It's false. That's the one you were looking for. Stewart was right.

James Earl Jones did actually voice Darth Vader.

You haven't achieved perfection. I wonder whether you can achieve perfection at home.

Boz was an early pen name for Charles Dickens. True or false?

That's true.

True vampire bats feed solely on blood. True or false?

That's true, as well.

Which means, a discophile collects gramophone records, true or false?

That's actually true.

Let's have a look at that board. Two categories chosen so far.

Because neither side won the round, the two categories will be carried over to the next round,

meaning four categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, you missed your chance.

You might get a chance in Round 3. You might not. In the meantime, I'm going to switch you off.

-Sue, with four categories on offer, the next round would be a good one to win.

-Yep!

-Ready to play the next round?

-Yes.

-Good. Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-I think that's true.

-True.

Absolutely no idea!

-I'm going to say false.

-False.

-That's definitely true.

-True. And finally...

It wouldn't surprise me because they have quite a lot of tribes,

-so I'm going to go true.

-True.

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

-Did that feel like a good round?

-It felt a little bit better.

I'm not sure of B. I've never heard of that before.

All right. Let's find out what the Usual Suspects have to say.

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements and Sue's answers.

-Lewis, has she achieved perfection?

-I think she's done well. That's more or less what I'd answer.

I would quandary D slightly, though. I'm not sure what an official language would count as.

-Stewart, what do you make of those?

-I think A is possibly wrong

because the Wars of the Roses were against the monarchs,

and then there was the 100 Years' War, but I'm not sure about that.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

Congratulations! You have achieved perfection, Sue.

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

The 100 Years' War was before the Wars of the Roses.

We now know that to be true.

Camogie is the female version of Gaelic football. You said false.

It is, of course, false.

It's the women's version of hurling.

Tapestry is an album by Carole King. You were sure of this one.

It is true.

South Africa has more than six official languages.

That is, of course, true.

Let's look at the final board. Only two categories on there.

But because you won that round, you've earned the right to choose the next four -

two from this round and two from the previous round.

Which four would you like to take into the final?

-I think I'll go for Mythology.

-Mythology goes across.

-Jewellery.

-Jewellery goes in.

-Sci-Fi.

-Sci-Fi is the penultimate subject category.

-And the final?

-Despite what I said about Motoring,

I don't like the others, so I'll go for Motoring.

Motoring goes into the final two.

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

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

Sue, with four out of the six chosen by you,

-you should be in with a chance here.

-Hopefully.

For £5,000, it's time to play the final.

This is the all-important final.

If you can achieve perfection, you could be leaving with £5,000.

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

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £6,000.

-Let's play the final round.

-APPLAUSE

Sue, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly if you want to win the £5,000.

There is no time limit, but once you've given an answer, it'll be locked in.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

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

Lighthouses.

I live near Beachy Head!

I don't think it's called the Eddystone Lighthouse.

-I'm going to go false.

-False.

Flags.

I'm just trying to picture it because it's been on the TV.

I don't think red's in it so I'm going to go false.

False.

Now to the subjects you chose for yourself.

Mythology.

No, I don't think they were.

I think they lured people in ships, so I'm going to go false.

False.

Jewellery.

Mm, I know he worked in Russia, but I've a feeling he was French

so I'm going to go false.

False.

Sci-Fi.

-Yes, I'm pretty sure it was. I'm going to go true.

-True.

And finally, Motoring.

My son would know the answer to this, he's mad on cars

so if I get it wrong, he's going to be so cross!

-True.

-True?

-Yes.

Sue, those answers are locked in.

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

The last one, F, and A and B.

-F, A and B.

-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 Sue's answers.

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

If you think you've made a mistake, you can unlock them.

This will, of course, come at a cost.

-Who would you like to hear from first?

-I'd like to hear from Cheryl.

It's a really hard board, to be honest.

I know one. I wouldn't have the foggiest on the others.

I couldn't help you, I'm sorry.

-OK. Thanks.

-I think Cheryl's out!

-Definitely!

-Stewart.

-I think you've got at least one wrong for sure,

and there's two others that I'm not confident enough about

to come down and help you.

No? OK. Lewis?

-How confident are you?

-I'm pretty confident on three-quarters of them.

What's that - four?

Would you be prepared to come down?

I think I would be, but I want quite a lot.

-I think I'd want £4,000.

-Ooh!

My money's going to charity

and you want to rob my charity of that money!

The total prize fund available for you to play with is £5,000.

Lewis would like £4,000 of it to come down.

How about £3,500?

Erm... No. Sorry.

OK. I'll take it on my own, then.

You'll take it on your own. OK.

There's a certain point you weren't prepared to cross.

-I was prepared to tempt him a little bit but...

-But not that much.

So you're going to go on your own. £5,000 at stake, six answers away.

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

Before we get started, we can talk about it openly, Lewis,

which ones would you have changed if you would've come down?

I'm pretty sure the colour red does feature on the Egyptian flag.

I think it's red, white and black.

I'm pretty sure Faberge is Russian.

Whether he was born there, I don't know, but I would've changed B and D.

Let's start at the top.

The Eddystone Lighthouse is near Beachy Head.

You said you lived near Beachy Head and it's not called the Eddystone.

-There is a lighthouse nearby.

-There definitely is.

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

It is false. Very well done.

The Eddystone Lighthouse is in the West Country,

and Beachy Head is in East Sussex.

The colour red features in the Egyptian flag.

Now, this is interesting, because if Lewis had come down he would've changed it.

-Do you think you would've listened?

-Probably, because I don't know!

So this might've changed it for you. Let's find out.

Is it true or false?

Yes. I'm afraid it is true.

Lewis is right.

Red, white and black horizontal stripes.

Maybe you can still achieve perfection at home. Let's have a look at the answers.

The Sirens were an army of female warriors.

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

It is false.

They were half-female, half-bird creatures

that lured sailors to their deaths.

-Not much of a career, is it?

-Not really!

Move onto D. The jeweller Peter Carl Faberge was born in Russia.

Lewis would've tried to talk you around on this one.

You said false.

Is it true or false?

-It's true.

-They're the two he would've helped me on!

Those are the two he would've helped you on.

You'd be all correct at this stage if Lewis would've come down.

The film Metropolis was directed by Fritz Lang.

You said true. Is it true or false?

It's true. You'd have been five out of six at this stage.

The Ferrari Enzo is the world's fastest car.

-You said if you got this wrong, your son would be unhappy.

-Very.

-He's knows about cars.

-Yes.

You said true. If this turns green, you should've got Lewis down.

-I should've done.

-You'd be walking away with £1,000. He'd have had £4,000.

Is it true or is it false?

It's false. It didn't matter. Phew!

You would've got all the way to the end and lost it in the final throes.

You would've almost come down, Lewis.

You were thinking you should've done, weren't you?

The third one I might've changed would've been that one.

-Is that all?

-I would've talked about it.

-You would've.

There you go, you see. You've got to grasp these opportunities.

Let's clear that last one up.

-The Ferrari Enzo is one of the fast cars, but there are many cars thought to be faster.

-Yes.

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

where one of you could be playing for a total of £6,000.

I wonder, Lewis, though, whether you will consider that an opportunity lost.

Sue, you failed to achieve perfection.

-You go home with our thanks for playing such a great game.

-I've had a great time.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Let's hear it for Sue, everybody.

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

when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play again for £6,000.

But remember, you have to be brave if you want to win the cash

and we only pay for perfection.

-Goodbye.

-APPLAUSE
