Episode 8 Perfection

Welcome to the show that demands nothing less than perfection.

Behind this screen are four contestants who will be hoping their

knowledge is flawless, as one single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

Hello, hello, and welcome to Perfection,

the quiz show where only perfect play is good enough.

Behind me are the contestants. We call them the Usual Suspects.

They're in our isolation room.

In a moment, we'll find out which one of them

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 the planet Mars has two moons,

would you say that's true or false?

If you said true, I can tell you - you'd be right.

Answering true or false might seem easy, but if the contestant

gets a single answer wrong, their opponents, the Usual Suspects,

will be allowed into the game to capitalise on their mistakes.

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

Hi, my name's Veleen.

I'm from London, I'm a vocalist and this is my first game.

Hello, my name's Al, I'm from Halifax.

I'm an archaeologist and this is my second game.

Hi, I'm Grace, I'm from Essex.

I'm a student social worker and this is my third game.

Hello, my name is Michael.

I live in Ramsgate, I'm a retired electronics technician

and this is my fourth game.

Best of luck as we now find out

which one of you has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Grace, it's you.

Please come and join us to play Perfection.

Grace, welcome down. Are you looking forward to playing?

-I am, yes.

-Let's find out a bit more about you.

-You are a social work student?

-Yes, I've just done a year of my degree.

So I'm still studying to be a social worker.

Why choose to go into that particular line?

Probably all the travelling I did.

I was away from England for about seven years,

met some very interesting people, which showed me that

there was a need for social workers in the world. There you go.

Very good, that's good work.

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

They were your team-mates, they're now your deadly enemies.

Their job is to stop you winning the prize fund.

Every failure, your failure in particular, now,

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

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

You don't want that, you want to walk off with the cash.

I definitely do, yes.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Here's the good news. Nobody's won the last four games,

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

APPLAUSE

-Good money.

-A great afternoon's work, if you can walk off with it.

-Exactly, yes. Let's hope I can, yes.

-Here's how the game works.

You'll play three rounds and then a final.

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

However, if your performance is anything less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects will have a chance to step in

and steal the round, making the final harder for you.

-More on that later.

-Yeah.

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

so you can't see or hear anything. Away they go.

Each round consists of four true or false statements.

You will be answering against the clock.

You will only have 45 seconds and, once you've given your first answer,

-it will be locked in. Right, ready?

-I'm ready.

Big breath? Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1, your 45 seconds starts now.

I haven't got a clue.

But I think that would be right so I'm going to go true with that one.

True.

-Again, I don't really know, but I'm going to go true, I think.

-True.

That sounds like it would be right.

-But, for some reason, I'm going to put that one as false.

-False.

I do actually think that's true.

-I think I've heard that somewhere, I'll go true with that one.

-True.

Good use of your time, it's just about run out.

But you have answered all four statements. How was that?

It was quite hard. There's not really any I would say I definitely know.

Before we reveal how well you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and, next to them are Grace's answers.

Michael, kick us off. Has she achieved Perfection?

I'm not sure about B. That could be false.

Al, how many has she got wrong?

-The Old Spot could be a pig, I think.

-OK.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly

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

-Two out of four.

-OK.

As a result of not achieving Perfection,

you have let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal this round?

You can see Grace's answers, you need to change two of them.

Which two is it going to be?

John Major was only Chancellor for about three years.

-Yeah, I think B.

-We'll change B from true to false.

B is changing from true to false, good.

-This pig?

-What do you two think on that?

-I think we should change.

-Yeah, it is a pig.

-It rings a bell.

-We'll change C from false to true.

C is changing from false to true, leaving A and D as Grace answered.

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

If the statement turns green, it's true. If it turns red, it's false.

Olympic gold medals are made mainly from silver. Is that true or false?

It is true.

John Major was Chancellor longer than he was Prime Minister.

Is that true or false?

It is false.

He was Chancellor for 13 months,

but he was Prime Minister for over six years.

Quite a difference, in actual fact.

The Gloucestershire Old Spot is a breed of pig. Is that true or false?

It is true. It means you know where this is going, Usual Suspects.

The twins Jedward have an older brother named Kevin.

Is that true or false?

It is true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Grace, I'm afraid they managed to succeed where you failed.

-I know, they did well.

-They did. They've stolen the round.

-They have.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Grace's chances

of winning the prize fund much harder in the final. Here's how.

Grace, this is your final board appearing in front of you.

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

Here are your final round categories.

Starting with Borders, running through

Dallas and Lead Singers.

If you had won that round, you would have the opportunity of adding

two categories of your choice to that final board.

But, because the Usual Suspects won the round from you,

they choose the two categories,

hoping to make the final that much harder for you.

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

How about Heraldry? That's a hard one.

-And maybe Borders?

-Heraldry, please.

Heraldry goes across into the final.

-Borders?

-OK, Borders, please.

And Borders goes into the final. Thank you very much.

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

Time to switch you off, but we will see you in Round 2.

-Heraldry?

-Won't have any idea, so they've picked a good one for me.

-They know I'm not going to know anything about that.

-Borders?

I'm guessing it's borders between countries.

-I'm hoping that it's going to be.

-You've done a bit of travelling?

So I might have an idea.

All right, looking at those ones on the left, which ones would you like

to choose yourself, if you get the opportunity?

I probably would have to go

Lead Singers and maybe Words.

-Which ones do you want to avoid?

-Hitchcock, definitely.

I've never watched any of the Hitchcock films.

And Politics. As you can probably tell

from the last one, I have no idea about politics.

It's only the first round, you still have two more to find Perfection

and choose your own categories for the final.

So, if you're ready, let's play Round 2.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I'm going to say that's false.

-I can't imagine that's true, so I'm going to say false.

-False?

-I wouldn't have a clue, but I'm going to go for true.

-True?

I could be wrong with this, but I'm pretty sure that's true.

-So I'm going to say true.

-True?

I've never, ever heard of that and I have got a friend who is Irish

and I don't think she's mentioned it. I'm going to say false on that one.

-False?

-Yes.

How was that round?

I'm not going to say I knew any of them, but, yeah, I had more

of a gut feeling on those and the answers felt a bit more right.

You wouldn't fall off your stool

in shock if you got four right?

I probably would still fall off my stool. Hopefully, yeah.

Hopefully I'll get some more right this time.

Before we reveal exactly how well you've done,

it's time to bring back those pesky Usual Suspects.

The Usual Suspects, these are the four statements

and next to them are Grace's answers.

So, let's start with Veleen this time. How do you think she's done?

To tell you the truth,

I'm not too sure about A and B.

Michael, can you help us out?

-I think she's achieved perfection.

-Let's find out, shall we?

Grace, the moment of truth, let's find out how many are correct.

-Three out of four. Better.

-Yes, it's getting better.

-Going in the right direction.

-Definitely.

However, you failed to achieve Perfection. And you let

your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

Usual Suspects, you get the chance to steal this round,

having stolen Round 1.

You can see Grace's answers,

you need to change one of them.

Which once it's going to be?

-D, God Bless Hibernia?

-I don't know.

Hibernia is the Latin name for Ireland.

It's A or D, which one shall we go for?

Change D from false to true.

Change D from false to true?

There we go, leaving

A, B and C as answered by Grace.

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

A species of dinosaur

is named after Mark Knopfler.

Is that possibly true? Or is it false?

It's true. Masiakasaurus knopfleri.

Usual Suspects, you failed to achieve Perfection.

I wonder whether you can still achieve Perfection at home.

Lilliput is a fictional land in Gulliver's Travels.

Of course, we know that to be true.

Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest peak in Africa. True or false?

It's true.

God Bless Hibernia is the Irish national anthem. True or false?

It is, in fact, false.

It is, in fact, The Soldier's Song.

So, Usual Suspects, had you achieved Perfection,

you would now have the opportunity to make Grace's chances

of winning the prize fund a little bit harder.

Let's look at the board.

First round, the Usual Suspects won,

so they got to put the first two categories in -

Heraldry and Borders.

Because neither side won the round, the two categories that were

-due to be chosen will now be carried over to the next round.

-Yeah.

Meaning four categories will be on offer in Round 3.

Usual Suspects, we switch you off for now,

but we will see you in Round 3.

With four categories on offer in the next round,

that's a really good one to get Perfection in.

-It's got to be four now.

-It's got to happen.

-You ready to play?

-I'm ready, yeah.

-Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-Um, it could be, but I'm going to say false on that one.

-False.

Um, again, I'm not 100% sure, but I'm going to go false on that one.

-False.

-Yeah.

Holloway. I don't think it is.

I thought it was a men's prison, so I'm going to say false on that one.

False. And finally.

I'm going to say that one's true.

-I think that one's true, yeah, true on that one.

-True.

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

-Enjoy it or not?

-There's not really any I was 100% on, but...

OK, before we reveal how well you've done,

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Hello, Usual Suspects.

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

Al. How many has she got wrong?

-I'm not sure on B or C.

-All right. Michael?

She definitely got C wrong.

-Holloway Prison is a woman's prison, so that should be true.

-OK.

They think you've made some mistakes. Moment of truth.

You had to answer all statements perfectly to win the round.

Let's find out how many are correct.

-Ooh.

-Only one.

-Only one out of the four.

Usual Suspects, you have an opportunity to steal the round.

Grace has only got one right. You need to change three of the answers.

-Which three are you going to change?

-I think Joe Frazier's right.

So we'll change A, B and C. I'd like to change A to true.

-A changes to true.

-B from false to true.

-B from false to true.

And C, false to true.

C false to true, leaving D as Grace answered, true.

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

Jo Brand's former stage name was the Sea Monster. Is that true or false?

It's actually true. Elmore Leonard wrote the novel LA Confidential.

True or false?

It's false. It was written by James Ellroy.

Usual Suspects, you missed your opportunity.

I wonder whether you are still on for Perfection at home.

Shall we find out? Holloway Prison is for women inmates. True or false?

It's true. So Joe Frazier was the last boxer to beat Muhammad Ali.

Is that true or false?

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

It was Berbick that was the last to beat him.

So, Usual Suspects, had you achieved Perfection,

you would now have the chance to

make Grace's chance of winning the prize fund much harder in the final.

As it turns out, it's going to work out 50/50.

Let's have a look at the board and I'll explain how.

First two subjects are on there,

chosen by the Usual Suspects.

Because no-one managed to win Round 3,

we still have four blank spaces to fill.

To fill those blank spaces, you will take it in turn to choose

a category, so Grace, you choose first. Which one would you like?

OK, I'd like to have Lead Singers

as my first choice.

Lead Singers goes into the final.

Usual Suspects, will you please pick a category.

What about Politics.

-Yeah.

-You reckon?

Politics, please.

Politics goes in.

-Your turn, Grace.

-I think I'm going to

-go for Monopoly.

-Monopoly.

Monopoly goes into the final.

Usual Suspects, you get to choose

the final category.

-Poets, I was going to say.

-Poets, please.

And Poets goes in.

We now know our six final categories...

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

Away they go. What do you make of those ones they picked for you?

They chose two that I have no idea about,

but you never know what the questions are going to be.

Absolutely right. Grace, 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 a prize fund of £5,000.

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

which is great news for the Usual Suspects,

as one of them could be playing for

a rollover of £6,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Grace, here are your final six categories:

You must answer all six correctly,

if you want to win the £5,000. Think carefully.

No time limit, but once you've given an answer,

-your first answer becomes locked in.

-OK.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah, I'm ready.

Let's reveal your first statement.

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

They were right to pick this subject,

because I haven't got any idea,

but I'm going to go for true on that one.

I've just got a feeling that it's true.

True. Borders.

Um, I don't think that's right

because I think it will be

somewhere in Eastern Europe.

So I'm going to go false on that one.

False. Lead singers.

I have... Obviously, I know the band Keane.

I've never heard of Tom Keane

and I don't think that a band like that would take their name

from somebody's surname,

so I'll go false with that one.

False. Politics.

I should know that because it's so recent.

Ed Balls, I think he's

the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

That's what's going on in my head. I'm going to go false on that one.

-False.

-Yes.

-Monopoly.

I can't picture

a Monopoly board at the moment.

But I'm thinking Piccadilly, piccalilli, that's yellow,

so it would make sense, wouldn't it?

I'll go true with that one!

True. And finally, Poets.

I have heard of Carol Ann Duffy,

I've heard the name.

I don't know any poets,

so maybe it's something

I've heard on the news recently.

I'm going to go true

-on that one, as well.

-True.

You have answered all of the statements

and those answers are now locked in.

Remember, if there is one single mistake, you leave with nothing.

-Was it a good board?

-It wasn't as bad as it could have been.

The Italy one. I worked in Italy for quite a while

and I travelled around Italy,

so that was a good one for me.

They were all quite recent, so I'd heard of some of the people.

-Maybe I've got a chance.

-Which are you must unsure about?

Um, the Piccadilly one.

I don't know if the people who made

Monopoly will have the same

common sense I have with the piccalilli thing,

-so it's a guess, so who knows?

-Well, let's switch on the Usual Suspects.

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

Next to them are Grace's answers.

Grace, your answers are now locked in and you can't change them

alone, but if you think you made a mistake, you can unlock the board

with the help of the Usual Suspects, although it will come at cost.

So, Grace, who would you like to hear from first?

I think I'd like to hear from Al first.

I'm too unsure on two or three of them for me to come down.

I'd like to speak to Michael next.

You've definitely got two right and one wrong, but the other three,

-I don't know. I don't think I could help you.

-Veleen.

I think there's two correct, but I'm honestly not sure

about the others, so I'm afraid I can't come down at this moment.

Well, it looks like the negotiations are suspended,

on the basis that they don't want to help.

-You're on your own.

-On my own.

-Hey, you might have got them all right.

-Exactly. Who knows? 50-50.

-Yeah. £5,000 at stake, six answers away.

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

A saltire is a diagonal cross. You said that was true.

We need to find out if it's true or false.

We need this to turn green to get you under way towards your £5,000.

Is it true or false?

-It is true, well done.

-That's a good start.

OK. And moving on to Italy's longest land border is with France.

You said you'd driven around Italy, so it seemed unlikely

that the longest land border would be with France.

So you said false. Is it true or false?

It is false.

Switzerland has the longest border, actually.

All right, the lead singer of Keane is called Tom Keane.

You said unlikely that they would use the surname, so you said false.

Is it true or false?

It's false.

He's called Tom Chaplin.

-Tom Keane is an antiques dealer.

-Oh, right, OK.

Look at that, halfway towards the £5,000.

I know. That's better than I thought I was going to do, so far,

-so I'm happy with that at the moment.

-Let's move on.

Ed Balls stood in the 2010 Labour leadership race.

You went for false.

We need this to turn red to get you only two away from the £5,000.

So, is it true or false?

Oh, it's true.

It means you haven't achieved Perfection,

it means you're not going to take the cash home, I'm afraid.

I wonder if you can still achieve Perfection at home.

Let's go through the statements. E...

Because Piccadilly sounded like piccalilli,

and piccalilli is yellow, you said true.

-Yes.

-Fantastic. Is it true or false?

It IS true!

APPLAUSE

Plainly, the inventors of Monopoly had the same line of thought.

They obviously did, which is quite worrying.

Finally, we get to F. Carole Ann Duffy...

You said that's true. We'd like this to turn green.

Is it true or false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

-I think you should be very proud of yourself there.

-I am.

Usual Suspects, that's fantastic news for you.

The prize rolls over to the next game, where one of you could be

playing for a total of...

Grace, you played very well. You should be proud of yourself.

-I am.

-Unfortunately, cos you didn't achieve Perfection,

it means you go home empty-handed. Did you enjoy yourself?

I had lots of fun and know more than I thought I did,

so there you go. I've learnt something.

You were a great contestant, loved having you.

Grace, ladies and gentlemen.

APPLAUSE

It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect

hoping to play Perfection today.

Usual Suspects, please introduce yourself.

My name's Carole Young from Seaham in County Durham

and I'm an administrator for a local housing authority.

Welcome to the show, Carole.

Best of luck to you all, as we now find out which one of you

has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

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

Veleen, welcome to the show. Let's find a bit more about you.

Now, you're interested in tarot and all kind of spiritual things.

-I am, yeah.

-Crystals.

-Yeah.

-Do you ever have psychic feelings?

-Oh, yeah.

-Do you really?

-Yeah, yeah. I can do readings, as well, if you want one.

How are you going to do in the competition?

-You know what, I'm going to go with the flow.

-With the flow.

You don't want to make any predictions?

-No, I won't make any predictions.

-It's you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your team-mates, now they're your enemy.

Here's the good news, as nobody has won the last five games,

the prize money currently stands at...

APPLAUSE

Three rounds and a final to come.

Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off so you can't

see or hear anything, but as soon Veleen makes a mistake,

you'll be back in the game.

You can now talk through your answers without giving away

-any vital points, because they can't hear you.

-OK.

-You ready to play?

-Yeah.

Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1, your 45 seconds starts now...

-I believe that's false.

-False.

-Yeah.

-True, maybe?

-True.

I'm not entirely sure about that one,

so I'm just going to take a guess and say...

..true.

True. And finally...

-I believe that one's true.

-True.

With a little time to spare, you answered all four statements.

Could you see your time there? How did that go for you?

Oh, I couldn't remember what a cummerbund was.

But apart from that, pretty good round?

It was OK. Let's see.

OK. Before we reveal how well you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements

and next to them are Veleen's answers.

So, Michael, has she achieved Perfection?

No, definitely not.

B, well, I used to wear

my cummerbund around my waist,

before it shrank.

LAUGHTER

OK, Carole, do you think she's got any wrong?

Yeah, I agree with Mike,

a cummerbund's definitely worn round your waist.

Veleen, the moment of truth.

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

Let's find out how many you've got correct.

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

that's what you need to keep your enemies out.

They now get a look in.

So, Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see Veleen's answers,

you need to change just one of them. Which one?

-B.

-Definitely B, the cummerbund.

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

B changes from true to false,

leaving A, C and D as answered by Veleen.

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

If the statement turns green, it's true,

if it turns red, it's false.

A.

Is that true or false?

It is, of course, false.

His real name was George Hoy Booth, in actual fact.

A cummerbund is normally worn around the neck.

True or false?

That is false.

That is normally worn around the waist.

C.

Is that true or false?

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

It is true. And finally, D.

Is that true or false?

It is true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Well, well, Veleen, they managed to succeed where you failed,

and as a result they've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you have the opportunity to make Veleen's chances

of winning the prize fund much harder in the final, and here's how.

Veleen, take a look at this. This is your final board.

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

Here are your final round categories appearing on the left,

ranging from Dog Breeds, onto

Bob Hope, with many more in between.

Because the Usual Suspects

stole the round from you,

they get to choose the two categories,

hoping to make the final that much harder for you.

Usual Suspects, which two categories

would you like Veleen to play?

How about Roman Towns?

-Yep.

-Yeah, that'll be fine.

-Roman Towns, please.

-Thank you very much.

Roman Towns goes across into the final.

-Dung.

-Dung?

Can we have Dung, please?

Dung goes into the final.

Well done, Usual Suspects, you won the round.

It's time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round 2. Cheerio.

Roman Towns any good for you?

I know a little.

I'd ask if you know anything about the next one,

but it seems a weird question -

know anything about dung?

-It depends on the question, really, doesn't it?

-It does.

Look at the subject categories on the left.

Which ones would you choose,

if you get the opportunity?

Weather and Popeye.

And ones you want to avoid?

Ones you really would like to keep away from?

Spanish Cheese.

I have no idea about Spanish Cheese.

And I'm not really a dog lover, so I'd say Dog Breeds.

And Dog Breeds, OK.

-Are you ready to play the next round?

-Yes, I am.

Let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 second starts now...

True or false?

-False.

-False.

-I would say that's true.

-True.

I'm not sure what that is but I'm

going to take guess and say true.

True. And finally...

-I would say that's false.

-False.

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

Good or bad round?

I didn't really know much of those. Most of them were guesses, so...

Before we reveal exactly how well you've done,

time to bring back those Usual Suspects.

Hello, Usual Suspects.

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

So, let's start with Carole this time. Has she achieved Perfection?

I don't think so.

-I don't think Professor Brian Cox was born and grew up in Dundee.

-Right.

Vichyssoise, I don't think that's a leek and potato soup, either.

How many of the four has she got right, Al?

I think C and D are possibly incorrect.

All right, smashing.

Veleen, the moment of truth.

Let's find out how many you've got correct.

Three out of four. Pretty good,

but not good enough. You've let them back into the game.

So, can you steal the round, Usual Suspects?

You can see Veleen's answers, you need to change one.

Which one are you going to change?

The vichyssoise one, I'm sure it's not leek and potato soup.

-Yeah, if you're happy with that.

-We'll have C, yeah.

Let us change C from true to false, please.

You'd like to change C from true to false, leaving

A, B and D as already answered by Veleen.

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

A.

Is that true or false?

It's false.

1929, in actual fact.

Professor Brian Cox

was born and grew up in Dundee.

Is that true or false?

It's false, I'm afraid.

Carole, you were right.

Born in Lancashire, in actual fact.

So, Usual Suspects, you failed to achieve Perfection, too.

Let's carry on and see if you at home can pull off Perfection still.

C.

Is that true or false?

Yeah, it is, actually, true.

And D.

True or false?

It is false.

The first Pet Shop Boys album was called Please.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved Perfection,

you would now have the opportunity to make Veleen's

chances of winning the prize fund much harder in the final.

Let's have a look at the final board.

Two subject categories already there, chosen by

the Usual Suspects, but because neither side won the round,

the two categories that were due to be chosen will now be

carried over to the next round,

meaning four categories will be on offer in Round 3.

Usual Suspects, I'm going to switch you off,

but we'll see you in Round 3.

Cheerio. And away they go.

This is important, because you've got four categories

on offer and if you leave it to them they'll choose four really bad ones.

At least you've got to have some chance of choosing your own, yes?

-I hope so.

-Let's move forward and let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 second starts now...

True or false?

-False.

-False.

-True.

-True.

That is definitely false.

False. And finally...

I don't know much about rugby,

but I'll say that it's true.

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

How did that feel?

-That felt a lot better.

-Anything you're worried about?

I'm a little bit worried about A.

Louis Armstrong's nickname.

Well, before we find out exactly how well you've done,

let's have a word with the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements and next to them

are Veleen's answers.

Michael, how has she done?

I think she's achieved Perfection.

Do you? Wow. A vote of confidence from Michael for you, there.

Right, Carole, do you agree?

I think B may be Bundesbank, rather than Bundestag.

OK. Veleen, it's the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly

to have won the round and have

that chance of choosing four categories for the final.

Let's see how many are correct.

Three out of four.

We need absolute Perfection

to win the round and you haven't achieved that,

which means the Usual Suspects

have a chance to steal.

Usual Suspects, can you win this round?

You can see Veleen's answers,

you need to change just one, but which one?

I definitely think it's Bundesbank.

I'm happy with that.

I'd like to change B from

true to false, please.

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

as answered by Veleen.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

A.

Is that true or false?

It is, of course, false.

-It was Satchmo. Remember that?

-Yes, I do.

OK. B.

Is that true or false?

It is false. It's Bundesbank, you're quite right, Carole.

Bundestag is the lower house of parliament in Germany.

So, you know where this is going, now, don't you, Usual Suspects?

Vicky Pollard was a character on The Fast Show. True or false?

Yes, it's false.

She was a regular on Little Britain, in actual fact.

And D.

True or false?

There you go and it is,

of course, true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Veleen, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed

and they've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make

Veleen's chances of winning the prize fund harder in the final.

Let's see that final board.

Two subject categories already in the final,

chosen by the Usual Suspects, and because you won the round,

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

That's two from this round and two that rolled over from Round 2.

So, get your heads together

and decide which four you would like Veleen to play.

I would go for Dog Breeds.

Dog Breeds goes across.

I'm going to go for Weather.

Weather goes across.

US Presidents.

US presidents goes across.

What else?

-Spanish Cheese.

-Yes, I'm happy with that.

-Spanish Cheese.

And Spanish cheese goes across.

We now know our six final categories, they are...

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

Cheerio. And away they go.

Flipping heck, it's like they were listening.

-I know!

-You never know. Depends on the questions, doesn't it?

-It does.

-You never know what you know until you're asked.

-Exactly.

Veleen, for £6,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

Veleen, this is the all-important final.

If you can achieve Perfection,

you could be leaving with a prize of £6,000, but if you fail,

you'll leave with nothing - great news for the Usual Suspects,

as one of them could be playing for a rollover

of £7,000 on the next game.

-You wouldn't want that to happen, would you?

-I wouldn't, no.

So, let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Veleen, here are your final six categories. They are...

You must answer

all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £6,000.

Think carefully, there's no time limit,

but once you've given an answer

your first answer is locked in.

-Are you ready?

-I am, yes.

Let's reveal your first statement.

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

Roman Towns...

True or false?

I'm not sure, but I'm going to take a guess

-and say that's false.

-False.

Dung...

Ooh.

That sounds like it might be correct,

so I think I'll say true there.

-True.

-Yeah.

Dog Breeds...

I don't know who the Welsh politician is,

-but I'm going to say true.

-True.

Weather...

I've never heard of that word.

I think I'll go with true.

-True?

-Yeah.

US Presidents...

Oh, these are really difficult questions for me.

-They're difficult for anybody.

-Yeah.

-I'll say false.

-False.

And finally, the one you were trying to avoid.

-Yeah.

-Spanish Cheese...

-I'll say true.

-True.

And with that, you have answered

all of the statements

and those answers are locked in.

Remember, if there is one single mistake, you leave with nothing.

Which ones are you unsure of?

-I'm sad to say, but I'm unsure about all of them.

-Really?

-Well, it's not over yet.

-It's not over.

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 Veleen's answers.

Your answers are now locked in.

You can't change them by yourself,

but if you think you've made a mistake, you can unlock them

with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will, however, come at a cost.

So, Veleen, who would you like to hear from first?

I would like to hear from Carole first.

CAROLE: I only know about half of the answers that could be right

and the half that I don't know

I haven't got a clue,

so I could be no help to you whatsoever, sorry.

-You think that's a tough board?

-I do.

-Who chose all the subjects?

LAUGHTER

-Who would you like to hear from next?

-I'll go with Michael.

I think you've got one wrong

and three I don't know.

I couldn't help you.

-OK, Al?

-Yeah,

I'm in the same boat, unfortunately.

I only know two of them for sure.

It's just too 50-50 for me

to try to make a difference for you.

So, you're on your own.

£6,000 at stake, six answers away.

Let's find out if you achieved Perfection.

If the statement turns green, it's true. If it turns red, it's false.

Shall we start with the one that you'd have chosen for yourself?

-Yeah, why not?

-That was the Weather one, wasn't it?

-It was.

To be honest, from the entire list it was the only one

-that you fancied a little bit, wasn't it?

-It was.

So, let's start with that.

A pluviometer is used to measure rainfall.

Is that true or false?

You said it was true, though you hadn't heard of a pluviometer,

but nonetheless, you went with true.

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

Is that true or false?

It's true. There you go.

APPLAUSE

I get the impression that you feel

this is all about to go horribly wrong.

No, I think it's going to go right.

-I'm very optimistic.

-You are?

-Yeah.

Is this your psychic thing coming through, saying...

No, I'm afraid not. I wish.

LAUGHTER

-It's the power of positive thinking.

-Yeah, it is.

-All right, look.

Barack Obama was born on the day Nixon resigned.

Now, you had to think about that and decided that that was false,

so we need this to turn red to keep you on course.

Is it true or false?

It's false. Well done.

APPLAUSE

Obama was born in '61 and Nixon resigned in '74,

so quite a distance between the two.

Let's get onto the one that you really didn't want, F.

You had a little think about this and decided that might well be true.

-If this turns green, you're halfway to the money.

-Wow.

So, is it true or false?

-It's true.

-Wow.

APPLAUSE

There you go. Halfway to the cash. How much are we talking about?

-Six grand.

-£6,000.

-It's a lot of money.

It is a lot of money, isn't it? Be very handy, that.

So, let's go to the top and make our way down, shall we? Colchis...

You thought this was false.

Any particular in reason, or it didn't sound right?

It just didn't sound right to me.

So you said false, which means we need this to turn red.

Is it true or false?

It's false.

Colchis was a kingdom in modern day Georgia, in fact.

That sounds more like it.

-You're two-thirds of the way towards the money.

-Wow.

Let's have a look at this one. B.

You said that sounded kind of like it could be true.

We need this to turn green.

If it does, you're only one away from the £6,000.

Is it true or is it false?

-It's true.

-Wow! I'm impressed.

APPLAUSE

You should be very pleased. That's a fantastic board.

Not only is it a fantastic board,

it's a board that's only one answer away, now, from £6,000.

Let's take a look at this last question.

The Jack Russell is named after a Welsh politician.

You thought it was probably true.

If it turns green, you're walking out of here

with £6,000, all on your own.

If it goes red, you've fallen at the last hurdle

and you walk out of here with nothing

and the money rolls over for the Usual Suspects.

So, let's answer the question. C.

Is it true or false

for £6,000?

It's false. Dear, oh, dear.

I've just re-read it and I thought, "No, that is definitely false."

-Really?

-Yeah. But, hey, I tried my best.

You tried your best and you did really, really well.

Let me just clear that up.

It's actually named after a Devon clergyman, in actual fact,

not a Welsh politician. OK.

Well, that's bad news for you,

it means you go home with no money at all, I'm afraid.

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

to the next game, where one of you could be playing for a total of...

APPLAUSE

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

but only just, which means you go home with nothing.

-I hope you've enjoyed your time here?

-I've really enjoyed myself.

I've met some really lovely people, so it's been great.

We're very lucky to have met you. Ladies and gentlemen, Veleen.

APPLAUSE

Well, that's all we have time for.

Please join us next time when our Usual Suspects have the chance

to play again, this time for £7,000.

But remember, on this game, five out of six isn't good enough.

Close isn't good enough.

We only pay for absolute perfection. Goodbye.
