Episode 9 Perfection

Welcome to the show that demands nothing less than Perfection.

Behind this screen are four contestants who are hoping

their knowledge is flawless, because one single mistake

could give the game away. This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Hello, you, 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 has been randomly selected

to join me here to play Perfection.

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

If I said Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling,

would you say that's true or false?

If you'd said true, I can tell you you'd have been 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.

You know how the game works. Let's meet the Usual Suspects.

Hi, my name is Charles.

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

My name is Carole. I'm from Seaham in County Durham.

I'm an administrator for the local housing authority

and this is my second game.

Hello, my name is Al, I am from Halifax.

I am an archaeologist and this is my fourth game.

Hello, my name's Michael. I live in Ramsgate.

I'm a retired electronics technician and this is my sixth game.

Welcome to you all,

and best of luck as we now find out

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

Charles, it's you! Come and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Charles, welcome to the show. You do American studies, is that right?

Yes, that is right.

I do American studies and film and cinema technology,

a very long-winded course.

-So, what's the interest in America?

-I did go to America for two months.

They would have loved you over there.

-You've got a proper English accent.

-Oh, proper British accent.

Ra-di-dah! Although, my family comes from Yorkshire originally.

I could tell there was a hint of Yorkshire about your accent, yes.

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

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

Their job is to stop you winning,

because your failure will mean their success.

The money will roll over to the next game

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

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

The good news for you is nobody's won the last six games,

so the prize fund currently stands at £7,000.

Nice!

What would you spend the money on?

Well, I'd put it into my three-tier plan, I guess.

I think the first tier,

a bit into the bank to help pay off my student loan.

Second tier would be give a little bit to charity.

And third, a little bit for my parents,

because they have done so much for me in my 20 years of existence.

Well, that's nice of you. Nothing for yourself amongst that lot?

Well, I did say a little bit into the bank.

Hopefully I'd have a little bit to spend on noodles and fine dining

-whilst I'm at university.

-Here's how the game works.

You'll play three rounds and a final.

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

If your performance is anything less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects will have a chance

to step in and steal the round, making the final much harder.

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

Cheerio.

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

You will only have 45 seconds,

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

-Happy with that?

-Oh, yes.

-Jolly good. Let's play Perfection.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-That's definitely false.

-False.

-False.

-False. It comes from apple seeds.

-False.

I have not seen that film, much to my great shame as a film student.

-But I would say that is true.

-True.

I have heard of the book Catcher In The Rye.

And, let's see, is it by JD Salinger?

-True.

-True.

And with a little time to spare,

you have answered all four. Those answers are locked in.

How was that round?

The first two were easy. The second two -

no idea.

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 Charles's answers.

-Michael, how has he done?

-I think he might have achieved Perfection.

-Interesting. Al?

-I agree. I think that's pretty good.

Carole, can you pick any holes in his argument?

-It's definitely Perfection.

-Wow.

-Wow.

-Let's find out.

Charles, you need to have answered all four statements perfectly

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

Not bad, but certainly not Perfection, and as a result,

you have let your enemies into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You need to change one of Charles's answers. Which one?

A is definitely false.

Catcher In The Rye was by Salinger.

-That's right.

-That's true.

Arsenic, I'm sure, is not from a tree.

-We'll just go for the War Horse.

-War Horse, C?

-Yeah.

We will change C from true to false, please.

We change C from true to false, leaving A, B and D

as Charles answered.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

It is, of course, false. He comes from the Arthurian legends.

It is false. It doesn't come from trees at all.

It's a chemical element that appears in many minerals and, as you said, in apple pips.

It is false. Emily Watson was the female lead in War Horse.

So you know where this is going now. You can afford to smile a little.

It is, of course, true.

Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

They managed to succeed where you failed, and they have stolen the round.

This is your final board.

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

Here are your categories.

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round, they get to choose

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

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

-How about Romcoms?

-Can we have Romcoms, please?

Romcoms goes across. And?

I wonder if Peanuts means the cartoon or the nut! Peanuts, please.

Peanuts goes across into the final.

Well done, Usual Suspects, you've won Round One.

Time to switch off, but we'll see you in Round Two.

Away they go. They can't hear us now, so you are free to discuss it.

I think Romcoms... Who knows?

Luck of the draw might bring something fortunate.

As for Peanuts, I know some things about Peanuts, but not many.

Football, I think, would have been a killer for me.

-That's what you want to avoid, is it?

-Yes. I avoid it like diseases.

But all the others I think I could do very well in.

-Are you ready for the next round?

-Yes, I am.

-Then let's play Round Two.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-True.

-True.

-I'm not sure, wait...

I'm afraid I have to take your first answer.

-True.

-True.

-I'm not sure.

-I think... Actually, that's false.

-False. And finally...

Bodkin. I've heard of a bodkin in archery, so I would say false.

False.

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

Although I get the feeling

that you'd have liked to have changed your first answer.

Yes, I remembered it's in Afghanistan.

-You might be right, you might be wrong.

-I might be wrong after all.

Before we reveal how well you've done, it is

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

-Carole, has he got any wrong?

-I think he has Perfection.

-Al?

Well, B to me, I don't see why should grow faster than the other,

-but I'd possibly put that as false.

-Michael?

Well, I think A, I thought it was between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Well, let's find out how many you've got correct, Charles.

-Three out of four again. Consistent.

-Yes.

-Consistently just under par.

-Close, but no cigar.

You need to achieve Perfection, and you haven't,

which means the Usual Suspects are back in the game.

Can you steal this round? You can see Charles's answers.

-You need to change one of them.

-I think you're right.

-Afghanistan, isn't it?

-Yes, I'm sure it is.

Can we change A from true to false, please?

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

as answered by Charles.

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

It is false. And so you know where this is going, Usual Suspects,

-and you knew it as soon as you said it.

-Yep. I... I...

Afghanistan-Pakistan border is actually where it is.

The Fame Monster was a hit album by Pete Doherty.

It is false. It's by Lady Gaga.

It is false. Congratulations,

Usual Suspects. You have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

It's like a type of needle or dagger. Oh, dear, Charles.

You let them in, I'm afraid, with that mistake.

Let's look at the final board.

Two subject categories already chosen for the final by you,

the Usual Suspects, and as a result of winning that round,

you get to choose two more. Which would you like him to play?

What about Football? Reckon he's up on his Football?

OK, yeah, could we have Football, please?

-Football goes into the final round.

-What about Famous Bears?

Yeah. That's a good one.

-Famous Bears, please.

-Famous Bears goes into the final.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. We'll see you in Round Three.

Away they go. Well, you said you specifically didn't want Football.

Well, they fell right into the bear trap.

Bears are my favourite type of animal,

and I know many of them, fictional or otherwise.

Is that right? Are you ready to play the next round?

OK, this time thinking first, then saying.

Let's play Round Three.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Yes, they switched to a decimal currency in 1971.

-I'm pretty certain of that. True.

-True.

-No, that had Roger Moore in it. So... I'd say false.

-False.

-My mother makes that all the time, and it is definitely true.

-True.

And finally...

I think that is true, yes.

True. And with time to spare,

you have answered all four. Happy with that?

I think I've done pretty well there. I am not sure about The Prisoner.

I watched one episode of that and vowed never to watch it again.

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

Usual Suspects, these are the statements,

and next to them Charles's answers. Al, how do you think he has done?

-I'm just unsure of the year for question A.

-Carole?

Yogi Berra, I'm just not sure about that one.

Michael, what do you think?

Maybe A, I'm not sure about, but the other three are OK.

The moment of truth. You have to have answered

all four statements perfectly to have won the round.

Congratulations, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

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

Of course, it is true.

1960s TV character Emma Peel was in The Prisoner.

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

-She was in The Avengers.

-Yes, that's it.

Hummus is normally made using chickpeas.

You said your mum made it a lot, so you knew this was true,

and, of course, it is true.

And Yogi Berra was a famous baseball player. You are absolutely right.

He was a famous baseball player. Very well played.

Let's take a look at your final board.

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

to choose the last categories to add to the board. Which do you fancy?

I'm going to go dead centre and say Capital Cities and US History.

Capital Cities goes across into the final,

and US History goes into the final.

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

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

Charles, you must be reasonably pleased with that now.

Well, one half is looking OK.

The other half, not so much so. 50-50... It'll be perfect.

-You might be in some of the cash.

-In it to win it.

Wrong programme, Charles.

Either way, Charles, for £7,000, it is time to play the final.

Charles, this is the all-important final.

If you can achieve Perfection,

you could be leaving with a prize of £7,000.

If you fail, you will be leaving with nothing,

which will be great for the Usual Suspects, as one of them

could be playing for a rollover of £8,000 in the next game.

So let's play the final round.

Charles, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £7,000. Think carefully.

There is no time limit, but once you give me an answer,

your first answer, it's locked in.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

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

Oh, gosh. Golly goshkins.

AUDIENCE TITTERS

I'm going to say that's false.

I think he played a bookseller in Notting Hill. I might be wrong.

-I'll say false.

-False.

Peanuts.

Well, a monkey nut is...

-It has a hard shell around it, so I'd say false for that one.

-False.

Thank you.

Football.

I used to live near Naples for three years.

I took no interest in football, and as a result, I have no idea.

-This is horrible! I'm going to say true.

-True.

Famous Bears.

I didn't read enough Rupert Bear as a child. I think true.

Just stay true on a hunch.

-So we're going true?

-True, yeah.

Capital Cities.

-Is that true or false?

-Amman. I'd say true.

-Again, it sounds like it.

-True.

And finally, US History.

That's false.

It was against Sitting Bull, who was a Cherokee or Sioux,

but definitely not Apaches.

-I'd say it's false.

-False. Lovely.

With that, you have answered all six statements.

Those answers are locked in.

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

-Which ones are you unsure of?

-Frankly, all of them.

That was completely ghastly, I think is the best phrase.

Well, let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and Charles's answers. Charles, your answers are now locked in.

You can't change them on your own. If you think you've made a mistake,

you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will, however, come at a cost.

Usual Suspects, I'm now going to ask you to tell me

how well you think Charles has done, if you want to help,

and if you do, how much it's going to cost him.

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

-Michael.

I think you've got one wrong. I'm not sure about another one.

-I'll have to think about it.

-Would you like to hear from someone else?

-Al.

-I would come down for 5,000 of it.

-That's the lion's share.

-It is a lot.

Let's hear all the offers on the table. Carole.

I know you've got one wrong. I'm not sure about another one.

But I'm the same as Al. 5,000. I might come down.

You want to go back to Michael and see what he's offering?

I don't think Michael is 100% certain. I think Carole or Al.

They seem more assertive, so I think they know what's going on.

Either of you interested in 4,000?

4,500, that's as low I'd go down to.

-What about you, Carole?

-I wouldn't go below 5,000.

So Carole still wants 5,000. Al will come and have a go for 4,500.

Well, Carole did say she KNOWS I got one wrong.

-So, I think I'll take Carole's offer.

-That's interesting.

So, Carole, the offer is to take the £5,000

-to come down and join us. Agreed?

-I'll go for it.

So, for £5,000 of the £7,000 on offer, Carole,

would you like to come down and join us?

APPLAUSE

OK, Charles, you've asked Carole for help.

If you achieve Perfection,

it will cost you £5,000 of your potential prize fund of £7,000.

Carole, you have now forfeited your chance to play in the next game.

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

-I hope so!

Here are the final round statements,

and all six answers are now unlocked.

Charles and Carole, discuss.

Well, I know for a fact that Rupert Bear didn't live in Nutbush.

-Well, OK.

-It was something Wood, but it wasn't Nutbush.

-OK, well, change that to false.

-And Juventus isn't based in Naples.

Juventus. OK, we'll change that one as well.

And hopefully we will be in it...

-..to win...

-I hope so!

..it.

-Right, so, which ones do you want to change?

-C and D.

C changes from true to false. D changes from true to false.

-Lock the rest?

-Yes, lock the rest in.

All right, the rest remain as you answered first off, Charles.

£7,000 at stake. £2,000 to Charles. £5,000 to Carole.

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

Let's start with the ones you changed.

C, the Italian club Juventus is based in Naples.

Originally, Charles said true.

Carole, you came down to change that and said it was false.

Is it true or is it false?

It's false.

APPLAUSE

They're actually based in Turin. Congratulations. A great start.

Charles, if Carole hadn't come down to help you,

-you'd have been out of it already.

-Yes.

-So definitely worthwhile.

The question is whether the second change you made was worthwhile too.

Rupert Bear lives with his parents in Nutbush.

Charles, you obviously haven't read enough of Rupert Bear

and you didn't know either way.

Luckily, Carole was there to advise you. Or was it lucky?

She came down and suggested it was a wood. She said to change it to false.

If you are right, it will turn red

and you will be one step closer to the £7,000.

Is it true or false?

-It is false.

-Well done, Carole!

-Carole, it was Nutwood.

-That's right. I knew it was a wood.

Very well done. Two out of two on your changes.

Let's carry on through the rest.

-It gets a bit more interesting.

-Now it's on my shoulders, Carole.

Amman is the capital of Jordan. You plumped for true.

Carole certainly didn't dissuade you away from it.

You stuck with true. We need this turn green

to get you halfway towards the £7,000.

Is it true or is it false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

Very good.

So, halfway towards the £7,000.

It's looking like good teamwork.

Yeah, maybe we have a chance. We've done Perfection!

Let's find out. Custer's Last Stand was against the Apaches.

You said this was false,

and Carole said nothing to dissuade you from that.

We need this to turn red

if you are to get two-thirds of the way towards the £7,000.

Is it true or false?

It is false. Very well done.

APPLAUSE

Custer was fighting against the Sioux and Cheyenne at Little Bighorn.

There you go. Very well done.

Good knowledge all-round and good teamwork.

We're down to the last two.

In Love Actually, Hugh Grant played a bookseller.

You need this turn red to be one away from the £7,000.

Is it true or is it false?

It's false!

Who knows? I think we've got it.

He was, in fact, the bookshop owner in Notting Hill,

but in Love Actually he was Prime Minister.

-Prime Minister, yes.

-So, here we go. Game on, I think is the expression.

This is it now. The last statement. The last answer. The last hurrah.

Could it be a hurrah as you leave here with the cash,

or is it a hurrah for the Usual Suspects

because the money rolls over?

The edible seeds of peanut plants ripen underground.

Charles, you thought this was false.

Carole came down and did not dissuade you in any way from that.

Is it possible that peanuts grow underground? You said false.

You stuck with false. You need this to turn red.

If it turns red, you walk out of here with £5,000 to Carole,

£2,000 to Charles.

If it turns green, you've blown it

and the many rolls over for the Usual Suspects.

Let's find out. The edible seeds of peanut plants ripen underground.

Is that true or false, for £7,000?

It's true!

-Oh, no!

-It's true.

They are the same thing as monkey nuts that you were referring to.

-Also known, by the way, as groundnuts.

-Oh, goodness.

So just that last one. Neither of you spotted it.

It means you haven't achieved Perfection

and you're not going home with the cash, I'm afraid.

Usual Suspects, fantastic news for you.

The prize rolls over to the next game

where one of you could be playing for a total of £8,000.

APPLAUSE

Charles and Carole, very brave effort.

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

-I hope you've enjoyed playing.

-It's been great.

-Oh, yes.

I've only been on for one game.

I might as well enjoy every single moment of it.

-An intense game, wasn't it?

-Oh, yes.

-An intense moment.

Lovely to have you. Carole and Charles, ladies and gentlemen.

APPLAUSE

It's now time to meet

the next Usual Suspects hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspects, please introduce yourselves.

Hi, I'm Lauren, I'm from the West Midlands.

I'm a part-time web and graphic designer.

Hi, I'm Rosemary.

I'm from Manchester and I'm a personal fitness instructor.

Welcome to you all, and good luck as we find out which one of you

has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Rosemary, it is you! Come and join us and play Perfection.

Rosemary, welcome to the game. Let's find out a bit more about you.

Tell me about family.

Well, all my children have flown the nest,

but I do have four daughters and two granddaughters.

That must take up a bit of your time.

It did before, but not so much now. One daughter's in America,

one's on the Isle of Mull, and two are in Manchester.

Listen, Rosemary, it's you versus the Usual Suspects.

Briefly, they were your team-mates. Now they are definitely your enemies.

Nobody has won the last seven games,

so the prize fund currently stands at £8,000.

APPLAUSE

What would you do with £8,000?

I'd love to go across to New York on the Queen Mary 2.

Imagine going into Manhattan and seeing the skyline and things,

into New York harbour.

Is travel a big thing for you?

Do you have big ambitions for places you want to go?

I'm not a beach person.

I mean, I'd quite like to go across Patagonia on a horse,

but I don't know if that's very realistic.

See, that's a great thing to do.

OK, look, three rounds and a final to come.

Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off

so you can't see or hear anything.

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

IF Rosemary makes a mistake.

Quite right. IF Rosemary makes mistake. Are you ready to play?

-I am.

-Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round One. Your 45 seconds starts now.

-True or false?

-I think that's true. He got quite a long way into Asia...

-And I think that's true.

-True.

-I have absolutely no idea. I'm going to say that that's false.

-False.

-I think that's probably true.

-True.

-That's true.

-True. And with time to spare

you've answered all four statements.

How did you feel about that round?

I'm not sure about the Miley Cyrus one or Wikipedia.

It might have been in the 20th century.

Before we reveal how well you have done, it is time to bring back

the Usual Suspects.

Hello, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements,

and next to them are Rosemary's answers. Michael, has she achieved Perfection?

-I'm not sure. I think B could be true.

-Al, what do you think?

I am not sure if sunlight takes eight seconds rather than

-hours, so that would be false.

-Lauren, what do you make of it?

I'm pretty sure that Billy Ray Cyrus is Miley Cyrus's dad

so I think that should be true.

Between them they think you have made several mistakes.

-I'm beginning to think so too.

-They might be completely wrong.

-Yes.

The moment of truth. 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.

-That's what I thought.

It's 50-50, but it's certainly not enough.

You need to achieve Perfection and you haven't done that

which means you have let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see Rosemary's answers.

-You need to change two of them, but which two?

-We agree on B, do we?

-I'm pretty sure he is her dad so I think that should be...

-Yes.

I'm confident it is eight seconds as well, sunlight to reach Earth.

-So we will change B and D.

-I think so.

-Can we change B to true?

B changes from false to true.

And D to false?

And D changes from true to false,

leaving A and C as answered by Rosemary.

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

Alexander the Great invaded India. Is that true or false?

It is absolutely true. Miley Cyrus is the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus?

Is that true or false?

It is true. Lauren, you were absolutely right.

Wikipedia was founded in the 21st century. True or false?

It is true. You know where this is going, Usual Suspects.

Sunlight takes about eight hours

to reach the Earth. Is that true or false?

It is false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Just to clear that up, it is eight minutes in actual fact

but, either way, Rosemary, they managed to succeed where you failed, I'm afraid.

They've stolen the round.

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

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

Rosemary, this is your Final Board.

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

Here are your Final Round categories,

varying from Coronation Street

onto Blake's 7

with many more in-between.

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round, they choose

two categories hoping to make the Final harder for you to win.

Usual Suspects, which two would you like Rosemary to play in the Final?

-Opera?

-Operas?

-Yes.

-OK. Operas, please.

Operas goes across and I need one more.

-Transport, something like that.

-Transport, please.

-Transport.

Thank you. Well done, Usual Suspects.

You've won the first round. Time to switch you off

but we'll see you in Round Two.

And away they go. Do you know anything about Opera?

I don't have huge Opera knowledge but I know a bit about it.

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

-And Transport?

I know what a train is, I know what a bus is,

-I know what a car is, I know what a plane is!

-That is a good start.

Look at those on the left there.

Which ones

would you like to avoid?

-All of them!

-Really?

-Ones you'd choose?

-Probably Comedy.

-Maybe Assassinations actually.

-All right.

-Are you ready for the next round?

-I am.

-Good, then let's play Round Two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Absolutely no idea.

I used to watch snooker but I have not watched it for quite some time.

-I'm going to say false.

-False.

-I know that is absolutely false.

-False.

-No. It is topped with almonds. It is false.

-False. Thank you.

-I think that that is true.

-True.

With time to spare, you have answered all four statements.

That felt like a good round apart maybe from the start?

Graeme Dott, yes. The Dardanelles is in Turkey.

It's around... I can't remember the name of it but it is not in Belgium.

-Apart from the one at the top, a pretty good round?

-Yes.

Before we reveal how well you have done, it is time to bring back

the Usual Suspects.

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

are Rosemary's answers.

Al, has she achieved Perfection?

Not on this occasion. I know that Graeme Dott has definitely won

the Snooker championship once.

Lauren, what do you think?

The one I am not sure about is D

I know that they had a few celebrities in there,

but that is the one

I am only half-sure about.

-Michael, has she achieved Perfection?

-No, I agree with Al.

I think A is true, the other three she has got right.

Rosemary, the moment of truth.

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

Three out of four is not bad but it is not Perfection.

As a result you have let the Usual Suspects into the game.

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

You need to change just one. But which one?

-A, definitely.

-You seem pretty sure.

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

A changes from false to true,

leaving B, C, and D as answered by Rosemary.

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

Graeme Dott has won the world Snooker championship.

Is that true or false?

It is true.

Now you know already, Usual Suspects,

that you are going to do very well here.

The Dardanelles Strait is in Belgium. Is that true or false?

It is in fact false. It is in Turkey.

You are absolute right, Rosemary.

Traditionally a Dundee cake is topped with jam.

Is that true or false?

It is false. Almonds as you said, Rosemary.

Kylie Minogue appeared in the Vicar Of Dibley. True or false?

You were right with that too.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

You know what this means, Rosemary.

They have succeeded where you failed again.

As a result, they have the opportunity to

make your chances of winning the Final that much harder.

Let's see the Final Board. There it is with two subjects already chosen

for the Final.

Because you won the round, Usual Suspects, you get to choose

the next two. What do you fancy?

What about Inventions?

-Yes.

-Happy with that, yes.

Inventions goes across.

-One more.

-I think...

-I don't know.

-Famous Aussies, something like that?

-Famous Aussies, yes.

Famous Aussies goes across.

Thank you. Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

you have won the second round.

It is time to switch you off. We will see you in Round Three.

What do you think? Inventions, Famous Aussies?

It depends on the questions. I am not unhappy with it.

-I didn't think you would be to be honest.

-Exactly, yes.

You still have one more chance to find Perfection and choose your own

categories for the Final, so if you are ready, let's play Round Three.

APPLAUSE

Rosemary, your 45 seconds starts now.

-No, The Tyger was written by William Blake so that is false.

-False.

-Unfortunately that's true.

-True. Yes.

He did marry a model. I don't know if her name was Lara Stone.

-But I'm going to take a punt and say that is true.

-True.

And finally...

-Yes, he was. That is true.

-True.

And with time to spare...

You're very calm as the time ticks away there.

-I don't feel calm inside.

-Do you not?

-No.

All right, before we reveal exactly how well you have done,

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

Usual Suspects,

these are the four statements.

Next to them are Rosemary's answers.

Lauren, has she achieved Perfection?

I am pretty sure that they are right so she may have achieved Perfection.

Michael, how do you think she's done?

I think she did quite well.

I think she may have got them all right.

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

APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Rosemary,

you have achieved Perfection.

Very well done. Let's take a look through those answers.

The Tyger is a poem by William Wordsworth.

We know now that it is false. It was William Blake as you said.

Edward I has been called the Hammer of the Scots. You said true.

It is, of course, true.

David Walliams married the model Lara Stone. You said that was true.

You knew he's married a model and it turns out that that is true.

Earl Grey was a 19th-century British Prime Minister.

-Why did you laugh when you answered that?

-Because I drink nothing but Earl Grey tea.

OK. It turned out

to be true. Very well done.

As a result of that perfect performance,

you have made winning the Prize Fund that much easier.

Let us have a look at your Final Board.

Because you won the round,

you've earned the right to choose two categories

to add to the board. Which two do you fancy?

-I will try Comedy.

-Comedy.

And...

I'll try Assassinations.

-Assassinations.

-Yes.

-OK.

Assassinations goes across

and we now know our six Final categories.

They are...

It is time to switch off the Usual Suspects for the last time.

Rosemary, for £8,000, it is time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

Rosemary, this is the all-important Final.

If you can achieve Perfection, you could be leaving with a Prize Fund of £8,000.

If you fail, you will be leaving with nothing,

which is great news for the Usual Suspects because one of them

could be playing for £9,000 in a rollover on the next game.

So let's play the Final Round.

APPLAUSE

Rosemary, here are your six final categories.

You must answer all six statements

correctly if you want to

win the £8,000. Think carefully.

No time limit. But once you have given an answer,

your first answer, it's locked in.

-Are you ready?

-I am.

Then let's reveal your first statement.

Tell me whether you believe it's true or false.

I think Mozart did write Don Giovanni.

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

-True.

-That is absolutely true.

-True.

-Yes.

Who knows?

I don't think you would ask

a question like that

unless that was true

because it just seems so ridiculous to

think of people in the 1700s

skating around to their coffee houses.

-I'm going to say true for that.

-True.

He didn't. He was shot.

I would say that is false.

False.

Again that is another one that seems

so unlikely that it may be true.

I am going to say...

I don't know what I'm going to say.

-I'm going to say false.

-False.

And finally...

There was Lincoln, and Kennedy.

I'm going to say that's false.

I don't think it's as many as six.

-False.

-Yes.

And with that, you have answered

all six statements.

Your answers are locked in.

If there is one single mistake, you leave with nothing.

Which ones are you unsure of?

I am certain about the Routemaster.

Ned Kelly as well.

Andi Peters and Stewart Lee

I have no idea really.

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

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements and next to them

are Rosemary's answers.

Rosemary, your answers

are 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 come at a cost.

Rosemary, who would you like to hear from first?

-Michael.

-I think you may be right on all six.

-Very kind of you.

-Yes, I can't help you. I think you're right.

-Who would you like to hear from next?

Lauren.

I would have to agree with Michael and say I think you've achieved Perfection.

I won't come down and help you. I wish you all the luck.

-Thank you very much. Al?

-There's a couple I think you might have wrong.

It'd be a big risk

for me, that.

I possibly could for seven grand of it.

-That's a bit cheeky isn't it, out of 8,000?

-Very. Yes.

-Mind you, your choice not mine.

-No. You can make the choice for me.

-No, thanks.

-Not interested at £7,000?

-No. No.

-Lovely.

Negotiations have come to an end.

Thank you very much, Usual Suspects. So you are going alone.

£8,000 at stake. Six answers away.

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

Let's start at the top and work

-our way through.

-Why not?

Don Giovanni is an opera by Mozart. You said this was true.

Let's find out. Is it true or false? We need this to turn green.

It is true. Very well done.

APPLAUSE

The Routemaster was a type of London bus.

You said this was true so it should turn green. Is it true or false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

Roller skates were invented in the 18th century.

You said this was daft enough to be true. You plumped for true

which means that it should turn green if you are right.

-If it turns red, you've lost the money there and then.

-Yes.

Is it true or false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

-Halfway to £8,000.

-Not bad, is it?

It's not bad at all. The notorious criminal Ned Kelly evaded capture.

You said that was false because he was...

-Shot.

-That should turn red for you. Is it true or false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

He was captured and hanged. It does not matter how you get to the story.

-Right.

-You got the right answer. That's the important thing.

You're two-thirds of the way to £8,000.

Andi Peters and Stuart Lee were once a comedy duo.

You had a long think about this. You plumped for false.

-You need this to turn red to get you one away from £8,000.

-Yes.

Is it true or is it false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

You have to say the surnames out loud to realise where

-the question has come from.

-Peters and Lee, of course. Yes.

-They were singing duo in the '70s.

-Yes.

-There you go.

Absolutely the right answer.

Here we find ourselves on the verge of you walking out of here

with £8,000. What are you going to spend the money on if you win it?

I really would like to take the Queen Mary 2 across to New York.

And you might have enough left over to rent a horse and ride through Patagonia.

-I might.

-That's another thing you wanted to do.

-It's all possible but it all depends on this final statement and answer.

-I know.

Six US Presidents have been assassinated.

-You had a long think about this. You could only think of two.

-Yes.

The two you could think of were...

Lincoln and Kennedy. I think McKinley might have been shot as well.

That's three.

Certainly you didn't think the run as many as six.

-No. So you said false.

-Yeah.

-Here we go.

If it turns red, you have won £8,000 and all those things you

talked about come true.

If it turns green, you've lost at the final hurdle

and you go home with nothing

and the money rolls over for the Usual Suspects.

We need it to turn red for you.

Six US Presidents have been assassinated.

Is it true or false For £8,000?

It's false. Congratulations.

You've achieved Perfection

and won £8,000.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my...

-Brilliant.

I can't swear, can I?

Oh!

We'd prefer you not to swear, but I can understand why you might!

LAUGHTER

-How was that, then?

-It doesn't really sink in.

You are walking out of here with £8,000.

-I don't think all be walking. My knees are shaking!

-Are you all right?

-Yes.

-Let's clear up the last question.

Six US Presidents. Garfield was the other one you were looking for.

There were four Presidents who have been assassinated.

You're absolutely right. You achieved Perfection.

-You are walking out of here with 8,000... Are you all right?

-Yes.

-Want me to get the chair back?

-No!

I am a professional fitness instructor!

-It's true. I feel silly there. That is pretty good.

-It is very good.

-You get to do all those things you just talked about.

-I know.

LAUGHTER

Patagonia, here I come!

Unfortunately for you, Usual Suspects,

the Prize Fund has been won so we reset the total back to £1,000 for

the next game, but I have to say congratulations to you, Rosemary.

It's lovely!

LAUGHTER

Congratulations to Rosemary. She achieved Perfection and won £8,000.

And 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 £1,000, but remember, on this show, we will pay,

but only for Perfection. Goodbye.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
