Episode 15 Perfection

Welcome to the show that demands perfection. These four contestants hope their knowledge is flawless

because one single mistake could give the game away. This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Hello. Welcome to Perfection where only perfect play is good enough.

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

In a moment, we'll find out which one has been randomly selected to play Perfection.

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

For example, if I said...

..would you say that is true or false?

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

Answering "true" or "false" might seem easy,

but if the contestant gets a single answer wrong,

the Usual Suspects are allowed to capitalise on their mistakes.

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

Hi, I'm Ash from Essex. I'm a market researcher. This is my first game.

Hi, I'm Sam from Bristol. I'm a police worker. This is my second game.

Hi, I'm Christine from Carlisle. I'm a play supervisor

in a children's centre and this is my fourth game.

I'm Roger, I'm from Hornchurch in East London. I'm a retired lecturer and this is my sixth game.

Welcome to you all and best of luck as we find out who has been randomly selected to play Perfection.

Christine, it's you. Please come down and join me.

-APPLAUSE

-Christine, welcome to the game.

-Let's find out more about you. You work with children?

-I do. I work in a children's centre.

-If you inspire children early on in their lives, you can make a huge difference.

-Yeah.

We work with children from very young babies right up to 19 years, so it's very varied.

Christine, it's you versus the Usual Suspects. Their job is to stop you from winning the prize fund.

Your failure means the money rolls over to the next game where one of them could play for a bigger total.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

The good news is nobody has won the last four games, so the prize fund currently stands at £5,000.

APPLAUSE

-What would you spend the money on?

-I would love to visit my friend in New Zealand.

-She emigrated a few years ago, so I'd like to take the family out there.

-It's a beautiful country.

-Where is she? North or South Island?

-South Island.

-It's stunning there.

Very good luck with it. You'll play three rounds and then a final.

Every round that you achieve perfection makes the final easier,

but if your performance is less than perfect, the Usual Suspects can steal the round,

making the final 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.

-You'll have only 45 seconds and once you've given an answer, it'll be locked in. Are you ready?

-Yes.

Good. Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round One. Your 45 seconds start now.

-I'm going to say..."false".

-False.

Red, yellow, white... No, there's only three.

So, you're saying...?

-It's false.

-False.

-True.

-True. And finally...

-True.

-True. And with time to spare,

you've answered all four statements. How was that as a round?

Very calm, I thought.

The first one was just a total guess cos I've no idea. I do know who Michael Gove is, but that's a guess.

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

These were the four statements and Christine's answers.

-Roger, has she achieved perfection?

-She's done very well.

I'm a townie, so the only one I would take to task is D.

-Sam, can you see anything wrong with those answers?

-No, she may have perfection,

although "A" could be true or false, I don't know.

-What do you make of those answers, Ash?

-I would have answered the same.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round. How many are correct?

Just two out of four.

Not perfection. You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

You can steal this round. You need to change two of Christine's answers, but which two?

-I think the ones we're happy with, B and C.

-Definitely, yeah.

So, it has to be A and D, doesn't it?

-I guess so, yeah.

-Yeah.

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

-"A" changes from "false" to "true".

-And D from "true" to "false".

-And D from "true" to "false",

leaving B and C as answered by Christine.

Let's find out the correct answers. "The MP Michael Gove failed his driving test six times."

Is that true or false?

It is true.

"There are five colours on the Union Jack." True or false?

Yeah, that is false. There are three - red, white and blue.

"Ben Affleck won the Best Director Oscar in 2013." True or false?

It's false.

Oh, dear, Usual Suspects. You had the chance to steal the round, but you failed to achieve perfection.

I wonder whether you can still achieve perfection at home?

Argo won Best Film, but he wasn't nominated as Best Director. So, let's move on.

"The Derbyshire Redcap is a breed of chicken." Is it?

Yes, it's true. You are a bit of a townie, Roger.

-You can have chickens in town, you know, now.

-I like them in curry.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection, you could have made Christine's chances

of winning the prize fund much harder in the final.

This is your final board. These six blank spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are your options, starting with Battles and on to Politics with many more in between.

Had you achieved perfection, you could now add two categories to the board,

but as neither side won the round,

the two categories are carried over to the next round, so four categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round Two.

Let's have a chat about those subject categories.

Pick your couple that you really don't want to get.

I don't think I would like Law. Olympics, it could be anything.

-What about a couple that you will be choosing?

-Maybe Blue Peter, Celebrities?

To win the prize fund, you need to answer all six statements perfectly.

-Winning the next round could prove crucial. Are you ready to play on?

-Yeah.

-Let's play Round Two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-False.

-False.

-That's true.

-True.

-True.

-True. And finally...

I think that is probably true, yeah.

True. You've answered all four statements. That felt very positive.

I'm not so sure now that I've answered a couple and thought about them. I'm not sure.

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

These were the four statements and Christine's answers. Sam, is this perfection?

I think I'm glad I'm not Christine right now. I'm not sure what I'd change. Possibly "A"?

-Ash, what do you make of those answers?

-I would change B from "true" to "false".

I'm pretty sure I read about that somewhere recently.

-Roger, any mistakes that you can see?

-I'm doubtful about "A".

I think dear old Fred Delius probably sounds English to me.

When you make it "Fred" Delius, it sounds a lot more English.

OK, Christine, let's find out how many are correct.

Oh, dear!

One out of four is not perfection. You're drifting in the wrong direction.

-Yeah.

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

You need to change three of Christine's answers. Which three?

-Do we think Tiger Woods did win his first Major at 17?

-He was young, but did he win a Major at 17?

He's gone off the boil recently, but he was quite prodigious.

I think we have in answering the questions, but still!

-I'm more inclined to think that C is correct.

-B definitely needs to change.

-Right.

-OK, so we're happy with A and B changing?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-So, it's a question of C or D.

I think C. Ash thinks D.

I'm going to go for C being untrue. I'm going to go with Tiger as the winner of his first Major at 17.

-We'll change "A" from "false" to "true".

-"A" from "false" to "true".

-B "true" to "false".

-B "true" to "false".

-And C "true" to "false".

-And C "true" to "false",

leaving D as answered by Christine.

Let's see what the correct answers are.

"Frederick Delius was an English-born composer." True or false?

True. Fred Delius was an English composer. He was born in Yorkshire and I'm certain he was called Fred!

"Steve Coogan plays Hugh Hefner in The Look Of Love." True or false?

That's false. It was Paul Raymond.

"A deathstalker is a species of scorpion." Is that true or false?

That's true!

Oh, dear, Usual Suspects. You had the chance to steal the round, but you failed to achieve perfection.

Can you at home achieve perfection?

"Tiger Woods won his first Major at the age of 17." True or false?

I'm afraid that's false.

He was actually 21. Let's see the final board.

Christine, because neither side won the round, the four categories that were due to be chosen

will be carried over to the next round, so six categories will be on offer

as we'll be in desperate hope that someone wins a round!

Usual Suspects, I'll switch you off. See you in Round Three.

-With six categories on offer, this would be a great one to win. Shall we play on?

-Yeah.

Then let's play Round Three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-That's false. No, she's not.

-False.

-I don't think they'd be banned. That's false.

-False.

-False.

-False. And finally...

I don't think he did. I don't really know Bruce Forsyth for writing songs.

It was Morecambe and Wise that sang that, so I'm going to say "false".

False. You've answered all four statements.

Good round?

Maybe not too bad. I'm not sure.

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

These were the four statements and Christine's answers.

Ash, is that a perfect round?

I would have answered the same as Christine, so she may have perfection.

Roger, has she achieved perfection?

If she hasn't, then I think it's C, the "hiccups" question,

and it could cause us a hiccup if we have to answer it.

Very good. Christine, you need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round.

Let's see how many are correct.

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

The Usual Suspects have a chance to steal the round. You need to change just one of those answers.

-Which one?

-Let's look at D.

-Did Bruce Forsyth write anything?

-It's possible.

-It sounds a bit unlikely, doesn't it?

I know the name for hiccups, but I can't remember what it is.

So, are we happy to go with C?

-I think D, but...

-Oh, no.

-I know. Sorry.

-I'd be tempted to go with Sam on this and say D.

-Yes.

-Oh, no!

OK, well, it just looks like D that we've hardly agreed on, but there we are.

-We'll go for D.

-You'll change D from "false" to "true"?

-Yes, please.

Leaving A, B and C as answered by Christine.

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

"Mollie King is a member of One Direction." True or false?

False. Wrong sex, wrong band. She's a member of The Saturdays, of course.

"Knives and forks are banned in China." True or false?

That's false. Of course, it's false. They aren't.

"Singultus is a technical name for hiccups." Is it true or false?

Yeah, it's true. It might have been a mistake to go with Sam this time.

Usual Suspects, you've failed to find perfection. Can you still achieve perfection at home?

Let's look at that last one. "Bruce Forsyth wrote the song Bring Me Sunshine." True or false?

No, false.

Written by a couple of Americans, Arthur Kent and Sylvia Dee.

Let's have a look at the board. It's like a desert up there.

Not a single subject chosen and we've come to the end of Round Three. No-one won that either.

Six blank spaces have to be filled.

With no-one prepared to win a round, we fill those spaces by taking it in turns to choose a category.

Christine, you get to choose first.

Let's get started. This will take a while. Which one would you like?

-I'm going to go for Blue Peter first.

-Blue Peter goes into the final. Usual Suspects, choose a category.

-I think something like Battles.

-Battles?

-Yeah.

-Battles it is?

-Yeah.

-Battles, Nick.

-Thank you. Battles goes into the final. Christine?

-I'm going to go for Celebrities next.

-Celebrities goes in. Usual Suspects?

-Ash, any ideas here?

-Queen or Olympics?

-I think Queen.

-I think the Olympics might be... Yes, let's go for Queen.

-Law?

-Queen.

Queen goes into the final. Christine, your last pick?

-Minogues.

-Minogues goes into the final.

-Finally, Usual Suspects, complete that board for me.

-Law?

-I think Law.

-Law. OK, Law it is, yes.

Law goes into the final. We now know our six final categories.

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

-You said you didn't want Law, but overall...

-It's not too bad. It could have been worse.

-You're in with a chance here.

-Yeah, we'll see.

-Christine, for £5,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

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

and one of the Usual Suspects could be playing for a rollover of £6,000 on the next game.

-So, let's play the final round.

-APPLAUSE

Here are your final six categories.

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

-There's no time limit, but once you've given your first answer, it's locked in. Are you ready?

-Yeah.

Let's reveal your first statement. Tell me whether you believe it to be true or false. Blue Peter...

I have seen a Gold badge.

I think that's probably true.

-True?

-Yeah.

Battles...

I've not heard of Marston Moor.

-I'm going to say "false".

-False.

Celebrities...

I think they're sisters.

-False.

-False?

-Yeah.

-Queen...

I think I've heard this before.

He wasn't born in this country, but was it Zanzibar or was it India?

I think it was Zanzibar. I'm going to say "true".

-True?

-Yeah.

-Minogues...

Yes, she is. That's true.

-True?

-Yeah.

-And finally, Law...

I've no clue.

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

-False.

-False?

-Yeah.

-And with that, those answers are locked in.

If there's a single mistake, you leave with nothing.

Which ones are you worried about?

F, maybe B as well. The others, I think I'm OK.

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

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

Christine, 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'll now ask you how well you think Christine has done,

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

-Who would you like to hear from first?

-I'd like to hear from Sam first.

You've got one wrong, definitely. Another, I would want to discuss with you.

What would you come down for?

I'd consider coming down for half.

I'd consider that, but I'll hear what the other two say. What do you think, Roger?

I think you've got a couple wrong.

-I'm not sure about another one. I'm a little reluctant, but I'd like to hear from Ash first of all.

-Ash?

You definitely have one wrong. I would be willing to come and help you as well for 3,000.

That's interesting. Sam wants 2,500 of the 5,000. Ash wants 3,000 of the 5,000 to come down and help.

-Which way do you want to play this?

-Roger, you've had a bit longer to think.

I'm really not sure about one of them and I suspect you're not either.

I think it's probably going to be the same one, so I'm going to rule myself out on this one.

Sam, I wonder if we're thinking on the same lines?

I'm really worried about the other one and with Roger saying he's not sure, he's put me in two minds now.

I think I'm going to rule myself out, Christine.

-That's interesting.

-I'll go back to Ash then.

-I'd be happy to share a risk with you for half.

-For half now?

He's down to £2,500 of the £5,000.

I would be happy for Ash to come down and help me.

-In which case, you're happy to come down for £2,500 of the £5,000? Is that right?

-Yeah.

Then please come and join us.

OK, Christine, you've asked Ash for help.

If you achieve perfection, it will cost you £2,500 of your prize fund of £5,000.

Ash, you've forfeited the chance to play in the next game. This is your only shot at winning Perfection.

Have you made the right decision? Here are the final round statements. All six answers are now unlocked.

Say "hello" to each other and decide which ones to change.

-OK, so, the one that is definitely wrong is F.

-F. That's the one I was worried about.

It's about free transfers in football, so that one is definitely true.

The only other one was B that I wasn't sure of.

-If I was "umming" and "ahhing" about it...

-What do you think?

-Stick with it.

-You've been OK so far.

-We'll change F...

-Yeah, definitely change F.

-..to "true".

-F changes from "false" to "true".

-Anything else you want to change?

-We'll leave the rest.

All the rest remain the same. Your answers are now locked in.

£5,000 at stake, £2,500 for Christine, £2,500 for Ash. Six answers away.

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

Top to bottom is the easiest way to go, so let's start at the top.

"Blue Peter's highest award is the Gold badge." It needs to turn green to get you off to a flying start.

Is it true or false?

It is true. Very well played.

APPLAUSE

-"Marston Moor was a battle of the English Civil War." You "ummed" and "ahhed" about it.

-I wasn't sure.

That would be more fun for the rest of us to skip over that one and come back to it later.

"Kim and Kourtney Kardashian are mother and daughter." You need this to turn red.

If it does, you are a third of the way to the money. Is that true or false?

That is false.

-APPLAUSE

-You're right. They are sisters.

"The singer Freddie Mercury was born in Zanzibar."

Christine, you said "true". If it's right, you are halfway to the money.

You need this to turn green. "The singer Freddie Mercury was born in Zanzibar." True or false?

-It's true.

-APPLAUSE

Well, flying along and correct so far,

so if you're right about Kylie Minogue being older than Dannii, you are just two away from the money.

You said this was true. You need it to turn green. Is it true or false?

-It is true.

-APPLAUSE

Well, those were the ones you were really confident about.

-We'll find out if it was a good idea to have Ash come down and help.

-I trust Ash. I'm sure he's correct.

OK. "The Bosman ruling affects football transfers."

Christine, you answered "false". Ash told you it was definitely true and you should change it.

You need this now to turn green to put you just one away from the £5,000.

"The Bosman ruling affects football transfers."

Is this true or false?

-It's true.

-Well done. APPLAUSE

In 1995, it affected the way players could move from one club to another at the end of their contracts.

The question is whether the last one you discussed, you should have changed it or not.

In the end, you decided to stick with your "false" answer.

"Marston Moor was a battle of the English Civil War."

You said this was false. You need this to turn red.

Is it true or false...

..for five thousand pounds?

It's true.

Oh, no!

It's true.

In 1644.

Christine, Ash, I'm afraid you didn't achieve perfection,

which is fantastic news for you, the Usual Suspects.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game where one of you could be playing for a total of £6,000.

APPLAUSE

Christine, Ash, you go home with nothing other than our thanks for playing the game.

-I hope you've enjoyed it.

-It's been great.

-Yeah.

-Thank you.

Great contestants. Ash and Christine, everybody!

APPLAUSE

It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspects hoping to play Perfection today.

Usual Suspects, please introduce yourselves.

I'm Chris from Middlesex and I'm a secondary school teacher.

Hi, I'm Rose from Shropshire and I'm an accounts administrator.

Best of luck to you all as we find out who has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Sam, it's you. Please come down and join me.

Sam, welcome to the show. It's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

They're now your enemies. The good news is nobody has won the last five games,

so the prize fund currently stands at £6,000.

-APPLAUSE

-What will you be spending it on when you win?

Me and my husband really want to go to America. My children are now 12 and 10, so they want to come as well.

-They want to go skiing, so I think we'll do both - skiing in America.

-Good luck with that.

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

but as soon as Sam makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game.

-Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round One. Your 45 seconds start now.

-I've never heard that. I think I'm going to go with "false".

-False.

I'm pretty sure that the Dolomites are in Italy,

-so that's true.

-True.

I've absolutely no idea. That's an awful lot of submarines.

-False.

-False. And finally...

-I went to see this when it came out and that is true.

-True.

And with perfect use of the time, you've answered all four statements.

-That sounded very positive.

-I'm not sure about A and C.

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

These were the four statements and Sam's answers.

-Roger, is this perfection?

-Regrettably not. The River Fleet runs under Fleet Street, I think.

-Rose, can you see anything wrong with those answers?

-The only one I didn't think she got right was B.

Chris, can you pick any holes in this?

I agree with Roger. I would change "A" from "false" to "true".

The Usual Suspects think you haven't achieved perfection. Let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four is pretty good, but it's not good enough to keep the Usual Suspects out.

They can steal the round. You can see Sam's answers. You need to change one of them, but which one?

I wasn't sure about the mountain range.

-I'm pretty confident about the mountain range.

-I think there are two votes for Fleet Street.

Nick, we'll change "A" from "false" to "true".

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

Let's find out the correct answers. "The Fleet is an underground river in London." Is that true or false?

Yes, that is true and you know where this is going straight away, don't you, Usual Suspects?

"The Dolomites are a European mountain range." True or false?

Yeah, that's true as well. "The Royal Navy has over 100 submarines." True or false?

That's false. I think there's 11. There's a few in development, but 11 in active service currently.

"Jean Valjean is a character in Les Miserables." Is that true or false?

Yeah, that's true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Sam, they succeeded where you failed and have stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you can make Sam's chances of winning the prize fund much harder in the final.

Sam, these six spaces on your final board need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are your choices, starting with Spain, moving on through National Parks and on to The Boat Race.

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round, they choose two categories, hoping to make the final harder.

Which two would you like, Usual Suspects?

-I'd be tempted to go with Doctor Who.

-OK.

-Doctor Who, please.

-Doctor Who goes across to the final.

-And I don't think she knows much about history. Maybe Kings?

-Kings, it is.

-Yeah.

-Kings, please, Nick.

-And Kings goes into the final.

Usual Suspects, you've won the first round. We'll see you in Round Two.

-Do you know much about history?

-A little.

-A little bit.

-Maybe not too much about Kings.

-A bit of a fan of Doctor Who?

-I've never watched Doctor Who in my life.

He judged that well. Let's have a look at those. Pick me two that you would desperately like to avoid.

-Maybe Niagara and possibly The Rolling Stones?

-Which two will you choose when you get the opportunity?

World Cup or Spain possibly. And I may choose Seafood even though I don't eat fish.

-You still have two more rounds to find perfection and choose your own categories. Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Then let's play Round Two.

-APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

Surely not...

-No, false.

-False.

They've been around a long time. 1900...

-I'm going to say..."true".

-True.

-That is true.

-True. And finally...

I haven't got a clue. Pirates, Poole...?

-I'll go "true".

-True.

-Good use of the time to think about that last one. Leaving that aside, good round?

-No.

-Not particularly.

-Tough one, was it?

-Yeah, I think C is OK, but the rest were guesses.

Let's bring back the Usual Suspects. Here are the four statements and next to them are Sam's answers.

-Chris, is this perfection?

-I'm not convinced B is correct. I can't believe Premium Bonds were Victorian.

-Roger, what do you make of these answers?

-I also think B is false.

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

Three out of four is a good score,

but again not good enough.

You've allowed the Usual Suspects into the game. A chance to steal this round.

You need to change just one answer. Which one?

-I'll go with you boys.

-Yes, are we happy with that?

-That makes sense.

It's B we're changing from "true" to "false", Nick.

B's changing from "true" to "false", leaving A, C and D as they are.

You didn't take a long time chatting about that. You are of one mind.

They're ganging up against you here. Let's find out what the correct answers are.

"10 Downing Street has a helipad." True or false?

Yeah, it's false, so it doesn't.

"Premium Bonds were introduced in the UK in 1900." This is the key one. Is that true or false?

Yeah, it is false.

Introduced in 1956. "Hollandaise sauce contains egg yolk." True or false?

Yes, it's true. "Belle Vue Aces and Poole Pirates

"are speedway teams." True or false?

That is, of course, true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

-Sam, very good of you to applaud there.

-It's reluctant.

I feel silly about the Premium Bonds now. I should have known that.

The Usual Suspects have stolen the round. Let's see the final board.

It's occupied by two subject categories chosen by the Usual Suspects. They won Round Two,

so they choose the next two as well.

-Which ones do you fancy?

-I rather fancy The Rolling Stones myself.

-OK...

-Let's go for The Rolling Stones.

-Rolling Stones goes in. Thank you very much. And...?

-National Parks?

-National Parks?

-Why not?

-Let's go for that.

National Parks goes into the final.

Usual Suspects, you won the second round. It's time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round Three.

-I definitely didn't want Rolling Stones.

-National Parks?

-Maybe.

-Depends what the question is.

You still have a chance to find perfection. You're getting close. You need to go one step further.

-Ready for the next round?

-Yeah.

-Let's play Round Three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-That sounds feasible. "Hypno..." I'll go "true".

-True.

-Yeah, that one is true.

-True.

I believe she was our first female to win a gold in boxing.

-That's true.

-True. And finally...

Roman. Was he Roman?

-I'll go "true".

-True.

That felt like a stronger round.

I can't decide whether Vulcan was Roman or a different type of god.

-Right.

-I could be there.

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

Here are the four statements and next to them are Sam's answers.

-Chris, has she achieved perfection?

-I think she has. I would have answered the same way.

-Roger, do you agree?

-Round Three is very good for you, Sam.

-Rose, what do you think?

-Well done, Sam. That's perfection.

That's about as good a recommendation as you can get. Let's see how many are correct.

Congratulations, Sam. You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Well played. Let's take a look at those answers in a bit more detail.

"Hypnophobia is an abnormal fear of falling asleep." Of course, it is true.

"Elvis Costello's backing band was The Attractions." You said that was true and it is, of course, true.

"Nicola Adams won a boxing gold at the 2012 Olympics." You said it was true and, of course, it is true.

And "Vulcan was the Roman god of fire".

And that is...true.

Sam, you've made winning the prize fund a bit easier. Let's have a look at your final board.

Four subject categories chosen by the Usual Suspects, but you won that round, so you choose the last two.

-Fire way.

-I think I'll go with Seafood.

-Seafood goes into the final.

And I think I'm going to go with...Money.

And Money. We now know our six final categories.

Usual Suspects, time to switch you off for the last time. Cheerio.

-Not the worst board you could have had.

-Not too bad. Let's give it a go.

All right, Sam, for £6,000, it's time to play the final.

Sam, this is the all-important final. If you achieve perfection, you could be leaving with £6,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing

and one of the Usual Suspects could be playing for a rollover of £7,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

Here are your final six categories. You must answer all six statements correctly to win £6,000.

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

Let's reveal your first statement. Tell me whether you believe it to be true or false. Doctor Who...

OK, I can hear the Doctor Who theme in my head.

I can also hear Tubular Bells in my head. Are they near...the same?

-I'm going to go with "true".

-True. Kings...

Is he the one that abdicated?

He did live in Paris.

-Bizarrely, I'm going to go "true".

-True.

Rolling Stones...

20 No.1s is a lot.

-And yet I'm going to go "true".

-True.

National Parks...

Exmoor National Park is in Devon, I believe,

-so I'm going to go "false" for that one.

-False. Seafood...

I'm a vegetarian, but I do know that "calamari" is Italian for "squid".

-That's true.

-True.

And Money...

I've never had a £100 note.

-I'm going to go "false".

-False.

You've answered all six statements and those answers are locked in.

-If there's one single mistake, you leave with nothing. Which ones are you worried about?

-A, B, C.

LAUGHTER I think D and E are OK.

-It's the first half you're worried about?

-The ones they chose.

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

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

Sam, your answers are now locked in. If you think you've made a mistake,

you can unlock them with the help of the Usual Suspects, but at a cost.

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

-Rose.

-There's two I think you've got wrong.

One I'm sure of, one I'm not so sure of, so I don't think I'll come down.

- Chris, what about you? - Four have question marks for me.

I'm not prepared to help for that reason.

-What about you, Roger?

-Sam, I'd love to come down and help you. I know one of them is wrong.

I'm not certain about the other one, but I would like to discuss it with you and I'd go for half.

OK, the prize fund is £6,000. Roger's prepared to come down and help for half the money, £3,000.

I'm not sure on two and I think you're going to know those, so I'd like you to come down for half.

-So, we're agreed? Roger, for half the money, you'll come down?

-Yeah.

Good. For £3,000 of the £6,000 on offer, Roger, please come and join us.

APPLAUSE

You've asked Roger for help. If you achieve perfection, it will cost you £3,000 of your prize fund of £6,000.

Roger, you cannot now play in the next game. This is your only shot at winning Perfection.

Have you made the right decision? Let's find out. Here are the final round statements.

All six answers are unlocked. Chat about which ones you want to change.

I'm not sure about The Rolling Stones, Sam. They've had a lot of No.1 singles.

-Shall we just park that one for the moment?

-Yeah, I think they're really popular.

-But I can't name 20 No.1s.

-No, I can't.

-Let's go for B and see what we think about those.

-Edward VIII was the one who abdicated.

-He lived in Paris.

-He was there with Wallis Simpson, so there's a good chance...

-I think so.

-Would they not have brought him back?

-I don't know. If that was your gut reaction, let's go with it.

-What about "A"?

-The one I do know is Mike Oldfield and the Doctor Who theme.

-Doctor Who was the...

-SINGS THEME TUNE

It was the electronic one and it was written by the Electronic Workshop.

-I'm sure it was written by a guy called Percy Grainger. I'm sure that's wrong.

-OK.

-So, C, I think we should change it.

-I think we should go with your gut reaction and go "false".

It seems to be too neat to be 20. Maybe hits, but not 20 No.1s.

I thought "false", but at the last minute, I changed to "true". I'm tempted to go back to "false".

-What do you want to change?

-We'll change "A", the Mike Oldfield one, from "true" to "false".

"A" changes from "true" to "false".

We're also going to change C, The Rolling Stones, from "true" to "false".

-C changes from "true" to "false".

-We'll leave the others as they are.

OK, B, D, E and F remain as you originally answered, Sam.

Those answers are now locked in.

£6,000 at stake, £3,000 to Sam, £3,000 to Roger. Six answers away.

Let's find out if you achieved perfection.

All the interest is around the top, so let's start at the bottom and make our way up.

"The Bank of England issues a £100 note." You said this was false.

You need it to turn red to get you off to a good start. True or false?

It is false. Very well done.

APPLAUSE

Oddly enough, though, the Bank of Scotland issues a £100 note.

"Calamari is Italian for squid." You don't eat fish, but you knew this to be true.

We need this to turn green. True or false?

It is true. Very well done.

APPLAUSE

"Exmoor National Park is in Dorset." For this, you said it was false.

-You thought it was in...?

-Devon.

If this turns red, you are halfway to the money - £6,000.

"Exmoor National Park is in Dorset." Is it true or false?

-It is false.

-APPLAUSE

In actual fact, it's in Somerset and Devon.

Good start. Halfway through. Those were the ones you were confident in.

Now we get to the ones that are of more interest.

"The Rolling Stones have had 20 UK No.1 singles." Sam, you thought that was too many, but went with "true".

Having opened up the board, you decided this might be one to change.

Have you changed away from a correct answer or changed to a correct answer?

"The Rolling Stones have had 20 UK No.1 singles."

You changed this from "true" to "false". You need it to turn red.

Is it true or false?

It is false. Very well done.

APPLAUSE

They've had a lot of hits, but only eight UK No.1 singles.

Sam, if Roger hadn't come down to help you, you would have lost the money.

"Edward VIII is buried in Paris." Sam, you said "true".

If this turns green, you're one away from the money. Is it true or false?

It's false.

-Oh...

-Sorry.

He died in France, but as you said, Sam, they brought him back

and he's buried near Windsor, in actual fact.

-Hey-ho.

-Hmm.

-That's pretty harsh. You haven't achieved perfection and you won't be taking home the money.

Let's see whether you can achieve perfection at home.

"Mike Oldfield wrote the Doctor Who theme." True or false?

-Yeah, it is false.

-Never mind.

-Ron Grainer was the actual...

-Percy Grainger, I was saying.

-Yeah.

Apart from that one, you would have achieved perfection, but unfortunately, you didn't.

Usual Suspects, the prize fund rolls over to the next game where one of you could be playing for £7,000.

APPLAUSE

Sam, Roger, you failed to achieve perfection. You go home with just our thanks for being great players.

Roger, you've been here for ever. Been on the programme more than me!

-Great contestants, the two of you. Roger and Sam, ladies and gentlemen!

-APPLAUSE

That's all we have time for. Join us next time when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play for £7,000.

Remember, on this show, five out of six isn't good enough, I'm afraid.

We only pay for absolute perfection. Goodbye.
