Episode 17 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz show that demands nothing less than perfection.

Behind this screen are four contestants all hoping their knowledge is flawless.

One mistake could give the game away. This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

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...

..would you say that's true or false?

Well, if you'd said true I can tell you you'd be right.

Answering true or false might seem easy,

but if the contestant gets 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.

Hello. My name's Val. I live in Bedford.

I'm a retired quantity surveyor, and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Amy. I'm from Exeter.

I'm a grants assistant, and this is my second game.

I'm David. I'm from Macclesfield. I'm a marketing officer, and this is my second game.

Hi. My name's Darren. I live near Birmingham.

I'm a sales manager, and this is my third 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.

Please come out and join me.

APPLAUSE

David, welcome to the show. I was looking through your notes.

One of the most interesting things about you is you've already made a bucket list.

I have, Nick, yeah.

When I turned 27 I had a list of things that I wanted to do at 27,

but it's less about bucket-list type things like parachutes, and more about things I can actually achieve.

OK, so things you want to do before you get to 30?

Yes. Things like what, for example?

Shear a sheep, milk a cow, things like that, really.

Run a marathon as well. That's on there.

Any grand ambitions? I'd love to run across the Moroccan desert for the Marathon des Sables.

It's something I've always wanted to do. It's a 250km foot race across the desert.

It's five or ten marathons in six days, or something ridiculous.

It's a big undertaking. It's something I've had in my mind I want to do for a long time.

It's something I said I'd do with a friend who's actually really sick at the moment.

Something I want to achieve because he can't go with me,

so...

Any winnings here would go into the pot to help get that one.

OK, well, look, best of luck. It's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your teammates. They're now your enemies. Their job is to stop you winning the prize.

Your failure will mean the prize money rolls over to the next round

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

Every game is worth £1,000. Unfortunately for you, the previous game was won.

The Prize Fund is reset to £1,000.

APPLAUSE

£1,000 is good money by anybody's standards.

What are you going to spend £1,000 on? Obviously, you've mentioned already...

The marathon des Sables is a big one for me.

I think my brother's getting married in October, so it would be nice... We've got a stag do arranged.

Nice little bit of spend, and just kind of be able

to make life a little bit easier for the next few months.

Just takes the pressure off a bit, that kind of money.

OK, here's how the game works. You'll play three rounds and then 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 the chance to step in and steal the round,

making the Final much harder for you.

More of that to follow later. Usual Suspects,

we're going to switch you off for now so you can't see or hear anything.

Each round consists of four true or false statements.

You'll be answering against the clock. You'll only have 45 seconds.

Once you've given your first answer, it will be locked in. Are you ready?

I am. Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1. Your 45 seconds starts now.

It's sounds like a Hungarian type of word.

I haven't been there myself, but I'm going to say that one's true.

I've had some hot curries in my time, and the bhuna is somewhere in the mid-range.

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

That's true, because it's the irony of Dr Legg being a doctor.

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

Uh... I haven't heard of her.

I'm going to say true for that one.

You've answered all four statements.

Sounded OK?

Not too bad. Not too sure about the last one. The others, fairly confident.

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

Hello. These are the four statements, and next to them are David's answers.

Darren, has he achieved perfection?

Haven't got the faintest idea about D. Apart from that I think all the rest are great.

Amy, can you shed any light on these? I'm not at all sure about A or D.

I think those would be the ones that I would change.

Val, what do you think of those answers?

I actually think David's got perfection there.

The moment of truth. You need to have answered all statements perfectly to win the round.

Let's see how many are correct.

Just two out of four.

As I always say, in a 50-50 game that's a very average score.

You have not achieved perfection, and have let your enemies the Usual Suspects into the game.

Can you steal the round? You can seen David's answers.

You need to change two of them. Which two?

Does anyone know anything about violinists? Yeah, she was a cellist.

Thank you, so that's a good start. Dr Legg was definitely in EastEnders.

Yeah. Bhuna is quite a mild curry.

The hottest I think is phaal, isn't it, so...

Nick, can we please change A from true to false?

A changes from true to false.

And D from true to false. And D from true to false.

Leaving B and C as answered by David.

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

The forint in the currency of Hungary.

The kopek is actually a Russian coin.

100 kopeks to the rouble.

READS STATEMENT

Bhuna's relatively mild, and Amy, as you said,

the phaal is generally considered the hottest.

READS STATEMENT

READS STATEMENT

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You HAVE achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Just to say that Jacqueline du Pre, as Val said, was a cellist.

So, David, they succeeded where you failed, and they've stolen the round.

As a result, Usual Suspects, you have the opportunity

to make David's chances of winning the Prize Fund that much harder in the Final.

Here's how. David, appearing before you is your Final Board.

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

Here are your final round category choices.

If you had won that round you'd have the opportunity

of adding two categories of your choice to the board.

But because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you

they choose the two categories, hoping to make the Final that much harder for you.

So, which two would you like him to play, Usual Suspects?

What about hymns? And cosmetics.

I was going to say exactly the same two, Val.

Hymns and cosmetics.

Are we sure he's not into cosmetics?

Well, we don't know, do we?

Yeah? Hymns...

Cosmetics.

Make their way into the Final.

Well done, Usual Suspects, you've won the first round.

Time to switch you off, and we'll see you in Round 2.

Um, you know much about cosmetics?

My girlfriend does.

Yeah!

Me maybe not so much. I'm not so much one for the guyliner, or anything like that, so...

Yeah, I know what you mean. Hymns...

Depends on the hymn, I think. OK. Take a look at the list over there.

Tell me which two maybe that you'd like to avoid.

The Hebrides, maybe. And Remedies.

And the two you'll be choosing for yourself when you get the opportunity?

If Neighbours refers to the Australian soap I'm probably OK with that one.

So maybe that one, and dog breeds. I'll take that.

All right, then. It's only the first round.

You still have two rounds to find perfection, and choose your own categories for the Final.

Are you ready to carry on? I am. Then let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

Uh, I'm going to say false to that one, Nick.

It's one of those names... Boxing's not great for me,

but it's one of those names that does stick out.

I'm going to say true to that one.

I think dinosaurs go all the way down to crocodiles and that kind of thing.

And they're reptiles, so yeah. Saying...? True for that one.

I know in Harry Potter the bankers are goblins.

But... I'm going to say true, actually.

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

How was that? There was a lot of unknown quantities there for me.

We'll see, I think. Before we find out exactly, let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements, and next to them David's answers.

Amy, did he achieve perfection? I'm not sure he has, actually.

There are a few questions there I'm not sure about myself.

I only know one for certain, and that's C.

Val, what do you think? I don't think he's got perfection.

Swiss bankers are known as the Gnomes of Zurich.

Darren, what do you think of those answers?

Exactly the same as Val. D's definitely wrong.

Also I'm not convinced that Sonny Liston retired undefeated.

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

Just one out of four. Going in the wrong direction, I'm afraid.

You haven't achieved perfection, which means the Usual Suspects

have a chance to steal the round.

Usual Suspects, can you steal this round?

You can see those answers. You need to change three of them, but which three?

Definitely D. I'll go with that.

I'm very wary of the dinosaurs are reptiles. Really?

I'm fairly certain they are. We know crocodiles are reptiles.

Crocodiles are descendants of dinosaurs, so that's kind of a pretty -

ONE of the descendants of dinosaurs. Does anybody know A?

No, not 100 per cent.

You're Captain. Thank you very much.

That was a sudden shuffling of responsibility.

I'm going to say A, B and D.

Yeah.

I'm going to go with you as it's two to one.

Nick, can we please change A from false to true?

B from true to false.

And D from true to false.

Leaving C as answered by David.

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

READS STATEMENT

READS STATEMENT

He lost four fights, including one very famously to Muhammad Ali.

READS STATEMENT

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

READS STATEMENT

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection again.

APPLAUSE

They have been called Gnomes of Zurich, as Val mentioned.

So, David, the Usual Suspects have done it again.

They succeeded where you failed, and they've nicked the round off you.

As a result, you can make David's chances of winning the Prize Fund much harder.

Let's see the Final Board.

Two subject categories on there chosen by the Usual Suspects.

Because you won that round as well, you get to choose the next two.

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

Do you think he watches Neighbours? He might do.

It's kind of had a bit of a renaissance.

Quite a lot of students watch it.

What about Hebrides? Yeah.

We'll definitely go for the Hebrides, please. Hebrides goes into the final.

Dickens? Dickens or Kipling.

Whichever. And Dickens, please.

And Dickens makes it into the final.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You've won the second round as well.

Time to switch you off, but we'll see you in Round 3.

They're murdering you. A little bit.

I'm not too unhappy with those choices. I did Dickens at school.

I'd like to think I could hazard a guess at some answers there.

So Dickens, not too unhappy with. Hebrides...

Maybe more tricky.

Yeah. Perfection in this third round would be the key, yes? Yes. I agree.

Are you ready? I'm good. Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

I think he's a career politician.

It doesn't ring a bell, so I'm going to say, uh...

..false.

I think the name might be a little bit of a...

I'm going to say...

true to that one.

Ooh, not sure. I'm going to say false.

She's had plenty. I'm sure she had one before Skyfall.

I'm going to say false to that one.

And with time to spare you answered all four statements.

That sounded a bit more positive. I'd like to think so, yeah.

I felt very positive about the first round.

Second not so much. Third round...

Yeah, fairly confident. You kind of need this one, really.

It'd be nice to choose a couple of subjects of your own for that final.

All right, before we reveal exactly how well you've done, it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Val, can you see anything wrong with those answers?

I have to confess, I haven't got the faintest idea on this round.

It's a toughie, you think. Amy, what do you make of it?

I think he might have perfection.

Darren, can you see any mistakes? Sorry to copy Amy again, but yeah, I think he's got perfection.

Well, David, it's a vote of confidence from the Usual Suspects.

Let's see how many are correct.

APPLAUSE

Congratulations, David. You achieved perfection.

Very well done. Must be chuffed to bits with that.

Happy with that. Let's go through them one at a time.

You said Gordon Brown was a career politician.

Interesting, though. His father was a minister in the Church of Scotland.

READS STATEMENT

You said this was likely to be leading you in the wrong direction, so you put true. Yeah.

READS STATEMENT

That's way too early.

16th Century was when it happened.

READS STATEMENT

It only reached number 2 as well, so it wasn't a number 1.

Right.

So, David, as a result of that perfect performance

you've made winning the Prize Fund a lot easier.

Let's have a look at the Final Board.

Four subject categories already in there, chosen by the Usual Suspects.

But because you won that round, you get to add two to complete the board.

Which two would you like? I think I'm going to stick with what I talked about earlier.

I'll go Dog Breeds first of all, I think.

Dog Breeds goes into the Final.

And in the hope it'll be something I know about the Aussie soap, I'm going to put Neighbours in there.

And Neighbours goes into the Final as well. We know now our six categories.

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

David, for £1,000, it's time to play the Final.

APPLAUSE

David, this is the all-important Final. If you can achieve perfection,

you could be leaving with a Prize Fund of £1,000.

If you fail you'll be leaving with nothing, which will be great news for the Usual Suspects.

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

So let's play the final round.

Here are your final six categories.

Now, you must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £1,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit,

but once you've given an answer - your first answer - it's locked in.

Let's reveal your first statement. Please tell me whether you believe it to be true or false.

No.

I'm casting my mind back to the most recent FA Cup Final.

I know there was four classical singers singing the hymn before the final,

and I'm fairly certain it's Abide With Me.

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

Cosmetics.

It's not something that I would automatically think of,

but there's something in the back of my mind that rings true, so I'm going to say true to that one.

The Hebrides.

Now, this is the kind of question I was unsure about

when the Hebrides came up.

It's sketchy for me. I think Mull might be one of those that's a little bit closer to the mainland.

I'm going to say true to that one.

Dickens.

I'm just going to scrutinise that question

just to make sure there's not anything I'm tripping up on there,

but I'm fairly sure it's Ebenezer Scrooge, so I'm going to say that one's false.

Dog breeds.

Now, I know historically they were alongside carriages and that kind of thing,

which is where it comes from with the Queen.

I think badger hunts... I think the dachshunds, the German dog, small sausage dog-type dog.

So I think false.

And finally, Neighbours.

Now, I know the area they live in is Erinsborough.

But I'm fairly certain that's kind of a borough of Melbourne,

so I'm going to say that one is true.

And with that, all six statements are locked in.

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

Which ones are you worried about?

The one I'd be most concerned about is the Isle of Mull question.

I think that's C. Simply because...

I don't know my Scottish islands, so...

that's the one I think I'd have most concern about out of those six.

OK, 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 David's answers.

Your answers are now locked. You can't change them by yourself, but if you think you made a mistake

you can unlock them 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 David has done,

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

David, who would you like to hear from first?

I'd like to speak to Val, please, first.

I think you've done pretty well there.

The ones I'm not sure about I'm not sure about enough to come down and help you,

so I'm sorry - I'm ruling myself out this time.

OK. Val's out of the equation.

Other end, I'll go to Darren.

I think you've got one wrong.

And there is one I wasn't sure of.

Because I'm unsure, I wouldn't like to come down and ruin it for you.

And you're hoping the money will roll over. Of course.

Fair enough, yeah.

Anybody else? I'll see what Amy's got to say.

Um, I think you've got one wrong.

But it's not enough to tempt me. I'm sorry.

All right, OK. It was always going to be tough at £1,000. It was.

It'd have been tricky to get anyone down, I think.

None of the Usual Suspects are prepared to help, so you're on your own.

£1,000 at stake, six answers away.

Let's find out whether you managed to achieve perfection on your own.

Right, let's start at the top.

You said this was true.

You seemed to remember it being the song that was being sung before the last Cup Final.

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

READS SECOND STATEMENT

You had a long think. There was something niggling at the back of your head that said this was right.

READS THIRD STATEMENT

This was the one you really didn't want to get, and you got.

You weren't sure, so let's leave it till later.

READS FOURTH STATEMENT

You searched this with a real suspicious look.

You thought it must be some trick, but you decided it was Ebenezer, so you went for false.

You need this to turn red to get you halfway to the money.

And of course, it is Ebenezer.

READS FIFTH STATEMENT

You thought this unlikely, so you said false.

Actually, corgis are herding dogs.

Which brings us to the TV soap Neighbours.

This was one you chose for yourself as well.

The TV soap Neighbours is set in Melbourne.

Now, you know that it's set in the borough of... Erinsborough.

You think it might be in Melbourne, so you went for true.

If this turns green, you are just one away from the £1,000.

READS STATEMENT

Which brings us back to the Hebrides question.

READS STATEMENT

It's kind of a tough one, this, because it's just a subject you didn't want. Yeah.

Wouldn't it be great, though, to win on a subject you didn't want and didn't know?

It would be sweet.

If this turns red the money will roll over for the Usual Suspects.

READS STATEMENT

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

For £1,000.

It's false, I'm afraid.

That one. That was the one.

Well, you always knew that was the one, and at that point it was a 50-50 chance.

You actually get there by ferry.

A tough one. Great news for the Usual Suspects as the Prize Fund rolls over to the next game.

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

Bad luck. It was a good go, but you failed to achieve perfection,

which means you go home with nothing other than our thanks for playing.

I hope you enjoyed yourself. Certainly have.

Let's hear it for David, ladies and gentlemen.

Right, it's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hello. I'm Katie, I'm from Northumberland, and I'm a teacher.

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

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

APPLAUSE

Darren, welcome to the game. Thank you.

I notice on your notes, you're a bit accident-prone, aren't you?

Didn't you have a parascending incident?

Yes, in Tunisia, actually.

I was mistaken for a French person,

and you had to basically pull a cord when you were coming down to avoid things on the way back down.

Right. And no-one was shouting to me to pull the cord.

I was getting very, very close to a hut with a very sharp spike on the top on the beach.

And luckily my wife spoke French, and she realised

just in time that they think Darren's French.

She shouted pull, and I just missed it by a foot, maybe.

Otherwise you'd be speaking in a much higher voice.

Absolutely.

OK, Darren, well, let's hope you're not accident-prone today.

It's now you versus the Usual Suspects. They were your teammates. They're now your enemies.

I've just noticed it's boys against girls.

We've had a few occasions where it's been all guys, and one woman down here.

But now it you versus the ladies. Good luck with that. Thank you.

Here's the good news. Nobody won the last game, so the Prize Fund currently stands at £2,000.

APPLAUSE

So, what are you going to spend the money on when you win it?

I think it's got to go towards my tenth wedding anniversary. We'd like to go somewhere nice.

I think the wife might have picked out a little Greek island or something like that.

Tunisia and a bit of parascending? Absolutely not.

No Tunisia, definitely no parascending.

OK, well, good luck with that. Three rounds and the Final to come.

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

But as soon as Darren makes a mistake, you will be back in the game.

Are you ready? I am. Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1. Your 45 seconds start now.

I believe that's true.

I'm not 100 per cent sure.

I'm going to say true.

Haven't the faintest idea.

False.

True.

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

Good time management. You had time to think.

Surprising how long that 45 seconds is. Probably rushed a bit.

Well, before we reveal exactly how well you've done, it's time for us to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, here are the four statements, and next to them are Darren's answers.

Amy, has he achieved perfection? I think he may have done, actually.

Yeah, I don't think I would change anything.

Val, would you change any of those answers? No, I agree with Amy.

I'm pretty sure he's got perfection.

Katie, can you find anything wrong with these answers?

No, I think he's done pretty well. I'm very impressed with him.

The ladies are very impressed with you, Darren.

That's got to take something.

The moment of truth. You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round.

Congratulations, Darren. You have achieved perfection. Thank you.

That's the way to play the game. Let's go through those in more detail.

Also known as Constantinople at one stage.

READS STATEMENT

It is in fact an oratorio.

READS STATEMENT

Darren, as a result of that perfect performance

you've made winning the Prize Fund a lot easier.

Here's how. This is your Final Board appearing before you.

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

Here are your Final Round category options.

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

Which two would you like to play?

I think I'll take Birds.

Birds goes into the Final.

And Oscars, please.

And Oscars. Usual Suspects, you didn't get a look-in there.

But you might do in Round 2. That's where we'll see you next. Cheerio.

Look at the list that's available, and tell me which two you'd be keen to avoid.

Art galleries, Heraldry, Beatles, possibly.

And the next two you'll be choosing. 70s movies.

China. OK, Darren, you made a great start to the game.

If you're ready, let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

True.

I'm not... I'm pretty sure that's false.

Never heard of it.

Let's say...

I'm going to say false.

I'm not a huge poetry fan,

but I've got a sneaky feeling that could be true.

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

Very calm. Good round?

There's a couple I guessed, if I'm honest. OK.

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

Here are the statements, and next to them are Darren's answers.

Val, has he made a mistake this time?

No. Once again I think he's done pretty well.

I think you got perfection.

Katy, help us out here. Has he made a mistake anywhere?

The only one I'm not too sure on is C,

because I know in Mexico they have all sorts of different festivals.

There's an outside chance that there is one about radishes.

Amy, what do you think?

I'm actually thinking that B could be true.

I know that batteries do contain acid of some kind.

I'm not absolutely certain that it's nitric acid.

But I'm questioning B. OK, Darren, the moment of truth.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Well, it's a good round, but it's not perfection,

which means your enemies the Usual Suspects are into the game.

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

You need to change just one of them, but which one?

I know for certain that cars', vehicles' batteries contain acid.

Is it not sulphuric acid, though, which is rather...

I know John Keats did write Endymion. OK.

So it's between B and C, basically.

Was Leonardo definitely in Django Unchained?

Yeah. It's a recent film? Yeah, I think so.

I think the radishes could be in there with a good bet.

What about you, Val?

I think I'd go with the radishes. OK.

We're going to go with C to change.

From false to true, with A, B and D remaining as Darren answered.

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

It is false. In fact, it's sulphuric acid, as Katie said.

Yes, they carve shapes out of the radishes.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Mind you, when you think of some of the festivals that we have around the UK during the course of the year

I don't suppose a festival of radishes is that daft after all.

Darren, the Usual Suspects have achieved perfection where you failed,

and they've stolen the round, so, Usual Suspects,

you now have the opportunity to make Darren's chances

of winning the Prize Fund of £2,000 that little bit harder.

of winning the Prize Fund of £2,000 that little bit harder.

Let's see the Final Board.

First two subject categories on there chosen by Darren,

you get to choose the next two, so which two would you like him to play in the Final?

I was tempted by Heraldry. Me too.

Looks like a good one. Possibly diseases.

The H's go in.

Thank you very much, Usual Suspects. Congratulations. You won the second round.

It's time to switch you off, but we will see you in Round 3.

You didn't fancy heraldry, and they zoomed in on it.

Yep.

That's kind of tough, isn't it? Headwear?

Could be anything. Yeah, absolutely.

Not the most damaging. They could have picked the two you didn't want.

They've only picked one of the two.

Best bet is to achieve perfection in the next round and choose your own subjects.

I'll try. Are you ready to play the next round? I am. Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

It is a liqueur.

I'll say true.

Pretty sure that is true.

Really not sure.

I'm going to have a guess at...

..true.

And with that, you've answered all four statements.

It seemed to be going very well up until D.

Never heard of the lady, I'm afraid.

All right. Before we reveal exactly 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 Darren's answers.

Katie, has he achieved perfection? I don't think he has this time.

I think A is incorrect, because I think Galliano is hazelnut-flavoured liqueur.

Val, can you see any mistakes there? I agree with Katie.

I love coconut, but I've never heard of Galliano, so I think she's probably right.

Amy, what do you think of those answers?

Yeah. I'm agreeing with them, and I'm also questioning C.

It sounds improbable, but I know marble is an igneous rock.

Probably the Giant's Causeway possibly consists of igneous rock,

so I'm not sure about that one either.

OK, the moment of truth. You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to win.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Oops. As a result, you have not achieved perfection, and you've let your enemies into the game.

Can you steal the round? You can see Darren's answers. You need to change two of them.

Because B's right.

D's right, so it must be A and C.

OK, we're going to change A and C, please.

Leaving B and D as answered by Darren.

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

READS STATEMENT

Nancy Astor was a Conservative, and she was the first woman to sit as an MP in the House of Commons.

So, Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection

you would now have the opportunity to make Darren's chances of winning the Prize Fund much harder.

Let's have a look at the Final Board.

We've still got two spaces to fill. Nobody won Round 3.

So, how do we fill those spaces? Well, we take it in turns to choose a category.

Darren, as a single player, you get to choose first. Which category would you like?

I'm going to stick to what I said earlier, and go for 1970s movies.

1970s movies goes into the Final. Usual Suspects, you get to choose the last category.

Diseases? Yeah. We'll have Diseases, please, Nick.

And Diseases makes the Final. We now know our six final categories. They are...

Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you off, but we'll see you later.

Well, diseases...

Again, could be anything. Could be, couldn't it?

Darren, for £2,000, it's time to play the Final.

APPLAUSE

This is the all-important Final. If you can achieve perfection,

you could be leaving with a Prize Fund of £2,000.

If you fail, you'll be leaving with nothing, which would be great news for the Usual Suspects

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

Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Darren, here are your final six categories.

Now, you must answer all six statements correctly if you want to win the £2,000.

Think carefully. There is no time limit,

but once you've given an answer - your first answer - it's locked in.

Are you ready? I am. Then let's reveal your first statement.

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

Birds.

If it'd just been the Brent up there I'd be pretty happy that was correct.

Never heard of a Barnacle goose.

I'm going to say true.

Oscars.

Erring on the side of caution, I think that's false,

but I'm not 100 per cent sure.

I'm going to go false.

Heraldry.

For one reason, it sounds too obvious.

I'm going to say false.

Headwear.

I've heard the name.

I think it is religious. I'm not 100 per cent sure it's Catholic.

Say true.

1970s movies.

I believe it's true.

True? True.

And finally, Diseases.

I think I've heard of it. I think that's true.

And with that, the six statements are locked in.

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

Which ones are you worried about? Most of them.

There's nothing standing out that I'm 100 per cent on, if I'm honest.

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

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

Next to them are Darren's answers.

Darren, your answers are now locked in, and you can't change them by yourself.

But if you think you made a mistake, you can unlock them with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will however come at a cost.

Darren, who would you like to hear from first?

I think I'll hear from Val first, please.

There are three I'm really not sure about, Darren,

and I know I couldn't help you if I came down,

so I won't be coming down this time.

That's OK, Val.

Katie, please.

I'm afraid there are three that I'm not sure on as well.

So I wouldn't be confident to help you, so I won't be coming down this time.

Thanks for being honest. Amy?

I'm afraid, Darren, I'm going to say exactly the same thing.

It's possibly even the same three questions, but there are three I'm really not certain on.

I'm not going to risk it. I'm afraid negotiations at this stage appear to be over.

I think I should take it on my own, then, Nick. You think so?

Darren, you're going it alone. £2,000 at stake.

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

Let's take a look at it.

READS STATEMENT

You were happy with Brent. You weren't so sure about Barnacle, but you went with true anyway.

We need this to turn green to get you off to a good start. Is it true or false?

That's one. Very good.

READS STATEMENT

You need this to turn red. Is it true or false?

Very well done.

Seth McFarlane was the host.

So we go to the next one.

READS STATEMENT

You said that you thought it was too obvious, really.

Yes, I did!

OK. You went for false. If this turns red, you are now halfway to the money all on your own.

Let's hope for your sake it turns red.

READS STATEMENT

I'm afraid that's true, and as a result

it means you can't achieve perfection, Darren,

and you won't be taking the £2,000 home.

But you kind of had a feeling it wasn't going well for you.

Tough board. It was a very tough board.

Maybe you can still achieve perfection at home,

so let's go through the rest of those statements and answers.

And also, just see how well you did with such a tough board.

READS STATEMENT

Now, you said you thought it was religious apparel of some kind.

You said true, so we'd like this to be true for you.

It's a four-cornered cap

you may have seen Catholic clergy wearing.

READS STATEMENT

Val's nodding, saying it's true, and of course it is true.

Then we come to the final one.

READS STATEMENT

What do we think? Nodding, or shaking our heads up there, Usual Suspects?

LAUGHTER

There was no point them coming down.

No, especially at this stage.

READS STATEMENT

It's an inflammation of the tip of the finger or toe.

Oh.

So in the end, what did we get? Four out of six,

which on a rotten board is actually not a bad score, really.

But it means you haven't taken home the cash.

Usual Suspects, great news for you.

The Prize Fund rolls over to the next game,

where one of you could be playing for a total of £3,000.

APPLAUSE

Interesting that. You got the three subjects you chose for yourself correct.

The three subjects that were set for you by the Usual Suspects

were the ones that you failed on.

Which I kind of think was what you were planning, really,

to try and make it as difficult as possible.

That's the plan. To make the money roll over.

Katie, it was a particularly tough board you set him.

I thought it was very tough. I wouldn't have liked to have answered it myself.

Darren, you failed to achieve perfection,

which means you go home with nothing other than our thanks for playing.

I hope you enjoyed the whole process.

It's been a great experience. Lovely. Thank you for playing.

Let's hear it for Darren, everybody.

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 £3,000.

Remember, it's a tough one to win, this.

On this show, we only pay for perfection.

Goodbye.

APPLAUSE
