0:00:01 > 0:00:07Welcome to the show that demands perfection. These four contestants hope their knowledge is flawless
0:00:07 > 0:00:11because one mistake could give the game away. This is Perfection.
0:00:21 > 0:00:23APPLAUSE
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Hello. Welcome to Perfection where only perfect play is good enough.
0:00:27 > 0:00:32Behind me are the contestants, the Usual Suspects, in our isolation room.
0:00:32 > 0:00:37In a moment, we'll find out which one has been randomly selected to play Perfection.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40They then face a series of "true or false" statements.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42For example, if I said...
0:00:43 > 0:00:45..would you say that is true or false?
0:00:45 > 0:00:48If you said "true", I can tell you you'd be right.
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Answering "true" or "false" might seem easy,
0:00:51 > 0:00:54but if the contestants get a single answer wrong,
0:00:54 > 0:00:58the Usual Suspects can capitalise on their mistakes.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02You know how the game works. Let's meet the Usual Suspects.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07Hello, I'm Neil from Dorset. I am a teacher and this is my first game.
0:01:07 > 0:01:13Hello, I'm Katie. I'm from Northumberland, I'm a teacher and this is my second game.
0:01:13 > 0:01:20Hello, I'm Val. I live in Bedford, I'm a retired quantity surveyor and this is my third game.
0:01:20 > 0:01:25Hello, I'm Amy from Exeter. I'm a grants assistant and this is my fourth game.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30Welcome to you all and best of luck as we find out who has been randomly picked to play Perfection.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Amy, it's you. Please come down and join me.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38APPLAUSE
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Amy, welcome to the game. Let's find out a bit more about you.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44You call yourself a "neat freak".
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Yeah. Do your tins all have to be the right way round in the cupboard? Yeah.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52But I have three kids, so that kind of tempers that.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56My home life is nuts, so there's only so much order I can create.
0:01:56 > 0:02:03Presumably, a lot of it is just trying to bring order after the mayhem has happened? Pretty much.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06Amy, it's you versus the Usual Suspects. They're now your enemies.
0:02:06 > 0:02:12They want to stop you winning the prize fund because your failure means the prize money rolls over
0:02:12 > 0:02:16to the next game where one of them could play for a bigger total.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Every game is worth £1,000. Nobody has won the last two games,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23so the prize fund currently stands at £3,000.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26APPLAUSE
0:02:26 > 0:02:31That'll be handy. Yes. Do you have anything in particular you want to spend the money on?
0:02:31 > 0:02:36We haven't had a holiday for three years, so we could do with a family holiday.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39My sister is in Israel, so I'd like to go to visit her there.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42That would be nice. Best of luck.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44You'll play three rounds, then a final.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48Every round that you achieve perfection makes the final easier,
0:02:48 > 0:02:53but if your performance is less than perfect, the Usual Suspects can steal the round,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55making the final harder for you.
0:02:55 > 0:03:01Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off for now, so you can't see or hear anything. Away they go.
0:03:01 > 0:03:07Amy, each round consists of four "true or false" statements. You'll only have 45 seconds.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Once you've given your first answer, they'll be locked in.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13You understand? Yeah. OK, let's play Perfection.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16APPLAUSE
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Round One. Your 45 seconds start now.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27That doesn't sound right. False. False.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Football. Um...
0:03:35 > 0:03:39OK, I'm going to say "true". Total guess. True.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I think that's true.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47True. And finally...
0:03:53 > 0:03:55False. False.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58You've answered all four statements. How did that feel?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01I'm not 100% certain on any of them,
0:04:01 > 0:04:03but I'm fairly certain that...
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Yeah, I think I'm OK.
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Not certain of everything, but good feelings about it? Yeah. Excellent.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Let's bring back the Usual Suspects.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16These were the four statements and next to them are Amy's answers.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Val, has she made any mistakes?
0:04:18 > 0:04:23I don't know if she has, but I would have answered them exactly the same.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Katie, can you see anything wrong? I'm not sure about A and C.
0:04:27 > 0:04:32Joanna Lumley was definitely born abroad somewhere, but I'm not sure if it was in Nepal.
0:04:32 > 0:04:37I have an inkling that something happened with Land's End, but I don't know if it was in 1987.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41Neil, is that perfection? She's done well, but I'm nervous about A.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43I think A was bought by a businessman.
0:04:43 > 0:04:49Amy, you need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round. How many are correct?
0:04:53 > 0:04:58Two out of four in a 50/50 game is an average score, certainly not perfection.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01As a result, you've let the Usual Suspects into the round.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06Can you steal this round? You need to change two of Amy's answers, but which two?
0:05:06 > 0:05:09You want to change A? I'm pretty confident about A.
0:05:09 > 0:05:14I think C. I think she was born in Malaysia. I thought it was Nepal.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I'm nervous about D. Are you sure about D?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19I was a bit uncertain about D.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Shall I do A and D? Or are you really sure about C?
0:05:23 > 0:05:28I'm not very sure. I think the Nepal connection is more to do with her father being in the Gurkhas.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33But if you want to go with D, that's fine by me. What do you think? A and D.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37We'd like to change A from "false" to "true". A from "false" to "true".
0:05:37 > 0:05:43And D from "false" to "true". And D from "false" to "true", leaving B and C as answered by Amy.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Let's find out what the correct answers are.
0:05:46 > 0:05:50"In 1987, Land's End was bought by a businessman." True or false?
0:05:50 > 0:05:54That is true. Peter de Savary, in actual fact, bought Land's End.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58"Arsenal FC was originally based in Woolwich." True or false?
0:05:58 > 0:06:01That's true. They were known as Woolwich Arsenal.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05"Joanna Lumley was born in Nepal." Is that true or false?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08It's false, Usual Suspects.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13You had the chance to steal the round from Amy, but you failed to achieve perfection.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Katie, you were absolutely right. She was born in Srinagar in India.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20She did campaign on behalf of the Gurkhas,
0:06:20 > 0:06:25so there is a connection with Nepal. Can you achieve perfection at home?
0:06:25 > 0:06:29"Theologian Martin Luther was burnt at the stake." True or false?
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Yeah, that one's false, I'm afraid.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35He actually died of a stroke at the age of 62.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38So, Amy, appearing before you is your final board.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41These six spaces need to be filled with subject categories.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Here are the final round categories,
0:06:43 > 0:06:48starting with Peacocks, through Awards, Ball Games and on to Actors.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53Had you achieved perfection, you could have added two categories,
0:06:53 > 0:06:56but because neither side was prepared to win the round,
0:06:56 > 0:07:02the two categories due to be chosen are carried over to the next round, meaning four will be on offer then.
0:07:02 > 0:07:07Usual Suspects, is there pressure... Can I ask the teachers up there?
0:07:07 > 0:07:13Is there a bit of pressure coming to do a quiz show when you're a teacher? Always. Always pressure.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18It's assumed you know everything about everything. And everything about nothing. Yes.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20A jack of all trades, as they say.
0:07:20 > 0:07:26Your school report reads, "Could do better." Time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round Two.
0:07:26 > 0:07:30What do you think of the categories? We can talk about them openly now.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33OK. What two are you quite keen to avoid?
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Rivers. OK.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36Rivers. OK.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38I don't know a lot about Russell Brand.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42A couple that you will be choosing? Numbers looks interesting. Animals.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47I want to know what Peacocks is, but I'm not sure I know anything about them.
0:07:47 > 0:07:53You may well find out! To win the prize fund, you need to answer all six statements correctly,
0:07:53 > 0:07:56so winning the next round could prove crucial.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Are you ready to continue? Yeah. Let's play Round Two.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01APPLAUSE
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Your 45 seconds start now.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12False. That's Charlie Sheen. False.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23True. True.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31True. True. And finally...
0:08:36 > 0:08:40False. False. And with time to spare, you've answered all four...
0:08:40 > 0:08:44You have a very calm, quiet way of dealing with the questions.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49OK. Any more relaxed and it looks like you'd fall off the chair! No, I'm just concentrating.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52You're concentrating. Was that a good or bad round?
0:08:52 > 0:08:56I feel about the same as I did about the last one, really.
0:08:56 > 0:09:02Let's bring back the Usual Suspects. These were the four statements and next to them are Amy's answers.
0:09:02 > 0:09:08Neil, has she achieved perfection this time? I'm not 100% sure, but I think she has got perfection.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Katie, can you see anything wrong with those answers? Yes, B is wrong.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15Hobart is the capital of Tasmania.
0:09:15 > 0:09:20Val, what do you think? I totally agree with Katie. OK.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Amy, let's find out how many are correct.
0:09:27 > 0:09:33Two out of four. Not really close to perfection and you've let the Usual Suspects into the game.
0:09:33 > 0:09:38Can you steal the round? You need to change two of Amy's answers. Which two?
0:09:38 > 0:09:43William II died in the New Forest, but I don't know what year. That could be the clincher.
0:09:43 > 0:09:49Is there any chance that Johnny Depp appeared in Platoon? It's very likely. It's probably Johnny Depp.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52A and B? I think that's right.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Nick, we'd like to change A from "false" to "true". A from "false" to "true".
0:09:56 > 0:10:02And change B from "true" to "false". B from "true" to "false", leaving C and D as answered by Amy.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Let's find out the correct answers.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08"Johnny Depp appeared in the film Platoon." True or false?
0:10:08 > 0:10:14Yes, it is true. Very well done. "Hobart is the capital of New South Wales." True or false?
0:10:14 > 0:10:19Yeah, that's false. As you said, Katie, it is the capital of Tasmania.
0:10:19 > 0:10:25So you know where this is going already. "William II died in the New Forest in 1100." True or false?
0:10:25 > 0:10:29Yeah, that's true. Not sure whether it was an assassination or accident.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33They claimed it was an accident, but many think it was an assassination.
0:10:33 > 0:10:38"FINA is the world governing body of football." True or false...? It's false.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.
0:10:44 > 0:10:51FINA is the governing body for some water sports. FIFA is the world governing body of football.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54Let's see the final board. No categories chosen so far,
0:10:54 > 0:10:59but you won the round, Usual Suspects, so you choose four categories to add to the board -
0:10:59 > 0:11:04two from this round and two from Round One, so which four would you like Amy to play in the final?
0:11:04 > 0:11:09Let's choose one each and then agree on the fourth. OK, Peacocks sounds tempting.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13We'd like to have Peacocks. Peacocks goes into the final. Neil?
0:11:13 > 0:11:17I'll choose Counties because she got the geography question wrong.
0:11:17 > 0:11:19Counties. Counties goes in.
0:11:19 > 0:11:23On that basis, we'll put in Rivers as well. Rivers goes into the final.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26And we need one more. What about Numbers?
0:11:26 > 0:11:31She deals with grants, so maybe she deals with numbers all the time.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Awards? Awards could be anything.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37OK, we'll do Awards. Awards goes into the final.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You've made things very difficult.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45It's time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round Three. Away they go.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49You wanted Peacocks, but only out of a matter of interest.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52I did warn you you'd find out what it was about.
0:11:52 > 0:11:57You didn't want Rivers. No, geography is not my strong point, I have to say.
0:11:57 > 0:12:03They were about to give you Numbers, then they picked up on the fact that you work with grants, don't you?
0:12:03 > 0:12:07Yeah, I'm crunching numbers all day at work. They picked up on that.
0:12:07 > 0:12:13You have one more chance to find perfection before the final. Ready to play the next round? Yes.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15Then let's play Round Three. APPLAUSE
0:12:18 > 0:12:20Your 45 seconds start now.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29That sounds quite possible. True. True.
0:12:34 > 0:12:36False. False.
0:12:44 > 0:12:48It sounds true. Perhaps. True. And finally...
0:12:52 > 0:12:54False. False.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57With plenty of time to spare, you've answered all four.
0:12:57 > 0:13:03You didn't hang around on those very long. Again they're not questions that I'm confident on.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05There didn't seem much point in hanging around.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Time to bring back the Usual Suspects.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12These were the four statements and next to them are Amy's answers.
0:13:12 > 0:13:18Katie, how has she done this time? I'm unsure about D, in particular, and also C.
0:13:18 > 0:13:23I think it was somebody else for the Defense Secretary for George W Bush. Neil?
0:13:23 > 0:13:28I pretty much agree with Katie. I think she's done well, but I think C is incorrect.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31And I'm dubious about D.
0:13:31 > 0:13:37Amy, you need to have answered all four perfectly to have won the round. How many are correct?
0:13:41 > 0:13:43Two out of four again.
0:13:43 > 0:13:48Consistent. Yes, but consistently not perfection. You've let the Usual Suspects back into the game.
0:13:48 > 0:13:53Can you steal the round? You need to change two answers, but which two?
0:13:53 > 0:13:57Do you want C and D? I think C and D. Are we happy with A and B?
0:13:57 > 0:14:01There's nothing tricky in those questions. No. C and D? C and D.
0:14:01 > 0:14:05We'd like to change C from "true" to "false". C from "true" to "false".
0:14:05 > 0:14:09And D from "false" to "true". Leaving A and B as answered by Amy.
0:14:09 > 0:14:13OK, Usual Suspects, let's find out what the correct answers are.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16"Grappa is an Italian alcoholic drink." True or false?
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Yes, it's true. A spirit made from grapes.
0:14:20 > 0:14:24"The book Dracula is partly set in Blackpool." Is that true or false?
0:14:24 > 0:14:29Yes, that's false. A famous sequence takes place in the seaside town of Whitby.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34"Bill Hicks was George W Bush's Defense Secretary." True or false?
0:14:34 > 0:14:37Yeah, that's false. He was a comedian.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41"The Orange River is the longest in South Africa." True or false?
0:14:41 > 0:14:46It's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49APPLAUSE
0:14:49 > 0:14:55The Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed and have stolen the round. Let's see the final board.
0:14:55 > 0:14:59Four categories chosen by yourselves and you won that round too,
0:14:59 > 0:15:04so you choose the last two, completing Amy's pain. Which two would you like her to play?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07You two did all the work, so pick one each. Oh, goodness!
0:15:07 > 0:15:11Ball Games? We'd like Ball Games. Ball Games goes into the final.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16And I'd like to see Numbers. And Numbers, please, Nick. And Numbers goes into the final.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19We now know our six final categories.
0:15:23 > 0:15:28OK, guys, very well played. Time to switch you off for the final time.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33That's really interesting. He said, "Let's not pick Numbers because Amy knows numbers,"
0:15:33 > 0:15:38then chose Numbers for you! They played into your hands there. Yeah.
0:15:38 > 0:15:44And Ball Games, I'm guessing with three children, you've taken part in the occasional ball game. Yeah.
0:15:44 > 0:15:49So you're in with a chance here. Yeah. Amy, for £3,000, it's time to play the final.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51APPLAUSE
0:15:51 > 0:15:57This is the all-important final. If you can achieve perfection, you could be leaving with £3,000.
0:15:57 > 0:16:02If you fail, you'll leave with nothing which would be great news for the Usual Suspects
0:16:02 > 0:16:08as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £4,000 on the next game. Let's play the final round.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11Amy, here are your final six categories.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £3,000.
0:16:15 > 0:16:21Think carefully. There's no time limit, but once you've given your answer, it's locked in. Ready? Yeah.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26Let's reveal your first statement. Tell me if you believe it to be true or false.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28Peacocks...
0:16:32 > 0:16:34That's true. True.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Counties...
0:16:41 > 0:16:43That's true. True.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Rivers...
0:16:51 > 0:16:53Yeah, I think that's true as well.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54True.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57Awards...
0:17:00 > 0:17:04No, I think there's lots of prizes for music,
0:17:04 > 0:17:08but I don't think I've ever heard anybody mention the Pulitzer Prize
0:17:08 > 0:17:13in association with a musician or any sort of musical artist,
0:17:13 > 0:17:16so I'm going to say "false". False.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19Ball Games...
0:17:23 > 0:17:26I expect it probably is a fairly old game.
0:17:26 > 0:17:32Whether or not it originated in Rugby and got its name that way, I'm not sure about...
0:17:33 > 0:17:38I think I'll say "true". True. And finally, Numbers...
0:17:44 > 0:17:49I believe that 40 would be IVX,
0:17:49 > 0:17:52so I'm going to say "false". False.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55And with that, Amy, those answers are locked in.
0:17:55 > 0:18:01If there's one mistake, you leave with nothing, so which ones are you worried about? The rugby one, E.
0:18:01 > 0:18:06Um...D and C. I think the other three, I'm fairly confident on.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09So C, D and E are worrying you? Yeah.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12Let's see what the Usual Suspects have to say.
0:18:12 > 0:18:18Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements and next to them are Amy's answers.
0:18:18 > 0:18:22Amy, your answers are now locked in, but if you think you made a mistake,
0:18:22 > 0:18:27you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects. This will come at a cost.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31Amy, who would you like to hear from first? Katie.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35I was just wondering how confident you are with your answers?
0:18:35 > 0:18:37I would say I'm 80% happy.
0:18:37 > 0:18:44I think I'd just like to have the confidence of having somebody else to knock about ideas with.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48Yeah, I think I'm 80% happy as well, so I'm a little bit concerned
0:18:48 > 0:18:52that the 20% we're not happy with, it's going to be the same ones.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56OK. I'll have a think. All right. Neil?
0:18:56 > 0:19:02I know you have one wrong. I think you may have another wrong. I'd quite like to hear what Val's got to say.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05Sorry. No-one's committing at the moment.
0:19:05 > 0:19:12No. Hi, Val. Hi, Amy. I know you've definitely got one wrong. All right. I'd like more time to think as well.
0:19:12 > 0:19:18Can I come back to you, Katie? There's one in particular that I'm really not sure about.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21I think I'm going to rule myself out. I'm sorry. OK.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24Val, what if I was to split 50/50?
0:19:24 > 0:19:29There's £3,000 in the pot, so you're being offered £1,500 to join in, Val.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34No, I think I won't do it this time. OK. Val's withdrawn. That just leaves you with Neil.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- Come on, Neil. - I'm finding it really difficult.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41No, I'm sorry, I'm going to rule myself out definitely.
0:19:41 > 0:19:45I've never seen three Usual Suspects say "maybe", then all of them...
0:19:45 > 0:19:49I think they've talked each other out of it. Oh, dear.
0:19:49 > 0:19:54None of our Usual Suspects are willing to help. £3,000 at stake, six answers away.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57Let's find out if you've achieved perfection.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Now that we know this is what we're doing, we might as well find out...
0:20:03 > 0:20:09Neil, you said one that you thought was wrong. I think F is wrong because L is 50 and C is 100.
0:20:09 > 0:20:15Katie, which one did you think was wrong? I'm not sure about D, in particular. OK.
0:20:15 > 0:20:20Val, which one did you think was wrong? I think there might be a Pulitzer Prize for music.
0:20:20 > 0:20:26Between them they think you've got a lot wrong, but the last time this happened,
0:20:26 > 0:20:29the Usual Suspects came up with two or three that were wrong
0:20:29 > 0:20:34and somebody walked away with the cash, so let's see what happens.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39"Female peacocks are called peahens." You said this was true. We'd like this to turn green.
0:20:39 > 0:20:44True or false? It's true. APPLAUSE
0:20:44 > 0:20:49"There is a county in Ireland called County Mayo." You said it was true. Is it true or false?
0:20:49 > 0:20:52It is true. APPLAUSE
0:20:53 > 0:20:58"The Rhine is longer than the Thames." You thought this was true.
0:20:58 > 0:21:05If it is, you are halfway to the money on your own. Is that true or false?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08It is true. Very well played. APPLAUSE
0:21:08 > 0:21:13Considering that you didn't want Rivers, you can be very proud of that answer.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17Let's move on. "There is a Pulitzer Prize for music." You said "false".
0:21:17 > 0:21:22The Usual Suspects doubted that this was right. If it turns red, you are two away from the money.
0:21:22 > 0:21:24Is it true or false?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28It's true, I'm afraid.
0:21:28 > 0:21:34You haven't achieved perfection, so you won't be taking home the cash. Can you achieve perfection at home?
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Let's find out how well you've done overall, Amy.
0:21:37 > 0:21:41Rugby originated at Rugby School in the 1600s.
0:21:41 > 0:21:46You were more worried about rugby from Rugby rather than the date.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48You said true. True or false?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51False, I'm afraid.
0:21:51 > 0:21:57It was Rugby School, but it was believed to be originated there in 1823,
0:21:57 > 0:22:02not the 1600s. And XL is 40 in Roman numerals. True or false?
0:22:02 > 0:22:05I'm afraid it's true. L is 50.
0:22:05 > 0:22:12Putting the X before it, that makes the number 40. As soon as I said it, I knew. Honestly?
0:22:12 > 0:22:16Yes. So that's great news for the Usual Suspects.
0:22:16 > 0:22:22The prize fund rolls over to the next game where one of you could be playing for £4,000.
0:22:24 > 0:22:30Amy, that was fairly tough. You go home with nothing except our thanks. I hope you enjoyed it.
0:22:30 > 0:22:35I had a lovely time. Excellent. Let's hear it for Amy, everybody.
0:22:37 > 0:22:41It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect hoping to play today.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Please introduce yourself.
0:22:45 > 0:22:50Hi, I'm Maureen from Cumbernauld. I'm a self-employed administrator and bookkeeper.
0:22:50 > 0:22:56Welcome, Maureen. We now find out who has been randomly picked to play Perfection.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01Maureen, it's you! Come and join me.
0:23:04 > 0:23:11Welcome to the game. I was looking through your notes. You do an amazing thing as a volunteer.
0:23:11 > 0:23:17Yes, I work with the Humanist Society of Scotland and we go weekly
0:23:17 > 0:23:22and feed the homeless, which is really rewarding. They're lovely.
0:23:22 > 0:23:28Fantastic. As tropical as the weather is in Scotland, it can be handy having a warm meal. It can.
0:23:28 > 0:23:35These guys really appreciate it. And you like to go travelling in a camper van, don't you?
0:23:35 > 0:23:42I had my first experience of that in April and we went to a place on the west coast called Arisaig.
0:23:42 > 0:23:49How warm and tropical was it? It was minus 10 at night. Absolutely tropical! It was wonderful.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54Whose idea of a holiday is that?! My husband's. Is it? Yes.
0:23:54 > 0:24:00Was it fun? Absolutely wonderful. You got up in the morning and once you knocked the icicles off,
0:24:00 > 0:24:06it was absolutely great. Maureen, it's you versus the Usual Suspects.
0:24:06 > 0:24:13They're now your enemies. Nobody's won the last three games, so the prize fund stands at £4,000!
0:24:14 > 0:24:20What would you spend the money on? My husband and I went to Australia, to the Barrier Reef,
0:24:20 > 0:24:24on our honeymoon. We'd love to take the kids back.
0:24:24 > 0:24:30Best of luck. Three rounds and a final. Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off now,
0:24:30 > 0:24:34but when Maureen makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game.
0:24:34 > 0:24:40Are you ready? As ready as I'll ever be.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Even if you're not, we're getting started. Let's play Perfection.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Round One. Your 45 seconds start now.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56False. I don't think that's right. False. Yep.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09Never heard of it, but I'm going to say false on that one as well. False.
0:25:13 > 0:25:18I'm sure that's correct, yes. So you're saying... True. Thank you.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28Certainly Italy... Over that way. True.
0:25:28 > 0:25:33True. And you've answered all four. How did that feel? Not bad at all.
0:25:33 > 0:25:38Elba, I know that's where Napoleon's resting place was. So over that way.
0:25:38 > 0:25:42All right, it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.
0:25:42 > 0:25:49Hello. These are the four statements and Maureen's answers. Val, has she achieved perfection?
0:25:49 > 0:25:55I thought a hypocaust might be something to do with Roman baths, so I might change that to true.
0:25:55 > 0:25:59Katie, what do you think? I think she's got two wrong.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03A hypocaust is underfloor heating. I've seen it in Northumberland.
0:26:03 > 0:26:09And Elba is off the coast of Tuscany, I think. Neil? If not perfection,
0:26:09 > 0:26:13she's got B wrong. That is the hot question. Very good.
0:26:13 > 0:26:20OK, it's the moment of truth. You need all four to have won the round. Let's see how many are correct.
0:26:23 > 0:26:28Two out of four is an average score in a 50/50 game.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32You've now let your enemies in. Can you steal the round?
0:26:32 > 0:26:37You need to change two. Which two? B and D? I think so. Definitely.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41We'd like to change B from false to true. B from false to true.
0:26:41 > 0:26:48And D from true to false. That didn't take long. A and C stay as Maureen answered.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53Let's find the correct answers. French presidents reside in the Bastille. True or false?
0:26:53 > 0:26:58It is false. The Elysee Palace is their official residence.
0:26:58 > 0:27:04A hypocaust was a form of Roman underfloor heating. True or false?
0:27:04 > 0:27:09Absolutely true. If you've seen one, Katie, there was no doubting it!
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Devil's Coach Horse is a type of beetle. Is that true or false?
0:27:13 > 0:27:19Yeah, that one's true. And Elba is an island in the Bay of Biscay. True or false?
0:27:19 > 0:27:24It's false. Congratulations. You have achieved perfection.
0:27:28 > 0:27:35It's in the Mediterranean. Maureen, they've succeeded and stolen the round from you.
0:27:35 > 0:27:41This is your final board. These six blank spaces need to be filled with subject categories.
0:27:41 > 0:27:48You have Russian, Pirates, 1980s Music, Biographies, Kung Fu, with many more in-between.
0:27:48 > 0:27:54Because the Usual Suspects stole the round, they choose two categories to make this harder.
0:27:54 > 0:27:59Which two would you like? How about Russian? Fine with me. Russian, please.
0:27:59 > 0:28:06Russian goes into the final. What about Pacific Islands? She didn't know about Elba. OK.
0:28:06 > 0:28:11Pacific Islands, please. Pacific Islands. Well done.
0:28:11 > 0:28:16It's time to switch you off, but we'll see you in Round Two.
0:28:16 > 0:28:23Now that they've gone, Russian? Depends on the question. They think you're weak on your geography.
0:28:23 > 0:28:30That's a bit harsh. A bit harsh. Let's look at those on the left. Pick two you're trying to avoid.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Probably Biographies.
0:28:33 > 0:28:37And Opera. And the first two you would choose?
0:28:37 > 0:28:41Wildlife and...1980s Music. All right, Maureen.
0:28:41 > 0:28:47You still have two more rounds to find perfection. Are you ready? Of course.
0:28:47 > 0:28:50Let's play Round Two.
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Your 45 seconds start now.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03True. True.
0:29:03 > 0:29:04Yep.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15I think... it was possibly later than that.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19So I'm going to say false. False.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27I think that's true. True. And finally...
0:29:32 > 0:29:37False. False. And with that you've answered all four. How was that?
0:29:37 > 0:29:41Tricky. Tricky? Tricky, yeah.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Let's bring back the Usual Suspects.
0:29:44 > 0:29:51These were the four statements and Maureen's answers. Katie, has she achieved perfection?
0:29:51 > 0:29:58I'm not sure. I'm suspect about C because of the wording of it. I'm not sure about a novel.
0:29:58 > 0:30:03It might be an extended poem. Neil? I'm not sure about C as well.
0:30:03 > 0:30:08And I'm nervous about D. Val, what do you think? Katie stole my words.
0:30:08 > 0:30:14I think Shropshire Lad was a poem. It was by AE Housman, but I think it's a poem.
0:30:14 > 0:30:18Maureen, let's find out how many are correct.
0:30:21 > 0:30:24Two out of four. Two again!
0:30:24 > 0:30:29I'm afraid you've let them in and they might steal this round.
0:30:29 > 0:30:35You have to change two. Which two? We definitely want to change C.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38All right. Change C from true to false. And one more.
0:30:38 > 0:30:43I think the Olympics was in Tokyo. It's either A or D.
0:30:43 > 0:30:48What do we want? I'm not sure about A. It might be a trick question.
0:30:48 > 0:30:54Leeches... They suck blood. And I think they inject something to make your blood flow.
0:30:54 > 0:31:02Whether they're used in drugs, I don't know. You think A? I'll go with Katie. I don't know!
0:31:02 > 0:31:04We'll change A from true to false.
0:31:04 > 0:31:08A changes, leaving B and D as answered by Maureen.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Let's find out the correct answers.
0:31:11 > 0:31:15Leeches have been used to produce anticoagulant drugs. True or false?
0:31:15 > 0:31:21It's true, Usual Suspects. You had the chance, but failed to achieve perfection.
0:31:21 > 0:31:25Let's see the rest of the answers. Maybe you can do it.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29The 1964 Summer Olympics took place in Tokyo. True or false?
0:31:29 > 0:31:32That's the one. That's true.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36A Shropshire Lad is a novel by AE Housman. True or false?
0:31:36 > 0:31:41Yeah, that's false. It is a collection of poems as you said.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Finland still has the death penalty.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Yeah, that's false.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48It was abolished in the early 1970s.
0:31:48 > 0:31:51Let's see the final board.
0:31:51 > 0:31:58Maureen, the two categories that were due to be chosen will now be carried over to the next round.
0:31:58 > 0:32:04Usual Suspects, we'll see you in Round Three. Cheerio. And away they go.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09Maureen, with four categories on offer, this is a good one to win. Definitely.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Let's play Round Three.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15Your 45 seconds start now.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22That's false. False. Something to do with money.
0:32:26 > 0:32:31This is a trick one. I'm going to say...false.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33False.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45True. True. And finally...
0:32:48 > 0:32:52I think that's true. And you've answered all four.
0:32:52 > 0:32:59You seemed more confident. A bit. The questions suited me a bit more that time.
0:32:59 > 0:33:05We'll wait and see the answers! Why was Simple Minds a trick? Simple Minds was Jim Kerr.
0:33:05 > 0:33:11And where were they from? They were from...Scotland, weren't they?
0:33:11 > 0:33:15I can't say at this stage. Oh, I don't know!
0:33:15 > 0:33:19Before we reveal how you've done, we bring back the Usual Suspects.
0:33:19 > 0:33:26These are the four statements and Maureen's answers. Neil, has she achieved perfection this time?
0:33:26 > 0:33:32I don't think so. I ought to know this, but I'm pretty sure C is not Henry V.
0:33:32 > 0:33:38I think it was Henry VII. They found Richard I's body there. Katie, what do you think?
0:33:38 > 0:33:46I'm a little unsure on C and D, I know he was Labour, but I'm not sure if he was Home Secretary.
0:33:46 > 0:33:53Val, help us out here. I'm not sure about C. I think the others are right. The moment of truth.
0:33:53 > 0:33:59Maureen, you need to have answered them all correctly to win. Let's see how many are correct. OK.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07Three out of four is pretty good. Better. Better.
0:34:07 > 0:34:13Close, but no cigar. Unfortunately, you've let them in again. They can steal the round.
0:34:13 > 0:34:18You need to change one answer, but which one? We agreed on C. I think C.
0:34:18 > 0:34:25Enough of us are unsure, I think. We'd like to change C from true to false. C changes from true to false,
0:34:25 > 0:34:31leaving A, B and D as answered by Maureen. Let's find out what the correct answers are.
0:34:31 > 0:34:34The US Federal Reserve is a prison. True or false?
0:34:34 > 0:34:38Yeah, it's false. It's the central bank.
0:34:38 > 0:34:42Simple Minds is the name of an Australian band. True or false?
0:34:42 > 0:34:48Yeah, it is false. As you said, Maureen... Scottish. A Scottish band.
0:34:48 > 0:34:52Henry V defeated Richard III at Bosworth Field. True or false?
0:34:52 > 0:35:00Yeah, false. As you pointed out, it was Henry VII who defeated Richard III at Bosworth Field.
0:35:00 > 0:35:05Finally, Roy Jenkins was a Labour Home Secretary. True or false?
0:35:05 > 0:35:06True.
0:35:06 > 0:35:10Congratulations. You have achieved perfection.
0:35:13 > 0:35:19Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Maureen's chances as hard as they can be.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Let's look at the final board.
0:35:22 > 0:35:29Two categories on there. You've earned the right to add the last two and two from the middle round.
0:35:29 > 0:35:36So which four categories would you like to choose for the final? One each again.
0:35:36 > 0:35:42She's had a few history questions wrong, so I'd like to see Pirates. Pirates goes across.
0:35:42 > 0:35:47I think I would like to choose Wildlife. Wildlife goes in.
0:35:47 > 0:35:52I don't think she'll know much about Kung Fu, so Kung Fu.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56Kung Fu goes into the final. I need one more. Latin America?
0:35:56 > 0:36:03Geography. All right, Latin America. Latin America goes into the final. We now know our six categories.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05They are...
0:36:11 > 0:36:15OK, guys, very well played. Time to switch you off. Away they go.
0:36:15 > 0:36:21You wanted Wildlife. That was nice of them. Yeah. My children do martial arts.
0:36:21 > 0:36:27That's handy. I've watched Pirates of the Caribbean! That's all you need to know.
0:36:27 > 0:36:31Latin America... We'll see. Yes, we'll see!
0:36:31 > 0:36:35Maureen, for £4,000 it's time to play the final.
0:36:35 > 0:36:41Maureen, if you can achieve perfection, you could leave with £4,000.
0:36:41 > 0:36:47If you fail, you leave with nothing and one of them could play for a rollover of £5,000 in the next game.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50Let's play the final round.
0:36:53 > 0:36:59Here are your final six categories. You must answer all six correctly if you want to win the £4,000.
0:36:59 > 0:37:04Think carefully. There's no time limit, but your first answer is locked in.
0:37:04 > 0:37:11Ready? Ready. Let's reveal your first statement. Is it true or false?
0:37:11 > 0:37:12Russian.
0:37:17 > 0:37:23I think that's correct. I think that's true. True. Yep. Pacific Islands.
0:37:29 > 0:37:33I think that is...false.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35False. Yep. Pirates.
0:37:41 > 0:37:48He sounds very Welsh. Yes, we'll go with true. True. Wildlife.
0:37:53 > 0:37:59I think that's true. I think the hen has a white bill
0:37:59 > 0:38:04and the male has an orange bill. So you're saying true. True.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06Kung Fu.
0:38:09 > 0:38:12That's true. True.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15And, finally, Latin America.
0:38:20 > 0:38:24I think that's false. False. False.
0:38:25 > 0:38:30And with that those six statements are locked in. That's us, yeah. You all right?
0:38:30 > 0:38:36My fate is in my own hands. Which ones are you unsure of?
0:38:36 > 0:38:42The Marshall Islands I'm not sure on. Probably not sure on C either.
0:38:42 > 0:38:47B and C. B and C, yeah. All right, let's bring back the Usual Suspects.
0:38:47 > 0:38:54You can now see the final six statements and Maureen's answers. Your answers are now locked in,
0:38:54 > 0:39:01but you can unlock them with the help of the Usual Suspects. However, this will come at a cost.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Who would you like first? I think Neil.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06How confident are you, Maureen?
0:39:06 > 0:39:09I'm confident on...
0:39:09 > 0:39:10four.
0:39:10 > 0:39:18I'm very nervous because there's two I really think... I'm going to rule myself out.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21OK, who next? Katie, please.
0:39:21 > 0:39:29The wording of a few of them is bothering me, but what would you be prepared to offer me?
0:39:29 > 0:39:34There's £4,000 prize fund available. I'd go half and half.
0:39:34 > 0:39:39Half and half, hmm. Can you come back to me? Of course. Thank you.
0:39:39 > 0:39:46OK, Val? There's one I definitely think you've got wrong, but I'm not sure enough to help.
0:39:46 > 0:39:50Eve for all the money, I wouldn't come down. Oh! Sorry.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54I'd love to help you, but I can't. At least it's very clear.
0:39:54 > 0:39:58OK, Katie? Back to Katie. I'm really not sure.
0:39:58 > 0:40:05There are two I'm very unhappy about. Do you think we could work it out if you came down?
0:40:05 > 0:40:12Oh, goodness. I think I have to rule myself out. I'm really sorry. OK, no problem.
0:40:12 > 0:40:17Which means you're on your own. Negotiations have come to a conclusion.
0:40:17 > 0:40:22So you are on your own. £4,000 at stake, six answers away. OK.
0:40:22 > 0:40:27Let's find out if you have achieved perfection.
0:40:27 > 0:40:33Well, we have to find out now. Katie, you thought there were two you were worried about.
0:40:33 > 0:40:39I'm worried about B and I should know A, but I'm thinking is it "glasnost"?
0:40:39 > 0:40:45I don't know. All right. We might as well get started. Top or bottom? Start at the top.
0:40:45 > 0:40:51Start at the top. All right. Perestroika is Russian for openness. You said this was true. Yeah.
0:40:51 > 0:40:55This would also answer one of Katie's questions.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Perestroika is Russian for openness. Is that true or false?
0:41:02 > 0:41:04It's false, I'm afraid. OK.
0:41:04 > 0:41:09Never mind. It's Russian for reconstruction.
0:41:09 > 0:41:14The word for openness is... Glasnost. Glasnost, Katie.
0:41:14 > 0:41:19Can you still achieve perfection at home? Let's go through the rest to find out how you've done.
0:41:19 > 0:41:25The Marshall Islands were a UK protectorate. True or false? You said false. True or false?
0:41:25 > 0:41:31It is false. German protectorate until Japan seized them in 1914.
0:41:31 > 0:41:37The buccaneer Captain Henry Morgan was Welsh. You said he sounded Welsh. True or false?
0:41:37 > 0:41:44It's true. The adult common moorhen has a white bill. You thought this was true.
0:41:44 > 0:41:49You think it might be the moor...man. Yes, whatever.
0:41:49 > 0:41:52The male of the species.
0:41:52 > 0:41:55You said true. True or false.
0:41:55 > 0:42:01Oh, the other way round. I'm afraid it's false. Its bill is red. OK.
0:42:01 > 0:42:05Enter The Dragon was a film starring Bruce Lee. You said this was true.
0:42:05 > 0:42:12True. And, finally, Manuel Noriega was president of Nicaragua. True or false?
0:42:12 > 0:42:14It is false, as you said.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17Dictator of Panama. Yeah.
0:42:17 > 0:42:23So four out of six where you didn't choose any of your own categories. It wasn't bad.
0:42:23 > 0:42:30Something to be proud of. The two you got wrong weren't the ones you'd have helped with, Katie.
0:42:30 > 0:42:36Em...no. So probably just as well you didn't decide to join in. I think so.
0:42:36 > 0:42:43The prize fund rolls over to the next game where one of you could be playing for a total of £5,000.
0:42:45 > 0:42:52Katie thinks she's dodged a bullet. Maureen, you failed to achieve perfection so you go with nothing
0:42:52 > 0:42:59other than our thanks. Hope you enjoyed it. It's been a wonderful day. Let's hear it for Maureen!
0:43:02 > 0:43:08That's all we have time for. Please join us next time when we play again for £5,000,
0:43:08 > 0:43:12but remember on this show we will only pay for perfection. Goodbye.
