Episode 18 Perfection

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

because one 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, the Usual Suspects, in our isolation room.

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

They 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 contestants get a single answer wrong,

the Usual Suspects can capitalise on their mistakes.

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

Hello, I'm Neil from Dorset. I am a teacher and this is my first game.

Hello, I'm Katie. I'm from Northumberland, I'm a teacher and this is my second game.

Hello, I'm Val. I live in Bedford, I'm a retired quantity surveyor and this is my third game.

Hello, I'm Amy from Exeter. I'm a grants assistant and this is my fourth game.

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

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

APPLAUSE

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

You call yourself a "neat freak".

Yeah. Do your tins all have to be the right way round in the cupboard? Yeah.

But I have three kids, so that kind of tempers that.

My home life is nuts, so there's only so much order I can create.

Presumably, a lot of it is just trying to bring order after the mayhem has happened? Pretty much.

Amy, it's you versus the Usual Suspects. They're now your enemies.

They want to stop you winning the prize fund because your failure means the prize money rolls over

to the next game where one of them could play for a bigger total.

Every game is worth £1,000. Nobody has won the last two games,

so the prize fund currently stands at £3,000.

APPLAUSE

That'll be handy. Yes. Do you have anything in particular you want to spend the money on?

We haven't had a holiday for three years, so we could do with a family holiday.

My sister is in Israel, so I'd like to go to visit her there.

That would be nice. Best of luck.

You'll play three rounds, 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'll switch you off for now, so you can't see or hear anything. Away they go.

Amy, each round consists of four "true or false" statements. You'll only have 45 seconds.

Once you've given your first answer, they'll be locked in.

You understand? Yeah. OK, let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round One. Your 45 seconds start now.

That doesn't sound right. False. False.

Football. Um...

OK, I'm going to say "true". Total guess. True.

I think that's true.

True. And finally...

False. False.

You've answered all four statements. How did that feel?

I'm not 100% certain on any of them,

but I'm fairly certain that...

Yeah, I think I'm OK.

Not certain of everything, but good feelings about it? Yeah. Excellent.

Let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Val, has she made any mistakes?

I don't know if she has, but I would have answered them exactly the same.

Katie, can you see anything wrong? I'm not sure about A and C.

Joanna Lumley was definitely born abroad somewhere, but I'm not sure if it was in Nepal.

I have an inkling that something happened with Land's End, but I don't know if it was in 1987.

Neil, is that perfection? She's done well, but I'm nervous about A.

I think A was bought by a businessman.

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

Two out of four in a 50/50 game is an average score, certainly not perfection.

As a result, you've let the Usual Suspects into the round.

Can you steal this round? You need to change two of Amy's answers, but which two?

You want to change A? I'm pretty confident about A.

I think C. I think she was born in Malaysia. I thought it was Nepal.

I'm nervous about D. Are you sure about D?

I was a bit uncertain about D.

Shall I do A and D? Or are you really sure about C?

I'm not very sure. I think the Nepal connection is more to do with her father being in the Gurkhas.

But if you want to go with D, that's fine by me. What do you think? A and D.

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

And D from "false" to "true". And D from "false" to "true", leaving B and C as answered by Amy.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

"In 1987, Land's End was bought by a businessman." True or false?

That is true. Peter de Savary, in actual fact, bought Land's End.

"Arsenal FC was originally based in Woolwich." True or false?

That's true. They were known as Woolwich Arsenal.

"Joanna Lumley was born in Nepal." Is that true or false?

It's false, Usual Suspects.

You had the chance to steal the round from Amy, but you failed to achieve perfection.

Katie, you were absolutely right. She was born in Srinagar in India.

She did campaign on behalf of the Gurkhas,

so there is a connection with Nepal. Can you achieve perfection at home?

"Theologian Martin Luther was burnt at the stake." True or false?

Yeah, that one's false, I'm afraid.

He actually died of a stroke at the age of 62.

So, Amy, appearing before you is your final board.

These six spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are the final round categories,

starting with Peacocks, through Awards, Ball Games and on to Actors.

Had you achieved perfection, you could have added two categories,

but because neither side was prepared to win the round,

the two categories due to be chosen are carried over to the next round, meaning four will be on offer then.

Usual Suspects, is there pressure... Can I ask the teachers up there?

Is there a bit of pressure coming to do a quiz show when you're a teacher? Always. Always pressure.

It's assumed you know everything about everything. And everything about nothing. Yes.

A jack of all trades, as they say.

Your school report reads, "Could do better." Time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round Two.

What do you think of the categories? We can talk about them openly now.

OK. What two are you quite keen to avoid?

Rivers. OK.

Rivers. OK.

I don't know a lot about Russell Brand.

A couple that you will be choosing? Numbers looks interesting. Animals.

I want to know what Peacocks is, but I'm not sure I know anything about them.

You may well find out! To win the prize fund, you need to answer all six statements correctly,

so winning the next round could prove crucial.

Are you ready to continue? Yeah. Let's play Round Two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

False. That's Charlie Sheen. False.

True. True.

True. True. And finally...

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

You have a very calm, quiet way of dealing with the questions.

OK. Any more relaxed and it looks like you'd fall off the chair! No, I'm just concentrating.

You're concentrating. Was that a good or bad round?

I feel about the same as I did about the last one, really.

Let's bring back the Usual Suspects. These were the four statements and next to them are Amy's answers.

Neil, has she achieved perfection this time? I'm not 100% sure, but I think she has got perfection.

Katie, can you see anything wrong with those answers? Yes, B is wrong.

Hobart is the capital of Tasmania.

Val, what do you think? I totally agree with Katie. OK.

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

Two out of four. Not really close to perfection and you've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Can you steal the round? You need to change two of Amy's answers. Which two?

William II died in the New Forest, but I don't know what year. That could be the clincher.

Is there any chance that Johnny Depp appeared in Platoon? It's very likely. It's probably Johnny Depp.

A and B? I think that's right.

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

And change B from "true" to "false". B from "true" to "false", leaving C and D as answered by Amy.

Let's find out the correct answers.

"Johnny Depp appeared in the film Platoon." True or false?

Yes, it is true. Very well done. "Hobart is the capital of New South Wales." True or false?

Yeah, that's false. As you said, Katie, it is the capital of Tasmania.

So you know where this is going already. "William II died in the New Forest in 1100." True or false?

Yeah, that's true. Not sure whether it was an assassination or accident.

They claimed it was an accident, but many think it was an assassination.

"FINA is the world governing body of football." True or false...? It's false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

FINA is the governing body for some water sports. FIFA is the world governing body of football.

Let's see the final board. No categories chosen so far,

but you won the round, Usual Suspects, so you choose four categories to add to the board -

two from this round and two from Round One, so which four would you like Amy to play in the final?

Let's choose one each and then agree on the fourth. OK, Peacocks sounds tempting.

We'd like to have Peacocks. Peacocks goes into the final. Neil?

I'll choose Counties because she got the geography question wrong.

Counties. Counties goes in.

On that basis, we'll put in Rivers as well. Rivers goes into the final.

And we need one more. What about Numbers?

She deals with grants, so maybe she deals with numbers all the time.

Awards? Awards could be anything.

OK, we'll do Awards. Awards goes into the final.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You've made things very difficult.

It's time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round Three. Away they go.

You wanted Peacocks, but only out of a matter of interest.

I did warn you you'd find out what it was about.

You didn't want Rivers. No, geography is not my strong point, I have to say.

They were about to give you Numbers, then they picked up on the fact that you work with grants, don't you?

Yeah, I'm crunching numbers all day at work. They picked up on that.

You have one more chance to find perfection before the final. Ready to play the next round? Yes.

Then let's play Round Three. APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

That sounds quite possible. True. True.

False. False.

It sounds true. Perhaps. True. And finally...

False. False.

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

You didn't hang around on those very long. Again they're not questions that I'm confident on.

There didn't seem much point in hanging around.

Time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Katie, how has she done this time? I'm unsure about D, in particular, and also C.

I think it was somebody else for the Defense Secretary for George W Bush. Neil?

I pretty much agree with Katie. I think she's done well, but I think C is incorrect.

And I'm dubious about D.

Amy, you need to have answered all four perfectly to have won the round. How many are correct?

Two out of four again.

Consistent. Yes, but consistently not perfection. You've let the Usual Suspects back into the game.

Can you steal the round? You need to change two answers, but which two?

Do you want C and D? I think C and D. Are we happy with A and B?

There's nothing tricky in those questions. No. C and D? C and D.

We'd like to change C from "true" to "false". C from "true" to "false".

And D from "false" to "true". Leaving A and B as answered by Amy.

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

"Grappa is an Italian alcoholic drink." True or false?

Yes, it's true. A spirit made from grapes.

"The book Dracula is partly set in Blackpool." Is that true or false?

Yes, that's false. A famous sequence takes place in the seaside town of Whitby.

"Bill Hicks was George W Bush's Defense Secretary." True or false?

Yeah, that's false. He was a comedian.

"The Orange River is the longest in South Africa." True or false?

It's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

The Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed and have stolen the round. Let's see the final board.

Four categories chosen by yourselves and you won that round too,

so you choose the last two, completing Amy's pain. Which two would you like her to play?

You two did all the work, so pick one each. Oh, goodness!

Ball Games? We'd like Ball Games. Ball Games goes into the final.

And I'd like to see Numbers. And Numbers, please, Nick. And Numbers goes into the final.

We now know our six final categories.

OK, guys, very well played. Time to switch you off for the final time.

That's really interesting. He said, "Let's not pick Numbers because Amy knows numbers,"

then chose Numbers for you! They played into your hands there. Yeah.

And Ball Games, I'm guessing with three children, you've taken part in the occasional ball game. Yeah.

So you're in with a chance here. Yeah. Amy, for £3,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

This is the all-important final. If you can achieve perfection, you could be leaving with £3,000.

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

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £4,000 on the next game. Let's play the final round.

Amy, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £3,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit, but once you've given your answer, it's locked in. Ready? Yeah.

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

Peacocks...

That's true. True.

Counties...

That's true. True.

Rivers...

Yeah, I think that's true as well.

True.

Awards...

No, I think there's lots of prizes for music,

but I don't think I've ever heard anybody mention the Pulitzer Prize

in association with a musician or any sort of musical artist,

so I'm going to say "false". False.

Ball Games...

I expect it probably is a fairly old game.

Whether or not it originated in Rugby and got its name that way, I'm not sure about...

I think I'll say "true". True. And finally, Numbers...

I believe that 40 would be IVX,

so I'm going to say "false". False.

And with that, Amy, those answers are locked in.

If there's one mistake, you leave with nothing, so which ones are you worried about? The rugby one, E.

Um...D and C. I think the other three, I'm fairly confident on.

So C, D and E are worrying you? Yeah.

Let's see what the Usual Suspects have to say.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements and next to them are Amy's answers.

Amy, your answers are now locked in, but if you think you made a mistake,

you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects. This will come at a cost.

Amy, who would you like to hear from first? Katie.

I was just wondering how confident you are with your answers?

I would say I'm 80% happy.

I think I'd just like to have the confidence of having somebody else to knock about ideas with.

Yeah, I think I'm 80% happy as well, so I'm a little bit concerned

that the 20% we're not happy with, it's going to be the same ones.

OK. I'll have a think. All right. Neil?

I know you have one wrong. I think you may have another wrong. I'd quite like to hear what Val's got to say.

Sorry. No-one's committing at the moment.

No. Hi, Val. Hi, Amy. I know you've definitely got one wrong. All right. I'd like more time to think as well.

Can I come back to you, Katie? There's one in particular that I'm really not sure about.

I think I'm going to rule myself out. I'm sorry. OK.

Val, what if I was to split 50/50?

There's £3,000 in the pot, so you're being offered £1,500 to join in, Val.

No, I think I won't do it this time. OK. Val's withdrawn. That just leaves you with Neil.

- Come on, Neil. - I'm finding it really difficult.

No, I'm sorry, I'm going to rule myself out definitely.

I've never seen three Usual Suspects say "maybe", then all of them...

I think they've talked each other out of it. Oh, dear.

None of our Usual Suspects are willing to help. £3,000 at stake, six answers away.

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

Now that we know this is what we're doing, we might as well find out...

Neil, you said one that you thought was wrong. I think F is wrong because L is 50 and C is 100.

Katie, which one did you think was wrong? I'm not sure about D, in particular. OK.

Val, which one did you think was wrong? I think there might be a Pulitzer Prize for music.

Between them they think you've got a lot wrong, but the last time this happened,

the Usual Suspects came up with two or three that were wrong

and somebody walked away with the cash, so let's see what happens.

"Female peacocks are called peahens." You said this was true. We'd like this to turn green.

True or false? It's true. APPLAUSE

"There is a county in Ireland called County Mayo." You said it was true. Is it true or false?

It is true. APPLAUSE

"The Rhine is longer than the Thames." You thought this was true.

If it is, you are halfway to the money on your own. Is that true or false?

It is true. Very well played. APPLAUSE

Considering that you didn't want Rivers, you can be very proud of that answer.

Let's move on. "There is a Pulitzer Prize for music." You said "false".

The Usual Suspects doubted that this was right. If it turns red, you are two away from the money.

Is it true or false?

It's true, I'm afraid.

You haven't achieved perfection, so you won't be taking home the cash. Can you achieve perfection at home?

Let's find out how well you've done overall, Amy.

Rugby originated at Rugby School in the 1600s.

You were more worried about rugby from Rugby rather than the date.

You said true. True or false?

False, I'm afraid.

It was Rugby School, but it was believed to be originated there in 1823,

not the 1600s. And XL is 40 in Roman numerals. True or false?

I'm afraid it's true. L is 50.

Putting the X before it, that makes the number 40. As soon as I said it, I knew. Honestly?

Yes. So that's great news for the Usual Suspects.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game where one of you could be playing for £4,000.

Amy, that was fairly tough. You go home with nothing except our thanks. I hope you enjoyed it.

I had a lovely time. Excellent. Let's hear it for Amy, everybody.

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

Please introduce yourself.

Hi, I'm Maureen from Cumbernauld. I'm a self-employed administrator and bookkeeper.

Welcome, Maureen. We now find out who has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Maureen, it's you! Come and join me.

Welcome to the game. I was looking through your notes. You do an amazing thing as a volunteer.

Yes, I work with the Humanist Society of Scotland and we go weekly

and feed the homeless, which is really rewarding. They're lovely.

Fantastic. As tropical as the weather is in Scotland, it can be handy having a warm meal. It can.

These guys really appreciate it. And you like to go travelling in a camper van, don't you?

I had my first experience of that in April and we went to a place on the west coast called Arisaig.

How warm and tropical was it? It was minus 10 at night. Absolutely tropical! It was wonderful.

Whose idea of a holiday is that?! My husband's. Is it? Yes.

Was it fun? Absolutely wonderful. You got up in the morning and once you knocked the icicles off,

it was absolutely great. Maureen, it's you versus the Usual Suspects.

They're now your enemies. Nobody's won the last three games, so the prize fund stands at £4,000!

What would you spend the money on? My husband and I went to Australia, to the Barrier Reef,

on our honeymoon. We'd love to take the kids back.

Best of luck. Three rounds and a final. Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off now,

but when Maureen makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game.

Are you ready? As ready as I'll ever be.

Even if you're not, we're getting started. Let's play Perfection.

Round One. Your 45 seconds start now.

False. I don't think that's right. False. Yep.

Never heard of it, but I'm going to say false on that one as well. False.

I'm sure that's correct, yes. So you're saying... True. Thank you.

Certainly Italy... Over that way. True.

True. And you've answered all four. How did that feel? Not bad at all.

Elba, I know that's where Napoleon's resting place was. So over that way.

All right, it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Hello. These are the four statements and Maureen's answers. Val, has she achieved perfection?

I thought a hypocaust might be something to do with Roman baths, so I might change that to true.

Katie, what do you think? I think she's got two wrong.

A hypocaust is underfloor heating. I've seen it in Northumberland.

And Elba is off the coast of Tuscany, I think. Neil? If not perfection,

she's got B wrong. That is the hot question. Very good.

OK, it's the moment of truth. You need all four to have won the round. Let's see how many are correct.

Two out of four is an average score in a 50/50 game.

You've now let your enemies in. Can you steal the round?

You need to change two. Which two? B and D? I think so. Definitely.

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

And D from true to false. That didn't take long. A and C stay as Maureen answered.

Let's find the correct answers. French presidents reside in the Bastille. True or false?

It is false. The Elysee Palace is their official residence.

A hypocaust was a form of Roman underfloor heating. True or false?

Absolutely true. If you've seen one, Katie, there was no doubting it!

Devil's Coach Horse is a type of beetle. Is that true or false?

Yeah, that one's true. And Elba is an island in the Bay of Biscay. True or false?

It's false. Congratulations. You have achieved perfection.

It's in the Mediterranean. Maureen, they've succeeded and stolen the round from you.

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

You have Russian, Pirates, 1980s Music, Biographies, Kung Fu, with many more in-between.

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

Which two would you like? How about Russian? Fine with me. Russian, please.

Russian goes into the final. What about Pacific Islands? She didn't know about Elba. OK.

Pacific Islands, please. Pacific Islands. Well done.

It's time to switch you off, but we'll see you in Round Two.

Now that they've gone, Russian? Depends on the question. They think you're weak on your geography.

That's a bit harsh. A bit harsh. Let's look at those on the left. Pick two you're trying to avoid.

Probably Biographies.

And Opera. And the first two you would choose?

Wildlife and...1980s Music. All right, Maureen.

You still have two more rounds to find perfection. Are you ready? Of course.

Let's play Round Two.

Your 45 seconds start now.

True. True.

Yep.

I think... it was possibly later than that.

So I'm going to say false. False.

I think that's true. True. And finally...

False. False. And with that you've answered all four. How was that?

Tricky. Tricky? Tricky, yeah.

Let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

These were the four statements and Maureen's answers. Katie, has she achieved perfection?

I'm not sure. I'm suspect about C because of the wording of it. I'm not sure about a novel.

It might be an extended poem. Neil? I'm not sure about C as well.

And I'm nervous about D. Val, what do you think? Katie stole my words.

I think Shropshire Lad was a poem. It was by AE Housman, but I think it's a poem.

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

Two out of four. Two again!

I'm afraid you've let them in and they might steal this round.

You have to change two. Which two? We definitely want to change C.

All right. Change C from true to false. And one more.

I think the Olympics was in Tokyo. It's either A or D.

What do we want? I'm not sure about A. It might be a trick question.

Leeches... They suck blood. And I think they inject something to make your blood flow.

Whether they're used in drugs, I don't know. You think A? I'll go with Katie. I don't know!

We'll change A from true to false.

A changes, leaving B and D as answered by Maureen.

Let's find out the correct answers.

Leeches have been used to produce anticoagulant drugs. True or false?

It's true, Usual Suspects. You had the chance, but failed to achieve perfection.

Let's see the rest of the answers. Maybe you can do it.

The 1964 Summer Olympics took place in Tokyo. True or false?

That's the one. That's true.

A Shropshire Lad is a novel by AE Housman. True or false?

Yeah, that's false. It is a collection of poems as you said.

Finland still has the death penalty.

Yeah, that's false.

It was abolished in the early 1970s.

Let's see the final board.

Maureen, the two categories that were due to be chosen will now be carried over to the next round.

Usual Suspects, we'll see you in Round Three. Cheerio. And away they go.

Maureen, with four categories on offer, this is a good one to win. Definitely.

Let's play Round Three.

Your 45 seconds start now.

That's false. False. Something to do with money.

This is a trick one. I'm going to say...false.

False.

True. True. And finally...

I think that's true. And you've answered all four.

You seemed more confident. A bit. The questions suited me a bit more that time.

We'll wait and see the answers! Why was Simple Minds a trick? Simple Minds was Jim Kerr.

And where were they from? They were from...Scotland, weren't they?

I can't say at this stage. Oh, I don't know!

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

These are the four statements and Maureen's answers. Neil, has she achieved perfection this time?

I don't think so. I ought to know this, but I'm pretty sure C is not Henry V.

I think it was Henry VII. They found Richard I's body there. Katie, what do you think?

I'm a little unsure on C and D, I know he was Labour, but I'm not sure if he was Home Secretary.

Val, help us out here. I'm not sure about C. I think the others are right. The moment of truth.

Maureen, you need to have answered them all correctly to win. Let's see how many are correct. OK.

Three out of four is pretty good. Better. Better.

Close, but no cigar. Unfortunately, you've let them in again. They can steal the round.

You need to change one answer, but which one? We agreed on C. I think C.

Enough of us are unsure, I think. We'd like to change C from true to false. C changes from true to false,

leaving A, B and D as answered by Maureen. Let's find out what the correct answers are.

The US Federal Reserve is a prison. True or false?

Yeah, it's false. It's the central bank.

Simple Minds is the name of an Australian band. True or false?

Yeah, it is false. As you said, Maureen... Scottish. A Scottish band.

Henry V defeated Richard III at Bosworth Field. True or false?

Yeah, false. As you pointed out, it was Henry VII who defeated Richard III at Bosworth Field.

Finally, Roy Jenkins was a Labour Home Secretary. True or false?

True.

Congratulations. You have achieved perfection.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Maureen's chances as hard as they can be.

Let's look at the final board.

Two categories on there. You've earned the right to add the last two and two from the middle round.

So which four categories would you like to choose for the final? One each again.

She's had a few history questions wrong, so I'd like to see Pirates. Pirates goes across.

I think I would like to choose Wildlife. Wildlife goes in.

I don't think she'll know much about Kung Fu, so Kung Fu.

Kung Fu goes into the final. I need one more. Latin America?

Geography. All right, Latin America. Latin America goes into the final. We now know our six categories.

They are...

OK, guys, very well played. Time to switch you off. Away they go.

You wanted Wildlife. That was nice of them. Yeah. My children do martial arts.

That's handy. I've watched Pirates of the Caribbean! That's all you need to know.

Latin America... We'll see. Yes, we'll see!

Maureen, for £4,000 it's time to play the final.

Maureen, if you can achieve perfection, you could leave with £4,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing and one of them could play for a rollover of £5,000 in the next game.

Let's play the final round.

Here are your final six categories. You must answer all six correctly if you want to win the £4,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit, but your first answer is locked in.

Ready? Ready. Let's reveal your first statement. Is it true or false?

Russian.

I think that's correct. I think that's true. True. Yep. Pacific Islands.

I think that is...false.

False. Yep. Pirates.

He sounds very Welsh. Yes, we'll go with true. True. Wildlife.

I think that's true. I think the hen has a white bill

and the male has an orange bill. So you're saying true. True.

Kung Fu.

That's true. True.

And, finally, Latin America.

I think that's false. False. False.

And with that those six statements are locked in. That's us, yeah. You all right?

My fate is in my own hands. Which ones are you unsure of?

The Marshall Islands I'm not sure on. Probably not sure on C either.

B and C. B and C, yeah. All right, let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

You can now see the final six statements and Maureen's answers. Your answers are now locked in,

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

Who would you like first? I think Neil.

How confident are you, Maureen?

I'm confident on...

four.

I'm very nervous because there's two I really think... I'm going to rule myself out.

OK, who next? Katie, please.

The wording of a few of them is bothering me, but what would you be prepared to offer me?

There's £4,000 prize fund available. I'd go half and half.

Half and half, hmm. Can you come back to me? Of course. Thank you.

OK, Val? There's one I definitely think you've got wrong, but I'm not sure enough to help.

Eve for all the money, I wouldn't come down. Oh! Sorry.

I'd love to help you, but I can't. At least it's very clear.

OK, Katie? Back to Katie. I'm really not sure.

There are two I'm very unhappy about. Do you think we could work it out if you came down?

Oh, goodness. I think I have to rule myself out. I'm really sorry. OK, no problem.

Which means you're on your own. Negotiations have come to a conclusion.

So you are on your own. £4,000 at stake, six answers away. OK.

Let's find out if you have achieved perfection.

Well, we have to find out now. Katie, you thought there were two you were worried about.

I'm worried about B and I should know A, but I'm thinking is it "glasnost"?

I don't know. All right. We might as well get started. Top or bottom? Start at the top.

Start at the top. All right. Perestroika is Russian for openness. You said this was true. Yeah.

This would also answer one of Katie's questions.

Perestroika is Russian for openness. Is that true or false?

It's false, I'm afraid. OK.

Never mind. It's Russian for reconstruction.

The word for openness is... Glasnost. Glasnost, Katie.

Can you still achieve perfection at home? Let's go through the rest to find out how you've done.

The Marshall Islands were a UK protectorate. True or false? You said false. True or false?

It is false. German protectorate until Japan seized them in 1914.

The buccaneer Captain Henry Morgan was Welsh. You said he sounded Welsh. True or false?

It's true. The adult common moorhen has a white bill. You thought this was true.

You think it might be the moor...man. Yes, whatever.

The male of the species.

You said true. True or false.

Oh, the other way round. I'm afraid it's false. Its bill is red. OK.

Enter The Dragon was a film starring Bruce Lee. You said this was true.

True. And, finally, Manuel Noriega was president of Nicaragua. True or false?

It is false, as you said.

Dictator of Panama. Yeah.

So four out of six where you didn't choose any of your own categories. It wasn't bad.

Something to be proud of. The two you got wrong weren't the ones you'd have helped with, Katie.

Em...no. So probably just as well you didn't decide to join in. I think so.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game where one of you could be playing for a total of £5,000.

Katie thinks she's dodged a bullet. Maureen, you failed to achieve perfection so you go with nothing

other than our thanks. Hope you enjoyed it. It's been a wonderful day. Let's hear it for Maureen!

That's all we have time for. Please join us next time when we play again for £5,000,

but remember on this show we will only pay for perfection. Goodbye.
