Episode 22 Perfection

Welcome to the show that demands Perfection.

Our four contestants will be hoping their knowledge is flawless

as one single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

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 was 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 contestants get 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.

Hi, my name's Elaine, I'm from Caerphilly,

I'm a retired nursing assistant and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm David, I'm from Prestwick, I'm a student

and this is my second game.

Hi, I'm Lucy from Maidstone, I run a dance school

and this is my third game.

Hello, my name is Val, I come from Bedford,

I'm a retired quantity surveyor and THIS is my 11th game.

Welcome to you all and best of luck as we now find out

which one has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

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

David, welcome to the game.

It's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

Their job is to stop you from winning the prize fund, cos your failure

will mean the prize money rolls over to the next game,

where they could be playing for a bigger total.

Every game on Perfection is worth ?1,000.

Here's the good news, no-one's won the last FIVE games,

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

What would you spend the money on if you won it?

I've had a long-running ambition with a load of friends to try

and get to Florida and it's been going for about

three or four years and it keeps getting put off.

As a last-ditch attempt before we all grow up,

so I'd love to be able to buy a ticket to Florida with that.

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.

If your performance is less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects will have the chance

to step in and steal the round from you,

making the final that much harder.

We're going to switch you off for now,

so you can't see or hear anything. Cheerio.

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 an answer,

your first answer will be locked in.

Are you ready? As ready as I'm going to be.

Then let's play Perfection.

Round one, your 45 seconds start now.

So, no, I think that might be in France.

I'm going to say false for that. False.

Never heard of it.

I'm going to say false for that one too. False.

Some house.

Could be, could be.

I'll say false as well for that one. False. And finally...

I think she might have, yeah. I'm going to say true for that one.

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

Good time management there.

Spent the time thinking about them when you needed to do so.

Did that feel like a strong round? A bit tough, I'll be honest.

There's quite a few there that I'm not sure of but you never know.

Before we reveal how you've done,

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

These were the four statements

and next to them are David's answers.

Val, has he achieved Perfection?

He may well have done, but I don't know about C and D.

Lucy, can you shed any light on those?

I think I'd have agreed with his answers there.

I think he might have done it.

Elaine, can you pick any holes in those answers?

No, not really.

I think he has achieved Perfection.

David, the moment of truth.

You need to have all statements perfectly to have won the round.

Let's see how many are correct.

Congratulations, David, you have achieved Perfection.

That's a very good start.

Let's go through them in more detail, shall we?

A...

You said that was false because you thought it was in France

and it is because it's in France.

B...

You said this was false and it is false, it was by John Wyndham.

The man who wrote Day of the Triffids. Oh, yeah.

C...

You said this was false.

It is, of course...

false.

They were famously antagonistic towards each other.

D...

You said you thought that was true

and it is... true. She appeared

in a Christmas special.

David, as a result of that perfect performance,

you may win the prize fund that much easier.

Appearing before you is your final board.

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

Here are your final round categories appearing.

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

to choose two categories to add to the final board.

Take your time, which two do you fancy? I'd like geometry.

Geometry goes in.

And...I think I'll go with alloys as well.

And alloys goes into the final.

A cracking start, if you keep that up,

they're not going to get a look in. He's on fire, isn't he?

ALL: He's doing well.

Yeah, we'll see you in the next round. Cheerio. Bye.

So, let's have a look at the list over there.

Pick me a couple that you definitely want to avoid if you can.

Definitely Jane Austen and I think...

probably bridges I'd want to avoid as well,

that could be really broad and I'm not very good with bridges.

And pick a couple that will be next on your list to choose.

I think stars could be interesting and I think professions might be...

I mean, it could be easy or it could be really difficult as well.

So I'd probably plump for them next.

You're playing really well.

If you keep that up then they won't get a look in.

So, if you're ready, let's play round two.

Your 45 seconds start now.

I'm not sure what won it, but I don't think it was a beagle,

so I'm going to say false for that. False.

I think...

I think a Reuben contains pastrami so I'm going to say false for that.

False.

Total guess...

I will go true for that one.

True, and finally...

I don't watch it but I'm quite sure she has,

so I'll go for true for that.

True and with time to spare you answered all four.

You sounded very confident again.

Maybe, some of them are quite good. I'm quite sure on D.

Before we reveal how well you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

These were the four statements

and next to them are David's answers.

Lucy, how's he done this time?

I think he might have done Perfection again.

Val, can you see anything wrong with his answers?

I think he's got Perfection as well. I'd agreed with Lucy.

All right, David, the moment of truth,

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

Ooh, two out of four, certainly not Perfection.

And in a 50/50 game, a very average score, I'm afraid.

You've now let your enemies the Usual Suspects into the game.

Here's your chance, can you steal the round?

You need to change two of David's answers but which two?

I didn't watch Crufts.

No. Nor me.

I've no idea about a sandwich.

I've never heard of a Welsh manager.

So, shall we change

C from true to false? Yep.

And what's our other one?

I really don't know, the sandwich?

Yeah, let's do the sandwich.

OK, Nick, we'd like

to change B from false to true.

B changes from false to true.

And C from true to false.

And C from true to false, leaving

A and D as answered by David.

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

A...

Is that true or false?

It is false.

It was won by a Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen.

Oh, that was on the tip of my tongue. We knew that, didn't we?

I know, it was on the tip of everyone's tongue, wasn't it? Yeah.

B...

True. Wow, that's interesting.

This next one will decide it then.

C...

It's false. In actual fact he's from Northern Ireland.

And finally, D...

It's true, congratulations Usual Suspects,

you have achieved Perfection.

Oh, dear, David. The Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed

and they've stolen the round.

Let's see the final board.

Cos you won the round, you've earned the right

to choose the next two categories to add to the board.

So which two would you like David to play?

Jane Austen? Yes. Jane Austen, please.

Jane Austen goes into the final and another one?

I'd be quite interested to see what porcupines...

That's quite interesting.

We'll find out what porcupines is about, please.

Thank you. Porcupines goes in as well.

Congratulations, very well played.

Time to switch you off, but we'll see you in round three.

Straight in with the one that you didn't want

and what wouldn't you like? Jane Austen, they zeroed in on it.

Yeah, porcupines?

My porcupine facts are very limited, but you never know.

OK, well, look, don't worry, it's only two out of the six.

Put that aside.

Let's go on and return to your form of round one, shall we? Yep.

Let's play round three.

Your 45 seconds start now.

I've heard of her as a politician but I...

I don't think she's Speaker of the House, I think it's male,

so I'm going to say false for that one. False.

I'm going to also say false for that one. False.

I don't even know what Brave New World is.

We'll go for true for that one, it's a guess. True. And finally...

Never heard of that one either,

so I'm going to have

to say false for that one.

False and you've answered all four statements again.

You don't hang around with them, do you? I don't.

Happy? I'm honestly not convinced on any of them.

Before we reveal how well you've done,

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

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are David's answers.

Elaine, has he achieved Perfection this time?

I think he may have done it this time, Nick.

Lucy, surely you can find something wrong with his answers?

D would be a stab in the dark.

I wouldn't know if that were true or false.

And, of course, a stab in the dark was very popular in Roman times.

Val, has he achieved Perfection?

Well, it really pains me to say this but I think he has got Perfection.

I remember Lurcio being a character played by Frankie Howerd,

so I don't think he was a Roman emperor.

David, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly

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

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

You've let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

Can you steal the round?

You can see David's answers. You need to change just one.

Right, well, A he's got correct.

He's got it correct because it's John Bercow, isn't it?

The Gulf Steam, I thought was in the Atlantic. Yeah, I agree.

Winston Smith's definitely the main character in Brave New World.

So Frankie Howerd wasn't Lurcio...

Let's go with D. Can we change D, please, from false to true, Nick?

You'd like to change D

from false to true,

leaving A, B and C

as answered by David.

Elaine, you were quite quiet during those discussions? I know.

Are you happy with that?

Yes. Yeah, I'm fine. I'm quite happy to go with the two girls.

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

A...

Is that true or false?

It is false.

Her husband John Bercow became Speaker in 2009.

B...

It is false.

It starts in the Caribbean and travels to the North Atlantic.

C...

Is that true or false?

That's false.

And you were so confident!

I know. It's 1984.

He is the central character in 1984. And you knew it

and you didn't come up with it. I did.

Usual Suspects, you had the chance

to steal the round, but you failed to find Perfection.

Perhaps you can still get Perfection at home.

Let's have a look at this last one. D...

Is that true or false?

No, it is false.

As you quite rightly said, Val, it was Frankie Howerd's character...

in Up Pompeii - Lurcio.

Let's see the final board.

Because nobody managed to win round three, we have two blank spaces

to fill and you're going to take it in turns to fill those spaces.

David, as the single player, you get to choose first.

Which category would you like?

Stars, please, Nick. Stars goes into the final.

Usual Suspects, choose a category, please.

Let Elaine do it, because we spoilt it for her.

I think we'll try skyscrapers.

You certainly can, it goes into the final.

We now know our six final categories. They are...

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

What do you make of that then as a board? Yeah, they look OK.

Don't want to be too confident because I'm not, but you never know.

You're in with a chance.

David, for ?6,000, it's time to play the final.

This is the all-important final. If you can achieve Perfection,

you could be leaving with a prize fund of ?6,000.

If you fail, you'll be leaving with nothing,

which is great news for the Usual Suspects,

as one of them could be playing

for a rollover of ?7,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

Here are your six final categories.

Now, you must answer ALL six correctly

if you want to win the ?6,000.

Think carefully, there's no time limit

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

Are you ready? I am.

Let's reveal your first statement.

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

Yes, I know this one.

A diameter is the distance the whole way across the circle

and the radius is half of that.

So that's true.

True.

B...

I've never even heard of Britannia metal.

I...am going to say false for that one, please.

False.

C...

Heard of the Bennet sisters.

They might be in Emma. No, I'll say true for that,

I think they are.

True.

D...

I think they probably are rodents.

I'll go true for that one.

True.

E...

Orion is nearly always visible in Scotland for some reason,

and it's definitely a hunter because it's Orion's Belt

and it's the tools on his belt, so that's definitely true.

True.

F...

I've heard of The Shard.

Could have been designed by anyone.

But it rings a bell somewhere, so I'm going to say true.

True.

All six answers are locked in.

If there's a single mistake,

you leave with nothing.

Which ones are you worried about?

Definitely worried about B.

C, I'm oddly confident on,

but it could be wrong.

And, you never know, porcupines might be mammals.

Probably B, C and D.

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

You can now see the final six statements

and next to them are David's answers.

David, your answers are now locked and you can't change them.

If you think you've made a mistake,

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

This will come at a cost.

David, who would you like to hear from first?

Val first, please.

I think you've done quite well.

But I am quite attached to this seat,

so I don't think I'm coming down at this point.

Val's not coming down.

What about Lucy?

There's one there that I'd be very nervous of.

And I would contemplate coming down.

How much would you be looking for?

Half.

So ?3,000.

OK, I'll come back to Lucy.

Elaine.

I believe that he has got them all right.

I'm quite confident and he's got Perfection again.

You didn't fancy saying he's got a couple wrong

and you can help him out and take some of his money off him?

Not a very good player.

This has to be your decision now.

I think Lucy knows that most of them are right.

I'm going to go ahead and play it on my own I think.

You think she's bluffing?

I think she is.

Thank you very much.

Negotiations are at an end.

David, you decided to go it alone.

?6,000 at stake. Six answers away.

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

Maybe we should turn to Lucy at this stage.

I think he's got it.

I think he's done well.

He saw through me.

She was just after half of your cash.

I know Lucy.

Let's start off.

A...

You said that was true.

It is true or false?

It is true.

Very well played.

B...

You thought false,

although you weren't quite sure of Britannia metal.

Is that true or false?

It is false.

It's approximately 90% tin.

C...

You said you heard of the Bennet sisters.

You said true.

Is that true or false?

It's true.

What do you think your chances are now?

Only F I think.

I'm not sure about F.

That's the shadow hanging there.

D...

You went for true.

True or false?

True.

E...

You said this was true.

We're expecting it to turn green.

Is it true or false?

It is true.

It was you versus the ladies

and it appears that they've been unable to stop you so far.

There was always, lurking in the background, F.

F...

You had a long think about this

and decided that it could be true.

You've said true.

If it turns green, you go home with...

?6,000.

However, if this turns red...

Lucy has dodged the bullet when she tried to get down here

and has a chance to play for ?7,000 in the next game.

F...

You went for true. Is it true or false...

for ?6,000?

It's false.

It's false.

What a game you played.

Know any other architects?

I barely know Norman Foster.

His name was Renzo Piano.

You won't forget that.

You played a cracking game, and to get five out of six there,

when three of the subject categories have been chosen for you

by the Usual Suspects, doing their damndest to stop you,

I thought that was a pretty good game.

Usual Suspects, great news for you,

especially Lucy that he didn't buy into your subterfuge,

you live to fight another day.

The prize fund rolls over into the next game

where one of you could be playing for a total of ?7,000.

Unfortunately, I have to say to you, you failed to achieve Perfection,

which means you leave with nothing, other than our thanks.

I hope you enjoyed yourself. Yeah, definitely did.

Let's hear if for David, everybody. APPLAUSE

It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect

hoping to play Perfection today.

Usual Suspect, please introduce yourselves.

Hi, my name's Cleve. I'm from Leeds and I'm a musician.

Lovely to have you aboard.

Best of luck as we now find out which one of you

has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Lucy, it's you!

Please come down and play Perfection.

Lucy, welcome to the show.

It's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

Here's the good news, no-one's won the last six games.

The prize fund currently stands at ?7,000.

That is a particular juicy amount of money there.

If you walked away with that, what would you be spending it on?

I've got a little boy who's three years old

and I'd love to take him on a lovely holiday to Disney.

He goes to a really love school, I'd love to keep him on there,

so I'd be tucking some away for his fees in the future as well.

You almost came down,

almost bluffed your way into a losing hand in the last game,

and that's not the first time you've done that.

You almost bluffed your way into a losing hand before.

Yeah, so let's hope it's third time lucky.

Let's find out, shall we? Three rounds of the finals to come.

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

As soon as Lucy makes a mistake you'll be back in the game. Cheerio.

Shall we get started? Let's do this.

Let's play Perfection.

Round one. Your 45 seconds start now.

A...

Wow, 40 films.

I know they did a lot together.

I'm going to say true.

True.

B...

I don't think that's correct.

I think that's false.

False.

C...

That rings a bell, but, no,

I'm going to go false on that.

False? And finally...

Oh, I'm not a drinker.

I'm going to say...

false. False. Yep.

And with good use of the time available to have some thinking

on that last one, you've answered all four statements.

How was that as a round?

To be honest, most of that is a stab in the dark, so...

Before we reveal how well you've done,

time to bring back those Usual Suspects.

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

Hello, Elaine. What do you think of those answers?

Anything wrong with them?

I know Astaire and Rogers made a lot of films together,

but I don't think it was as many as 40.

Cleve, what do you think of those answers?

I think A is highly unlikely, that they made 40 films together.

Ah, Lucy, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly

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

AUDIENCE GROANS

One out of four certainly isn't Perfection.

It's not even an average score in a 50-50 game. It's pretty poor.

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

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

You need to change three of them, but which three?

What about pisco being distilled from grapes?

Cleve, what do you think? It would be calculated guess.

We're not sure, Nick, but we're going to say

that we want to change D from false to true, please.

You want to change D from false to true.

We want to change A from true to false, absolutely.

A changes from true to false.

I think German measles might have been called liberty measles.

I think B's the one that's...

Yeah, she's got one... We all agree.

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

B changes from false to true.

So C remains as Lucy answered.

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

A, is that true or false?

False.

They actually only made ten together.

B, is that true or false?

In actual fact, that is true.

C, is that true or false?

False.

She claimed to be a friend of his, but certainly not his widow.

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

D, is that true or false?

It's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

you have achieved Perfection.

Oh, dear, Lucy, they managed to succeed where you failed.

This is your final board appearing before you.

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

Here are your final board category options,

starting with Ballroom,

going through Popes, Ancient World, Stately Homes

and onto Calendars with many more in between.

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you, they choose

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

Usual Suspects, which two would you like Lucy to play?

I've been here a long time, so I'll let you two choose one each.

Right, OK. I will go for the Ancient World.

Ancient World goes into the final.

I will go for Popes.

Popes goes into the final. Well done, Usual Suspects.

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

But we will see you in round two.

OK, Lucy, Ancient World?

Yeah, they've picked a right nightmare one there. And Popes?

Would be my second non-choice. Non-choice?

So let's have a look at the list over there.

Which two will you be picking first given the option?

The top two look great, Ballroom and Catchphrases.

Which two would you like to avoid?

Fictional Cops and Stately Homes, maybe. Yeah.

Well, Lucy, it's only the first round.

You still have two more rounds to find Perfection

and choose own categories for the final. Yes. You ready? I'm ready.

Then let's play round two.

Your 45 seconds start now.

I've got a feeling this...

I want to say it might be true,

but I'm going to go false. No.

False? Yes.

I know that's definitely correct. That's true.

True. Yep.

I know there are a lot of old ones that are no longer in use.

Sutton Hoo?

I'm not sure. I'm going to say true. True, and finally...

Oh, was it Joni Mitchell? Um...

I'm going to say true. True.

Again, good thinking time used there.

What did you think of that round?

I'm certain of B. The other three, educated guesses.

All right, before we reveal how well you've done,

time to bring back those Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements

and next to them are Lucy's answers.

Elaine, what do you think of those answers?

I can recall reading that Jenson Button

did fail his first driving test, so I would change that.

Thank you, Elaine. Val?

Sutton Hoo's definitely not an old London Underground station.

I think it's a place in the Midlands.

All right, then. Lucy, the moment of truth.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Two out of four.

50% more than last time, though, so let's look at it positively.

That's absolutely true.

That is the positive aspect.

The negative aspect is that you haven't achieved Perfection

and your enemies are into the game again.

Can you steal the round? You need to change two answers.

So, have a look and see which two you would like to change.

Jenson Button failed his first test.

I think I've read that somewhere.

It seems quite feasible.

So, we'll change A from false to true.

A changes from false to true.

And one more, please.

I've never heard of Sutton Hoo before.

And do we know about Joni Mitchell? I think that may be true.

OK. We'd like to change C from true to false, please, Nick.

C from true to false, leaving B and D as answered by Lucy.

Thank you very much, Usual Suspects.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

Jenson Button failed his first driving test,

could that be true or false?

It is actually true.

Graphite is a form of carbon, is that true or false?

That is true.

Here's the key one. Sutton Hoo is an old London Underground station,

is that true or false?

It is, of course, false.

It's a site of a famous Anglo-Saxon burial ground.

Joni Mitchell released an album called Blue, true or false?

It's true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved Perfection.

Well done. You're two for two. Let's see the final board.

First two subject categories on there

chosen by the Usual Suspects. Because you won that round as well,

you get to choose the next two as well. So, which two would you like?

Shall we do Catchphrases?

And how about Stately Homes? OK.

OK. We'd like to move across Catchphrases, please.

Catchphrases goes in.

And Stately Homes, please. And stately homes.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

Time to switch you off, but we'll see you in round three.

Well, that's interesting.

They've zeroed in on one that you didn't want, Stately Homes,

but they picked Catchphrases for you.

Yes. I can't feel too hard done by.

No. Are you ready to play on? Ready to play on.

Then let's play round three.

Your 45 seconds start now.

I don't think that's true. No. False.

Hmm. That sounds like perhaps an unofficial guide.

I think that's false.

Er...

I'm going to say true with that one.

Yeah, I think that's true. I think that's true.

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

Now that sounded very different to the first two rounds.

Yes. Very confident.

If I could do 50% better than the last round,

we'd be doing Perfection, so that would be all right.

No, you wouldn't. That would be three out of four. Oh, yeah.

I mean, my maths isn't brilliant, but if you get two and 50% better...

It's a good thing maths isn't a topic on the side.

That's true. OK. Before we reveal exactly how well you've done,

and before you do any more maths, let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements

and next to them are Lucy's answers.

Cleve, has she achieved perfection this time round?

I have doubts about that and I think the issue is around C.

OK. Val, can you see anything wrong with those answers?

I'm very doubtful about D.

I don't remember Georges Braque, or whatever his name is,

being founder of the Cubist movement. Lucy, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have

won the round. Let's see how many are correct.

Three out of four. It's going up though.

Lucy, you didn't quite manage to achieve Perfection.

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

Can you steal the round?

You can see Lucy's answers. You only need to change one, but which one?

How sure are you about Manhattan, Cleve?

I'm thinking of the boroughs and I would have,

if I was taking a random guess, I would have thought Queens or Harlem.

Let's go for C. Can we change C from true to false, please, Nick?

You can indeed.

C changes from true to false, leaving A, B

and D as answered by Lucy.

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

Is that true or false?

It's false - he never has.

That's false.

Burke's Peerage is what you're actually looking for.

Yeah, it's false, I'm afraid.

Brooklyn, actually, is the most populous.

Yeah, it's true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

Lucy, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed

and they've stolen the round. Let's see the final board.

Because you won the round, you've won the right to choose

the last two subject categories to add to the board,

so which two would you like Lucy to play?

Well, you've earned the right to choose one. Oh, wow.

I'm going to take a random stab at this one

and I'm going to say Fictional Cops.

Fictional Cops, please, Nick.

Fictional cops goes into the final. And one more, please.

Plays or Calendars, do you reckon?

Plays or Calendars? Go for Plays.

We're going to do plays. And plays makes it into the final.

We now know our six final categories, they are

Ancient World, Popes, Catchphrases, Stately Homes

Fictional Cops and Plays.

OK, guys, time to switch you off for the final time.

What do you reckon then? Wow.

Fictional Cops is one that you didn't particularly want.

We'll have to see. It's the way it falls. I'm not confident, no.

You're not? No. For ?7,000, it's worth a go, isn't it?

It's definitely, definitely worth a go.

Lucy, it's time to play the final.

Lucy, this is the all-important final.

If you can achieve Perfection,

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

If you fail, you'll be leaving with nothing,

which will be great news for the Usual Suspects

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of ?8,000

on the next game. Let's play the final round.

Lucy, here are your final six categories.

Now you must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the ?7,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit,

but once you've given an answer, your first answer,

it will be locked in.

Are you ready? I'm ready. OK.

Let's reveal your first statement.

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

It's going to be an absolutely...

50/50 guess.

I'm going to say false. False.

Yeah.

See, I can't remember where in the rankings Pope Benedict XVI was,

whether he was the current or the outgoing...

I'm going to go with false. I'm going to say false.

It's a bit of a guess. We'll see.

It's a catchphrase, but it's not from Dad's Army, no.

I can see the set-up.

"I'm free!" I can hear it in my head, but it wasn't Dad's Army,

so that is false and I'm confident of one.

Hurray! False. Yeah.

I know that Longleat is kind of far across towards

the west of the country.

I think it might be in Wiltshire, so I'm going to say false.

No. I think the accent will cause issues on that.

I'm going to say false kind of based on semantics, maybe.

False. False.

I actually did study The Crucible at school

and I really wish I'd paid slightly more attention.

I've got an inkling that that might be true,

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

True. And with that all your answers are locked in.

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

so which ones are you unsure of?

Where to begin?

Really and truly, the whole board apart from C.

I'm going to have to use some subterfuge here to try

and get some help.

All right then.

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

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and next to them are Lucy's answers.

Lucy, your answers are now locked in and you can't change them.

But if you think you've made a mistake you can unlock them

with the help of the Usual Suspects.

However, this will come at a cost.

Lucy, who would you like to hear from first?

Could I have Elaine, please?

There are two that I know that you've got wrong.

I'd be willing to come down for ?4,000.

Elaine would like ?4,000 of the ?7,000 to come down and help you.

OK. Do you want to hear from somebody else?

Let's go to Cleve.

There's definitely one that's definitely wrong.

How confident are you?

There's one that kind of I hesitated on,

but my fourth round is my best, I think, so...

There is one I know that she's absolutely got wrong,

but I couldn't speak on the other five, so...

So, you're out? Yeah. Thank you very much.

Val, can I come to you?

I think you've done quite well there, Lucy,

and if you wanted to have two heads instead of one,

I'd come down for 3,000.

So, Val wants ?3,000 of your ?7,000.

Well, this is fairly straightforward then,

unless you want to renegotiate.

I think, Nick, I'm going

to turn to my good friend on the panel there, Val.

I've sat next to her for a few games.

I'd like her to come down and put her head together with mine.

OK. You happy with that, Val?

?3,000 to come down and join us? Yeah.

Negotiations are complete then.

For ?3,000 of the ?7,000 prize fund, Val,

please come down and join us.

OK, Lucy, you've asked Val for help.

If you achieve Perfection,

it will cost you ?3,000 of your ?7,000 prize fund.

Val, you've now forfeited your chance to play in the next game.

This is your only shot at winning Perfection.

Have you made the right decision?

I think we're about to find out. Yeah.

Here are the final round statements. All six answers are now unlocked,

so start chatting and working out which ones you want to change.

Let's start from the top and go down, shall we? Yes.

Greece was once part of the Roman Empire - I don't think it was.

Are you pretty certain of that?

I don't think it was, so we'll stick with that.

Pope Benedict, born in Germany.

There's been a German Pope in there. Was it Benedict?

My initial reaction on Pope Benedict was that it was false.

Right. But I might be wrong.

I don't think it was, so we'll stick with that.

"I'm free" - we're all good on that, it's not Dad's Army.

Are You Being Served? Isn't it? That's the one.

Chatsworth is the seat of the Dukes of Devonshire.

And I thought Longleat was Wiltshire rather than Devonshire,

so we're happy on that. Wallander?

I'm not sure about Swedish. I thought it was Norwegian.

OK. I'm not sure.

And I didn't think Willy Loman was a character in The Crucible,

but... I read it a long time back.

Do you remember the name? No.

So, let's put our heads together.

So, we're going to leave A-to-D as is.

We're going to change F from true to false. I think so.

And what are we going to do with E?

Scandinavian. Dig deep for me, Val. I don't know.

I'm feeling like we should change that one from false to true.

Let's do it. Let's change E and F.

So, E we'd like to change from false to true.

E changes from false to true.

And F we'd like to change from true to false.

And F from true to false.

And lock the rest in? Yes, please.

Lock the rest in. There you go.

So, your answers are now locked in. ?7,000 at stake.

?4,000 to Lucy. ?3,000 to Val.

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

Let's start with the ones you've changed.

Let's deal with that straight away, shall we?

F...

Now, Lucy had true.

Val came down, had a chat about it.

In the end, you decided you were going to change this over,

so you said false. True or false?

It is false.

Well done, Val. Willy Loman is in Death of a Salesman. So...

E...

Lucy, you thought that it might be false,

but Val thought that he was certainly Nordic.

Whether he was Norwegian or Swedish, he wasn't sure.

In the end, you decided to change it to true. Is that true or false?

It's true. Yes!

There you go. So, Lucy, you know that

if Val hadn't have come down and joined you,

you would have been out at this stage,

but you are very much in with a shout.

D...

You originally said this was false.

Val came down and said that she thought that

the seat of the Dukes of Devonshire is... Chatsworth.

Chatsworth, you thought.

So, is it true or false?

It is false. Very well played.

It's the seat of the Marquess of Bath, in actual fact.

Yeah.

So, here you are, halfway to the money.

You've changed two and that's worked out very well for you.

You're onto the next one, C.

This is the one that you said, Lucy, that you were most confident about.

You decided in the end it was false.

Is that true or false?

It is false.

And it is from Are You Being Served?

Well, well, well. Four out of six.

So, now we come to the other two that you discussed.

B...

You said this was false but you remembered

that there was a German Pope.

Was it the outgoing Pope, the incoming Pope...? We didn't know.

Should you have changed it?

In the end, you decided to stick with false.

You didn't change it.

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

It's true.

Oh! Oh, so close. It's true.

I brought you down and you didn't win. Oh, don't worry.

Sadly, that means you haven't achieved Perfection

and you won't be going home with the money.

Can you still achieve Perfection at home?

Let's have a look at the final statement.

A...

Lucy, you thought this wasn't true.

Val, you came down and said you didn't think Greece was

part of the Roman Empire, so you said false.

Is it true or false?

It's true, I'm afraid.

Greece was once part of the Roman Empire.

You picked those two for me at the beginning. Sorry.

Usual Suspects, the prize fund rolls over for you in the next game,

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

Lucy and Val, I'm afraid you failed to achieve Perfection,

which means that you go home with nothing other than our thanks

for being great contestants. Let's hear it for Lucy and Val, please.

Well, 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 ?8,000.

But remember, on this show, we only pay for Perfection. Goodbye.
