Episode 28 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz that demands nothing less than perfection.

Behind are four contestants hoping their knowledge is flawless

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

APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome to Perfection, the quiz show where only perfect play

is good enough. Behind me are the contestants.

We call them The Usual Suspects.

They're in our isolation room. In a moment, we'll find out which one

of them has been randomly selected to join me here to play Perfection.

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

For example, if I said...

Would you say that's true or false?

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

Answering true or false might seem easy but if the contestant

gets a single answer wrong their opponents, The Usual Suspects,

will be allowed into the game to capitalise on their mistakes.

So, you know how the game works, let's meet The Usual Suspects.

Hello, my name is Allan. I'm from Ayr. I'm a retired

operations manager and this is

my first game.

Hi. I'm Mike, I'm from Shoreham-by-Sea.

I'm a mortgage broker and this is my second game.

Hi, my name is Delphine, I'm from Highbridge in Somerset.

I'm a retired clerical assistant and this is my third game.

Hello, I'm Linda. I come from Paisley and I'm a retired

head teacher and this is my fifth game.

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

of you has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Delphine, it's you. Please come down and play.

APPLAUSE

Delphine, welcome to the game. I've been trying to put my finger on your accent.

I was born in London then I went to Northern Ireland to live

-and then I ran away from Northern Ireland to get married.

-You ran away?

-Uh-huh, yeah.

-Eloped?

-Yeah.

-That's very exciting.

-I know. That was many, many years ago

-and I'm still with him.

-You're still with him, as well?

-Uh-huh. I only knew him three months.

-You're a terror, you, aren't you?

-I know, yeah.

-LAUGHTER

-OK, we'd better get on rather than reminiscing.

It's now you versus The Usual Suspects. They were your

team-mates, now your enemies. Their job is to stop you

from wining the prize fund because failure means it

rolls over to the next game where one of them could be

sitting here playing for more cash. Every game is worth £1,000.

Here's the good news - nobody's won the last two games

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

APPLAUSE

Lovely little pot of cash. What would you spend it on?

On a serious note - Mum died when I was quite young

and she was only 36 and she could do with a new headstone.

That will be part of it. And the other bit, I'd like to take the

family off... maybe Portugal, Center Parcs with the rest.

-OK, best of luck.

-Thank you.

-Here's how the game works -

you'll play three rounds and a final. Every round you achieve

Perfection will make the final easier, however, if your

performance is less than perfect The Usual Suspects

will have a chance to step in and steal the round, making the final

that much harder for you. More of that to come later.

Usual Suspects, 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

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

-it will be locked in.

-OK.

-Understand the rules?

-Perfect.

Then let's get started and play Perfection.

Round one - your 45 seconds start now...

And with almost half your time to spare...

-you've answered all four statements. That sounded positive.

-Half and half.

-Half and half.

Before we reveal exactly how well you've done it's time for us to bring back The Usual Suspects.

Don't forget, they'll be able to hear you.

These were the four statements and next to them are

Delphine's answers. Linda, has she achieved Perfection?

I'm not too sure about question C, I think that may be false.

-What do you think, Mike?

-D should be true.

Alan, what do you make of those answers?

I've got a funny feeling that Rembrandt was in the 1800s

which would make him a 19-century painter.

OK, Delphine, mixture of ideas there from The Usual Suspects.

You have to have answered all four statements perfectly to have

won the round, let's find out how many are correct...

-Oh!

-Congratulations, Delphine, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Well, we kind of like it if people get excited so you could show

some enthusiasm(!)

LAUGHTER

-That's very well played.

-Well, what can you say?

Let's have a look through those in more detail, shall we?

Rembrandt was born in 1606. Makes him a 17th-century painter.

It's a cage used to protect electrical equipment

-against electric fields.

-Yeah.

It's where the US Open Tennis Championships are held.

As a result of that perfect performance

you've made winning the prize fund that bit easier

and here's how - appearing before you is your final board...

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

Here are your final round category options

appearing before you...

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

two categories to add to the board, if

The Usual Suspects had won the round they'd be choosing two,

trying to make life more difficult for you.

So, you get the choice. Which two would you like?

-As I like the odd gin and tonic...

-Uh-hm.

I think I'd better go for Cocktails.

Cocktails goes into the final.

And as I like Soaps, I'd better go for that.

Soaps goes in as well, lovely. Usual Suspects, you didn't get a

look in there, did you? She's on fire, down here.

I wonder whether you'll get a look in in round two.

That's where we'll see you next, cheerio.

-Pick me two that you'd like to avoid.

-Chick Lit.

Chick Lit and...?

-Oh, Lara Croft.

-And a couple that you'll be choosing next...?

-Maybe Singers?

-Singers...

And, most probably, maybe Animated Films?

All right, smashing. Delphine, you've made a great start to

the game, are you ready to play on?

-I am, indeed, Nick.

-Then, let's play Round 2...

Your 45 seconds start now...

Also known as Fiddy Cent.

-Oh, God knows. Er...true.

-True.

Erm... south bank...

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

-How do you feel that went?

-Mmm, not that confident.

-You didn't look as confident, to be honest.

-No.

Before we reveal how well you've done, it's time for us

to bring back The Usual Suspects again.

So, these were the four statements and next to them

are Delphine's answers. How do you

think she's done this time, Mike?

B, Slim Shady was an alter ego

used by Eminem,

so I changed that true to false.

The second one I think she's got wrong is the Tower of London

isn't on the South Bank so I changed that from true to false.

Allan, what do you make of those answers?

I agree with Mike but I also think that A needs to be changed from false

to true because Blenheim Palace is

the seat of the Duke of Marlborough.

-Linda?

-Question D, that may be one

that has to go from false to true.

If all the Usual Suspects are right you haven't got a single one.

I haven't got a hope in hell, have I?

-They covered them all between them!

-Yes!

Let's take a look, shall we? The moment of truth.

-Let's see how many are correct.

-Not many.

Told you! AUDIENCE GROANS

I had a funny feeling.

I had that feeling.

Delphine, that was a long way from Perfection.

Well, they say after the Lord Mayor's Show comes the dung cart.

That's very true.

If you had just got one statement correct, the Usual Suspects

would have to find the missing answers to win the round.

However, Usual Suspects there's no point asking you to change

the answers because we know, obviously, that all four are wrong.

You automatically win the round.

Let's fill in the Usual Suspects' answers,

which are the exact opposite

of Delphine's.

Usual Suspects, by default,

you have achieved Perfection.

Congratulations.

APPLAUSE

Let's go through those statements and answers in a bit more detail.

The Duke of Marlborough won the Battle of Blenheim.

You said this was false and of course it was...

true, as suggested by Allan, in fact.

Slim Shady is an alter ego used by the rapper 50 Cent.

This is of course...

false, and it was Mike who told us that it is the alter ego of Eminem.

The Tower of London is on the Thames' south bank. This is...

false. It's on the other side of the river.

And Carlos Acosta is a leading ballet dancer.

You said this was false, but in actual fact it is...

true, as Linda thought it might be.

So between them, they were right and I'm afraid, sadly, Delphine,

you were wrong. The Usual Suspects now have the opportunity to

make your chances of winning the prize fund of £3,000 much harder.

Let's see the final board.

Currently occupied by two categories

chosen by you, Delphine,

but because they won that round

they have the right to choose

the next two categories, so,

Usual Suspects, which two would you like?

I'm wondering, would she know much about tobogganing?

ALLAN: That was the one that stood out for me.

-Would you be happy with that, Mike?

-Yeah, let's go with Tobogganing.

We'll put Tobogganing across as one, please, Nick.

-Tobogganing goes into the final.

-Suggestions for the second one?

-I wonder if she knows much about singers.

-Singers, yeah.

-You happy with that, Allan?

-Yeah. Or Fish.

We'll go with Singers, thank you.

We'll move Singers across, Nick.

Singers goes into the final.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

you won the second round.

Time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round 3.

-They've done you a favour there.

-Well, with tobogganing,

I don't think they realised I was an Olympic medallist on that once.

-Were you?

-Yeah.

-I had no idea they did that in Northern Ireland.

And Singers? You were going to

choose that yourself, weren't you?

And then Tobogganing, who knows?

You have one more chance to find Perfection

and choose your own categories for the final.

-Don't worry about that second round.

-That's gone.

Gone, finished, forgotten about. It's time to play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-False.

-False.

-True.

-True. I've never seen it so that's just a guess.

-Did that feel like a good round?

-50-50.

-Really? A bit in the middle?

Before we reveal how well you've done, it's time for us

to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

We'll start with you, Allan.

Certainly D is wrong

-because it's Jason Statham in the Transporter series.

-Mike?

-Mike?

-I agree with Allan.

The last one I'd change from true to false, Nick.

Linda, can you see anything wrong with those answers?

I'm not sure about her question to answer A.

I might be inclined to change that from true to false.

All right, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four perfectly to win the round.

Let's see how many are correct.

50-50.

Which means that you've let

your enemies, the Usual Suspects,

into the game. Can you steal the round? You see Delphine's answers.

You need to change two of them.

-Which two, though?

-D definitely...

We're going to change D from true to false.

D, true to false.

I agree with you on A as well.

Two of us are focused on question A being wrong,

so we'll be democratic and change the answer from true to false.

A changes from true to false,

leaving B and C as answered by Delphine.

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

Manchester is north of Moscow. Is that true or false?

It's false. Very well done.

Victoria Pendleton won a gold medal at London 2012 -

is that true or false?

Yeah, that's true.

Marsala wine comes from Sardinia - true or false?

False. It's named after the city of Marsala in Sicily.

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

The Transporter series of films stars Jude Law - true or false?

False. Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

And you're quite right, Allan,

Jason Statham is the star of the Transporter series of films.

So, Delphine, the Usual Suspects have nicked the round from you.

-Again!

-And as a result, Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to

make Delphine's chances of winning the prize harder in the final.

Let's see the final board. It's a half-and-half board at the moment.

Two categories chosen by Delphine,

two by yourselves.

But because you won the last round,

Usual Suspects choose the last two.

Which two would you like?

Shall we go with Fish since we all thought that the last time?

-What do you think, gents?

-Why not?

We are going to move Fish across, please, Nick.

-Fish goes into the final.

-Languages.

We'll go for Languages, Nick.

Languages goes into the final.

Thank you very much. We now know our

final six categories. They are...

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

Are you in with a chance, do you think?

If I leave with nothing I've enjoyed every minute.

It'd be nice to walk away with £3,000, though.

I'd like that too but that's a bonus on top of it all.

-It's the cherry on the cake.

-The cherry on the cake.

Well, let's try and get you the cherry on the cake.

Delphine, for £3,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

Delphine, this is the all-important final.

If you achieve Perfection you could be leaving with £3,000.

If you fail, you will leave with nothing, which will be great news

for the Usual Suspects as one of them could be

playing for a rollover of £4,000 on the next game.

-And you wouldn't want that to happen, would you?

-No!

So, let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Delphine, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six

statements correctly

if you want to win the £3,000.

Think carefully. There is no time limit,

but once you've given an answer,

your first answer, I have to lock it in.

-Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-Then let's reveal your first statement.

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

Cocktails.

-True.

-True.

Soaps.

-True.

-True.

Tobogganing.

-False.

-False.

Singers.

-True.

-True.

Fish.

-False.

-False.

And finally, Languages.

-I'd say...false.

-False.

-Uh-huh.

And all six answers are locked in.

If there is one mistake you leave with nothing,

so which ones are you worried about?

I'm worried about the last one, F,

and I'm worried about the Cresta Run.

-So C and F are the ones that are troubling you.

-Yeah.

All right, let's bring back the Usual Suspects

and see what they have to say.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and next to them are Delphine's answers.

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

But if you think you made a mistake you can unlock the board

with the help of the Usual Suspects, at a cost.

Usual Suspects, I'm now going to ask you how well you think Delphine

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

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

-Allan.

I know you've got at least one wrong, maybe two,

and some of them I have no idea what the correct answer is.

-I couldn't take any kind of risk on those.

-Mike?

There's two or three I'm not confident with myself.

So I'm not going to come down on this game, but good luck.

-Mike's not going to join in.

-Linda?

-I think you have one wrong.

However, there are two that I am really unsure of, and because of

that I'm afraid I'm sorry, I won't be able to come down and help you.

When you got your round absolutely right,

they thought you'd made mistakes then.

So you may be in with a chance on your own.

None of the Usual Suspects are willing to help,

-so you are on your own.

-Right.

£3,000 at stake, six answers away, let's see

if you've achieved Perfection.

Where shall we start?

Well, to be honest, you were worried about F and C,

so let's start with F and either put you out of your misery

-or make you a very happy person.

-Put me out of my misery.

The Amharic character language is native to India. You said this was false.

We'd like this to turn red for you to get you off to a good start.

The Amharic language is native to India - true or false?

False. Very well done.

APPLAUSE

It's native to Ethiopia, in fact. Let's move up.

Albacore and yellowfin are types of shark.

You seemed confident when you said false. Because?

-Tuna.

-You think it's tuna. So we need this to turn red.

Is it true or false?

-It's false. Very well done.

-APPLAUSE

And you're absolutely right, it is tuna. That's good.

Sharleen Spiteri found fame in the band Texas.

If you're right about this, you're halfway to the cash all on your own.

So we need to know if this is true or false. We'd like it to turn green.

Is it true or false?

-It is true.

-APPLAUSE

So let's press on and see whether you can make it four out of four.

The Cresta run is in St Moritz. You said this was false.

We need this to turn red to put you just two away from the £3,000.

The Cresta run is in St Moritz, true or false?

-Ohhh!

-It's true.

-And with all those years in the tobogganing team as well!

-I know!

-The memory goes after a while, doesn't?

-A senior moment.

So I'm afraid it means you haven't achieved Perfection

-and you're not going home with the cash.

-Never mind.

Maybe you can still achieve Perfection at home

and let's find out how well you did.

Helen Flanagan has appeared in Coronation Street, true or false?

It's true.

Four out of five so far.

And the main spirit in a Cosmopolitan is bourbon, true or false?

-I afraid that's false.

-Oh!

-Vodka and Cointreau.

-I like Cointreau too.

LAUGHTER

But it's not bourbon, I'm afraid.

Usual Suspects, that's great news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game

where one of you could be playing for a total of £4,000.

APPLAUSE

Delphine, you failed to achieve Perfection,

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

-Did you enjoy yourself?

-Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

-You changed! Oh, you've taken your glasses off.

-Sorry!

No, it's all right, I just wondered what had changed.

-I turn around and you look completely different.

-You look different too.

-LAUGHTER

-Let's hear it for Delphine, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you! APPLAUSE

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

Perfection today.

-New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

-Hi. My name is Emily.

I come from Neath in South Wales and I am a sports therapist.

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

which one of you has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

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

APPLAUSE

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

-You're working in sports physio, is that right?

-Yes, that's correct.

I work with a rugby team, so on Saturday I go on the pitch line.

What is it in the magic sponge that repairs people so well?

People look like they are going to be carried off and all of a sudden,

-magic sponge...

-Magic sponge.

Do the guys just want a little bit of "There, there"?

-Yeah, I think so.

-Let's press on, shall we?

It's you versus Usual Suspects, once your team-mates, now your enemies.

Their job is to stop you winning the prize fund

because your failure will be mean the prize money rolls over to the

next game, where one of them could be here playing for more cash.

Nobody won the last three games,

so the prize fund currently stands at £4,000.

APPLAUSE

-That kind of money would be quite handy, I would have thought.

-Yes.

What would you spend it on?

I would like to set up my own business as a sports injury clinic.

So some of it would go towards that,

and if I got some money left over I'd love to go travelling.

-Got anywhere in mind you want to go?

-I'd love to go to Australia.

-I can understand that.

-Yeah.

Three rounds and a final to come. Usual Suspects,

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

But as soon as Emily makes a mistake you'll be back in the game.

-Ready?

-Ready.

-Shall we get started?

-Yeah.

-Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round one. Your 45 seconds starts now.

-I don't believe that to be true so I would say false.

-False.

-I would say true for that one.

-True.

-I agree, I say true.

-True.

-True.

-True. And with time to spare,

you've answered all four statements.

-That felt quite positive.

-Yeah, not too bad.

Not too sure about the bakery one.

OK, before we reveal how well you've done, it's time for us

to bring back the Usual Suspects.

These are the four statements, next to them are Emily's answers.

Let's start with you, Linda. Has she achieved Perfection?

I would be inclined to change B from true to false.

Allan, what do you make of those answers?

You know that bakery-sliced bread being banned in the USA is

-bizarre enough to be true.

-Mike, what do you think?

Um, I'm not sure that D is correct.

I've never heard the powering of the sun referred to

as a nuclear process.

Well, if you took notice of the Usual Suspects,

they believe you got very little right. It's the moment of truth.

You need to have answered the statements perfectly

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

Three out of four's not a bad score.

Certainly not as bad as the Usual Suspects were making out.

But it isn't Perfection, which means you have let them into the game.

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

You need to change just one, but which one?

Well, MI6 is the Secret Intelligence Service,

the sun is powered by nuclear fission -

two hydrogen atoms make a helium atom, that's the process.

Sean Connery has won an Oscar for the Untouchables.

-Right, so we go A.

-Yeah.

-Right, OK.

In that case, we're going to change question A from false to true.

A changes from false to true, leaving B, C and D

as answered by Emily.

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

If the statement turns green it's true. If it turns red it's false.

Bakery sliced bread was once banned in the USA - is that true or false?

Amazingly, it is true.

It was for a period in 1943. Allegedly to preserve the wax paper.

Sean Connery has won an Oscar - true or false?

Yes, it is true.

He won it for Best Supporting Actor in The Untouchables.

Very good, Allan.

MI6's official name is the Secret Intelligence Service -

true or false?

Absolutely true.

The sun is powered but the nuclear fusion process - true of false?

It is true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

That's bad news for you, Emily, as they've managed to succeed where you failed.

So they've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Emily's

chance of winning the prize fun much harder in the Final.

And here's how. Emily, this is your Final board.

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

Here are your Final Round category options.

Starting with Camels, running through Science

and on to Famous Italians, with many more in between.

Now, because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you,

they get to choose the two categories,

hoping to make the Final that much harder for you.

So which two would you like, Usual Suspects?

Either World War II or Famous Italians.

-Have you anything else you'd like to throw into the mix?

-Camels.

-Horrible things.

-Camels, right.

-Horrible beasts.

-I'd go with you with World War II I think.

-OK, World War II.

We'll move World War II across please, Nick.

World War II goes across. And...?

-I don't know.

-I would go Pasta.

-You happy with Pasta, Allan?

-Yeah. Why not.

-Right, OK. We'll move Pasta across as well, please.

And Pasta goes across.

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

It's time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round 2.

I'm slightly worried about what he's got against camels.

-He seemed very upset about camels, didn't he?

-Didn't like camels.

Let's talk about the two they did choose. World War II?

Um, depending on what type of questions,

I might know them from history lessons.

-Pasta?

-Not too bad on pasta, I don't think.

-OK.

-Don't think.

-Let's look at the list over there.

Pick me a couple that you will be choosing if you get the opportunity.

-Wildlife. Hit Singles as well.

-And ones you'd be keen to avoid?

Rivers. And Football.

All right, Emily, it's only the first round.

You still have two more rounds to find Perfection

-so that you can choose your own categories to the Final.

-OK.

-Happy to get going?

-Yep. Ready.

-Let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-I'd say that was true.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-I would say that to be true.

-True.

I would say that was false.

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

-How was that?

-Not very good.

-You not sure?

-No.

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 Emily's answers. Mike, has she achieved Perfection?

I would say Ben Nevis is in Scotland, not in the Lake District.

And also, The West Wing, it wasn't a hospital drama.

So I would change that from true to false.

What do you think, Allan?

-I agree with Mike on both these.

-Linda?

I would agree Ben Nevis is in Scotland

and The West Wing is set in the White House.

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

Just two out of four. Pretty much as predicted by the Usual Suspects.

You failed to achieve Perfection,

which means you've let your enemies in on the game.

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

You need to change two.

I don't think this is going to be a long discussion.

Which two would you like to change?

-I think we'll change A and B.

-I think that sounds good.

-Yep.

Change A from true to false. And B from true to false.

A changes from true to false. B changes from true to false.

Leaving C and D as answered by Emily.

All right, let's find out what the correct answers are.

Ben Nevis is in the Lake District - true or false?

Yeah, it's false.

It is part of the Grampian mountain range in Scotland.

The West Wing was a US hospital drama - true or false?

False. It was actually set in the White House.

Quinoa is a foodstuff originating in South America - true or false?

Yep, that's true.

And Heligoland is a theme park in Copenhagen - true or false?

That's false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Heligoland is a pair of German islands,

about 30 miles from the German mainland.

So, Emily, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed.

And they've stolen the round.

You now have the opportunity, Usual Suspects, to make Emily's

chances of winning the prize fund of £4,000 that little bit harder.

Let's see the board again.

Two subject categories on there, chosen by the Usual Suspects.

And because you won that round, you get to add the next two as well.

So which two would you like her to play?

Should we put Camels in then, since that's seeming a wee bit obscure?

-Yeah, put Camels in.

-OK, we'll move Camels across please, Nick.

Put Camels in. Can I just stop for a second there?

Allan, you seem to be very upset with camels in general.

Have you had a nasty incident with a camel?

They're horrible beasts. They spit and bite you.

I was fascinated by your dislike there.

Anyway, carry on, Usual Suspects.

-Right, what do you think? Maybe Famous Italians?

-Famous Italians.

-What do you think, Mike?

-Yeah. Famous Italians sounds good.

OK, we'll move Famous Italians across as well, please.

Famous Italians goes into the Final. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have won the second round, as well as the first.

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

Know anything about camels?

Got two humps, some of them.

LAUGHTER

Famous Italians?

Not too bad. I don't think.

You still have one more chance to find Perfection and choose

two of your own categories for the Final.

-Yep.

-Lovely. Let's play Round 3.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I would say that to be true.

I don't think it was 40 years.

-I would say false for that one.

-False.

-I would say that's true.

-True. And finally...

-I've got no idea, but I would say true.

-True.

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

-That sounded a lot more positive. No?

-No.

OK, 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.

Next to them are Emily's answers. Allan, how's she done this time?

I think she's done pretty well.

I think she might be very close to Perfection.

Mike, can you see anything wrong with those answers?

Yeah, I'd have to disagree. I think she's got D wrong.

It was Phil Oakey that was in the Human League, not Gary Numan.

-Linda?

-Gary Numan wasn't in the Human League.

I would change the last answer.

They think you might have made a mistake here.

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 isn't a bad score. But it's not Perfection.

And once again you've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Can you steal the round? You need to change just one answer.

-I think we're changing D.

-D.

-Yeah.

I think we'll change answer D to false.

D from true to false.

Leaving A, B and C as answered by Emily.

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

In tailoring, raglan is a kind of sleeve - true of false?

Yes, it is true.

Mary, Queen of Scots was held prisoner for 40 years -

true or false?

Yeah, that's false. She was held prisoner for almost 19 years.

But certainly not 40.

Electrum is an alloy of gold and silver - true or false?

Yep, that's true.

Gary Numan was once in the Human League - true or false?

It's false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved Perfection again.

APPLAUSE

Gary Numan wasn't in the Human League, it was Phil Oakey actually.

Emily, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed.

-I'm afraid they nicked the round again.

-I know. I know.

They're about to make things as difficult as they can be

for winning the prize fund. Let's have a look at the board.

First four subject categories all chosen by the Usual Suspects.

You get to complete Emily's pain now by choosing the last two as well.

-Wildlife was one that had come out at me.

-Yeah.

-Right, OK.

We're going to move Wildlife across please, Nick.

-Wildlife goes into the Final. And?

-What about the last one?

-Donald Duck?

I'm thinking Donald Duck is a bit of a wild card.

Right, OK. We're going to go for Donald Duck.

Donald Duck goes into the Final.

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

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

-What do you think?

-Bit of a mixture, isn't it?

-You were going to choose Wildlife yourself.

-Yeah.

So they've done you a bit of a favour there. And Donald Duck.

-Watched him a bit when I was younger but not too good.

-Who knows?

-Who knows?

-Emily, for £4,000, it's time to play the Final.

APPLAUSE

There's £4,000 on offer here.

-That's going to be a very handy sum of money for you, isn't it?

-Yep.

All right. This is the all-important final.

If you can achieve perfection, you'll be winning that £4,000.

If you fail, you'll leave with nothing,

which will be great news for the Usual Suspects,

cos they'll be playing for a rollover of £5,000 on the next game.

-OK.

-Let's play the final round.

Emily, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly.

If you want to win the £4,000. Think carefully. There's no time limit,

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

it'll be locked in.

-Ready?

-Yep.

Let's reveal your first statement.

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

-OK.

World War II.

-I would say that one to be true, bouncing bomb.

-True?

Yep, go with true.

Pasta.

Tortellini...

I would say that to be false.

False.

Camels.

Dromedary...

I would say that to be true.

-True.

-True.

Famous Italians.

I would say that to be true.

True.

Wildlife.

Boomslang...

It's a bit of a wacky name. I would say...

-true with that one.

-True.

And finally, Donald Duck.

I'd say that to be true.

-True.

-Yep.

And with that, all six statements and answers are locked in.

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

-Which ones are you worried about?

-E and B.

-E and B are the ones you're worried about?

-Yep.

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

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and next to them are Emily's answers.

Your answers are now locked in.

You can't change them by yourself, but if you think you made a mistake,

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

This will, however, come at a cost.

Emily, who would you like to hear from first?

I'd like to hear from Linda first, please.

I don't have enough confidence in my own knowledge to come down

and help you, so I'm going to rule myself out.

-I'm sorry and I wish you luck.

-OK, no worries.

-Mike?

-Hi, Emily, How do you think you've done with the questions?

I'm pretty confident. I think I've got four right.

I think I've got three or four that I think are right,

so I'd be tempted to come down and see

if we can win some money together.

And how much will you require for that, Mike?

£4,000 in the pot - how much of it do you want?

To come to the party, I'd want £2,500.

-So he'd like £2,500 of your £4,000.

-No, 50/50.

I would say go to Allan first, let me have a think about it.

-OK.

-Interesting.

-Allan?

Unfortunately, there are a couple of questions there

that I really don't know the answer to.

You could be right and you could be wrong in my eyes.

I think you should go back to Mike.

Mike?

When you said you've got four you believe are right,

how confident would you be on those four?

Yeah, very confident.

-OK, let's have a go, 50/50. Let's see if we can get all six right.

-OK.

-You're happy with that as a negotiation?

-Yep!

Absolutely, so, Mike, seems negotiations are over,

if you're prepared to accept £2,000 of the £4,000. Is that right?

-That's correct, yes.

-Then please come down and join us.

APPLAUSE

OK, Emily, you've asked Mike for help.

If you achieve Perfection,

it'll cost you £2,000 of your £4,000 prize fund.

Mike, 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.

Here are the final round statements.

They are now unlocked, all six of them.

-Say hello, and discuss what you want to change.

-Hi.

-Hello.

-You OK?

-Yes, all good.

-Good, good.

Which ones are you confident with?

-Donald Duck, Huey, Dewey and Louie.

-Right.

-I would say the snake one.

-OK.

Sounds like an Australian one.

Camel, for some reason, I just believe they have only got one hump.

-OK.

-And I do believe the bouncing bomb one.

-What would you think about the film director?

-I think that's true.

-True?

I think you've done very well.

The only one I had a question in my mind

I was hoping you were going to be confident of was the tortellini.

Do you want to change that one to true?

We've got linguine that's small strands of pasta,

little strands, so I don't know whether that's the connection.

If I was going to change anything, I would change B to true.

-Go on, then.

-Are you all right with that?

-Yep.

-You'd like to change B from false to true?

-Yes, please.

-Are you going to leave them all the same now?

-Yes, please.

All right, well, your answers are now locked in. £4,000 at stake.

£2,000 to you, Emily, £2,000 to Mike. Six answers away.

Let's find out if you achieved Perfection.

Let's start at the top and make our way through, shall we?

HE READS QUESTION A

Emily, you thought this was true. Mike was happy to stick with that.

You thought it was true as well.

So we need this to turn green to get you off to a good start.

Question A, is that true or false?

It is true, very well done.

APPLAUSE

This next one is the only one you changed,

so I think it would be more interesting

to come back to that one, rather than deal with it straightaway.

Let's go onto C...

You decided that this was true.

Mike had no reason to disagree with you.

Maybe this is one that you should have changed.

Question C, is that true or false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

So we come to the famous film director.

HE READS QUESTION D

Emily, you said this was true straightaway.

You had a brief discussion with Mike about it.

He was happy to stick with true, so you stuck with true.

If this turns green, you are halfway to the £2,000 each,

the £4,000 prize.

Question D, is that true or false?

It is true.

APPLAUSE

Let's press on, shall we? Next one is about the snake.

The boomslang is a large, venomous snake,

you said possibly from Australia or somewhere like that.

You said true, Mike was happy to stick with true,

again on this, with you.

Could it be that we have another one turning green

and a fourth correct answer in a row, or is this where you trip up?

Question E, is that true or false?

It is true.

APPLAUSE

It's up to two metres long

and it's found in sub-Saharan Africa, in actual fact.

Wow, only two away from the money.

So we come to F...

You said true.

Mike came down to ask you and you confirmed you were happy with this.

Of course, if it's the wrong names,

it will turn red,

and, again, the money will roll over for the Usual Suspects.

However, if it turns green,

it will put you just one away from the £4,000.

HE READS QUESTION F

You need this to turn green.

Is it true or false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

So here we go.

We go back to B, which is the only one that you changed.

Now, in a board where you said true all the way through,

this was your only answer where you said false.

What are the chances of it being an all-green board?

However, Mike came down to talk to you about it,

and after much discussion,

you decided that you were going to change this from false to true.

If this turns green,

it's an all-true board...

..and you walk away with £2,000 each.

And it means you needed Mike to get you to the money.

However, if it turns red,

the money rolls over for the Usual Suspects and, effectively,

Mike has come down and lost you the money.

So it all rests on this one answer.

HE READS QUESTION B

You need this to turn green.

Is it true or false

for £4,000?

-It's false.

-AUDIENCE GROANS

It's false and I have to point out the obvious, here.

Essentially, you changed away from the correct answer

to the wrong answer.

Linguine is the Italian for "little tongues"

and you actually talked about it before you made the decision.

Emily, you had an all-correct board,

which, if you'd gone on your own, you would have won £4,000.

Terrible news for you. Usual Suspects, great news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game,

where one of you could be playing for a total of £5,000.

APPLAUSE

Were you surprised by that,

or did you have your suspicions about that one?

I thought tortellini might mean "little cakes".

I know that "torte" means "cake" in another language,

but I wasn't secure enough to come down.

-Tortellini actually means "little cakes".

-Does it?

-Yeah.

I had no idea about what it meant, but I knew the camel one.

-I knew that one.

-LAUGHTER

Listen, it's really tough.

Unfortunately, you don't leave with the cash

because you failed to achieve Perfection,

but you do go with our thanks for being brave and good players.

Mike and Emily, everybody.

APPLAUSE

That's all we have time for.

Please join us again next time when our Usual Suspects

have the chance to play again, this time for £5,000,

but remember, on this show,

we only pay for absolute Perfection. Goodbye.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
