Welcome to the quiz that demands perfection.

0:00:020:00:04

Four contestants will be hoping their knowledge is flawless.

0:00:040:00:07

One single mistake could give the game away.

0:00:070:00:09

This is Perfection.

0:00:090:00:11

APPLAUSE

0:00:190:00:21

Welcome to Perfection, the quiz where only perfect play is good enough.

0:00:240:00:28

Behind me are the contestants, the Usual Suspects, in our isolation room.

0:00:280:00:32

In a moment, we'll find out who's been randomly selected to join me to play Perfection.

0:00:320:00:37

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

0:00:370:00:41

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

0:00:440:00:47

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

0:00:470:00:50

Answering true or false might seem easy,

0:00:500:00:52

but if a contestant gets an answer wrong,

0:00:520:00:54

the Usual Suspects will be allowed to capitalise on their mistake.

0:00:540:00:58

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

0:00:580:01:02

Hello, I'm David. I'm from Arnold in Nottingham.

0:01:020:01:05

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

0:01:050:01:07

Hello. I'm Jane. I'm from Nuneaton in Warwickshire.

0:01:070:01:10

I'm a retired auxiliary nurse and this is my first game.

0:01:100:01:13

Hello. I'm Allan. I'm from Ayr.

0:01:130:01:16

I'm a retired operations manager and this is my third game.

0:01:160:01:19

Hello. I'm Linda. I come from Paisley.

0:01:190:01:22

I'm a retired head teacher and this is my seventh game.

0:01:220:01:26

Welcome to you all.

0:01:260:01:28

We now find out who's been randomly picked to play Perfection.

0:01:280:01:31

-Linda, please come and join me!

-APPLAUSE

0:01:350:01:38

-Linda, welcome to the game. Pleased to be down here?

-Yes, finally.

0:01:400:01:44

-Felt like you've done enough time up there?

-Absolutely.

0:01:440:01:47

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

0:01:470:01:51

Their job is to stop you from winning because the prize fund rolls over to the next game,

0:01:510:01:55

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

0:01:550:01:58

Every game is worth £1,000. Here's the good news.

0:01:580:02:01

Nobody's won the last four games, so the prize fund stands at £5,000.

0:02:010:02:07

APPLAUSE

0:02:070:02:10

That's got to be handy. What would you spend it on?

0:02:100:02:13

Well, my son has gone to live and work in New Zealand.

0:02:130:02:16

He went there in March and I would quite like to go and visit him.

0:02:160:02:21

If I had to pick one place in the entire world as the prettiest, I would have to say New Zealand.

0:02:210:02:26

Here's how the game works. You play three rounds, then a final.

0:02:260:02:30

Every round you achieve perfection makes the final easier for you.

0:02:300:02:32

If your performance is less than perfect, the Usual Suspects have a chance to steal the round,

0:02:320:02:37

making the final harder for you.

0:02:370:02:39

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

0:02:390:02:45

Each round consists of four true or false statements against the clock.

0:02:450:02:48

You'll have 45 seconds and your first answer will be locked in.

0:02:480:02:53

-Are you ready?

-Yes, I'm ready.

-Then let's play Perfection.

0:02:530:02:56

Round 1, your 45 seconds start now...

0:02:590:03:02

That's true.

0:03:060:03:08

That's also true.

0:03:110:03:14

I've absolutely no idea, so I'll say false. Just a guess.

0:03:180:03:23

No, they are in West Side Story, so that's false.

0:03:270:03:31

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

0:03:310:03:34

-That seemed very confident.

-Hm. I'm not sure about Brad Barritt.

0:03:340:03:37

-I don't know anything about rugby union.

-I'm guessing even less about English rugby union.

0:03:370:03:42

Correct. LAUGHTER

0:03:420:03:45

-Although my mum was English!

-Well, there you go.

0:03:450:03:48

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

0:03:480:03:52

These are the four statements.

0:03:520:03:54

-Allan, has she achieved perfection?

-No, Nick. I don't think she has.

0:03:540:03:58

I'm pretty sure Cliff Richard was born in India,

0:03:580:04:02

and I'm sure Brad Barritt HAS played rugby for England.

0:04:020:04:06

-David, what do you think?

-I agree. Cliff Richard WAS born in India.

0:04:060:04:10

-So B would be false.

-Jane?

-Yes, I also agree with that.

-Linda, the moment of truth.

0:04:100:04:16

You need to have answered all four questions perfectly. Let's see how many are correct.

0:04:160:04:21

Ooh, dear.

0:04:230:04:25

-Certainly not perfection.

-Certainly not.

0:04:250:04:28

You've let your enemies into the game.

0:04:280:04:30

You can see the answers. You need to change three of them. Which three?

0:04:300:04:34

Cliff Richard was born in India. We'll change B from true to false.

0:04:340:04:40

-I need two others.

-Brad Barritt HAS played for England.

0:04:420:04:45

Change that from false to true.

0:04:450:04:48

The Jets and the Sharks?

0:04:500:04:52

-That's the...

-Not The Chorus Line. It's something else.

-That's... Yeah.

0:04:520:04:55

But Monte Carlo is the capital of Monaco. We'll go for D.

0:04:550:05:00

Jets and the Sharks appear in The Chorus Line. False to true.

0:05:000:05:05

-You're going to change that one?

-Yeah. Why not?

-Do you have agreement up there, by the way?

0:05:050:05:10

I know you're a nominal captain, Allan, but...

0:05:100:05:13

D changes from false to true. Let's find out the correct answers.

0:05:130:05:20

Monte Carlo is the capital of Monaco. True or false?

0:05:200:05:23

-It's false.

-AUDIENCE GROANS/LAUGHS

0:05:230:05:27

Monaco is the capital of Monaco. B, Cliff Richard...

0:05:270:05:31

-He was was, of course, born in...

-India.

-India.

0:05:360:05:40

They're rival gangs in West Side Story.

0:05:520:05:53

Usual Suspects, you had the chance to achieve perfection, but failed.

0:05:530:05:57

If you had, you'd have the opportunity of making Linda's chances much harder in the final.

0:05:570:06:02

Here's how. Linda, this is your Final Board.

0:06:020:06:06

These spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

0:06:060:06:09

Here are your Final Round category options.

0:06:090:06:12

Had you achieved perfection, you'd have the opportunity of adding two categories of your choice.

0:06:160:06:20

Because neither side won the round, the two categories will be carried over to the next round,

0:06:200:06:26

meaning four categories will be on offer.

0:06:260:06:28

Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round 2.

0:06:280:06:33

Linda, let's have a chat about those options.

0:06:330:06:37

Which two will you choose if you get the opportunity?

0:06:370:06:40

I would definitely go for Famous Songs and Schools or Shapes.

0:06:400:06:45

And a couple you'll be trying to avoid?

0:06:450:06:47

Lineker. Insects. I don't have a great knowledge on insects.

0:06:470:06:52

-OK. Ready to play on?

-Yes, I am.

-Let's play Round 2.

0:06:520:06:55

Your 45 seconds start now...

0:06:580:07:00

Never heard of sailfish.

0:07:050:07:08

100 kilometres an hour is very fast indeed.

0:07:080:07:12

I'm going say false.

0:07:120:07:14

I really don't know, so I'm going to say false.

0:07:190:07:22

False. It's a type of wood.

0:07:260:07:28

I'm going to say true for that.

0:07:400:07:42

Good use of the time there to have a long think about it.

0:07:430:07:47

Before we reveal how well you've done, time for us to bring back the Usual Suspects.

0:07:470:07:51

These are the four statements and Linda's answers.

0:07:510:07:54

-Jane, has she achieved perfection?

-I think perhaps B may be true.

0:07:540:07:59

-David?

-Sailfish can swim really fast.

0:07:590:08:03

-Over 100 kilometres an hour? I'd go for that.

-Allan, what do you think?

0:08:030:08:06

I'm afraid that I don't know much about any of them.

0:08:060:08:09

-LAUGHTER

-OK. Thank you very much.

0:08:090:08:12

Linda, the moment of truth. How many are correct?

0:08:120:08:14

A much better round than the first round, but it's not perfection.

0:08:200:08:24

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

0:08:240:08:27

You can see Linda's answers. You only need to change one. Which one?

0:08:270:08:32

Probably the sailfish one.

0:08:320:08:34

-A?

-We've got a better option?

0:08:340:08:36

No, we don't. Right. Nick, we'll change A from false to true, please.

0:08:360:08:42

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

0:08:450:08:48

They've been recorded at 109 kilometres an hour over short distances.

0:08:560:09:02

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

0:09:020:09:04

It's a British film starring James McAvoy and Mark Strong.

0:09:100:09:15

Teak is a type of wood.

0:09:190:09:21

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

0:09:270:09:31

APPLAUSE

0:09:310:09:33

Oh, dear, Linda. The Usual Suspects succeeded where you failed and they've stolen the round.

0:09:350:09:39

Usual Suspects, you have the chance to make Linda's chance of winning £5,000 much harder.

0:09:390:09:44

Let's see the Final Board. It is something of a desert.

0:09:440:09:48

You've earned the right to choose four categories,

0:09:480:09:52

two from this round and two from Round 1, so go ahead and choose.

0:09:520:09:56

-How about Lineker?

-Lineker's got to be one.

0:09:560:10:00

We'll have Lineker, please.

0:10:000:10:03

-Space?

-Yeah, try Space.

-We'll have Space.

0:10:050:10:08

US Geography? Let's go for it.

0:10:100:10:13

US Geography.

0:10:130:10:14

-One more.

-What about Insects?

0:10:160:10:18

-Yeah.

-Insects, please.

-Insects makes it into the final.

0:10:180:10:21

Congratulations, you won the second round.

0:10:230:10:25

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

0:10:250:10:29

-You didn't want Insects or Lineker.

-No. I didn't want Space either.

0:10:290:10:32

Well, you've got one more chance. Let's play Round 3.

0:10:320:10:36

APPLAUSE

0:10:360:10:37

Your 45 seconds start now.

0:10:390:10:42

False.

0:10:470:10:48

Never heard of it.

0:10:550:10:57

I'm going to say true.

0:10:570:10:59

The Hay Wain IS a painting, but I don't think it's by John Sergeant.

0:11:050:11:09

I'm going to say false.

0:11:090:11:11

I'm inclined to say that that's also false.

0:11:180:11:21

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

0:11:220:11:25

-That felt more positive.

-Mm.

-No?

-I really don't know.

0:11:250:11:28

Before we reveal how you've done, time to bring back those Usual Suspects.

0:11:280:11:33

These are the four statements and Linda's answers.

0:11:330:11:36

-David, has she achieved perfection?

-I'm not sure.

0:11:360:11:39

-B, that's the one I'm doubtful of.

-Allan?

-I agree with David.

0:11:390:11:44

I don't think rum is something you get in Romania.

0:11:440:11:47

And D - it's bizarre enough

0:11:470:11:50

that he WAS in the Royal Marines.

0:11:500:11:52

Linda, the moment of truth. You need to have answered all statements perfectly. How many are correct?

0:11:520:11:58

Three out of four's not bad, but it's not perfection again!

0:12:040:12:07

Once again, the Usual Suspects have a chance of nicking the round.

0:12:070:12:13

You need to change just one answer, but which one?

0:12:130:12:16

-Go for the stotinka.

-Yeah.

-We'll go for the rum-soaked.

0:12:160:12:20

We'll change B from true to false.

0:12:200:12:23

Let's find out what the correct answers are...

0:12:270:12:30

He was a character made up by Kenny Everett.

0:12:350:12:38

It IS false.

0:12:420:12:44

It's a monetary unit of Bulgaria.

0:12:440:12:46

The Hay Wain...

0:12:460:12:49

-Who do you think it was?

-Constable.

-John Constable. Absolutely right, Linda.

0:12:530:12:58

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

0:13:020:13:06

The presenter Dale Winton was never in the Royal Marines.

0:13:090:13:13

-Oh, dear. Linda, Usual Suspects have stolen the round again.

-Indeed.

0:13:130:13:17

They have a chance to make your chances of winning the prize fund much harder.

0:13:170:13:22

Let's have a look at the Final Board.

0:13:220:13:24

Because you won that round,

0:13:240:13:26

you've earned the right to choose the last two categories.

0:13:260:13:30

Which two would you like?

0:13:300:13:32

-Politics?

-Yeah.

0:13:320:13:34

-What do you reckon? Politics? We'll put Politics, then.

-Thank you.

0:13:340:13:39

I need one more.

0:13:410:13:43

Let's take the chance that she isn't a Rolling Stones fan.

0:13:430:13:47

OK. We'll put in Rolling Stones.

0:13:470:13:49

We know our six final categories...

0:13:500:13:53

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

0:13:590:14:02

-Politics?

-I think I'll be all right with Politics.

0:14:020:14:06

It's not one that I would have shied away from.

0:14:060:14:08

OK. So, in with a chance, then, aren't you?

0:14:080:14:11

We'll see. I'll give it my best shot.

0:14:110:14:13

Linda, for £5,000, it's time to play the final.

0:14:130:14:16

Linda, if you achieve perfection you could be leaving with a prize fund of £5,000.

0:14:190:14:25

If you fail, you'll leave with nothing.

0:14:250:14:27

Great news for the Usual Suspects, as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £6,000.

0:14:270:14:32

-Let's play the Final Round.

-APPLAUSE

0:14:320:14:35

Linda, here are your six categories.

0:14:360:14:39

You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £5,000.

0:14:390:14:43

There's no time limit, but once you've given your first answer, it's locked in.

0:14:430:14:48

-Do you understand?

-I do.

-Are you ready?

-Yes, I am.

0:14:480:14:51

Let's reveal your first statement. Lineker.

0:14:510:14:54

Don't know the answer. I do know Gary Lineker has the reputation of being a clean player.

0:14:590:15:05

Twice doesn't seem an awful lot. I'm going to say true for that one.

0:15:050:15:10

Space.

0:15:110:15:13

I followed the space race quite closely.

0:15:170:15:20

My recollection is that that wasn't in the '60s. It was a bit later.

0:15:200:15:23

I think that was in the '70s. I might be wrong.

0:15:230:15:26

I'm going to say false for that.

0:15:260:15:29

US Geography.

0:15:300:15:33

Right, well, they're up in the northern-most part of the States.

0:15:370:15:42

I know that Maine is a northern state. This is just a guess.

0:15:420:15:47

I'm going to say false, but I might regret that. False.

0:15:470:15:52

Insects.

0:15:520:15:54

Hm. It's got a Latin ring to it.

0:15:580:16:01

I'm going to say true for that.

0:16:010:16:03

Politics.

0:16:050:16:07

Yvette Cooper is the wife of Ed Balls. She's a Labour politician.

0:16:110:16:16

So that's false.

0:16:160:16:19

And finally, Rolling Stones.

0:16:200:16:23

They're both pretty old! I have seen them in concert.

0:16:260:16:30

So I can testify to that.

0:16:300:16:32

I'm going to say true for that.

0:16:320:16:35

And with that, those answers are locked in.

0:16:350:16:38

-How did it feel?

-Not too bad, actually.

0:16:380:16:41

Four out of the six I think I'm in with a shout.

0:16:410:16:44

-The shout for the other two might be "Help!"

-Which two?

0:16:440:16:48

The Gary Lineker one and the Niagara Falls one.

0:16:480:16:52

-I'm just not sure.

-A and C?

-Yeah. Geography isn't one of my strengths.

0:16:520:16:57

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

0:16:570:17:01

Usual Suspects, you can see the statements and Linda's answers.

0:17:010:17:05

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

0:17:050:17:09

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

0:17:090:17:12

This will, however, come at a cost.

0:17:120:17:14

I'm going to ask you how well you think Linda has done,

0:17:140:17:19

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

0:17:190:17:22

-Linda, who would you like to speak to first?

-David, please.

-There's one I know you've got wrong.

0:17:220:17:27

There's two or three that I'm totally unsure of.

0:17:270:17:31

-I don't think there's any way I can help you.

-OK. Thank you. Could I speak to Allan now, please?

0:17:310:17:37

Well, there are two that you've got correct.

0:17:370:17:41

There are two that I think you've got wrong

0:17:410:17:44

and two I have no idea about.

0:17:440:17:46

How confident are you?

0:17:460:17:48

I reckon I've got four right. I'm looking for help on two and there's quite a big prize fund.

0:17:480:17:55

If you're willing to come down and talk through the questions with me,

0:17:550:17:59

I'd be willing to share the prize fund 50-50.

0:17:590:18:02

There's £5,000 in the prize fund.

0:18:020:18:04

She's offering you £2,500 to join in.

0:18:040:18:07

OK. Can you talk to Jane first then come back to me?

0:18:070:18:11

-OK.

-Jane?

-I'm not sure of three of them.

0:18:110:18:15

I don't think I'd be a lot of help to you so I'll rule myself out.

0:18:150:18:20

-OK, Jane. Thanks anyway.

-So, what do we think?

0:18:200:18:23

Allan, the offer stands at £2,500 to come and talk it through.

0:18:230:18:28

-It's very tempting, I must admit.

-HE SIGHS

0:18:280:18:32

-OK, I'll come down and help you.

-Negotiations are concluded.

0:18:320:18:36

For £2,500 of the £5,000, please come and join us.

0:18:360:18:39

Linda, if you achieve perfection it will cost you £2,500 of your prize fund of £5,000.

0:18:420:18:48

Allan, you've forfeited your chance to play the game. This is your only shot at winning Perfection.

0:18:480:18:53

Have you made the right decision? We're about to find out.

0:18:530:18:55

Here are the statements.

0:18:550:18:58

The board is now open. All six answers are unlocked. Off you go.

0:18:580:19:02

Could I say that I'm pretty confident with the answer B?

0:19:020:19:06

-The space station was later.

-Yeah.

-So we'll leave that as false.

0:19:060:19:10

-The Niagara Falls, I've never been there.

-I have.

0:19:100:19:14

-They're nowhere near Maine.

-So we'll leave that.

0:19:140:19:16

I'm very confident Yvette Cooper...

0:19:160:19:19

Yes. She's Labour. She's married to Ed Balls.

0:19:190:19:21

And Ronnie Wood, I think, is older than Keith Richards.

0:19:210:19:25

Keith Richard LOOKS older.

0:19:250:19:27

-Gary Lineker was never sent off.

-I wondered about that.

0:19:270:19:30

He had the reputation for being a clean player. You'd change that?

0:19:300:19:34

I would change that from true to false. And a vespiary?

0:19:340:19:38

I've got a funny feeling that's something to do with monks.

0:19:380:19:41

-You know, I thought about vespers. People say prayers and vespers.

-Yes.

0:19:410:19:46

-Do you think we should change A...

-Definitely A.

-..and D?

0:19:460:19:49

-Definitely A.

-We'll change A.

-A changes from true to false.

0:19:490:19:53

-Any others?

-Yeah.

0:19:530:19:55

In view of the conversation we've had about the vespiary, question D,

0:19:550:19:59

we'll change that from true to false as well.

0:19:590:20:03

We'll have to hope that Ronnie Wood is older than Keith Richards.

0:20:030:20:07

-So you're happy to lock the rest in?

-Why not?

-Yeah, go for it.

0:20:070:20:12

Fingers crossed.

0:20:120:20:14

Your answers are now locked in. £5,000 at stake.

0:20:140:20:17

£2,500 for Linda. £2,500 for Allan.

0:20:170:20:21

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

0:20:210:20:25

We'll start at the top because you made a change straight away.

0:20:270:20:31

We can find out, Linda, whether it was worth having Allan join you or not.

0:20:310:20:37

"Gary Lineker was sent off twice in his pro career." You said true.

0:20:370:20:41

Allan said he was never sent off in his pro career.

0:20:410:20:43

We need this to turn red to get you under way. Is it true or false?

0:20:430:20:48

APPLAUSE Well done.

0:20:490:20:51

-He was never shown a red card or even a yellow card.

-He was a clean player.

-For his entire career.

0:20:540:20:59

That's a great start. Linda, if Allan hadn't joined you, you would have lost the money already.

0:20:590:21:06

"The Mir space station was launched in the 1960s."

0:21:060:21:08

You were confident, Linda. You thought it was later.

0:21:080:21:12

Allan agreed it was later, so we need this to turn red.

0:21:120:21:15

APPLAUSE

0:21:180:21:21

1986.

0:21:220:21:23

So, we move on to the next one. C...

0:21:230:21:26

Linda, you thought this was false. Allan agreed with you it was false.

0:21:280:21:33

Maine being a northern state, but not one that the Niagara Falls is in.

0:21:330:21:37

We need this to turn red and you are halfway to the money...

0:21:370:21:42

APPLAUSE

0:21:470:21:50

They're on the border of Ontario in Canada and New York state.

0:21:510:21:55

Halfway there. "A vespiary is a wasp's nest."

0:21:550:21:59

You said this was true, but then had a little think about it

0:21:590:22:03

and in the time it took Allan to join you, you'd changed your mind.

0:22:030:22:07

Uh-huh. I just began to think about vespers and prayers and wondered

0:22:070:22:12

if a vespiary might be a place where monks leave their robes.

0:22:120:22:17

OK. If it turns red, you are just two away from the £5,000.

0:22:170:22:22

If it turns green, the money rolls over for the Usual Suspects and you go home with nothing.

0:22:220:22:27

"A vespiary is a wasp's nest." Is that true or false?

0:22:270:22:32

AUDIENCE GROANS

0:22:350:22:38

Oh, dear. There you are.

0:22:380:22:40

"Vespiary" comes from "vespa", which is the Italian for "wasp".

0:22:400:22:44

Unfortunately, it means that you haven't achieved perfection and you won't be going home with the money.

0:22:440:22:49

Let's see if you can still achieve perfection at home.

0:22:490:22:53

"Yvette Cooper is a Conservative politician."

0:22:530:22:56

You were both convinced this was false.

0:22:560:22:58

-You think she's a Labour politician cos she's married to Ed Balls.

-Yeah.

0:22:580:23:03

She IS a Labour politician.

0:23:070:23:09

Finally, the Rolling Stones. "Ronnie Wood is older than Keith Richards."

0:23:090:23:13

You said Keith Richards LOOKS older, but probably Ronnie Wood IS older.

0:23:130:23:18

Is it true or false?

0:23:180:23:21

There we are. Well.

0:23:230:23:25

-There you go.

-Ronnie Wood is four years younger.

0:23:250:23:28

-Who'd have guessed?

-And looks about 40 years younger!

0:23:280:23:31

So, you're four for six.

0:23:310:23:33

-Oh, well.

-Sadly, it means you don't win the money.

0:23:330:23:36

Usual Suspects, the prize fund rolls over to the next game.

0:23:360:23:40

One of you could be playing for a total of £6,000.

0:23:400:23:43

APPLAUSE

0:23:430:23:45

Linda and Allan, you failed to achieve perfection and you go home with nothing other than our thanks.

0:23:460:23:52

Lovely to meet you. Let's hear it for Allan and Linda.

0:23:520:23:54

APPLAUSE

0:23:540:23:56

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

0:23:570:24:02

New Usual Suspects, please introduce yourselves.

0:24:040:24:07

My name is Sarah. I'm from Tenterden, Kent, and I'm a travel agent.

0:24:070:24:11

I'm Laura. I'm from Essex and I'm a trainee primary school teacher.

0:24:110:24:15

Good luck to all of you, as we find out who has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

0:24:150:24:21

Laura, please come down and join me.

0:24:250:24:27

Laura, welcome to the game. Let's find out more about you.

0:24:300:24:32

You're particularly unhappy with bad grammar - innit?

0:24:320:24:36

Yes. It just drives me mad. LAUGHTER

0:24:360:24:39

Bad grammar is the bane of my life. It annoys me.

0:24:390:24:42

-You're training to be a teacher?

-Yes. Primary school.

0:24:420:24:45

-That's great, to give kids a start.

-Teach them good grammar!

0:24:450:24:50

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

0:24:500:24:54

Nobody's won the last five games, which means the prize fund currently stands at £6,000.

0:24:540:25:01

APPLAUSE

0:25:010:25:03

I'm guessing, as you're starting out as a teacher, that money would come in handy.

0:25:040:25:09

Very handy. A nice holiday before I start a job would be nice.

0:25:090:25:13

Three rounds and a final to come. Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off for now,

0:25:130:25:18

but as soon as Laura makes a mistake, you will be in the game.

0:25:180:25:22

-Are you ready to start?

-Let's do it.

-Good. Let's play Perfection.

0:25:220:25:26

Round 1. Your 45 seconds start now.

0:25:280:25:31

I'm pretty sure that's true.

0:25:350:25:37

I don't know any Spanish, but...

0:25:440:25:47

I'm going to say false.

0:25:470:25:49

I know Kennedy was assassinated. I'm going to say false.

0:25:540:25:58

I think it's a girl. She's a member of the Little Mix.

0:26:040:26:06

I'm going to say that's false.

0:26:060:26:08

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

0:26:080:26:11

-How was that?

-That was fine.

-Enjoy that?

-Yeah.

0:26:110:26:13

Jolly good. It's time for us to bring back the Usual Suspects.

0:26:130:26:18

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

0:26:180:26:22

Jane, do you think she's achieved perfection?

0:26:220:26:26

I'm not sure. I know she's got A and B probably right.

0:26:260:26:30

I'm not sure about C.

0:26:300:26:32

-Sarah, can you see anything wrong?

-I think B is incorrect.

0:26:320:26:37

I think Enero may be the Spanish word for January.

0:26:370:26:41

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

0:26:410:26:45

Let's see how many are correct.

0:26:450:26:47

Three out of four is good, but it's not perfection.

0:26:520:26:55

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game. Can you steal the round?

0:26:550:27:00

You need to change just one, but which one?

0:27:000:27:03

-We know A's right.

-Perrie Edwards is in Little Mix.

0:27:030:27:08

-So you think...?

-I really have a feeling that Enero

0:27:080:27:12

might be the Spanish word for January.

0:27:120:27:15

So we need to change the President.

0:27:150:27:17

We'll change C from false to true, then, Nick.

0:27:170:27:20

Sarah said Enero IS Spanish for January.

0:27:270:27:30

I thought you might change that one. You can't change it now anyway.

0:27:300:27:34

OK. They are all set.

0:27:340:27:36

Let's find out what the correct answers are...

0:27:360:27:39

"Enero is the Spanish word for January." True or false?

0:27:440:27:48

Usual Suspects, you had the chance to steal the round, but you failed to achieve perfection.

0:27:490:27:55

Can you still achieve perfection at home...?

0:27:550:27:59

He wasn't assassinated. And Perrie Edwards...

0:28:060:28:09

She is in Little Mix.

0:28:140:28:16

Usual Suspects, you had the chance to make Laura's chance of winning the prize fund harder.

0:28:160:28:22

Here's how. Laura, this is your Final Board.

0:28:220:28:25

These blank spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

0:28:250:28:28

Here are your Final Round category options...

0:28:280:28:30

Because neither side won the round, the two categories will be carried over to the next round,

0:28:330:28:38

meaning four categories will be on offer.

0:28:380:28:40

Usual Suspects, time to switch you off. You could have done better. See you in Round 2.

0:28:400:28:46

Laura, let's have a chat about those categories.

0:28:460:28:50

Pick me a couple that you'll be choosing for yourself.

0:28:500:28:53

TV Comedy would be quite a good one.

0:28:530:28:56

Possibly 1970s Films. I watch quite a few.

0:28:560:29:00

And a couple you're keen to avoid?

0:29:000:29:03

Land Areas. I'm not very good at geography. And possibly Plants.

0:29:030:29:08

-You ready?

-I'm ready.

-You did pretty well last time.

0:29:080:29:11

You need to step it up one more. Time to play Round 2.

0:29:110:29:15

Your 45 seconds start now.

0:29:170:29:20

Um... I'm not sure about that one.

0:29:250:29:27

A couple of months were added in at some point. I'm going to say true.

0:29:270:29:32

Unless he was a little boy, I'm not sure. I think that's too old.

0:29:380:29:42

I'm going to say false.

0:29:420:29:44

I don't know a lot about sport. I'm going to go for true.

0:29:480:29:52

I think it's a curry soup. I'm going to say true.

0:29:570:30:00

You've answered all four statements.

0:30:000:30:03

-How was that?

-A bit harder than the last one.

0:30:030:30:06

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

0:30:060:30:10

These are the four statements and Laura's answers.

0:30:100:30:13

-David, has she achieved perfection?

-She's done really well.

0:30:130:30:16

-I'm not sure about B, though.

-Jane, what do you see?

0:30:160:30:19

I'm not sure about A, Nick.

0:30:190:30:22

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

0:30:220:30:26

Certainly not perfection.

0:30:290:30:32

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game. Can you steal the round?

0:30:320:30:35

You need to change three.

0:30:350:30:37

-I think D must be true.

-Mulligatawny soup's Irish.

0:30:370:30:41

I'm happy with that.

0:30:410:30:43

-So shall we change the other three?

-That's our best bet.

0:30:430:30:46

Nick, can we change A from true to false?

0:30:460:30:49

B from false to true.

0:30:500:30:52

And C from true to false.

0:30:540:30:56

Let's find out what the correct answers are...

0:30:590:31:02

There were 12 months of 30 days each.

0:31:090:31:12

Usual Suspects, you had the chance to steal the round, but you failed to achieve perfection.

0:31:190:31:24

Can YOU still achieve perfection at home? Let's clear that up.

0:31:240:31:27

He'd have only been two at the time, so you're quite right.

0:31:270:31:31

-A little too early for him to be in the film.

-Yeah.

0:31:310:31:34

Sweden hosted the summer Games, but never the Winter Olympics.

0:31:390:31:44

Originated in India.

0:31:500:31:53

So, had you achieved perfection, you'd have the opportunity

0:31:530:31:56

to make Laura's chances of winning the prize fund harder.

0:31:560:31:59

Let's look at the Final Board.

0:31:590:32:02

Despite that we've finished Round 2, no categories chosen.

0:32:020:32:05

As neither side won that round,

0:32:050:32:07

the four categories will be carried over to the next round.

0:32:070:32:11

All six categories will be on offer.

0:32:110:32:13

Usual Suspects, you've had two chances, haven't taken either.

0:32:130:32:17

I wonder whether you'll get a look in in Round 3. Cheerio.

0:32:170:32:21

-Nobody wants to win a round here!

-LAUGHING: I do!

0:32:210:32:24

-Well, this is your opportunity. You win Round 3, you choose the entire board yourself.

-Brilliant.

0:32:240:32:30

Laura, it's time to play Round 3.

0:32:300:32:33

Your 45 seconds start now.

0:32:360:32:38

Um... I'm going to say false.

0:32:420:32:45

I've not heard that at all. I'm going to say false.

0:32:510:32:55

I know nothing about cricket, but I'm going to say true.

0:32:590:33:03

I don't know if he created it. I think he's a producer or something.

0:33:070:33:12

I'm going to say false.

0:33:120:33:14

-You've answered all four. Did that feel better?

-A little bit.

0:33:140:33:18

All right. Time to bring back those Usual Suspects.

0:33:180:33:22

These are the four statements and Laura's answers.

0:33:220:33:26

Sarah, has she achieved perfection?

0:33:260:33:28

Something niggles me that A might be true.

0:33:280:33:32

-David, what do you think?

-I agree about A.

0:33:320:33:35

Queen Victoria's head appears on the Penny Black. She's got that one wrong.

0:33:350:33:39

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

0:33:390:33:43

Let's find out how many are correct.

0:33:430:33:45

The Usual Suspects are back in the game.

0:33:520:33:55

You need to change one answer, but which one.

0:33:550:33:58

-Got to be Queen Victoria.

-Are you sure on that?

-Yeah.

0:33:580:34:01

I think Julian Fellowes wrote EastEnders.

0:34:010:34:04

-I don't know sousaphone.

-A sousaphone's like a trumpet.

0:34:040:34:08

-Yes, you're right.

-So we're agreed we'll go for A?

0:34:080:34:10

OK, Nick, can we change A to true, please?

0:34:100:34:14

Let's find out what the correct answers are...

0:34:190:34:22

It is a musical instrument.

0:34:330:34:35

They're father and son.

0:34:390:34:41

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

0:34:470:34:51

EastEnders was created by Tony Holland and Julia Smith.

0:34:550:34:59

Julian Fellowes is better known for Downton Abbey.

0:34:590:35:02

Laura, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed and have won the round.

0:35:020:35:07

You now have the opportunity to make Laura's chance of winning the prize fund as hard as it can be.

0:35:070:35:13

Let's have a look at the Final Board. Still blank.

0:35:130:35:16

Because you won that round, you choose all six categories.

0:35:160:35:20

Would she know much about Hong Kong?

0:35:200:35:22

-No, possibly not.

-1970s Films as well.

-Yeah. Go for that as well.

0:35:220:35:27

Can we take 1970s Films across, please?

0:35:270:35:30

And Hong Kong.

0:35:320:35:34

Men's Singles, I'm assuming is tennis.

0:35:340:35:36

We'll take Men's Singles across as well, please.

0:35:360:35:39

Measurements might be good if it's old measurements.

0:35:400:35:43

Measurements, please.

0:35:430:35:45

TV Comedy, depends what era it is.

0:35:470:35:49

-That could be difficult for her.

-TV Comedy please, Nick.

0:35:490:35:52

-I need just one more.

-Land Areas?

0:35:520:35:55

-Are you happy with that?

-Yeah.

-And Land Areas, please.

0:35:550:35:59

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

0:35:590:36:02

Guys, time to switch you off for the final time.

0:36:090:36:13

-1970s Films and TV Comedy were ones you'd have chosen yourself.

-Yeah.

0:36:130:36:18

-They've done you a favour.

-Definitely.

-Didn't want Land Areas.

0:36:180:36:21

Given that they chose them, that's not the worst board you could have got.

0:36:210:36:25

-They underestimated me.

-I think they have. This is the time to prove them wrong.

0:36:250:36:29

Laura, for £6,000, it's time to play the final.

0:36:290:36:32

Laura, if you can achieve perfection you'll be leaving with a prize fund of £6,000.

0:36:340:36:39

-Which would be nice.

-Lovely.

0:36:390:36:41

-If you fail, you'll leave with nothing, which is not so nice.

-No.

0:36:410:36:44

It would be great news for the Usual Suspects, as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £7,000.

0:36:440:36:49

-Given that you think they've underestimated you, it would be nice to win the cash.

-It would be good.

0:36:490:36:56

Let's play the Final Round.

0:36:560:36:59

Here are your categories.

0:37:000:37:03

You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £6,000.

0:37:030:37:06

There's no time limit, but once you've given your first answer, it's locked in.

0:37:060:37:11

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

0:37:110:37:14

1970s Films.

0:37:140:37:17

Christopher Lee. Wasn't he Dracula?

0:37:210:37:24

I'm going to say...false.

0:37:240:37:27

Hong Kong.

0:37:290:37:32

I'm going to say...false.

0:37:350:37:39

Men's Singles.

0:37:410:37:44

-I think that's probably right. I'm going to say true.

-True.

0:37:480:37:52

Measurements.

0:37:540:37:56

I think that's too big. I'm going to say false.

0:38:000:38:04

TV Comedy.

0:38:060:38:09

I'm pretty sure that's true.

0:38:120:38:14

And finally, Land Areas.

0:38:160:38:19

I know Brazil is the largest.

0:38:240:38:26

It's between Argentina and maybe Chile.

0:38:260:38:30

I'm going to say false.

0:38:300:38:33

Those answers are locked in.

0:38:340:38:36

If there's one mistake, you leave with nothing.

0:38:360:38:39

-Which ones are you worried about?

-Quite a few.

0:38:390:38:41

Hong Kong, I've got no idea about. The six inches in the hand.

0:38:410:38:45

And F as well. I'm not very good at geography.

0:38:450:38:49

So, B, D and F are your worries.

0:38:490:38:51

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

0:38:510:38:55

You can now see the six statements and Laura's answers.

0:38:550:38:59

Laura, your answers are locked in, but if you've made a mistake

0:38:590:39:03

you can unlock them with the help of the Usual Suspects - at a cost.

0:39:030:39:08

-Who would you like to hear from first?

-Sarah, please.

0:39:080:39:11

-Sarah?

-I have an inkling that two of them might be wrong.

0:39:110:39:14

I wouldn't be confident on five out of six of them.

0:39:140:39:17

-I don't think I'd be any help to you.

-You're ruling yourself out?

-I am, yes.

-Thank you.

0:39:170:39:23

-David, please.

-I know you've got three wrong. Come back to me.

0:39:230:39:27

- Jane, please. - I can see three of them are right.

0:39:270:39:32

I'm not sure on the other three, so I wouldn't be able to help you.

0:39:320:39:36

< But good luck. Thank you.

0:39:360:39:38

You could go on your own or do you want to go back to David and negotiate?

0:39:380:39:43

David, I'm quite confident on a few.

0:39:430:39:45

-I think together we could do it.

-For how much?

0:39:450:39:48

-For 2,000?

-No, to make it worth it, I'd want four grand.

0:39:480:39:54

David wants 4,000 of your £6,000. Is he telling the truth? What do you want to do?

0:39:540:39:59

I think, split it half and half, three each?

0:39:590:40:02

-No, it's four or forget it.

-OK, I'll do it by myself.

0:40:020:40:06

-You're going to do it by yourself?

-Yeah.

-Negotiations have come to a conclusion.

0:40:060:40:10

None of the Usual Suspects are willing to help. You're on your own.

0:40:100:40:13

£6,000 at stake. Six answers away. Let's find out if you've achieved perfection.

0:40:130:40:20

-Let's find out. David, you thought there were three wrong?

-Yeah.

0:40:200:40:24

-Which three?

-Roger Federer.

0:40:240:40:26

I'm sure he hasn't won that many in a row.

0:40:260:40:29

There's six inches in a hand.

0:40:290:40:31

Then there's Argentina.

0:40:310:40:34

Let's deal with a couple of those and see whether David's right

0:40:340:40:38

and if you needed him to come down.

0:40:380:40:40

You mentioned Roger Federer. Let's start with that one.

0:40:400:40:43

"Roger Federer won five US Open titles in a row."

0:40:430:40:46

You've said true. We need this to turn green to get a good start.

0:40:460:40:50

Is it true or false?

0:40:500:40:52

APPLAUSE

0:40:530:40:56

2004 to 2008, in actual fact.

0:40:570:41:00

"There are six inches in a hand". He thinks you should have changed this.

0:41:000:41:05

Is that true or false?

0:41:050:41:07

APPLAUSE

0:41:080:41:10

-There are four inches.

-He doesn't know what he's talking about!

0:41:110:41:15

If David had helped you, you wouldn't be in any better position.

0:41:150:41:19

What shall we do next? F was the other one. Let's deal with that.

0:41:190:41:23

You said that you thought that Brazil was the largest.

0:41:260:41:30

-And then maybe Chile? It's quite long and thin.

-Yeah.

0:41:300:41:33

It was a toss-up for you.

0:41:330:41:36

In the end, you decided to answer it as false.

0:41:360:41:40

If this turns red, you're halfway to the money on your own.

0:41:400:41:43

If it turns green, the money rolls over.

0:41:430:41:45

Ah, Laura. I'm afraid it's true.

0:41:530:41:56

As a result, you haven't achieved perfection and you won't be leaving with the money.

0:41:560:42:01

Can you still achieve perfection? Let's find out how well you've done.

0:42:010:42:05

Let's go to the top and deal with them in that order...

0:42:050:42:08

You said you thought this was false. We need this to turn red.

0:42:100:42:15

Actually, it's true. "Hong Kong was returned to China in 1991."

0:42:160:42:21

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

0:42:210:42:26

It is false. Handover took place in 1997.

0:42:260:42:29

Going back down to the bottom...

0:42:290:42:31

Four out of six in a board where you had all six chosen for you.

0:42:380:42:42

You should be pretty proud.

0:42:420:42:45

Usual Suspects, great news, the prize fund rolls over.

0:42:450:42:48

One of you could be playing for a total of £7,000.

0:42:480:42:51

APPLAUSE

0:42:510:42:53

-I think it's fair to say, David, you dodged the bullet.

-Yeah.

-LAUGHTER

0:42:550:43:00

Laura, you failed to achieve perfection, which means you go home with nothing other than our thanks.

0:43:000:43:04

-Hope you've enjoyed yourself.

-I had a really good time.

-Laura!

-APPLAUSE

0:43:040:43:09

Please join us next time,

0:43:120:43:14

when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play again - this time for £7,000.

0:43:140:43:19

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

0:43:190:43:22

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
