Episode 31 Perfection

Behind this screen are four contestants

hoping their knowledge is flawless,

because one single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

Hello, and welcome to Perfection,

the 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 who's been randomly selected

to join me here to play Perfection.

They'll then face a series of true or false statements.

For example, if I said...

..would you say that's 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 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 that game works. Let's meet the Usual Suspects.

Hello - my name's Steve, I'm from Cullompton in Devon.

I'm a flight simulator engineer and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Sarah. I'm from Tenterden in Kent.

I'm a travel agent and this is my second game.

Hi, my name's David, I'm from Arnold in Nottingham.

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

Hi, I'm Jane from Nuneaton in Warwickshire.

I'm a retired nursing auxiliary and this is my third game.

Welcome to you all and best of luck,

as we find out who's been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Please come down and join me.

David, welcome to the game.

It's now you against the Usual Suspects.

You were team-mates, you're now enemies.

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

as your failure means the money rolls over to the next game,

where one of them could be sitting here,

playing for a bigger total.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Here's the great news - nobody's won the last six games,

so the prize fund currently stands at £7,000.

That'd be rather nice.

What would you spend it on, if you walked out of here with that?

Oh, I've got three very musical sons that are always wanting to add

to their repertoire.

And if there's any money left - there might be, you never know -

I'd love to go back to Australia to see my sister.

There is there just about enough to do all those things. Good luck.

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

Each round you achieve Perfection will make the final easier.

However, if your performance is less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects have the chance to step in

and steal the round from you.

Usual Suspects, we're switching you off for now,

so you can't see or hear anything.

Each round consists of four true or false statements.

You answer against the clock.

You'll have 45 seconds, and once you've given an answer,

your first answer will be locked in.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Then let's play Perfection.

Round 1, your 45 seconds start now.

Em...I'm going to say true for that.

True.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think so.

-Go for true again.

-True.

He was a lot of things, but I don't think he was that.

-I'll go false on that.

-False.

And finally...

Sounds Irish. Haven't heard of it.

Let me think. Um...

There's a few racecourses.

-Yeah, let's go true, yeah.

-True.

Good use for the time there to think through that last answer.

How was the round?

There's a couple I'm not sure of, that are guesses, really.

-So...we'll see how we do.

-Yeah.

Before revealing how you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements.

Next to them are David's answers.

Sarah, what do you think?

I think I would change A from true to false,

cos the Rosetta Stone, it's not a sculpture,

it's in the British Museum, and it was found, I believe.

Steve, what do you think of those answers?

I've got to agree with Sarah.

Rosetta Stone was an aid to translation.

-I think it's Sumerian.

-Interesting. David, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to win.

Let's see how many are correct.

Three out of four's not bad,

but unfortunately, it's not Perfection.

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

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You can see David's answers.

You only need to change one,

but which one?

Steve, are you sure of that?

-Yes, very sure.

-Yes.

We'll change A from true to false.

A changes from true to false,

leaving B, C and D

as answered by David.

Let's have a look at those answers

and find out whether the statements are true or false.

HE READS QUESTION A

Is that true or false?

It is false.

It's a inscribed ancient Egyptian stone

which held the key to hieroglyphics.

Pretty much as you said, Steve - good knowledge, there.

HE READS QUESTION B

True or false?

True.

HE READS QUESTION C

True or false?

Yeah, we're not aware that he was

ever involved with paintball.

HE READS QUESTION D

True or false?

It's true - congratulations, Usual Suspects,

You have achieved Perfection.

Oh, dear - they've succeeded where you've failed.

They've stolen the round.

Appearing before you is your final board.

The six blank spaces must be filled with subject categories.

Here are your final round category options...

If you'd have won that round, you'd have the opportunity of adding

two categories of your choice to the board.

But because the Usual Suspects nipped in and stole it from you,

they choose two categories,

hoping to make the final harder for you.

Choose away, Usual Suspects.

Boy bands - he's not really a boy band kind of guy, I think.

What about gymnastics?

He's slipped up on sports before.

OK - we'll take across gymnastics, Nick.

Gymnastics goes into the final, and...?

-Do you want to try boy bands?

-I think boy bands, yes.

And we'll take boy bands across, Nick.

And boy bands goes in.

Well done, Usual Suspects. You won the first round.

Time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round 2 - cheerio.

-Gymnastics?

-Take it or leave it, really.

I might be OK, but...give it a go.

What do you think they mean,

that you have no knowledge of boy bands?

-I think they're right.

-Oh, OK.

Take a look at the list over on the left there

and tell me which two you'd like to avoid.

Won't particularly want opera.

And possibly Marx would be a bit of a hard one -

I assume that's Karl Marx, don't know.

And the two you'll choose first, given the opportunity?

Possibly Kent? Speaking Clock, maybe?

All right. It's only the first round.

You have two more rounds to find Perfection

-and choose the categories for yourself.

-Yeah.

-Are you ready to carry on?

-Yeah.

-Then let's play Round 2.

Your 45 seconds start now.

No, that wasn't that was...Ultravox.

So that means it's false.

-False.

-Yeah.

I think that's true, yes.

-So you're saying...?

-True, yeah.

No, it's not. I think it's in China.

But it's not in the Philippines.

-So you're saying...?

-False.

And finally...

Uh...I don't think he did that, no.

-False.

-False.

And with time to spare,

you've answered all four statements.

That sounded like a positive round.

-Hm.

-More confident on this one?

-A little bit, yes.

-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.

Let's start with you, Sarah.

Can you see any faults in his answers?

No, I don't think I can on this one.

I think he's got Perfection.

Steve, can you see anything wrong?

No, can't see anything wrong at all.

It looks a good 100% board.

Jane, surely you're not waving the white flag up there, are you?

I think he has actually got Perfection.

That's a vote of confidence from them.

I wish I was as confident!

Yeah. It's the moment of truth.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Congratulations, David.

You have achieved Perfection.

Fantastic - it's all you need, a bit of confidence.

A bit of a boost.

Let's go through them in a bit more detail.

HE READS QUESTION A

You said that was false,

and it is...false.

-Who did you think it was?

-Ultravox, isn't it?

Ultravox is correct.

HE READS QUESTION B

You said that was true,

and it is...true.

HE READS QUESTION C

You said that was false.

And it is...false.

It's actually a Malaysian island and state.

HE READS QUESTION D

You said that was false

and it is...false.

He's never been on Dragons' Den.

Let's see the final board.

Currently two subject categories chosen for you

by the Usual Suspects, but because you won that round,

you get to choose the next two, so what would you like?

I'll try and see what History's like.

-History goes across.

-Yeah.

-Um...let's go for Kent.

-Kent goes in.

Very well played - Usual Suspects, you missed out there,

didn't get a look in.

I'm going to switch you off, we'll see you in Round 3.

You veered away from the Speaking Clock in the end, there?

Still might come back to that if I get a chance.

-Shall we play on?

-Let's do it.

Let's play Round 3.

Your 45 seconds start now.

I've not heard of it.

-I'm going to say false.

-False.

-Yes, it is, that's true.

-True.

"Respondez", yes - it's missing an "s".

Um...yes, that's true.

True. And finally...

Ooh, I ought to know that.

Um...

I'll have to guess - I'm going to say it's true.

True.

Good use of the time.

First one...I know the '70s well,

so - I'd never heard of The Droogs.

-You think if it was, you'd have heard of it.

-Yeah.

All right. Before we see how many you've got correct,

let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements,

next to them are David's answers.

Steve, how's he'd done this time?

He's cracked it again - that's 100%.

Jane, can you see anything wrong with those answers?

Not really - I though C was "respondez s'il vous plait."

I'm not sure on that.

All right - sit back, it's the moment of truth.

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

Let's see how many are correct.

Congratulations, David,

you have achieved Perfection again.

Well, it's a lesson in how to play the game.

Let's go through these in more detail.

HE READS QUESTION A

You said it was false,

and it is of course...false.

Anybody remember who The Droogs were?

Yeah, they were the gang from Clockwork Orange.

Exactly right, Steve,

they were the violent youths from Clockwork Orange.

HE READS QUESTION B

You said this was true, and it is...

..true.

HE READS QUESTION C

And that is in fact...true.

"Repondez s'il vous plait."

Most people think it's "respondez",

but it is "repondez".

It comes from the verb "repondre".

HE READS QUESTION D

True or false?

And it is true - his arch-enemy was Napoleon, the other pig.

Let's see the final board. It's a 50/50 board at the moment.

Two categories chosen by the Usual Suspects,

two by you, but because you won this round,

you get to choose the last two.

Which would you like?

Let's try US Sitcoms - it depends what US Sitcom they refer to.

-US Sitcoms goes in.

-Yeah.

And Let's see what the Speaking Clock's all about.

And Speaking Clock goes into the final.

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

Time to switch off the Usual Suspects

for the last time - cheerio!

You've chosen four of the six categories.

That's got to put you in a strong position for the final.

Yeah - not so keen on some of those topics,

but it depends what the questions are.

Each time we've played

and I've said "How have you done?", you've said, "Meh, yeah."

Then got two rounds completely correct.

I have a feeling, even if you had all your favourite subjects,

you'd go, "Meh..."

Yeah.

-LAUGHING:

-OK, David, for £7,000, it's time to play the final.

This is the all-important final.

If you achieve Perfection, you could leave with £7,000.

If you fail, you leave 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.

David, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements perfectly

if you want to win the £7,000.

Think carefully - there's no time limit,

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

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

Gymnastics...

-Yes, he is.

-So we're saying...?

-Yeah, it's...it's true.

-True, thank you.

Boy bands...

I really haven't got a clue.

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

False.

Those are the two categories chosen for you by the Usual Suspects

out of the way.

-Now we move onto the ones chosen by yourself.

-Yeah.

History...

I can well believe that's the case.

Yeah, cos he had a lot of ups and downs in his life,

in his campaigns and what have you.

-Let's go for true, then.

-True.

That he did kill himself, yeah.

Kent...

Oh, if only I could study a map now.

Um...this is going to be a guess again.

-It could be true, but I think I'm going to go false.

-False?

-Yeah.

US Sitcoms...

Yeah, I think it was, actually.

They were both about the same time,

Mork And Mindy came after.

Why would it be a spin-off?

It'd have to have the same character in it.

No, I'm veering away. I'll say false.

-False.

-Yeah - not sure, but I'll say false.

And finally, Speaking Clock.

Can't think of any other number it would be, so yeah, I'll say true.

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

If there's a single mistake, you leave with nothing.

-Which ones are you worried about?

-Um...the Mork And Mindy,

I just can't quite...

It might be true, actually. I can't quite get that in my mind.

And the hamlet near Sandwich called Ham, that's a guess, so...

It's a tongue-twister, even if it's not true.

-D and E are the ones you're worried about.

-Yeah.

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, David's answers.

David, your answers are locked in

and you can't change them by yourself,

but if you think you've made a mistake,

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

This will, however, come at a cost.

David, who would you like to hear from first?

Could I hear from Jane, first, please?

I think you've possibly got two wrong.

I can see two, I think, that are definitely wrong.

I might be prepared to come down for a price,

if you want to name your price?

OK, I'll bear that in mind. Let's hear from Sarah next, please.

How do you think you've done, David?

I know I've got four of them right, it's just the other two,

I'm not sure, 50/50.

OK - well, there's definitely two there that I know are wrong.

For £4,000, I may be prepared to come and help you.

I'll...bear that in mind. Let's see what Steve has to say.

I'm in agreement with the ladies. You've definitely got two wrong.

-OK.

-I'm quite happy to undercut Sarah by 100, so - 3,900.

3,900! OK.

Do you want to negotiate prices or do you want to go it alone?

-It's up to you.

-I would accept 3,000 off it.

Is anyone interested in 3,000? Jane? You interested?

Yes, I'll come down for 3,000, David.

Anybody else interested?

No. Won't undercut that.

-No?

-No, Sarah?

We've got ourselves a deal, then.

OK - Jane, for £3,000 of the £7,000 prize fund,

-you're happy with that?

-Yes, yes.

Then please come down and join us.

OK, David, you've asked Jane for help -

if you achieve Perfection, it'll cost you £3,000

of your potential prize fund of £7,000.

Jane, 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 so.

-We're about to find out.

Here are the final round statements.

Now, all six answers are unlocked.

Start discussing what it is that you want David to change.

OK. So, you've got two specific answers?

I'm sure Duncan James is a member of Blue.

-OK.

-Sure...

-I'm not quite sure about Mork and Mindy.

-Can't quite think.

They'll be a character that's the same, won't there?

And I don't know whether...

-Not sure.

-Was Mork or Mindy in Happy Days?

-That's what I'm trying to think.

-Mork, I think.

-Mork was in Happy Days?

-That was Robin Williams.

Oh, um...oh, no, it's the Fonz.

-Oh, I'm not sure, now.

-The Fonz - it was the same show, wasn't it?

-Yeah.

-Was he in Happy Days?

I've got a feeling that there is a follow-up.

I've seen it somewhere before, but...OK.

Is there a hamlet near Sandwich called Ham?

-Is this a complete guess?

-Could be true.

-It's a bit...

-Could be.

-OK.

-F is definitely right, yes.

And Mork and Mindy, we're veering onto...true,

-I think, aren't we?

-Yes, yeah.

-If you're happy with that.

-I think so.

-I know it was...yeah.

-So what would you like to change?

-We're leaving A as it is.

-Yes.

B, we're changing to true.

-Pretty sure Duncan James is in Blue.

-We're changing that to true.

B, we're changing to true, please.

B changes from false to true.

I think we're going to leave Hannibal as true, yeah.

-Mork and Mindy, we're going to change that to true, aren't we?

-Yeah.

If you're happy with that.

-E changes from false to true.

-Yes.

The Speaking Clock, we're sure on,

so that's OK.

Is there anything else you want to change before I lock them in?

A hamlet near Sandwich called Ham...

-Your decision. It's your game.

-Is this Ham...?

Got it as false.

-Shall we leave it as false?

-Yes, yeah.

OK, we'll leave it as false, yes.

So, lock all the rest of the answers in?

-Yes.

-Yes.

-Yes?

-Yes.

-It's your game.

-The rest of those answers are now locked in.

£7,000 at stake. £4,000 to David, £3,000 to Jane. Six answers away,

let's find out if you've achieved Perfection?

Right, let's start at the top, shall we?

You said this was true, David.

Jane had no reason to disagree. Is that true or false?

It is true, very well done.

APPLAUSE

David, to be fair, you said you didn't know much about Blue

but Jane convinced you that Duncan James was a member of Blue.

So got you to change this to true. Is that true or false?

It is true.

APPLAUSE

So you now know, David, that if Jane hadn't have come down to join

you you would have been going home with no money at all.

The question is, Jane, have you done enough to make this card correct?

David, you thought this was likely to be true.

Jane had no reason to disagree. Is that true or false?

It is true.

To avoid capture.

So, now this is interesting.

-This is a guess.

-You kind of thought about changing this, didn't you?

And then decided not to. Shall we come back to that one?

If we must.

And move on to the one that you did change.

Interestingly, when you talked about this, David,

you said I think that's true.

And then you kind of talked yourself out of it and went with false.

And then when Jane came down you kind of talked yourself

back into it again.

-So we're not quite sure where we are now.

-We don't know.

Other than the fact that you changed it to true.

Is it true or false?

It is true.

APPLAUSE

Well...

You said true, Jane had no reason to disagree.

This turns green, you're one away from the £7,000.

Is it true or is it false?

-This is a 50/50.

-There's got to be one red one.

Right, so it all comes down to this one.

The one that you thought about changing and didn't change.

The one you kept as false.

And let's look at the board, it is a board of green.

All true answers.

So you kind to think there should be a false in there somewhere.

This sounds too many coincidences to be right.

So you went with false.

And you stuck with false when you had the option to change it.

If this turns red, you are walking away with £7,000 between you.

Fingers crossed.

Is it true or false.

For £7,000.

It's true.

-You're joking.

-Whole board of greens.

-A whole board of true in the end.

David and Jane, I'm afraid you didn't achieve Perfection.

Which means that you're not going home with the money.

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 £8,000.

David and Jane, you failed to achieve Perfection.

Unfortunately it means you still go home with nothing other than

-our thanks for playing. I hope you enjoyed the game.

-Really brill.

David and Jane, ladies and gentlemen.

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

Perfection today.

New Usual Suspects, please introduce yourselves.

Hi, I'm Lyn.

I live near Caerphilly, South Wales and I'm a retired accounts manager.

Hi, I'm Danny from Durham

and I'm a International Marketing student in Glasgow.

Best of luck to you all as we now find out which

one of you has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Please come down and play.

Danny, welcome to the game. What is it you're studying? International...

-International Marketing.

-So what will that end up being as a job?

To be honest I don't have any high hopes involving

International Marketing but I definitely have real estate on the mind.

-So you think there's a lot of cash to be made in that?

-Definitely, yeah.

That's good for everyone who's got a house.

It's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

Here's the good news, nobody's won the last seven games

so the prize fund currently stands at £8,000.

Probably you're rolling in money, being a student(!)

-I wouldn't say that.

-So, £8,000, what would you be spending it on?

To be honest, I would put it towards living costs next year.

It's an expensive business so best of luck with this.

I hope you can get some cash out of the game.

Three rounds and a final to come, Usual Suspects,

we're going to switch you off for now

so you can't see or hear anything

but as soon as Danny makes a mistake you'll be back in that game.

-Are you ready to play?

-Yep.

-Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round one, your 45 seconds starts now.

-I have a feeling that might be true.

-So you're saying true.

To be honest, I have no idea about the height of waves.

-I'm going to say true for that.

-True.

I don't believe that is the case.

I've seen Avatar and I think that's false.

False. And finally...

I've definitely heard Paul Weller and the Modfather in the same

-sentence, I'm going to say true for that one.

-True.

And with time to spare you answered all four statements.

That sounded like a very positive round.

-I'd hope so.

-Happy with that?

-I'll say so, yeah.

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

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

So, Usual Suspects these are the four statements

and next to them are Danny's answers.

-Sarah, has he achieved Perfection?

-I think he might have, Nick.

-Steve, what do you make of those answers?

-I'm pretty sure A is

wrong, I don't think Greg Rusedski ever won a major at all,

let alone the US Open.

-Lyn, what do you think?

-I think D may be wrong, actually.

I think Paul Weller is not known as the Modfather.

OK, Danny, 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's not a bad score, but it's not Perfection.

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

Can you steal the round, Usual Suspects?

You can see Danny's answers, you need to change just one of them

-but which one?

-How confident are you with the tennis.

-100%.

-Are you happy to change?

I'm not 100% confident in what I said so I'll go with A.

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

A changes from true to false leaving B, C and D as answered by Danny.

All right, Usual Suspects,

let's find out what the correct answers are.

It is false. He was a defeated finalist in 1997.

In actual fact. He got to the final but didn't win it.

That's true.

That's false, it was a 12A certificate.

That's true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

Danny, they succeeded where you failed and as a result they've stolen the round.

Danny, this is your final board appearing.

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

Here are your final round category options appearing.

Starting with Superman, going through

Mo Farah, Mrs Brown's Boys and on to National Anthems with many more in between.

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you

they get to choose two categories hoping to make the final

harder for you to win, so which two would you like, Usual Suspects?

Middle Names could be a good one. Could be anything.

I'd be inclined to agree with Jury Service, I think.

-Jury Service and Middle Names?

-Jury Service and Middle Names, please.

Jury Service goes into the final. And Middle Names joins it.

Well done, Usual Suspects.

You've won the first round, but time to switch you off.

We will see you in Round 2.

Right, now the Usual Suspects have gone we can have a chat about that. Jury Service?

Jury Service, I have absolutely no idea what kind of question

could come up about that. Obviously, it's way out of my league.

-Middle Names?

-I think that would just depend on the question that came up.

Yeah. Take a look at the list there.

Pick me two that you will be choosing if you get the opportunity?

2012 without a doubt and probably TV Personalities.

And ones you'd like to avoid?

Mrs Brown's Boys and also the Mercury Prize.

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

You still have two more to find Perfection

and choose your own categories for the final.

-Are you ready?

-Yep.

-Let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Humphrey Bogart, I don't believe that is true.

-I'm going to say false with that one.

-False.

I can't imagine Simon Cowell appearing on Bullseye.

-I'm going to say false.

-False.

I've travelled across the English Channel.

I believe that might be true.

True. And finally...

Golf isn't my finest subject but I haven't heard the term Snowman

-so I'm going to say false for that as well.

-False.

And again, with time to spare you answered all four.

-Good round, bad round?

-A bit unsure to be honest.

-Middling.

-Yeah.

All right, before we reveal how well you've done it's time to

bring back the Usual Suspects.

So here are the four statements and next to them are Danny's answers.

Steve, what do you think? Has he achieved Perfection?

I'm not confident on C.

I think the Goodwin Sands may be further round

and actually in the North Sea.

-Lyn, can you see any mistakes?

-I'm not sure on A, actually.

I think perhaps Humphrey Bogart was married quite a few times

and I believe Carole Lombard was one of his wives.

Sarah, I read a lot of magazines and I think B might actually be true.

I think I've seen something about Simon Cowell being on Bullseye.

All right, it's the moment of truth. Let's find out how many are correct.

-Three out of four again, consistent.

-Better than I thought I would do.

Consistently just under the level that you need to achieve Perfection.

And as a result the Usual Suspects are back in the game.

Can you steal the round?

Once again you can see Danny's answers

and you only need to change one of them.

I'm happy to go with Lyn's idea of Humphrey Bogart.

-I'm not 100% sure but I have a feeling.

-I'll go along with that.

-Nick, can we change A from false to true, please.

-Yes, you can.

A changes from false to true leaving B, C and D as answered by Danny.

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

It's false.

Carole Lombard was the wife of Clark Gable.

Oh, dear, Usual Suspects.

You had the chance to steal the round

but you failed to achieve Perfection.

Can you still achieve Perfection at home?

Let's go through those statements and answers.

That's false. He did however appear as a contestant on

Sale Of The Century.

-That might be what you read, Sarah.

-Yep.

That is true, in actual fact. It's the one none of you discussed.

True or false?

It's true because the eight looks a bit like a snowman.

Let's see the final board.

Currently on there are two subject categories

chosen by the Usual Suspects.

But as neither side won that round,

the two categories that were due to be chosen will be carried over to the

next round, meaning four categories will be on offer in Round 3.

Usual Suspects, time to switch you off again. See you later.

So with four categories available in this next round, it would be a

-good one to win.

-Definitely.

-Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I'm not too great on my history however

I believe that might be false.

-So I'm going to say false.

-False.

-I think that is true.

-True.

-Yep.

I've definitely read that recently, I'm going to say true.

True and finally.

Oubliette, it doesn't ring

familiar to me, I'm going

-to say false for that one.

-False.

And again, with time to spare you have answered all four statements.

How was that?

I feel a bit better about it than the last round but then again

I did better than I thought I did on the last round, so...

OK, before we find out whether you've achieved perfection or not,

let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

So these were the four statements and next to them

are Danny's answers.

Lyn, do you think he's achieved perfection this time?

I believe C is wrong.

I don't think the lotus flower is the national flower of India.

I believe that might be China.

-Steve, what do you think?

-He's got D wrong.

Oubliette means forget

and a dungeon is where you put people to forget about them.

All right, Danny, it's 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.

Well, I tell you what, If this was darts, I'd say good grouping.

It's consistent,

but it's consistently one short of Perfection.

Once again you've allowed your enemies

the Usual Suspects into the game. Can you steel the round.

You can see Danny's answers. You need to change one of them.

-Are you sure on D?

-I am 100% confident on D.

OK, we'd like to change D from false to true.

D changes from false to true.

Leaving A, B and C as answered by Danny.

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

Yes, it is false.

Elizabeth I was queen from 1558 to 1603.

Lady Jane Grey was Queen in 1553.

And very briefly as well before it all went horribly wrong for her.

DAB stands for Digital Audio Broadcasting, true or false?

True.

India's national flower is the lotus, true or false?

True. You know where this is going there, Usual Suspects.

Oubliette is a term for a type

of dungeon, true or false?

It's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Good knowledge, Steve, very good.

The Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed and stolen a round.

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

chances of winning the prize fund as hard as they can be.

Let's see the final board.

There are two categories chosen by you in the first round.

And because you won that round just now, you've earned the right

to choose four categories to add to the board.

Two from Round 2 and two from Round 3.

So which four would you like him to play?

-Conquests?

-Conquests.

Conquests is what I had in mind, so Conquests, please, Nick.

-Conquests goes in.

-How about Walls?

-Yeah, Walls is bizarre.

-That could be anything.

-Walls goes in.

-How about Canary Islands?

-Yeah.

-Canary Islands, please, Nick.

-Canary Islands goes on.

-National Anthems?

-Yeah.

-National Anthems is the last one, please, Nick.

National Anthems goes in. We now know our six final categories.

They are...

Very well played, guys.

It's time to switch you off for the final time.

Well...how do you fancy that lot?

It's not ideal but I think a few

of them depend on the types

of questions that come up, so I'll

go into this with an open mind.

Danny, for £8,000, it's time to play the Final.

APPLAUSE

Danny, this is the all-important Final.

If you achieve Perfection you could be leaving with a prize fund

of £8,000. 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 £9,000 on the next game.

Let's play the Final Round.

APPLAUSE

Danny, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £8,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit

but one should given an answer,

-your first answer, it's locked in. Ready?

-Yeah.

Let's reveal your first statement.

Tell me whether you believe it to be true or false.

Jury Service.

Yes, I believe that is true.

I remember reading this one time,

just as part of general knowledge kind of thing.

-OK, so you're saying true.

-Yes.

Middle Names.

I'm not ready sure if John Lennon had a middle name,

-so I'm going to say false.

-False.

Conquests.

My history knowledge definitely doesn't span that far back.

-I'm just going to take a wild guess and say true.

-True.

Walls.

-I don't believe it was that long so I'm going to say false.

-False.

Canary Islands.

I haven't been to the Canary Islands.

I know people that have that will probably kick me

for getting this wrong.

Tenerife, I believe is the largest island of the Canary Islands,

-so I'll say true.

-True.

And finally National Anthems.

I find that unlikely to be true.

I'm sure, living in Scotland, I'd have heard this by now.

-So I'm going to say false.

-False.

And with that, those answers are locked in.

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

So which ones are you unsure of?

-Definitely C. And also...E, perhaps.

-C and E are worrying you.

OK, let's bring back the Usual Suspects

and see what they have to say.

Usual Suspects, you can see the final six statements

and next to them are Danny's answers.

Your answers are locked in and 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, but at a cost.

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

-Sarah first.

How do you think you've done on this round?

I feel pretty confident about this board, to be honest.

I would like to maybe confer with somebody, though,

just to clarify that I've got the answers right.

There's one there that I think may be wrong,

-so I may be interested in helping you achieve Perfection.

-Right.

-I'll hear from Steve next.

-I'm looking at a 50% board there.

I think there's at least three wrong,

but I'm going to rule myself out.

-I just cannot see enough to convince me to come down.

-Right. Lyn?

I too believe you definitely have two wrong and I'm not

sure on one other, and I'm not confident enough to come down.

-Sorry, I can't help.

-That's fine. Sarah, are you feeling confident?

-Not any more!

-LAUGHTER

so I think I'm going to rule myself out as well. Good luck.

-Thank you.

-OK, Danny, none of the Usual Suspects are willing to help

so you're on your own. £8,000 at stake. Six answers away.

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

Let's start at the top.

The legal age to serve on a jury in UK is 16. You said this was true.

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

Is that true or false?

-It's false, I'm afraid.

-Bad start. AUDIENCE GROANS

Bad start. The worst kind of start.

It effectively means you can't achieve Perfection

and you won't be leaving with the £8,000, I'm afraid.

I wonder whether you can still achieve Perfection at home.

18 is the legal age to be on a jury in the UK. So...

John Lennon's middle name was Winston.

You thought he didn't have a middle name, possibly.

You said this was false. Is it true or false?

I'm afraid it's true. He is John Winston Lennon.

The Norman Conquest happened in the 10th century.

You said you weren't particularly good on history this far back,

so you went for true.

Is that true or false?

I'm afraid it's false.

It began in 1066, which basically is the 11th century.

The Berlin Wall was over 50 miles long. You said that was false.

Is it true or false?

It's true, I'm afraid. It was in fact about 95 miles long.

-It's a long wall.

-WAS a long wall.

-WAS a long wall.

We're in difficulty here, Danny, and I'd like this to improve for you

so you feel you've gone home with a couple of yeses.

Tenerife is the largest

of the Canary Islands. You said true.

Is that true or false?

-It's true!

-Weh-hey!

There's one for you.

And finally we get to

Scotland and Uganda share the same national anthem.

-You said you'd have heard about this if it was true.

-I reckon so, yeah.

You said it was false. Is it true or false?

It is false.

-Scotland doesn't have an official national anthem.

-Does it not?

I should have known that as well, then.

Well, Usual Suspects, that's fantastic news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game where

one of you could be playing for a total of £9,000.

APPLAUSE

-Sarah, glad you decided not to come down in the end?

-Yes, very glad.

-LAUGHTER

-Yeah, you all dodged a bullet there.

Danny, you failed to achieve Perfection,

and you go home with nothing except our thanks for playing.

-I hope you enjoyed it even though it was a rough round.

-It definitely exceeded my expectations.

-LAUGHTER

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

APPLAUSE

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 £9,000.

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