Episode 37 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz show that demands perfection.

Behind here, four contestants hope their knowledge is flawless

cos 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?

Well, if you 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 mistake.

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

I'm David from Holmfirth. I'm a civil servant and this is my first game.

I'm Ken, I'm a retired overseas holiday rep, I'm from Filton

and this is my second game.

I'm Craig, I'm from Weston-super-Mare,

I am a carpenter and this is my sixth game.

I'm Sharon, I'm from the Rhondda Valleys in South Wales.

I'm a personnel clerk and this is my 10th game.

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

David, you are the chosen one,

please come down and join me.

APPLAUSE

Welcome to the game. Let's find out more about you.

Now, you go off... Is it camping with the family?

We're one of the many people that tow a caravan around the country,

so my wife and three children, we love going away for weekends.

Sounds like a great way to get out and see the country.

It is, I'm not sure how much the drivers on the motorway

like being stuck behind caravans, but a lot of people do it and that's...

It's a free road, you do as you please. Absolutely.

It's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your team-mates, now your enemies.

Their job's to stop you winning the prize fund

cos your failure means the prize money rolls over to the next game

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

Every game on Perfection is worth ?1,000.

Here's the great news for you - nobody has won the last four games,

so the prize fund currently stands at ?5,000.

APPLAUSE

That's a lot of miles in the caravan,

do you have something you want to spend that kind of money on?

It would be nice to do Disney with the kids, maybe not in the caravan.

Good luck. Here's how the game works -

you'll play three rounds and a final.

Every round you achieve Perfection will make the final easier for you.

However, if your performance is anything less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects have the chance to step in and steal the round,

making the final harder for you. More of that to follow later.

Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off for now,

so you can't see or hear anything. And away they go.

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. Are you ready? Yep.

Then let's get started, shall we? Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1, your 45 seconds start now.

Is that true or false? I know it was linked to NASA, I think.

I'll go with true. True?

Rihanna... 2012...

True. True?

I'll go with false.

I'm sure there must be other reasons why you get that. False?

And finally...

He certainly plays for Chelsea...

Watch the time. True.

True? And with that you've answered all four statements.

How was that round for you?

A bit iffy, so not that confident.

Like the curate's egg - good and bad in parts. Yes, something like that.

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

to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Let's start with you, Sharon.

Has he achieved Perfection first-time off?

Now, he's got A wrong.

The world wide web, I think, was about 20 years later. OK, Ken.

He's definitely got C wrong.

As a sufferer from hypertension,

I know that I have high blood pressure, so that should be true.

Interesting. David, they think you've made a few mistakes there,

it's the moment of truth, you need to have got all four correct

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

Just two out of the four,

which in a 50-50 game, as I always say, is a pretty average score.

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

Can you steal the round? You can see David's answers,

you need to change two of them, but which two?

C is definitely not right.

Yep, well, we'll go with your knowledge on that one, definitely.

And the top one, don't we? Yeah, so it's pretty obvious which two.

We'll change A to false, please. A changes from true to false.

And C from false to true.

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

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

The world wide web was invented in 1969, is that true or false?

Yes, that is in fact false.

Tim Berners-Lee and his team created it around 1990, which is

about 21 years later, so a very good guess, Sharon.

Rihanna released the album Unapologetic in 2012,

is that true or false?

Yep, that's true. David bang on with his musical knowledge there.

People with hypertension have high blood pressure,

is that true or false?

Yes, Ken was able to come in with some personal knowledge there.

And finally,

Eden Hazard plays football for Belgium - true or false?

Absolutely true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

you have achieved Perfection.

David, they managed to succeed where you failed

and they've stolen the round from you.

Appearing before you, David, is your final board.

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

Here are your final round category options,

starting with 2012 Films and running on through The Rose Family,

Roman Empire and onto Liverpool with many more in between.

Now, if you'd have won that round,

you'd have the opportunity to add two categories of your choice to the board,

but because the Usual Suspects nicked it from you, they get

to choose two categories, hoping to make the final harder for you.

So, fire away, Usual Suspects.

Which two would you like David to play in the final?

I was going to say Prisons. It seems such an obscure question.

CRAIG: Yeah, David doesn't seem like the sort of man that's spent much

time in prisons, does he? No, I don't think so!

OK, we'll go for Prisons first, please.

Thank you, Prisons goes into the final. And Astronomy.

Astronomy, yeah, that's good. That's very hard, yes.

And Astronomy, please. Astronomy. Very well done, Usual Suspects.

You won the first round, time to switch you off,

but we will, of course, see you in Round 2. Cheerio.

Now they've gone they can't hear us, let's have a chat about that.

Tough one that, you think, Prisons? Craig is thankfully correct,

I've not spent any time in prison. LAUGHTER

I live near a prison, but I don't think that will help. Astronomy.

Anything to do with Patrick Moore, maybe.

Take a look at that list on the left there,

pick me the first two that you will be choosing, given the opportunity.

There's some tricky ones there.

I've been to Australia so I might be OK with that one.

Liverpool, possibly. OK, pick two that you really want to avoid.

Probably Literature...

and Volcanoes probably, actually.

It's only the first round, you still have two more rounds

to find Perfection and choose your own categories for the final.

Are you ready for the next round? Mm-hm. Then let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

My uncle'll not be happy if I get this wrong...

He's a policeman, I'll go with true. True?

False. False?

I think I've seen that in the shops, so true. True? And finally...

He certainly wasn't born in Britain... Yeah, I think that's true.

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

Did that feel any more comfortable? Less comfortable than Round 1.

Which is a bit concerning. Going in the wrong direction! It is indeed.

Before we reveal exactly how well you've done,

or not, it's time for us to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements and next to them

are David's answers. Craig, is this Perfection you see before you?

I don't think it is Perfection.

I think that he could have A and C wrong.

I pride myself on actually planting a few carrots every summer,

so I'm thinking that I've never heard of one called the Dwarf Cavendish.

Interesting. Sharon, what do you make of these?

I think he's got A wrong, actually.

A maulstick,

I've not heard of a maulstick as part of a policeman's equipment.

Are you familiar with a policeman's equipment? SHE LAUGHS

I'm so sorry. I just wondered whether you have a member of the family who is a policeman?

No, but I do have a few friends that are policemen. OK.

So I would change that to false. OK, David, the moment of truth,

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

Well, two out of four.

Another average score, I'm afraid, and certainly not Perfection.

Once again, the Usual Suspects have a chance to steal

and once again you need to find two alternatives to the answers

given by David, which ones are you going to change?

Well, B and D are correct, I know those two are correct. Yeah, but...

So we're saying we're going to change A and C then, yeah? Yeah.

I've no idea what a maulstick is, I'll leave that to you. OK.

We'll change A from true to false, please.

A from true to false, thank you.

And C from true to false as well.

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

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

A maulstick is part of a policeman's equipment, is that true or false?

Absolutely false.

It's a stick used by painters as a rest for the hand.

Anne Boleyn was known as The Flanders Mare, true or false?

Yes, that's false.

It was Anne of Cleves who was known as The Flanders Mare.

The Dwarf Cavendish is a type of carrot - true or false?

Yeah, it's false. Craig, you are quite right.

You haven't ever planted a carrot that was a Dwarf Cavendish.

It is in fact, a type of banana.

The athlete Mo Farah was born in Somalia - true or false?

Absolutely true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

you have achieved Perfection.

Oh dear, David, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed

and they've nicked the round off you.

Let's see the final board...

Occupying the first two spaces in the final board are categories

chosen by the Usual Suspects, and because they've nipped in

and taken that last round as well,

they get to choose the next two, so what do you fancy?

CRAIG: I'm thinking Roman Empire.

Yes, I had my eye on that. Roman Empire. Roman Empire, please.

Roman Empire goes in, thank you.

And The Rose Family, I would imagine that's about various roses, is it,

or a particular family? I would think so, yes. Yeah, yeah.

The Rose Family, please. And The Rose Family makes it into the final.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you're on fire, as they say.

You've won the second round as well as the first.

Time to switch you off, see you in Round 3, cheerio.

Roman Empire, you any good on that? Hopefully, I did Latin at school.

The Rose Family?

I can only think of Justin Rose - golf - quite all right with that.

David, you still have one more chance to find Perfection

and choose your own categories for the final.

Are you ready to play the next round? Yep. Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

He looks much older!

I'll go with...true. True?

Oh, I'm from Yorkshire! HE INHALES DEEPLY

Bronte... (Dove Cottage...)

I think it is true. True?

Watch the time. I think that's false. False? And finally...

I don't know that one, true. True?

Was starting to worry for you a little bit in the middle there as

you spent some time thinking about the Charlotte Bronte question.

How was that? A little bit more comfortable.

I'll probably be proved wrong on that one, but, yeah. You never know.

Before we find out, let's talk to the Usual Suspects.

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

Ken, what d'you think, has he achieved Perfection this time?

Not quite.

Charlotte Bronte lived in the Parsonage, Haworth,

and not at Dove Cottage.

So, that is false.

The way Ken says stuff,

you start to believe he knows what he's talking about, don't you?

He's not a man that you instantly go, "He's making that up as he goes along."

Craig, you knew that as well, didn't you?

Oh, yeah(!) I was going to repeat exactly what he said,

I can't believe he got there before me.

Anything else that you see wrong with this?

Well, Gordon Ramsay for 57 years old...

I thought he might be a bit younger than that. And Sharon?

I had an inkling at B

and I would have changed that one from true to false.

David, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Just one out of four on this occasion

and heading in the wrong direction, I'm afraid,

but have you made it more difficult for them in the process?

The Usual Suspects are into the game.

You need to change three answers, so which three?

I can't see why

the Italian stock market should not be in the capital of Italy.

Yeah, it makes sense, doesn't it?

I can't see that it should be in Turin for any reason.

British PMs born in the UK...

You would hope that most of them were born in the UK, wouldn't you?

Does anybody know Gordon Ramsay well enough

to answer that question, A?

He started out as a footballer, didn't he, for Edinburgh, actually?

He was probably twenty-something then and then went into being a chef,

so I would say that is true and the other three are wrong.

I would say that, yeah. I'm happy with that.

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

B from true to false.

Yep, C from false to true. C from false to true.

And D from true to false. And D from true to false.

Leaving A as answered by David.

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

Gordon Ramsay is 57 years old, is that true or false?

It's false I'm afraid.

You're going to have to give me a moment here cos I know Gordon really well...

NICK LAUGHS ..and I went to his birthday recently

and he's younger than me!

He was born in 1966.

So, yes, I'm afraid you haven't achieved Perfection, Usual Suspects,

I wonder whether you can still achieve Perfection at home?

Let's carry on through these, shall we?

Charlotte Bronte famously lived at Dove Cottage,

is that true or false?

Yeah, that's false, exactly as Ken said

and for all the same reasons that he said, to be honest. Perfectly accurate.

William Wordsworth actually lived at Dove Cottage.

Every British Prime Minister has been born in the UK - true or false?

Yeah, that's false in actual fact. Andrew Bonar Law was born in Canada.

He was Prime Minister, not one that we all remember,

but certainly an example of one that wasn't born in the UK.

The Italian stock market is headquartered in Turin,

is that true or false?

Yeah, that's actually false,

but not in Rome, as you would think.

It's based in Milan, in actual fact. Let's see the final board...

Four subject categories already in there, chosen by you.

Now, it's interesting, nobody managed to win Round 3,

so we have two spaces left to fill. How do we do it?

Well, you take it in turns, basically,

and you as the single player, David, get to go first.

So, which subject category would you like to choose as the only

category that you will take into the final round? I'll go with Australia.

Australia goes into the final.

And, Usual Suspects? CRAIG: Volcanoes?

Volcanoes sounds good. Volcanoes, please. Volcanoes.

OK, we now know our six final categories, they are...

Usual Suspects, you played very well there.

Won two of the three rounds - well played.

We'll switch you off and see you a bit later. Away they go.

Let's talk about those last two, you chose Australia

because you've been there.

Volcanoes... Who knows, could be anything, couldn't it?

Do you think you're in with a chance?

I'm certainly in with a chance and I don't see why not. Yeah, absolutely.

David, for ?5,000... time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

David, this is the all-important final.

If you can achieve Perfection you could be leaving with a prize fund of ?5,000.

If you fail, you will be leaving with nothing,

which would be great news for the Usual Suspects as one of them

could be playing for a rollover of ?6,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

David, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the ?5,000.

Think carefully, there's no time limit and once you've given

an answer, your first answer, it will be locked in. Are you ready?

Yep. Let's reveal the first statement.

I know Strangeways is in Manchester.

Um... I'll go with false. False?

He must have been, surely.

True. True?

Lutetia... Why would that be Paris?

False. False?

Sounds bizarre, so it's probably true. True?

Now the subject you chose for yourself, Australia.

Well, Van Diemen's Land...was...

Is Tasmania, I think.

I'll go with...true. True?

And finally...

Arthur's Seat. True. True?

And with that, you've answered all the statements.

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

Which ones are you worried about? Most of them, sadly. Really?

I know F's right. The others were guesses.

Well, 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 David's answers.

David, your answers are locked in. 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.

So, David, who would you like to hear from first?

Let's hear from Craig.

I don't know much about any of these types of questions,

so I'm going to rule myself out straightaway,

but I wish you the best of luck, mate. Cheers, bud.

Whilst wishing you luck, what he fails to mention is that he was responsible for choosing

this set of questions that leave him so lost and in the dark.

Who would you like to speak to next? Sharon.

I'd really like to come and help you, to share, but I'm really

uncertain on this board and I can't help, I'm really sorry.

All right, Sharon's ruling herself out as well.

Perhaps Ken, you might get some change out of Ken. I'm sure we will.

To be honest with you, I think you have got some wrong there,

but there's quite a lot on there that I don't know,

I'd just be guessing, and I don't know enough about the subjects,

so I think I'm going to rule myself out, I'm sorry.

I wish you the best anyway. Thank you.

David, none of the Usual Suspects are prepared or willing to help,

so you're on your own. ?5,000 at stake, six answers away.

Maybe you've done it all on your own.

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

The one you said you're certain of is F, the one at the bottom.

Would you like to start at the bottom and go up?

Yeah, a bit of a positive start. Yeah?

We'll do it that way round. OK, start with F.

Edinburgh has an extinct volcano.

You said it's true, you even know its name.

Arthur's Seat, I think it is.

OK, is that true or false?

It is true, very well done.

APPLAUSE

And it is Arthur's Seat. Good knowledge.

Australia was once known as New Holland.

You know that Tasmania was known as Van Diemen's Land and on that basis

you thought therefore Australia may well have been called New Holland.

You said true, is it true or false?

It is true.

We go onto the next one - the plum is a member of the rose family.

You said this was highly unlikely, sounded ridiculous,

so therefore it must be true.

Good reasoning, is it true or false?

It is true.

Along with the pear, the apple and peaches are all members -

with the plumb - of the rose family, interestingly enough.

So, three out of three and halfway to the cash, that's good, isn't it?

Not a bad start, yep. The Roman town of Lutetia is now modern-day Paris.

You said this was false,

there's no reason you could think of that it would be Lutetia.

Is that true or false?

Yeah, I'm afraid that's true. AUDIENCE: Aw!

In fact, modern-day Parisians

actually have a name for it - Lutece.

So the name hangs on in some form in modern-day French,

but, yes, Lutetia was what the Romans certainly called it.

David, I'm afraid you haven't achieved Perfection.

As such, you won't be going home with any cash.

I wonder if you can still achieve Perfection at home -

let's go through the statements.

Sir Patrick Moore was once Astronomer Royal.

You said, well, surely he must have been at some stage,

so, you went with true. We need this to turn green, is it true or false?

No, that's false in actual fact.

Never held that office. You'd have thought he would. Mm.

And finally, Winson Green was a prison in Manchester.

You said Strangeways was in Manchester,

why would there be more than one well-known prison in Manchester?

So you said this was false. Is that true or false?

Yeah, it is false. In actual fact, it's in Birmingham.

So, looking at that, four out of six on a board where you only chose

one category for yourself, that's a pretty good result,

but not good enough to earn you some money.

Usual Suspects, good news for you,

the prize fund rolls over to the next game when one of you

could be down here playing for a total of ?6,000, very well played.

APPLAUSE

David, I'm afraid you failed to achieve Perfection,

which means you go home with nothing other than our thanks for playing. Enjoy the game?

Yes, thoroughly enjoyable. A great contestant. Let's hear it for David, everybody.

APPLAUSE Thank you.

Right, it's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect

hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

I'm Louise, I'm from Stockport

and I'm a business research administrator.

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

been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Sharon, it's you!

Please come and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Sharon, welcome to the game. Thank you. Your 11th game!

I know, I've been... You've been here ages!

Yeah, I've been really waiting for this one.

You've been on this show more than I have almost!

Which is actually what you'd like to do, isn't it?

You'd quite like to be a TV presenter? I'd love it.

If you want to step down now, I'm quite happy to take your place.

We can swap if you like and you can have a go, want a go? Go on, then, yeah!

You have a go. Stand there, I'll sit here and you can ask me a couple of questions, how's that? Go on. OK.

So, Nick... Yeah.

Welcome to the show. Thanks very much.

You're welcome. So what are your interests?

Oh, I have all kinds of interests. I like rugby, motorbikes, history... Yeah.

..all kinds of odds and ends, but I don't want to give too much away in case

the Usual Suspects get a view on what I know and what I don't.

Are you enjoying standing there? Yeah, excellent.

We can carry on, I can read your cues if you want?

Then I'd have to play the game and I'd rather you did that. She did very well there, don't you think?

APPLAUSE

And you've enjoyed being a Usual Suspect?

You've been quite a powerful force up there.

Well, yes, a force to be reckoned with as well.

And is that going to be the case now as you take on the Usual Suspects?

Oh, yes, I'm not taking any of their nonsense. I might not be there as their captain now,

but I'm still running the show, OK?! Well, that's the point, you see,

it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your team-mates and now they're very definitely your enemies.

Here's the good news - nobody's won the last five games,

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

APPLAUSE

What will you spend ?6,000 on if you win it? Our house needs new windows.

They're not cheap, are they? No, they're not.

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.

Cheerio for now.

OK, big deep breath... Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1, your 45 seconds start now.

It's a name I recognised, but I couldn't say for what,

so I'm just going to guess that one at true. True?

Sounds quite random, if I'm honest.

Um... I'll guess at false. False?

Keep an eye on the time. Um...true?

True. And finally...

That's true.

True? With time to spare you've actually answered all four.

How do you feel about that as a first round? Um...

Different from up there?

Cos having played ten games up there, is it very different

now being in the hot seat? Oh, a lot different, yeah.

Actually, I feel a little bit more relaxed, if I'm honest.

Before we reveal exactly how well you've done,

time for us to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Sharon's answers.

Craig, what do you think of those answers, has she made any mistakes?

Um... I don't think she has. I think she's done pretty well.

You think she's achieved Perfection? I would say she's got Perfection.

Interesting. Ken, can you see any mistakes there?

I honestly don't know B, but I think she has got Perfection.

Louise, can you pick any holes in those answers?

I don't think A is right. I think that's false.

OK, Sharon, 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.

Just one out of four!

Well, that's unexpected for you and I think it's fair to say

unexpected for the Usual Suspects as well.

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

They can now steal the round, or can they?

You need to change three answers, Usual Suspects, but which three?

So which one do we think she's got right? D is right.

We think D is right. And the other three are wrong? Yes.

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

A from true to false.

B from false to true. B from false to true.

And C from true to false.

And C from true to false, leaving D as answered by Sharon.

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

Primo Levi was a former Prime Minister of Italy - true or false?

Yeah, it is false in actual fact.

He was an Italian-Jewish chemist and writer, not Prime Minister.

A "truck" is the ball or cap on top of a flagpole - true or false?

Yeah, that's actually true.

Bradley Wiggins has won 38 Tour de France stages -

true or false?

Yeah, that's false in actual fact.

He's only won a few stages, despite winning the race in 2012.

The River Danube flows through four capital cities - true or false?

Absolutely true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Well, Sharon, you know how this feels,

they managed to succeed where you failed and they've stolen the round.

Appearing before you is your final board.

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

Here are your final category options, starting with Yoga,

running through Illnesses, Carnivals, Canada

and onto Film Themes with many more in between.

And because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you, they choose

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

So, Usual Suspects,

which two would you like Sharon to play in the final? Mythology?

And what about Parliaments?

Parliaments, I think that's a good one. Yes, I think so.

We'd like to do Mythology... Mythology goes across.

And Parliaments, please. And Parliaments goes into the final too.

Very well done, Usual Suspects, you won the first round.

We'll see you again in Round 2. In the meantime, cheerio.

So, with them gone, Sharon, we can have a little chat about those.

Mythology? I don't mind, really.

Parliaments? Not so hot.

Not so good?

Take a look at this list that's available here,

which two will you be choosing, given the opportunity?

Blackadder, I'd probably go for.

Yeah? And Film Themes.

OK, and two that you'd like to really avoid.

Lizards... SHE LAUGHS

Right. ..and The Ocean. And The Ocean.

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

You still have two rounds to find Perfection.

Are you ready to carry on? I am. Then let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

I believe that to be true. True?

I thought it was earlier, but I'm going to say true. True?

That's definitely false. False?

And finally...

Oh...

I'll guess at true on that one. True?

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

How was that then? Better than the first round, I think.

You think you're going to do better than first-time round?

Yes, I feel more confident on this one.

Before we reveal exactly how well you've done,

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So these are the four statements and next to them are Sharon's answers.

Let's start with Ken this time. What do you think of those answers?

I'm not sure about A.

I think she may have that one wrong,

and C - I'm not sure whether he had children or not.

Louise, what do you make of these?

I think Sharon's done pretty well, this time,

although I think B is false.

I think it was patented long before 1951.

Craig, what do you think of those answers? I would say A is wrong.

I've heard of a kumquat as a type of fruit,

but I've never heard of a loquat. OK, Sharon, the moment of truth.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four,

you said you thought you'd done better than Round 1. Yes.

And you did, but it's still not Perfection,

which means you have let the Usual Suspects back into the game.

You need to find the one to change, but which one?

I think a loquat might be a cross between a loganberry and a kumquat.

You think, yeah?

So do you think it is the safety pin then?

I think the safety pin is false. Yes, false. Yes, I do, cos...

Do you think we should change the safety pin? What do you think? Yes, I think so.

OK, so we're going to change B from true to false, please, Nick.

B - changed from true to false, leaving A, C and D

as answered by Sharon.

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

A loquat is a type of fruit - true or false?

Yeah, it's true, in actual fact.

The modern safety pin was patented in 1951 - true or false?

False, that's the one you were looking for, absolutely right.

Patented in 1849, and interestingly, Sharon, you said you thought

it was earlier and then actually went ahead with it and said true.

The actor Bradley Cooper is the son of Tommy Cooper -

that's one of my favourite questions ever asked on this programme -

is it true or false?

Yeah, it is false.

Of course, they are not related at all.

And Sydney Harbour Bridge is known as The Coathanger - true or false?

Yep, it's true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

Once again, Sharon, as the Usual Suspects have succeeded

where you failed, they've stolen the round. Let's see the final board...

Two subject categories occupying the final board at the moment,

chosen by the Usual Suspects,

and because you won that round you get to choose the next two as well.

Airlines would be quite a difficult one, do you think?

Definitely Airlines. Airlines, please, Nick. Airlines goes in.

Illnesses. Illnesses? Illnesses, OK. You happy with that? Yes.

I'll go with that, Louise. And Illnesses as well, please, Nick.

Illnesses goes in as well. OK, congratulations, Usual Suspects,

you've won the second round as well as the first.

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

if you can make a clean sweep of it.

So, Sharon. Well, Airlines?

Not the worst one they could have picked. Illnesses?

I've had a few.

Yeah, I suppose, you've had a few, I suppose there's a chance there.

OK, let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

True. True?

Was it Christian Bale? Oh, I think it's true.

True?

I haven't heard of one.

I'm not au fait with it, but I'll guess at false. False? And finally...

Again, another guess, but it's got to be false. False?

And good use of time again, you'd only a few seconds left.

How was that, is that a perfect round? No, far from it! You think?

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

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Sharon's answers.

Let's start with Ken this time. She has got one wrong.

Which one's that? D. The Festival of Britain was in 1951.

Interesting. Craig?

I think she's got one wrong, but it's B -

I don't think he actually does star in the film, so it's false.

OK, it's the moment of truth.

Let's find out exactly how many you have got correct.

Two out of four.

I'm afraid you haven't achieved Perfection and therefore you have

let your opponents, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

Can you steal this round, you need to change two?

She's got C right cos a felucca is a sailing boat. Right, OK.

And she's got D wrong

because it was in 1951.

And the ruins of Urquhart Castle definitely do overlook Loch Ness.

Yeah, and I'm pretty sure that Christian Bale isn't in the film,

so we need to change D to true, please, Nick.

D changes from false to true? Yeah.

And B from true to false.

And B from true to false? Yeah.

Leaving A and C as answered by Sharon.

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

The ruins of Urquhart Castle overlook Loch Ness - true or false?

Yep, it's true.

Christian Bale stars in the 2013 film Pacific Rim,

is that true or false?

That's false.

Idris Elba and Charlie Hunnam are in that film,

certainly not Christian Bale.

A felucca is a type of Arabic knife - true or false?

False, it's a traditional wooden sailing boat, as Ken said.

And the Festival of Britain took place in the 1950s,

is that true or false?

It's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

you have achieved Perfection.

And Ken, you were spot-on - 1951, the Festival of Britain -

so certainly in the 1950s.

Let's see the final board...

Four subject categories already chosen by the Usual Suspects

and it's a clean sweep now cos you get to choose the last two

as well cos you won that round.

Crown Jewels?

Yeah, sounds like a pretty hard one. And The Ocean? Yeah.

Well, I know nothing about Blackadder, so I wonder if she does.

Blackadder then? Yeah, OK. Yeah, you happy with that?

Right, we'll go Crown Jewels and Blackadder, please, Nick.

Thank you, Crown Jewels goes into the final and Blackadder joins it.

So, we now know our six final categories. They are...

Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off but we'll see you a bit later.

Well... That was a piece of luck, wasn't it?!

They literally moved from Oceans, which you said you didn't want,

straight to Blackadder, which you said you did want.

You watch now, I bet I'll be really...cross wires on this one.

Well, you can't say fairer than them

giving you one of the ones that you'd actually chosen.

Crown Jewels - are you any good on Crown Jewels? Not really, no!

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

APPLAUSE

Sharon, this is the all-important final.

If you can achieve Perfection you could be leaving with ?6,000.

Fail and you'll be leaving with nothing, which'd be great news for the Usual Suspects

cos one of them could be playing for a rollover of ?7,000 on the next game

and you don't want that to happen, do you?

No. Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Sharon, here are your final six categories.

Now, you must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the ?6,000.

Think carefully, there is no time limit,

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

So, are you ready? I am. OK, let's reveal your first statement.

I'm going to really kick myself

cos I know the Greek goddess of love.

Was it Vesta?

False. False?

Well, it sounds like it could be in Belgium.

True. True?

I went to Egypt on my honeymoon...

Oh...

False. False?

I've got a friend who knows a lot about the eyes.

And she'll be shouting at me right now.

True. True?

I think that's true. True?

And finally, the one you wanted, but they chose for you, Blackadder.

I'm not sure if it was Emma Thompson.

True. True?

And with that you've answered all six statements

and they're all locked in.

If there's a single mistake you leave with nothing, so which ones are you worried about?

All of them! Oh, really?

Pretty tough, yeah? Yeah, 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 Sharon's answers.

Sharon's answers are locked in. 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.

Sharon, who would you like to hear from first?

I'll go for Louise, please. I'm sure you've got three of those wrong.

So, does that mean you want to come and help?

I don't know if I'm confident enough to come and help. Possibly.

Possibly. OK, I'll let you ponder on that then, Louise. OK.

I'm going to move over to Craig, please.

I thought the categories that we picked for you were quite hard.

I can look at one of them and say that it's definitely wrong, but I wouldn't

be sure about any of the others,

so I'd be useless to you, I'm afraid.

So, you're ruling yourself out, Craig? I am, Nick, yes, sorry.

All right, thank you.

And Ken, please.

Well, I don't feel confident enough to come down and help you,

I wish I did, but I really don't. All right then. OK.

Louise, on the three that you think I've got wrong,

how sure of them are you?

I'm not 100%, Sharon,

so I'm going to decline the offer as well of coming down, thank you.

Not even if I swayed you a little bit with the money?

?6,000 at stake - are you making an offer?

I'd like to make you an offer. Say ?4,000, Louise?

That's interesting, isn't it, Louise? Mm.

It's a very, very good offer.

But I'm not confident enough on a couple of them.

OK, so you're ruling yourself out, are you? I am, thank you.

All ruling yourselves out, no matter how much money's available?

I'm sorry, yes. Sorry, Sharon.

It seems that negotiations are at an end, the Usual Suspects

aren't willing to help you, which means you are on your own.

?6,000 at stake, six answers away.

You could have done this all on your own. Maybe you have found Perfection.

All right, let's start at the top and work our way down, shall we?

Vesta was the Greek goddess of love.

Now, you said this was false because you know the Greek goddess of love.

You couldn't remember who it was, but you do know it and it didn't sound right.

Is that true or false?

Yes, it is false, very well done.

APPLAUSE

Aphrodite is the Greek goddess of love.

OK, the Riksdag is the parliament of Belgium.

You said this sounded like it might be true.

So, you went with true and you want this to turn green.

Is it true or false?

Yeah, I'm afraid it's false. AUDIENCE: Aw!

It's actually Sweden's parliament.

So, that means, Sharon, that you have not achieved Perfection

and you won't be taking any cash home.

Perhaps you can still achieve Perfection at home.

OK, El Al is the national airline of Egypt. You said that was false.

You went on honeymoon to Egypt, you don't remember El Al being the airline of Egypt.

Is it true or false?

It is false, very well done.

It's Israel's national carrier, in actual fact.

Bright's Disease primarily affects the eyes.

You said you know someone who will be shouting at the screen.

Let's find out which way they were shouting -

with excitement or disappointment?

You said true. True or false?

Yeah, in actual fact that's false.

It's a disease of the kidneys.

Mm. The Crown Jewels are on display in Tower Bridge.

You said straightaway this is true. You more confident of this one? Yes.

Is it true or false?

Yeah, it's false.

Not at Tower Bridge, at the Tower of London. Oh, No!

Oh, see, I didn't think that one through, did I?

No, you saw "tower" and went for it straightaway.

In actual fact, Tower Bridge is the bridge that crosses the Thames,

next to the Tower of London where they keep the Crown Jewels.

And finally, Emma Thompson played Queenie in Blackadder II.

You went for true in the end, is that true or false?

Yeah, I'm afraid that's false as well.

Miranda Richardson. Oh.

Louise thought three were wrong, in fact there were four wrong,

so if Louise had come down, she might well still have been

in difficulty and not gone home with the money.

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 ?7,000.

APPLAUSE

Sharon, I'm afraid you failed to achieve Perfection.

You go home empty-handed other than with our thanks.

You've been the most fantastic person,

11 games you've played with us. It was, yep.

Did you enjoy the whole process? Yeah, it's been absolutely fantastic.

And still makes you want to be a TV presenter? Definitely, yeah.

Lovely, thank you very much. Let's hear it for Sharon, everybody. APPLAUSE

Well, that's all we have time for.

Please join us next time when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play again.

This time for ?7,000.

But remember, it's very tough to win this one

and we will only pay for absolute Perfection.

Goodbye, see you soon.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
