Episode 39 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz show that demands Perfection.

Four contestants will be hoping their knowledge is flawless,

because one 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 are in our isolation room.

In a moment we will find out which one has been randomly selected to join me to play Perfection.

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

For example, if I said...

..would you say that was true or false?

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

Answering true or false might seem easy

but if the contestant gets a single answer wrong, their opponents,

the Usual Suspects,

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

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

I'm Mary, I'm from West Sussex, I'm a funeral coordinator

and this is my first game.

I'm Chris, I'm from Somerset, I'm a bookbinder

and this is my first game.

I'm Sherri, I'm from the Isle of Wight,

I'm a bus driver and this is my second game.

I'm Louise, I'm from Stockport, I'm a business research administrator

and this is my fourth game.

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

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

Sherri, it's you. Please come and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

-Sherri, welcome to the game. So you're a bus driver.

-I am, yes.

-On the Isle of Wight.

-Yes, I've been doing it for six years.

Do you like it? Do you meet interesting people?

I meet a lot of different people, yeah.

There's one in particular?

-Er...

-Your husband?

-Oh, yes, my husband!

-Yes, I did meet him driving...

-Remember him?

-You met him whilst driving the bus.

-Yes.

And he introduced you to a big hobby that you're into now.

He introduced me to motorbikes, yes.

He had a bike and I got on the back of that and I thought,

-"I'll have a go at this."

-One extreme to another, from buses to motorbikes.

-Yeah. From huge buses down to motorbikes.

-It's you versus the Usual Suspects.

Your team-mates, now your enemies. Their job is to stop you winning the prize fund because 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.

Great news for you, no-one has won the last eight games

so the prize fund currently stands at £9,000.

APPLAUSE

What have you got your eye on for the money?

Well, a nice holiday away would be good,

and my daughter is at university and...

I've spent it 100 times over.

Good luck. Here's how the game works - you'll play three rounds and then a final.

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

But if your performance is less than perfect, the Usual Suspects

can steal the round from you, making the final that much harder.

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

Sherri, each round consists of four true or false statements.

You'll be answering against the clock. You only have 45 seconds and once you give an answer,

your first answer, it will be locked in.

-Yes.

-Ready?

-Yes.

-Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1, your 45 seconds starts now.

I know it's a liquid, to start off with.

-Um... I'll say true.

-True.

I know it's somewhere in America.

-I'll say yes. True.

-True.

-Thank you very much.

-Sorry.

-I'll say true.

-True. And finally...

I believe it's in Africa, so I'll say false.

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

How does it feel being down here rather than up there?

Is it more tense, or is it more tense being a Usual Suspect?

-I think it's more tense here.

-And tougher?

-Yeah, tougher.

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

to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

are Sherri's answers.

Louise, has she achieved Perfection?

Nick, I believe she has achieved Perfection.

Ooh! Chris, can you see anything wrong with those answers?

I'm not sure about C.

If he did appear in it it was a very small cameo role.

-Have you seen the film?

-No, I haven't.

-Ah.

OK, Mary, what do you think?

I think she has achieved Perfection.

Vote of confidence, Sherri. The moment of truth -

you need to answer all four statements perfectly. Let's see how many are correct.

APPLAUSE Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Congratulations, Sherri, you have achieved Perfection!

What a fantastic sound that came out of you.

Sorry about that. I was trying to keep it in.

You're excitable, aren't you? When I asked you to come down and play you went, "Weh-hey!"

That's what it's like on my bus. LAUGHTER

For you, and all the passengers going...

-Yeah.

-Fantastic. Let's go through those answers in more detail.

Mercury is solid below -40 degrees.

You said that was true. We now know that it is...

Palm Springs is a city in California.

You said that was true and it is of course...

Russell Crowe appears in the 2013 film Man Of Steel, true or false?

We know that is...

Not a cameo part, actually. He's in it quite a lot, Chris.

But then seeing the film makes it easier to decide how

much of a part he has.

Libya is a country in Asia and you said false and it is of course...

It's a country in Africa, exactly as you said.

So very well played, Sherri.

After that perfect performance you make winning the prize fund a lot easier and here's how.

Appearing before you is your final board.

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

Here are your final round category options.

Because you won the round

you can choose two categories

to add to the board. Which two would you like?

I'd like the Human Body.

Human Body goes into the final.

And the 1960s.

1960s goes into the final as well.

-Well, Usual Suspects, you didn't get a look in.

-ALL: No!

She's looking very strong.

I wonder whether you will get a look in in Round Two.

In the meantime, cheerio. And away they go.

Now the Usual Suspects have gone we can have a chat

about that list. Which two do you desperately want to avoid?

-Greek, MPs.

-Which two will you be choosing next, given the chance?

Action Heroes, Cheggers?

Could that be about Keith Chegwin?

You'll have to wait and find out. Well, you've made a fantastic start.

If you carry on like that you get to choose all your own categories

and make the final easier for you.

-Ready to continue?

-Yes.

-Then let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Um...

I think maybe he was later

-so I'll say false.

-False.

Hmm... Er, I don't think so,

-I'll say false.

-False.

I would have thought so,

-I'll say true.

-True. And finally...

I believe he was, yes.

-True.

-True. Thank you very much.

You've answered all four statements and again seemed very strong.

-Are you enjoying yourself?

-I am now, after the first round.

It gives you some confidence, doesn't it,

winning a round like that and getting Perfection?

-Are you in with a chance here?

-Yeah, well, I know stuff!

-That's not such a surprise, is it?

-It is!

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

to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, here are the four statements

and next to them are Sherri's answers.

Let's start with Chris this time.

What do you think of these answers?

-Has she done it again?

-I think she might have.

I'm not sure I would change any of those, to be fair.

Louise, surely you can find a mistake, can't you?

I don't think she's got Perfection. I think B is true.

Sherri, the moment of truth, let's find out how many you got correct.

Three out of four. Not Perfection this time.

Not a bad score but not quite Perfection.

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

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

You need to change one, but which one?

What do you think, B?

-Yes.

-That's the one you flagged up.

OK, can we change B from false to true, please?

B changes from false to true,

leaving A, C and D as answered by Sherri.

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

Len Hutton was a 19th-century English cricketer, true or false?

That is false. He is a 20th-century cricketer.

1937 to 1955 he played for England.

Potatoes contain nicotine, true or false?

True actually, yes. Absolutely right, Louise.

A very tiny amount - 7.1 nanograms per gram.

10 Downing Street is accessible from number 11, true or false?

That is true. You know where this is going, Usual Suspects.

Terry Jones was a member of Monty Python, true or false?

True. Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Sherri, the Usual Suspects have nicked the round off you.

They can make life more difficult for you in the final.

Usual Suspects,

because you won the round you choose the next two categories. Let's look at the board.

It's currently occupied by two categories chosen by Sherri,

but because you won that round

you get to choose the next two. Which do you fancy?

-Cheggers?

-Cheggers.

OK, Cheggers goes into the final. And?

I think Units would be good.

Units, please.

Units goes into the final as well.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

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

You wanted Cheggers.

-I probably would have picked Units as well.

-They've done you a favour!

You don't need to win the round if they are going to do it for you.

-LAUGHTER

-You can't guarantee that, though, because if they win

the next round they may pick something you really don't want. Ready?

Yes.

Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 35 seconds start now.

Um...

-I'll say true.

-True.

I've heard of Running The Bulls.

-I'll say it's true.

-True.

-I don't think so. I'll say false.

-False.

-I think that's true.

-True.

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

You don't spend a lot of time iffing and butting about stuff.

Well, there's a thing going down with the time! LAUGHTER

-True... But it seems to be working for you, the technique.

-Panic.

-The technique you're using at the moment is panic.

-Completely, yes.

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

Usual Suspects,

these were the four statements

and next to them Sherri's answers.

Mary, what do you think of these?

I think she's done really well.

I'm not sure about A,

but I know the other three

are probably right.

Chris, can you see anything wrong

with these answers?

A as well,

-I might change that.

-Sherri, the moment of truth.

You need to answer all four statements perfectly to win the round.

Let's see how many are right.

Three out of four again

but not quite Perfection.

Once again, you let the Usual Suspects into the game.

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

You only need to change one.

-Which one?

-I think A.

-Mary?

-I'm not sure about A.

-No.

I think the others are OK.

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

Thank you very much.

Change A from true to false, leaving B, C

and D as answered by Sherri.

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

Hidalgo is a breed of wild horse, true or false?

It is false. You found the one you needed to change.

It's a member of the lower nobility in Spain, in actual fact.

The Running Of The Bulls takes place in Pamplona, true or false?

We know that of course to be true.

Wayne Rooney was born in Birmingham, true or false?

That's false, he was born in Croxteth, in Liverpool.

Geoffrey de Havilland was famous for designing planes, true or false?

It is true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

Well, Sherri, the Usual Suspects have succeeded again

and nicked the round off you.

Let's see the final board.

Four subject categories chosen,

two by Sherri,

two by the Usual Suspects, but it's

about to be weighted in your favour.

Because you won that round you get to choose the next two subjects.

Which would you like?

-How about Greek?

-I was looking at Greek.

Put Greek across, please.

Greek goes into the final. And?

-Space Travel?

-Space Travel.

Space Travel goes into the final.

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

Well played, Usual Suspects.

We'll switch you off for now and see you later. Bye-bye.

-Greek?

-No, thank you.

-No.

You said you didn't want that one.

-Space Travel.

-I'll give it a bash.

-You've got no choice at this stage!

-LAUGHTER

You're going to have to. Sherri, for £9,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

This is the all-important final.

If you can achieve Perfection you could leave with a prize fund of £9,000.

If you fail you leave with nothing, great news for the Usual Suspects, as one of them

could be playing for a rollover of £10,000 in the next game.

Let's play the Final Round.

Sherri, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six correctly

to win the £9,000. Think carefully.

No time limit but once you've given an answer,

your first answer is locked in.

-Ready?

-I am ready.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

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

Human Body.

Um...

That must be right because... mastication is chewing, isn't it?

-So I'll say true.

-True.

1960s.

Erm, I think Radio Caroline was broadcast from a ship

-so I'll say false.

-False.

Cheggers.

Can't imagine he's got the best voice.

Maybe it was some sort of, uh, charity single or something,

-I'll say true.

-True.

Units.

A peck is in a tongue-twister, a-pick-a-peck-a...something or other.

-So it must be a unit of volume, I'll say true.

-True.

Greek.

Erm, I'll say true.

True, and finally Space Travel.

I think I'll go...

I'll say false.

-False.

-I've got to say one or the other.

And with that, you've answered all six statements so

those answers are now locked in and remember, if there's one single

mistake, you leave with nothing, so which ones are you unsure of?

The last one, the rest of them I think I haven't done too bad on.

You seemed quite confident.

All right, let's bring back the Usual Suspects to see what

they've got to say.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and next to them are Sherri's answers.

Sherri, your answers are now 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. However,

this will come at a cost.

Usual Suspects, I'm now going to ask you to tell me

how well you think Sherri has done, if you want to help,

and, if you do, how much it will cost.

Sherri, who would you like to hear from first?

I'd like to hear from Louise, please.

I think you've done really well

but I can categorically state you've definitely got one wrong.

-And what does that mean?

-It means that I would come down for £5,000.

Well, of your £9,000, that's an early pitch-in there from Louise who

would like to take £5,000 off you to come

and help you out cos she thinks you've got one wrong.

I'll hear from Mary, please.

You've done really well, there are two there that I'm not sure of

-so I won't offer my help this time.

-Chris, come on then.

I don't think you've got Perfection

but I'm not confident enough to change a couple of them so I'm out.

So, Chris is out so the question you have to decide now is do you

want someone to help you?

Louise is making an offer,

she wants £5,000 of the £9,000 prize fund that you've got.

There was only one that I wasn't 100% sure on.

How about if we go half each?

-4,500?

-No, I'd only come down for five.

Oh, I don't know, shall I just go for it?

SHE SIGHS

-OK, Louise, you can have 5,000.

-Thank you.

-So, negotiations are completed.

Louise, for £5,000 of the £9,000 on offer, please come down and join us.

APPLAUSE

OK, Sherri, you've asked Louise for help.

If you achieve Perfection,

it will cost you £5,000 of your £9,000 prize fund.

Louise, you've now lost your chance to play in the next game.

This is your only shot at winning Perfection.

Have you made the right decision? I think we're about to find out.

Just before you start and say hello, Louise, a very specific amount.

Is there something you want to buy for £5,000?

I've just recently uncovered my two long-lost cousins so it would pay...

So, basically, you knew £5,000 was the amount you needed?

One's in Michigan and one's in Florida.

-All right, say hello, you have a lot to talk about.

-Hi, Sherri.

-Hello.

-Which was the one that you weren't sure on?

-Well, it was two actually.

-The Keith Chegwin one and the Neil Armstrong one.

-OK.

The rest of them I think I've got.

OK, well, I think A is wrong because I think mastoid process is a bone.

It's attached to your temporomandibular joint

and mastication's the body's way of making saliva.

-I've got a degree in speech therapy so...

-Oh, of course.

So you'd like to change that one?

-I would change that one.

-A from true to false, is that right?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-OK, A changes from true to false.

-I'm positive about the second one.

Are you?

Well, it was a pirate radio station, wasn't it? It was off a boat, then.

Peck is a unit of volume, that's true.

Gamma is a letter of the Greek alphabet, that's true.

-That is true, is it?

-Yeah.

Again, I'm not sure on the Apollo 11. I think that might be true.

-You think?

-Cos you were tentative on that one, weren't you?

-Well, I was thinking of that film with...

-Tom Hanks?

Tom Hanks and they all got into trouble and that was Apollo 13,

-wasn't it?

-Yeah.

-So, they didn't actually land on the moon so...

Now, I'm getting myself all confused.

Wasn't necessarily his first space flight, was it?

-No, he probably would've been before, wouldn't he?

-Yeah.

So, shall we go for true on that one? Could've been.

I think Apollo 11 was when he first landed on the moon, it wasn't

-necessarily his first space flight.

-I see, yeah, yeah.

So that would stay as you've put it, wouldn't it?

We'll leave it like that, yeah.

We need to decide on that Keith Chegwin one, don't we?

-If that was your gut instinct...

-That was my gut instinct, yes.

-And I'm not sure...

-You just don't know.

-No, no. So...

-I would swing more towards true, yeah.

-OK.

-I think we're done.

-So, you'd like to lock in all the other answers as they are?

-Yes.

Lock them all in, please. And there they go.

What have I done?

Your answers are now locked in, £9,000 at stake,

£4,000 for Sherri and £5,000 to Louise, six answers away.

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

Good luck with it and let's see how we go.

I think it's all about A and F.

So let's find out straightaway whether, Sherri,

it was a good idea to invite Louise down to help you or

whether Louise has managed to turn you away from a winning card.

The mastoid process is the body's way of making saliva.

Now, Sherri, you said that you thought this was true.

Louise, however, came down and said she knows that the mastoid

process is a bone behind the ear so we need this to turn red.

If it turns green, you've lost straightaway

and the money rolls over for the Usual Suspects.

If it turns red, you're well on your way.

It's a big one, this, isn't it? Is it true or false?

It is false.

APPLAUSE

It is, I'm using the technical expression here, the bony,

sticky-out bit behind the ear.

So, that's a very exciting start.

I said it was all about the first and the last but

there are a number in-between as well.

In the 1960s, Radio Caroline broadcast from Wales.

Sherri, you thought this was false.

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

It is false.

APPLAUSE

Radio Caroline was broadcast from two ships, one in the North Sea

and one near the Isle of Man.

Keith Chegwin has sung on a UK Top 20 single.

Now, Sherri, you thought this might be true.

You need this to turn green.

If it does turn green, you are halfway to the money.

Is it true or false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

He sang on a single called I Want to Be A Winner,

it got to number 15, with Noel Edmonds and Maggie Philbin.

So, let's move on. A peck is a unit of volume.

You said this was true, Sherri.

Louise thought it was true as well

so you were both happy with true, you're expecting this to turn green.

Is it true or false?

Yes, it is true.

DROWNED OUT BY APPLAUSE

You felt very sure of that one

and to be fair, you felt very sure of the next one as well, didn't you?

Gamma is a letter in the Greek alphabet.

Sherri, you said this was true, both fairly confident on this one.

We're expecting this to turn green and if it does,

you're just one away from the £9,000.

Gamma is a letter in the Greek alphabet, is that true or false?

It is true.

APPLAUSE

-I can't bear it.

-The third letter of the Greek alphabet.

So, now, we come to the one that really troubled you

and you thought about for a long time.

Apollo 11 was Neil Armstrong's first space flight.

You thought this was the one where he landed on the moon.

Surely, that couldn't be his first flight in space, you thought.

-Logically.

-Or could it?

Apollo 11 was Neil Armstrong's first space flight.

You said false, Sherri. Louise agreed it was false.

You need this to turn red.

Is it true or false, for £9,000?

It's false.

Congratulations, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Yes, you've won yourselves £9,000.

You're taking away £4,000, Sherri, £5,000 to you, Louise.

Thank you so much.

Let's just clear that up quickly.

He was Command Pilot of Gemini 8 in 1966

so he had flown in space previously.

Well, what an amazing result that is. You looked absolutely shocked.

Sherri, £4,000, what are you going to spend that on?

-So many things, I suppose.

-So many things.

I've got so many things at home, everybody wants this and that

-and the other.

-Never mind them, what about you?

-I want to go on holiday...

-Come to Florida with me.

-Come to where?

-Florida with me.

-Is that where you're off to?

-To see the cousins.

Well, £5,000 for you, Louise. How long since you've seen your cousins?

-45 years.

-Wow.

-And, now, you're going to get to go and see them?

-Yeah, yeah.

-Wow, that's pretty amazing.

-It's fantastic.

-AUDIENCE: Awww.

I can see how emotional you are, it's getting me going as well.

Well, look, Usual Suspects, unfortunately for you,

the prize fund has been won

so we reset the total back to £1,000 for our next game, but you have

-to say, they played very well there, they worked it out between them.

-Very well.

Congratulations, Sherri and Louise, you have achieved Perfection

and you leave with £9,000 between you.

Fantastic.

APPLAUSE

Right, we've got to pull ourselves back together because it's now

time to meet the next Usual Suspects hoping to play Perfection today.

Usual Suspects, please introduce yourselves.

I'm Kevin from Ashford and I'm a project engineer on a railway.

I'm Jan, I'm from Sheffield and I'm a performance assessment officer.

Welcome to Kevin and Jan and best of luck to all of you as we now

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

Kevin, it's you. Please come and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

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

-You're quite a keen sportsman?

-Yeah, I do a lot of sport.

Enjoyed your running in your time?

Enjoyed my running, swimming, cycling.

-And you do a lot of voluntary work, don't you?

-Yeah, I do, yes.

-I'm a volunteer for St John Ambulance service.

-OK.

Well, with a busy work life and home life,

why did you decide to get involved with that?

I'm very interested in first aid and I thought I'd just help out

other people, go out and do something different.

Well, that's a fantastic thing to do, good for you. Isn't that nice?

When people actually pitch in their own time to help other people out.

-APPLAUSE

-Well done, Kevin.

They're not going to help you out,

it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your team-mates, only briefly, straight in, straight out.

They're now your enemies. Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Now, unfortunately for you, the previous game was won

but it means that the prize fund is reset to £1,000,

which is still a very nice amount of money.

Come in, play a game, walk away with £1,000,

-what do you spend it on if you do?

-Holiday.

Have you got somewhere special that you've always wanted to go?

I'd like to save up to go to the Maldives so that would be a nice,

little lump sum towards it.

-Take anyone with you?

-Just the wife.

-What do you mean, "just the wife"?

LAUGHTER

You've just dug yourself a hole, haven't you?

All right, good luck, three rounds and a final to come.

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

but as soon as Kevin makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game. Cheerio.

-Kevin, you ready?

-Yeah.

-Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1, your 45 seconds starts now.

-Er, I'll say it's false.

-False.

-That's definitely false, that was about nurses.

-False.

-Yep.

-No, that's false as well, it's public house.

-False and finally...

I'd...

I would go true.

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

-That felt quite good.

-Yeah, it's good to pass something off, isn't it?

-Getting away with it, is that what you're saying?

-Yeah.

Yeah, you seemed fairly confident on the pub one though.

-Have you had some experience?

-Only a little, of course.

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

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So these were the four statements and next to them

are Kevin's answers.

Chris, has he achieved Perfection?

I think he has,

-I'm not 100% sure about A but I think he's done very well there.

-OK.

-Mary, what do you think?

-I'm the same.

I think that B, C and D are good but I'm not sure about A either.

Jan, can you see anything wrong with those?

No, I think he's got Perfection, he's done well there.

Kevin, 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.

Congratulations, Kevin, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Well, that's a cracking start, isn't it?

-That's excellent, must know better.

-Yeah.

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

So, all ants have ten eyes, we know that now to be false.

In fact, some ants have no eyes at all.

The 1970s BBC series Angels was about clergymen,

-you said that was false because it was about...

-Nurses.

So, we now know that to be false and it was about nurses.

The word "pub" is short for "public convenience".

Now, you said you had very little experience in this area

but nonetheless you felt that that was false and it is false

-because it stands for...?

-It stands for "public house".

Public house, absolutely right.

And jerky is a form of dried meat, you said that was true

and it is, of course, true.

Beef jerky and things like that. So very well done.

Kevin, as a result of that perfect performance,

you've made winning the prize fund a lot easier. Here's how.

Appearing before you is your final board,

these blank spaces need to be filled with categories.

Here are your Final Round category options starting with Gophers

and on to 2013 Films with many more in-between.

Now, because you won the round,

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

add to the board, so which two would you like to choose first?

I'd like to go for Sports, please.

An obvious choice for me. And I'd like to go for Rock.

And Rock also goes into the final, so, very well played.

Usual Suspects, you didn't really get a look in there.

We'll see you in Round 2 where you might get a look in then. Cheerio.

Right, now they've gone and they can't hear us, let's have a

little chat about that list. So which two would you like to avoid?

Er, 2013 Films for definite and probably French.

Which two would you choose if you get another chance?

I'd probably go for the Queen and Westerns.

All right then, well, Kevin, you've made a great start to the game.

All you have to do is achieve Perfection again

and you get to choose your own subjects. Shall we play on?

-We shall.

-Let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-Having never seen it but I've heard of it, I would say true.

-True.

-I'd go for false.

-False.

-Yes, true.

-True. And finally...

-False.

-False, and again with time to spare, you've answered all four

-and you looked confident again.

-Yeah.

-You felt good about that lot?

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

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

Well, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements and next to them are

Kevin's answers. Mary, are you going

to get a look in this time?

I think he has got Perfection.

I think he's got all of them right.

Jan, what do you think, are you going to get a chance here?

I think it might be Perfection again.

The only one I'm unsure about is A,

I've never heard of the film

so that's a possibility.

Well, Kevin, let's find out

how many are correct.

Three out of four. Not bad.

But not quite Perfection

and that means the Usual Suspects are in the game.

Although they appear to be a bit in the dark about what

they need to change. You do need to change one answer, but which one?

Brad Pitt is definitely in World War Z.

We know D is definitely correct

because Bank Holiday Friday

and so on.

Appalachian Mountains run through New York state.

-It could be true.

-I think that is true.

-So are you happy with five as a prime number?

-Yes.

A prime number is divisible by itself and one only.

-It's got to be B then, hasn't it?

-It's got to be B.

We'll change B to true, please, Nick.

B changes from false to true, leaving A, C

and D as answered by Kevin.

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

Brad Pitt stars in the 2013 film

World War Z. Is that true or false?

Yes, that is true.

The Appalachian Mountains

run through New York state,

is that true or false?

That's true.

Well played, Usual Suspects, you know

where this is going.

Five is a prime number. True or false?

Definitely a prime number.

Very good explanation by Chris there of what a prime number is.

And bank holidays always fall on a Monday, true or false?

False. Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

you have achieved Perfection.

Good Friday, Boxing Day, New Year's Day are good examples of

bank holidays that don't always fall on a Monday.

Well, the Usual Suspects have stepped in

and succeeded where you failed and stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, because of that you now have the opportunity

to make Kevin's chances of winning the prize fund of £1,000 harder.

Let's see the final board.

Two subject categories chosen by Kevin,

but because you won that round, you get to choose the next two.

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

Anyone know anything about gophers?

Not really, no.

Gophers is good.

Yeah - we'll go for Gophers, please.

Gophers goes into the final.

What about Russians?

Russians and Gophers.

-Russians?

-Russians is good.

-Russians, please, as well.

Russians goes into the final.

Thank you and congratulations - well played, you won Round 2.

We'll switch you off, see you in Round 3.

They asked the question "Does anyone know anything about gophers?"

-Go-pher a drink?

-Go-pher a drink - back to the pub again!

Russians?

Uh...there's a few famous Russians I've heard of.

All right. Well, they're going to make it difficult for you

so you've got to take control of the subjects,

otherwise they'll try and tuck you up.

-OK, let's go.

-Let's play Round 3.

Your 45 seconds start now.

-False.

-False.

-False.

-False.

-True.

-True. And finally...

-False.

-False.

You seem very sure about that.

No - not now!

Before we reveal how well you've done,

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements,

next to them are Kevin's answers.

Jan, has he achieved Perfection this time?

I think he has. I'd go with every one of those.

Yes, Perfection.

Chris, can you find something wrong with the answers?

Not in that bunch, no.

-Really? Mary?

-Perfection this time, Nick.

White flag being waved there by the Usual Suspects.

The moment of truth - you need to have answered

all four statements perfectly to have won.

They think you have four out of four.

How many are correct?

Congratulations, Kevin. You have achieved Perfection.

Well, let's go through them in detail.

Have a look at those answers.

HE READS QUESTION A

You said that was false. It is of course false.

-He was the first president of Zambia.

-That's right.

HE READS QUESTION B

You went for false, and it is...false.

It was by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis.

HE READS QUESTION C

We now know that's true.

HE READS QUESTION D

You got yourself in a pickle with this.

Finally went for false.

And it is, of course...false,

because without the tomato juice,

it's a vodka, is what it is.

Had to think about that.

A Virgin Mary is a Bloody Mary without the vodka in it,

so you were right to say false. Very well done.

As a result of that perfect performance,

you made winning the prize fund a lot easier.

Let's have a look at your final board.

You chose the first two.

The Usual Suspects chose the second lot of two

and now, because you won that round,

you get to choose the last two to make up the six.

Which two would you like?

-I'd like to go for Westerns.

-Westerns goes in.

-I'll go for Old Cars.

-And Old Cars goes into the final.

We now know our six final categories - they are...

Time to switch off the Usual Suspects

for the last time.

Maybe you'll have something to do later - maybe not.

Kevin, for £1,000, time to play the final.

This is the all-important final -

if you can achieve Perfection, you could be leaving with £1,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing -

good news for the Usual Suspects, as one of them could be playing

for a rollover of £2,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

Kevin, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements if you want to win -

think carefully.

There's no time limit, but once you've given your first answer,

it's locked in - are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

Please say whether you believe it's true or false.

Sports...

I'll say that's true.

-True.

-True, that's true.

Rock...

-I'll go for that's true.

-True.

Gophers...

-I'll go for false, that one.

-False.

Russians...

-That's false, that one.

-False.

Westerns...

We'll go for true for that one.

True.

And finally, Old Cars...

-False.

-False.

And with that, you've answered all six,

they're locked in.

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

-Yeah.

-Which ones are you worried about?

-Rock - I'm not keen on U2.

-I'm happy with about three of them.

-Happy with three?

-Yeah.

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

Usual Suspects, you can see the final six statements

and, next to them, Kevin's answers.

Kevin, they're locked in, you can't change them by yourself.

But you can unlock the board with the Usual Suspects' help.

This will, however, come at a cost.

Who would you like to hear from first?

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

I think you've done really well.

There are two I'm not sure of in that list.

Are you prepared to help?

-Um...no, not that sure, Nick.

-OK.

Jan, please.

I'm pretty confident you haven't got Perfection

but it's not enough money to come down.

-There, I've said it.

-Thanks, Jan.

-Chris.

-You can go for it, Kevin.

LAUGHTER

Because it's not enough money. Good luck, my friend.

It's the wrong kind of good luck -

"Good luck, I don't think you'll make it,

"the money will roll over."

You can still prove them wrong - perhaps you've achieved Perfection.

None of the Usual Suspects are willing to help,

so you're on your own.

£1,000 at stake, six answers away.

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

Let's start at the top and make our way down.

HE READS QUESTION A

You said this was true.

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

Is it true or false?

It is true.

Well played, that's a good start. Let's move on.

HE READS QUESTION B

-This one you were worried about.

-Yeah.

You went for true.

You need this to turn green - is that true or false?

It is true. Well done.

That's good, you passed one you were worried about - let's press on.

The gopher is native to North America.

You were happy with this. You said false.

We need this to turn red -

if it does, you get halfway to £1,000 without anybody's help.

If it turns green, the money rolls over.

The gopher is native to North America -

true or false?

Oh!

I'm afraid that's true.

It is native to North America.

Kevin, you didn't achieve Perfection,

which means you leave with no cash on this occasion.

Can you achieve Perfection at home? Let's go through the rest -

it'll be interesting to find out how close you came to succeeding.

HE READS QUESTION D

You said this was false because...?

He was the leader of the Russian party.

So this should turn red - true or false?

It is false, very well done.

He was the leader of the USSR in the '70s and '80s.

HE READS QUESTION E

You said this was true. We'd like it to turn green.

True or false?

It's true.

HE READS QUESTION F

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

True or false?

It is false.

KEVIN LAUGHS

-Oh, dear...

-He went alphabetically.

The Model S Ford came before the Model T.

So look at that.

You only got one wrong in your other three rounds

and you only got one wrong in the final.

Two questions all the way through - that's a performance to be proud of.

It hasn't won you any money, unfortunately,

but you should go home very proud.

Usual Suspects, good news for you - it rolls over to the next game,

where one of you could be playing for a total of £2,000.

Kevin, you failed to achieve Perfection,

you leave with nothing

other than our thanks for playing such a great game.

Let's hear it for Kevin.

APPLAUSE

That is all we have time for.

Join us again next time, when our Usual Suspects

have the chance to play again, this time for £2,000.

Remember, five out of six isn't good enough.

As you saw in the first game, we will pay,

but only for absolute Perfection.

See you soon.
