Episode 4 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz show that demands nothing less than perfection.

These four contestants hope their knowledge is flawless

because one single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome to Perfection, the quiz show where only perfect play is good enough.

Behind me are the contestants, 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 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'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 mistake.

So, you know how the game works.

Let's meet the Usual Suspects.

I'm Emily, I'm from Helensburgh, I'm a nurse and this is my first game.

I'm Bob, I'm from Corsley, near Warminster in Wiltshire,

I'm a retired banker and this is my second game.

I'm Chris, I'm from Derby, I'm a waste management consultant

and this is my second game.

I'm Tara, I'm from Derbyshire,

I'm a human nutrition student and this is my fourth game.

Welcome and best of luck as we find out which one of you has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Emily, it's you! Please come down and play.

APPLAUSE

-Emily, welcome to the game.

-Thank you.

-You're a nurse, one of the great professions.

You people don't get nearly enough credit for the work you do. I'm a big fan of nurses, always have been,

and for the right reasons, too. That sounded terribly dodgy.

Emily, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects. They were your teammates, very briefly,

they're now your enemies. Their job is to stop you winning the prize fund

because your failure will mean the prize money rolls over

and one of them could be sitting here playing for a bigger total. You wouldn't want that.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Nobody's won the last two games so the prize fund currently stands at £3,000.

APPLAUSE Very good.

£3,000, very handy cash. What would you be spending it on if you walked out of here with £3,000?

When I asked my children what they thought I should do with the money,

they said we could go to America and do white water rafting down the Colorado River,

-so I think £3,000 would go towards that.

-Well, good luck with that.

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

Every round you achieve perfection, the final will get easier. However, anything less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects will have the chance to step in and steal the round, making the final harder.

More of that a bit later. Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off for now

so you can't see or hear anything. See you soon.

Away they go. Now, when they're in silhouette like this,

-you can talk through your answers without giving away any vital knowledge, OK?

-OK.

Each round has four true or false statements, answered against the clock.

-You'll get 45 seconds. Once you've given your answers, your first answer, they'll be locked in.

-OK.

-Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-Then let's get started and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round one. Your 45 seconds start now.

Well, I'm very sorry, I've never heard of Jessica Chastain.

-I'm going to say true.

-True.

Gangnam Style was very popular last year.

-I'm not sure if it was Japan. I'm going to say false.

-False.

He's in his 20s now so... Oh, I can't think.

-I'm going to say, erm, false.

-False.

Not great on history. I'm going to say false for that.

False. And with a little time to spare, you've answered all four.

-It buzzes along, doesn't it?

-Yeah. I don't like those questions.

-No.

-Didn't feel like a confident round?

No, absolutely not, no.

Before we reveal how you've done, let's bring back the Usual Suspects. They will be able to hear you.

So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements and next to them are Emily's answers.

-Tara, has she achieved perfection?

-Unfortunately not, no.

C, Andy Murray, he was definitely born in the 80s.

-Chris, what do you think?

-I absolutely agree.

I believe he was born in 1987, I think he's 25-ish now.

And I'm not 100 percent sure, but the Battle of Gettysburg,

-I would possibly change that one, as well.

-What are your thoughts, Bob?

We've got a full house on C.

Andy Murray was definitely born in the 1980s.

-And I'm not sure on the others, to tell you the truth.

-All right.

Emily, they don't think you've succeeded, but it is the moment of truth.

You need to answer all four perfectly to win the round. Let's see how many are correct.

-Oh, no!

-In fact, just one out of four,

which seems to have caught you all a little by surprise.

I'm afraid that isn't perfection so you've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

You have the possibility of stealing the round. You have to change three

-but which three?

-We're definitely going to change C and D.

Jessica Chastain, she's in Lawless.

I'm not sure. She could be American.

What about B, Gangnam. He's not Japanese, is he, Psy, so...

What do you reckon, A, C and D?

-OK, we're going to change A from true to false.

-A from true to false.

-C from false to true.

-C from false to true.

-And D from false to true.

-Leaving B as answered by Emily.

I'm just fascinated, Chris. Tell us more about Gangnam.

-# Oppan Gangnam style

-LAUGHTER

-Big fan there, obviously.

OK, Usual Suspects, let's find out the correct answers. If it turns green, it's true,

if it turns red, it's false.

Jessica Chastain is an Australian actress. Is that true or false?

It is false, and you're quite right, Tara, she's American.

Gangnam is a district of Tokyo. Is that true or false?

Yes, you're right, it is false.

It is a district of Seoul in South Korea,

hence the Gangnam Style of Chris's routine.

The tennis player Andy Murray was born in the 1980s.

Is that true or false?

Yeah, that's true, in actual fact.

Only just, though, 1987, so late 1980s.

And finally, Gettysburg was a battle in the US Civil War, true or false?

It's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

-Well, Emily, they've stolen the round.

-Yep.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity of making Emily's chances of winning the final harder.

This is your final board, Emily. These six blank spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are your final round options appearing.

If you had won the round, you could add two subject categories of your choice to the board,

but because the Usual Suspects stole the round,

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

So, Usual Suspects, which two do you fancy Emily playing in the final?

-I'm thinking Liverpool FC.

-Yep.

-LAUGHTER

And Aviation? That'd be quite a tricky one.

-So, Aviation, please.

-Aviation.

-And Liverpool FC.

-And Liverpool FC. Well done, Usual Suspects,

you've won the first round. It's time to switch you off

but we will see you in round two. Cheerio.

Well, now they can't hear us, let's have a chat about those two. Liverpool FC?

I thought they might go for that one. I must admit, I don't know anything at all about football.

-But it might surprise me.

-Pick me two that you'd like to choose of your own.

I would like to choose Food

and maybe Money.

And a couple you're quite keen to avoid.

Fantasy Fiction and Bridges.

-All right, then. Ready to go?

-Yep.

-Let's play round two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-Again, I don't know. I'm going to say false.

-False.

I think that's also false. I've got a funny feeling it might be Denmark

-that it's a dependency of.

-False.

-I don't think he was Roman. I'm going to say false again.

-False.

I know she's a singer and she's from Aberdeen.

Whether she's a lawyer or not... Er...

-False.

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

-They were all guesses.

-Were they really?

-Yeah.

-OK.

Well, it's a 50/50 game so you never know your luck. Before we reveal how well you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects. These were the four statements and Emily's answers.

-Bob, what do you make of those?

-Emily, I think you've done very well.

You've got the same answers I'd have put and I think you may have perfection.

-Chris, do you agree?

-Erm, I actually do, yeah.

I wasn't 100 percent sure on B.

I think it probably is independent. So I think she may have perfection.

Tara, can you find anything wrong with those answers?

The one for me was D. I would perhaps change from false to true.

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

-Oh.

-Three out of four. Again, not bad,

but unfortunately you haven't quite achieved perfection,

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

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

You need to change one, but which one?

I don't think Emeli Sande is old enough

to have qualified to do a law degree. Isn't she 19?

-No, she's in her 20s.

-Oh, right.

-I think Greenland is a dependency of Denmark.

-Oh.

-Right, OK.

Shall we change D, then?

-If you're happy with that, guys.

-I'm happy.

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

You changed D from false to true,

leaving A, B and C as answered by Emily.

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

"Reader, I married him" is a line from Jane Eyre. Is that true or false?

It's true!

Usual Suspects, you failed to achieve perfection.

Did you achieve perfection at home? Shall we find out? Let's carry on.

Greenland is a dependency of Canada. Is that true or false?

Yeah, it is false.

It is, in fact, part of the kingdom of Denmark.

Kublai Khan was a Roman Emperor. Is that true or false?

That is false. Of course, he was a Mongol ruler and emperor of China.

And finally, Emeli Sande is a qualified lawyer. True of false?

That's false. She did study medicine.

She was in her fourth year when she gave it up for music.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection, you could make Emily's chances in the final much harder.

Let's look at the final board.

Two categories in there, Aviation and Liverpool.

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

meaning four categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, could've done better there.

We'll see you in round three. Cheerio.

-So, if you're ready...

-Yep.

-..shall we continue?

-I'm ready.

Jolly good. Let's play round three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-Another guess. I'm going to say false.

-False.

-That is definitely true.

-True.

I know HG Wells wrote science fiction books.

-I don't think he wrote Day Of The Triffids, so false for that.

-False.

-I'm going to say false again. Unsure, but false.

-False.

With time to spare, you've answered all four. Sounded more confident.

I'm only certain of one, actually.

-Well, you carry off the confidence thing very well.

-Thank you.

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

Hello again. These were the four statements and Emily's answers.

So, Tara, perfection this time?

There's a couple that I'm unsure of so there's nothing I would change.

-Chris, would you answer similarly?

-I would definitely change D.

I'm sure he won an Oscar for 8 Mile.

-Bob, how are you on Eminem?

-Oh, yes, he's my favourite, yeah.

Love him, whoever he is, yes.

-What do you think?

-He's right, I would change D, as well,

from false to true.

All right, Emily, the moment of truth. You need to have answered all four correctly to win the round.

Three out of four is good, but you haven't quite achieved perfection

and as a result the Usual Suspects get a look in.

Can you take the round this time?

You need to change one of these answers, but which one?

I don't remember 8 Mile winning an Oscar, but if you two do...

-The other three are right.

-Are you sure?

-Definitely D.

He played for Yorkshire, Guatemala's in... And that's not that.

-So, yeah, definitely D.

-Eminem played for Yorkshire?

THEY LAUGH

OK, we're going to change D from false to true, please.

D changes from false to true,

leaving A, B and C as answered by Emily.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

The cricketer Geoff Boycott played for Lancashire. True or false?

It is, of course, false. Very famously, he played for Yorkshire

for about 24 years.

Guatemala is a country in Central America.

Is that true or false?

Yes, it's absolutely true.

The Day Of The Triffids is a book by HG Wells. True or false?

False. John Wyndham, in actual fact.

And so you know where this is going, Usual Suspects.

Eminem has won an Oscar. Is that true or false?

Yep, Bob's right, Chris is right, Tara's right.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

As you so rightly pointed out, he won the Oscar for best song for 8 Mile.

Emily, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed

and they've stolen the round. Usual Suspects,

here's your chance to make things really difficult. Let's take a look at the final board.

Two subject categories on there so far,

chosen by the Usual Suspects. And guess what.

The next four are all going that way, too.

So fire away. Which four would you like Emily to play in the final?

-Soldiers?

-Yeah.

-Soldiers goes into the final.

I think I'm going to say Fantasy Fiction.

-We'll have Fantasy Fiction as well, please.

-Lovely.

-And telephones, please.

-Telephones.

-Telephones goes into the final.

-And Danny Dyer, please.

-Oh, no.

-And Danny Dyer goes into the final.

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

OK, guys, very well played. It's time to switch you off for the final time. Cheerio.

Let's have a talk about those. Soldiers? Fantasy Fiction?

-Not keen.

-Telephones. Danny Dyer.

Are you aware of Danny Dyer's body of work?

I've only heard of him very, very recently.

-As in the last few seconds?

-As in the last hour or so, yes.

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

APPLAUSE

This is the all-important final. If you can achieve perfection,

you could be leaving with a prize fund of £3,000. If you fail, you'll leave with nothing,

which is great news for the Usual Suspects as one of them could play for £4,000 on the next game.

It would be particularly nice, given how they've tucked you up on this so far...

-That's right.

-..if you could walk away with the £3,000

-and reset them to £1,000.

-That would be good.

-So let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Emily, here are your final six categories. They are...

You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £3,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit,

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

-OK.

-You ready?

-Yep, I'm ready.

-Good. Let's reveal your first statement.

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

Hm. That would mean it's been going for... 60-odd years.

-I think I'm going to say true for that.

-True.

One of the few things I do know about Liverpool Football Club

is that they wear red or red and white. Erm...

-It's just going to be a guess. I'm going to say false.

-False.

I'm sure the Red Baron was a chap in a plane.

Field Marshal Rommel... I'm going to say...

-..false, for no real reason.

-False.

A Game Of Thrones is something that everybody else knows things about except for me.

-False.

-False.

I can't even think when the phone was invented. I'm going to say false.

False.

-I'm going to say false.

-False.

And with that, you've answered all six statements

and those answers are locked in. If there's one mistake,

you leave with nothing. Which are you worried about?

Most of them are guesses, but B and D and my main worries.

OK. Let's switch on the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and Emily's answers. The answers are now locked in

and you can't change them by yourself,

but you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects. This will come at a cost.

Usual Suspects, I'm going to ask you to tell me how well you think Emily has done,

if you want to help, and if you do, how much it will cost. Emily, who would you like to hear from first?

-Chris.

-Hi, Emily. I think you've done pretty well.

There's one or two I would probably change,

but I'm not really 100 percent on this final board,

so for that reason, I'm going to have to rule myself out. I'm sorry.

OK, thanks, Chris. Can I hear from Bob next?

Hi, Emily. You've definitely got one wrong there.

I'm totally fuzzed out on two of them, I haven't a clue,

so I wouldn't come down and help you.

And I'll hear from Tara, as well, see what she has to say.

Hi, Emily. I'm sorry. I know you've definitely got one wrong,

but, yeah, I'm the same, there's a couple that I'm just not sure of

and I just wouldn't be confident enough to help you, I'm afraid.

But if she were to offer £2,900 of the £3,000, would any of you be interested?

-No.

-No, sorry.

-Even with that kind of cash.

So they think you've got some wrong but aren't prepared to help.

They could easily be wrong about that, too.

But, nonetheless, you are on your own.

None of the Usual Suspects are willing to help. £3,000 at stake.

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

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

Let's have a look. Concorde made its maiden flight in the 1950s.

Is that true or false? We need it to turn green to get you off to a good start.

-Aww.

-I'm afraid it's false!

It was in the 1960s. Emily, I'm afraid that means you haven't achieved perfection,

you've fallen at the first hurdle, so you won't be going home with the cash.

Can you still achieve perfection at home? Let's go through the rest of the answers.

Also for you, Emily, how well you've done.

Liverpool adopted their all red kit in the 1960s. Is that true or false?

Yeah, that's true.

Field Marshal Rommel was known as the Red Baron.

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

It was false, very well done. You were quite right.

Rommel was known as the Desert Fox and the Red Baron was a World War I fighter pilot.

Manfred von Richthofen. Heard of him?

-I have heard of that name.

-There you go, you were right about that.

-I'm glad we got a winner there.

-One right.

Ned Stark is a character in A Game Of Thrones. You thought it was false. Is it true or false?

-Oh.

-True, I'm afraid.

So, we've got one out of four. Let's see if we can improve that.

The classic red phone box dates back to 1852.

Is it true of false? We'd like this to turn red.

And it is false. Very well done.

-Phones weren't even invented in 1852.

-No.

Danny Dyer was friends with Harold Pinter.

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

-It's true!

-Oh, no!

-In actual fact, Danny Dyer acted in several of Pinter's plays.

-Oh.

And the two of them, by all accounts, became great buddies.

So there you go. Usual Suspects, that's good news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game where one of you could be playing for a total of £4,000.

APPLAUSE

Emily, you failed to achieve perfection so you go home with nothing other than our thanks

-for being such a great contestant. You seemed to enjoy yourself.

-I did. Thanks.

-Let's hear it for Emily, everybody.

-APPLAUSE

It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

I'm Sarah, I'm from Hungerford and I'm a senior project manager.

Welcome, Sarah, and best of luck to all of you

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

Tara, it's you! Please come down and join us.

APPLAUSE

Tara, welcome to the show. Let's find out a little bit more about you.

-You were a professional dancer.

-I was, yes.

And travelled the world for four or five years on different cruise ships.

The other thing is you want to move to San Francisco.

Yeah, we're hoping to move in about four weeks. So this would really help me out.

Right, Tara, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your teammates for quite a while, they're now your enemies.

As you tucked up other people, so they shall tuck up you given the opportunity.

Here's the good news. As nobody won the last three games,

the prize fund currently stands at £4,000.

APPLAUSE

Well, you mentioned emigrating to San Francisco

so I presume that would come in quite handy.

Yeah, cos I've just been a student, I've not really got many savings

and I haven't got a secure job out there yet either,

so this would really help us pay for our accommodation.

Let's hope you can walk out of here with some money to ease that transfer.

Three rounds and a final. Usual Suspects, we're going to switch you off so you can't hear or see us,

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

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round one. Your 45 seconds starts now.

-I'd say that's false.

-False.

I've seen the film.

-Erm... I think that's false.

-False.

-I don't remember hearing that, so I'm definitely saying false.

-False.

Erm, I do remember the film. SHE LAUGHS

-Erm... I'll go with true.

-True.

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

-How was that as a round?

-OK, I think.

-OK. You're in with a chance?

-I think so, yeah.

Before we reveal how you've done, let's bring back the Usual Suspects. These are the four statements

and Tara's answers. Chris.

A is a little bit... It sounds so ridiculous that it could be true.

-Sarah.

-I'm quite a Gerard Butler fan so I know that B is right.

Well, Tara, a vote of confidence from the Usual Suspects there.

You need to answer all four perfectly to win the round. Let's see how many are correct.

Just two out of four. Despite the Usual Suspects' plaudits,

you've only achieved a 50/50 average there, which is not good enough.

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Usual Suspects, can you steal the round? You can see Tara's answers.

-You need to change two of them, but which two?

-The reason I said A

is I did read something at the back of my mind that mentioned she'd done it.

Cos I thought, "Why would she need to do a driving test?"

-but I believe she has. B you're sure of, Sarah, yeah?

-I am pretty sure.

He's the handsome guy, Gerard Butler. Looks a bit like me.

-Yeah, yeah.

-He looks nothing like you at all.

In a certain light. You know when the lights go down and you're in silhouette, very similar then.

-Thanks, Nick.

-Mikhail Gorbachev's a great entertainer, isn't he?

So that's false, isn't it?

Could we change A from false to true.

-A changes from false to true.

-And D from true to false, please.

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

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

If the statement turns green, it's true.

If it turns red, it's false.

The Queen has failed her driving test five times.

Is that true or false?

It's false!

Oh, dear, Usual Suspects, you had the chance to steal the round

but you failed to achieve perfection. I wonder whether you can still achieve perfection at home.

Let's deal with that one first. She's not required to hold a licence at all.

She was given a driving permit during World War II

when she was trained as a mechanic and lorry driver. Let's press on.

Gerard Butler starred in The Expendables. Is the true or false?

That is false. He was not in that film.

Mikhail Gorbachev has won a Grammy award. Is that true or false?

That's true! Both Gorbachev and Clinton won a Grammy

for doing voice work on Peter And The Wolf, amazingly.

And the Trojan War began with the abduction of Athena. True or false?

That one's false.

The abduction of Helen by Paris sparked the Trojan War,

although some people believe that she went willingly.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection,

you would now have the opportunity to make Tara's chance of winning the prize fund harder.

And here's how. Tara, this is your final board.

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

Here are your final category options.

Because neither side won the round, the two categories that were due to be chosen

will now be carried over to the next round, meaning four categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, you missed a chance there. It's time to switch you off

but we will see you in round two.

Now that they've gone, let's have a little bit of a chat.

-The next round's going to be quite important.

-Yep.

Look at those on the left. Pick a couple that you really like.

-2013 Films.

-Mm-hm.

That sounds like a good one. And I'm all right with French Food.

And French Food. So, a couple that you're keen to avoid.

Rihanna. I don't know anything about Rihanna. And Wild West.

-Not your cup of tea at all?

-No.

So, if you're ready, let's play round two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

Erm, I've never heard of that being associated with him,

-so I'm going to say false.

-False.

I've never heard of him, but it does sound like a cool mobster name,

-so I'm going to say true.

-True.

-No, that's false.

-False.

Er, I think that's true. Yeah, I'm going to go for true.

-False.

-You're going for true?

-Sorry, true! True, yeah, sorry.

-You said true first so I have to take true.

-Yeah, I meant true.

That's cleared that up. Before we reveal how well you've done,

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

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

Bob, is this a perfect round?

No, I don't think it is. I would change B from true to false

-because I think he's a jazz man.

-Chris, what do you think?

I'm changing B from true to false and D from true to false

as it was in the early 1980s.

OK, so they don't think you've done very well here.

The moment of truth. Let's find out how many are correct.

Ah. Now, this happens every now and again.

It's not moving off of zero.

If you'd have got one correct, the Usual Suspects would have to find

the missing answers to win the round, but there's no point asking you to change the answers

because we know all four are wrong, so you win the round.

Let's fill in those answers, which are the opposite of Tara's.

Usual Suspects, by default, you have achieved perfection. Congratulations.

APPLAUSE

I know you're feeling bad, but this happens every now and again. Let's go through them.

Christopher Walken was once in a lion-taming act. True or false?

Oddly enough, it's true.

Bix Beiderbecke was a 1930s mobster.

And as Bob so rightly pointed out, that is false

because he was a jazz musician.

Carey Mulligan married Marcus Mumford in 2012.

That is, of course, true.

And the Falklands War took place in the 1970s.

That is, of course, false.

And as Chris rightly pointed out, it happened in the 1980s.

Let's see the final board.

Usual Suspects, because you won that round,

you can choose four categories to add to the board,

two from this round and two from the round one rollover.

Which four would you like Tara to play in the final?

-How are you going to choose them?

-Shall we do one each again?

-Yeah, are you happy with one each?

-Yeah.

-After you.

-Er, I think Tea.

-Tea goes into the final.

-I'll pick John Lennon.

-John Lennon joins Tea in the final.

-I'll go with State Nicknames.

-State Nicknames becomes the third.

-And then you need to work out a fourth.

-What about the fourth one?

-Er...

-70s TV, maybe?

-Yeah, she's not that old, is she?

-Yeah.

Probably a bit early. And the final one is 1970s TV.

1970s TV goes across. Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

you have won the second round, not that you put a lot of effort in,

but you won it nonetheless. It's time to switch you off and we'll see you in round three.

Right, let's talk about their choices.

-They've avoided the ones you were really worried about.

-Yeah, so not too bad.

-Tea? Well...

-That could be anything, yeah.

-John Lennon?

-I do know a bit about John Lennon, yeah.

-State Nicknames?

-I'm moving to America, so hopefully...

1970s TV. They did make the point, as he so wonderfully put it, "You're not that old."

Well, he's right, but... I have seen some 70s TV, so...

So the trick is now to be able to choose the last two categories for yourself.

-You can do that by achieving perfection on this last round. Ready?

-Yes.

Good. Then let's play round three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-That's false.

-False.

Minoan. Erm, I think it's South America somewhere,

-so I'm going to say true.

-True.

I've seen that in the bookshops this week, but was it called Inferno?

-I'm going to say true.

-True.

Ooh, I have absolutely no idea, so I'm going to say true.

-True.

-Yep.

-And with that, all four statements are answered.

-Did that feel a little better?

-Yes, definitely.

Well, let's wait and see how you do. First let's have a chat with the Usual Suspects.

Hello, Usual Suspects. These were the four statements

and Tara's answers. Sarah, how has she done this time?

I'm not sure about B,

cos I think the Mayans are in Peru.

-Bob, what do you think?

-I know I'm the oldest one here,

but postcodes in the 1700s, I'm not quite that old.

I seem to remember there weren't postcodes

-when I was a youngster like you, Nick.

-Thank you, Bob.

Tara, the moment of truth. You need to answer all four statements perfectly to win the round.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Two out of four. Certainly better than last time.

-Definitely better than last time.

-Not perfection.

As a result, you've let the Usual Suspects in.

You have a chance to steal this round and make a clean sweep on the final board

if you get them all right. You need to change two, but which two?

-Are we all happy with B and D, yeah?

-Yep.

-Yes.

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

-B changes from true to false.

-And D from true to false, also.

And D from true to false, leaving A and C as answered by Tara.

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

Frankie Sanford is a member of Little Mix. Is that true or false?

It is, in fact, false. She is a member of The Saturdays.

The Minoan Civilisation was based in Peru. Is that true or false?

That's false. It was based in and around the island of Crete.

Mediterranean, in fact.

Inferno is a 2013 book by Dan Brown. Is that true or false?

That is true, so you know where this is going now, Usual Suspects.

Postcodes were introduced in the UK in the 1700s. Is that true or false?

It is false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Postcodes as we know them were introduced nationwide

between 1959 and 1974.

Tara, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed

and they've stolen the round. Usual Suspects, you now have the chance

to make Tara's chances of winning the prize fund that much harder.

Let's see the final board. Currently inhabited by four subject categories

chosen by the Usual Suspects, and because you won the last round,

you get to add to that pain by adding two more categories of your choice.

-I was thinking...

-Composers.

-..composers.

-I can't imagine her being...

-Yes.

-What other one do you reckon?

-Ghost Stories?

-Nick, can we move over Composers?

-Composers goes into the final.

-And Ghost Stories, please.

And Ghost Stories. We now know our six final categories. They are...

Thank you, guys. Very well played. Time to switch you off for the final time.

Off they go. Tara, for £4,000,

quite a bit of cash, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

Tara, this is the all-important final. If you achieve perfection, you could leave with £4,000.

If you fail, you'll leave with nothing, which will be great for the Usual Suspects

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £5,000 on the next game.

-They've really tried to tuck you up here so this would be a great one to win, wouldn't it?

-Yes, definitely.

Then let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Tara, here are your final six categories. They are...

You must answer all six statements correctly to win that £4,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit

-but once you've given an answer, your first answer is locked in. Are you ready?

-Yes.

Let's reveal your first statement. Please tell me whether you believe it to be true or false.

-Is that true or false?

-I don't know if it's China or India.

Assam.

-I'm going to say false. I don't think it's Indian.

-False.

I have absolutely no idea.

-Sounds so obscure, I'm going to say true.

-True.

I think that's false. I don't see any connection with Empire State.

-I'm going to go for false.

-False.

-Yep.

-That's false. Blake's 7 was a space thing. False.

-False.

-Again, I'm not really sure, but I'm going to say true.

-True.

It's not a name I've heard of and I've seen The Woman In Black,

-so I'm going to say false.

-False.

-Yes.

And with that, you've answered all six and they are locked in.

Remember, if there's one mistake, you leave with nothing. Which are you unsure of?

-Er...

-Which ones are you sure of?

I'm sure of Blake's 7. SHE LAUGHS

All right, let's bring back the Usual Suspects to see what they've got to say. They may help.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements and Tara's answers.

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

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

This will come at a cost. Who would you like to hear from first?

I'd like to speak to Bob first, please.

Hi, Tara. I think you've done pretty well there.

I know there's one wrong and I'm pretty certain there's another one.

There's one there I haven't got a clue on,

-so I'm going to rule myself out, I'm afraid.

-OK, thank you.

-Erm, Chris?

-To be honest, Tara,

there's a couple there that I'm really unsure of.

I think you've done quite well but I just don't think I can help you.

on the couple that I'm not sure of.

-Even for some money?

-I don't think so. I don't think I could help.

-I'd just be taking your money, really.

-OK, thank you.

-Sarah?

-Hi, Tara.

-Hi.

I think there are a couple wrong,

but I don't know enough of the others,

or any of them, really, to come down and help you.

-Even for £2,000?

-No, I'm sorry.

-OK. Thank you.

-OK, I think negotiations have come to a halt.

No-one's prepared to come down and help so you are on your own.

-£4,000 at stake. More money for you if you walk away with it.

-Yeah!

-Absolutely!

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

If a statement turns green, it's true, red, it's false.

Do you want to start top or bottom? A you weren't sure about.

-You seemed very sure about Woman In Black.

-Yeah.

-Shall we start there?

-Yeah.

-Start at the bottom and go up.

The Woman In Black was written by Wilkie Collins. True or false?

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

And it is false. Very well done.

APPLAUSE

It's actually by Susan Hill.

Wilkie Collins wrote Woman In White, oddly enough.

Tchaikovsky lived during the 19th century. You said that was true.

You were fairly confident. True or false? We need it to turn green.

-It is true. Very good.

-APPLAUSE

Blake's 7 was a spin-off from Dynasty.

You thought it was false, so with a bit of luck, this will turn red,

which will get you halfway to £4,000 all on your own.

Is it true or false?

-It is, of course, false.

-APPLAUSE

Can you keep this going? Massachusetts is nicknamed The Empire State.

-What were you thinking with Empire State?

-New York.

-Empire State Building.

-Yeah.

-Let's see if your reasoning works out.

We need it to turn red. Is it true or false?

-It is false. Very well reasoned.

-APPLAUSE

New York State is the Empire State.

The Bay State or the Old Colony State is Massachusetts.

John Lennon refused to accept a knighthood. You need this to turn green.

If it does, you are just one away from the £4,000.

Is it true or false?

-Oh, no!

-It's false, I'm afraid.

He was never actually offered a knighthood. He did, however,

-return his MBE in 1969.

-Oh, right.

That means, I'm afraid, that you have not achieved perfection

and you won't be going home with any cash.

Can you still achieve perfection at home? Let's see how we've done overall.

Assam tea comes from India.

You couldn't decide whether it was India or China.

-You decided that Assam didn't sound very Indian.

-Yep.

So, is it true or false?

-Oh.

-I'm afraid it is true. Assam is in India.

It's a north-eastern state of India.

Usual Suspects, that's good news for you. The prize fund rolls over to the next game

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

-Very well played.

-APPLAUSE

Tara, you failed to achieve perfection. You go home with nothing other than our thanks for playing.

-I hope you enjoyed it.

-I've had a fantastic time, yeah.

-Good luck with your move to San Francisco, as well.

-Thank you.

-Say thank you to Tara, everybody.

-APPLAUSE

And please join us again next time when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play again,

this time for £5,000. But remember, it's a tough one to win, this.

On this show, we only pay for perfection. Goodbye.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
