Episode 40 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz show that demands perfection.

Behind this screen are four contestants

who'll be hoping 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. 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?

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 Jo. I'm from Ellesmere Port in Cheshire.

I'm a collection specialist at a car finance company

and this is my first game.

I'm Jan, I'm from Sheffield.

I'm a performance assessment officer and this is my second game.

I'm Mary. I'm from West Sussex.

I'm a funeral coordinator and this is my third game.

I'm Chris. I'm from Somerset.

I'm a bookbinder and this is my third 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.

Chris, it's you. Please come and join me.

APPLAUSE

Chris, welcome to the game. I want to talk to you about your job.

I suppose it's not really unusual, it's just that you know it exists

-but I've never met anyone who actually does it. Bookbinding?

-Yeah.

Is that done by machine or by hand?

I can do it both, but you just get the folded piece of paper together,

basically, sew them together, make a case for it, for a hardback.

There's various processes - gluing it together and cutting it

-and you get a book.

-How did you get into that?

I started an apprenticeship after I left college

and I went on from there.

Great to get into something with an apprenticeship and learn a trade.

-Yeah.

-OK, now it's you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your team-mates.

They're now your enemies.

Their job is to stop you winning the prize fund

because your failure would mean

the money goes to the next game where one of them

could be sitting here playing for a bigger total.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

The good news - no-one won the last game,

so the prize fund currently stands at £2,000.

APPLAUSE

What would you spend it on if you won the money?

I'd have to treat my girlfriend to a holiday.

-Around the world.

-Around the world? Very nice. You like flying?

No, absolutely not.

-Hate it.

-That's a bit of a problem.

It is, but she deserves it,

putting up with me. AUDIENCE: Aww!

Lovely. Here's how the game works -

you'll play three rounds and then a final.

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

However, if you performance is anything less that perfect,

the Usual Suspects will have a chance to step in

and steal the round, making the final much harder.

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

so you can't see or hear anything.

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 your first answer,

it will be locked in.

-You ready?

-Yep.

Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round One - your 45 seconds start now.

Not really sure about the order

of military stripes and how they go.

I will say...

-true.

-True.

-I'll have to say false.

-False.

I quite like Italy, but I'm not sure. I'll say true.

True, and keep an eye on the time now.

-I'll say that's true.

-True.

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

You thought long and hard about those answers.

-Happy with them?

-Fairly happy.

Fairly happy. It's 50/50.

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

to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Jan, has he achieved perfection?

I think St Mark's Square isn't in Venice. I think it's further east.

I've got a feeling A might be wrong as well.

OK. Jo, welcome to the game. What do you make of these answers?

I don't think he has perfection.

I don't believe St Mark's Square is a famous location in Venice,

although I've never been.

-B I would change from false to true as well.

-Thank you very much.

Chris, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly

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

Three out of four's a good score, but not Perfection, as predicted

by the Usual Suspects, so they have a chance to nick the round.

Can you steal it? You can see Chris's answers.

You need to change just one, but which one?

-C was my only one that I thought was wrong.

-C again with me.

I would personally be more confident to change C than I would with B.

-Shall we go with C?

-I'm happy with C.

-Nick, can we change C from true to false, please?

-You can.

C changes from true to false,

leaving A, B and D as answered by Chris.

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

HE READS QUESTION A

It's true.

HE READS QUESTION B

It's true.

That's the one you needed to change, Usual Suspects.

You had the chance to steal the round

but you failed to achieve Perfection.

I wonder if you can still achieve perfection at home.

Let's look at those statements and answers in a bit more detail.

HE READS QUESTION C

Yes, it is true.

Although you haven't been there, Jo, you really need to go.

It's the most beautiful place.

HE READS QUESTION D

Yes, that's absolutely true.

OK, Chris, take a look at this board appearing before you.

These six spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are the final round category options -

starting with TV Sitcoms, running through Bardot, Nigeria, Flags

and onto New Orleans with many more in between.

Now, had you achieved Perfection,

you would now have the opportunity of adding the two

categories of your choice to the board,

but 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 had a chance there. You didn't take it.

I wonder whether you'll regret it. It's time to switch you off.

We'll see you in Round Two.

Let's have a little chat about that list, shall we?

Pick me two you will be choosing when you get the chance.

I'd have to say TV Sitcoms...

-Yep.

-..and Flags.

And two that you'd really like to avoid.

Bardot and...

Day-Lewis.

Remember, in order to win the prize fund,

you will need to answer all six statements correctly.

Winning the next round could prove crucial,

cos you get the choice of four for yourself then.

-Ready to press on?

-Yep.

-Then let's play Round Two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

Really not sure about that. Wayfarers...

-I'm going to say false.

-False.

-False.

-False.

-Sounds fairly correct. I'd say true.

-True, and finally...

I would say true.

-True.

-Hmm...

With a few seconds to spare.

Used the time well, but didn't sound very confident with that last one.

No, I've seen the adverts for it and I can't remember

if it was Not Going Out or not.

You seemed very definite

and slightly embarrassed about the Cookie Monster.

He's blue, is the Cookie Monster.

He's definitely blue.

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

to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Jan, help us out here. Is there anything wrong with these answers?

Unfortunately not, no. I think that is Perfection.

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

-Really?

-I am. I think he's got Perfection.

It's a vote of confidence for you, Chris, from the Usual Suspects.

Have you achieved Perfection? Let's see how many are correct.

Congratulations, Chris. You have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Very well played. Let's take a look at those answers in more detail.

HE READS QUESTION A

You spent a long time over this

before you actually plumped for false and it is, of course, false

because they are styles of sunglasses, in actual fact.

HE READS QUESTION B

You went for that straightaway. You knew immediately.

There was no doubt in your mind at all. You said false because...

-He's blue.

-So it is, of course, false because he is blue.

HE READS QUESTION C

You said that's true. We now know it to be true.

It is the main stadium in Rio de Janeiro.

HE READS QUESTION D

You said that was true and we now know that that was true.

Very well played, Chris.

As a result of that perfect performance,

you have made winning the prize fund of £2,000 a lot easier.

Let's take a look at the final board.

No subject categories in there at the moment

and because you won that round,

you can choose four categories,

that's two from this round

and two that rolled over from the last round.

So which four would you like to pick?

-I will take TV Sitcoms, please.

-TV Sitcoms goes into the final.

-Latin.

-Latin goes in.

-Flags.

-Flags.

And I will have a stab at Julius Caesar, please.

And Julius Caesar.

Look at the expressions of the Usual Suspects -

they're all like, "Really?!"

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

I told you you might live to regret not taking advantage

in the first round. I'm going to switch you off for now.

We'll see you in Round Three. Away they go.

Very well played. Look how puzzled you had them.

-Got them all going.

-Tactics.

You certainly seem to be on a roll. Let's play Round Three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

That doesn't ring any bells at all.

-I'll go false.

-False.

You can't eat them,

so I'll say that's...

-..true.

-True.

-Not very good with medical things. I'll say false.

-False, and finally...

Watch the time.

I'll say true.

True, and with just a few seconds to spare,

you've answered all four statements.

Little bit more of a pause in that one.

Yeah, I found those a little bit trickier than the last lot.

No Sesame Street questions.

It does make it tougher.

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

to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Hello, folks.

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

Jo, let's start with you.

I'm looking at B. Has he ever eaten a cashew nut shell?

Well, if they were toxic, he wouldn't be here to play, would he?

-No, but...

-It depends on the answer.

-Yeah.

Mary, what do you make of these?

-White flag, Perfection.

-Again?

-Can't see anything wrong with those answers?

-No.

Chris, let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four's not bad, but it's not Perfection.

Jo thought there might be a mistake,

so we'll find out how confident she is now,

because, Usual Suspects, you have the chance to steal this round.

You only need to change one answer,

but which answer? You need to discuss, I think.

How confident are you with the shell of the cashew nut being non-toxic?

They never come in a shell, which would suggest

that they don't trust the general public with the shells.

Other nuts you get come in shells,

but I don't think I've ever seen a cashew nut in a shell.

D's correct.

No idea about the other three, personally,

so I'm happy to go with the captain.

I think A's right. It's B and C.

-Shall we go with B?

-B? Go with Jo.

We'll go with B, please, Nick. Change it from true to false.

-You want to change B from true to false?

-Yes, please.

Leaving A, C and D as answered by Chris.

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

HE READS QUESTION A

True or false?

Yeah, it is false.

In actual fact, he was an animated character on The Kenny Everett Show.

-HE READS QUESTION B

-Is that true or false?

It's true.

There's the interesting thing about this -

Jo, you made a very good case that they don't put the shells

out to the general public because they can't trust them with them

because it's toxic.

You argued very strongly for the fact it was true

and then changed it to false. Anyway, let's press on.

Maybe you can still achieve perfection at home.

Let's have a look.

-HE READS QUESTION C

-Is that true or false?

That's true, that's the one you were looking for.

-HE READS QUESTION D

-True or false?

That's true as well.

You kind of talked yourselves round that,

did all the right things and then made the wrong decision,

so unusual, that, for the Usual Suspects.

Let's look at the board.

Currently occupied by four categories, all chosen by you,

Chris, so that's pretty good.

Nobody won Round Three, so how do we deal with that?

You basically take it in turns to choose a category and, Chris,

as the single player, you get to go first, so pick away.

I will go for Olympics, please.

Olympics goes into the final.

Usual Suspects, you get to choose one, the only subject

that you can choose to try and trip Chris up in the final.

I was thinking Bardot.

I was thinking Bardot or Benny Hill cos he's a bit younger,

so he might not know anything about those two.

I'm happy with Bardot.

I think it's for the best that we don't ask me for a while.

-Bardot?

-We'll have Bardot, please.

And Bardot goes into the final as well.

Jo, don't let it knock your confidence.

You made a very good case,

you just then ignored everything you said yourself.

All you've got to do is listen to yourself a bit more, you'll be fine.

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

Usual Suspects, time to switch you off for the final time.

Bardot. You didn't want it, they picked it.

If the question is "What is her first name?"

I might be OK, but other than that I think I'll struggle.

All right, Chris, for £2,000, 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 £2,000.

If you fail, you'll be leaving with nothing,

which is great news for the Usual Suspects, as one of them could be

playing for £3,000 in the next game.

-You wouldn't want that.

-No.

So let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Chris, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £2,000. Think carefully. There's no time limit,

but once you've given your first answer, it will be locked in.

-Are you ready?

-Yep.

-Then let's reveal your first statement.

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

TV Sitcoms.

Yeah, that's true.

I used to watch that with my dad when I was little and I remember that.

True.

Latin.

I would have thought caveat would have anything to do with time.

Neither would emptor.

I'm going to say false.

False.

Flags.

I think I'd disagree with that.

I think there's a bit more colour in it than that, so I'll say true.

True.

Julius Caesar.

I don't really know a lot about Julius Caesar.

That's kind of an educated guess that I might be able to get help

in the final from one of the Usual Suspects.

I know he adopted a child.

I'm going to say false.

False.

Olympics.

Tennis was around a long time before that.

I'm going to say false on that.

False. And finally,

the only subject chosen for you by the Usual Suspects, Bardot.

I really don't know.

I'm going to say false. I think she...

Oh, I don't know.

She might have predated any of the Carry On films,

but I just don't know.

You said false, so I must take false as your answer.

That means, Chris, those answers are all locked in.

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

Normally, I'd ask you which ones you're worried about,

but can I take you back to the flag of Belarus?

What you said was the flag of Belarus is entirely white.

You think there's more colour,

then you said true.

-You did actually mean to say false.

-I did, 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 Chris's answers.

Chris, your answers are now locked in and you can't change them

by yourself, but you can change them

and open up the board if you think you've made a mistake with

the help of the Usual Suspects, but it will come at a cost.

Usual Suspects, I'm now going to ask how well you think Chris has done,

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

-Chris, how would you like to ask first?

-Mary, please.

How well do you think you've done?

I think I've done fairly well.

I'll leave it at that.

I think you've done fairly well. I'm not sure about two.

Does that mean you'd like to come and help, Mary?

No, I'm not that confident, but I would change two.

-OK.

-I'll hear from Jan, please.

Personally, I think you've almost certainly got one wrong,

but I'm so unsure about the other ones, I'm not willing to come down

and tell you which one you've got wrong, unfortunately. Sorry!

-Jan's not coming down.

-OK, Jo?

I know you've got at least two wrong there, however,

the money is not enough, I'm afraid,

for me to come down and help you, so you are on your own there.

It looks like negotiations are over, Chris.

None of the Usual Suspects are willing to help,

so you're on your own.

£2,000 at stake, six answers away - let's find out

if you've achieved Perfection.

Before we start, Jo, you said you thought there were two wrong.

Which two do you think are wrong?

Firstly, the flag of Belarus being entirely white.

-You're worried about that one.

-Yeah.

And the other one you were worried about?

Maybe Julius Caesar.

That's interesting. Which one were you keen to get help on?

The Julius Caesar one.

All right, let's start at the top and make our way through.

-HE READS QUESTION A

-Now, you said that you knew this one

-because you used to watch it with your dad?

-Yeah.

So this should turn green. You said true and this should be right.

Is it true or false?

It is true. Of course it is.

APPLAUSE

Corporal Jones used to say, "Don't panic!"

HE READS QUESTION B

You said that that didn't sound right at all,

so you went with false.

We need this to turn red. Is that true or false?

Very well done, that is false.

APPLAUSE

It means "let the buyer beware", in actual fact.

"Time flies" is "tempus fugit".

C, let's hop over that one for the moment

cos that's one that you're worried about.

D, let's hop over that

because that was another you were worried about and go on to E.

You said it'd been around a lot longer than that,

so it must have been earlier, so you said false.

Is it true or false?

It is false.

-APPLAUSE

-Very well done.

It was originally an Olympic sport between 1896 and 1924,

then it was dropped and reinstated in 1988, which is pretty impressive,

so you're quite right, it was earlier - 100 years earlier.

HE READS QUESTION F

With this, you said as long as the question is,

"What's Bardot's first name?" you'd be all right.

You had to take a little bit of a punt at this one.

You said this was false.

Is this true or false?

If this turns red, you are four correct and only two away.

-APPLAUSE

-Very well done, it is false.

She did, however, appear in Doctor At Sea, which is

a series of Doctor films, which were very funny and hilarious,

but they weren't Carry On films.

So that brings us back to C and D.

This is the one where you say, "The flag of Belarus is entirely white?

"I think there's more colour in it than that,

"therefore, true",

And I had to take your true answer.

What are the chances you were wrong and it is true?

We need this to turn green to keep you on your way to the £2,000.

You're shaking your head already. Don't give up just yet.

Is that true or false?

-It's false.

-AUDIENCE GROANS

Red and green, I'm afraid, and you knew there was colour in it

and that's so unfortunate because you actually gave me

a perfectly good explanation

and then just said the wrong thing and I had to take it.

It means you can't go home with the cash.

You haven't achieved Perfection.

The question now is whether that was the only one you got wrong,

cos if that is the only one you got wrong and you missed out

on £2,000 because of a mistake, that's really unpleasant.

-HE READS QUESTION D

-You said false.

We need this to turn red for you.

Is it true or false?

It's true, I'm afraid. That was the one.

On the upside, at least the mistake that you made didn't cost you

-the £2,000.

-Softens the blow.

On the downside, you did actually get one out of the six wrong

and the other was just a mistake.

Great news for you, Usual Suspects.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game

where one of you could be playing for a total of £3,000.

APPLAUSE

I think you've played fantastically well. You should be very proud.

I'm sorry we can't give you any money,

but you have been a great contestant.

-You enjoyed playing?

-Very much so.

-Let's hear it for Chris.

APPLAUSE

Time to move on.

It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect

hoping to play Perfection today.

Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

I'm Shaz from Manchester, and I'm a retail training officer.

Best of luck to you all as we now find out

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

Jo, it's you. Please come and join me.

Jo, welcome to the game.

You have an interesting way of describing your heritage.

There is a word that you use which I've not heard before.

With me being part Kenyan and part Welsh,

I merged the two to Kelsh.

That's a pretty good explanation. So you go, "I'm Kelsh"?

Yeah... Well, no, not really.

I do give them the whole story cos I like to talk a lot.

Also, another one I quite like to use is Afro-Celt as well.

-That's another one.

-Afro-Celt?

-You don't see that on application forms.

Mum, Dad..?

So, my mum's from Kenya and my dad's from Wales, Cardiff.

OK. You excited about doing this, or a little bit nervous?

-Little bit nervous.

-You did a skydive last year as well.

-I did, yeah.

I keep trying to compare this and that and I'm like,

-"That was definitely scarier."

-Yeah.

Sticking your legs out an aircraft at 10,000 feet -

much scarier than sitting on a chair next to Nick Knowles.

I'm now being compared to being thrown out of a plane from 10,000.

That's slightly worrying.

However, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

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

so the prize fund currently stands at £3,000.

APPLAUSE

Do you think you could find anything to spend that money on

if you took it home?

-Easily. Easily, Nick.

-Anything in particular?

The main thing would be driving lessons, to be honest,

cos where I work, I've got to get two buses there

and two buses back sometimes.

-In the snow and the cold and the dark, it's not nice.

-Absolutely.

Best of luck. Three rounds and the final to come.

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

so you can't see or hear anything,

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

-You ready?

-Yeah.

Then let's get started and play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round One, your 45 seconds start now.

True or false?

I'll go with true. I know the rhyme.

I can't remember how it goes,

but I know it starts with "Good King Wenceslas looked out..."

True, OK. I'm worried about time, so I'm pushing on.

-True.

-True.

-False.

-False.

And now with plenty of time to spare...

That is definitely false.

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

How was that?

You were nervous, but it seemed like a very positive round.

I'm happy. I'm quietly confident, but I do believe there might be

a little one in there that might be a bit wrong.

Don't start second guessing yourself yet.

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

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

Jan, what do you think of those answers?

I don't know about Perfection,

but they're the answers I would have given,

so I certainly can't pick anything out that I would change.

Welcome to the show, Shaz. What do you make of those answers?

I'm not too sure on B, Puffing Billy.

I believe that might be false,

but I think she's done quite well with the rest of them.

All right, Jo, 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, Jo, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Let's have a look at those statements in more detail.

-HE READS QUESTION A

-True or false?

That is, of course, true.

HE READS QUESTION B

Is that true or false? We now know that it is true.

HE READS QUESTION C

you said this was false and we know it is false.

It's actually the vertical divide

on a window or door, not the horizontal.

HE READS QUESTION D

You were sure of this and said false and it is, of course, false.

-Antiques expert.

-Yes.

-So you knew that all along.

That's a great start. Here's your final board.

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

Here are your final-round category options -

starting with Tom and Jerry, running through Elvis, Wine, Katie Price

and onto The Sopranos with many more in between.

Because you've won the round,

you've earned the right to choose two categories to add to the board,

so which two would you like to go into the final?

Let's give Tom and Jerry and Wine a go.

Tom and Jerry goes into the final

and Wine.

Not a combination I've ever seen before,

but it's certainly working for you.

Usual Suspects, we'll see you in the next round.

In the meantime, cheerio.

Now they've gone, let's have a talk about those categories,

cos they can't hear us anyway.

Which two would you be desperate to avoid?

(Football.)

-(Don't whisper...)

-Football!

-Definitely football.

-And?

I've been really meaning to watch the box set

and catch up with what everyone's been raving on about

with The Sopranos, but I've never watched any of them.

-That could be a tough one.

-Yeah.

Katie Price, I don't know if I want to say this

but I've watched quite a lot of her stuff.

Might be a good one for you to choose next.

And another one that you'd like to choose out of that lot?

Definitions.

All right, well, you've made a fantastic start to the game.

Let's see if we can continue that, shall we?

Let's play Round Two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

Hmm...

It wouldn't surprise me. I'm going to say true.

True.

I should know this as I've been there very recently.

-I'm going to go with true.

-True.

True all the way. I know that.

True. And finally, with time to spare...

I'm going to go with that being false.

False.

How was that?

The D, I wasn't too sure with that one, but I gave it a go.

It wasn't too bad. It was all right, not stressed too much.

OK, before we find out how well you've done,

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

are Jo's answers.

Jan, how's she done this time?

D is incorrect. I think Arthur Dent is The Hitchhiker's Guide.

-Mary, where do you stand on this?

-I'm the same.

I think D should be true.

They think you might have made a mistake, Jo.

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

It's a good round but it's not Perfection and as a result,

you've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Can you steal this round?

You can see Jo's answers. You can change one of them, but which one?

I think we are in agreement.

I think we'll change D, please, Nick, from false to true.

D changes from false to true,

leaving A, B and C as answered by Jo.

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

-HE READS QUESTION A

-Is that true or false?

That is true.

-HE READS QUESTION B

-True or false?

That's true as well.

-HE READS QUESTION C

-Is that true or false?

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

-HE READS QUESTION D

-True or false?

It's true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

As Jan said,

it is The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy series that he appears in.

Let's see the final board.

Two categories on there already chosen by Jo,

but, Usual Suspects, because you won the round,

you can choose the next two categories

to add to the board, so which two would you like Jo

-to play in the final?

-I'll probably go Football.

Something she wouldn't know about?

What do you think Lines is all about?

Lines, no idea.

-Lines and Football?

-OK, Lines and Football, please.

Lines goes into the final and so does Football.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you've won the second round.

Very well played. We'll switch you off and see you in Round Three.

Right, you definitely didn't want Football.

-They zeroed in on it straightaway.

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-It's all right.

Lines, difficult to know what that is until you get the question.

Who knows what that could entail?

-You ready to carry on?

-Yes.

Let's play Round Three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

I'm going to go with that being true.

True.

I've seen the film.

I don't remember her being in the film.

She may be in it. I'll go false.

False.

I'll go true on that one cos of his accent.

True, and finally...

I will go with true on that cos, you know, tinfoil -

it's pretty light!

-True.

-True.

And with that, you've answered all four statements. How does that feel?

-Feels OK.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

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

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements

and next to them are Jo's answers.

Shaz, how's she done?

Not bad. The only one I think possibly is C.

I wouldn't associate Andrew Flintoff with cricket, but the rest seem OK.

Mary, what do you think of those answers?

The moose is the national symbol of Canada.

-I don't know anything about cricket.

-OK.

Jo, the moment of truth.

They seem to think you might have made a couple of mistakes.

Let's find out how many are correct.

None! It's not moving!

Oh, no!

I know. It's one of those "Oh, no" moments, I'm afraid, Jo.

-Dear me!

-Yeah.

Usual Suspects, there's no point in asking you

to change the answers because we know all four are wrong,

so you automatically win the round.

Let's fill in the Usual Suspects' answers

which are the exact opposite of Jo's.

There they go - false, true, false and false.

Usual Suspects, by default, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Well, er, let's have a look at those in more detail, shall we?

The buffalo is the national animal of Canada. You said true.

In actual fact, it is false.

The beaver and the moose are usually associated

with being the national animals of Canada.

Queen Latifah appeared in the film Chicago.

-You've seen the film Chicago.

-Yeah.

You said false. In actual fact, it's true.

Andrew Flintoff played cricket for Yorkshire. You said true.

It is, in fact, false,

because he played for Lancashire, not Yorkshire.

And aluminium is the lightest metal. You said that was true.

It is, in fact, false. There are lighter metals - lithium

is the lightest of all the metals.

Let's see the final board.

First four are on there.

And so it's an even-Stevens board at the moment -

two chosen by Jo, two chosen by the Usual Suspects,

but you get to tip the balance now,

Usual Suspects, by selecting the last two. Which would you like

Jo to play in the final?

-Definitions is standing out for me.

-Yeah.

-Definitions.

-She doesn't look like a jazz aficionado to me.

-No.

-What about Jazz?

-Jazz and Definitions.

-Yep.

-OK, Jazz and Definitions, please, Nick.

Jazz goes into the final

as does Definitions.

I'd normally say, "Congratulations!"

winning at this point, but it seems fairly wrong to do that.

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

It's time to switch you off,

Usual Suspects, for the last time. Cheerio.

Do you know what? They've done you a favour there, really, haven't they?

-You said you might choose Definitions.

-Yeah.

That's quite good.

-Jazz...

-My dad's, like, really into jazz.

When it comes to that question, you need to tune into your dad,

see if you can connect and he can help you with that question.

It's a half and half board.

You've chosen two of those.

They chose one

-that you really wanted anyway.

-Yeah.

That's three, really, in your favour and who knows what comes up

-in the questions with the others.

-Yeah.

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

Jo, this is the all-important final.

If you can achieve Perfection, you could be leaving with £3,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing -

great news for the Usual Suspects here as one of them could be playing

for a rollover of £4,000 in the next game.

So let's play the final.

APPLAUSE

Jo, here are your final categories.

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

Think carefully. There is no time limit.

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

-Are you ready?

-Ready.

-Then let's reveal your first statement.

Tom and Jerry.

I'm going to go with true for that.

-True.

-Yes.

-Wine.

-That is true.

-True. Lines.

I've not heard of the Maginot Line.

It sounds like it could be a more glamorous line

than the one where a ship meets the water.

-I am going to go with false for that one.

-False. Football.

I know he's an incredibly good footballer, we can't escape that one.

90 seems a lot, but it is an entire year.

I am going to go with...

-true.

-True.

This is the one where you need to connect with your father. Jazz.

I am going to go true with this

because I believe that perhaps my father has possibly

disturbed some neighbours playing some of Charlie Parker in the past.

-I'm going to go with true.

-True. And finally, Definitions.

It's a nice word. Sternutation.

Does it mean snoring?

I am going to say that sternutation

-is...true.

-True.

And with that, those answers are locked in.

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

-So which ones are you worried about?

-D, Lionel Messi.

I'm just glad that I knew his name, though. I wasn't expecting that.

And C as well. The Maginot Line.

-Sounds like it should be in France somewhere.

-So C and D.

-And F.

-OK.

-It's a few.

-Let's stop there, shall we?

-Yeah, yeah!

-OK.

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 Jo's answers.

Your answers are locked in, you can't change them yourself

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, Jo, who would you like to hear from first?

-Let's start with Mary.

-I think you've done quite well.

There is one that I'm not sure about.

-So does that mean that you'd like to come and help?

-No.

It's not something I would have any idea about the answer,

-but it sounds a bit odd to me.

-OK, so Mary's ruling herself out.

-I'll hear from Jan.

-There's three

that I just have absolutely no idea about.

It would be a toss of a coin, so for that reason

I won't come down because I'm totally clueless about them. Sorry.

-No problem.

-Jan has ruled himself out.

-OK. And finally, Shaz?

I possibly think there are three that are wrong,

but again, not 100%. So I'm ruling myself out. Sorry.

So just to be clear, no matter how much of the £3,000 were to be

-offered to you, none of you are prepared to come down and help?

-No.

They are a greedy bunch, aren't they?

LAUGHTER

None of the Usual Suspects are prepared to help,

so you're on your own.

£3,000 at stake, six answers,

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

Let's start at the top, shall we?

The bulldog in Tom and Jerry was called Spike.

-You said this was true.

-Yes.

-Are you sure of this?

-I think he has a little son called Tyke as well.

-Perfect.

She gets off to a flying start. Is it true or false?

Yes. Very well done. Good start.

APPLAUSE

Sangria is a fruit drink typically containing wine. You said true.

Is it true or false?

It's true. Very well done.

-APPLAUSE

-This is an interesting one.

The Maginot Line marks where a ship meets the water.

You said that you thought it might be French, so you went with false.

If it turns red, you are halfway to the money all on your own.

If it turns green, you go home with nothing,

and the money rolls over for the Usual Suspects.

So is that true or false?

It's false! Very well done.

APPLAUSE

The line where the ship meets the water

is generally referred to as the Plimsoll line.

That sounds a bit more boaty, doesn't it, plimsoll?

Yeah.

Whereas the Maginot Line was a defensive line set up

at the beginning...just before the Second World War, to defend France!

There we go.

Then we come to the football one you really didn't want,

that the Usual Suspects chose for you, and you were dreading this one.

Lionel Messi scored more than 90 goals in 2012.

-You'd heard of him, for a start, which is great.

-Yeah.

And you know that he scored a lot of goals cos he's a great footballer.

But 90 did seem an awful lot. But in the end you plumped for true.

Could that possibly be true?

It is true!

APPLAUSE

91 goals in a season, he scored.

So here we are. You're only two away now.

This was the one you were hoping your dad would help you out on

and you think he played Charlie Parker

and disturbed the neighbours

-with it.

-If it's wrong,

he may not speak to me.

No, he would. We'll just see.

Charlie Parker was best known for

playing the trumpet. You said true.

We need this to turn green.

If it does, you're just one away

from the £3,000 all on your own,

without the help of the Usual Suspects.

Certainly those that thought

you had three wrong were wrong.

Charlie Parker was best known

for playing the trumpet.

Is that true or false?

We need this to turn green.

It's false!

AUDIENCE GROANS

It's false. Jo!

I was so sure of that! Really sure.

You're going to kick yourself

when you find out why.

-He's best known for playing the saxophone.

-Holy moly!

-I knew it was one of these. You know.

-It was more that than that.

-Yeah.

-Wow.

-So I'm afraid it means you haven't achieved Perfection

and you go home with no cash. Perhaps you can still

achieve Perfection at home. Let's go through the last one.

Would you rather lose by one or two? Miss it by one?

-I wouldn't want to miss it just on that question.

-All right.

We've switched things around now, we'd quite like to be wrong here.

Sternutation is another word for snoring.

You said it sounded a nice word for snoring. So you went with true.

We'd quite like this to go red now so that it's not just the Jazz one

because then you'd be able to face your dad when you get back.

Sternutation is another word for snoring, is that true or false?

-Yeah, it's false. You got that wrong.

-Good!

It's actually another word for sneezing.

Funny how you wanted that to be wrong at the end there!

OK, so 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 £4,000.

APPLAUSE

Jo, you failed to achieve Perfection,

it means you go home with no cash but you go home with

-our thanks for being such a great player. Did you enjoy it?

-I did.

I've had such a great time, everyone's been fantastic.

-Let's hear it for Jo, 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 £4,000.

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

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
