Episode 45 Perfection

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

These four contestants are 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.

Here are our contestants, the Usual Suspects.

They are in our isolation room.

In a moment we'll find out who 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, the Usual Suspects

are allowed into the game to capitalise on their mistakes.

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

I'm Shirley, I'm from Bathgate, I'm a retired midwife

and this is my first game.

I'm Chris, from Bishops Waltham, in Hampshire.

I'm a local government officer and this is my first game.

I'm Robin, I'm from Twickenham, I'm a sound designer

and this is my second game.

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

I'm a sales assistant in a games shop and this is my third game.

Welcome to you all and good luck as we now find out which

one of you has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

Shirley! It's you!

APPLAUSE

Please come and join me.

-Shirley, welcome to the show. Let's find out more about you. So, a midwife.

-Yes.

-What a fantastic job, to bring new life into the world.

-Yes, lovely.

How many new lives have you delivered?

-Over 1,000, although I didn't keep count.

-That's extraordinary.

And you do a bit of travelling with it as well.

Yeah, I went to Peru on the Amazon Hope. It's a medical mission.

They realised that they were short of a dental nurse,

so I ended up being a dental nurse on the mission.

Opposite end, really.

Yes! LAUGHTER

All right, let's press on with the game, shall we?

Shirley, it's you versus the Usual Suspects.

Once your team-mates, now your enemies.

Their job, 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 sitting here playing for a bigger total.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Here's the good news - no-one has won the last three games,

so the prize fund currently stands at £4,000!

APPLAUSE

That's very good.

So what would you spend £4,000 on if you leave with it tonight?

I'd like to do a cruise to Alaska.

-It's supposed to be spectacular, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-Best of luck.

You'll play three rounds and then a final.

Every round you achieve Perfection will make the final easier.

But if your performance is less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects can step in and steal the round,

making the final harder for you. More of that to come.

Usual Suspects, we're switching you off

so you can't see or hear anything.

You can talk through your answers without giving away vital knowledge.

Each round consists of four true or false statements.

You will be answering against the clock.

You only have 45 seconds and once you give an answer,

your first answer, it will be locked in.

-Ready?

-Yes.

Let's play Perfection!

APPLAUSE

Round One, your 45 seconds start now.

-I think that's false. I don't remember a fireman.

-False.

-That doesn't sound right, I'll say false for that one too.

-False.

-I think she was born in England. I'll say false.

-False.

-That's true, yeah, he's American.

-True.

And with time to spare, very decisive.

But that's a midwife thing, really. Can't really...

"I wonder what we'll do next." You kind of have to be decisive.

Before we reveal how well you've done it's time to bring back

the Usual Suspects. Don't forget they'll be able to hear you.

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

Shirley's answers.

Harriet, has she achieved Perfection?

I think she has, actually, yes.

Robin, anything wrong

with these answers?

-I'm not sure about A. I'm sure there was a fireman.

-OK.

Chris, what do you think?

Not too sure about B. I think that one might be wrong.

Or it might be true.

A mixed bag from the Usual Suspects.

Let's find out how many are right.

Three out of four is not bad

but it's not Perfection.

The Usual Suspects are back in the game with a chance to steal the round.

You need to change one answer but which one?

I don't think there's a fireman in the Village People.

Shall we go for B then?

-I'd rather go for B.

-Right.

We're going to change B from false to true.

B changes from false to true, leaving A, C and D

as answered by Shirley.

Thank you very much, Harriet.

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

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

One of the Village People portrayed a fireman. Is that true or false?

It is false.

There was a cowboy, Indian, a GI, a builder, a policeman and a biker.

Certainly no fireman. The Jacuzzi is named after its inventor Mr Jacuzzi.

This is the key one. Is this true or false?

It's true, in actual fact.

Chris championed that one and she was quite right to.

Sue Barker was born in Wales, true or false?

False. She was born in England. She's from Paignton, Devon.

She was known as the Paignton Peach.

Bobby Fischer was a famous chess player, true or false?

True.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Oh, dear, Shirley.

They succeeded where you failed and stole the round.

Usual Suspects, you have the opportunity to make

Shirley's chances of winning the prize fund in the final much harder. Here's how.

Shirley, this is your final board.

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

Here are your Final Round categories.

If you had won the round you'd have the chance to choose

two categories of your own to go into the final,

but because the Usual Suspects stole the round, they get to choose

the two categories, hoping to make the final more difficult for you.

Usual Suspects, which two would you like Shirley to play?

-Not Rod Stewart.

-No.

-No. Definitely not. What about Galileo?

-OK, yeah.

-We'll have Galileo, please.

-Galileo goes into the final. And?

-Moscow, maybe?

Or Textiles.

-I'd go with either of those.

-Moscow?

-Moscow.

And we'll go for Moscow as well, please.

Moscow goes into the final as well.

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

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

Let's have a little chat. They can't hear us now. Galileo?

-I'm not sure about that one.

-Moscow? Could be good. Look

at the list and pick me two

you would choose for yourself given the opportunity.

Probably 1960s Music...

Rod Stewart. Although they are not going to choose it

so I'll have to choose that one for myself.

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

-Ballet and Antiques.

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

You still have two more chances to find Perfection

and choose your own categories for the final.

-Ready?

-Yes.

-Let's play Round Two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-I... Yes, that's true.

-True.

I've read her books. Some of them are set in America.

-I will say true.

-True.

-I've been to Jamaica and that's true.

-True.

-Oh, that's familiar... I've heard it in the news. I'd say true.

-True.

And with a little time to spare you answered all four statements.

-How did you feel, good?

-Yeah, quite good. I'm not sure about B, though.

Not sure about B. Before we reveal how well you've done,

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Shirley's answers. Robin, is that another perfect board?

I don't actually have any idea. They are rotters.

LAUGHTER

All right. Chris?

The only one I think is the last one,

-not so sure about the Kenyan bit.

-Harriet, what do you think?

The only one I'd think of changing would be maybe A.

I think coquille is something else, for some reason,

but I don't know why.

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

Three out of four.

Consistent, but unfortunately just under Perfection,

which means the Usual Suspects are into the game again.

You have the chance to steal the round.

-You need to change one answer but which one?

-Tonton I thought...

Yeah, it doesn't sound African or anything.

I think it's a fighting force, but I'm not sure about Kenyan.

It doesn't sound Kenyan.

-If I was changing one I'd change D.

-Shall we change D then?

-Yeah.

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

D changes from true to false, leaving

A, B and C as answered by Shirley.

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

Coquille St Jacques is a dish containing scallops, true or false?

It is true. Patricia Highsmith is an American-born author, true or false?

It's true.

Montego Bay is a holiday resort in Jamaica, true or false?

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

The Tonton Macoute were a Kenyan fighting force, true or false?

It's false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

Well, just as Chris said, the Tonton Macoute were not a Kenyan

fighting force, they were a Haitian paramilitary group.

So, Chris, well done again.

That's twice you've picked the right one

and led the Usual Suspects in the right direction.

They succeeded where you failed and stole the round.

Usual Suspects, you get to make things difficult

for Shirley and make the chances of her winning £4,000 even harder.

Let's see the final board.

Because you won the round you get to choose the next two

categories to add to the board.

Which two would you like her to play?

What about Medals? Yeah, Medals.

Yeah, Medals. Medals for one, then.

Medals goes across.

-And maybe Textiles?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-And we'll have Textiles as well, please.

-Textiles goes into the final.

Congratulations to the Usual Suspects, you won the second round.

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

-They kept away from all the good ones and bad ones for you.

-Yes.

-Textiles?

-Maybe, yeah. And maybe Medals.

Well, you got really close both times, three out of four both times.

You just need to go that little bit further and achieve Perfection

this time to choose two categories for the final.

-OK?

-Yeah.

-Let's play Round Three.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-I think that's true.

-True.

-He's a character in James Bond, but I'm not sure. I'd say false.

-False.

-I think that's false too. Is that not in Greenwich?

-False.

It's the world's deepest,

but I don't think it's the longest.

-I'll say false.

-False.

And with good time management,

you've answered all four statements within the time.

-Did that feel good?

-Not bad.

-Might have done it this time?

-I hope so.

-Before we reveal exactly how well you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, here are the four statements

and next to them are Shirley's answers.

What do you think, Chris?

If I was going to change one, it might be D.

-Robin?

-Again, I'm not too sure she's got D right.

-That's the only one I would question.

-Harriet?

Yeah, same here, as well.

I'm thinking D could possibly be wrong.

OK, Shirley, 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.

Congratulations, Shirley. You have achieved Perfection.

That's great news for you.

Let's go through them one at a time in more detail.

The Great Gatsby was published in the 1920s...

Of course, that's absolutely true. Do you know who by?

-F Scott Fitzgerald.

-Exactly right.

Well done. Le Chiffre is a character in Goldfinger. That is false.

And he was a character from Bond movies,

but it was from Casino Royale.

Not Goldfinger.

The Royal Observatory is in London's Highgate.

You said you thought it was in Greenwich, you said it's false.

It is false, and it is in Greenwich. You're absolutely right.

Lake Baikal is the world's longest freshwater lake.

You said you thought it was the deepest, but not the longest,

so you said false and you're right on that as well.

Lake Tanganyika is 25 miles longer.

Very well played.

That's a perfect round and you managed to dodge all the tricks

and pitfalls in those questions.

As a result of that perfect performance,

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

Let's have a look at the final board.

It's 4-0 to the Usual Suspects at the moment,

in terms of choosing categories, but thanks to that perfect play,

you get the chance to add two of your own choice

to complete the board.

-I'll take Rod Stewart, please.

-Rod Stewart goes into the final.

Usual Suspects all giggling away there.

One they were definitely going to avoid choosing for you.

And I'll try 1960s Music as well, please.

1960s Music goes into the final. We now know our six final categories.

They are...

Time to switch you off, Usual Suspects, for the last time.

Cheerio.

Shirley, for £4,000, it is time to play the final.

This is the all-important final.

If you achieve Perfection, you could leave with a prize fund of £4,000.

If you fail, you'll be leaving with nothing, which will be great news

for the Usual Suspects, as one of them could be

playing for a rollover of £5,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

Here are your final six categories...

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £4,000. Think carefully.

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

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

-Yep.

Let's reveal your first statement.

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

-Gosh... I haven't heard that. I'll say false.

-False.

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

-True.

-Oh, gosh.

-I've heard of the...

There's the Dick Vet School.

Dickin medal...

Animal bravery...

-I'll say true.

-True.

-That sounds like it could be true... Yes, true.

-True.

That's the four categories dealt with that the Usual Suspects

chose for you, now the two categories you chose for yourself.

Rod Stewart.

Now, he claims...

He's got Scottish heritage, but I think he was born in England. True.

True.

See Emily Play...

I've never heard of that one with Status Quo,

-so I'm going to say false.

-False.

And with that, you've answered all six statements

and they are locked in.

Remember, if there's one mistake, you go home with nothing.

-Which ones worry you?

-The Dickin medal, C.

I haven't heard of that, so I'm not sure on C.

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.

Next to them are Shirley's answers.

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

by yourself, but if you think you've made a mistake, you can

unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects.

That will, however, come at a cost.

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

how well you think Shirley has done,

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

Shirley, who would you like to hear from first?

I'd like to hear from Chris, please.

I think you've done quite well,

but there are definitely two that I'm really not sure about,

so, for that reason, I won't be coming to join you.

Robin, please.

There is a couple there that I just have no idea on,

so, unfortunately, I'm not going to offer to come help.

And, Harriet?

I think you've got one wrong, but I'm not too sure on it myself,

so, because of that, I'd have to rule myself out.

Nobody prepared to come down. £4,000 in the pot...

no matter how much of that was offered -

and I'm not saying you are offering -

but none of you are interested in coming down to help?

-No.

-Sorry.

-All right.

Shirley, none of the Usual Suspects are prepared to help you,

so you're on your own.

£4,000 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.

How you feeling about this round?

-I'm not too sure.

-You're worried about C, aren't you?

-I'm worried about C, yeah.

-All right, let's start at the top.

Galileo was executed for heresy. You said you thought you'd have

known about that if that was the case, so you said false.

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

Is it true or false?

It's false.

He was imprisoned for heresy but not executed for that.

GUM is a large department store in Moscow. You went with true.

If this turns green, you're two for two. Is that true or false?

It is true.

Very well done.

-Where would you have heard something like that?

-I don't know.

Isn't it weird how we collect information along the way?

OK, moving on. The Dickin medal is awarded for animal bravery.

Let's skip over that and come back to it, shall we?

The fabric damask takes its name from Damascus.

You had a long think about this and in the end decided it was true.

Is that really likely?

If it turns green, you're halfway to the money all on your own.

The fabric damask takes its name from Damascus.

Is that true or false?

True.

You're one step closer to that trip to Alaska.

Now, we come onto the two subject categories chosen for yourself.

And all the Usual Suspects smiled when you picked Rod Stewart.

I think they felt that was always likely to be one of your choices.

Then the statement was...

Rod Stewart was born in England.

You had a long think about this and thought it was true.

Although, obviously he claims a Scottish heritage.

-Yeah.

-You need this to turn green to keep you on course for the £4,000.

Is it true or false?

It is true.

Born in north London in 1945.

OK, See Emily Play is an early single by Status Quo.

Again, this is one that you said you didn't think so.

You thought you'd have heard of it if it was a Status Quo track.

-Were you a Status Quo fan?

-In my youth, yes.

I think we all were in our youth.

So you said false. You need this to turn red.

If this turns red, then you are only one away from the £4,000.

If it turns green, the money here rolls over

for the Usual Suspects to play for in the next round.

Is it true or false?

It is in fact an early single by Pink Floyd.

Now we come back to the one that you were worried about.

C, the Dickin medal is awarded for animal bravery. You mentioned...

What was your theory on this?

Just that there's the Dick Vet School in Glasgow or Edinburgh...

The Dick Vet School? I wonder whether that has any bearing.

Well...

You said, on that basis, it's possible that

the Dickin medal was awarded for animal bravery.

You hadn't heard of it and this is why it's worrying you so much.

Nonetheless, you went for true. You need this to turn green.

If it does, you walk away with £4,000 all on your own,

in your first game.

You literally walked on, got selected, came down,

and here you are playing for Perfection.

You're one away from taking a cruise to Alaska.

If it turns red, the money rolls over for the Usual Suspects.

So, the Dickin medal is awarded for animal bravery. You said true.

You need this to turn green.

Is it true or false, for £4,000?

It's true! Congratulations! You have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

-How fantastic is that?

-Fantastic.

-£4,000.

That's incredible.

Definitely going to go on that holiday?

Yes, definitely. Yes.

The Dickin medal, awarded for animal bravery.

In actual fact, it doesn't appear to have any connection

with the Dick Vet School.

-It was awarded to animals for brave service in Word War Two.

-Oh, right.

In actual fact. Very well done.

Six out of six. A fantastic performance.

Usual Suspects, not such good news for you, I'm afraid.

The prize fund has been won,

so we reset the table back to £1,000 in the next game.

-But what a fantastic game she played, didn't she?

-Yeah.

Really, really well done.

Really, really deserve it.

If you actually think about it, in your three rounds,

you only got two questions wrong.

You got three out of four, three out of four, then four out of four.

-Congratulations.

-Thank you.

-You're walking home with £4,000.

-Let's hear it for Shirley.

-APPLAUSE

I don't know about walking home,

probably could afford to get a limo on that, as well.

It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect

hoping to play Perfection today.

Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hello, my name's Dan, I'm from Plymouth

and I'm an engineering team leader.

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

one of you has been randomly picked to play Perfection.

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

Chris, welcome to the game.

You and Shirley arrived together to play the game.

-She came straight down, you followed her into the same seat.

-Exactly, yes.

Let's press on. Chris, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Now, unfortunately for you, the previous game was won,

but nonetheless, the prize fund is reset to £1,000.

Which is very good money if you walk in, play a game and wander off.

-Absolutely.

-That'd be nice, wouldn't it? What you going to spend it on?

I'm retiring shortly, so I'd like to spend some of it on a holiday.

I've got two lovely grandsons and they've sort of got my heart,

-so they probably...

-You'll spoil them a little bit is what you mean.

I think that's a strong possibility.

-That's what grandparents are supposed to do.

-Exactly.

Three rounds and a final to come.

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

so you can't see or hear anything, but as soon as Chris makes

a mistake, you will be back in the game.

Chris, when they're like this, you can talk through your answers

-without giving away vital knowledge. Ready?

-Fine. Off we go.

-Let's play Perfection.

-APPLAUSE

Round One. Your 45 seconds start now.

-I'm pretty sure that's false.

-False.

I can't think that happened.

I mean, he's pretty well known, so I would think he would be a captain.

-I would go true on that one.

-True.

I think it...

-I think that's true.

-True.

And finally...

-No, that's false. It was George VI.

-False.

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

-How was that?

-A bit indecisive.

I thought you did very well.

You took time to think about things when you needed to.

-You used the time correctly.

-I'm not too sure about C.

You spent time thinking about that one.

Before we find out exactly how well you've done,

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Don't forget, they'll be able to hear you.

So, Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are Chris's answers.

Harriet, has she achieved Perfection?

I'm not sure about D, because I know Colin Firth played

the King in The King's Speech, but I'm not sure what number he was.

-Robin?

-Exactly the same as Harriet.

That's the one I would pick for the same reason, really.

Dan, can you see anything wrong with these answers?

I'd agree with the other guys, to be honest.

All right, 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.

Congratulations, Chris, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

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

If the statement is true, it will turn green,

if it's false, it will turn red.

Princess Anne was born on the royal yacht Britannia.

You said that was unlikely, and so went with false, and it is...

false. She was born at Clarence House.

WG Grace captained England in cricket, you said that was true

because he's very famous and it is absolutely true.

Ireland was officially neutral throughout World War II.

You said true and it's absolutely true.

And Colin Firth played George V in The King's Speech.

You said it was wrong because you thought it was George VI and it is

in fact false because it is.

He played George VI.

Chris, as a result of that perfect performance,

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

Here's your final board.

These six blank spaces need to be filled with subject categories

and here they are appearing.

Starting with Gambling and running through California, Scandinavia

and onto Woody Allen, with many more in between.

Because you won the round, you can choose two categories

to add to the board. Which would you like?

-Um, I'll have California, I think. I've been there.

-California goes in.

-And I think Charles Dickens.

-And Charles Dickens goes into the final.

Very well done. Usual Suspects, you didn't get much of a look in there.

-No.

-We'll see you in Round Two where maybe you will get a chance.

Cheerio. And away they go.

Whilst we've got that list there, let's look at it in more detail.

What will be your next two choices, do you think?

I wonder if The Tube is the Underground.

If it's the Underground, I would go for The Tube.

I've been on that quite a lot.

After that it gets a bit difficult. Helen Mirren, maybe.

-And two you're desperate to avoid?

-Definitely Physics.

It was an awful subject at school.

And Haboob because I really don't know what that means.

Well, you started out really well.

If you carry on like that, you'll be able to choose

all your own subjects, and more importantly,

even if they are tough ones there, avoid the ones you really don't want.

Ready to play on?

-Yes, absolutely.

-Let's play Round Two.

Your 45 seconds start now.

-I have heard of it. I think that's true.

-True.

-No, it's definitely the Canadian dollar. That's false.

-False.

-I think.

-I haven't got a clue on that one, so I'll say false.

-False. And finally...

I think they're in Rome, so that is false.

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

You didn't seem quite so confident that time.

I'm not 100% on any of them. No.

Before we reveal how you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Robin, what do you make of those answers?

-It looks like she's got Perfection.

-Dan?

Yes, I'd agree, I think you've done well there, Chris.

Harriet, can you find anything wrong with those answers?

I don't know if it's a red herring,

-but I thought D might be wrong for some reason.

-OK.

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

-Oh, just two out of four.

-Oh!

-In a 50-50 game, that's an average score.

Certainly not Perfection.

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

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

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

B is definitely false because it's the dollar.

And you had an inkling about D as well.

Yes, I thought they were in Barcelona, for some reason.

-OK, what about A?

-A's fine, I think.

-And what about C?

-Because I thought it was called The Factory.

-Yeah, I think that as well.

-So shall we change the bottom two?

-Yes, I'm happy with that.

-Yes? OK, we'll change C from false to true.

-C from false to true.

And D from false to true.

And D from false to true, leaving A and B as answered by Chris.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

A keeled skink is a type of butterfly - true or false?

It's false.

Usual Suspects, you had the chance to achieve Perfection

and you failed to do it. I wonder if you can achieve Perfection at home.

Let's go through the rest of them, but also clear that up.

-A keeled skink is a type of lizard.

-A skink.

A skink, basically, yeah.

Moving on, the monetary unit of Canada is the Canadian pound.

Yes, that's false, as you all knew.

That's the dollar you're looking for.

Andy Warhol's studio was known as The Factory.

That one's true. That was the right one to change.

The famous Spanish Steps are in Barcelona - true or false?

Yes, false. In fact, they are in Rome.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved Perfection,

you'd have the chance to make Chris's chance of winning much harder in the final.

Let's look at the board.

Two subject categories chosen by Chris so far.

As neither side won the round, the two categories due to be chosen

are carried over to the next round, so four categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, I'll switch you off and we'll see you in Round Three.

Chris, with four categories on offer,

-this would be a really good one to get Perfection on.

-Absolutely.

All right, let's play Round Three.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

No, it's a type of bun, so that is false.

False.

-I know nothing about Formula 1. I'll say true for that one.

-True.

-That is absolutely true, I've been up it.

-True.

And finally...

-I think that's false. I think it might be more likely China.

-False.

And with time to spare - good time management on those.

You've answered all four statements. How does that feel?

I'd say two I definitely know, the other two I'm just not really sure.

Which two are you absolutely sure of?

A and C.

Before we find out how well you've done,

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

-Dan, has she achieved Perfection?

-I think she's close to it.

I'm not sure about B.

I know Niki Lauda did win the world championship.

But I think he possibly won it four times.

-Robin.

-C is a bit of a question mark for me.

-I thought it was in the Netherlands.

-Harriet.

I agree with Dan about B.

The moment of truth, you need to have answered all four perfectly.

Let's see how many are correct.

Three out of four is not bad. But it's not enough to take the round.

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

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

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

-B?

-I don't know for definite, but I'm pretty sure he came back after

his accident and I think he did win it again some years later, so...

I've got an inkling that it might be four times.

Shall we go two to one then?

-Yes.

-OK then, we'll change B from true to false.

B changes from true to false,

leaving A, C and D as answered by Chris.

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

It is false. It is a bun.

That's true.

Usual Suspects, you had the chance to steal the round from Chris,

but you failed to find Perfection.

I wonder if you can find Perfection at home. Let's carry on with those.

Yes, he did win the Formula 1 World Championship three times.

The Atomium is a famous landmark in Brussels, is that true or false?

We now know it to be true.

The Saffron Revolution took place in Burma - true or false?

That is the one that's actually true.

That's the one you were looking to change.

Usual Suspects, had you achieved Perfection, you'd have the chance

to make Chris's chance of winning much harder in the final.

Let's look at the board.

Only two subject categories chosen,

despite the fact we've just finished Round Three.

So uncommitted as you are, we have to fill these spaces.

We'll now fill them by taking it in turns.

As the single player, Chris, you get to go first.

Which subject would you like to choose to go into the final?

-I'll take The Tube.

-The Tube. Going into the final.

Usual Suspects, can you choose a category, please?

-Do any of you know what Haboob is?

-No.

-I've no idea.

-Stamps?

-OK, yes.

-OK, we'll have Stamps, please.

-Stamps goes into the final.

-And you get to choose another one, Chris.

-I'll have Helen Mirren.

Helen Mirren goes into the final. And your last category, please.

-Gambling?

-That's fine by me.

-Yes.

-We'll have Gambling, please.

And Gambling goes into the final.

What was it about the word Haboob that attracted you, Dan?

The H and the A.

LAUGHTER

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

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

Chris, for £1,000, it's time to play the final.

This is the final. If you can achieve Perfection,

you could leave with a prize fund of £1,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing. Great news for the Usual Suspects

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £2,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

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

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £1,000. Think carefully, there is no time limit.

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

-Are you ready?

-OK.

-Then let's reveal your first statement.

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

California.

I think that...is true.

True.

Charles Dickens.

Gosh, I've seen that. Um...

I think it's false.

False. The Tube.

No, that is false. That is London cab drivers.

False. Stamps.

I think that could be true. It sounds daft enough to be true.

True.

Helen Mirren.

That is very definitely false. She's older than me.

And I wasn't born in the 1960s.

False.

I'm shocked. Gambling.

I think it was earlier than that.

I'm sure I can remember betting shops

-when I was a child. I think that is false.

-False.

And with that, those answers are locked in.

If there is one mistake, you leave with nothing.

-Which are you unsure of?

-I'm not totally sure of A.

I really don't know about B.

I can remember the inspector, but I can't remember the name.

I'm happy with C.

D, I really don't know.

I'm happy with E.

And I'm not 100% with F.

-So A, B and F are the ones.

-There are some iffy ones in there.

All right, let's see what the Usual Suspects have to say.

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final six statements

and Chris's answers.

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

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

This will however come at a cost.

Who would you like to hear from first?

-Harriet, what do you think I've got there?

-Hello, Chris.

I'm not too sure on it myself

and also it's not enough money, so I wouldn't come down.

-It doesn't surprise me.

-Who would you like to hear from next?

-Robin.

I think you've done really well, but again, there's not enough money.

I didn't think you'd be biting to come down.

-What about Dan?

-Hi, Chris, I think you've done really well there.

And I'm not confident enough to change anything,

so I'm not coming down either.

They are mainly interested in the money rolling over.

Whether they knew or not, I don't think they'd be coming down to help.

But who knows? You might manage it on your own.

None of the Usual Suspects want to help, so you're on your own.

£1,000 at stake, six answers away, let's find out

if you have achieved Perfection.

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

How should we start this off? I tell you what we'll do,

let's start with the two you're absolutely certain of.

C, for example, you said you were absolutely sure of this.

All London Tube drivers have to pass the Knowledge.

You said it was false because you know it's taxi drivers.

Let's find out if that's true or false.

Yes, it's false.

Yes, it is taxi drivers, of course it is.

And E, you said you're absolutely sure.

Helen Mirren was born in the 1960s.

You said you absolutely know she is older than you,

though I was shocked to find out you weren't born in the '60s.

True or false?

Yes, false. Of course.

In fact, born in 1945.

Let's go back to the other two you chose at the top.

California has a border with a Mexican state.

You said you thought this was true,

but you were a little bit tentative about it

and you've been to California.

I have, yes, but I didn't go to the far south of California.

Yes. The question is,

whether California connects directly to a Mexican state. You said true.

We need this to turn green to get you halfway to the money all on your own.

Is it true or false?

Yes, it is true, very well done.

Inspector Bucket is a character in Bleak House.

You've read Bleak House, you've seen it?

I saw it on television, it was on television.

And you remember there being an inspector,

but you don't remember it being Inspector Bucket, so you said false.

We need this to turn red to get you two away from the money.

Is it true or false?

-Oh!

-It's true!

As a result of that mistake, you haven't achieved Perfection

and you won't be taking home any cash.

I wonder if you can achieve Perfection at home.

Let's look at the rest of those statements and answers.

The Inverted Jenny is a rare US stamp. You said this was true.

We need this to turn green. Is it true or false?

It is true. Very well done. It's an upside-down aeroplane.

It was printed the wrong way up. So we are just down to the last one.

Betting shops were legalised in Britain in the 1960s.

You said it must have been earlier than that

because you remember seeing them as a child.

So you said false. Is that true of false?

In fact, that's true.

1 May 1961.

Usual Suspects, the prize fund rolls over to the next game

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

Chris, you failed to achieve Perfection,

which means you go home with nothing other than our thanks.

You played a good game, I think.

Yes, and I've had a brilliant time here, so it's been good.

We've loved having you. Thank you. Let's hear it for Chris, everybody.

APPLAUSE

That's all we have time for.

Please join us again next time

when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play again,

this time for £2,000.

And remember, on this show we will pay you for absolute Perfection,

just like we had in the first game.

Cheerio. See you next time.
