Episode 51 Perfection

Welcome to the show that demands nothing less than 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?

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 an answer wrong,

their opponents, the Usual Suspects here,

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

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

I'm Adam. I'm from Wotton-under-Edge.

I'm a student and this is my first game.

I'm Anita from Coventry. I'm a curriculum support officer and this is my second game.

My name's James. I'm a call centre manager from Leeds and this is my fifth game.

I'm Richard from Brixham.

I'm a retired driving instructor and this is my sixth game.

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

which one of you has been picked to play Perfection.

James, it's you.

Come down and join me, please.

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

You say that you work in a call centre,

but you're also a member of a band,

which has a bit of a following around Leeds.

Probably from, like, you know, the noise police or something,

but we have got some fans and we do play across Leeds,

but not really anywhere else.

-What instrument do you play?

-I play guitar and sing.

Do you? Both at the same time?

Um, well, not very well, but, yeah, I do try.

-OK, James, you were a Usual Suspect. Did you enjoy that?

-I did, yes.

I'm not sure if I was a bit too evil, though, so we'll see how...

Yeah, trust me, they might have been your team-mates before.

They're now definitely your enemies.

Their job is to stop you winning the prize fund

because your failure means the prize money rolls over to the next game,

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

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

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

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

So, what will you be spending that on

-when you leave with it in the near future?

-Mainly wine.

-Is that right? You're a bit of a wine buff?

-No. I just like drinking lots of wine.

LAUGHTER

My wife would like to continue her education,

like to squeeze a holiday in there as well, probably.

£6,000 is a decent sum of money. Gives you some options, doesn't it?

-It does, yeah. It's great.

-OK, best of luck.

You'll play three rounds and then a final.

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

However, if your performance is less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects will have a chance to steal the round,

making the final that much harder for you.

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 have 45 seconds and once you've given an answer, it will be locked in.

-Are you ready?

-I am.

-Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round one. Your 45 seconds starts now.

-I think that's false.

-False.

-I certainly don't think that's true. That's definitely false.

-False.

I'm going to take a guess and say yes, he has.

So, you're saying...?

-True.

-True.

And finally...

-I'm sure that's false.

-False.

You've answered all four statements

with plenty of time to spare.

-How was that round?

-Yeah, good.

-Maybe? Maybe Perfection?

-Perhaps.

OK, before we reveal how well you've done,

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

These were the four statements. Next to them are James' answers.

Richard, get us started. Has he achieved Perfection?

I don't think Roger Federer's got an Olympic gold medal.

I know Andy Murray won it last year,

but I don't think Roger Federer has.

Adam, can you see anything wrong with these?

Roger Federer, I'm not sure about.

And also A, the Yul Brynner.

-Those are the two I would doubt.

-OK, the moment of truth.

You need to answer all four statements perfectly.

Let's see how many are correct.

Three out of four's not bad,

but it isn't Perfection.

Unfortunately, you've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Can you steal the round?

You can see James' answers.

-You need to change just one. Which one?

-What do you think? C?

That was my inkling, but I'm not 100%

I'm fairly confident of that one.

I think that's the...

-I agree with that, yeah.

-Yeah, I agree.

-OK.

We will take C from true to false, then, Nick, please.

C changes from true to false,

leaving A, B and D as answered by James.

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

The actor Yul Brynner was born in Vladivostok. True or false?

It's true.

Dear, oh, dear. Usual Suspects, you had the chance to steal the round,

but you failed to take that opportunity.

I wonder if you can achieve Perfection.

Let's go through the rest of the statements.

The Vice President of the USA is Edward Snowden.

Is that true or false?

Yeah, that is, in fact, false.

Edward Snowden was the man who blew the whistle

on the USA controversial surveillance policy.

Roger Federer has an Olympic gold medal. True or false?

Yeah, true. In doubles in 2008.

The Monaco flag has casino chips depicted on it. True or false?

Yeah, false.

In actual fact, its top half is red, bottom half white.

James, appearing before you is your final board.

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

Behind each will be a true or false statement.

Here are your final round category options,

starting with Capital Cities, going through Palaces,

Hotels and onto Racehorses, with many more in between.

Now, if you'd have achieved Perfection,

you'd now have the opportunity of adding two categories to the board,

but as neither of you could achieve Perfection,

it means the two categories will be carried over to the next round,

meaning four categories will be on offer.

So, Usual Suspects, time to switch you off.

You missed an opportunity there. We'll see you in round two.

Now the Usual Suspects have gone, we can have a little chat about that list.

So, which will be the first two you choose?

The Inquisition and Capital Cities, probably.

And two you'd like to avoid?

Racehorses and Japanese Food.

In order to win the prize fund,

you'll need to answer all six statements correctly.

Winning the next round could prove crucial

when there are four categories on offer.

-So, are you ready?

-Yes.

-Then let's play round two.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-False.

-False.

-I'm going to say that's true.

-True.

-I'm going to say that's false.

-False.

And finally...

-That's true.

-True. And again, with plenty of time to spare,

you've answered all four statements.

-Slightly more confident this time?

-No.

-Not really?

-No.

Before we reveal exactly how well you've done,

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements

and next to them are James' answers.

Anita, has he achieved Perfection this time?

I think he's got A wrong

because I remember performing the cancan when I was at school

and I think it was in Vienna.

So, I'd change A from false to true.

OK, interesting school you went to there.

Adam, can you see anything wrong with these answers?

Yeah, definitely not Perfection.

B - he's from New Zealand,

but he plays rugby for us in England.

And also I think C as well.

I've been to America a few times

and I do think they call icing sugar powdered sugar there.

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

Just two out of four.

In a 50-50 game, that's an average score and as a result,

the Usual Suspects are back in the game.

Can you steal this round?

You need to change two answers, but which two?

-B. B, definitely.

-B, yeah.

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

-B from true to false.

-Powdered sugar.

I've got a feeling at the back of my mind.

I've been to America a few times.

Yeah, all right, we'll change C from false to true, Nick, please.

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

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

The cancan was first performed in Vienna. True or false?

Yes, it's false, in actual fact.

It's of French or North African origin, in actual fact.

Manu Tuilagi plays rugby union for New Zealand. True or false?

Yeah, that's false.

Born in Samoa, but plays for England and, of course, the British Lions.

Powdered sugar is a US name for icing sugar. True or false?

It's true. Very well done, Adam.

And Alfred Hitchcock directed the film Vertigo. True or false?

It's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved Perfection.

That's not going to work out very well for you, James, I'm afraid.

Let's see the final board.

Currently, a barren wasteland with no subjects chosen,

but because, Usual Suspects, you won the round,

you have earned the right to choose four categories to add to the board.

That's two from this round and two that rolled over from round one.

-Racehorses.

-I was drawn to Racehorses straightaway.

We'll take Racehorses, Nick, please.

-Racehorses goes into the final.

-What about The Inquisition?

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-Yeah, let's go for it.

-The Inquisition.

-The Inquisition goes in.

-Miss World, yeah?

-Yeah.

-We'll take Miss World, then, Nick.

-Miss World goes in. And one more.

-Maybe Comic Strips?

-Comic Strips?

-Yeah, we could do, yeah.

We'll go with Comic Strips, Nick, please.

And Comic Strips.

OK, congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You won the second round. Time to switch you off. We'll see you in round three.

-You didn't want Racehorses.

-No.

But they've chosen The Inquisition,

-which is something you would have chosen anyway.

-Yeah, yeah.

-So, that's quite handy. Miss World?

-No idea.

-And Comic Strips.

-Might be OK with that one.

-Are you ready to continue?

-I am, yeah.

-Then let's play round three.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-That's true.

-True.

-I'd say that's false.

-False.

-True.

-True.

And finally...

-False.

-False.

Again, with plenty of time to spare,

you answered all four.

-You don't hang about in answering.

-I think I know some of them,

and some of them, I definitely don't know.

-Just go with the gut instinct?

-Yeah.

OK, before we reveal exactly how well you've done,

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

Here are the four statements and next to them are James' answers.

Anita, what do you make of these answers?

I'd probably change B.

A female ferret might be called Jill cos it's a funny little character

so it might have a random name.

Interesting theory. Richard?

Yeah, I don't think I'd change anything on that board.

-I'd say he's got Perfection.

-OK, James, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to win.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Better, but not quite Perfection

and it means you still let the Usual Suspects into the game.

You need to change one answer, Usual Suspects, but which one?

D, he's definitely got right

cos Warwick Davis didn't play Bilbo Baggins.

-C, I think, is right.

-Cos she was in it.

-B is a random thing, really.

-Yeah.

-I would go A. That'd be my opinion.

-A. Yeah, I'll be happy with that.

All right, Nick, we'll change A from true to false.

A changes from true to false,

leaving B, C and D as answered by James.

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

Elizabeth Woodville was the wife of Edward IV. True or false?

It's true.

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

but you failed to find Perfection. I wonder whether you can find Perfection at home.

A female ferret is known as a Jill. True or false?

True. Anita, you were absolutely right.

Take That's single Relight My Fire featured Lulu. True or false?

Yeah, that's true.

Warwick Davis played Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit. True or false?

Yeah, it's false. Martin Freeman, in actual fact.

So, let's see the final board.

Four separate categories on there and nobody won round three,

meaning we have two blank spaces to fill.

So, how do we do it?

Well, you take it in turns and as you are the single player,

James, you get to go first.

So, which subject category would be your only choice going into that final?

I'm going to go for James Bond.

James Bond goes into the final.

And Usual Suspects, one category, please.

Hotels maybe. Does he know anything about hotels?

-Yeah?

-We'll go with Hotels, Nick, please.

Hotels goes in. We now know our six final categories.

They are Racehorses, The Inquisition, Miss World,

Comic Strips, James Bond and Hotels.

The Usual Suspects, it's time to switch you off for the final time.

You only got the one James Bond, but then they helped you with The Inquisition

so it's a kind of two out of six board.

Hotels. I used to work in a hotel - in the hotel business -

so that might help, hopefully.

All right, well, James, for £6,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

If you can achieve Perfection, you could be leaving with a prize fund of £6,000.

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

great news for the Usual Suspects

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

Let's play the final round.

James, here are your six final categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £6,000.

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

your first answer - it's locked in.

-Are you ready?

-I am.

Then let's reveal your first statement. Racehorses.

-I would say that's false.

-False.

-I think that's false as well.

-False.

-I believe that's true.

-True.

-That's true.

-True.

James Bond - the only category you chose for yourself.

-I think that's false.

-False.

And finally...

-I think that's correct.

-So, you're saying...?

-I'm saying that's true.

-True.

And with that, James,

those answers are now locked.

If there's one mistake, you leave with nothing.

So, which ones are you unsure of?

I'm unsure of C, Chris de Burgh's daughter. I have no idea, really.

D, I've seen the comic book, but I'm not sure of the author.

The one to James Bond, I'm not sure of either.

-So, it's C, D and E are the ones that are worrying you?

-Yeah.

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 James' answers.

James, your answers are locked in. You can't change them by yourself.

If you think you've made a mistake, you can change them

and unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will, however, come at a cost.

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

I'd like to hear from Adam first of all, please.

You've definitely got one wrong there.

The others, I'm not too sure about.

How confident would you say you are?

I think I can only really say definitely 100% on two of them.

Well, I don't think that's confident enough for me to come down and help, I'm afraid.

-No, I would agree. That's OK.

-You're ruling yourself out, Adam.

-Anita, what do you think?

-I believe you've got one wrong.

I'm willing to come down for £4,000.

How positive are you about the rest of them?

100% positive.

OK, I don't believe you so I'll move on.

-Interesting.

-Richard, what are your thoughts?

I think you've got one wrong there, but I'm not certain on some of the others

-so I think I'm going to rule myself out.

-OK.

Richard's ruled himself out, Adam's ruled himself out.

Anita actually offered to come down, but you dismissed the offer.

I'm not convinced that she does know, for definite, the answers to all of them.

-She might, perhaps, know one or two.

-That's interesting.

-You just want to go alone?

-Yeah.

-Yeah? Happy to go alone?

-Yeah, definitely.

Negotiations are complete. James, you've decided to go alone,

despite the fact there being one offer from a Usual Suspect.

£6,000 at stake. Six answers away.

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

I know that you weren't, but I am really interested to find out what...

Anita offered to come down and she thought there was one wrong

so which one was it that you picked out, Anita?

C. She won Miss Universe title.

-C is the one that you thought was wrong?

-Yes.

OK. Adam, which one did you think was wrong?

I think A's wrong. I think he did retire undefeated.

-Interesting. Richard?

-Not clear about B.

OK, well, look, we'll start from the top and make our way through

cos we can deal with all of those as we go along.

Shergar retired from racing undefeated. You said that was false.

Adam thinks you might have made a mistake here.

Is that true or false?

It is false.

Shergar ran eight races and he won six

so you were absolutely right about that one.

So, you definitely didn't need Adam's help.

Anita, let's deal with your one, shall we? C.

Chris de Burgh's daughter won the Miss World title.

Now, you said this was true,

but Anita thought that you ought to have changed that one.

Is it true or false?

Yeah, it is true, in actual fact. You were right.

That's two Usual Suspects dealt with. That's quite good!

-Which one did you pick out, Richard?

-B.

Let's go back up to that, then, shall we?

The Spanish Inquisition was abolished in the 1800s.

-You think that might be true, do you, Richard?

-Yeah.

-You said it was false because...?

-I'm sure it was the 1600s,

the whole thing about the Spanish Inquisition, if not earlier.

-You think that was a little too late?

-Yeah, much too late.

All right, we need this to turn red.

The Spanish Inquisition was abolished in the 1800s.

Is that true or false?

Actually, that one's true.

As a result, you have not managed to achieve Perfection.

I wonder whether you can achieve Perfection.

Let's have a look at the other ones.

Scott Adams created the Dilbert comic strip. You said this was true.

If this turns green, I think Richard will start to wonder whether he should have come down.

Scott Adams created the Dilbert comic strip. Is that true or false?

Yeah, it is true.

Ho-ho, Richard!

-Did you miss out on an opportunity here?

-Yeah, could be.

James Bond's mother was Monique Delacroix.

You thought this was false.

Is it true or is it false?

Yeah, actually, that one's true.

Swiss born and married Andrew Bond, James Bond's father.

Monique Delacroix in the stories.

And the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab Hotel is in Dubai.

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

Yeah, it is true. So, in the end, it was a four out of six board.

Usual Suspects, great news for you -

the prize fund rolls over to the next game

where one of you could be playing for a total of £7,000.

James, on a board where all the subject categories were chosen for you but one,

to get four out of six is a pretty good deal.

Nonetheless, it wasn't Perfection and means you go home with nothing.

-Did you enjoy the process?

-It was fantastic, yeah.

I've enjoyed everyone's company. The people that work here have been lovely.

That's really nice of you to say. They deserve some praise.

Thank you very much. Let's hear it for James, everybody.

APPLAUSE

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

Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hi. My name's Aref. I'm from Cwmbran and I'm a claims handler.

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

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

Adam, it's you.

Please come down and join me.

-Adam, welcome to the game. How old are you, Adam?

-18.

You have an unusual interest for a lad of your age - bridge.

Yeah, I see it as, like, the card equivalent -

the card game equivalent - of chess.

So, it's those kind of skills

and it's just something I really enjoy.

OK. And also, despite the fact you're a big fella...

-What are you, about 6'4"?

-Yeah, 6'6", actually.

6'6". There you go.

Despite the fact you're a big fella, you're also a bit of a handy dancer, by all accounts.

Yeah, well, at the end of our school year,

I kind of got press-ganged into performing Mambo No. 5.

-Oh, did you?

-In front of our whole school year.

But I got a standing ovation for it so it must have been decent.

-Oh, very good for you.

-It was great fun.

Maybe you'll get a standing ovation at the end of the show.

-But not necessarily from the Usual Suspects.

-Yeah, absolutely.

They were your team-mates briefly, but now they're your enemies.

Here's the good news - no-one's won the last six games

so the prize fund currently stands at £7,000.

So, what will you be spending that on when you leave with it in the near future?

Hopefully, some of the money will go towards helping me fund my way through university

and I'd quite like to give part of it to my mum

cos she raised me on my own so...

On HER own, even.

I'd quite like to give some of the money to her.

That's a really nice thing. Look, best of luck. Hope you do well.

-Yeah, thank you very much.

-Three rounds and a final to come.

Usual Suspects, I'm going to switch you off now so you can't see or hear anything,

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

-Are you ready?

-Yeah, absolutely.

-Then let's play Perfection.

Round one. Your 45 seconds start now.

Yeah, I'm a big...

I like Fulham, so yeah,

-that's definitely true, yeah.

-True.

Not sure. I've heard a couple of her songs

but I've never heard her, you know,

associated with American Idol so I'll say false.

False.

She's mainly a comedian.

I don't know whether she has written a book but I'll go false again.

False. And finally...

-Not too sure.

-Need an answer.

I'll say false.

False. And just in time.

That sounded quite confident.

A, yeah, absolutely.

B and C, I'm both pretty sure.

D, if I had have had some more time to think about it,

I'm sure I'd have got there but it was a bit of a guess.

All right. Before we reveal how well you have done,

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

So, these were the four statements and next to them are Adam's answers.

Richard, has he achieved Perfection?

I rather think that Crepe Suzette

does have an orange-flavoured sauce.

Aref, what do you think?

Yeah, likewise from a passing interest in cookery shows,

-I'd say that is true.

-OK, Adam, 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.

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

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

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

You need to change one of them. Which one?

-D?

-Go for D?

-D, yeah, D.

-Yeah.

We're all agreed, Nick.

We'll go, change D

from false to true, please.

D changes from false to true,

leaving A, B and C as answered by Adam.

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

Craven Cottage is the home ground of Fulham FC. True or false?

Yes, that's absolutely true.

Carly Rae Jepsen is a winner of American Idol. True or false?

Yeah, that's false. She came third in Canadian Idol, in actual fact.

-Oh, really?

-Yeah. Certainly not the American one.

It doesn't matter how you get to the right answer but that is the right answer.

The Moon's A Balloon is a book by Miranda Hart. True or false?

That's false. Autobiographical book written by David Niven, in actual fact.

Crepe Suzette usually has an orange-flavoured sauce.

True or false?

That's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved Perfection.

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

Appearing before you is your final board.

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

Here are your final round category options.

Starting with Rock Music going through Statues onto Dams

and finally Tahiti, with many more in between.

Now, because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you,

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

So, Usual Suspects, which two would you like Adam to play in the final?

-Statues?

-Statues, yeah.

-Yeah? Statues, Nick, please.

Statues goes in. And?

-Possibly Poets as well.

-Poets, yeah.

-And Poets, please, Nick.

And Poets makes it into the final. Well done, Usual Suspects. You've won the first round.

Time to switch you off. We'll see you in round two.

Right, now that they have gone, we can have a chat. Statues?

I think that might be OK.

I've been to Rome and Barcelona quite a lot

and using the logic that there are quite a lot of statues there, I might know them.

-That makes sense, doesn't it? Poets?

-No. Just no.

-Just no.

-I don't know poets at all.

-All right, let's have a look at that list.

Which two will you be choosing when you get the opportunity?

I think Rock Music and maybe Towers as well, I think.

-And two you really want to avoid?

-EastEnders, definitely, and Tahiti.

And Tahiti. All right. Adam, it's only the first round.

You still have two more rounds to find Perfection

and choose your own categories for the final.

Let's play round two.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

I think that's a Miss Marple one

-so I'm going to say false.

-False.

I've never seen it. It sounds like it could be so I'm going to say true.

True.

Um, oh!

I'm not sure.

-False.

-False. And finally.

Um...

Again, I'm not sure

so I'm going to say

-false.

-False.

And with that, you have answered all four statements

much more comfortably than the first round. How was that?

It's D that I'm really not sure about. I actually have no idea.

I don't know much about Cherie Blair at all, really, so...

All right, before we reveal exactly how well you have done,

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, these were the four statements

and next to them are Adam's answers.

Anita, is this Perfection you see before you?

I believe he's got it all right, yes, so I think it is Perfection.

Richard, are the Usual Suspects flying the white flag at this stage or can you see something wrong?

I'm not so sure. I don't think...

I think A might be wrong.

Interesting. OK, Adam, the moment of truth. Let's find out how many are correct.

-Three out of four. Consistent.

-Yeah.

Good grouping, as they say in darts, but unfortunately, not quite enough for Perfection

and as a result, the Usual Suspects are in the game.

You need to change one answer but which one?

C and D are right for certain.

-Yes, I'm pretty sure about B.

-You're pretty sure about B.

-Yeah.

-So A, then, yeah?

-I'd agree.

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

A changes from false to true leaving B, C and D as answered by Adam.

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

Hercule Poirot appears in The Mirror Crack'd.

Is that true or false?

It's false in actual fact.

-Usual Suspects, you had the chance to steal the round from Adam.

-Richard.

LAUGHTER

There's a bit of banter going on backwards and forwards now. He's picking on you, Richard.

Yeah, can you still achieve Perfection at home?

Let's go through the rest of the statements and the answers.

It was Miss Marple exactly as you said, actually, Adam. It was Miss Marple.

Nathan Detroit is a character in Guys And Dolls. True or false?

That's true. Aref was absolutely right about that one.

Abraham Lincoln is carved at Mount Rushmore. True or false?

Yeah, true. That's the one you were looking for. Lincoln!

Cherie Blair was an MP for five years. True or false?

Yeah, false. She stood at the 1983 election but was not elected.

Let's have a look at your final board.

Two subject categories on there chosen by the Usual Suspects.

Because neither side won round two,

those two categories will now be carried over to the next round,

meaning four categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, you had a chance then, didn't take it.

I'm going to switch you off. We'll see you in round three.

This is a bit of an opportunity. You got away with one there.

Yeah, I can't believe I got that one wrong.

But listen, the thing is here,

whilst you're not sure which ones you want to select,

you know which ones you don't want selected.

-Yes.

-And the way to take control of that,

especially with four categories on offer, is to win the next round.

-Ready?

-That's the plan.

-Let's play round three.

Your 45 second starts now.

Yeah, I've done...I do chemistry and physics

so I'm going to say true.

True.

I don't think you'll be called great by the Russians

if you ban vodka so I'm going to say false.

False.

Yeah, I think I've heard that somewhere before

so I'm going to go true.

True. And finally...

Yeah, there's a mountain range called the Andes. Is it named after the god?

I'm going to say

-true.

-True.

Very good use of the time. How was that?

-I don't think it was as good as the first two, actually.

-No?

No, I don't think so. D has really got my goat, actually.

-I'm sorry about that.

-It's not your fault.

All right, before we reveal exactly how well you have done,

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

Here are the four statements and next to them are Adam's answers.

Aref, what do you think?

Question B may possibly need looking at but aside from that,

-I think he has done OK.

-Anita?

D, I would question that

because I don't think there was a Greek god of mountains

so I would change D from true to false.

OK. Adam, 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.

Three out of four again.

You can't be beaten on consistency, that has to be said

but it's always just short of Perfection and as a result,

the Usual Suspects are in the game again. Can you steal this round?

You need to change one answer but which one?

Do you think D or possibly B?

I don't think he would have been a Greek god.

-No, it doesn't feel right.

-Yeah.

-Shall we go with that one, then?

-Yeah, OK.

-We'll go with D.

-All right, D from true to false, then, please, Nick.

D changes from true to false,

leaving A, B and C as answered by Adam.

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

U is the chemical symbol for uranium. True or false?

True.

Peter the Great banned vodka in Russia. True or false?

Yes, that's absolutely false.

He was very fond of vodka in actual fact

and as you quite rightly point out, Adam, if Peter had banned vodka,

he wouldn't have been called the Great by the Russians.

Absolutely.

The Arabian Mau is a type of cat. You thought this rang a bell. Is it true or false?

It is true, which means you know where this is going, don't you, Usual Suspects?

Andes was the Greek god of mountains. True or false?

It's false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved Perfection.

And as Anita pointed out, there was not a specific mountain god.

Let's see the final board.

Already two subject categories chosen by the Usual Suspects

and because you won that round, you get to choose the next four as well

because it's two from this round and two that were carried over from round two so go ahead and choose.

-Towers?

-Towers, yeah. We'll go with Towers, Nick, please.

Towers makes it in.

-Discworld.

-Discworld, yeah.

-Discworld? Discworld, please, Nick.

-Discworld goes in.

-EastEnders.

-Dams?

-Dams, I think, Nick, please.

-Dams goes in and we need one more.

-EastEnders?

-OK. We'll go with EastEnders, then, Nick, please.

And EastEnders makes it into the final.

We now know our six final categories.

They are...

OK, guys. Time to switch you off for the final time.

-You didn't want EastEnders.

-No.

-Don't like it, never watched it.

I don't know what Discworld is.

On the upside, they chose Towers for you.

They did choose Towers. If the questions are right, then maybe.

Do you know what? That's exactly the point.

If the questions fall right then you can do it, can't you?

Adam, for £7,000, it's time to play the final.

This is the all-important final.

If you achieve Perfection, you could be leaving with a prize fund of £7,000.

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 a rollover of £8,000 on the next game.

So let's play the final round.

Adam, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly if you want to win the £7,000.

-Yeah.

-Think carefully.

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

-your first answer is locked in. You ready?

-Yes.

Let's reveal your first statement. Statues.

I think the Statue of Liberty was a present to the Americans...

..from...

..maybe, some reason is telling me the Allied troops

so I'm going to say that's true.

True.

I don't know who either of them are

-so I'm going to guess true.

-True.

It used to be a prison, didn't it, and that kind of thing?

-So I'm going to say false to that one.

-False.

Oh, they're novels, are they?

I don't...I don't know the novels.

I don't know if they're a series, or what.

-False to that one.

-False.

It sounds... They both sound like they could be right

so I'm going to go true on that one, please.

True. And finally, EastEnders.

I do vaguely remember Dirty Den, actually,

even though I have not watched it very often but...

Well hard.

-Yeah, go on, then, true, please, Nick.

-True.

Adam, those answers are now locked in.

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

-Which ones are you unsure of?

-I think that's the wrong question.

The question would be which ones am I sure of.

Which ones are you sure of?

I would say C I think would be false. I think A, I think it was built in France so those two.

-The other four are literally just 50-50 guesses, in all honesty.

-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 Adam's answers.

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

but if you think you made a mistake, you can unlock the board

with the help of the Usual Suspects. This will, however, come at a cost.

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

-Aref.

-Possibly, I think you've got two questions wrong, to be honest.

I mean, how confident are you?

I would say that I know... for definite three.

I'm pretty sure about the fourth.

OK. OK.

-I wouldn't be confident enough to come down so I'd rule myself out.

-OK.

-Aref has ruled himself out.

-I'll hear from Anita next, please.

OK, I'm confident you've got five right and there's one that you have got wrong

so I am willing to come down for half the money, so, £3,500. I'm sure you have got five right.

Is it possible to talk to Richard before I come back to that?

-Of course it is, absolutely.

-Richard?

I know you have got one wrong

but there are a couple which I'm just not sure about at all, I'm afraid,

-so I'll rule myself out.

-Interesting.

Do you want to take Anita's offer? Is she bluffing or telling the truth?

Do you want to negotiate over the price? It's entirely up to you.

I think we can do a deal there. I'd be quite happy for you to come down.

-So, are you happy to come down for £3,500, Anita?

-Yeah, I'm happy.

OK, for £3,500 of the £7,000 in the prize fund,

please come down and join us.

OK, Adam, you have asked Anita for help.

If you achieve Perfection, it will cost you £3,500 of your potential prize fund of £7,000.

Anita, you have now forfeited your chance to play in the next game.

This is your only shot at winning Perfection. Have you made the right decision?

I think we're about to find out so here are the final round statements.

All six answers are now unlocked.

Anita, you said you thought there was one wrong.

OK, I know for definite F is wrong because Dirty Den's dog,

I think it was Roly, but that was his daughter's dog

so Wellard was Robbie's dog so I think that's false.

I don't know anything about EastEnders

so I'd be quite happy to change F from true to false, please.

-Want to do that straightaway?

-Yeah, I'd quite like to.

OK, F changes from true to false.

By the way, I presume you don't definitely know any of the others, do you?

-No.

-Right.

The ones for me that I'm a bit worried about

-was Tennyson and Wordsworth brothers-in-law for me, that was a guess.

-OK.

And the first Discworld novel entitled Hogfather because I didn't know what Discworld was.

I don't know what they are.

I don't know whether you have any strong feelings about them

but those are the two I think that are worrying me most.

Yeah, B or D.

Well, we don't have to change either of them.

Actually, the more I stand here, the more I want to stick with B is true.

-OK, then, yeah.

-The more I want to stay with that.

It's just D, really.

It is one of the books but I can't remember if it was the first.

Well, if we're not definite then I think we should probably stick with how it is.

Like I said, I would be annoyed if I changed it and it turned out to be correct

whereas at least the other way round, I can think, "Fair enough, I didn't know the answer."

-So, if you're fine with that.

-Yeah, I'm happy. It's up to you.

-OK, we'd like to keep the rest as they are.

-OK. Let's lock them in.

Your answers are now locked in. £7,000 at stake.

£3,500 to Adam, £3,500 to Anita. Six answers away.

Let's find out if you have achieved Perfection.

Well, you only changed one, didn't you?

So perhaps we should start with that one

and see whether you got that right straightaway,

whether it was actually worth bringing Anita down or not

or whether she might have immediately taken you away from a winning card.

Dirty Den's dog was called Wellard.

Adam, you said this was true having admitted that you knew nothing about EastEnders.

Anita came down to tell you that you needed to change that one to false

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

Is it true or false?

-It is false.

-Yay.

That's good to know. That's nice to know.

-Wellard was Robbie Jackson's dog.

-Yeah.

-Well said.

Den's dog was Roly, as you also said.

So let's move up the board, then.

The Kariba Dam is on the Zambezi River.

You thought this sounded correct so you went for true.

Is it true or false?

Yeah.

Two down at least. Two down.

The first Discworld novel was entitled Hogfather. You said this was false.

If you get this right, you are halfway to the money.

Is it true or false?

Will it be true?

It's false.

I genuinely thought...

The first novel was called The Colour Of Magic, in actual fact.

So, look, here you go. Halfway to the money.

£7,000, £3,500 each.

Just picking up, Anita, you actually, when you came down,

-you said, "I know you've got five right."

-Yeah.

-Bit of bluffing going on there?

-Yeah, it was.

-That's interesting.

And before we get too carried away with that, Adam,

when you said that you knew four, you were confident of...?

No, lying. Confident on maybe two.

Yeah, so there was a bit of bluffing going in both directions there.

The Tower of London once housed a menagerie.

You said that you thought this was false

-because it had at some stage been a prison.

-Didn't it used to be a prison?

So why would it have a menagerie?

If it turns red, you are just two away from the £7,000.

It's true, I'm afraid. It's true.

And as a result, it means you can't achieve Perfection

and you won't be taking home the cash. Maybe you can still achieve Perfection at home.

Let's go through the rest of the statements and the answers.

Tennyson and Wordsworth were brothers-in-law. You said true. Is it true or false?

False. In actual fact, Tennyson and Wordsworth were unrelated.

How many have we got so far? Three out of five.

It would be nice to be four out of six, wouldn't it?

The Statue of Liberty was first built in France. You said true. Is it true or false?

It is true, absolutely. Very well done.

So four out of six, not bad, really,

given that all these categories were chosen against you and by the Usual Suspects.

-A lot of them were against us.

-Perhaps you think now, Anita,

you shouldn't have been quite so tough on choosing the categories.

If you want to come down and join in, probably a good idea

to roll in some that you actually know yourself.

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 £8,000.

Adam, Anita, you failed to achieve Perfection, which means you go home with nothing

other than our thanks for playing.

-I hope you enjoyed the process.

-Yeah, it's been really fun.

-Yeah? Enjoyed yourself, Anita?

-Yes, I've really enjoyed myself.

OK, let's hear it for Adam and Anita, ladies and gentlemen.

Well, that's all we have time for.

Please join us next time when our Usual Suspects have a chance to play again, this time for £8,000.

It's quite a chunk of money, isn't it?

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