Episode 52 Perfection

This show demands nothing less than Perfection. Behind this screen are four contestants

hoping their knowledge is flawless. 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,

Vladimir Putin has a black belt in judo,

would you say that's true or false?

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

Answering true or false might seem easy

but if the contestant gets a single answer wrong

their opponents, the Usual Suspects, will be allowed into the game

to capitalise on their mistakes.

So you know how the game works.

Let's meet the Usual Suspects.

I'm Craig, I'm from Glasgow.

I work in banking and this is my first game.

I'm Susan, I'm from Leeds.

I'm a retired farmer's wife and this is my first game.

I'm Aref, I'm from Cwmbran.

I'm a claims handler and this is my second game.

I'm Richard, I'm from Brixham.

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

-Susan, it's you, please come down and join me.

-APPLAUSE

-Susan, welcome to the game.

-Thank you very much.

-Straight in, straight down.

-I know.

-Never got a chance to be a Usual Suspect.

-No.

Let's find out a bit more about you.

-You were a farmer's wife for a long time.

-Yes.

-Which means that you were a farmer, as well?

-Yes, more or less, yes.

-You don't just do the wife side.

-No.

-You have to do everything.

-You do everything.

-Milk the cows?

-Yes.

-How many cows?

-100.

-How often?

-Twice a day, every day.

365 days a year.

-For how long?

-31 years.

-Wow!

-A lot of cows.

But your interests have changed now,

-you've retired from that way of life.

-Yeah.

You've taken up an interest in a completely different area,

-rugby league.

-Well, that ran alongside the farming, really.

What was it about those huge, hulking great blokes

in small shorts that attracted you to the game?

Part of my family used to play, my husband had played as a young man.

-Right.

-And it's a very family-orientated game

-and it's very female-friendly.

-Is it?

-Very much so, yes.

-Would you say you're a competitive person?

-Yeah.

-Good, we're about to find out how competitive.

-I hope so.

It's now you versus the Usual Suspects - briefly they were your team-mates,

they are now your enemies. Their job is to stop you from 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 great news for you, nobody's won the last seven games.

-So the prize fund currently stands at £8,000!

-Very nice.

APPLAUSE

What will you be spending £8,000 on, if you win?

Well, I don't have a passport because I never had time to go abroad, did I?

-I never had time to go on holidays.

-I suppose not.

I would like to get a passport and I really would like to go

and see the Northern Lights.

-That's quite something, isn't it?

-Yes.

OK, best of luck with that,

that amount of money will get you there in some style.

-I should think so.

-Here's how the game works.

You'll play three rounds and a final. Every round you achieve Perfection makes

the Final easier for you. If your performance is anything less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects have a chance to step in and steal the round, making the Final harder for you.

More of that to follow later.

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

Cheerio! When they're like this you can talk through your answers

-without giving away any vital knowledge, OK?

-Yeah.

Each round consists of four true or false statements.

You'll be answering against the clock.

You only have 45 seconds and once you've given an answer,

-your first answer, it will be locked in.

-Yeah, OK.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-OK, then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1, your 45 seconds starts now.

Oh, gosh, I wouldn't know.

-I would probably say true.

-True.

Hmm...

-I don't think so. False.

-False.

I would probably think that would be an elephant. I would say false.

False. And finally...

Yes, I think so. I don't think we boycotted Moscow, did we? True.

True. And with time to spare you have answered all four statements.

-Happy with that?

-Yeah.

-I'm not sure that you've got Perfection, though.

-No.

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

-back the Usual Suspects and don't forget they will now be able to hear you.

-Yeah.

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

What do you think, Richard?

I think she's done well with that but I do think that B is wrong

because I'm pretty sure wherry IS a type of boat.

Aref, what do you make of those answers?

I think she's done fairly well.

D possibly may need looking at.

I don't know if they took part in a boycott in the past.

Craig, has she achieved Perfection?

She's not achieved Perfection, no, Nick. She's definitely got A wrong

and I'm questioning D, as well.

I think there was an Olympics

in Germany during wartime,

and I think Britain came out of it.

I'm not sure, but I definitely know A is guaranteed wrong.

-Interesting, they don't think you have done too well.

-No.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly to have won the round.

Let's see how many are correct.

-Oh!

-Just the one.

Certainly not Perfection and you have let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

Can you steal the round? You need to change three answers but which three?

-You're confident with A.

-Definitely.

-Ra's al Ghul is Batman's arch enemy.

-You said B, obviously.

You're unsure on D.

I'm pretty sure C is correct.

-Yeah.

-Yeah, I'd say.

-So you're happy with that?

-A, B and D.

-We will change A from true to false.

-A from true to false.

-B from false to true.

-B from false to true.

And D from true to false.

And D from true to false,

leaving C as answered by Susan.

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

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

HE READS QUESTION A

False. He is, as Craig said, the enemy of Batman.

HE READS QUESTION B

That's true. Quite right, Richard, you were correct on that one.

HE READS QUESTION C

It's true, Usual Suspects,

that's one of the ones you were looking for.

You had the chance to steal the round but you failed to achieve Perfection.

I wonder if you at home can achieve Perfection.

HE READS QUESTION D

That one's true.

It was the tiger as the national symbol of India was the one you needed to change around.

So, Usual Suspects, had you achieved Perfection

you would now have the opportunity to make Susan's chances of winning the prize fund much harder.

Here's how. Susan, 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.

Had you achieved Perfection

you would now have the opportunity

of adding two categories of your choice,

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

meaning four categories will be on offer then.

Usual Suspects, you had a chance to nick that but you spurned it.

I wonder if you'll get a chance in Round 2.

We'll see you then, bye-bye.

Now we can have a little chat.

Look at that list and tell me

which two will you be choosing

for yourself when you get the chance?

-Cricket.

-And?

The Boat Race.

And two that you are quite keen to avoid?

I would think Wogan and Bees.

-All right, did you not keep bees on the farm?

-No, no.

-You never fancied it?

-No.

Remember, in order to win the prize fund you need to answer all six statements correctly.

Winning this round could prove crucial with four categories on offer.

-A good one to win, this.

-Yeah.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

Let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-False.

-False.

Oh, now then.

Ah...

I know they have a tail.

Erm...

-True.

-True.

I don't think so. I'm sure... No.

I don't think it is. I seem to think it's somewhere...

in the Arctic, or something.

-False.

-And, finally, watch the time.

-Yes. True.

-True.

And with time to spare,

you have answered all four.

Happy with that?

The scorpion I'm not sure because it's something to do with...

Some have six and some have eight, I'm never sure which.

OK. Before we reveal exactly how well you've done,

time to bring back those Usual Suspects.

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

-Aref, what do you think?

-I'm not too sure, to be honest.

B may need looking at but aside from that I'm not sure.

Craig, can you see any mistakes?

I can't see any mistakes.

I know D, Rocky, I think

that's correct. I'm not sure about C.

-Unsure.

-Unsure. Richard, has she achieved Perfection?

No, I don't think so, Nick.

I think Hayling Island IS in Hampshire,

and I would query B as well

because I can't remember whether they have six or eight.

All right, Susan, the moment of truth.

Let's find out how many are correct.

-Three out of four's not bad.

-No.

-But not Perfection.

-No.

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

You only need to change one this time but which one?

I think it's C.

-Hayling Island is near Portsmouth.

-That's fine, we'll go with that.

We will change C, Nick, from false to true, please.

C changes from false to true

leaving A, B and D as answered.

All right, Usual Suspects,

let's find out what the correct answers are.

HE READS QUESTION A

It is, of course, false.

He was a famous TV presenter.

HE READS QUESTION B

Yes, it's true.

HE READS QUESTION C

It's true and you know where this is going, Usual Suspects.

HE READS QUESTION D

It's true - the Usual Suspects

have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Well, Susan, the Usual Suspects have slipped in there

and nicked the round off you.

Because you've done that, you now how the opportunity to make

Susan's chance of winning the prize fund of £8,000 much harder.

Let's see the final board.

It is currently a barren wasteland with no subject categories

because, of course, no-one won Round 1.

Because you won this round, Usual Suspects, you get the right to choose four categories.

Which four would you like Susan

-to play in the Final?

-Any preferences?

Cricket, maybe?

I don't know, she's Yorkshire.

-This is true. CIA?

-CIA, I was thinking.

CIA, please, Nick.

CIA goes in.

-What about The Boat Race?

-Possibly.

We'll have The Boat Race, as well.

The Boat Race goes in.

-Russia?

-Russia?

-Yeah.

-Russia.

-Russia is the third category in the Final, and...?

-Shapes?

-Yeah, Shapes.

-Shapes, please Nick.

-Shapes goes into the Final, too.

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

time to switch you off, we'll see you in Round 3.

-That was interesting, wasn't it? They almost chose you cricket.

-Yeah.

But then swerved away from it at the last second

and then chose The Boat Race, which is one you would have chosen yourself.

-Not too bad, really.

-CIA and Russia?

Well, I don't know really, it just depends how the questions fall.

This is true. The trouble is if you allow them to make the choices,

they will choose the worst possible things for you.

You have one more chance to find Perfection and choose your own categories.

Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-No, it was Kirk Douglas that did that. False.

-False.

I wouldn't know.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True?

-Yeah.

And finally...

Oh, heavens above!

Oh...

-No, I would say that was false.

-False.

With time to spare you've answered all four.

That sounded more confident.

Well, I don't know about The Unforgettable Fire, I'm not into U2.

The other three sounded strong.

It's just a matter of how that one falls, really.

A and C are not too bad.

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 Susan's answers.

Craig, has she achieved Perfection?

No, I don't think so, Nick.

I believe B is wrong.

I've never heard of The Unforgettable Fire by U2.

-OK, Aref?

-I would agree B is wrong.

I've not heard of that album by U2.

Richard, are you a big U2 fan?

I've got a couple of albums of theirs

but I've not heard of that one.

I think I'm inclined to agree that that is false.

D is one of those improbables

that it could be one of his

but I don't think so, actually, I think that would be all right.

Certainly, B I think's wrong.

You need to have answered the statements perfectly to win the round.

Let's see how many are correct.

-Oh!

-Congratulations, Susan,

you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

-Well done, that's good, isn't it?

-It surprised me.

-Surprised you!

Don't say that! Make out that you knew all along.

OK, let's go from the top down, shall we?

HE READS QUESTION A

Of course it is false because it was his father,

Kirk Douglas, just as you said.

HE READS QUESTION B

That is actually true.

1984 it was released.

HE READS QUESTION C

You said you knew this to be true and it is, of course, true.

HE READS QUESTION D

That is, of course, false.

Lots of theories but Noel Coward isn't one of them.

No, I wouldn't have thought so.

As a result of that perfect performance,

you've made winning the prize fund a bit easier now. Let's look at the final board.

Four subject categories on there chosen by the Usual Suspects

and because you won that round you get to choose the last two.

I think I'll take Cricket.

Cricket goes into the Final.

And Folk.

And Folk goes into the Final.

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

Usual Suspects, you got four of the six.

I wonder if it's going to be enough to stop her.

In the meantime, time to switch you off. We'll see you later.

So... Susan, for £8,000, it's time to play the Final.

APPLAUSE

Susan, this is the all-important Final.

If you can achieve Perfection you could be leaving with a prize fund of £8,000.

If you fail, you'll leave with nothing - great news for the Usual Suspects

as one of them could be here playing for a rollover of £9,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

Susan, here are your final six categories.

They are...

You must get six statements correct

if you want to win the £8,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit

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

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Then let's reveal your first statement.

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

Yes, I think that is definitely true.

-True.

-True.

That seems a long time since, doesn't it?

Ah...

I don't think it's been going so many years.

That makes it 400 and some years old.

I think I'd guess that was false.

-False.

-Mmm.

Ooh, now then.

Is it the same since they split up,

since they split all

the different parts of Russia up?

It used to have a hammer and sickle.

I think I'll go for true. Yeah.

True.

Yeah, that's definitely true.

I used to like maths at school.

I don't know about that.

Probably...

I wonder if it's to do with his blind eye

that it's got a zero rather than all ones.

I think I'll say that's true.

True.

Oh, my goodness me!

SHE CHUCKLES

I think I'll say true.

-True?

-Yeah.

All those answers are locked in.

If there is one single mistake

you leave with nothing,

-so which ones are you worried about?

-The two I picked for myself.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-E and F.

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 Susan's answers.

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

but you can unlock them 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 Susan's done,

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

-Susan, who would you like to hear from first?

-Craig, please.

Hi, Susan, I think you've got one wrong.

There's a couple I'm not sure of

but definitely one I think is wrong.

Does that mean you want to help?

Because I'm not too sure of a couple of the answers,

I wouldn't come down to help, unfortunately.

-Craig's ruled himself out.

-Yeah.

-Who would you like to speak to now?

-Aref.

-How confident are you, Susan?

-How many do you think you've got right?

-I think I've got six right.

OK, well, I think you've definitely got one wrong, to be honest.

I mean, I'd be willing to help but it would cost £6,000.

-Oh...

-Aref wants £6,000 of your £8,000 prize fund to come down and help.

-No.

Well, It could cost you all £8,000 if you think about it.

Yes, I know.

-It's up to you to negotiate...

-I'll have a word with Richard first.

You've got certainly one wrong and I think two,

but there's a couple I'm not certain of

and I think it's now at a point

where it's a bit risky.

I don't want to go in there and lose us both money.

So I'm going to rule myself out, I'm afraid.

So Richard's ruled himself out, Craig's ruled himself out and Aref is prepared to come down

but he wants £6,000 of your £8,000 to help you out.

I think he could possibly be bluffing and I'll risk it on my own.

OK, negotiations have come to an end

and despite an offer of help from one of the Usual Suspects, you've decided to go it alone.

£8,000 at stake, six answers away.

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

-I can't help but find out from the chaps what they thought now that it doesn't matter.

-Oh, dear.

Aref, you said you thought there was one, or were you bluffing?

Yeah, it actually pains me

-but I believe she has got Perfection.

-Oh!

-So you were trying to get £6,000 of the eight.

-That's good news.

-Craig, you thought there might be one?

-I think F's wrong.

Richard, you thought there were two.

Yeah, I think F is wrong,

and C - that was the old USSR flag.

Let's work our way through it, let's start at the top there with A,

the CIA is short for Central Intelligence Agency.

-You said that was true.

-Yeah.

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

Is it true or false?

Yes, it's true. Very well done.

B, the University Boat Race first took place in 1529. You said false.

True or false?

Oh, good.

It first took place in 1829 which is what you said, wasn't it?

-It was too far away.

-Just too far away.

The flag of Russia, this is one that the guys think you might get wrong.

Let's hop over that one for the moment.

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length.

You said you liked maths at school, you remember this.

You said it was true, so we're expecting this to turn green

and get you halfway to the cash all on your own.

Is it true or false?

Yes, it's true. Very well done.

In cricket, a score of 111 is often called Nelson.

You said that was true.

If this turns green you're just two away from the money

and it's the two that the Usual Suspects thought might be wrong.

Maybe they're wrong.

Anyway, in cricket a score of 111 is often called Nelson. True or false?

-Oh!

-It's true.

-I didn't know.

Apparently it's reportedly due to the fact that Nelson

had one eye, one arm, one leg, you see.

Although, of course, he had two legs, which kind of ruins the

whole story, but there you go. That's what it's purported to be.

All of the members of Mumford & Sons are related.

Now, both Craig and Richard

-thought this might be wrong but they're not sure.

-No.

If this turns green it means you're right

and you're just one away from the £8,000.

If it turns red, they were right

and maybe they should have come down for some money.

All the members of Mumford & Sons are related.

You said true, you need this to turn green. Is it true, or false?

Fingers crossed.

Oh, come on.

Oh!

-It's false, I'm afraid.

-Oh, dear.

-They simply aren't all related.

-Oh, dear.

That means you haven't achieved Perfection

and you don't go home with any of the cash

and perhaps you can still achieve Perfection at home. Let's find out.

The flag of Russia features a hammer and sickle.

-You said true.

-Yeah.

So it should turn green.

Richard thought it might be false

and he would have argued for you to change that,

as well as the Mumford & Sons one.

So let's find out whether it's true or false.

The flag of Russia features a hammer and sickle.

True or false?

-It's false.

-It's the old one.

Since 1991, the flag of Russia has red, white and blue on it.

-Nodding away, Richard. Do you know what that means, you had a chance there.

-I did.

If you had gone with that, would you have given away half

to somebody to come and help, do you think?

I hadn't intended to do but I don't know.

It's too late to say now.

It is rather difficult to look back on it, isn't it?

Well, in a way, Usual Suspects, that's good news for you -

the prize fund rolls over to the next game where one of you could be playing for a total now of £9,000!

APPLAUSE

You failed to achieve Perfection and you go home with nothing.

-You've been a great contender.

-It's been smashing.

-Did you enjoy it?

-I have, really nice.

-All right, let's hear it for Susan, everybody.

-Thank you.

APPLAUSE

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

Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hi, I'm Bernie, I'm from Warrington and I'm a quantity surveyor.

Best of luck to you all and welcome, Bernie, as we now find out

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

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

-Craig, welcome to the game.

-Thank you.

Let's talk a bit more about you.

You're keen on golf, though you admit you're not very good at it.

Correct. I'm getting better. I try and get out as much as I can.

I've playing for about ten years, but I'm still pretty poor.

Me too, to be honest. All right.

-You consider yourself very lucky.

-A little bit, aye.

Won some things in the past.

I won a trip to Australia on a radio competition.

-Very nice.

-I won a trip to Vegas. Just luck of the draw.

-Based on general knowledge?

-Yeah.

-So your general knowledge is good.

-It's OK, yeah.

-You don't want to oversell yourself early, do you?

You won't make any friends with the Usual Suspects -

cos you've already won something, they don't want you to win.

It is now you versus the Usual Suspects.

You were briefly there and they were your team-mates.

-Now, they're your enemies.

-Yeah.

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

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

Presumably, as a banker,

you have a sensible investment you'll put that into,

-let it grow over a number of years and not touch it?

-Eh...no.

I'm getting married next year, so my girlfriend - or fiancee -

is trying to swindle that into the wedding fund.

-And will it?

-No.

-Not all of it?

-No.

-Some of it?

A little bit.

All right, three rounds and a final to come.

Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off,

you won't see or hear anything.

As soon as Craig makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game.

Away they go. Like this, you can talk through your answers

-without giving anything away, OK?

-OK.

-You ready?

-Yes.

-Then let's get started and play Perfection.

Round 1, your 45 seconds start now.

I think that's actually true.

I remember seeing pictures of her doing that,

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

-True.

-I'm on that many times, yeah. That's very true.

-True.

I'm unsure of that. I've never heard of that.

-I'm going to say false for that.

-False. And finally...

I've never watched that programme.

-I'll say...true, for that.

-True.

With time to spare,

-you've answered all four. How was that?

-Not too bad.

-In with a chance?

I'm not too sure about D or C.

A and B, I think I'm good with.

Before we reveal how well you've done,

we bring back the Usual Suspects - they're now able to hear you.

Here are the four statements,

next to them are Craig's answers.

Richard, has he achieved Perfection?

I don't think so, Nick.

I seem to remember that sirocco IS a Mediterranean wind

blowing off the coast of Africa.

Aref?

Yeah, I'd be questioning A as well.

Unless I've only ever seen a remake,

I'm not sure if Jane Fonda starred as Barbarella.

-I'm not too sure.

-Bernie?

I think C's wrong, also -

I'm sure when I've been on holiday,

the locals have been on about

some wind blowing through, but I might be wrong.

Depends who you're on holiday with!

Craig, the moment of truth. You need to have answered all four perfectly.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four's not bad,

but it's not Perfection. You know what that means -

the Usual Suspects have a chance of stealing the round.

Usual Suspects, you need to change one answer,

but which one?

-I think C, yeah.

-I think C.

I'll go with it.

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

C changes from false to true,

leaving A, B and D as before.

All right, Usual Suspects,

let's find out what the answers are.

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

HE READS QUESTION A

True or false?

Yes, absolutely true.

HE READS QUESTION B

True or false?

True, and Craig, you knew that

because you use the site.

HE READS QUESTION C

True or false?

That's true,

you needed to change that.

You know where this is going, Usual Suspects.

HE READS QUESTION D

True or false?

Yes, it's true. Congratulations, Usual Suspects -

you have achieved Perfection.

Craig, they managed to succeed where you failed and stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you can now make Craig's chances

of winning the prize fund harder in the Final and here's how.

Craig, this is your final board.

These spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are your final round category options,

starting with Small Animals,

running through Government, Golf,

and on to The Olympics, with more in between.

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round,

they choose the two categories,

hoping to make the Final harder for you.

Usual Suspects. Which two

would you like Craig to play?

-It's a tough one.

-Small Animals, yeah.

-Small Animals.

-Small Animals, please, Nick.

Small Animals goes into the final. And...?

-Hats?

-Hats, yeah.

-Hats, please.

-And Hats.

Well done - you've won the first round.

Time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round 2.

Now they've gone and they can't hear us -

-Small Animals and Hats?

-Yeah, love small animals and hats(!)

LAUGHTER

Don't know anything about them, but I like them.

Let's look at the list.

Which two are you keen to avoid?

Eh, I would probably say Sharapova

and...Kanye West, probably.

And two you'd like to choose for yourself?

I'd take Golf and Tom Hardy.

All right - Craig, you still have two more opportunities

to achieve Perfection so that you can choose your own categories

in the Final - ready to carry on?

-Yes.

-Let's play Round 2.

Your 45 seconds start now.

-Eh, yeah, that was a very good song. I'd say that was true.

-True.

I know there's loads of islands off the coast of Japan.

-Again, I'll go true with that.

-True.

-No, that's false. That was somebody else.

-False.

And finally...

No, they were from the UK, were they not?

False. With that,

you've answered all four.

-Happy with that?

-Eh, the only one I'm not too sure of is Japan.

The rest of them, I think I'm doing all right.

Before we reveal how well you've done,

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

These were the four statements,

next to them are Craig's answers.

Aref, how's he done?

I think he's done OK, to be honest.

There's a chance he may have Perfection.

Bernie, do you agree?

I'm unsure about B,

and I don't know why.

Other than that,

he's done really well.

Richard, what do you think? Has he achieved Perfection?

I think B's wrong, Nick.

I think that Indonesia

consists of over 1,000 islands.

-I don't think Japan does.

-All right.

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

Congratulations, Craig,

you have achieved Perfection.

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

HE READS QUESTION A

You said that was true - it is.

HE READS QUESTION B

You said that was true,

and of course, it is true.

In fact, sources quote

as many as 6,500 islands that make up Japan.

I don't know at what point a rock poking out of the water

counts as an island, but, yeah, huge number of islands, there.

HE READS QUESTION C

You said that was false

-and it is false.

-Jamie Foxx.

You know who it was?

-Jamie Foxx?

-Yeah, it was. Very well done.

HE READS QUESTION D

You said false.

It is, of course, false.

They were an ancient tribe

-from the north of England and Scotland.

-Yeah, thought that.

So, Craig, as a result,

you've made winning the prize fund of £9,000 a lot easier.

Let's look at your final board.

Currently on there, two subject categories

chosen by the Usual Suspects,

but you get to choose the next two - choose away.

OK, I'm going to go for Tom Hardy, first.

Tom Hardy goes into the Final.

Then I think I'll go for Florida.

And Florida goes in.

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

I'll switch you off, but see you in Round 3.

-That was a bit of a swerve.

-I know.

-Didn't fancy Golf?

No, I love Florida.

Golf...I'm terrible at sport.

I'm terrible at remembering sport, so...

-So you swerved onto Florida instead.

-Yeah.

-All right. Very well done.

You chose your own categories - should make the Final easier.

-Ready to play the next round?

-Yes.

-Let's play Round 3.

Your 45 seconds start now.

Never heard of a bannock. Eh...

-No, I'm going to say false, for that.

-False.

One of my favourite films - true.

True.

-Eh...false.

-False.

And finally...

I don't think he is from Dingley Dell.

Eh...no, I'll go false with that.

False. And again, with time to spare,

you've answered all four.

-Perfection again?

-Probably not. Eh...

Not too sure about Bruce Forsyth,

size 15 feet.

I think they're too big.

OK. Before we reveal how well you've done,

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

These were the four statements,

next to them are Craig's answers.

Bernie, has he got Perfection?

I think he has. I know B is definitely true.

I think he's done the same with the rest of them.

Aref, can you see any mistakes?

Yeah, to be honest,

there's nothing I can question.

Unsure on Bruce Forsyth - aside from that, not really.

-Richard?

-Yeah, the only one I'd query is A,

but I think the rest of them are OK.

Not sure about A at all.

OK, Craig, the moment of truth -

you need to have answered all four perfectly.

Let's see how many are correct.

-Get in!

-Congratulations, Craig -

you have achieved Perfection again.

Well done. Let's look at those in more detail.

HE READS QUESTION A

You said false and it is false.

It is, in fact, a type of bread

or flat cake from Scotland.

HE LAUGHS

-Never heard of it?

-Nope.

HE READS QUESTION B

You said true and it is true.

HE READS QUESTION C

That is, of course, false.

His feet are size 9 or 9.5.

-That sounds normal.

-Yeah.

HE READS QUESTION D

You said false and it is...false.

He lives in London.

Craig, as a result of that perfect performance,

you've made winning a bit easier - let's look at the final board.

It is a 50/50 board, two subjects chosen by the Usual Suspects

and two by you, but you won that round

so you get to choose the next two. Fire away.

I'll go with Lead Singers.

Lead Singers goes in. And...?

-Golf.

-And Golf goes in. OK.

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

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

-In with a chance?

-Yes. Fingers crossed, we'll do it.

Craig, for £9,000, it's time to play the Final.

Craig, this is the all-important Final.

If you can achieve Perfection, you'll leave with £9,000.

If you fail, you leave with nothing, which would be great news for them

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £10,000

on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

Here are your final six categories. They are...

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £9,000.

Think carefully - there's no time limit,

but once you've given your first answer,

it'll be locked in.

-Ready?

-Yes.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

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

Small Animals.

I have never heard of a Falabella.

You get miniature horses, like a Shetland pony.

-I'll say false for that.

-False.

Hats.

Yes, I'll say that's true.

I've seen the films, read some of the books.

-Yeah, true.

-True.

Tom Hardy.

Eh...I think Oliver Hardy's American.

Tom Hardy is definitely from the UK. I'm going to say false with that.

False.

Florida.

False. I've been through the Florida Keys.

False.

Lead Singers.

I've seen REM a couple of times.

I'm going to say that's true.

True.

And finally, Golf.

That is very much true as well, yeah.

Ernie Els is South African, yeah.

True.

OK - those are now locked in.

Any mistakes, you leave with nothing.

-Which ones are you worried about?

-Just A.

The rest, I'm quite happy with,

apart from A.

A is your worry.

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

Usual Suspects, you can now see

the six statements and Craig's answers.

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

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

This will, however, come at a cost.

-Craig, who would you like to hear from first?

-Richard, first, please.

I think you've done really well, Craig, on that one.

There's one I'm uncertain about.

Have to give it some thought.

- Come back to me, will you? - Thanks, Richard.

-Aref?

-Again, I think you've done really well.

I'm confident on four. How confident are you?

-I'm not sure of...one.

-OK.

Do you know how much money you'd be willing to negotiate or...?

Depends how sure you are. Do you think you know, then, Aref?

I'm confident on four.

But it depends on how much money is on the table.

Eh, no, I'll just leave you. Thanks, Aref.

Eh, Bernie?

I'd say I'm 100% confident on five.

I'd be willing to come and help you for £4,500.

Interesting - Bernie wants £4,500 of the £9,000 to help you.

We haven't established what's going on with Richard yet.

To be honest, Nick, I think I'm going to go it alone.

I'm quite confident with most of the answers.

-Let's do it.

-OK. Well, Craig, you decided to go it alone.

£9,000 at stake, six answers away.

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

Right. Let's start at the top, there.

HE READS QUESTION A

-That's the one you said you were most worried about.

-Yeah.

So let's skip over it for now and move on to B.

"The Sorting Hat features in the Harry Potter series."

You said this was true - seen the films, read the books.

-Fairly confident on this one?

-Yes.

-It'll turn green?

-Yeah, yep.

You think it's going to turn green. True or false?

True - very well done.

Good start.

HE READS QUESTION C

You said you didn't think so, because Tom Hardy is British

and Oliver Hardy's American

so you said false - you need this to turn red.

Is it true or false?

Yup, it's false.

Not related, as far as we're aware.

"The Florida Keys is a mountain range."

You said you've been there. What do you think they are?

It's a chain of islands at the bottom of the south of Florida...state.

-So you know it'll turn red.

-Yes.

You said false. Is it true or false?

It is false, and here you are.

You find yourself halfway to the money, £9,000,

all on your own.

Question is, did you need someone's help

or have you got them all correct?

It's just this A answer, but the rest of them, I'm fine with.

The last two...spot on.

-You know the next two are OK?

-Yeah.

-So you know the lead singer is Michael Stipe?

-Yeah.

-So this is going to turn green?

-It is.

-OK.

HE READS QUESTION E

True or false?

Yup, it's true.

"Ernie Els is a South African golfer."

Yes, he is.

-You're absolutely certain?

-Yup.

-No doubt in your mind?

-No.

100%. 100%.

So we're expecting this to turn green, because you said true.

"Ernie Els is a South African golfer" - true or false?

It's true.

-Interesting, isn't it?

-What's a Falabella?

It's back to the old Falabella, then, up the top, there.

This is an interesting time, I think, to have a show of hands.

Richard, let's start with you -

-have we passed the one you thought was wrong?

-No.

Aref, we passed the one you thought was wrong?

-No.

-Bernie, we passed the one you thought was wrong?

No.

This is interesting, isn't it?

THEY LAUGH

Of course, the Usual Suspects have been wrong before -

they've said they thought you got one wrong

and you turned out to get Perfection.

Here we come, back to the one you were worried about from the start.

HE RE-READS QUESTION A

You had a long think about this, didn't recognise the word at all,

so you decided it was false.

If you're right, and this turns red, you leave here with £9,000.

If you're wrong and it turns green,

the Usual Suspects have succeeded

and the money rolls over for them in the next game

and maybe you should have chosen to have someone come down with you.

Yeah...take the risk.

"A Falabella is a miniature horse."

You said that's false. You need this to turn red.

Is it true or false, for £9,000?

-It's true!

-Ahhh!

Interesting - Bernie, you said you were 100% confident on five.

-Yeah.

-That included that one, did it?

Um...it did, yeah, because I used to have a pony,

and I know that a Falabella is a miniature horse.

Interesting - they're so small, they're not even ridable.

-No.

-People don't ride them.

-Aref, did you know about Falabellas?

-Yeah, I've heard about it.

To be honest, unfortunately, it's his loss now, so...

-Ooh!

-Ooh!

Well, you did actually turn him down earlier on,

I think he's getting you back for that one.

Usual Suspects, that's great news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game,

where one of you could be playing for £10,000.

You failed to achieve Perfection, so you go home without the cash,

but with our thanks for being such a great sport - did you enjoy it?

-I had a great time.

-Lovely - let's hear it for Craig.

APPLAUSE

That's all we have time for. Please join us next time

when our Usual Suspects have the chance to play for £10,000.

Remember, on this show, five out of six just isn't good enough.

We only pay for absolute Perfection. Goodbye.
