Episode 12 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz show that demands perfection.

Behind this screen are four contestants

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 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 could 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.

Now, each Usual Suspect will play a maximum of eight games,

so they will need to think carefully and strategically about how

to play the perfect game, and when to come down to help.

So you know how the game works -

let's meet the Usual Suspects.

Hi, I'm Karen. I'm from the East Midlands.

I'm a housewife, and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Gary. I'm from Edinburgh.

I'm an improvement advisor, and this is my second game.

Hi, I'm Chris. I'm from Bolton.

I'm a marketing executive, and this is my third game.

Hello, I'm Maunagh.

I'm a portrait painter from Bristol,

and this is my fourth game.

Best of luck as we now find out which one of you has been

randomly picked to play Perfection.

Karen, it's you.

Please come down and play.

APPLAUSE

Karen, welcome to the game.

Seat 1 strikes again!

This is tenth time out of 23 games

that somebody has come straight in

and straight down to play.

Let's find out about you.

-You're very keen on your tennis?

-Yes.

I've just qualified as a line judge.

I play a lot and...yeah. I've just started to do that.

Any ambitions in the line judging?

-Wimbledon one day?

-Maybe.

Be nice to be sworn at by a better quality of player, wouldn't it?

Yes.

-It would.

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

Your team-mates are now your enemies.

Their job is to stop you winning the prize fund,

because your failure means the 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 great news for you - nobody's won the last seven games.

-I know.

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

So what are you going to spend the money on?

I've read Andy Murray is opening a hotel in Scotland,

so I thought that would be nice to take the family.

Certainly, if you're a tennis fan, it would make sense to go there.

-It must have tennis courts there, I'd imagine.

-I believe they have!

OK, best of luck. Here's how it works.

You play three rounds to the Final.

Every round you achieve Perfection makes the Final easier,

but if your performance is less than perfect,

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

making the Final that much harder for you.

Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off for now

so you cannot see or hear anything.

Each round consists of four true or false statements.

You'll be answering against the clock.

You'll only have 45 seconds

and once you've given an answer,

your first answer will be locked in.

Yup.

-Ready?

-Ready.

Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1. Your 45 seconds starts now.

READS STATEMENTS ALOUD

Sounds possible.

Erm...true.

Goya I believe was a Spanish artist, so I would say, yes, true.

Complete guess, false.

Erm...yes. True.

With time to spare, you've answered all four statements. How was that?

Yes. That was fine.

Perfection?

Erm...possibly not.

Before we find out whether it is or isn't,

we'll have a word with the Usual Suspects.

Don't forget they will be able to hear you.

So, here are the four statements

and next to them are Karen's answers.

So, Maunagh, has she achieved Perfection?

A and B, I think, might be wrong.

OK. Chris, what do you think?

I've got a funny feeling that C is true.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly

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

Well, two out of four, I'm afraid,

isn't Perfection.

That means the Usual Suspects now have a chance to steal the round.

Fire away.

Has anyone heard of the Goya awards?

No. Well, Goya's a painter,

so I thought that's a strange thing to call a film award.

But it could be.

I'd be happy to change A and B.

A and B, shall we do A and B?

Right, Nick, A and B - change them.

A changes from true to false, B changes from true to false

and the C and D as answered by Karen.

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

UKIP leader Nigel Farage was born in France - true or false?

Yes, false.

Born in Kent, in actual fact.

The Goya awards are Spain's main film awards.

Is that true or false?

It's true, I'm afraid.

So, Usual Suspects, you can't achieve Perfection.

I wonder if you can achieve Perfection at home.

Let's go through the rest of the statements.

Richard Nixon's middle name was Milhous - true or false?

That's actually true.

Rod Stewart is a model railway enthusiast? True or false?

Absolutely true.

Very keen on his model railways.

Let's have a look at your final board, Karen.

These six blank spaces

need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are your final round category options.

If you'd won the round, you'd have had the opportunity of adding

a couple of categories of your own to the board,

but as nobody managed to achieve Perfection,

the two categories that were due to be chosen this time

will be carried over into the next round,

meaning four categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, we'll see you in Round 2. Cheerio.

We can chat now - they can't hear us - about the list.

So which two will you be choosing when you win the next round?

-Vegetables.

-Yeah.

Probably Wildlife.

And two you're quite keen to avoid?

The Goons. Aussie Soaps, I really don't know anything about.

OK. Well, remember, Karen, in order to win the prize money,

you'll need to answer all six correctly.

So winning the next round, when you have four available, would be good.

-It would be very nice.

-Ready?

-Ready.

-Let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

True. I know that is true.

True.

Erm...I haven't watched Cheers.

-False.

-False.

-False.

Erm...well, that's possible.

Pirelli is a tyre manufacturer in Burton,

so I'm going to go true.

True.

-I know that to be true.

-True.

And with time to spare, you have asked all four statements.

-That sounded very positive.

-Very positive. Yup.

That's Perfection, is it?

-I think it is.

-Before we find out for certain,

let's have a word with the Usual Suspects

and see if they pick holes in it.

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements.

Next to them are Karen's answers. Chris, has she achieved Perfection?

I think B should be true.

I'm fairly sure the opposite of surplus is deficit,

so I think that's false.

Gary, what do you think?

I agree with Chris that the opposite of surplus is deficit.

-So that should be false.

-OK, Karen, the moment of truth.

Let's find out how many are correct.

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

and once again, the Usual Suspects have a chance to steal.

Usual Suspects, discuss.

I think we're all agreed, aren't we?

-We'd like to change D.

-I thought that was where you were going.

D changes to false, leaving A, B, and C as answered by Karen.

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

Acupuncture is a form of traditional Chinese medicine - true or false?

It's true.

Shelley Winters played Diane in the sitcom Cheers - true or false ?

Yes, false. Shelley Long is the person who play Diane in Cheers.

The Pirelli Stadium is the home of Burton Albion FC - true or false ?

It's true.

The opposite of surplus is surfeit - true or false ?

It's false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Exactly as the Usual Suspects explained,

surplus and surfeit are pretty much the same thing,

and it's actually deficit which is the opposite.

Let's see the final board.

Nothing on there at the moment,

despite our having just finished Round 2

and that is because no-one won the first round

which means, Usual Suspects, because you won the round,

you get to choose four categories for the Final.

-So which four would you like?

-Why don't we choose one each, then...?

I don't think Karen would know much about Shipping News.

Who does?! That's my thought.

I'm thinking Aussie Soaps.

You going with those two?

-Shipping News and Aussie Soaps?

-Yes.

So, Shipping News goes in and Aussie Soaps.

I think I'll put the Middle Ages in.

Middle Ages goes in.

I'm looking at The Munsters, personally.

What about Finance?

-I think Munsters is...

-Yeah.

-Let's go with Munsters. Munsters.

-Munsters goes into the Final.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

you have won the second round.

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

So, Shipping News.

Yeah. They're absolutely right,

I know absolutely nothing about Shipping News.

You didn't want Aussie soaps

-and they zeroed in on that very quickly.

-They did, yeah.

Middle Ages? History?

Erm...possibly. That could be OK.

The Munsters...

Not a good choice!

-No?

-No.

-You still have one round to find Perfection

-and get a couple of categories in for yourself.

-My vegetables.

-Yeah.

-So, if you're ready?

-I'm ready.

-Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Erm... False.

False.

Erm...west coast...

-True.

-True.

I don't know it. Erm...

But I will say true.

True. And finally...

Erm...

Again, I don't know.

-I will say true.

-True.

With not much time to spare, you answered all four statements.

-How was that?

-Not good.

-No?

-Not good.

Before we find out exactly, let's have a word with the Usual Suspects.

So here are the four statements

and next to them are Karen's answers. Gary, how has she done?

D is wrong. People who know me know

I like Britney, and her first UK number one

was Hit Me Baby One More Time.

Genie In A Bottle was actually Christina Aguilera.

-But I don't know if it got to number one.

-Interesting.

-Chris, how do you think she's done?

-D is definitely Christina Aguilera.

-Maunagh?

-I'm questioning A slightly, but I don't know.

OK, you need to have answered all four statements perfectly

to have won the round - let's see how many are correct.

Ah...it's not moving.

It's not moving.

It's zero.

Zero puts us in a bit of a quandary.

If you'd just got one statement right,

the Usual Suspects would've had to work out the missing answers to win the round.

But there's no point asking you to change the answers

because we know all four are wrong.

Let's fill in the Usual Suspects' answers for them,

which are the exact opposite of Karen's answers

and, Usual Suspects, by default, you have achieved Perfection.

Congratulations.

APPLAUSE

Still gave themselves a round of applause, though!

Let's go through those in some detail, shall we?

The abbreviation LL.D denotes a Doctor of Law.

That is, of course, true.

The Bay of Bengal is on India's west coast - true or false?

No, it isn't. That's false.

It's on the east coast.

Margaret Atwood's Alias Grace won the Booker prize.

Oh, no, it didn't.

She won it in 2000 for her novel The Blind Assassin.

Then finally, Genie in the Bottle

was Britney Spears debut UK number one - true or false?

False, for the extended reasons given by Gary,

which I don't need to go over again,

because he gave a much better explanation than I ever would.

So, Usual Suspects, you have the opportunity of a clean sweep

with Karen, really. Let's see the final board, shall we?

Four subject categories chosen by you

and because you won the final round as well,

the chance to choose the last two categories as well. So, fire away.

-I think Finance is a goer, isn't it?

-Yes.

-Do you think Karen would know much about Country Music?

-Yes.

Finance and...Country Music?

-Yeah.

-Finance goes into the Final.

-And Country Music.

-And Country Music.

Lovely. Thank you very much.

So, we now know our six final categories -

they are Shipping News, Aussie Soaps, Middle Ages,

The Munsters, Finance

and Country Music.

Time to switch you off, Usual Suspects,

but we will see you soon.

Finance?

Erm...depends how the question falls.

-Country Music?

-Not really.

I'm not a fan of country music.

So it's not a good board.

-Still, you never know.

-You never know.

-You never know

what the questions are going to be.

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

APPLAUSE

Karen, this is the all-important Final.

If you can achieve Perfection, you could leave with a prize fund

-of £8,000 - which'd be rather nice, wouldn't it?

-It would!

If you fail, you leave with nothing,

which is great for the Usual Suspects because one of them

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

Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Karen, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win £8,000.

Think carefully, there's no time limit,

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

-Are you ready?

-I'm ready.

Your first statement.

Erm...I've heard of Dogger Bank.

I'm going to say true.

True.

I would have absolutely no idea.

-True.

-True.

That sounds so unlikely, I will have to go false.

-False?

-False.

Morticia, I believe, is from the Addams Family.

So I'm going to go false.

False.

Erm...Warren Buffett was certainly something to do with the US.

-So I'm going to stay true.

-True.

And finally, Country Music.

I have no idea who Willie Nelson is,

or who was nicknamed The Man In Black.

-False.

-False.

And with that you have answered all six statements

and those answers are locked in.

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

How much fun was that?

SHE LAUGHS

So much fun(!)

I usually ask - which ones are you worried about?

-Which ones are you confident on?

-Er...

I feel sure that Morticia was from the Addams Family.

And motet just sounds too ridiculous.

So C and D. You're feeling good about those.

Let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

Find out what they've got to say.

You can now see the final six statements with Karen's answers.

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

but if you think you may have made a mistake,

you can unlock the board with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will, however, come at a cost.

Karen, who would you like to hear from first?

Erm...Gary. Can I hear from you?

You've done reasonably well, actually.

But there's definitely a couple I'm not sure of,

so it's a bit too high a risk for me. I will rule myself out.

Sorry, Karen.

OK, thanks, Gary.

And, Maunagh, how do you think I did?

To be honest, I'm not too sure of a couple of them,

so I wouldn't be willing to come down.

-You are ruling yourself out?

-Yes.

Chris? How do you think I did?

You've definitely got one wrong.

I'm willing to help you,

but it's going to cost you £5,000

for the one definite wrong answer.

OK - thanks, Chris.

One offer you have at the moment is from Chris

who wants £5,000 of your £8,000 prize money

to come down and help you out with the one he thinks you have wrong.

So, your options are now to renegotiate with Chris,

go it alone, it's up to you.

So, Chris, if I offered you 4,000, would you come down?

Yes, I would. I'd come down for half. Yes.

OK, Chris, I'd like you to come down and help me.

-OK.

-OK, it's agreed. Negotiations are over.

For £4,000 of the £8,000 prize fund, Chris, please come and join us.

APPLAUSE

OK, Karen, you've asked Chris for help,

If you achieve Perfection,

it'll cost £4,000 of your potential prize fund.

Chris, you've forfeited your chance to play in the next game.

This is your one and only shot at winning Perfection.

Have you made the right decision? I think we're about to find out.

Here are the final round statements. Fire away.

OK, Chris, so which do you know?

I know B is false.

He was in Neighbours.

-Oh, is it?

-Yes.

-OK.

And I know you've got D right.

-D is right, yes.

-That is the Addams Family.

Warren Buffett was definitely something to do with the US.

-He rings a bell for something financial.

-He was.

But whether it was the Federal Reserve...

Willie Nelson..."Man in Black" doesn't ring a bell.

I don't know him at all.

I just don't know the name.

-I know Dogger Bank is a shipping forecast area.

-It is.

-A motet sounds too unlikely, doesn't it?

-It does, yeah.

-Motet, motel...

-Exactly.

-So B we are for sure going to...

-100%.

-..change from true to false.

-B changes from true to false?

-Yeah.

-Any others?

-Chris?

-I'm happy with the rest of them.

The rest we'll keep the same.

Let's lock those in.

And there they go.

OK, £8,000 at stake, £4,000 to Karen, £4,000 to Chris.

Six answers away.

Let's find out if you have achieved Perfection.

Just before we get started, I'd like to find out from the guys...

Gary, you thought that was one wrong.

Am I thinking it's the same one that's been changed?

-Toadfish definitely is Neighbours, not Home And Away.

-OK. And Maunagh?

Warren Buffet might be wrong.

Warren Buffett might be a stumbling block.

Well, let's start with the top...

No, I tell you what, let's find out straightaway

-whether Chris has come down and helped you or hindered you.

-OK.

No pressure.

Toadfish is a character in Home And Away?

Now, Karen, you said this was true,

but admitted you didn't know anything about Aussie soaps.

-True.

-And, in fact, Chris was part of the team that chose it for you

to make things difficult for you.

So, it'd be embarrassing if he'd made a mistake for you.

So if is it true or false?

It is false. Very well done.

He is a character in Neighbours.

-You can relax a bit now.

-I can! Breathe.

Let's go to the top then, and start to work our way down.

Dogger Bank is in the North Sea. You said true. Is it true or false?

It is true, very well done.

A motet was a medieval hostel.

You said that just didn't sound right. Is it true or false?

It's false. Very well done.

It's a 13th century and Renaissance musical form.

That's it!

As you knew all along, Chris!

So, Herman Munster's wife was called Morticia.

Karen, you said as far as we were concerned,

Morticia was actually more to do with the Addams family.

You said false. Chris was happy with that. You stayed false.

Is it true or false?

-False.

-APPLAUSE

Lily was Herman Munster's wife.

Morticia was, of course, married to Gomez Addams.

Two away from the money.

Of course, Maunagh is hoping that Warren Buffett will trip you up

and lose it for you. Let's hop over it for the moment.

Willie Nelson is nicknamed the Man In Black.

You said this was false.

Chris was happy to go with that, too.

Is it true or false?

-It's false.

-APPLAUSE

It was Johnny Cash's nickname, the Man In Black.

Yes. Well, here we are then.

Maunagh's hoping that Warren Buffett might be something else

other than chair of the US Federal Reserve.

You, however, thought that he did have something to do with finance.

So it all rests on this one.

Warren Buffett was the chair of the US Federal Reserve.

You said this was true. Chris was happy to keep it at true.

If it turns green, you've won the £8,000

and the prize fund is reset to £1,000 for the Usual Suspects.

Is it true or false, for £8,000?

-It's false.

-AUDIENCE GROANS

He's a stock market investor.

Last hurdle, as Maunagh was hoping, there was a stumble.

-Did you know that?

-I suspected.

Suspected there might be something there and you are right in the end.

Terrible news for you. You haven't achieved Perfection.

Great news for the Usual Suspects and the prize fund rolls over

to the next game, where one of you could be playing

for a total of £9,000.

APPLAUSE

Karen and Chris, you failed to achieve Perfection

which means you go home with nothing but our thanks for playing.

-I hope you enjoyed the process.

-Very much, thank you.

Let's hear it for Chris and Karen.

APPLAUSE

Well, it's now time to meet the next Usual Suspects

hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspects, please introduce yourselves.

Hi. I'm Simon from Stockport and I'm a credit controller.

Hi, I'm Sam from Crewe and I'm a dental nurse.

Welcome, Simon and Sam.

And best of luck to all of you as we know find out

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

Gary, it's you!

-Please come down and join me.

-APPLAUSE

Welcome to the game. It is now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

Here's the good news - nobody has won the last eight games.

The prize fund currently stands at £9,000.

APPLAUSE

So, what are you going to spend the money on?

Actually, I've just had my car serviced and it's eight years old now

and getting to a stage where it's costing more than it's worth,

so maybe actually put it towards a new car.

£9,000, you should pick up something nice for that, would you?

-Very nice.

-Three rounds and a final to come.

Usual Suspects, we'll switch off so you can't see or hear anything

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

-Are you ready?

-I am.

-Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1. Your 45 seconds start now.

-I have never heard of Jim Jarmusch so I will say false.

-False.

-I do believe that is the case, so I will say true.

-True.

Again, I'm not too sure on that one

so I will say false.

False. And finally...

Again, a bit of a guess, to be honest.

-I will say true.

-True.

And with good time management,

you answered all four - how was that?

Quite a few guesses there but, you know,

-I only know what I know, so we'll see.

-OK.

Before we reveal how well you've done,

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements

and next to them are Gary's answers. Maunagh, kick us off here.

Has he achieved Perfection?

I don't know who wrote The Adventures of Davy Crockett

but I have a feeling it wasn't Mark Twain so I would question D.

-Sam?

-The same as Maunagh.

The only one I was questioning was D.

Simon, can you see anything wrong with those answers?

I don't want to sound boring, but I think D is wrong.

They seem to think you have got one wrong.

You need to have answered all statements perfectly

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

Three out of four is a good score but not enough

to keep the Usual Suspects out of the game.

They now have a chance to steal the round.

I wonder which one they are going to change. Take your time.

Don't rush into anything.

We're all agreed, aren't we?

Yes. We'd like to change D, please,

from true to false.

D changes from true to false,

leaving A, B and C

as answered by Gary.

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

Jim Jarmusch was a US Olympic long jump champion. True or false?

He's an American film director, in actual fact.

Robbie Williams was born in Stoke-on-Trent. True or False?

Absolutely true.

Malcolm X was assassinated after Martin Luther King Jr.

Is that true or false?

1965, Malcolm X. 1968, Martin Luther King Jr.

Mark Twain wrote The Adventures of Davy Crockett. True or false?

False. Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

-you have achieved Perfection.

-APPLAUSE

Because Davy Crockett was real, not fictional.

That's why Mark Twain didn't write it.

Gary, they manage to succeed where you failed

and have stolen the round.

Let's have a look at your final board.

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

Here are your final round category options,

starting with French Pop

and going through Nicknames, Corrie

and onto Film Villains

with many more in-between.

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you,

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

-So, fire away. Which two would you like?

-Definitely not the pop.

I think he's quite good at his music.

Not Corrie, I somehow think.

-What about Ships, maybe?

-I was thinking Ships.

-20th Century Art strikes me as a possibility.

-Yeah, yeah.

We'll have Ships...

Ships goes into the Final.

And 20th Century Art.

And 20th Century Art.

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

It's time to switch you off but see you in Round 2.

-Ships?

-I know everything there is to know about ships - not!

-20th Century Art?

-Yeah, they have done well.

They are two categories I definitely would not have picked

and the two they mentioned, possibly pop and Corrie,

would have been the two that I'd have picked.

The ones you'll be going for when you win a round.

And two that you are quite keen to avoid?

Central America and Peaks.

-All right. Are you ready to carry on?

-I am.

Three out of four wasn't bad.

Just need to go that one step further to achieve Perfection.

Let's play Round 2.

Your 45 seconds start now.

Well, I'm a statistician, I've got a degree in statistics

so I'll hopefully get this right, that is true.

True.

-That doesn't sound true. That doesn't sound right, so that's false.

-False.

I believe he has. That's true.

True. And finally...

That sounds like a medicine, so I will say false.

False. Good time management.

Used what little time there was left to have a think about that one.

I've heard of it, but it sounded more like some prescription-type thing

-rather than something I've seen on a Periodic Table.

-All right.

Before we see how you've done, time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, here are the four statements and next to them are Gary's answers.

Simon, what do you make of these answers?

I think he's got Perfection this round. Done very well.

Maunagh.

Aspartame is a sweetener, I believe.

I'm not too sure about Will Smith.

I would have gone the same way as him with all the answers.

Interesting. Let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four, again. You're consistent.

Yeah. I'm doing better than I thought I would.

But consistently just under par

and not able to keep the Usual Suspects out the game.

They have a chance to steal.

All they have to do is find the right one answer to change.

Come to think about the Will Smith one.

Summertime, it wasn't a solo one, he did it with Jazzy Jeff,

I think it was. I think that's false.

That's true, actually.

If any, I would change C.

We'll change C, please.

C changes from true to false,

leaving A, B and D

as answered by Gary.

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

An acute angle is less than 90 degrees. Is that true or false?

It's true. Ali Bongo became president of Gabon in 2009.

True or false?

True. He succeeded his father, Omar Bongo.

Bit of a surprise, but nonetheless, the one you were looking for.

You have not achieved Perfection, Usual Suspects.

I wonder whether you can still achieve Perfection at home?

Will Smith has had a UK no.1 single as a solo artist. True or False?

That's true, for Men In Black.

Aspartame is an element on the Periodic Table. True or false?

False. And Maunagh,

you are absolutely right.

It's a sweetener, an artificial sweetener.

Let's see the final board.

Currently, two categories occupied in the Final.

Because neither side won the round,

the two categories that should have been chosen will be carried

over to the next round, where four categories will be on offer.

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

We're going to switch you off now and see you in Round 3.

The key thing now is obviously to do well in this round.

You've had two lots of three. You've come close both times.

Get Perfection this time and you get to choose four subject categories.

That has got to help, hasn't it?

-Let's get on with it and see if I can do it.

-Let's play Round 3.

Your 45 seconds start now.

-That's...false.

-False.

-I've never heard of it so I think that's false.

-False.

Erm...I'm not a fan of geography

so I will say false for that as well.

And finally...

He invented the television but was it that year?

-I'll say true.

-True.

And with a little time to spare,

you've answered all four statements and they're locked in. Happy?

B and C were a bit of a guess, to be honest.

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

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

Sam, what do you think?

B, Sparta,

I think that could be true.

-Maunagh.

-Sparta was a city

in ancient Greece.

I'm not sure about C either.

Let's find out whether they're correct or you are.

Two out of four.

You've let your enemies into the game.

Can you steal the round?

There are four categories on offer in the Final if you get this right.

Which two do you want to change?

A is definitely false.

It was Rocky Balboa, wasn't it?

Both of you were confident

on B being true.

I think I'm right that there is a city...

I'm happy to change it.

How did you feel about D, Maunagh?

What did you think?

I know that he's the right man.

-He did invent television.

-C?

-C.

OK. We're going to go to change

B and C, please, Nick.

B changes from false to true.

C changes from false to true,

leaving A and D as answered by Gary.

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

In the "Rocky" films, Rocky's surname is Jojoba.

Is that true or false?

Yeah, it's false. It's Rocky Balboa, as you said, Sam.

Sparta was a city in ancient Greece.

True or false?

True. Absolutely right, Maunagh. Well done.

Baltimore is the state capital of Maryland. This is a key one.

True or false?

-False!

-AUDIENCE GROANS

Baltimore's the largest city,

but Annapolis is the state capital of Maryland.

So, Usual Suspects, you failed to achieve Perfection.

Can you still achieve Perfection at home?

John Logie Baird invented television in the 1890s. True or False?

That's false, I'm afraid.

He gave the first public demonstration in the 1920s,

but 1890s is far too early.

Let's see the final board.

Nobody managed to win Round 2 or Round 3.

How do we fill in these blank spaces?

Well, you'll take it in turns to choose categories and, Gary,

as you're the single player, you get to go first.

-Which category would you like to add?

-Corrie.

Corrie goes into the Final.

Usual Suspects?

I think Computers, personally.

OK. Computers.

Computers goes into the Final.

-One more from you, Gary?

-1970s TV.

1970s TV goes in.

-Central America.

-OK.

Yes. Central America.

Central America goes in.

Thank you very much, Usual Suspects.

We now know our six final categories. They are:

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

And away they go. You didn't want Central America, did you?

-Not particularly.

-No, and you got that.

And they chose Computers -

an odd choice for a statistician.

That's what...I thought that was a bit odd

cos I use computers every day in my job.

You must have some knowledge of it.

All right, Gary, you're in with a chance then, aren't you?

-We'll see.

-Come on! There's always a chance.

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

APPLAUSE

Gary, this is the Final.

If you can achieve Perfection, you could be leaving with a prize fund

-of £9,000. £9,000!

-It would be nice.

-Wouldn't that be great?

Of course, if you fail, you are leaving with nothing.

Great news for the Usual Suspects, as one of them could be playing

for a rollover of £10,000 for the next game.

-You wouldn't want that to happen, would you?

-Not particularly.

-Let's play the final round.

-APPLAUSE

Gary, here are your final categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £9,000. Think carefully.

There is no time limit, but once you give an answer,

your first answer, it will be locked in.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Best of luck.

Let's reveal your first statement. Ships.

I've heard of Rainbow Warrior.

I'm just finding it a bit hard to believe that a whale sunk it.

-On that logic, I'm going to say false.

-False.

It doesn't sound a Spanish word. Why would it be originated in Spain?

-For that reason, I'm going to say false.

-False.

Then we come to the first of the categories you chose yourself.

Corrie.

Her trademark was indeed a hairnet, so I'm going to say true for that.

True. Computers

I have never heard of the name Steve Jobs.

So I don't know who formed Apple so it's not really helping me.

-So I'll say false.

-False.

I know it was...

The Bionic Woman in the 1970s

was played by Lindsay Wagner.

Farrah Fawcett-Majors was a Charlie's Angel.

-So that is false.

-False. And finally...

I really should have carried on doing geography at school,

but I dropped it to do something else.

I'm going to say...

-true for that one.

-True.

With that, you've answered all six statements and those answers are locked in.

If you make one single mistake, you go home with nothing.

Which ones are you worried about?

The ones I'm confident with are pretty much Corrie and the 1970s TV,

so the two I picked, I'm confident with.

The other four, 50-50 each.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-All right.

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

Usual Suspects, you can now see the final fix statements.

Next to them are Gary's answers.

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

but if you think you've made a mistake

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

This will, however, come at a cost.

Gary, who would you like to hear from first?

Simon, how do you feel I've done?

I think you've got a couple wrong, so I'm not 100% certain

so I don't think I can help you in this round, sorry.

-Ruling yourself out definitely?

-Definitely. Sorry.

-OK.

-Sam.

-You've done really well.

There's a few of the questions that I wouldn't know the answer to.

I don't want to risk it.

-Sorry, Gary. Good luck.

-Thank you.

Maunagh. Do you want to share the money with me?

I think there's one that you've got wrong

but I'm not confident enough, really, to come down.

-So I think I'll rule myself out.

-Can't be tempted?

You know what? I would feel awful if I came down

and I'm not confident enough to get this right.

So I think I'm going to rule myself out.

That's it. You're on your own, Gary.

None of the Usual Suspects are willing to help you.

So, £9,000 at stake. Six answers away.

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

One thing we can do, now we know you're playing on your own,

we can find out...

Maunagh, you said there was one that you felt was wrong. Which one?

I'm worried about F.

That's interesting.

We can start with that one and make the decision straightaway

or we could leave it till last, which might be more fun.

Let's start at the top. The ship Rainbow Warrior was sunk by a whale.

You'd heard of Rainbow Warrior and it just didn't seem right

that it could be sunk by a whale. So you said false.

Is it true or false?

It's false. Very well done.

It was actually sunk by the French intelligence service,

-believe it or not.

-OK!

Futurism originated in Spain.

You said it didn't sound like a Spanish word

so you went with false on this.

Is it true or false?

Yeah, it is false. Very well done.

Italian, not Spanish at all.

Ena Sharples' trademark was her hairnet. You said true.

Is it true or false?

It is true. Very well done. That's exciting, isn't it?

-To get halfway to the money?

-That is surprisingly exciting.

So, let's move on to Steve Jobs left Microsoft to form Apple.

This is one of the ones you weren't so sure about.

In fact, I tell you what, because you're not sure about that,

let's leave that one for a second as well. Let's move on to E.

Farrah Fawcett-Majors played The Bionic Woman. You said false.

-Because you think it was played by...

-Lindsay Wagner.

-And you think Farrah Fawcett-Majors was...

-A Charlie's Angel.

So this should turn red. Is it true or false?

-Yes. It is false. Very well done.

-APPLAUSE

For exactly the reasons you just gave me. Absolutely right on that.

So we are left with these two you were really worried about.

The first one, Steve Jobs left Microsoft to form Apple.

You went with false because you thought you'd have heard about it.

If it turns red you are just one away

from the £9,000.

Is that true or false?

-It is false.

-APPLAUSE

Steve Jobs never worked at Microsoft.

-Actually, he worked at Atari and he did set up Apple. Steve Jobs.

-Right.

-OK.

-What an interesting position we find ourselves in.

Five out of six, having gone all on your own. OK, here we go.

Nicaragua lies between Costa Rica

and Honduras.

If Maunagh had come down, you would have changed it.

As it is, she didn't, so you stuck with true.

You need this to turn green.

If it does, you're walking out of here with £9,000.

If, however, it turns red, the money rolls over to the Usual Suspects

and they will be playing for £10,000 in the next game.

Nicaragua lies between Costa Rica and Honduras. You said true.

Is it true or false, for £9,000?

-It's true!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-You have achieved Perfection and won £9,000!

-Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! HE LAUGHS

I don't believe it! I really do not believe that!

-Make a difference, £9,000?

-Totally! I just...I'm just shell-shocked.

There is a combination of feelings, I would imagine, for Maunagh,

because if you'd have come down and actually changed one,

that would have been quite a difficult conversation to have.

That would have been terrible.

The money has gone, so bad news for the Usual Suspects.

The money has been won,

so we reset the total to £1,000 for our next game.

Very well played, Gary. You thoroughly deserved it.

Let's hear it for Gary, everybody, who won £9,000!

APPLAUSE

That is all we have time for.

Join us next time when our Usual Suspects

have the chance to play again for £1,000.

Remember, on this show, we will pay when we find absolute Perfection.

-Goodbye. Well done!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
