Episode 14 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz show that demands perfection.

Behind this screen are four contestants who'll be hoping their knowledge is flawless,

because one single mistake could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome to Perfection,

the quiz show where only perfect play is good enough.

Behind me are the contestants, we call them the Usual Suspects.

They are 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 a single answer wrong, their opponents, the Usual Suspects,

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

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, my name's Mike, I live in Hastings Old Town,

I'm a retired schoolteacher and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Karen, I live in Hinton Parva in Wiltshire,

I work as an IT project manager and this is my third game.

Hi, I'm Simon from Stockport.

I'm a credit controller and this is my fourth game.

Hi, I'm Sam from Crewe, I'm a dental nurse and this is my fourth game.

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

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

Simon, it's you. Please come down and join me.

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

-Now, you and your wife have, like, the great romance.

-Yeah.

-How old were you when you met?

-Teenagers. About 14, 15.

Proposed on her 18th birthday and we were married. Got married in 2001.

-Married ever since.

-Wow.

-Yes, long time.

-That's like a proper romance, isn't it?

-Yeah, very happy.

-Still very much in love?

-Oh, yes, very much.

Correct answer, very well done. And you're quite a keen fitness fan, aren't you?

-You do a lot of marathons.

-Yes, I've done four so far and I'm hoping to do more.

Anywhere in the world you'd really like to have a go?

I'd love to do the New York one.

I've never been to New York, but I'd love to see the whole city,

-but great way of doing it, by running it.

-That's good.

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

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

Their job is to stop you from winning the prize fund,

because your failure will mean the prize money rolls over to the

next game, where they could be playing here for even more.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Here's the good news - nobody's won the last game,

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

APPLAUSE

So, do you know what you'll be spending that on, if you win it?

Put it towards a holiday for my wife and my two kids.

-That'll go towards it, won't it?

-Oh, yeah, definitely.

Good luck. Here's how it works. You'll play three rounds, then a final.

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

If your performance is anything less than perfect, the Usual Suspects

will have a chance to step in and steal the round,

making the final much harder for you. More on that to follow.

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

so you can't see or hear anything.

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

without giving away any vital knowledge. 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.

-OK.

-Ready?

-Yes, very much.

Then let's play Perfection.

Round 1, your 45 seconds starts now.

-Not 100%, but I'll say false.

-False.

-It rings a bell, so I'll say that's true.

-True.

I know kryptonite is his...

I'll say false.

False. And finally...

I'm not famous for my cooking, so I'll say that's...

I'll say it's true.

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

-You say you're not so good on the cookery?

-No.

-You're not the cook in the house?

-Not really, no.

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

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

These are the four statements

and next to them are Simon's answers. Sam, kick us off.

-How do you think he's done here?

-C keeps jumping out at me.

-I recognise Krypton. I don't know why it's ringing bells.

-All right.

Karen, what do you think?

I know Agatha Christie died at a very young age,

so I'm not sure about A.

And again, like Sam, I think C might be true.

Mike, can you see anything wrong with those answers?

I've got a feeling C could be wrong. And I've no idea about D.

All right, Simon, the moment of truth, you need to have answered

all four statements correctly to have won the round.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Just two out of four, in actual fact.

Certainly not perfection and you've let your enemies into the game.

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

-OK, guys, so we've all mentioned C.

-I think it is Krypton.

It was kryptonite that makes him...

That's where I got it from, kryptonite.

-Yeah, so C we'll change.

-D is correct.

-D's correct.

-D is correct, is it?

-So I would say A and C.

-A and C, cos you mentioned A, didn't you, Karen?

-Yeah.

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

A from false to true.

-And C from false to true, as well.

-And C from false to true,

leaving B and D as answered by Simon. Thank you very much,

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 A

Is that true or false?

It's false, Usual Suspects.

She actually died at the age of 85.

Karen, if that's young, we're all in for a long ride. That's fantastic.

Unfortunately, it means, Usual Suspects,

you can't achieve perfection, but maybe you can still achieve perfection at home.

Let's have a look through the statements and answers, shall we?

HE READS B

That's false. That's one of the ones you were looking for.

He was the 40th president, in actual fact.

HE READS C

Is that true or false?

Yes, that's true, that was one of the ones you needed to change.

HE READS D

True or false?

-True, which seems to have come as a surprise to Mike.

-Never heard of it.

Never heard of it. All right, Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection,

you would now have the opportunity to make Simon's chances of winning the prize fund a little harder.

Let's take a look at your final board. This is your final board.

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

Here are your final round category options, starting with Flags,

running through Royalty, Fish and onto Former Rulers,

with many more in between. Now if you'd achieved perfection,

you would have the opportunity of adding two categories

of your choice to the board, but because neither side won the round,

the two categories that were due to be chosen will now be carried

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

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

I wonder whether you will rue the day. We'll see you in Round 2.

Cheerio.

Now they've gone, we can have a little chat about that list.

What will be the first two that you choose, given the opportunity?

Football Grounds and Flags.

And two that you're quite keen to avoid?

Nobel Prize and Former Rulers.

OK, well, look, it's only the first round

and obviously doing well in this second round,

where there are four categories on offer, will be a big bonus to you.

-Fingers crossed then.

-Ready to go?

-Ready.

-Let's play Round 2.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Doesn't seem right,

-I'll say that's false.

-False.

Should know this one.

-I'll say false, I don't recognise that name.

-False.

-That's true.

-True.

And finally, with time to spare...

I like Tintin a little bit, but not that much, I'll say that's false.

False. And you've answered all four statements. How did that feel?

-OK.

-Average.

-Average, yeah.

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

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Karen, are there any mistakes?

I think B's wrong, because I think I remember Paddington Bear from

my younger days and I think Michael Hordern did narrate Paddington Bear.

-Mike?

-Michael Hordern did narrate it.

I also think Tintin's arch nemesis is Professor Calculus.

Sam, what do you think?

I'm not with my fellow Usual Suspects on that one.

I'd have agreed with Simon,

I'd have said he's achieved perfection on that board.

Bit of a mixed bag from the Usual Suspects there.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Better. But not quite the full monty.

So, as a result, the Usual Suspects are back in the game.

Can you steal this round?

You need to find just one to change this time, but which one?

OK, I think it's pretty obvious that you both mentioned...

-Shall we go for Michael Hordern?

-Yeah, excellent.

OK, Nick, we're going to change B from false to true, please.

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

as answered by Simon.

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

HE READS A

Yes, it is false.

Sion Corn is Welsh for Father Christmas, in actual fact.

HE READS B

This is the key one, isn't it? True or false?

Yes, absolutely true.

He had a fantastic voice, Michael Hordern. I was a big fan

of Paddington when I was younger, so I remember that.

HE READS C

True or false?

True, and you know where this is going, don't you, Usual Suspects?

HE READS D

True or false?

It's false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

you have achieved perfection.

Tintin's arch nemesis is Professor Calculus.

That's wrong because in fact Professor Calculus

was one of Tintin's allies.

So, Simon, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed

and they've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Simon's chances

of winning the prize fund quite a bit harder, actually.

£2,000 is up for grabs. Let's see the final board.

Because you won the round, you've earned the right to choose not only

the first two categories, but the second two categories,

because we had two carried over from the last round.

So, there are four for you to choose. How are you going to go about it?

-OK. Nobel Prize?

-Yeah, we could go for Nobel Prize.

-Former Rulers, maybe?

-I'd go along with those.

Nobel Prize and Former Rulers, please.

Nobel Prize goes in first and then Former Rulers. I need two more.

Creature Features? What could that be? What are we thinking?

-Could well be.

-Yeah, we could go with that.

What are you thinking, Karen?

Steer clear of Football Grounds and TV Sitcoms. Maybe Flags?

-Flags.

-OK. Flags and what else did we say?

-Flags goes in.

-Creature Features.

-Creature Features, please.

And Creature Features.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have won the second round

and, as a result, sort of won the first round, as well.

Very well played, we'll see you in Round 3.

Well, they zeroed in on a couple you didn't want there.

Don't fancy the Nobel Prize one.

Former Rulers, you said, as well, was one you didn't want. Flags?

-Yeah, I'm happy with that one.

-And Creature Features.

-It could be anything.

-Could be. Depends what we ask, really, doesn't it?

-True.

All right, you still have one more chance to get perfection

and choose your own two categories for the final.

-So, if you're ready?

-Yeah, I'm ready.

-Let's play Round 3.

Your 45 seconds starts now.

Not heard of that.

-I'll say that's false.

-False.

-That's false.

-False.

I haven't got the foggiest idea. I'll say...

-true?

-True, and finally...

-That's definitely false.

-False.

And with that you've answered all four statements.

-You seemed very certain on that one.

-Yeah, I'm from Manchester.

-OK, well, you should be all right with that one.

-Yes, I got one right.

-What about the rest of them?

-I know Cliff Richard, he's not that old.

The other two are guesses.

Before we reveal how well you've done,

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

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

Mike, has he achieved perfection?

I think he has this time.

-I'm not sure about D. But the rest look all right to me.

-Karen?

I'm uncertain about C or D,

-I just don't know those.

-Sam?

I think Simon has achieved perfection on that one.

Well, it's quite a confident shout from the Usual Suspects.

Have you achieved perfection? Let's find out.

You need to have got all four right. How many are correct?

You haven't achieved perfection and you've let your enemies,

the Usual Suspects, back into the game.

Once again, you can steal the round

if you can find the one answer you need to change, Usual Suspects.

Isn't he from Stockport? Is Stockport near Manchester?

Would he know the Manchester one?

Yeah, I think 0151 is Liverpool, somehow.

-That makes me think Liverpool.

-Well, he's right with that then.

-It must be the Gladstone one.

-Yes.

-Cos Cliff Richard's...

-He definitely wasn't born then.

-Yeah, I'd go for C.

-OK, Mike, yeah.

We're going to change C from true to false, please, Nick.

C changes from true to false,

leaving A, B and D as answered by Simon.

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

HE READS A

True or false?

Yeah, false. His parents were from an area which is now Italy,

in the modern day.

HE READS B

Is that true or false?

Yes, of course that's false. 1940.

Sorry, Cliff.

That's the question setters, don't take it out on me,

just cos they set a question like that.

HE READS C

Yeah, false. Very well done. It's the other way round, in fact.

HE READS D

True or false?

Yeah, false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

Yeah, as you said, Sam, 0151 is the dialling code for Liverpool

and very well observed, Simon is from that neck of the woods

and would know the difference, cos he's from Manchester, effectively,

and he knows that it isn't 0151.

Simon, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed, and they've stolen the round.

You can now make Simon's chances of winning the prize fund

about as hard as it can be, really. Let's see the final board.

Four subject categories already chosen by you,

and because you won the last round you choose the last two,

making it a clean sweep. So, what's it to be?

-Fish, maybe?

-Fish.

I think it could be anything, really, couldn't it?

-Any ideas, Mike?

-Erm...

Maybe, Royalty. Royalty and Fish?

Royalty and Fish, please, Nick.

Royalty makes it into the final, as does Fish.

We now know our six final categories and they are...

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

-What about those last two?

-One out of two's not bad.

-I'd have taken the Royalty one, maybe, but not Fish.

-Not Fish.

-Fingers crossed.

-All right, you never know, until you see the questions.

Simon, for £2,000, it's time to play the final.

APPLAUSE

Simon, this is the all-important final.

If you achieve perfection, you could be leaving with £2,000.

Fail, and you'll be leaving with nothing,

which is great news for the Usual Suspects,

as one of them could play for a rollover of £3,000 next.

Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

And, Simon, here are your final six categories...

You must answer all six statements correctly to win the £2,000.

Think carefully, there's no time limit,

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

-Are you ready?

-I'm ready, yeah.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

Tell me whether you believe it to be true or false.

I don't recognise the name.

So it's false.

False.

-Again, not heard the name, so it's false.

-False.

One flag I don't really know.

-So that's false.

-False.

That date rings a bell.

I don't know if it's '21 or '31, but...

-I'll say that's true.

-True.

I've not heard of Gordonstoun, so I'll say...false.

False.

No... Doesn't sound true.

I'll say that's false.

False. And with that you've answered all six statements.

And those answers are locked in.

-Which ones are you worried about?

-Pretty much all of them.

-Really?

-Tough board, you think?

-Yeah.

-Nevertheless, you don't know until you go through them.

-Very true.

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

Usual Suspects, you can see the final six statements

and Simon's answers.

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

But if you think you've made a mistake,

you can open the board with the help of a Usual Suspect.

This will, however, come at a cost.

Usual Suspects, I'm now going to ask you how well

you think Simon has done,

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

Simon, who would you like to hear from first?

-I'll speak to Mike, please.

-Mike.

I've got a feeling that he has got at least two wrong.

But I am really, at this juncture,

not willing to come down for that money.

That's very straightforward. He wants the money to roll over.

£2,000 just isn't enough for Mike to get out of bed for.

-Or off the stool for, to be more accurate.

-True.

-Do you want to hear from someone else?

-Yeah, I'll hear from Sam.

I agree with Mike.

There's two there that I definitely think you've got wrong.

-How do you feel?

-Erm, reasonably confident.

Reasonably confident.

Are you willing to help me?

No, sorry, Simon. I'm not confident.

-I'm not willing to come down at this stage.

-Fair enough.

Not even for half?

£2,000 in the pot, so you're being offered £1,000 to come and join in.

No, I'm sorry.

I'm questioning myself now, so...

I don't want to put your game at risk,

as well as... I'd quite like the money to roll over one more time.

-Sorry, Simon.

-That's truthful.

-And?

-And Karen as well, yeah.

Hi. I think you've got at least three wrong,

and there's two I'm not sure of. But, erm...

I'm not confident enough to come down.

OK, well, negotiations seem to be completed.

None of the Usual Suspects are willing to come to help out,

which means you are on your own.

£2,000 at stake, six answers away,

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

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

-They don't sound very confident, do they, the Usual Suspects?

-No!

-Neither do I.

-All right, well, let's start at the top, shall we?

Henry Kissinger received the Nobel Peace Prize.

Is that true or false? You said false.

We'd like this to turn red to get you off to good start.

It's true, I'm afraid.

Don't like the Nobel Peace Prize.

Didn't want that one.

You said you didn't want it, you got it, and when you saw it...

Yeah, Henry Kissinger did win the Nobel Peace Prize.

So you can't achieve perfection and you won't be taking any cash home.

Perhaps you can still achieve perfection at home.

Let's go through the rest of these statements.

Charles Taylor is a former president of Liberia.

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

Yeah. True, as well, actually.

It became very famous -

there was huge trial for crimes against humanity

and he was jailed for 50 years in 2012.

All right, let's move on.

The South African flag contains red.

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

It's true in actual fact.

The original film of King Kong was released in 1921.

You thought it might be later, but you said true.

Is it true or false?

Yes, it's false, I'm afraid. 1933.

Four wrong, so far. I'd kind of like you to get one right.

Prince Andrew was educated at Gordonstoun.

Is that true or false?

It's true, in actual fact. Yeah, so...

It's not looking good.

Let's have one right one, shall we?

The haddock is a member of the ray family.

Is that true or false?

It's false!

-I got one right!

-Congratulations. It's a member of the cod family.

Well, you said it was a stinker of a round, and to be honest,

the Usual Suspects knew it was a stinker, as well.

But then they set it like that on purpose,

so that the money would roll over

and, guess what, Usual Suspects, the prize fund does roll over

to the next game where one of you could be playing

for a total of £3,000.

APPLAUSE

Simon, you failed to achieve perfection,

which means you go home with nothing but our thanks.

I hope you enjoyed the game even though that last round was a stinker.

-It was, yeah.

-Ladies and gentlemen, let's hear it for, Simon.

It goes like that sometimes.

It's now time to meet the next Usual Suspect

hoping to play Perfection today.

Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hi, I'm Danny, originally from Manchester, and I'm a Drama graduate.

Welcome, Danny. Best of luck to all of you as we now find out

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

Sam, it's you. Please come down and join me.

APPLAUSE

Sam, welcome to the game. Let's find out more about you.

-You're a keen caravanner, aren't you?

-I am.

I just think there's a lot in the UK to visit,

and caravans are so relaxing,

you can just do what you want in them,

you've not got to worry about hotels.

You can take it gently and slowly along all the roads,

holding up all the traffic behind you...!

-More importantly, I can take my dog.

-Take your dog?

-Yeah, yeah.

That's good from that point of view. So the dog gets to go too.

-Very nice.

-Of course, everywhere.

And you're a keen bingo player.

I am, yes. I go with my mum, my nan, or friends.

-Are you competitive?

-I have been known to slam the table a few times.

-Even with your nan?

-Oh, yeah, yeah!

-So, when you win, it's, "In your face, Nan!"

-Definitely.

-That's the whole aim of the game, isn't it?

-Smashing.

So, Sam, it is now you versus the Usual Suspects.

They may have been your team-mates

but they are now very definitely your enemies.

-Their job is to stop you winning. All right?

-Yeah.

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

The prize fund currently stands at £3,000.

APPLAUSE

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

I definitely would go on a caravan holiday. Definitely would.

I just need to relax. I've not been on a holiday for a little while so it would be good.

I'd like to go to America. It's something I'd like to do.

I've loved dolphins since I was young, so my other half Gary said

we'd try to do the two things at once - see America and swim with dolphins.

And you'd maybe hire one of those big sort of tourers, couldn't you?

-Exactly.

-Do some caravanning.

-And take Marley the dog.

-Definitely.

-All right, best of luck. Three rounds and a final to come.

Usual Suspects, got to switch you off so you can't see or hear us.

But as soon as Sam makes a mistake, you'll be back in the game.

Sam, when they're like this, you can talk over your answers

-without giving away knowledge, OK?

-Yes, brilliant.

-Ready?

-Yeah.

-Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1, your 45 seconds starts now.

-Oh, true. I'll go true.

-True.

Never heard of that, but it sounds like it would be quite French.

Yes, true.

True.

Why does that sound familiar?

I'm going to go for true.

-It sounds quite like it would be.

-True.

Not sure on that one, I'll go...

-Sounds like something she would do. No, I'll go false.

-False.

And you have answered all four statements. How was that?

-Nerve-racking?

-Yeah, yeah.

You know you want to question it more, but your time is there, so...

-Time makes a difference, doesn't it?

-A big difference!

Before we reveal how well you've done,

let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements.

Next to them, are Sam's answers. Karen, has she achieved perfection?

I don't know, I'm afraid. I've never heard of B.

So I'm not sure if that's true or false.

Mike, can you shed any light on this?

B would be the one that I'd question.

I think the others are probably true.

Welcome, Danny. What do you think of this board?

I think Sam's done really well there.

I would have given the same answers.

So I think she might've achieved perfection.

They think you might be in with a chance.

Let's find out how many are correct.

GROANS

Just one out of four.

Sam, you haven't achieved perfection so the Usual Suspects have a chance.

Can you steal the round?

You need to change three answers - but which three?

-Was John Waters a member of Pink Floyd?

-I think he was.

-Do you know that, Danny?

-John Waters - Pink Floyd?

Is that one that's correct?

Well, if you two think that one's right...

-I'd go for C.

-Yes.

-I'm happy.

-Wouldn't you?

-Yes.

-Wouldn't you?

-Yep. We'd like to change A to false.

A changes from true to false.

-We'd like to change B to false.

-B changes from true to false.

We'll leave C as it is.

And we'd like to change D to true.

And D changes from false to true, leaving C as answered by Sam.

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

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

Oxford is further north than Cambridge - true or false?

Yeah, it is false. It's the other way round, in actual fact.

Prix Goncourt is an annual French horse race - true or false?

Yeah, it's false.

It is a major prize in French literature.

John Waters was a member of Pink Floyd - true or false?

It's false, Usual Suspects!

ROGER Waters was who you were looking for from Pink Floyd.

Roger Waters. John Waters is a famous film director.

So, it means you failed to achieve perfection,

can you still achieve perfection at home?

Let's have a look at this last statement, shall we?

Margaret Thatcher introduced the council tax - true or false?

Yeah, that's a false.

It was John Major who kicked it off.

So, Usual Suspects, had you achieved perfection,

you would now have the opportunity

to make Sam's chances of winning the prize fund much harder.

Let's look at the final board.

Sam, this is your final board.

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

Here are the final round category boxes.

Because neither side won the round,

the two categories due to be chosen will be carry into the next round,

meaning four categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, time to switch you off,

but we'll see you in Round 2.

Something of a lucky escape there.

Yeah, definitely.

So, you'll have a good chance in the next round to choose four.

So, which two will you be choosing first?

I will be choosing Scrabble.

Erm... Doctor Who, possibly.

And a couple you're really keen to avoid.

Sport. Gary, my other half, will kill me, but, yeah -

Formula One, boxers, geography...

OK.

Not the best board!

Well, that's the key, isn't it? If you can choose your own.

It's not so much getting the best subjects ever,

-as avoiding the ones you DON'T want.

-Definitely.

And you can do that by winning the next round. Ready to press on?

-Yes, definitely.

-OK, let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds starts now.

-True. Never heard of it, but true.

-True.

-Never heard of Peter Hain. True.

-True.

-False, no.

-False.

And with plenty of time to spare...

Civet. Never heard of that.

Would be a bird? Possibly.

-I'll go true.

-True.

And with that, you've answered all statements.

-You looked fairly uncomfortable, to be honest.

-Yeah.

-Definitely.

-It didn't feel like a good round.

-No. Not at all.

-It's tough down here, isn't it?

-It is. At home, you think,

"Yes, I know that one." But, no, when it's under pressure... Yep.

Absolutely right. Never as easy as people think.

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

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

Mike, has she achieved perfection?

She definitely hasn't this time.

D, the civet is an animal.

-Danny, what do you think?

-I'm not too sure on A.

I've heard of the Penny Black,

but whether it was the first postage stamp or adhesive stamp,

I'm not too sure. So I'd question A.

Karen?

C is also wrong. Sean Penn married Madonna.

And... Although the Penny Black was a stamp,

I'm not sure if it was the first adhesive stamp.

Well, the Usual Suspects think it's not a very good round for you.

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

Two out of four.

Not the perfect round, there are somewhere in there two mistakes.

To steal the round, the Usual Suspects will have to find out which ones and change the answers.

Off you go.

-D is definitely wrong.

-Do you know what a civet is?

-Yes, it's an animal.

-I thought it was a furry animal.

-No, it's not an African bird. That's wrong.

-And C is definitely true.

The Penny Black was definitely the first one.

I'm pretty certain Peter Hain served as Welsh Secretary.

There are only two we've got to change, C and D.

Let's just swap them around.

I'm happy with C and D.

-OK. I will go with that.

-OK. We'd like to change C to true.

-C changes from false to true.

-And D, to false.

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

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

Congratulations, Usual Suspects. You have achieved perfection.

APPLAUSE

The civet is in fact a catlike carnivorous mammal,

certainly not a bird.

Sam, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed

and they've stolen the round.

Very good news for you, you have the opportunity to make Sam's chances

of winning the £3,000 a lot harder. Let's have a look at the board.

A barren wasteland at the moment. No subject categories on there

because we carried two categories over from Round 1.

As a result of winning Round 2, you get to choose four categories.

So, which ones would you like?

I would definitely go for Boxers.

-OK, we'll go for Boxers as our first choice.

-Boxers goes into the final.

She is much too young to know Bill & Ben.

We'll go for Bill & Ben as well, please, Nick.

Bill & Ben goes into the final.

I'm not too sure she will have that much knowledge on Formula One.

Shall we go Formula One?

-Yeah.

-Our third choice is Formula One, please.

Formula One makes the final, and one more.

She's quite young, isn't she? The Two Ronnies?

Yeah, I'm happy with Two Ronnies.

And our fourth choice is Two Ronnies, please.

OK, Two Ronnies goes in.

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

It's time to switch you off. We'll see you in Round 3.

Like a laser-guided missile, they've honed in on the ones you don't want

and chosen them for you. Formula One and Boxers.

-Ouch.

-Yeah. Bill & Ben?

It depends how the question goes, doesn't it?

-The Two Ronnies.

-In certain parts.

Look, not so good that time round, but do well in Round 3

-and you get to choose two categories that you want in the final.

-Yeah.

Let's press on and play Round 3.

Your 45 seconds start now.

-Never heard of that. False.

-False.

-False. Never heard of it.

-False.

Gosh, I know this one. Erm...

-True.

-True. And finally...

-False.

-False. And with that, you have time to spare

but you've answered all four statements.

Why should you know that one about Roger Moore?

I know my grandad and nana had it on the telly and I'm thinking...

But your brain freezes so you can't think back.

It's like a memory block.

There's a lot of pressure up here, absolutely. A tough round again?

Yeah. I'm not doing so good.

Let's find out what the Usual Suspects have to say.

So, these are the four statements

and next to them are Sam's answers. Danny, is this perfection?

I'm not too sure, Nick. I would question D.

I'm not sure if he might have lived part of his life in London,

-so that could possibly be true.

-Mike, what do you think?

It's the top two that I would question. I'm not sure.

Karen, can you throw any light on this?

I've never heard of Makemake, so that's the one I would doubt.

OK, Sam, 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.

-Two out of four again. Persistent.

-Yeah.

-But not perfection, I'm afraid.

Once again, the Usual Suspects have a chance to steal the round,

if they can find the two answers they need to change.

I don't think Lenin lived in London

-and Roger Moore is definitely the Saint.

-That's right.

I would change A and B.

Matthew McConaughey's real name being Mahogany sounds unlikely.

C is definitely right, do we know that? Yes.

I'm just thinking Lenin could have lived maybe some part of his...

A few years in London?

-That's the one I'm not sure on.

-We want to change B, don't we?

Are we changing A or D?

I would rather change D than A. I can't imagine A being true.

I'll go with that. OK, Nick, we are ready.

-We would like to change B to true.

-B changes from false to true.

And we would like to change D, to true.

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

Let's find out what the correct answers are.

False. It absolutely isn't. His name is McConaughey.

Yes, it is true. Very well done, Usual Suspects.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved perfection.

Sam, it means the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed

and they've stolen the round.

The Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity to make Sam's chances

of winning the prize fund as hard as they can be.

Let's see the final board.

Four subject categories chosen already by you and because you won

the last round, you get to complete that board with two more choices.

How about Gangsters? Think she'd know anything about gangsters?

-I'd go for Gangsters.

-And what about the next one?

Maybe Rainfall. I can't imagine...

I would go for that - Rainfall and Gangsters.

OK, we'd like our fifth one to be Gangsters.

-Gangsters goes into the final. And?

-And the sixth one to be Rainfall.

And Rainfall completes that list.

We now know our six final categories. They are:

Very well played, Usual Suspects.

Time to switch you off for the final time.

Gangsters?

-Rainfall, that depends on the question, I suppose.

-Definitely.

-They have been quite harsh on that one.

-That's the game, isn't it?

It definitely is.

You were up there setting a harsh board last time round.

Completely.

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

Sam, this is the all-important final.

If you can achieve perfection,

you could be leaving with a prize fund of £3,000.

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

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

for a rollover of £4,000 on the next game. Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Sam, here are your final six categories. They are:

Now, you must answer all six statements correctly

-if you want to win the £3,000.

-Yeah.

-Think carefully.

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

-your first answer, it's locked in.

-Yeah.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

Let's reveal your first statement.

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

-OK.

-Boxers.

Henry Cooper.

I can't say I've heard of Henry Cooper.

But then it does say "briefly world heavyweight champion", so...

-I'm going to go false, please, Nick.

-False.

No idea. Erm...

-I'm going to say true, Bill & Ben lived at 52 Festive Road.

-True.

Doesn't sound familiar, that name.

Would it sound familiar?

-False, please, Nick.

-False.

Erm...

I'm getting them mixed up now, in my head.

I'm picturing them both but I'm mixing them up.

Erm...

-True, please, Nick.

-True.

Never seen The Godfather. Never read it ever. False.

-Not beating around the bush. Don't know that one. No, false.

-False.

Trying to think back to school days, you know, when...

I remember we went on a school trip once to a forest,

talking about rainfall and that.

No, I'm going to go false.

-I think udometer doesn't sound like it would be...

-False.

-Yeah, false.

-And with that, you've answered all six statements.

And those answers are locked in.

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

-Yeah.

-Which ones are you worried about?

-Can I say all of them?

Let's put it the other way round. Which ones are you confident on?

I can't say I'm confident on any of them. I'm trying to think.

You know when you really, really rack your brains

and think, "I've seen Bill & Ben, I've heard of Bill & Ben..."

Ronnie Corbett, Ronnie Barker...

It is very tough and the whole game is about setting you a tough board.

You never know until we go through them. You never know.

OK, well, let's get on.

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

You can now see the final six statements and next to them

are Sam's answers. Your answers are now 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.

-Yeah.

-This will, however, come at a cost.

-Yeah.

Sam, who would you like to hear from first?

I would like to hear from Karen, please.

I think you've got one wrong and there are a couple I'm not sure of.

But I'm just guessing, myself, really.

-I'm not confident enough to join you.

-OK.

Karen has ruled herself out.

-Mike, please.

-How confident are you, Sam?

-I'm quite confident, yeah.

I'm not confident enough to come down.

There are a couple there I'm not sure of. Sorry.

OK. Danny?

I think there are two there that you've got wrong

but I'm not sure on the rest of them.

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

-You wouldn't consider coming down?

-No, sorry.

-It's fine. Thanks, Danny.

Well, negotiations appear to be over.

A tough board, you set there, don't you think, Usual Suspects?

-Definitely.

-They are all worried by the board they set themselves.

Sam, none of the Usual Suspects are willing to help,

so you're on your own. £3,000 at stake. Six answers away.

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

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

-OK then, top or bottom shall we start? Let's start at the top.

-Yeah.

You had a long think and decided it was false. Is it true or false?

Yes, it is false. Good start.

In actual fact, he was never world champion. Let's move on.

You had a long think about this, too, and said true.

We want this to turn green for you. Is it true or false?

-I'm afraid it's false.

-I wasn't sure.

It was Mr Benn that lived at that address.

I still wouldn't have known that.

I'm sorry, it means you can't achieve perfection

and you won't be taking the money home. I wonder whether you can

achieve perfection at home still.

Did you know that? Let's move on and let's see how you've done, too.

You thought this was false. We would like this to turn red for you.

Is it true or false?

Yeah, it is false. He actually won four world championships.

That's good.

You had a think about this.

-You were mixing them up in your head.

-Yeah, I was confusing myself,

-arguing against myself.

-Ronnie Corbett's the little one.

-Yeah.

-You said true. Is that true or false?

No, it's false. It was Ronnie Barker that was older in actual fact. Yeah.

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

Yeah, it is false. He's actually from The Sopranos,

a character from The Sopranos, not from The Godfather at all.

-No, no.

-And finally:

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

Yeah, actually, it's true.

Well, it was a tough board

and in view of the fact you didn't choose any of your own

categories, I'd say getting three out of six right is quite a result.

Usual Suspects, great news for you.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game where one of you could be

playing for a total of £4,000.

APPLAUSE

Sam, it means you failed to achieve perfection

and you go home with nothing.

Other than our thanks, did you enjoy playing the game?

Brilliant. I came with nothing, I've had an amazing experience

and you know what, good luck to the guys.

Good luck with your caravan tours as you go on.

-Let's hear it for Sam, everybody.

-Thank you.

Well, that's all we have time for.

Please join us next time when our Usual Suspects

have the chance to play again, this time for £4,000.

But it's not an easy one to win, this,

and we only pay you for absolute perfection. Goodbye.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
