Episode 2 Perfection

Welcome to the 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 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 is Dave. I'm from Manchester.

I'm a telephone engineer and this is my first game.

Hi, my name's Samantha. I'm from Telford.

I'm a recruitment consultant and this is my second game.

Hi, I'm Shaun. I'm from Greenock in Scotland.

I'm a customer service officer and this is my fourth game.

Hi, I'm Simon. I'm from Stroud in Gloucestershire.

I'm a sales executive and this is my fifth game.

Best of luck as we now find out

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

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

-APPLAUSE

Samantha, welcome to the game.

Let's find out a bit more about you. You've had an interesting life.

-You've spent a long time travelling round the world.

-I have, yes.

-For five-and-a-half years, actually.

-As a rep?

Yeah, holiday rep and then team leader.

Travel still part of your agenda, is it? Trying to get round the world?

Yeah, I get around quite a bit and see different countries.

There's a lot of places I'd like to go to so...

You've got a good chance here depending on how you do.

Samantha, it is now you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your team-mates. They're now very definitely your enemies.

Your failure will mean the prize money rolls over

to the next round, when one of them could be playing for a bigger amount of money.

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000. Here's the good news.

Nobody's won the last eight games,

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

APPLAUSE

Having heard you say about travel,

I presume some of that would go towards that.

Is there anything special that you want to do with that money?

Erm, I'd like to get married next year to my partner

so it would go on that and honeymoon, to be honest. Africa, we're thinking.

Best of luck. I hope you win some money

and I hope it goes towards a fantastic cause like that.

Here's how the game works. You'll play three rounds, then a final.

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

However, if your performance is less than perfect,

the Usual Suspects will have a chance to step in

and steal the round, making the final that much harder for you.

Usual Suspects, I'm going to switch you off for now,

so you can't see or hear anything. Cheerio.

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, it will be locked in. You ready?

-Yep.

Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1. Your 45 seconds start...now.

I've seen that film.

That's definitely true.

True.

Not sure about this one. Erm...

-I'll go false.

-False.

Not sure again.

-Er, true.

-True.

And with plenty of time to spare.

Quite good with perfumes usually. Elon Musk, I've never heard of it.

Erm... I'm going to guess false.

False. And as I say, with plenty of time to spare,

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

It wasn't as bad as expected, to be honest.

So you think you're in with a chance then?

Well, I know I've definitely got one right, so... That always helps!

Before we reveal exactly how well you've done,

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Simon, as you've been there longest, let's start with you.

Has she made any mistakes?

Erm... I think she might have D wrong because I know...

Musk, isn't that some sort of... Some sort of perfume or something?

-Shaun, do you agree?

-The one that I'm wondering about is C.

-Not too sure if it's rugby league or rugby union.

-Interesting.

So, Samantha. The moment of truth.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four's not bad. But unfortunately, it's not Perfection.

Which means that you've let your enemies, the Usual Suspects,

into the game and they could steal the round.

You only need to change one, but which one, chaps?

-What do you think, guys?

-B, I'm not sure of.

-I'm not sure either.

We're going to go B?

Yeah, we'll change B from false to true, please, Nick.

You're changing B from false to true,

leaving A, C and D as answered by Samantha.

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

Sandra Bullock stars in the 2013 film Gravity, true or false?

Yes, it's true. I think you'd have to have been hiding in a hole

not to have known that over the last few months and years.

A Bactrian camel has two humps, true or false? This is a key one.

True, there you go. There's the change they were looking for.

You know where this is going now, Usual Suspects.

Look, they're already starting to look a little smug.

Owen Farrell is an English rugby union player, true or false?

Yes, that's absolutely true.

And Elon Musk is a type of perfume, true or false?

It's false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Elon Musk actually is a person. An entrepreneur in the science field.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity

to make Samantha's chances of winning the prize fund

a little bit harder in the Final, and here's how.

Samantha, this is your final board.

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

Here they are, starting with Rebels,

running through Flight, US Sports,

on to Roy Hodgson.

Now, if you'd have won that round, you'd have the opportunity

of adding two categories of your choice to the board.

But because the pesky Usual Suspects stole the round from you,

they get to choose two categories,

hoping to make the Final harder for you to win.

So, Usual Suspects, which two would you like her to play?

-I think US Sports. I don't think she'll have...

-Yeah, go for that.

US Sports. Chuck that in there, please, Nick.

US Sports goes into the Final.

What about..."Odysus"?

-Odysus, go for that?

-Yeah.

-Odysus, please, Nick.

-ODYSSEUS, yes.

-That's the one.

-There we go.

Well, that goes into the Final too. Well done, Usual Suspects.

You won the first round. We'll see you in Round 2. Cheerio.

And away they go. Odysseus.

I'm guessing by the pronunciation, they haven't chosen it

because they're good at it. Any good?

-I've got no idea.

-Right. Yeah, that's not good then.

-To be honest.

-US Sports?

-My parents are big NFL fans so...maybe.

All right, let's take a look at those options over there.

Which two will you be choosing first?

-Sitcoms and Flags, possibly.

-All right.

And a couple you'd really like to avoid?

Roy Hodgson... Quite a few.

-SHE LAUGHS Renaissance.

-Yeah.

It might not be many of your favourites on there,

but there are a few you really want to avoid and the way to do that

-is to achieve Perfection and choose for yourself.

-Yes.

-OK, you ready for the next round?

-Yep.

-Then let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start...now.

Hmm... I've heard of that before. Erm...

Not sure if it's a soup.

-I'm going to go true.

-True.

Poems aren't my strongest point.

-I'll go false.

-False.

I'll go true.

True. And finally...

Erm... I'm not too sure on this one.

True.

True. I was about to remind you about the time

but didn't need to, because you answered the statement in the end

and now you've answered all four and they're locked in.

Not so confident this round at all.

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

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

These are the four statements and Samantha's answers.

Let's start with Shaun this time.

-What do you think?

-I think D is the one I'm not sure about.

I would think more like, maybe, New York or something.

-Dave, is it Perfection?

-D is wrong.

It's probably New York or Chicago

and I think The Waste Land is a poem by TS Eliot.

Well, it's the moment of truth.

Let's find out how many you got right.

Just one out of the four.

So, to be honest, the Usual Suspects at their worst thought

there were two out of four wrong.

So the question is, can you find the three that you need to change?

-B we'll change from false to true.

-Definitely.

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

-B changes from false to true.

And D we'll change from true to false.

-D changes from true to false.

-Erm, now, a pho?

-I think Nicaragua is in South America.

-Yeah?

Yeah, so therefore A is wrong.

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

A from true to false, leaving C as answered by Samantha.

Let's see what the correct answers are.

A pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup, true or false?

It's true, Usual Suspects.

Also occasionally, or I'm told,

that the Vietnamese actually pronounce it "fuh."

But in this country, it's always referred to as a pho so that is a noodle soup.

Can you still achieve Perfection at home? Let's go through these and find out.

The Waste Land is a poem by TS Eliot. Is that true or false?

That's true. Nicaragua is a country in South America, true or false?

It's false. It's in Central America.

The world's first skyscraper was built in Washington, true or false?

False.

The location of the first skyscraper is disputed, in fact,

but both Chicago and New York lay claim to that honour.

So, let's have a look at the board, shall we? And see where we stand.

Currently, two subject categories chosen by the Usual Suspects.

Now, as neither side won the round,

those two categories that were due to be chosen will be carried over

to the next round, meaning four

categories will be on offer in the next round.

Usual Suspects, I'm going to switch you off. We'll see you in Round 3.

Now, this next round becomes really important with four categories on offer.

It's a cracking one to win.

-So, are you ready to play the next round?

-Definitely.

OK, let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-I'm going to say true.

-True.

I think that's true. I've seen the Die Hard films.

-I think it's true.

-True.

The spelling looks Polish but...

I'm going to say true.

True. And finally...

Never heard of it.

-I'm going to say false.

-False.

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

Forgive me if I'm guessing wrong,

but it seemed like a really strong round except for maybe C.

-Not too sure about a few of them.

-Oh, really?

-Yeah.

Oh, you did confident very well!

I thought you had quite a good round then.

50-50, I'd say, so... fingers crossed.

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

time to bring back those Usual Suspects.

So, these are the four statements

and next to them are Samantha's answers.

Dave, any mistakes?

Unsure about C,

the scientist Nikola Tesla.

Is Tesla bothering you, Shaun?

I'm OK with that one. It's more the last one.

Simon, you look happy, as if you know something.

No, no, I was just going to say, I don't think Alan Rickman

is suited to Die Hard.

He's more of a wizard, isn't he?

Yeah, I think I'd change that to false.

Interesting. The moment of truth.

You need to have answered all statements perfectly

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

Three out of four. It's a good effort.

But it's not quite Perfection

and there's certainly not three wrong, as the Usual Suspects thought.

They have the chance to steal the round,

but you have to work out which one, so...

Best to put your heads together and have a chat, I think.

Alan Rickman's definitely in Die Hard. For sure. That's true.

-I'll leave it up to you two.

-I still think D.

I've just got a funny feeling.

-DAVE:

-Well, I think the Tesla one but as you're the captain,

you make the decision.

-I think I'm going to change D from false to true, please, Nick.

-OK.

So, D changes from false to true,

leaving A, B and C as answered by Samantha.

Let's take a look

and see what the correct answers are.

Grendel is a monster in the epic poem Beowulf, true or false?

That one's true. That's a good start.

Alan Rickman played a villain in Die Hard. Is that true or false?

Dave and Shaun are sure that it's true and they're right.

The scientist Nikola Tesla was born in Poland. True or false?

False! Born in Croatia.

Have a look along to your right there at Dave's face, Simon.

NICK LAUGHS

Vanuatu is an island nation in the Indian Ocean. Is that false or true?

Yeah, that one's false.

Vanuatu is, in fact, an island nation in the Pacific.

Let's have a look at the board, shall we?

We find ourselves at something of an impasse.

Usual Suspects won the first round and so got to choose

the first two categories, but both Round 2 and Round 3,

nobody wants them.

Nobody wants to win. So how are we going to resolve this?

Well, to fill those blank spaces,

you will take it in turns to choose a category. So, Samantha.

As the single player, you get to choose first.

Which category would you like to add?

-Sitcoms, please.

-Sitcoms goes into the final.

We now move over to the Usual Suspects.

-Roy?

-Roy.

-Roy?

-Go on.

Yeah, we'll go Roy. Put Roy in there. Roy Hodgson.

Roy Hodgson goes into the Final. Back to you, Samantha.

Flags.

Flags goes into the Final and over to the chaps for the last category.

-Nuclear Power, maybe?

-Nuclear Power. What do you think?

-Yeah, go on.

-Nuclear Power.

-Yeah, Nuclear Power, please.

Nuclear Power goes into the Final.

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

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

And away they go. Well, could have been worse.

With four categories on offer, they could have done all four.

As it is, they only got to choose two

and the two they chose were Roy Hodgson...

-Know anything about...?

-No. SHE LAUGHS

Nuclear power.

-You never know.

-You never know!

-Depends how the questions fall, doesn't it?

-Exactly.

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

APPLAUSE

Samantha, this is the Final. If you can achieve Perfection,

you could be leaving with a prize fund of £9,000.

-That sounds good.

-It's a lot of money.

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

which is great news for the Usual Suspects

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

on the next game. Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Samantha, here are your final six categories.

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 an answer, your first answer,

-it's locked in. Ready?

-Definitely.

Let's reveal your first statement.

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

US Sports.

Doesn't ring a bell, but...

I've never really followed baseball or... Erm...

I'm going to go true.

True.

Odysseus.

Er... I've got no idea. Erm...

I'm going to go false.

-False.

-Yep.

Sitcoms.

That's true. I think.

-It's true!

-True.

Roy Hodgson.

I think he is. I've got a feeling. Roy Hodgson, Roy Hodgson...

I've got a feeling that he is, that he has been. I'm going to go true.

True.

Flags, the last of the categories you chose for yourself.

-I'm going to say true.

-True.

And Nuclear Power.

I've got an inkling.

That might be right.

I'm going to go true with that one.

-True.

-Yep.

-OK.

Samantha, those answers are now locked in.

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

Which ones are you unsure of?

The only one I'm probably sure of is C, I'd say.

Erm...the rest...

-I'm not 100%.

-Let's bring back the Usual Suspects to see what they've got to say.

Interestingly, you have got a bit of money to play with here.

-It's up to you to decide what to do.

-OK.

So, you can now see the final six statements,

and next to them are Samantha's answers.

Samantha, your answers are now locked in

and you can't change them.

If you think you've made a mistake,

you can unlock the board with help. This will, however, come at a cost.

So, who do you want to hear from first, Samantha?

-Simon.

-I'm 100% sure you've got one wrong.

Erm... And I'd be willing to come down for half the money.

Interesting. There's £9,000 on offer.

He wants £4,500 to come and tell you the one that you've got wrong.

-Shaun. Shaun, please.

-I think you've got one wrong as well.

There is another one that... I'm just not confident with.

-So, for that reason, I'm going to rule myself out.

-OK.

-All right.

And Dave.

You've definitely got one wrong. That's for certain.

But I'm unsure about two others so...

I'm going to have to rule myself out, I'm afraid, Samantha.

So, Dave and Shaun have ruled themselves out.

Simon wants £4,500 of your £9,000 prize. Is he telling the truth?

Is he bluffing? Have you managed a correct board on your own?

All decisions you have to make.

-Come down for half the money, Simon.

-OK.

OK, negotiations have ended.

Simon, for £4,500 of the £9,000 on offer, please come and join us.

APPLAUSE

OK, Samantha, you've asked Simon to help.

If you achieve Perfection,

it will cost you £4,500 of your potential prize fund of £9,000.

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

This is your only shot at winning Perfection.

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

Here are the final round statements.

You need to have a discussion, really.

All six answers are now unlocked, so Simon, which answers

would you like Samantha to change?

Well, I thought A was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

-OK.

-So, that's what I would have changed to false.

And the other one I wasn't sure about was F.

Erm...seems right, but you just never know with these things, so...

-Yeah.

-Not sure...

-So, we're definitely going to change A.

What are we going to do about F?

I am happy to keep it as true because it seems like...

It seems like it would be right.

They'd be ahead in those sorts of things.

-They seem to always be, yeah.

-So...

-I'm happy to keep it, if you are.

-We'll just change A to false.

Yeah, and just hope that they're the baseball team.

We're going to change A to false.

A changes from true to false.

-Leaving all the rest the same?

-Yes.

All right, so all the others remain

as you originally answered, Samantha.

£9,000 at stake,

£4,500 to Samantha, £4,500 to Simon.

Six answers away. Let's find out if you achieved Perfection.

Actually, this might be fun before we get started.

Dave and Shaun, you thought there was at least one wrong.

-Dave, which one did you think?

-Argos seems to ring a bell with Odysseus.

That's interesting. So that's one you'd pick, B. And Shaun?

One I wasn't too sure of was F.

B and F are the ones that were picked out

by the two Usual Suspects there. Let's start at the top.

Let's find out straightaway whether you actually had a winning card

or not, and whether Simon's come down and helped you or hindered you.

We can do that straightaway with the first one. The Tampa Bay Rays are a US baseball team.

Samantha, you said this was true.

Simon thought he'd heard of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

So he came down to tell you to change it to false.

So, we need this to go red for you to get off to a flying start.

Is it true or is it false?

It's true!

I'm not sure whether I should ask you how you feel at the moment, Samantha.

We can all see how Simon's feeling. Can I just tell you,

the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are an American Football team.

The Tampa Bay Rays are a US baseball team.

Now, the question is whether Simon can be rescued here.

Whether he's actually taken you away from a winning card, or

whether him changing that doesn't make any difference.

I can tell you, at this stage, he's hoping there's a lot more wrong.

Well, let's hop over B,

because that's the one Dave thought was wrong

so we'll come back to that and go on to C.

Brendan O'Carroll stars in Mrs Brown's Boys.

Now, this is the one you said was

-the only one you were absolutely certain of.

-I hope so, yeah!

So you said true and we need this to turn green. Is it true or false?

It is true.

Roy Hodgson is a former manager of Liverpool FC.

You said this was true. We need this to turn green. Is it true?

It is true. The flag of Malta features a George Cross medal.

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

It's true.

So far, if you'd had been on your own,

you'd have had four out of six correct.

F was the one that Shaun thought might need changing

and B is the one Dave thought might need changing.

Right, well.

Odysseus' dog was called Argos.

Dave thought that this might actually have been true.

Is that true or false?

Actually true.

SHE LAUGHS Saved you there, Simon!

Have you ever seen a contestant more happy to be wrong?

So, the world's first nuclear power plant was in Russia.

Is that true or false?

It's false.

The world's first nuclear power plant was, in fact, in the USA.

Wasn't in Russia at all.

What an interesting game, in all kinds of ways, but none of them,

unfortunately, interesting in terms of taking cash away.

You feeling a little bit better

-about the fact that there were a couple of others?

-Yeah.

Simon, how pleased are you that there were other mistakes?

Weight just off my shoulders.

Listen, 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 now of £10,000.

APPLAUSE

You guys failed to achieve Perfection

but you certainly provided us with a really interesting game.

-I hope you enjoyed playing.

-Yeah, it was great.

Let's hear it for them, Samantha and Simon.

APPLAUSE

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

hoping to play Perfection today.

Usual Suspects, please introduce yourselves.

Hi, my name's Anita.

I'm from Thornton Heath and I'm a retired therapist.

Hello, I'm Kate.

I'm from Nottingham and I run a pet-sitting agency.

Welcome to Anita and Kate and best of luck to all of you

as we now find out which one of you has been randomly picked

to play Perfection.

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

APPLAUSE

-Dave, welcome to the game.

-Thank you.

Let's find out a bit more about you.

You're a very big sporty person, aren't you?

-How many marathons?

-I've done nine marathons.

-Half marathons?

-About 40.

-But...

-Are your knees not knackered?

-Well, that's the point.

I've had to stop.

Sorry, have I hit upon...?

-So, you enjoy your sport.

-I do, and watching it and everything else.

OK, so that might be a strong point for you.

All right, Dave, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your team-mates but they are now your enemies.

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

The prize fund currently stands at at a whopping £10,000.

APPLAUSE

Let's cast our minds forward about 20 minutes, shall we,

and decide that you're walking out of here with £10,000.

What are you going to spend it on?

Well, that's an easy one. I'm going to split it three ways.

My wife wants to buy a sewing machine.

She's very into arts and crafts.

And my two daughters.

I think they need the money more than me.

One of them's expecting her first child

and the other one has got a child of three, shortly.

Not much of the money's coming your way!

I don't think any of it's coming my way. None at all.

-That's no great surprise.

-I'm not too bothered about that.

Best of luck. Three rounds and a final.

Usual Suspects, we're switching you off so you can't see or hear anything.

As soon as Dave makes a mistake, you will be back in the game. Cheerio.

-Away they go. Are you ready?

-I am ready, yes.

-All right, big deep breath.

-Let's go for it.

-Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1. Your 45 seconds start...now.

False. I think she was the second or third.

-Definitely not. That's false.

-False.

-That's true.

-True.

-False.

-False. And with plenty of time to spare...

-I'll say true.

-True.

And with that, you've answered all four statements

and they're locked in.

How did you feel about that round? Good one, bad one?

Er, I'm not sure about C and D, to be honest.

I've not seen The Wolf Of Wall Street and, erm...

Dr Barnardo's, I thought was this country but, um... I'm not sure.

Before we reveal exactly 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 Dave's answers.

Let's start with you, Shaun.

Has he achieved Perfection?

I think he's done well.

The only one I'm not quite sure of is D,

and that's simply because I've not seen the film yet.

Kate, can you find anything wrong with these answers?

Well, Vanessa Mae is actually a violin player,

so I'm going to say she definitely didn't compete at the 2014 Winter Olympics.

-So that's definitely wrong.

-Interesting.

Thank you very much. Dave, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly.

Let's see how many are correct.

Congratulations, Dave. You have achieved Perfection.

Thank you. APPLAUSE

-That's a cracking start.

-Yes.

-Must be pleased with that.

-Of course.

Shall we have a little dance through them

and you can sit there, smugly enjoying all your correct answers?

Anne Boleyn was Henry VIII's first wife.

You said maybe second or third,

so you said false and we know it is...

false. Second wife, in actual fact. Very good.

Vanessa Mae competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics. You said true.

Of course, Kate is right that she is a violinist, but it is true.

-Alpine skiing.

-Yes.

-The first of the Dr Barnardo's homes was in Milan.

You said you thought it was in the UK.

And so you said false, and of course it is false.

Stepney, in London, was the first one.

Finally, Joanna Lumley appears in The Wolf Of Wall Street.

You had a guess at that

and said it was true,

and it turns out...

true. So very well done.

Appearing before you is your final board.

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

Here are your final category options, starting with Steaks,

and then moving on through Snooker, Literature

and on to Horse Racing with many more in between.

Because you won the round,

you have the right to choose two categories to add to the board.

Which two do you fancy playing in the final?

-Er, Horse Racing.

-Horse Racing goes in.

-Sea Battles.

-And Sea Battles goes in.

Well, Usual Suspects, you didn't really get a look in there, did you?

Maybe in Round 2 you'll have a chance.

That's when we'll see you next.

I'm going to switch you off. Cheerio.

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

So, which will be the next two you'll choose?

Snooker.

And...either Capital Cities or Literature.

-And which two are you quite keen to avoid?

-Birds.

Possibly Steaks, that could be anything.

Yeah, well, the way to avoid those is to continue exactly as you started,

with Perfection. So, shall we press on? Are you ready?

-Absolutely, yes.

-Then let's get straight onto Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-False.

-False.

And with plenty of time to spare...

-True.

-True.

You only used half your time there. That was such a confident round.

Not 100% sure on all of those, but... That was my gut feeling on them all.

-A tougher round?

-Yeah, a tough round.

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

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

Kate, any mistakes there?

I think he's got D wrong. I think...

I've been to Jordan and I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a border with Iraq.

-Interesting. Anita?

-I'm not sure that London is the oldest zoo.

I've got a good feeling it's in Europe.

-Shaun?

-The one that's troubling me is A. I don't think it's a cat.

I don't know what it is, but I don't think it's a cat.

Between them, they think you might have three wrong.

-Sounds bad.

-Dave, the moment of truth.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Just one out of four.

Well, that's certainly not Perfection and, as a result,

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

Can you steal the round?

You need to change three answers, but which three?

What are we thinking?

I think if each of us thought a different one was wrong then

-we should probably change the three that we thought.

-OK with that?

-ANITA:

-Yeah.

-OK, we'd like to change A, please, Nick.

-A changes from true to false.

-True to false, yeah.

-Next one is B, from true to false.

-B from true to false.

-And also D from true to false, please.

-And D from true to false.

Leaving C as answered by Dave.

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

A Kerry Blue is a type of cat. This one falls to you, Shaun.

Is it true or false?

It is false. In actual fact, it's a breed of terrier dog.

So, well done, Shaun. The world's oldest zoo is in London.

This was yours, Anita, I think. True or false?

False.

Vienna is the oldest. You said it was somewhere in Europe, didn't you?

Mrs Dalloway is a book by Virginia Woolf. Is that true or false?

That's true. So, Usual Suspects, you have failed to achieve Perfection.

I wonder whether you can still achieve Perfection at home.

Let's have a look at the last one. Iraq has a border with Jordan.

This is not looking for you here, Kate, to be honest.

-NICK LAUGHS

-A little embarrassing!

True or false?

Yeah, it's true. That was the one you were looking for.

Let's have a look at the board, shall we?

Well, currently two subject categories on there

chosen by yourself, Dave.

But because no-one won the round,

the two categories that were due to be chosen

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

I wonder whether you'll get a look in next time round

as you spurned that chance, Usual Suspects.

We'll see you in Round 3, cheerio.

-Away they go. Well, this would be a great one to win.

-Absolutely, yeah.

-Ready to go?

-Yeah, let's go.

-Let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-False.

-False.

-True?

-True.

-False.

-False.

And finally...

-False.

-False, and with time to spare, you've answered all four.

-How was that?

-Er... Quite tough, really.

A couple of guesses there, without a shadow of a doubt.

Before we reveal exactly how well you've done,

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Kate, can you see any mistakes?

I think that it's possible that

a daikon is a type of root vegetable

but I'm not entirely sure.

Do you know your root vegetables, Shaun?

-Not really, no.

-THEY LAUGH

The one I'm not too sure about is B.

I don't think Halcyon was a Lily Allen album.

Dave, the moment of truth.

You need to have answered all four statements perfectly.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Just two out of four, therefore not Perfection

and once again, the Usual Suspects

have a chance to steal.

So, which two would you like to change?

I would definitely change B because

I honestly think that that's wrong.

OK. I don't know Lily Allen

but I'll take your word on that.

You said the daikon...

Yes. All right, let's change

A and B then, shall we?

We'd like to change A, Nick, from false to true, please.

A from false to true.

And also B from true to false.

And B from true to false,

leaving C and D as answered by Dave.

OK, Usual Suspects, let's find out

what the correct answers are.

A daikon is a type of root vegetable.

Look at Kate's face. Slightly nervous now.

We'll find out, shall we? Is that true or false?

It's true!

Well done, Kate! It's a type of radish. Er...

Halcyon is a 2012 album by Lily Allen. This one's down to Shaun.

True or false?

-False, yes.

-Well done.

-Ellie Goulding, in actual fact.

So, you know where this is going now.

You changed two and they appear to be correct

so you can start to look a little bit smug now.

Louisiana is the most southerly of the United States. True or false?

That's false. You said false very quickly on that, Dave.

-What do you think it is?

-Hawaii.

-Hawaii? Absolutely right.

And June takes its name from the Latin meaning 'to open.'

True or false?

It's false.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

-you have achieved Perfection.

-APPLAUSE

April, in fact, is the month

that takes its name from the Latin word meaning 'to open.'

Let's have a look at the final categories. There they are.

Two chosen by yourself,

but by losing that round,

I'm afraid you've put the power in their hands.

You've got four subject categories to choose for Dave in the Final.

Which ones do you want?

Do you all want to pick one each and we'll decide on another?

Composers.

OK, Composers goes across from Anita.

I'm going to go for Birds.

Birds goes into the Final.

-Shaun?

-I'm going to go for Primates, please.

-Primates.

And we need just one more from you

-to complete the list.

-Literature?

Or Paintings, one of those two?

I would prefer to go for Paintings but it's up to yourselves.

No, you're the captain, go with you.

We'll go for Paintings, please.

Paintings also goes into the Final.

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

Well done, Usual Suspects.

It worked out in the end and you've set him a tough board.

We'll switch you off for the last time now. Bye.

-Well, what do you make of those, then?

-Primates...

-And Birds was one you didn't want.

-And Birds as well.

-There's no going back now. It is what it is.

-That's it.

-That's the board you've been set.

-Absolutely.

Dave, for £10,000, it's time to play the Final.

APPLAUSE

Dave, this is the Final. If you can achieve Perfection,

you could be leaving with a prize fund of £10,000.

If you fail, you'll leave with nothing

which would be great news for the Usual Suspects

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £11,000

on the next game. Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Dave, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly

to win the £10,000. 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 am ready.

Then let's reveal your first statement.

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

Horse Racing.

Belmont Park's definitely a race track. I'm trying to think...

-I'm going to say true.

-True.

-Yep.

Sea Battles.

No, that's false. World War I.

False.

Composers.

Never heard of it.

-So on that basis, I'll have to say false.

-False.

Birds.

-No, I think that's false.

-False.

Primates.

Mandrill? What's a mandrill?

-I'm going to say true.

-True.

And finally, Paintings.

Never heard of it.

Erm...

Could be, could be.

I'll say false. I really have not

got the slightest idea on that.

I'll guess at false.

-False.

-Yep.

-And with that,

you've completed your list,

those answers are locked in. Which ones are you worried about?

-Definitely the last one.

-Kind of get that, yeah.

Possibly C...

Maybe E. Couple of guesses, there.

C, E and F are the ones that are troubling you?

Erm...yeah, I would say that, yeah.

Not my subjects at all.

If there is a single mistake, you leave with nothing.

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 Dave's answers.

Dave, your answers are now locked in.

You can't change them, but if you think you've made a mistake,

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

This will, however, come at a cost.

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

-Anita, please.

Well, Dave, there's two I think you've got wrong,

but unfortunately there's two I don't actually know,

so I couldn't really help you at all.

-Definitely ruling yourself out?

-I am, sorry.

-Kate, please.

Well, Dave, I think there's one that you've definitely got wrong,

and the rest I'm really not sure about.

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

OK. And Shaun.

It's a hard board you've got, Dave. And to be honest with you,

there's quite a few I just do not know the answer.

So I'm not going to take the risk. I'm ruling myself out as well.

OK. Negotiations are over, I'm afraid.

None of them are prepared to come and join you,

but by the same token, you may well have achieved it all on your own.

-£10,000 at stake.

-Yep.

Let's find out if you have achieved Perfection.

Before we start, it's always quite good fun to find out

and maybe have some fun at the expense of the Usual Suspects, obviously.

So, Anita, you thought there were definitely two.

What are the two that you thought?

-I thought that A and B were wrong.

-Kate?

-I think that maybe D's wrong?

-Shaun?

-To be honest with you, Nick, I have not got a clue about any...

-NICK LAUGHS

A seems to be a dodgy one, so maybe we'll come back to that

and see whether that makes a big difference.

Let's start with B, then.

The Battle of Jutland was fought during World War II.

You said that you thought this was World War I.

-Definitely, World War I.

-Definitely, not even thought. This is definite!

So you said false, so we're expecting this to turn red to get you off to a flying start.

Is it true or false?

Yes, it is false. Very good.

World War I, absolutely right.

Carmina Burana is an opera by Bizet.

It sounds like it's been made up.

-It sounds made up?

-It does. NICK LAUGHS

Sounds like a curry of some kind perhaps. So, you said false.

Is it true or false?

Well done, it is false in actual fact,

but it's not because it's a curry. It's because it's by Carl Orff.

So, that's two out of two, very well done.

The bald eagle is the world's largest bird of prey.

You said this was false.

If you're right, you're halfway to the money all on your own

without and help from the Usual Suspects.

Is it true or false?

False. Very well done, three out of three. And idea what other birds?

-I think it's one that's in South America. I can picture it.

-Very good!

-The Andean condor, for example.

-Yeah.

I couldn't quite recall it, but, yeah.

All right, well, let's have a look, shall we?

Halfway to the money, all on your own.

A mandrill is a type of primate. You went with true this time.

True or false?

-True.

-APPLAUSE

Well. Let's go back to the top, then, at this stage.

The Kentucky Derby is raced at Belmont Park.

Now, you picked this as a subject of your own.

I like racing.

I would've thought I'd have been able to answer any question on racing,

but not American racing. So I'm not 100% sure on this.

If you get this right,

you're one away from a full board all on your own.

You said true. Is it true or false?

-It's false!

-Unbelievable.

It's false...

-Churchill Downs.

-Churchill Downs, yeah.

That means that you will not achieve Perfection and you won't be leaving with any cash.

Can you still achieve Perfection at home? Let's deal with that last one, shall we?

Bathers At Asnieres is a famous painting by Seurat.

-We'd quite like this to be wrong now.

-Yeah, please.

Is it true or false?

-Yeah.

-It's true. Congratulations.

-I am glad about that.

I really am glad about that. NICK LAUGHS

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 - get this - £11,000.

APPLAUSE

Dave, you failed to achieve Perfection,

-but at least it wasn't just the racing.

-No.

It does mean you go home with nothing,

-but you have been fantastic. You enjoyed yourself?

-Very much so. It's been great fun.

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

-APPLAUSE

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 £11,000.

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