Episode 4 Perfection

Welcome to the show that demands perfection.

Behind this screen, the four contestants who'll be hoping

their knowledge is flawless, because one single mistake

could give the game away.

This is Perfection.

Hello and welcome to Perfection,

the quiz show where are 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 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 is true or false?

Well, if you had 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, I'm Pat. I'm from Milton Keynes.

I am a manager for a distribution company. And this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Ann from Doncaster.

I am a safety officer in the NHS and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Nick. I'm from York. I'm a bartender.

And this is my second game.

Hi, I'm Anita, from Thornton Heath.

I am a retired psychotherapist and this is my fourth game.

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

randomly picked to play Perfection.

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

-Nick, welcome to the game.

-Thank you very much.

It is now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

They may look benign, but trust me,

they'll try to make things difficult for you.

Their job - stop you winning the prize fund,

because your failure will mean the money rolls over to the next game,

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

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

The great news for you is that nobody has won for the last...

12 games? So currently, the prize fund stands at £13,000.

APPLAUSE

-What would you spend the money on?

-Maybe a trip to Vegas.

All right, best of luck. Here's how the game works -

three rounds, then a final.

Every perfect round 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 much harder for you.

More on that later.

Usual Suspects, we'll switch you off for now

so you can't see or hear anything.

Cheerio. And away they go.

Each round consists of four true or false statements.

You're answering against the clock. You only have 45 seconds.

Once you've given an answer, your first answer, it will be locked in.

-Ready?

-Yeah, brilliant.

-Then let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1, your 45 second starts now.

I can't say I've seen that film. Um...

I think he was in Towering Inferno.

-I think he was a fire chief. So I'm going to say false.

-False.

Um... Oh.

Sea urchins...

Need to keep an eye on the time.

-Yeah, I'm going to say false for that.

-False.

-No, it's ice hockey, false.

-False. And finally...

Um...

I could... Eh...

-Um... True.

-True.

Yeah, a bit of time thinking about Robert Redford.

-Put the pressure on for the rest of the round.

-Yeah.

-How are you feeling about that in the end?

-C is definitely right.

I know the M62 is Manchester way.

-The other two, to be honest, they are guesses, A and B.

-All right.

Before we reveal how well you've done,

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, these are the four statements. Next to them, Nick's answers.

Anita, start us off, has he made any mistakes at all?

I'm not 100% sure, but maybe see urchins do have teeth?

-Interesting. Ann?

-I think sea urchins do have teeth.

And I think A might be different, too, yeah.

All right, thank you very much. Pat?

The only one I am unsure about is B,

but I think he might have got Perfection, to be honest.

The moment of truth. You need to have answered all four statements

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

Three out of four is not bad.

But it isn't Perfection. They get a chance to steal the round.

Can you find the one answer that you need to change?

We all seemed to think B, didn't we?

-OK, shall we go with that, then?

-Yeah.

OK, Nick, we'd like to change B from false to true.

B changes from false to true,

leaving A, C and D as answered by Nick.

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

Robert Redford plays a fire chief in All Is Lost. Is that true or false?

That is, in fact, false.

He plays a stranded yachtsman, in actual fact.

Sea urchins have teeth. This is the key one, isn't it?

Is that true or false?

Yes, it is true, very well played, Usual Suspects.

You know where this is going now, don't you?

The national sport of Canada is badminton, true or false?

Yeah, that is false, it is ice hockey. And lacrosse, interestingly.

Liverpool lies at one end of the M62 motorway, true or false?

It's true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Well, I'm afraid, Nick, they have succeeded where you failed

and they stole the round. Usual Suspects, you now have

the opportunity to make Nick's chances of winning the prize fund

a little bit harder. Nick, 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...

If you'd won the round, you'd have the opportunity

of adding two categories to the board.

But because the Usual Suspects won 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 Nick to play in the Final?

Rossini, Lindbergh?

-OK.

-They'd be the ones I'd look for, yeah.

-Rossini.

-OK, Rossini goes into the Final. And?

-Lindbergh.

And Lindenberg.

Well done. It is time to switch you off.

We'll see you in Round 2.

Now they've gone, what do you make of these?

I have no idea what either of those questions will be.

At of all of the ones there, they picked the two I didn't want.

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Pick two that if you get Perfection, you'll be choosing.

-Niki Lauda.

And I like a bit of comedy as well,

so TV Comedy I'd put there as well.

All right. And the two that you are quite keen to avoid now?

Collectors probably wouldn't be great for me. And...

Maybe Michael Ball as well?

-All right.

-Wouldn't be great.

-It is only the first round.

You have two more rounds to find Perfection and choose

your own categories. Shall we play on?

-Let's do it.

-Let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

I have no idea, but that sounds so crazy I'm going to say true.

True.

I know nothing about poetry.

This is a guess, I will say...

-Yeah, I'll go true again.

-True.

Yes, I've actually heard that. I think he plays with his two sons.

So, yeah, I'll go true.

True. And finally...

I don't think an albatross is the world's largest bird,

-so I'll say false.

-False. Very well done.

-I couldn't quite get it out there.

-You had seen the time ticking away.

I could see you getting tongue-tied. I was like...

Would you actually get to a decision? You did, so that's fine.

How was that as a round, better?

Not really. I think C is right, but the other three are total guesses.

Before we reveal how well you've done,

time to bring back those Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these are the four statements.

And next to them, are Nick's answers.

Pat, start us off this time.

I think he has done very well

-and I think he may have achieved Perfection.

-Interesting.

-Ann, do you agree?

-I think he has possibly got one wrong.

-Which one?

-I think D.

-Anita?

I'm not sure about Shelley dying in a bar room brawl.

-You think he died some other way?

-Yeah, more naturally.

-LAUGHING:

-More naturally!

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

Three out of four. It's good, but it's not good enough, I'm afraid.

You've let the Usual Suspects into the game.

Can you steal this round? You did it in Round 1, can you do it again?

-Well, I wasn't sure about...

-What do you think is the largest bird?

I just... Maybe.

So we'll go with your answer for B, then?

-If you are OK with that.

-Yeah, I'm fine with that.

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

B changes from true to false, leaving A, C

and D as answered by Nick.

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

Typically, Cornish Yarg cheese is wrapped in nettles.

Is that true or false?

True.

The poet Percy Bysshe Shelley died in a bar room brawl.

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

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

-He died a lot more naturally - he drowned.

-Oh, OK.

David Beckham likes to play with LEGO, true or false?

True.

And the gossamer albatross is the world's largest bird, true or false?

It's false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects,

you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

The Gossamer Albatross is a plane that flew the English channel

in 1979.

Let's see the final board.

Two subject categories on there, chosen by the Usual Suspects.

And because you won that round, you get to choose the next two as well.

-Michael Ball, do you think?

-Michael Ball.

-Periodic Table maybe?

-I'd be happy with those.

-I'd be happy with that.

-We'll take Periodic Table.

-Periodic Table goes into the Final.

-And Michael Ball.

-And Michael Ball.

Well done, Usual Suspects. Time to switch you off.

We'll see you in Round 3.

So, yeah, that's kind of disappointing, isn't it?

They picked three of the four that you wouldn't have wanted.

-I'm too easy to read, apparently.

-Yeah.

-Periodic Table, how are you on that?

-I don't mind a bit of science.

-It depends on the question in the end.

-Are you ready to play on?

-Yeah.

Then let's play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 second start now.

I've never heard that. I suppose a bit of erosion, maybe.

Um... Yeah, I'll say true.

True.

-It doesn't sound like a Beethoven opera, that, I'll say false.

-False.

I think I've seen them in Australia. I think that's true.

True. And finally...

I've drunk Advocaat and I am pretty certain it was yellow.

-So, yeah, I'll say true.

-True. And with time to spare, usually for you.

LAUGHTER

You answered all four. That sounded like a better round.

A few guesses, but educated guesses.

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

So, Usual Suspects, these are the four statements.

And next of them, are Nick's answers. What do you think, Pat?

-I think he may well have achieved Perfection.

-Ann?

I agree with Pat, I think there is Perfection there.

Anita, can you find any mistakes?

Well, I had a little question whether it was as much as a

metre that it shrinks, but I think I'm going to go with Perfection.

Interesting. The moment of truth, Nick.

You need to have answered all statements perfectly to have won.

This would be a good one to win. Let's find out how many are correct.

-Consistent.

-Yeah.

But consistently just short of the mark, which is a frustrating

because it means you have let your opponents,

the Usual Suspects, into the game again.

Once again, you need to change one answer,

but which one, Usual Suspects?

-I would say A, then.

-Yeah, I would go with that.

-I'm happy with that.

We'd like to change A from true to false.

A changes from true to false, leaving B, C

and D as answered by Nick.

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

Mount Everest shrinks by about one metre every year, true or false?

That's false. That's the one you are looking for.

Very well played, Usual Suspects.

It doesn't shrink at all.

Mount Everest actually grows by up to 2.5 inches a year.

Billy Budd is an opera by Beethoven, true or false?

Yeah, it's false, it's by Benjamin Britten in actual fact.

The fruit bat is also known as a flying fox, true or false?

Yep, absolutely true.

And you are quite right, you would have seen them down in Australia.

Advocaat liqueur is yellow in colour, true or false?

Absolutely true.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Usual Suspects, you have succeeded where Nick failed

and you've stolen the round. Let's see the final board.

You chose the first four categories.

And with that last win, you get a clean sweep.

What two final categories would you like to put in?

-Transplants?

-And Arctic Circle, perhaps?

-OK, yeah. Arctic Circle.

-Shall we go with that? Transplants?

-And Arctic Circle.

Thank you very much. Let's put them both across, into the Final.

So, we now know our six final categories. They are...

Very well played, Usual Suspects.

Now time to switch you off for the final time.

-How do you feel about that last two?

-Not too well.

I've done a bit of travelling in my time,

been a bit round Canada, that's in the Arctic circle.

Transplants...

-It depends on the questions.

-Got to be in with a chance?

-Yep.

For £13,000, Nick, it is time to play the Final.

Nick, this is the all-important Final.

If you achieve Perfection,

you could be leaving with a prize fund of £13,000.

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 £14,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six correctly if you want to win the £13,000.

Think carefully, there is no time limit.

But once you've given an answer, your first answer, it's locked in.

-Ready?

-Yep.

-Then let's reveal your first statement.

The thing is, Rossini sounds more of an Italian name or a Spanish name.

It just sounds a very English title.

-My first thought was false, so I'm going to go false.

-False.

Somewhere, in the back of my mind, the first Atlantic flight did

end in Paris.

-Yeah, I'll say true.

-True.

Now I'm going through the periodic table, see what I know. Um...

The only ones I can think of - Au, but that's gold, and Ag.

Cos usually the letter often reflects the element.

And Ag is silver.

-Yeah, I'll go true. I'll go true.

-True.

A part of me hopes this is right, cos that would be brilliant.

I can't see Michael Ball being a yo-yo champion.

They say he is so stupid, it could be true.

-My first inkling was false, so I'll go with false.

-False.

Never ever heard of bones... I've heard of bone marrow.

No, I don't believe that. I'm going to go false for that.

False.

I don't think Anchorage is a big city.

Because if you think of Russia...

Does Russia go into the Arctic Circle?

-My first inkling was false, so I'm going to go with false.

-False.

And with that, you have answered all six statements.

If there is one mistake, you leave with nothing.

How do you feel about that board?

There is not one in there that I know is 100% true.

But you never know, in the end, it is a 50-50 guess on the questions.

Best of luck. Let's bring back the Usual Suspects and see what

they have to say.

You can now see the final six statements. And next to them,

are Nick's answers. Nick, your answers are locked in,

you can't change them by the yourself.

If you think you made a mistake, you can unlock the board

with the help of the Usual Suspects.

This will, however, come at a cost.

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

We'll go with Anita first, please.

I think you've done pretty well, Nick,

but there is one I think you've got wrong and there's another one

that I'm not sure about, so I don't think I could help.

-Thank you very much. So Anita is ruling herself out.

-Ann, please?

Well, I think there is one definitely wrong

and there is two I'm not quite sure about.

I don't think I would like to come down.

OK, not for any amount? There's £13,000 on offer here.

I'm not spending your money, but for example,

if you were offered 12,000 of 13,000, would you reconsider?

I might reconsider. Can I just here what Pat has got to say?

Interesting. So not ruling herself out completely, it is

just a matter of how much cash.

-Pat, please.

-I mean, it is a tough board.

-It is a tough board, yeah.

And I'm not sure on enough,

so I would say I'm going to rule myself out.

No matter how much money is offered, you are ruling yourself out?

-Yeah, I'm not sure enough, so...

-So that's Pat out and Anita out,

but Ann is still not ruled out definitely.

I am not 100%, so I'm going to say no.

It sounds like no-one wants to come down and help. By the same token,

you might have got the board right all on your own.

There is £13,000 at stake, six answers away, let's find out

if you achieved Perfection.

-Immediately, you look uncomfortable, what is going on?

-C.

The minute I said true, aluminium popped into my head,

and that is definitely an element, so, yeah, I got that wrong.

Let's deal with that.

You think you've actually missed out on this one.

You said true, but now you think that's wrong

cos you think aluminium.

-Yeah, aluminium.

-So is it true or false?

Yeah, absolutely right.

-Aluminium.

-Aluminium, yeah.

-But there is also another one. Actinium.

-Actinium.

-I wonder if the viewers achieved Perfection at home.

What might be interesting

is to find out - did you know that, guys?

I was thinking aluminium. I knew there was another one before it.

Ann, you almost came down,

were there other ones you were worried about?

I wasn't sure about E. And possibly F as well I thought was wrong.

All right, let's find out, then, shall we? E.

You said this was false, you hadn't heard of it. Is it true or false?

True. Yeah, that's interesting.

Shall we check the other one you would have changed? F.

You said false on this one, is it true or false?

No, it's false. It's actually not in the Arctic Circle.

-Oh, is it not?

-Interestingly enough.

Murmansk is the largest city in the Arctic Circle.

So, Ann, just as well you didn't come down.

Let's go back up to the top, shall we?

You said this was false.

True or false?

True.

You thought this might be true.

True or false? True, very well done. Three wrong, two right.

Let's try and even this up.

Part of me hopes it's true, it would be brilliant.

True or false?

Yeah, it is false, it's not true at all. So there you go.

In the end, three right, three wrong, which given that you

didn't choose a single category for your own final, isn't bad at all.

Usual Suspects, great news for you - the prize fund rolls over to

a whopping great £14,000 in the next game.

APPLAUSE

Nick, I'm afraid you failed to achieve Perfection,

but very entertaining. I hope you enjoyed yourself.

-I did, it was great. Thank you very much.

-Nice to meet you.

Let's hear it, please, for Nick, everybody.

APPLAUSE

It's time now to meet the next Usual Suspect,

hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hello, I'm Louise, I'm from Tarporley, Cheshire,

-and I'm a housewife.

-Welcome, Louise.

Good luck to all of you, as we now find out which

one of you has been randomly selected to play Perfection.

Anita, it's you!

Please come down and join me.

-Anita, welcome to the game. You look shocked to be chosen.

-I was.

-It is always a possibility when you're up there.

-Yeah.

I did come for that reason.

Yeah. Interesting, retired psychotherapist.

-Yeah.

-Are you quite a good judge of character?

-Usually, yes.

What do you make of those?

Who is going to try and tuck you up the worst?

-I think they all well, given the chance.

-Very astute, actually, yeah.

Anita, it is now you versus the Usual Suspects.

They were your teammates, they're now your enemies.

Here is the good news, nobody has won the last 13 games

and the prize fund currently stands at £14,000.

APPLAUSE

That is a lot of money, but reading your CV, I guess quite

-a bit of money will go in travel, won't it?

-Exactly.

-You have a far-flung family now.

-I have.

I've got a son in Australia and a daughter in America.

-I need that much.

-Yes, it is certainly a good start

-if you could walk out of here with £14,000.

-Exactly.

Best of luck. Three rounds and a final to come. Usual Suspects,

we switch you off for now, you can't hear or see anything.

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

-You ready?

-I am. Let's play Perfection.

APPLAUSE

Round 1. Your 45 seconds start now.

-False.

-False.

I know nothing about football.

-He has got a nice name, I'll say yes. True.

-True.

-True.

-True. And finally...

No, I don't think so, he started acting very young. I'll say false.

False. And with time to spare,

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

You sounded confident, apart from football.

-I always do, it doesn't mean anything.

-Is that right?

-Is that a trick for people in psychology?

-Exactly.

-Sound confident.

-All right, before we reveal how well you've done, it is

time for us to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, these were the four statements.

And next to them, are Anita's answer.

Pat, what do you think?

B is definitely wrong. He signed for Manchester United.

-Louise?

-I agree with Pat, definitely he is a Man United player.

Interesting. OK. The moment of truth, you need to have answered

all four perfectly to have won the round.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Just two out of four, certainly not Perfection.

And you have let your enemies, the Usual Suspects, into the game.

Usual Suspects, you need to change two, but which two?

I'm not sure about Cary Grant being a professional boxer.

I'd say that is probably the one I would change.

-Would you agree with that, Pat?

-B definitely needs to change.

-So I'd be happy with D changing as well.

-OK. Thanks, Nick.

-We'll change B from true to false.

-B, from true to false.

And we will change D from false to true.

-Happy?

-BOTH: Yes.

And D from false to true,

leaving A and C as answered by Anita.

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

National food rationing first occurred during World War I,

is that true or false?

It is true!

Usual Suspects!

You had the chance to steal the round from Anita,

but you failed to achieve Perfection.

I wonder if you can still achieve Perfection at home.

Let's go through the rest of those.

The footballer Juan Mata signed for Liverpool in 2014, true or false?

Yeah, false.

He did in fact sign for Manchester United, as you said.

Las Vegas is often nicknamed Sin City, true or false?

Yeah, that's true.

And Cary Grant was once a professional boxer, true or false?

Yeah, it is false.

He was a juggler and an acrobat before becoming an actor.

Anita, this is your final board appearing before you.

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

Here are your final round category options.

Now, because neither side won the rounds,

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 there.

I wonder whether you will get a look in in Round 2, that is

when we will see you next. Cheerio.

Right, as they've gone, we can have a little chat about that board.

-Which two are you quite keen to avoid?

-Millwall.

-Right.

-And probably Rod Stewart.

-OK.

And the first two you'll be choosing

when you achieve Perfection?

-Milne and Dickens, because I've read bits of both.

-All right.

Remember, Anita, in order to win the prize fund,

you'll need to answer all six correctly.

Winning the next round, when there are four categories on offer,

could be crucial.

-Right.

-Ready to carry on?

-Yes.

-Let's play Round 2.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-False.

-False.

-No, that's false.

-False.

La Scala is an opera house, but I don't think it is in Venice.

-I could be wrong there, but I'm going to say false.

-False. And finally...

-I've never heard of it. I'm going to say false again.

-False.

Good use of the time to have a little think about it there,

-cos you had a bit of time to spare.

-I'm not sure about La Scala.

And I think the first one is onyx is a semi-partial mineral, but...

Well, let's see. Before we reveal how well you've done,

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

So, these were the four statements. And next to them,

are Anita's answers. Louise, what do you think of those answers?

I think she has got Perfection. Yep, I'd agree with her.

Ann, can you find fault?

Well, I have never heard of Belo Horizonte,

but other than that one, I think she's done really well.

They think you're in with a chance of Perfection here.

Let's find out how many are correct.

-Three out of four, not bad. Better.

-Yeah, I'm getting better.

Yeah, but unfortunately, not Perfection. Usual Suspects,

all you need to do is work out which one Anita got wrong.

I've never heard of D, have you heard of D?

I think it was a venue for the World Cup, so I think that is correct.

La Scala is an opera house, but is it in Venice?

I think it might be in Milan. I'm not... But it's up to you.

-We'll change C?

-OK.

OK, Nick, we'd like to change C from false to true.

C you are changing from false to true,

leaving A, B and D as answered by Anita.

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

Oryx is a semiprecious mineral, true or false?

-Yeah, it's false, it's an animal in actual fact, an oryx.

-Oh, yeah.

It's a kind of big antelope.

Terry Waite was once Archbishop of Canterbury, true or false?

Yeah, false,

he was the special envoy to the Archbishop of Canterbury.

La Scala is the main opera house in Venice, true or false?

It's false!

It's in Milan, Louise, just what you said.

Well, well, well. You failed to achieve Perfection,

so you failed to make the round.

I wonder if you can still achieve Perfection at home.

Belo Horizonte is a large city in Brazil.

What did you say about it, Pat, it's a World Cup venue?

-And then said, "Keep it false."

-Yeah.

I need to read it more carefully, I think.

Belo Horizonte is a large city in Brazil, is that true or false?

Lo and behold, it's true.

You had the chance to take the round and you just spurned it.

Let's see the final board.

Currently, the final board is as barren as the Sahara.

Nothing on there. Two rounds played, nobody wants to win a round.

Round 3, all 6 categories will be on offer.

Usual Suspects, we'll see you in Round 3.

So, here is a really good chance for you

if you can get Perfection. And you are building towards it.

-I'm trying.

-Two, then three.

Automatically, we assume that in this next one, you'll get four.

-Of course.

-And choose all six for the Final to give you

-the best chance, yes?

-That's the plan.

-OK. Let's move on, shall we?

And play Round 3.

APPLAUSE

Your 45 seconds start now.

-True.

-True.

-True.

-True.

Yes, they are.

-So you are saying...?

-True.

-True. And finally...

-I'm not sure. False.

-False.

You felt rushed into an answer at the end there?

-I might have been wrong, I think.

-You're not sure about B?

-It might have been The Supremes.

-All right, fingers crossed.

This is a good one to win. Before we reveal how well you've done,

let's bring back the Usual Suspects.

Not that I'm sure they'll be any the wiser, it is worth a try.

So, these are the four statements. And next to them,

are Anita's answers. Pat, what do you make of these?

Very good answers, the only one I'm not sure about is Baby Love, B.

Whether or not it was their first number one.

-Ann?

-I'm not sure about A.

I thought pawpaw was known as a prickly pear, so not the papaya.

OK. Anita, the moment of truth.

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

Let's find out how many are correct.

Oh.

Three out of four. Not bad, but once again,

you've let the Usual Suspects into the game to steal the round.

I wouldn't worry too much.

Let's see, can you steal the round from Anita?

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

What do you think about B, Pat, cos you weren't sure?

I wasn't sure, but you are much more convincing with A.

It's just in the Jungle Book song, isn't it?

He sings about prickly pear, pawpaw.

-I know Baby Love is a Three Degree single.

-Not that I've seen it.

Let's change A, then.

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

A changes from true to false, leaving B, C

and D as answered by Anita.

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

The papaya is also known as a pawpaw, is that true or false?

It is true!

Nobody wants to win a round! A prickly pear is not the same thing.

The prickly pear is actually the fruit of a cactus.

The papaya is also known as a pawpaw.

So, you haven't won the round.

I wonder if you can still achieve Perfection at home.

Let's go through the rest of them.

Baby Love was the first UK number one for The Three Degrees,

true or false?

False.

1964, for The Supremes, not The Three Degrees.

The Tuileries Gardens are in Paris, true or false?

Yeah, you knew that one was true.

And a US president's term in office lasts six years, true or false?

That is false. In actual fact, it is four years.

Let's see the final board.

Empty. So, how do we fill that board?

Well, you'll take it in turns to choose subject categories.

Anita, as the single player, you get to go first.

So, what would you like?

-AA Milne, please.

-AA Milne goes into the Final. Usual Suspects?

-Which one do you think?

-Millwall?

-Millwall, please.

Millwall goes into the Final. Anita?

-Dickens, please.

-Dickens goes in. Usual Suspects?

-Happy Days is one I'd be looking at.

-Happy Days, please, Nick.

-Happy Days goes in. Your last selection, Anita.

-Capitals.

Capitals goes in. And finally?

-Happy with Chinese zodiac?

-Uh, yeah.

-Chinese zodiac, please, Nick.

And Chinese zodiac completes the list.

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

I normally say well played at this stage, Usual Suspects,

but we'll just leave that we'll see you in a little while, shall we?

-Well, they kind of helped you out there, didn't they? Really.

-Yes.

I mean, to be honest, to get three choices,

actually not having won a round, is pretty good going.

-You didn't want Millwall, though.

-Not particularly, no.

Anita, for £14,000, time to play the Final.

APPLAUSE

Anita, this is the all-important final.

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

-of £14,000. That'd be nice, wouldn't it?

-That'd be lovely.

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

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

for a rollover of £15,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

APPLAUSE

Anita, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £14,000.

Think carefully, there is no time limit,

but once you've given an answer, your first answer, it is locked in.

-Right.

-Are you ready?

-I am.

-Let's reveal your first statement.

-I think that is false.

-False.

The dreaded Millwall.

False.

False.

That is a Dickens that I don't know.

-I'll say true.

-True.

There was a Ralph. Um...

-I'll say true.

-True.

The last of the categories you chose for yourself now.

Pristina, Pristina... Oh, goodness!

-I'll say false.

-False.

-True.

-True.

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

and those answers are locked in.

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

What do you think?

-I think I've done really badly.

-Do you really?

-Yeah.

I thought you sounded quite confident on those.

-I sound confident, yeah.

-Of course, that was the trick, wasn't it?

All right, let's bring back the Usual Suspects to see what

they've got to say.

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

And next to them, are Anita's answers.

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

If you made a mistake, you can unlock them with the help

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

-So, Anita, who would you like to hear from first?

-Pat.

I think you've got one definitely wrong

and I would be prepared to come down and help you.

9,000.

He'd like £9,000 of your £14,000 prize

to come down and help you cos he thinks you got one wrong.

Um, can I hear from Ann?

Well, there is one that I am not sure about, Anita,

and one I feel sure you've got wrong.

So, I would be willing to come down for 5,000.

-Interesting.

-Louise.

How do you feel about the board, Anita?

I am fairly confident on it.

I know there is one definitely wrong and I'm unsure of two.

Because I am unsure of a couple of the questions,

I'm going to rule myself out of this.

So, Ann would like £5,000 of your £14,000.

Pat would like £9,000 currently of your £14,000.

Would you like to renegotiate with anybody?

Pat, would you like to come to 5,000?

Split the difference and go to seven.

-OK, Pat, I'll bring you down for seven.

-OK, Pat.

Negotiations seem to have been

concluded for £7,000 of the £14,000 prize fund.

Please come and join us.

APPLAUSE

OK, Anita, you've asked Pat for help. If you achieve Perfection,

it will cost you £7,000 of your potential prize fund of £14,000.

Pat, you've now forfeited your chance to play.

-This is your only shot...

-Yep.

-..at winning Perfection.

Have you made the right decision? We're about to find out.

Anita, why did you decide to go with Pat?

Because you had another offer from Ann as well.

Pat I think we'll know Millwall, which I definitely don't know.

That's the worry. Interesting.

All right, best of luck. All six answers are now unlocked.

Pat, which answers do you want Anita to change?

Well, to be honest, Nick, I bluffed my way in here.

Because I think she has done very well.

The Millwall answer is definitely correct, they are The Lions.

Are there others you weren't sure about?

The problem is, I bluffed as well,

because I don't really know any of those answers.

LAUGHTER So we are in this boat together.

-If we work through the top, then.

-OK.

-You chose AA Milne, didn't you?

-Yeah, I did.

-So, do know his initials?

-Now, I know his stories.

-Dickens?

-Our Mutual Friend I've never read.

We might change that one.

-D is definitely correct, for Happy Days.

-It is?

-Yep.

-Oh, I've never seen that.

-They were definitely in there.

Pristina I've never heard of.

-I've heard of Pristina, I'm just not sure if it is Slovenia.

-Right.

Cos it was Czech Republic, and then it became Slovakia.

It doesn't sound the right language, Pristina.

Potential, we might change that one.

Anita, it is still your decision. You don't have to listen to Pat.

However, the board is now unlocked, so you can change any,

all or none of the answers.

-It is entirely up to you.

-Yep.

I think the chance of me getting them

all right without any help would have been ridiculous, so I think

I'm going to change Pristina and then blame you afterwards.

LAUGHTER

So I'm going to change that from false to true.

-So E is changing from false to true. Definitely?

-Yeah.

-All right.

E changes from false to true.

Anything else before we close the board up?

-I'm OK with the rest, I think.

-Yeah, I'm happy with it.

I was hoping your literary knowledge would pull through on the others.

I was relying on your football and I got that right anyways, so...

-So we are locking them all in?

-Yeah, I think so.

OK, lock the rest of the answers in. £7,000, Anita.

£7,000 to Pat. Six answers away.

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

Let's start at the top, shall we?

AA Milne's initials stand for Adrian Andrew.

Anita, you said this was false.

Is that true or false?

-It is false.

-Oh!

Alan Alexander.

-Oh, right, OK.

-Millwall FC are nicknamed The Villains.

The reason you wanted Pat to come down was to help with this.

He came down and told you you got it right.

So you didn't need his help on this one.

Of course, that is if he is right. Is it true or is it false?

-Yeah, it is false, very well done. They are The Lions.

-Yep.

Aston Villa are The Villains in actual fact.

Fanny Cleaver is a character in Our Mutual Friend.

Now, this was one you said you didn't know about.

You thought about changing this one, didn't you?

Vaguely, yes.

So let's hop over that one for the moment and come back to it.

Ralph Malph and Potsie appeared in Happy Days.

You said true, is that true or is that false?

It is true, very good.

So, halfway.

-Then we come to the one that you changed.

-Ah!

Let's hop over that one for a moment as well, shall we?

The tiger is one of the signs on the Chinese zodiac.

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

It is true.

APPLAUSE

Wow, it's getting close, isn't it? Now we go back to C.

Fanny Cleaver is a character in Our Mutual Friend. You said true.

You need this to turn green to put you one away

from the £14,000.

Is that true or false?

It's true.

APPLAUSE

-It is all down to your Pristina.

-A bit of pressure.

A little bit of pressure here, Pat.

Pristina is the capital of Slovenia.

Anita answered false.

Pat got her to change it to true.

You said right at the start, Anita,

that you were good with judging characters.

Yes. That's why I'm nervous now.

LAUGHTER

Pristina is the capital of Slovenia.

We need this to turn green.

Is it true or false?

For £14,000...

It's false.

It's a good job I've got a sense of humour.

Pristina is the capital of Kosovo.

-So I had it all right.

-Yes.

-Wow.

-Look at that left-hand column there.

-Wow.

-You had an entirely correct run all on your own...

-Wow.

-..for £14,000.

Well, I'm afraid that's terrible news for you.

It is as though we are sugar coating this. Terrible news.

This whole game, from beginning to end, has been

a complete disaster, hasn't it? Not a single round won.

And then at the end, the one time you get a completely right board,

you actually managed to change away from it. Usual Suspects,

fantastic news for you as the money rolls over to the next game, where

one of you could now be playing for a total of £15,000.

APPLAUSE

Anita, Pat you failed to... You didn't fail to achieve Perfection,

you achieved Perfection, and then you failed to stick with it.

-But I hope you enjoyed playing at least.

-I really enjoyed myself.

-And Pat?

-It's been fun, but... Probably not for the right reasons.

Yeah. OK, let's hear it for Anita and Pat.

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 15,000. And remember, on this show,

we will only pay you for perfection.

And only if you stick with perfection.

See you next time, goodbye.

APPLAUSE
