Episode 5 Perfection

Welcome to the quiz show that demands perfection.

Behind this screen are four contestants who're 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.

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

so they will need to think carefully and strategically

about how to play the perfect game and when to come down to help.

So, you know how the game works.

Let's meet the Usual Suspects.

Hi, I'm Jack. I'm from Stratford in East London.

I'm an account manager, and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Emily. I'm from Chorley in Lancashire.

I'm a web content manager, and this is my first game.

Hi, I'm Louise. I'm from Tarporley, Cheshire.

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

Hi, I'm Ann from Doncaster.

I'm a safety officer for the NHS, and this is my third game.

Welcome to you all, and best of luck, as we now find out

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

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

APPLAUSE

-Hello, welcome to the game.

-Thank you.

Bit dramatic - straight in, straight down.

Yes, I wasn't expecting that.

-So let's find out a bit about you, shall we?

-OK.

-Keen footballer.

-I am, yes.

-And women's football is getting bigger, isn't it?

-It is, yeah.

It's been nice to see the increased coverage

with the Women's World Cup,

-and a lot of the England games are shown now as well.

-Yeah?

Yeah, I look forward to them.

-Let's get back to the game.

-OK, yes.

It's now you vs the Usual Suspects.

Very briefly they were your team-mates,

but they're now very definitely enemies.

Their job is to stop you winning the prize fund

cos your failure will mean the prize money rolls over

to the next game, where one of them could play for a bigger total.

Now, every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Here's the fantastic news for you,

no-one has won the last 14 games,

so the prize fund currently stands at £15,000.

APPLAUSE

-That's a proper humongous chunk of money.

-It is, yeah.

Any idea what you'd spend it on? Several ideas, I suppose.

-One big idea - I'd like to fund a PhD.

-In?

-Medical law.

Wow! Why particularly that area?

I'm not sure, it's just something that's always interested me,

and I did my undergraduate dissertation

in relation to consent systems and organ donation.

So it's something I'd like to look at further.

-Wow, OK. Look, best of luck with that.

-Yep, thank you.

-Right.

Here's how the game works -

you'll play three rounds, then a final.

Every round that you achieve Perfection makes the Final easier.

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. More of that to follow later.

Usual Suspects, we're switching you off for now

so you can't see or hear anything.

Each round consists of four true or false statements.

You answer against the clock.

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

your first answer - it's locked in.

-OK.

-Are you ready?

-Ready.

Then let's get started and play Perfection.

Round 1. Your 45 seconds start now.

Yeah. It's a George Clooney film, but Matt Damon is also in it.

-That's true.

-True.

Oh, I always get polar bears,

North Pole and South Pole mixed up.

Um, I'll go false.

False.

Oh, was it judo?

It might... Erm...

Yeah, uh... No, I'll go false actually.

-False.

-Yes.

And finally...

All I know about bald Roman Emperors

was Caesar.

I'll go false.

False.

So how was that as a round?

It could have been better.

It's not the worst round I could have faced.

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

time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

Don't forget, they'll now be able to hear you.

So, these were the four statements,

and next to them are Emily's answers. Ann, kick us off.

Has she made any mistakes?

I don't think she has, Nick. I think that's perfect.

Louise, can you pick any holes in that?

I think she's got Perfection. I'm a bit unsure about D.

Hmm. Jack, do you think there's any mistakes there?

No, I think she's got Perfection as well.

Vote of confidence for you there, Emily, from the Usual Suspects.

-I think they're more confident than I am.

-The moment of truth.

You must answer all four statements perfectly to win the round.

Let's see how many are correct.

-It's a good start.

-Yep.

But it's not quite good enough

to keep the Usual Suspects out of the game.

They get a chance to steal the round now.

So, you need to change one of Emily's answers, but which one,

Usual Suspects?

The only one I had a query about, and I'm not sure,

is Charles The Bald.

That does sound a bit silly, but I'd go with D.

What about Amy Williams? Do you think she was a Olympic judo...

-Yeah, it's ringing bells but I can't be too sure.

-For judo?

Yeah.

I remember a young girl doing very well at it.

That's what I'm thinking.

I'm tempted to change C from false to true.

-OK.

-Would you be happy for that?

Yes. You're the captain, we'll go with that.

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

C from false to true,

leaving A, B and D as answered by Emily.

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

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

Matt Damon stars in the film The Monuments Men.

Is it true or is it false?

Yes, it is true.

Polar bears are native to the South Pole,

true or false?

Yes, false. They are in fact native in the Arctic region of the North.

This is the key one, isn't it?

Amy Williams is an Olympic judo gold medallist.

Is it true or false?

It's false!

She is a gold medallist - skeleton.

Little thing like a tea tray, hurtling down the toboggan run. No?

No recognition still with the Usual Suspects.

All right. So I'm afraid you can't achieve Perfection.

I wonder if you can still achieve it at home.

Let's go through this last answer as well.

Charles The Bald was a Holy Roman Emperor. You talked about

this a lot, Usual Suspects,

then veered away from it.

True or false?

True.

That was the one you were looking for actually.

Usual Suspects, had you got Perfection,

you'd have the opportunity to make Emily's chances of winning

the prize fund much harder in the Final,

but you're not going to.

Let's look and see how it would have worked anyway.

Emily, this is your final board.

At least six blank spaces need to be filled with subject categories.

Here are your final round category options.

Starting with King Kong, running through Cowboys

and on to Freud,

with many more in-between.

Now, had you reached Perfection, you would now have the chance

of having two categories of your choice on the board.

But since 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.

You had a chance there

and you let it slip, Usual Suspects. We'll see you in Round 2.

-They talked themselves out of it.

-Yeah.

Let's have a look at this list whilst we're here.

-When you get Perfection...

-Yep.

..which two will you be choosing first?

2014 Films probably.

I do like my cinema.

-Possibly Freud.

-OK.

I did study psychology at college,

so that's an option.

All right. And two you're desperate to avoid?

Possibly Birds,

and either Nepal

or Submarines, I think.

All right, then. Remember, Emily, to win the prize fund,

you'll need to answer all six correctly.

-Winning the next round with four on offer would be a good start.

-Yes.

-Are you ready?

-Yes. Let's go.

Let's play Round 2.

Your 45 seconds start now.

Um, I know it is a cheese, so that's a good start.

Whether it's a blue-veined cheese, I'm not sure.

Um, true.

True.

I've seen it, and he most certainly did. That's true.

True.

I think I've heard that somewhere. Yeah, I'll say that's true.

True. And finally...

Ooh, that's an interesting one.

Um, it's not something I've

ever heard associated with Newton.

-I'll say false.

-False.

And you've answered all four statements

with a little time to spare.

Does that feel better?

Yeah, not too bad.

-You've had a chance here?

-Possibly. Possibly. We'll see.

All right, let's bring back those pesky Usual Suspects

and find out what they think.

These are the four statements, and next to them are Emily's answers.

-Louise.

-Well, I think she's got one wrong.

I think C is wrong.

-You think C is wrong?

-Yes.

-OK. Jack.

A is incorrect. I remember Gorgonzola being gooey cheese.

So I think A is actually false.

All right, then.

-Ann.

-I agree with Louise. I think C is false.

And I'm not sure about D.

I'm not sure if the thermometer was later than Isaac Newton.

OK then. Emily, the moment of truth.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Congratulations, Emily. You have achieved Perfection.

Let's have a look at those. You look quite chuffed there.

SHE LAUGHS Yeah. Quite pleased with that, yeah.

Yeah, very well done.

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

Gorgonzola is a blue-veined cheese.

You said, "True," and despite Jack's recollection, it is in fact...

true.

It can be quite gooey, but it is definitely blue veined.

Mike Tyson appeared in The Hangover.

You've seen the film, you knew it was true.

The one you were very confident on. And it is of course...

true.

And Taiwan's official name is the Republic Of China.

You went with true, and it is of course...true.

And the thermometer was invented by

Isaac Newton. You said it was false.

And it is of course...

false. Galileo.

Generally it's credited to Galileo, but they're not absolutely sure.

OK. Emily, as a result of that perfect performance...

-Yep.

-..you've made winning the prize fund of £15,000

a lot easier actually.

Let's take a look at your final board.

Nothing on there at the moment cos, of course, nothing was won

in the first round, so the two categories are carried over.

So, guess what, you get to choose four categories now

to add to that board.

Um, I'll go with 2014 Films, please.

2014 Films goes into the Final.

-Diseases.

-Diseases.

I'll take a punt on Freud.

Take a punt on Freud.

Would have read something into that expression, wouldn't he?

Um, BBC Drama.

And BBC Drama.

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

We'll see you in the next round. Cheerio.

-That was cracking. Well done, you.

-Yeah. Bit surprised, but pleased.

Carry on and fill the last two up, you've got a really good chance.

-Yes.

-Happy to move on?

-Yes.

OK, let's clear that down and let's play Round 3.

Here we go.

Your 45 seconds start now.

I've heard of the painting. I've heard of the painter.

Whether they go together, I'm not sure.

Um...

-False.

-False.

Yeah, I can see that being true. I'll say true.

True.

Um, that's quite possible

but, all the same, I'll say false.

False. And finally,

-keeping an eye on time...

-Yep.

Haven't heard of them. I'll say...

-I'll say true.

-True.

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

Is that a perfect round?

I don't think so. I'm not confident on any of those.

Not so confident. But you never know, to be honest.

Before we see how well you've done, let's talk to those Usual Suspects.

Usual Suspects, these were the four statements.

Next to them are Emily's answers.

Let's start with Jack this time, shall we?

Find us something wrong with that, Jack.

I would have gone with

a different answer for D,

Guadeloupe.

-I would go with false.

-OK. Louise.

The only question mark is C.

I'm not 100% sure on that.

Ann.

It's possible that the Japanese would use snails

to do a beauty treatment, but

I think Emily has probably got it right.

OK. Emily, the moment of truth.

You need to answer all four perfectly to win the round.

Let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four is not bad, but

this time, you have let the Usual Suspects into the game.

They have a chance to steal the round.

You need to change one, Usual Suspects.

Can you find out which one?

-You've heard of Guadeloupe, yes?

-I haven't, no.

No, I've heard of Guadeloupe

-and I know...

-Oh, right.

-Yeah, I do think it is in that region.

-OK.

-Yes.

-Do you agree?

-I think Emily would know that sort of thing as well.

Can you imagine the Japanese using snail for a facial treatment?

-I don't know, but why not?

-Yeah.

-They do do some odd things.

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

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

as answered by Emily.

OK, Usual Suspects,

let's find out what the correct answers are.

Tower Of Babel is a famous painting by Rubens,

true or false?

That's false.

There are several paintings with this title.

The most famous is by Bruegel, if you know your art.

The actor Tom Hanks collects vintage typewriters, true or false?

True.

So, a snail facial is a Japanese beauty treatment.

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

It's true.

Very well done, Usual Suspects.

A little surprised and relieved, I think.

You know where it's going.

Guadeloupe is a group of Caribbean islands, true or false?

True.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

OK, Emily.

It's a shame, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed

and they've stolen the round. A shame for you.

Great news for the Usual Suspects.

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

a little harder. Let's see the final board.

First four categories on there chosen by Emily. But,

because you won that round, Usual Suspects,

you get to choose the last two.

So, what you like her to play?

-What about Springsteen?

-Yes.

-Or Nepal?

Is she a bit young to know Springsteen?

How about King Kong?

-What King Kong, that'll be...

-Possibly about film, maybe.

-Yeah.

-Nepal.

-Yep, go on, then.

-Nepal?

-Yes.

-We'll go with Springsteen and Nepal, then.

-Springsteen and Nepal...

-BOTH: Yes.

-..please, Nick.

OK, Springsteen makes it into the Final, and so does Nepal.

Very well done. We now know our six final categories.

They are 2014 Films,

Diseases, Freud,

BBC Drama, Springsteen

and Nepal.

Very well played there at the end, Usual Suspects.

Last time to switch you off, but we'll see you a little later.

So, Springsteen.

You're a little young to know anything about Springsteen.

SHE LAUGHS I listen to a lot of classic rock.

Classic rock and Motown is my kind of music,

so Springsteen might not be too bad.

-And Nepal.

-Not done too bad on geography,

so, yeah, we'll see how that one goes.

All right, Emily. For £15,000, it's time to play the Final.

Emily, this is the all-important Final.

If you achieve Perfection, you could leave

with a prize fund of £15,000.

-That'd be nice, wouldn't it?

-It would, yeah.

-£15,000.

-Wouldn't say no.

Yes. But if you fail, you'll be leaving with nothing...

-Yes.

-..so great news for the Usual Suspects

as one of them could be playing for a rollover of £16,000

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

Here are your final six categories.

Now you must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £15,000. Think carefully.

There's no time limit.

But once you've given an answer - your first answer -

-it's locked them. Are you ready?

-Yes.

Then let's reveal your first statement.

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

2014 Films.

I think she did.

I think it's a film about a woman and her son

who pick up either a drifter or a criminal.

I hope that's the one I'm thinking of. If it is, Kate Winslet was in it.

I think it was. I'll go true.

True.

Diseases.

I had it in my head that malaria was mosquitoes and not that fly.

Um...

False.

False. Freud.

I thought he was born in Vienna.

I can't see why he would have been born in London.

-False.

-False.

BBC Drama.

I've never seen it, but I know that's true.

True. Springsteen.

I've never heard of it.

Um, there are a few Springsteen albums I have heard of.

That isn't one of them.

That's not to say it isn't a Springsteen album.

Erm...

-False.

-False.

And finally, Nepal.

I'm sure I've heard that somewhere. I'll go true.

True.

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

and your answers are now locked in.

-If there's a single mistake, you go home with nothing.

-Mm-hm.

-Which one's are you worried about?

-E, I think,

is the one I'm most concerned with.

I'm not sure on B either.

But I think E's the stickler.

-E's the one...

-Yeah.

-OK.

Let's switch on the Usual Suspects.

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

And next to them are Emily's answers.

Emily, your answers are locked in and you can't change them

by 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.

Usual Suspects,

I'm now going to ask you to tell me how well you think Emily has done,

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

So, Emily, who would like to hear from first?

I'll go down the middle. Louise, please.

I know you've got one wrong.

How confident do you feel about the board, Emily?

Um, fairly confident.

Sure of at least four.

OK. I would be prepared to come down and help you for half the money.

OK. So Louise has come in with an opening gambit

of £7,500 of your £15,000

to come and help you.

OK. I'll hear from the others first, please.

-Jack.

-I think...

or I know you've got one wrong.

I'd be willing to come down and help you though for slightly less.

It'd be 6,000 to come and correct one of those.

So Jack's offering £6,000 to come down and help.

OK. Ann.

I'm positive you've got one wrong, Emily.

And I'd be happy to come down for 6,000, too.

Interesting. You can renegotiate with them on their prices.

You can go it alone. You might think they're bluffing.

It is up to you to work out what to do next.

Um...

I think I'll go it alone.

-You're going it alone?

-Yep.

So negotiations are over. You've decided to go it alone.

£15,000 at stake.

Six answers away.

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

APPLAUSE

Right, this is interesting, isn't it?

-Jack, what do you think she's got wrong?

-It's the Springsteen album.

Interesting. Louise?

I think it's Sigmund Freud.

-Ann.

-I think it's B.

-I think the Tsetse fly.

-Ooh-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!

They think it's B, C and E that you've got wrong.

-ALL LAUGH

-Wow. Split of opinion up there.

-Let's start at the top and make our way through, shall we?

-Yes.

Kate Winslet starred in the film Labor Day.

You think that it's true.

Did you see the film or not?

I haven't seen it, no, but I've heard about it.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, then she's definitely in it.

Right, OK.

So, we need this to turn green

for you to get off to a good start.

Kate Winslet starred in the film Labor Day. Is that true or false?

True.

All right, very good. Good start.

They thought B, C and E.

Let's hop over B, C and E, shall we? And go to D.

-Waterloo Road is set in a school. Now, you know this one.

-Yes.

-All right. So that's going to turn green.

-Yes.

Waterloo Road is set in a school, true or false?

Yeah, absolutely true.

Let's go to the bottom, then.

Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal.

You said this was true. Happy with this one?

Fairly happy, yeah.

-Reasonably confident?

-Reasonably, yeah.

In percentage terms, roundabout?

-70.

-70% sure on this one.

-Yeah.

-OK.

Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal.

If this turns green, you're halfway

to the, let's not forget, £15,000.

Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal,

true or false?

True.

Good. Very good. Very good.

So, now we've got B, C and E to deal with,

which are the ones the Usual Suspects are worried about.

So, let's start at the top.

B - Malaria is spread by the Tsetse fly.

Now, you had it in your mind

-that malaria is spread by...?

-Mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes, not the Tsetse fly.

So you went with false on this one.

We need this to turn red for you to keep you on track.

Malaria is spread by the Tsetse fly. Is that true or false?

Yeah, it is false. Very well done.

Yeah, it is a mosquito.

All right. So, Freud.

The psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud was born in London.

-You had a think about this, but you thought he was born in...?

-Vienna.

Do you know what, if this turns red,

you are one away

from the £15,000.

The psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud

was born in London.

We need this to turn red for you. Is it true or false?

It's false.

He was born in Pribor, a place in the Austrian Empire.

Well, that brings us to five out of six.

Just one between you and the £15,000.

-And it's one that you said you were most worried about.

-Yep.

This is the one where you could lose it.

High Hopes was the title of Springsteen's debut album.

Now, they chose Springsteen

on the hope that you actually wouldn't know about it

because, basically, you'd be too young to know about Springsteen.

Which particular type of music is your favourite?

Classic rock.

Yeah, so...

Usual Suspects looking slightly less confident now,

giggling away in the background there.

-But Springsteen not a specific favourite of yours?

-Not really, no.

So it all rests on this.

If you're right, you're about to win £15,000.

-Which is your doctorate...

-It is.

-..that you want to do.

If you're wrong, I'm afraid you've fallen at the final hurdle,

having played a great game, it has to be said.

So, High Hopes was the title of Springsteen's debut album.

You need this to turn red because you said false.

Is it true or false

for £15,000?

It's false. Congratulations, Emily, you have achieved Perfection!

That's amazing.

Isn't that just brilliant?

-Oh, my God!

-Are you OK?

-Yeah.

Right, did you ever think about what you're going to do with £15,000?

We'll clear that up for you. It was in fact his 18th studio album.

-So, £15,000.

-It's just unbelievable.

Do you know what? You played the most amazing game.

You only got two questions wrong and then tie game,

all three rounds on this one here.

You're setting me off now.

So tell us what you're going to do again with that £15,000.

-It'll fund a Phd.

-That's fantastic, isn't it?

It's just something I've aimed to do for years.

I've always wanted to go into academics and research,

and finding the funding has just been so tough.

-This will cover it.

-That's brilliant.

We're really, really chuffed for you, I think everyone.

Isn't that fantastic?

How fantastic.

Unfortunately for you, Usual Suspects,

it means the prize fund has been won

and we reset the total back to £1,000 for the next game.

To be honest, for people who have just lost £15,000,

you're looking incredibly smiley and happy about it.

-We are really happy for her.

-Congratulations, Emily.

You achieved Perfection and you will be leaving with £15,000.

APPLAUSE

Well, it kind of feels like

we all ought to be going off for a celebration at this stage,

but we've got half the show still to do.

So let's meet our new Usual Suspect, hoping to play Perfection today.

New Usual Suspect, please introduce yourself.

Hi, my name's Daniel.

I'm from Sutton Coldfield and I'm a computing consultant.

Welcome, Daniel and best of luck to all of you as we now find out

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

Jack, it's you.

Please come down and join me.

-Jack, welcome to the game.

-Hello.

-That was some game, wasn't it?

-It was incredible. Yeah. Very good.

-Very emotional, I thought, actually.

I thought so. I nearly started welling up myself.

All right, well, look, Jack, it's now you versus the Usual Suspects.

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

Every game on Perfection is worth £1,000.

Now, unfortunately for you, the prize fund has been won.

The big prize fund. But still, we reset the prize fund to £1,000.

Come along, play a game and walk away with £1,000.

-It'd be quite handy, wouldn't it?

-Yes, absolutely.

What do want to spend the money on if you win it?

I'd be really keen to go on a big holiday with my girlfriend somewhere.

All right, well, best of luck to you.

Three rounds and a final to come.

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

so see can see or hear anything,

but as soon as Jack makes a mistake you'll be back in the game. Cheerio.

-Away they go. Should we get started?

-Yes, please.

Let's play Perfection.

Round 1, your 45 seconds start now.

Ah, now I've heard of Cossacks.

-I think that's more to do with Russia, so that's false.

-False.

-Billiards are played with balls. I'm going to go with true on that.

-True.

I think that's false.

False. And with time to spare...

I know he calls his fans Beliebers.

-I'm going to go with I'm a Believer. True.

-True.

And with time to spare, you've answered all four. How was that?

-Yeah, all right.

-Yeah?

Yeah, I'm confident with two.

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

it's time to bring back the Usual Suspects.

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

Ann, has he achieved Perfection?

D, I'm sure I'm A Believer was a song by The Monkees,

and I don't recall Justin Bieber doing it.

C, I think that Thomas Cook did discover the Fijis.

-Louise?

-I agree with Ann on D.

-It was definitely a hit for The Monkees.

-OK.

Jack, let's find out how many are correct.

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

As a result, you've let your enemies, the Usual Suspects,

-into the game.

-Yes.

-Usual Suspects, can you steal the round?

You need to find the wrong one to change. But, which one is it?

I'm a Believer was definitely

a hit single for The Monkees.

Whether it was also a hit single for Justin Bieber...

It seems a bit ridiculous to me that he would do it

just because he calls his fans Beliebers.

I would say that D is true. I would go for C that he's got wrong.

I would disagree. I would say that D is The Monkees.

Which gives you a casting vote, Ann.

Well, I like to go with D. Same as Louise, please.

OK, changing D from true to false

leaving A, B, and C

as answered by Jack.

OK, Cossacks are peasant soldiers from South Africa.

Is that true or false?

Yeah, that is false.

The Cossacks lived to the north of the Caspian and Black Seas.

Carom billiards is played with three balls. True or false?

Yeah, that's true.

Thomas Cook discovered Fiji.

We're about to find out whether Daniel was right or wrong.

Is it true or false?

Yes, it is false. He founded the travel company, Thomas Cook.

He didn't discover Fiji.

I'm a Believer was a hit single for Justin Bieber.

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

It's false. Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You have achieved Perfection.

Absolutely right, it was The Monkees,

and not covered by Justin Bieber at all.

Jack, they managed to succeed where you failed

and they've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity

to make Jack's chances of winning the prize fund

much harder in the Final. Here's how...

Jack, this is your final board appearing before you.

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

Starting with Rappers, going through Germany,

onto Movie Moguls and finishing with Railways,

with many more in between.

Because the Usual Suspects stole the round from you,

they get to choose two categories,

hoping to make the Final harder to win.

So, which two would you like, Usual Suspects?

-What about Sculpture?

-Yeah. I'm happy with Sculpture.

-Are you happy with that, Daniel?

-Yeah. I'd also go for Royal Art.

-Lenin?

-Or Nobel Prize. Yeah, we'll go for Nobel Prize, please, Nick.

Nobel Prize goes in. And one more.

-Sculpture.

-Sculpture goes in as well. Thank you very much.

Well done, Usual Suspects. You won the first round.

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

Nobel Prize.

There's going to be two or three facts I know about who's won those.

-Big fan of sculpture?

-Absolutely not.

-When you win a round...

-Yeah.

..what are you going to be choosing first?

Believe it or not, I'd fancy my luck at Rappers.

I'd also be OK with Movie Moguls as well.

OK, and two you're quite keen to avoid?

I know very little about Railways. I can't think of any facts there.

Again, Lenin. I know exactly who that

is, but if there's anything date-wise,

-it's unlikely I'm going to know.

-OK, Jack, it's only the first round.

You still have two more rounds to find Perfection

and choose your own categories for the Final. Are you ready to move on?

-Yes, I am.

-Let's play Round 2.

Your 45 seconds start now.

Um...

I'm just trying to think how I can link the word resin there.

-I'm going to go with true.

-True.

I'd love it if it was, but I've been to Brazil. I think that's false.

False.

I know very little about that.

Only based on the type of name, I'm going to say that's true.

True. And finally...

-I read a review on not the other day. That's true.

-True.

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

-That felt quite positive.

-If my suspicions are right,

I've definitely got two correct,

but who knows, eh?

All right, let's bring back the Usual Suspects

and see what they have to say.

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

Daniel, has he achieved Perfection?

I think he's got C wrong.

Mach seems to be an engineering term,

so I don't know if he was a surrealist.

Louise, what do you think of these answers?

I'm unsure of A,

-and I agree with Dan with C.

-OK.

Jack, let's find out how many are correct.

Two out of four. Certainly not Perfection.

Once again, you've let your enemies, the Usual Suspects,

into the game. Can you steal the round?

You need to get two to change. Which two is it, though?

-Daniel, what do you think?

-D is definitely right.

So D we leave the same and B we leave the same.

Yeah, I would say that.

I would say A and C are wrong.

Yeah, so A changed from true to false and C...

So, we're going to go A from true to false, please, Nick.

A changes from true to false.

And then C from true to false also.

And C from true to false,

leaving B and D as answered by Jack.

OK, Usual Suspects, let's find out

what the correct answers are.

Epoxy resin comes from Indian

rubber trees. True or false?

Yeah, false.

It's a synthetic resin in actual fact.

Kickapoo is a Brazilian sport.

True or false?

Yeah, false.

Although interestingly, they are

a native North American people,

the Kickapoo.

Moving on, Ernst Mach was a

German surrealist. True or false?

Yeah, false in actual fact.

Scientist.

The measure of speed was named after him. Mach 1, Mach 2...

Scarlett Johansson plays an alien

in Under The Skin. True or false?

It's true. Congratulations,

Usual Suspects. You have achieved Perfection.

Very well done.

Jack, the Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed

and they've stolen the round, which means, Usual Suspects,

you now have the opportunity to make Jack's chances of winning

the prize fund of £1,000 a little bit harder.

Let's see the final board.

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

Because they won the round, they get to choose the next two as well.

Which two do you fancy?

-Should we go with Royal Art this time?

-Yes.

So, put Royal Art in?

-Yes, please.

-Royal Art goes across.

-Shall we go with Lenin?

-OK, I'm happy with Lenin.

We'd like to put Lenin in there, please, Nick.

And Lenin goes into the Final.

Congratulations, Usual Suspects.

You've won Round 2 as well as Round 1. See you in Round 3.

-Royal Art.

-Oh, blimey. I don't know where I'd start with that.

-And you didn't want Lenin?

-No, I definitely didn't.

If you're going to have any chance,

you're probably going to need to win a round here

-and choose your own subjects.

-I am indeed.

You're going to have to get very lucky for them

-to choose anything that you want.

-Yeah.

All right, still one more round to come and a chance to get Perfection.

Are you ready to play the next round?

-I am, yes.

-Good, let's play Round 3.

Your 45 seconds start now.

I can only think of a couple of flatbreads in my head. Um...

-I'm going to go with false.

-False.

-Again, I think I know my films, more recent stuff. That's true.

-True.

I...

It sounds like an old American town.

I'm going to go with true.

True. And finally...

-No, it has to do something completely different. That's false.

-False.

And with time with to spare, you've answered all four. How was that?

Yeah, all right. 50-50 again. Two out of two I've got there.

Two out of four, sorry.

All right, Jack, let's find out what the Usual Suspects think.

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

Daniel, can you see anything wrong with these?

-No, I think he's got Perfection. He's done well.

-Ann?

I agree with Daniel. I think perhaps Perfection is there.

Vote of confidence from the Usual Suspects there. Are they right?

Let's find out how many are correct.

Three out of four. Close, but not Perfection.

Once again, you've let the Usual Suspects in,

but can they steal the round?

Can you find the one that you need to change?

I would change C.

I'm not really sure, so I'll go with the majority.

OK, we'll change C, then.

We'll change C, then, Nick, from true to false.

OK, C from true to false, leaving A, B, and D as answered by Jack.

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

Sassafras is a type of flatbread. Is that true or false?

Yeah, it's false. It's a tree. Moving on...

Mark Wahlberg stars in the 2013 film Lone Survivor. True or false?

True. Chattanooga is a town in North Carolina.

That's the key one, isn't it? True or false.

It's false. Yes, very well done.

It's in Tennessee.

Wakeboards are devices

typically used by undertakers.

That's one of my favourite questions ever, this.

True or false?

Yeah, false, they're not.

Well done, Usual Suspects, you have achieved Perfection.

Yeah, a wakeboard is something...

It's like a small surfboard that you get towed along behind a boat.

The Usual Suspects have succeeded where you failed.

They've stolen the round.

Usual Suspects, you now have the opportunity

to make Jack's chance of winning the prize fund a bit harder.

Let's see the final board. It's a clean sweep in actual fact

because the Usual Suspects have chosen the first four subjects.

And guess what, they get to the last two as well.

-So, which ones do you fancy?

-Morse Code?

Morse Code, yes. And Germany?

We'd like to go with... Are you happy with that, Daniel?

That's fine with me.

Yeah, we'll go with Germany and Morse Code, please.

Germany and Morse Code go into the Final

to make up our six categories.

So, there we go. We now know our six categories. They are...

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

-Germany.

-There's a chance, yeah. I'm half happy with that.

-TAPS ON DESK No.

-Nothing?

-Right, OK...

OK, Jack, for £1,000, it's time to play the Final.

Jack, this is the all-important Final.

If you can achieve Perfection,

you could be leaving with a prize fund of £1,000,

which is nothing to be sniffed at.

If you fail, you'll be leaving with nothing

which will be great news for the Usual Suspects,

as one of them could be playing for a rollover

of £2,000 on the next game.

Let's play the final round.

Jack, here are your final six categories.

You must answer all six statements correctly

if you want to win the £1,000.

Think carefully. There's no time limit,

but once you've given an answer, your first answer,

-it will be locked in. Are you ready?

-Yes.

Then let's reveal your first statement.

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

I know one or two who have won that before.

-Pure guess, it's going to have to go for true.

-True.

Sculpture.

-Right, well, I know what that is. Um... True.

-True.

Royal Art.

I don't know how you'd...quantify this. Um...

I think that's too many.

-Let's go with false.

-False.

Lenin.

If I'm right, I think he's...

I know that his body is kept

in Saint Petersburg maybe, or Moscow.

I think they've still got it.

I'm not sure they'd keep it

if he was assassinated,

so I'm going to go with false.

False. Germany.

I'm going to go with false on that.

False. And finally, Morse Code.

If I knew the question was who had created it...

Again, I'm going to have to guess this.

They picked all the topics for me.

-I'm going to go with true.

-True.

And with that, you've answered

all six statements.

If there's one single mistake, you go home with nothing.

-Which ones are you worried about?

-All of them.

I'll ask the other way around - which ones are you sure of?

I think I might have got B right about Nelson's Column.

And I've got an inkling with D, on Lenin, that I've got that right.

As you know, the rest was guesswork.

All right, let's bring back the Usual Suspects

and see what they have to say.

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

Next to them are Jack's answers.

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

If you think you made a mistake, you can unlock them

with the help of the Usual Suspects. It will, however, come at a cost.

Jack, who would you like to hear from first?

Daniel, see what he's got to say.

I think you got two wrong.

I'm not so sure, so I'm going to leave it. Good luck, mate.

I'll hear from Ann, please.

I think you've got three wrong on there, Jack.

But I'd like to play my own game, so I'm staying up here, please.

And, Louise, what do you think, anyway?

I think you've got two wrong,

but I'd like the prize money to roll over. I'm sorry.

They're not going to come down, are they?

No, I didn't think they would.

Hey, but listen, they have been wrong before.

You might have achieved Perfection all on your own.

You might be walking out of here with £1,000.

None of the Usual Suspect are willing to help. £1,000 at stake.

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

Let's start off on a positive note, shall we?

The ones that you're really quite confident on, B and D, aren't you?

-Maybe, yeah.

-Let's start off with B. Let's get you off to good start.

The lions on Nelson's Column are by Henry Moore. You said this was true.

Rang a bell, thought you should know it?

This is one that you've felt most confident about.

So, you need this to turn green to get you off to good start.

Is it true or is it false?

Edwin Lanseer was the guy who actually designed the lions.

-Henry Moore was a bit later on, to be honest.

-Yeah.

So, unfortunately, that's a no.

And it means that you can't achieve Perfection

and you can't take the cash home.

-But let me tell you, that was a stinker of a board.

-Yeah.

All right, let's go from the top and run through these

because maybe you can still achieve Perfection at home.

Lech Walesa won the Nobel Prize for peace. Is that true or false?

-Yes, that is true. He was actually a Polish activist.

-OK.

So, let's go on, the Royal Collection

contains around 25,000 objects.

You thought this was too many, so you said false.

Is that true or false?

That is false. Very well done.

-It contains more than one million objects.

-Oh, right. OK.

The Russian leader Vladimir Lenin was assassinated.

You said this was false on the basis that they've got his body,

and they've got it on show.

So they wouldn't show it if he was assassinated,

so you went with false. Is that true or false?

-It is false. Very well done. He died after a series of strokes.

-OK.

Hamburg is located on the River Elbe. He said this was false.

Is it true or false?

That is true. Finally, Samuel Morse was born in Oxford.

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

Yeah, I'm afraid that's false.

He was born in the USA.

Well, it means you haven't won the money.

Great news for the Usual Suspects.

The prize fund rolls over to the next game,

where one of the Usual Suspects

could be playing for a total of £2,000,

which was their plan all along to be fair.

Jack, you failed to achieve Perfection,

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

-Hope you enjoyed the process.

-I had a brilliant time. Thank you.

Brilliant. Let's hear it for Jack, everybody.

Well, that's all we have time for.

Please join us again next time, when our Usual Suspects

have the chance to play again, this time for £2,000.

Remember, on this show, we will pay for perfection,

as you saw in the first game.

See you next time. Bye-bye.
