0:00:18 > 0:00:19Hello.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22I'm Mark Williams and welcome to The Link,

0:00:22 > 0:00:24where knowing the answers is only half the battle.

0:00:24 > 0:00:28To win this game, you have to find the link BETWEEN the answers.

0:00:28 > 0:00:31Three teams are hoping to make the right connections,

0:00:31 > 0:00:34but only one of them can be in today's final.

0:00:34 > 0:00:38Let's see who's jumping with judicious judgement.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43I'm Andy, I come from the Wirral,

0:00:43 > 0:00:45I'm a complaints prevention manager,

0:00:45 > 0:00:47and I do compering in my spare time. And this is my friend.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50I'm Mike, I'm a strategic operations analyst

0:00:50 > 0:00:51and I'm also from the Wirral.

0:00:55 > 0:00:59Two job descriptions there about which I have no idea.

0:00:59 > 0:01:03- And neither do we. - Neither do you! Andy, you...

0:01:03 > 0:01:07- Have you got anything to tell me about The Fourth Plinth?- Yes.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09A couple of years ago, I was fortunate enough to be chosen

0:01:09 > 0:01:12to stand on The Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14It's part of Antony Gormley's art exhibition at the time,

0:01:14 > 0:01:18where you had to spend an hour on the plinth doing whatever,

0:01:18 > 0:01:21- literally whatever you wanted to. - So what were you doing?

0:01:21 > 0:01:23I stood up there dressed as Judge Dredd,

0:01:23 > 0:01:25who's my favourite comic character.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28I talked about why I'm a geek, and I'll be honest with you,

0:01:28 > 0:01:30it was one of the least weird things that happened

0:01:30 > 0:01:33on the plinth on those 30 days, so, yeah.

0:01:33 > 0:01:35- Right. - Although a bit hot in the leather.

0:01:35 > 0:01:39So, Mike, you're still friends with him despite that...

0:01:39 > 0:01:43Despite all the leather that he dresses up in. Yeah, still friends.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47- Fantastic. Alison and Chloe, tell us about yourselves.- I'm Alison.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50I'm a children's community nurse, I'm from Birmingham,

0:01:50 > 0:01:52and this is my daughter.

0:01:52 > 0:01:53I'm Chloe, I'm from Walsall,

0:01:53 > 0:01:56and I'm currently studying medical sciences at uni.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Mother and daughter...

0:02:01 > 0:02:05- Can you not tell the family resemblance?- I can.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08You say Walsall and you say Birmingham.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11- Because I'm a Brummie and we moved to Walsall.- Oh, OK.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13She was born in Walsall.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15- IN BRUMMIE:- So I can't talk proper...

0:02:15 > 0:02:17- OWN ACCENT:- ..but she can, so it's OK.- You can't half.

0:02:17 > 0:02:18I'm multilingual.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21The difference is, of course, Birmingham and the Black Country,

0:02:21 > 0:02:25two very discreet and separate cultures.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29- Should not be mixed up.- No. Remember that. All right?

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Dave and Hywel.

0:02:32 > 0:02:34I'm David and I'm an assistant head teacher,

0:02:34 > 0:02:37and I'm from Yorkshire, and this is my friend.

0:02:37 > 0:02:39I'm Hywel, I grew up in East Devon but I live in London now,

0:02:39 > 0:02:42and I work as a software consultant to start-up companies.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49- And you're friends.- That's right.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51How did you meet?

0:02:51 > 0:02:53It was in our first week of university.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57We studied together and we met on the first week, got along pretty well.

0:02:57 > 0:02:59- Where did you go to university? - Cambridge.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02- We were both at King's College, Cambridge.- You were both at King's?

0:03:02 > 0:03:05- Yep.- Did you sing? Were you choristers?- No, badly.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07I did sing a bit, but not in the proper choir.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10They have a sort of reserve choir they wheel out once a week.

0:03:10 > 0:03:11Reserve choir!

0:03:11 > 0:03:13OK, Hywel. Brilliant.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17Dave and Hywel, welcome. Welcome, all!

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Now, pay attention.

0:03:19 > 0:03:24Here are six cash pods containing amounts ranging from £125 to £2,000.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27The more cash in the pod, the more links holding it.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30You have to cut the links holding the pods

0:03:30 > 0:03:34until they drop into your bank. Here's how you cut the links.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36I'm going to ask you four questions

0:03:36 > 0:03:39and you have to work out what links the answers.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41If you can find that link from the first answer alone,

0:03:41 > 0:03:44you'll be able to cut four of those links...

0:03:44 > 0:03:48if you spot it after the second answer, you can cut three links...

0:03:48 > 0:03:50then two, then one.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53And, of course, the link here is...

0:03:53 > 0:03:54ALL: The Rolling Stones.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59Everybody choruses. Let's cut that link.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04You need to bank as much as you can, cos the team with the least

0:04:04 > 0:04:07amount of money at the end of this round will be going home.

0:04:09 > 0:04:10Let's play The Link.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Stand by. Round one. Here's the first question.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20For four links...

0:04:20 > 0:04:22What is the name of the pink cat

0:04:22 > 0:04:24in the 1970s children's...

0:04:30 > 0:04:32the answer is Custard.

0:04:33 > 0:04:35First clue. What's the link?

0:04:35 > 0:04:39- Biscuits?- Yellow things...

0:04:39 > 0:04:43Yellow things sharks swim in... I think yellow would be too easy.

0:04:43 > 0:04:47- What's the link? - Let's go for...yellow.

0:04:48 > 0:04:53- Yellow things. Sorry. - Is the link...yellow things?!

0:04:54 > 0:04:56No.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Yellow things that shark swim in.

0:04:59 > 0:05:00Outstanding.

0:05:01 > 0:05:06Everyone back in place. Stand by. Your next question for three links.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20It's either tarts or biscuits,

0:05:20 > 0:05:21which is what we say most.

0:05:21 > 0:05:23Custard tart, jam tart...

0:05:23 > 0:05:25But it could be custard cream

0:05:25 > 0:05:27- or jam...thingy.- What's the link?

0:05:28 > 0:05:29Tarts.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34Is the link tarts?

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Yes.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42The remaining clues were...

0:05:45 > 0:05:46You got that on the second clue,

0:05:46 > 0:05:48which means you can cut three links.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51How do you want to use your three links?

0:05:51 > 0:05:53I think it would be sensible to get

0:05:53 > 0:05:55some money in the bank. Get the 500.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58- If we can use all three on the 500, please, Mark?- Agreed.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02OK, let's cut those three links from the 500 pod, releasing it...

0:06:05 > 0:06:09..in a yellow way, a yellow sharky way.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21The three US states

0:06:21 > 0:06:22beginning with the letter "O"

0:06:30 > 0:06:32There's your first clue. What's the link?

0:06:33 > 0:06:35What kind of things are in Ohio?

0:06:35 > 0:06:37Besides a river, that's also a song.

0:06:37 > 0:06:40Banks of the Old Ohio

0:07:14 > 0:07:16OK, it seems we can't say American states

0:07:16 > 0:07:19since I think that was the first question,

0:07:19 > 0:07:22so is it people who've won the Super Bowl?

0:07:22 > 0:07:25Cos that's something the UK guys might be interested in.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27San Francisco 49ers have,

0:07:27 > 0:07:29don't know about Ohio...

0:07:29 > 0:07:30They haven't.

0:07:30 > 0:07:31Anything else?

0:07:31 > 0:07:32- I can't think of anything.- OK.

0:07:32 > 0:07:33We'll go for

0:07:33 > 0:07:35teams that have won the Super Bowl.

0:07:35 > 0:07:38Is the link teams that have won the Super Bowl?

0:08:03 > 0:08:05- with the theory about...- No.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07What about battles?

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Possibly. I don't know.

0:08:54 > 0:08:58No-one gets the chance to guess that link, so we move on.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36That's good, yeah.

0:09:36 > 0:09:38Plaster of Paris... Probably not!

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Different types of plaster!

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Paris, Racket, what's the link?

0:10:06 > 0:10:09We were thinking Michael Jackson's children initially.

0:10:09 > 0:10:10I don't think he has a kid called Racket.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12I'm not sure he went as far as Racket,

0:10:12 > 0:10:14although it wouldn't surprise us. Er...

0:10:14 > 0:10:16Paris, like a word afterwards. Racket...

0:10:18 > 0:10:20- What's the link?- No idea, sorry.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Yeah, we don't have a link at the moment, sorry.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55Paris, Racket, Rafa Nadal. What's the link?

0:10:55 > 0:10:58Um, I... That was an entire guess. I don't know anything about sport.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26- Yes, please. - All right, let's cut those.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32APPLAUSE

0:26:01 > 0:26:03- Thank you very much. - Thank you.- Goodbye.

0:26:03 > 0:26:05APPLAUSE

0:26:09 > 0:26:10Andy and Mike...

0:26:11 > 0:26:14..Dave and Hywel,

0:26:14 > 0:26:16you're still in the game.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19Andy and Mike, you've banked £800,

0:26:19 > 0:26:22Dave and Hywel, you've banked £3,875.

0:26:22 > 0:26:25That money is now in these two cash pods.

0:26:25 > 0:26:26Each held by seven links.

0:26:26 > 0:26:29The first team to cut all the links and release their cash pod

0:26:29 > 0:26:32takes their money through to the final round.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34The other team will be out.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37And now you can be as brave or as cautious as you like

0:26:37 > 0:26:41because you decide how many links you want to cut.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44I'm going to ask you to identify a person, place or thing

0:26:44 > 0:26:46from a series of clues, and you tell me

0:26:46 > 0:26:51whether you want to play for one, two, three or four links.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54But the more links you play for, the fewer clues you'll receive.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57We'll start with the team who has brought the most money

0:26:57 > 0:27:00through to this round, and that is Dave and Hywel.

0:27:03 > 0:27:06Round Two. The first question is asking...

0:27:07 > 0:27:10What am I? How many links?

0:27:10 > 0:27:13- I think, shall we play it safe and go for two?- Yeah, OK.

0:27:13 > 0:27:16- That sounds good to me. - For two links here are your clues.

0:27:34 > 0:27:40Ah, I've a feeling this could be the Oxford Cambridge Boat Race maybe?

0:27:40 > 0:27:42- Oh, wow, yeah. - But I don't know for certain.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45That sounds, I mean, it fits all the clues, doesn't it? I like it.

0:27:45 > 0:27:47Erm, the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Am I the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race?

0:27:52 > 0:27:53No.

0:27:54 > 0:27:58So, Andy and Mike, you have a chance to nick a link.

0:27:58 > 0:28:00You will see the remaining clue

0:28:00 > 0:28:03for the chance to cut a single link from your cash pod.

0:28:03 > 0:28:04And it is...

0:28:09 > 0:28:13- Grand National.- Yeah, erm, we're going to say the Grand National.

0:28:14 > 0:28:16Am I the Grand National?

0:28:19 > 0:28:21APPLAUSE

0:28:23 > 0:28:26Right. Correct, you have nicked a link.

0:28:26 > 0:28:30That means you can cut one link from your pod.

0:28:33 > 0:28:34And it's now your go.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38Your question will be asking...

0:28:38 > 0:28:40What am I?

0:28:40 > 0:28:42- How many links, Andy and Mike? - Go for two?- Yeah.

0:28:42 > 0:28:45We're going to follow suit and go for two links, please, Mark.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48For two links, your clues. What am I?

0:29:09 > 0:29:12- I'm thinking, like, the Queen's Speech.- OK, so we're thinking...

0:29:12 > 0:29:13King or Queen's Speech.

0:29:13 > 0:29:16The King or Queen's Speech, so the Royal Christmas Message, I guess,

0:29:16 > 0:29:18is the all-encompassing way of saying it.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20Er, the Royal Christmas Message please.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22Am I the Royal Christmas Message?

0:29:26 > 0:29:28Oh, word for word.

0:29:47 > 0:29:49Dave, Hywel...

0:29:49 > 0:29:51your question will be asking...

0:29:53 > 0:29:55Who am I? How many links?

0:29:55 > 0:30:00- I'd say two links this time.- I think two, yeah.- Two links please.

0:30:00 > 0:30:03For two links, your clues. Who am I?

0:30:27 > 0:30:31He would have been quite a good Han Solo. He won an Oscar.

0:30:35 > 0:30:36DAVE CHUCKLES

0:30:39 > 0:30:41Am I Anthony Hopkins?

0:30:43 > 0:30:46No. Andy and Mike, you have a chance to nick a link.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48You will see the remaining clue, which is...?

0:30:55 > 0:30:56Who am I?

0:30:56 > 0:30:58- Al Pacino.- Al Pacino.

0:31:04 > 0:31:09but was first nominated for The Godfather.

0:31:09 > 0:31:11That's right, you have nicked a link.

0:31:11 > 0:31:14That means we can cut one link from your pod...

0:31:16 > 0:31:20..leaving three links, and it is your turn.

0:31:20 > 0:31:21Your question will be asking...

0:31:23 > 0:31:25Who am I? How many links?

0:31:25 > 0:31:28Erm, it's tempting to go for three links, Mark,

0:31:28 > 0:31:31- but we'll play it a little bit safe and go for two links, yeah?- Yeah.

0:31:31 > 0:31:34OK, you're going for two links.

0:31:34 > 0:31:37Your clues are, who am I?

0:31:57 > 0:31:59- Who am I?- No, no.

0:31:59 > 0:32:02It's, erm, if I didn't get this, my wife Kate would divorce me.

0:32:03 > 0:32:07I know, especially with her being pregnant and everything.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12- What did I just say? - Jane Austen.- Jane Austen, sorry.

0:32:33 > 0:32:35One link remaining.

0:32:37 > 0:32:38Seven links.

0:32:40 > 0:32:43Dave and Hywel, your question will be asking...

0:32:44 > 0:32:45What am I?

0:32:47 > 0:32:48How many links?

0:32:49 > 0:32:52There's a range of different things we could do here.

0:32:52 > 0:32:55- I think you've got to go three or four. I'd go four.- Shall we go four?

0:32:55 > 0:32:58- We've got no chance otherwise, have we?- Yeah, OK, let's go for four.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01For four links here are your clues.

0:33:55 > 0:33:57I like that.

0:33:57 > 0:34:00Yes, the Amazon rainforest. Let's cut those four links.

0:34:06 > 0:34:09That's looking a bit healthier.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12However, Andy and Mike, your turn now.

0:34:21 > 0:34:22Erm, one.

0:34:22 > 0:34:25We can't store them so we'll go for one.

0:34:25 > 0:34:28OK. So for, erm, one link, stand by.

0:34:28 > 0:34:30Here are your clues.

0:34:56 > 0:34:59OK, I think we got it from the Blondie song, erm, and it would be

0:34:59 > 0:35:02an epic fail if we didn't, so we'll go with Sunday please.

0:35:39 > 0:35:43- MARK EXHALES - Dave, Hywel.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46How can you come through with £3,875

0:35:46 > 0:35:49and not continue to the final round?

0:35:49 > 0:35:51We were beaten by the better people, so...

0:35:51 > 0:35:54- Yeah, they were better than us. - Debatable.

0:35:54 > 0:35:55That's a really generous thing to say,

0:35:55 > 0:35:58and, unfortunately, you're right.

0:35:58 > 0:36:00- But... - LAUGHTER

0:36:00 > 0:36:03..getting four links on rainforest, that was very good.

0:36:03 > 0:36:07It just wasn't enough to save you. We enjoyed having you on The Link.

0:36:07 > 0:36:10- Dave and Hywel, goodbye. - See you later.

0:36:12 > 0:36:14APPLAUSE

0:36:38 > 0:36:41- Will you be splitting it, or...? - We'd obviously split it 50/50.

0:36:41 > 0:36:44If I was lucky enough to win something,

0:36:44 > 0:36:46I'd like to take my son Nathan to a trip to London.

0:36:46 > 0:36:49- Good.- He's always wanted to go so splash a bit of cash...

0:36:49 > 0:36:52What does he want to see? Is it something he's got in his mind?

0:36:54 > 0:36:56He wants to go to the biggest toy shop there is, he wants to go

0:36:56 > 0:36:58and see Buck Palace, all the sights.

0:36:58 > 0:37:01OK, he wants to go to get some toys. Good. Well, Andy.

0:37:01 > 0:37:04Pretty much the same, but, for me, we've said that after we've

0:37:07 > 0:37:10and I get to go to the biggest comic book store in the world.

0:37:10 > 0:37:12So pretty much like Nathan but slightly taller.

0:37:12 > 0:37:16OK, that's very clear. And I support you wholeheartedly.

0:37:16 > 0:37:17- Thank you.- Good.

0:37:17 > 0:37:22But to take that money home you have just 60 seconds to find six

0:37:22 > 0:37:24super links. At each level you'll need to identify

0:37:24 > 0:37:26the link between 10 one-word clues.
