Hello. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:19 | |
I'm Mark Williams and welcome to The Link, | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
where knowing the answers is only half the battle. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:24 | |
To win this game, you have to find the link BETWEEN the answers. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
Three teams are hoping to make the right connections, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
but only one of them can be in today's final. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
Let's see who's jumping with judicious judgement. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:38 | |
I'm Andy, I come from the Wirral, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
I'm a complaints prevention manager, | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
and I do compering in my spare time. And this is my friend. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
I'm Mike, I'm a strategic operations analyst | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |
and I'm also from the Wirral. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:51 | |
Two job descriptions there about which I have no idea. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:59 | |
-And neither do we. -Neither do you! Andy, you... | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
-Have you got anything to tell me about The Fourth Plinth? -Yes. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
A couple of years ago, I was fortunate enough to be chosen | 0:01:07 | 0:01:09 | |
to stand on The Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
It's part of Antony Gormley's art exhibition at the time, | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
where you had to spend an hour on the plinth doing whatever, | 0:01:14 | 0:01:18 | |
-literally whatever you wanted to. -So what were you doing? | 0:01:18 | 0:01:21 | |
I stood up there dressed as Judge Dredd, | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
who's my favourite comic character. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
I talked about why I'm a geek, and I'll be honest with you, | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
it was one of the least weird things that happened | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
on the plinth on those 30 days, so, yeah. | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
-Right. -Although a bit hot in the leather. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
So, Mike, you're still friends with him despite that... | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
Despite all the leather that he dresses up in. Yeah, still friends. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
-Fantastic. Alison and Chloe, tell us about yourselves. -I'm Alison. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
I'm a children's community nurse, I'm from Birmingham, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
and this is my daughter. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
I'm Chloe, I'm from Walsall, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:53 | |
and I'm currently studying medical sciences at uni. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
Mother and daughter... | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
-Can you not tell the family resemblance? -I can. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
You say Walsall and you say Birmingham. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
-Because I'm a Brummie and we moved to Walsall. -Oh, OK. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
She was born in Walsall. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
-IN BRUMMIE: -So I can't talk proper... | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
-OWN ACCENT: -..but she can, so it's OK. -You can't half. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
I'm multilingual. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:18 | |
The difference is, of course, Birmingham and the Black Country, | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
two very discreet and separate cultures. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
-Should not be mixed up. -No. Remember that. All right? | 0:02:25 | 0:02:29 | |
Dave and Hywel. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
I'm David and I'm an assistant head teacher, | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
and I'm from Yorkshire, and this is my friend. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
I'm Hywel, I grew up in East Devon but I live in London now, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:39 | |
and I work as a software consultant to start-up companies. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
-And you're friends. -That's right. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
How did you meet? | 0:02:49 | 0:02:51 | |
It was in our first week of university. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:53 | |
We studied together and we met on the first week, got along pretty well. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
-Where did you go to university? -Cambridge. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
-We were both at King's College, Cambridge. -You were both at King's? | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
-Yep. -Did you sing? Were you choristers? -No, badly. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
I did sing a bit, but not in the proper choir. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
They have a sort of reserve choir they wheel out once a week. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
Reserve choir! | 0:03:10 | 0:03:11 | |
OK, Hywel. Brilliant. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
Dave and Hywel, welcome. Welcome, all! | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
Now, pay attention. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
Here are six cash pods containing amounts ranging from £125 to £2,000. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:24 | |
The more cash in the pod, the more links holding it. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
You have to cut the links holding the pods | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
until they drop into your bank. Here's how you cut the links. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
I'm going to ask you four questions | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
and you have to work out what links the answers. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
If you can find that link from the first answer alone, | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
you'll be able to cut four of those links... | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
if you spot it after the second answer, you can cut three links... | 0:03:44 | 0:03:48 | |
then two, then one. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
And, of course, the link here is... | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
ALL: The Rolling Stones. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:54 | |
Everybody choruses. Let's cut that link. | 0:03:57 | 0:03:59 | |
You need to bank as much as you can, cos the team with the least | 0:04:00 | 0:04:04 | |
amount of money at the end of this round will be going home. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
Let's play The Link. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:10 | |
Stand by. Round one. Here's the first question. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:17 | |
For four links... | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
What is the name of the pink cat | 0:04:20 | 0:04:22 | |
in the 1970s children's... | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
BUZZER | 0:04:24 | 0:04:26 | |
-Andy. -Custard. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
..cartoon series Rhubarb - | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
the answer is Custard. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
First clue. What's the link? | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
-Biscuits? -Yellow things... | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
Yellow things sharks swim in... I think yellow would be too easy. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
-What's the link? -Let's go for...yellow. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
-Yellow things. Sorry. -Is the link...yellow things?! | 0:04:48 | 0:04:53 | |
No. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
Yellow things that shark swim in. | 0:04:56 | 0:04:59 | |
Outstanding. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:00 | |
Everyone back in place. Stand by. Your next question for three links. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:06 | |
Going Underground was a number one song... | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
-BUZZER -Andy? | 0:05:08 | 0:05:10 | |
The Jam. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:11 | |

Custard, Jam. What's the link. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
It's either tarts or biscuits, | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
which is what we say most. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:21 | |
Custard tart, jam tart... | 0:05:21 | 0:05:23 | |
But it could be custard cream | 0:05:23 | 0:05:25 | |
-or jam...thingy. -What's the link? | 0:05:25 | 0:05:27 | |
Tarts. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:29 | |
Is the link tarts? | 0:05:32 | 0:05:34 | |
Yes. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
The remaining clues were... | 0:05:40 | 0:05:42 | |
You got that on the second clue, | 0:05:45 | 0:05:46 | |
which means you can cut three links. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
How do you want to use your three links? | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
I think it would be sensible to get | 0:05:51 | 0:05:53 | |
some money in the bank. Get the 500. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
-If we can use all three on the 500, please, Mark? -Agreed. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
OK, let's cut those three links from the 500 pod, releasing it... | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
..in a yellow way, a yellow sharky way. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:09 | |
£500. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:10 | |
Lots still up there. Stand by, for four links. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
The three US states | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
beginning with the letter "O" | 0:06:21 | 0:06:22 | |

Banks of the Old Ohio | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
is a song by Olivia Newton John. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:44 | |
-Is it?! -Yes. -OK. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
Olivia Newton John. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:47 | |
Is the link Olivia Newton John? | 0:06:47 | 0:06:50 | |
No. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
Everyone is back in play. Stand by. Your next question. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |

What's the link? | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
OK, it seems we can't say American states | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
since I think that was the first question, | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
so is it people who've won the Super Bowl? | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
Cos that's something the UK guys might be interested in. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
San Francisco 49ers have, | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
don't know about Ohio... | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
They haven't. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:30 | |
Anything else? | 0:07:30 | 0:07:31 | |
-I can't think of anything. -OK. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:32 | |
We'll go for | 0:07:32 | 0:07:33 | |
teams that have won the Super Bowl. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
Is the link teams that have won the Super Bowl? | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
Nope. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:42 | |
All back in play. Stand by. For two links... | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |

What's the link? | 0:07:59 | 0:08:00 | |
I don't know whether that helps | 0:08:01 | 0:08:03 | |
-with the theory about... -No. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:05 | |
What about battles? | 0:08:05 | 0:08:07 | |
Possibly. I don't know. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:09 | |
I was thinking west coast, | 0:08:09 | 0:08:10 | |
unless I'm completely wrong. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
You choose. Go on. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
West coast? | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
Of America... | 0:08:16 | 0:08:17 | |
Is the link the west coast of America? | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
Nope. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:22 | |
All back in play. For one link, stand by. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
What was the title of the last film | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |

-BUZZER -Andy? | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
Um... I think... | 0:08:34 | 0:08:35 | |

Some Like It Hot? | 0:08:40 | 0:08:41 | |
Is wrong. Alison and Chloe? | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
-Can't remember. -I don't know any. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:45 | |
You don't know ANY Marilyn Monroe films apart... | 0:08:45 | 0:08:47 | |
Some Like It Hot. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:49 | |
-Yeah. No, sorry. -The answer was... | 0:08:49 | 0:08:51 | |
No-one gets the chance to guess that link, so we move on. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:58 | |
The answer would have been... | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
Born Ohio, San Francisco - film, | 0:09:04 | 0:09:06 | |
Gone With The Wind - film, | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |

-BUZZER -Hywel. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
Paris. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:22 | |
Charles de Gaulle Airport serves Paris. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
First clue. What's the link? | 0:09:26 | 0:09:28 | |
The Trojan War? | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |
Yeah, could be. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:31 | |
It seems the right kind of... | 0:09:31 | 0:09:32 | |
It could be Hilton, heiresses. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
That's good, yeah. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:36 | |
Plaster of Paris... Probably not! | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
Different types of plaster! | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
It's the Trojan War. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:42 | |
Yeah. | 0:09:42 | 0:09:44 | |
Is it The Trojan War? | 0:09:44 | 0:09:45 | |
No, it's not. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:48 | |
All back in play. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
Stand by. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:52 | |
Next question for three links. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
In badminton or squash, what implement is used to strike... | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
-BUZZER -Mike. | 0:09:58 | 0:09:59 | |
Rackets. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:00 | |
To strike the shuttlecock or ball. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
Racket is correct. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
Paris, Racket, what's the link? | 0:10:04 | 0:10:06 | |
We were thinking Michael Jackson's children initially. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:09 | |
I don't think he has a kid called Racket. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:10 | |
I'm not sure he went as far as Racket, | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
although it wouldn't surprise us. Er... | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
Paris, like a word afterwards. Racket... | 0:10:14 | 0:10:16 | |
-What's the link? -No idea, sorry. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
Yeah, we don't have a link at the moment, sorry. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:22 | |
Michael Jackson's children. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:23 | |
OK, Michael Jackson's children. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
Is the link Michael Jackson's children? | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
No. I would like to meet Racket Jackson... | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:10:32 | 0:10:33 | |
..but that's not going to happen. | 0:10:33 | 0:10:34 | |
Everyone back in play. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
Stand by. For two links... | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
which player won his first Wimbledon men's singles title in 2008? | 0:10:38 | 0:10:43 | |
BUZZER | 0:10:43 | 0:10:44 | |
Andy. | 0:10:44 | 0:10:46 | |
-Rafael Nadal? -In 2008... | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
Rafa Nadal, correct. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
Paris, Racket, Rafa Nadal. What's the link? | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
Um, I... That was an entire guess. I don't know anything about sport. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
I'm guessing it's the tennis tournament in Paris, probably. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
-The French Open? -Which I'm guessing is the French Open. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
So we'll say the French Open, please. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:05 | |
Is the link the French Open? | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
The last clue was... | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
Yes, clay court. OK. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:19 | |
How do you want to use your two links? | 0:11:19 | 0:11:21 | |
I think we'll go for the 300. Both on the 300, please, Mark. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
-Yes, please. -All right, let's cut those. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
Andy and Mike on £800. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:35 | |
Alison, Chloe, yet to bank. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |
Dave and Hywel yet to bank. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:40 | |
However, Andy and Mike, you're still not necessarily through. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |

-We could only get 125, so we thought we'd spread out the other two. -OK. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:15 | |

APPLAUSE | 0:23:13 | 0:23:16 | |
SPEECH DROWNED BY APPLAUSE | 0:23:16 | 0:23:18 | |
The remaining clues would have been... | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
How do you want to use your three links? | 0:23:24 | 0:23:26 | |
Big debate(!) | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
-All on the 2,000, I think. -Yeah. -Right. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
Let's do it. | 0:23:31 | 0:23:32 | |
Satisfying splosh there. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:39 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:23:39 | 0:23:41 | |
Which means, Dave and Hywel, you have £2,875 in your bank, | 0:23:43 | 0:23:47 | |
so you are guaranteed to go through to the next round. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
Alison and Chloe, Andy and Mike, | 0:23:50 | 0:23:52 | |
there is £1,000 there with only three links. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:55 | |
You're all back in play. Stand by. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:58 | |
For four links... | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
..which Hunter S Thompson novel is subtitled...? | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
-BUZZER -Dave. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:07 | |
Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:09 | |
Is correct. | 0:24:10 | 0:24:11 | |
Which Hunter S Thompson novel is subtitled | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
"A Savage Journey To The Heart Of The American Dream"? | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:20 | |
Right, first clue. Link? | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
Yeah, it's got Johnny Depp in it, I think. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:27 | |
-So it could be Johnny Depp films. -Has it? Wow. OK. | 0:24:27 | 0:24:29 | |
Er, that would be the only thing I can think of. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:32 | |
Um, it's Johnny Depp films. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:34 | |
Is the link Johnny Depp films? | 0:24:34 | 0:24:37 | |
-Oh, my word. That's unbelievable. -APPLAUSE | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
Yes. Johnny Depp. We'll give you that. | 0:24:42 | 0:24:44 | |
The remaining clues were... | 0:24:44 | 0:24:46 | |
Johnny Depp, he starred in Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
he had two children with Vanessa Paradis, | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
he played Tonto in The Lone Ranger | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
and he's Tim Burton's muse. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
Right. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:03 | |
You've got four links. What are you going to do with them? | 0:25:03 | 0:25:06 | |
LAUGHTER We'll 'ave it! | 0:25:06 | 0:25:07 | |
Bearing in mind you can't save one! | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
OK, let's cut the links on the pod. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
And that empty screen | 0:25:16 | 0:25:19 | |
means that Dave and Hywel have got £3,875 | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
and are through the next round. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
Andy and Mike have got £800 and are through to the next round. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:28 | |
Alison and Chloe... | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
don't get off the starting block. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:34 | |
But... | 0:25:34 | 0:25:35 | |
-We had a good go. -You did have a good go, ah. | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
-We tried our best. -I thought you played really well. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
I actually think, and excuse me, chaps, you were a bit unlucky there. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:44 | |
Well...we've been paired against Cambridge graduates | 0:25:44 | 0:25:47 | |
and people that just know everything. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:48 | |
I tell you, I went to Oxford. It doesn't mean a thing! | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
And the compere is a Villa supporter! | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
Soz. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
Look, thanks ever so much for playing. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
You were really great contestants. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
Alison and Chloe, thank you for playing The Link. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
-Thank you very much. -Thank you. -Goodbye. | 0:26:01 | 0:26:03 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
Andy and Mike... | 0:26:09 | 0:26:10 | |
..Dave and Hywel, | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
you're still in the game. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
Andy and Mike, you've banked £800, | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
Dave and Hywel, you've banked £3,875. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
That money is now in these two cash pods. | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
Each held by seven links. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:26 | |
The first team to cut all the links and release their cash pod | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
takes their money through to the final round. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
The other team will be out. | 0:26:32 | 0:26:34 | |
And now you can be as brave or as cautious as you like | 0:26:34 | 0:26:37 | |
because you decide how many links you want to cut. | 0:26:37 | 0:26:41 | |
I'm going to ask you to identify a person, place or thing | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
from a series of clues, and you tell me | 0:26:44 | 0:26:46 | |
whether you want to play for one, two, three or four links. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:51 | |
But the more links you play for, the fewer clues you'll receive. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
We'll start with the team who has brought the most money | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
through to this round, and that is Dave and Hywel. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:00 | |
Round Two. The first question is asking... | 0:27:03 | 0:27:06 | |
What am I? How many links? | 0:27:07 | 0:27:10 | |
-I think, shall we play it safe and go for two? -Yeah, OK. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
-That sounds good to me. -For two links here are your clues. | 0:27:13 | 0:27:16 | |
Ah, I've a feeling this could be the Oxford Cambridge Boat Race maybe? | 0:27:34 | 0:27:40 | |
-Oh, wow, yeah. -But I don't know for certain. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:42 | |
That sounds, I mean, it fits all the clues, doesn't it? I like it. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:45 | |
Erm, the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:47 | |
Am I the Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race? | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
No. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:53 | |
So, Andy and Mike, you have a chance to nick a link. | 0:27:54 | 0:27:58 | |
You will see the remaining clue | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 | |
for the chance to cut a single link from your cash pod. | 0:28:00 | 0:28:03 | |
And it is... | 0:28:03 | 0:28:04 | |
-Grand National. -Yeah, erm, we're going to say the Grand National. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:13 | |
Am I the Grand National? | 0:28:14 | 0:28:16 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:28:19 | 0:28:21 | |
Right. Correct, you have nicked a link. | 0:28:23 | 0:28:26 | |
That means you can cut one link from your pod. | 0:28:26 | 0:28:30 | |
And it's now your go. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:34 | |
Your question will be asking... | 0:28:35 | 0:28:38 | |
What am I? | 0:28:38 | 0:28:40 | |
-How many links, Andy and Mike? -Go for two? -Yeah. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:42 | |
We're going to follow suit and go for two links, please, Mark. | 0:28:42 | 0:28:45 | |
For two links, your clues. What am I? | 0:28:45 | 0:28:48 | |
-I'm thinking, like, the Queen's Speech. -OK, so we're thinking... | 0:29:09 | 0:29:12 | |
King or Queen's Speech. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:13 | |
The King or Queen's Speech, so the Royal Christmas Message, I guess, | 0:29:13 | 0:29:16 | |
is the all-encompassing way of saying it. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:18 | |
Er, the Royal Christmas Message please. | 0:29:18 | 0:29:20 | |
Am I the Royal Christmas Message? | 0:29:20 | 0:29:22 | |
Oh, word for word. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:28 | |

Stand by. | 0:29:37 | 0:29:38 | |
Word perfect there. Let's cut those links. | 0:29:38 | 0:29:42 | |
Four remaining. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:47 | |
Dave, Hywel... | 0:29:47 | 0:29:49 | |
your question will be asking... | 0:29:49 | 0:29:51 | |
Who am I? How many links? | 0:29:53 | 0:29:55 | |
-I'd say two links this time. -I think two, yeah. -Two links please. | 0:29:55 | 0:30:00 | |
For two links, your clues. Who am I? | 0:30:00 | 0:30:03 | |
Oh, dear. I don't... | 0:30:21 | 0:30:23 | |
Who's the guy who plays Hannibal Lecter? Anthony Hopkins. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:27 | |
He would have been quite a good Han Solo. He won an Oscar. | 0:30:27 | 0:30:31 | |
-Yeah, plays creepy old men now, doesn't he? -Who am I? -Erm... | 0:30:31 | 0:30:35 | |
DAVE CHUCKLES | 0:30:35 | 0:30:36 | |
Erm, Anthony Hopkins. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:39 | |
Am I Anthony Hopkins? | 0:30:39 | 0:30:41 | |
No. Andy and Mike, you have a chance to nick a link. | 0:30:43 | 0:30:46 | |
You will see the remaining clue, which is...? | 0:30:46 | 0:30:48 | |
Who am I? | 0:30:55 | 0:30:56 | |
-Al Pacino. -Al Pacino. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:58 | |
Am I Al Pacino? | 0:30:58 | 0:30:59 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:31:01 | 0:31:03 | |
He won for Scent of a Woman | 0:31:03 | 0:31:04 | |
but was first nominated for The Godfather. | 0:31:04 | 0:31:09 | |
That's right, you have nicked a link. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:11 | |
That means we can cut one link from your pod... | 0:31:11 | 0:31:14 | |
..leaving three links, and it is your turn. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:20 | |
Your question will be asking... | 0:31:20 | 0:31:21 | |
Who am I? How many links? | 0:31:23 | 0:31:25 | |
Erm, it's tempting to go for three links, Mark, | 0:31:25 | 0:31:28 | |
-but we'll play it a little bit safe and go for two links, yeah? -Yeah. | 0:31:28 | 0:31:31 | |
OK, you're going for two links. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
Your clues are, who am I? | 0:31:34 | 0:31:37 | |
-Who am I? -No, no. | 0:31:57 | 0:31:59 | |
It's, erm, if I didn't get this, my wife Kate would divorce me. | 0:31:59 | 0:32:02 | |
Better get it right, then. | 0:32:02 | 0:32:03 | |
I know, especially with her being pregnant and everything. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:07 | |
The answer is, er... | 0:32:07 | 0:32:09 | |
-What did I just say? -Jane Austen. -Jane Austen, sorry. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:12 | |
Jane Austen, and I promise I'll watch the film with her. | 0:32:12 | 0:32:14 | |
Your wife's pregnant, not you. Am I Jane Austen? | 0:32:14 | 0:32:17 | |
-Yeah, thank God. -The remaining clue was... | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
Let's cut those two links. | 0:32:28 | 0:32:30 | |
One link remaining. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:35 | |
Seven links. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:38 | |
Dave and Hywel, your question will be asking... | 0:32:40 | 0:32:43 | |
What am I? | 0:32:44 | 0:32:45 | |
How many links? | 0:32:47 | 0:32:48 | |
There's a range of different things we could do here. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:52 | |
-I think you've got to go three or four. I'd go four. -Shall we go four? | 0:32:52 | 0:32:55 | |
-We've got no chance otherwise, have we? -Yeah, OK, let's go for four. | 0:32:55 | 0:32:58 | |
For four links here are your clues. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:01 | |
What am I? | 0:33:01 | 0:33:03 | |
Oh, he's a rainforest charity person, so is it something like Amazon? | 0:33:11 | 0:33:17 | |
-Amazon would be... -Yeah, yeah, the Amazon, yeah. | 0:33:17 | 0:33:20 | |
So the Amazon rainforest or Amazon. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:24 | |
Am I the Amazon rainforest? | 0:33:25 | 0:33:27 | |
Whoa. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:33 | |
APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH | 0:33:33 | 0:33:35 | |
Yes, correct. | 0:33:38 | 0:33:40 | |
The remaining clues would have been... | 0:33:41 | 0:33:43 | |
Pink dolphins, I didn't know that. | 0:33:53 | 0:33:55 | |
I like that. | 0:33:55 | 0:33:57 | |
Yes, the Amazon rainforest. Let's cut those four links. | 0:33:57 | 0:34:00 | |
That's looking a bit healthier. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:09 | |
However, Andy and Mike, your turn now. | 0:34:09 | 0:34:12 | |
Your question will be asking... | 0:34:12 | 0:34:14 | |
What am I? How many links? | 0:34:15 | 0:34:18 | |
Erm, we only need the one so we'll... | 0:34:18 | 0:34:21 | |
Erm, one. | 0:34:21 | 0:34:22 | |
We can't store them so we'll go for one. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:25 | |
OK. So for, erm, one link, stand by. | 0:34:25 | 0:34:28 | |
Here are your clues. | 0:34:28 | 0:34:30 | |
OK, I think we got it from the Blondie song, erm, and it would be | 0:34:56 | 0:34:59 | |
an epic fail if we didn't, so we'll go with Sunday please. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:02 | |
Am I Sunday? | 0:35:03 | 0:35:05 | |

You're through to the final round and that cash goes with you. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:39 | |
-MARK EXHALES -Dave, Hywel. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:43 | |
How can you come through with £3,875 | 0:35:43 | 0:35:46 | |
and not continue to the final round? | 0:35:46 | 0:35:49 | |
We were beaten by the better people, so... | 0:35:49 | 0:35:51 | |
-Yeah, they were better than us. -Debatable. | 0:35:51 | 0:35:54 | |
That's a really generous thing to say, | 0:35:54 | 0:35:55 | |
and, unfortunately, you're right. | 0:35:55 | 0:35:58 | |
-But... -LAUGHTER | 0:35:58 | 0:36:00 | |
..getting four links on rainforest, that was very good. | 0:36:00 | 0:36:03 | |
It just wasn't enough to save you. We enjoyed having you on The Link. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:07 | |
-Dave and Hywel, goodbye. -See you later. | 0:36:07 | 0:36:10 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:36:12 | 0:36:14 | |

You've brought through £800 | 0:36:16 | 0:36:19 | |
and we're adding £2,000 to that... | 0:36:19 | 0:36:21 | |
..making your maximum win today £2,800. | 0:36:23 | 0:36:27 | |

THEY LAUGH | 0:36:31 | 0:36:32 | |
Don't be thanking me yet. | 0:36:32 | 0:36:34 | |
So, erm, what are you going to do with your £2,800? | 0:36:34 | 0:36:38 | |
-Will you be splitting it, or...? -We'd obviously split it 50/50. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:41 | |
If I was lucky enough to win something, | 0:36:41 | 0:36:44 | |
I'd like to take my son Nathan to a trip to London. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:46 | |
-Good. -He's always wanted to go so splash a bit of cash... | 0:36:46 | 0:36:49 | |
What does he want to see? Is it something he's got in his mind? | 0:36:49 | 0:36:52 | |
He just wants to see everything. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:54 | |
He wants to go to the biggest toy shop there is, he wants to go | 0:36:54 | 0:36:56 | |
and see Buck Palace, all the sights. | 0:36:56 | 0:36:58 | |
OK, he wants to go to get some toys. Good. Well, Andy. | 0:36:58 | 0:37:01 | |
Pretty much the same, but, for me, we've said that after we've | 0:37:01 | 0:37:04 | |
had the baby we've always wanted to go to New York. | 0:37:04 | 0:37:06 | |
So maybe go to New York | 0:37:06 | 0:37:07 | |
and I get to go to the biggest comic book store in the world. | 0:37:07 | 0:37:10 | |
So pretty much like Nathan but slightly taller. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:12 | |
OK, that's very clear. And I support you wholeheartedly. | 0:37:12 | 0:37:16 | |
-Thank you. -Good. | 0:37:16 | 0:37:17 | |
But to take that money home you have just 60 seconds to find six | 0:37:17 | 0:37:22 | |
super links. At each level you'll need to identify | 0:37:22 | 0:37:24 | |
the link between 10 one-word clues. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:26 | |
As soon as you think you know the answer, | 0:37:26 | 0:37:29 | |
buzz in, we'll stop the clock. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:30 | |
If you're right, you can take that money home, | 0:37:30 | 0:37:32 | |
but choose to play on | 0:37:32 | 0:37:34 | |
and your team-mate will tackle the next super link. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:38 | |
But if you're wrong play stays with you, | 0:37:38 | 0:37:40 | |
we will restart the clock and you'll face a new set of clues. | 0:37:40 | 0:37:44 | |
Run out of time and you leave devoid of additional funds. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:49 | |
-Who's going to play first? -I'll play first, Mark. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:54 | |
OK. OK, Mike. | 0:37:54 | 0:37:56 | |
You're on your own. The clock will start when you see the first clue. | 0:37:56 | 0:37:59 | |
BUZZER | 0:38:09 | 0:38:11 | |
-Mike. -Is it The Addams Family? | 0:38:11 | 0:38:13 | |

£125. Hang in, Mike, | 0:38:32 | 0:38:34 | |
with 53 seconds remaining on the clock you now have a choice. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:37 | |
You can take that money and go or you can play on. | 0:38:37 | 0:38:41 | |
-We've got to play on. -I don't think you'll get to London on that. | 0:38:41 | 0:38:43 | |

The answer was London Underground. | 0:39:25 | 0:39:28 | |
Beck, of course, designed the map. | 0:39:28 | 0:39:31 | |
Which means play stays with you and you face a new super link, Andy. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:37 | |
44 seconds on the clock, which will restart when the first clue appears. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:42 | |

The remaining clue was... | 0:40:56 | 0:40:57 | |

You can take that money and go or you can play on. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:13 | |

Andy, your turn now. The clock will restart when the first clue appears. | 0:41:18 | 0:41:24 | |
BUZZER | 0:41:38 | 0:41:41 | |
-Handy. -Finding Nemo. It took me long enough to find him. | 0:41:41 | 0:41:45 | |
Is the link Finding Nemo? | 0:41:45 | 0:41:47 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:41:48 | 0:41:51 | |
Well done. Dory was the clue that I didn't have the chance to read out. | 0:41:54 | 0:41:58 | |
Yes, Finding Nemo, that puts you on... | 0:41:58 | 0:42:00 | |
£750. With 11 seconds remaining on the clock, you now have the choice. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:07 | |
You can go with that money or stay and play on. | 0:42:07 | 0:42:13 | |
-It would be... -Yeah, we're going to take the money, Mark. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:15 | |
It would be nothing but ridiculous | 0:42:15 | 0:42:17 | |
to walk away from such a great day as today with nothing, erm, | 0:42:17 | 0:42:20 | |
so I think we've both decided to just say thank you very much. | 0:42:20 | 0:42:24 | |
-Good. I'm pleased. -So am I. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:26 | |
If you'd got any further and not got anything | 0:42:26 | 0:42:29 | |
it would have been too painful to bear. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:32 | |
Andy and Mike, you didn't make it to today's top prize, | 0:42:32 | 0:42:36 | |
but you are going home with £750. | 0:42:36 | 0:42:39 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:42:39 | 0:42:41 | |
You might get a trip to London out of that | 0:42:46 | 0:42:48 | |
but I don't think New York is an option. | 0:42:48 | 0:42:50 | |
-I might just Skype it instead. -You're going to Skype it. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:53 | |
