0:00:15 > 0:00:17APPLAUSE
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Hello, I'm Mark Williams, and welcome to The Link,
0:00:20 > 0:00:23where knowing the answers is only half the battle.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27To win this game, you have to find the link between the answers.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29Three teams are hoping to make the right connections,
0:00:29 > 0:00:32but only one of them can be in today's final.
0:00:32 > 0:00:36Let's see who is quick-witted and quizzical.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43I'm Cat, I'm from Birmingham and I'm a travel agent.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45I'm here today with my partner.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48I'm Tom, I'm a radio producer and I'm originally from Wales.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53And the link is of course, as Cat pointed out, you are partners.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55Whereabouts in Birmingham are you from?
0:00:55 > 0:00:58- We actually live in the Jewellery Quarter at the moment.- Very nice.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59Yes.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01You two are accident prone, slightly, aren't you?
0:01:01 > 0:01:04I have a history of hitting my head on hard objects.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- I've split my head open twice. - What about you, Cat?
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Are you a bit accident prone?
0:01:09 > 0:01:13I've had a few accidents that I've managed to get away with so far.
0:01:13 > 0:01:18One of them would be a large object falling on my head, a coconut.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21So, Cat, you're telling me, like in a cartoon,
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- a coconut fell on your head? - Exactly like a cartoon.- That is world-class.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30Good job it wasn't a piano, or more traditionally, a safe.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34- Wow.- Cat and Tom, welcome. - Thank you.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Daryl-Lee and Linda, tell us about yourselves.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42and I'm a secretary and this is my friend.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44I'm Linda, I'm a hypnotherapist,
0:01:44 > 0:01:47and I'm from Cheshunt in Hertfordshire.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Right.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50APPLAUSE
0:01:50 > 0:01:53And the link is you are friends.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57Linda, you said you would like to be on I'm A Celebrity

0:02:01 > 0:02:05- What, you could eat slugs?- Yes.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08So I'm asking you, Linda, could you eat a slug?

0:02:33 > 0:02:35APPLAUSE
0:02:35 > 0:02:36And they are best friends.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38A lot of people have said they are friends,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41but not many people have said they are best friends.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46- So, Paul and Pauline, brilliant. Paul, you knit.- I do.- I can't.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48It's quite simple.
0:02:48 > 0:02:52My granny taught me and it goes in and then I do it for a bit
0:02:52 > 0:02:54and then it just goes.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56You need to try more, Mark.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58LAUGHTER
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- That's me told! Paul and Pauline, welcome.- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06Right, welcome all. Now, pay attention.
0:03:06 > 0:03:12Here are six cash pods containing amounts ranging from £125 to £2,000.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15The more cash in the pod, the more links holding it.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18What you have to do is cut the links holding the pods
0:03:18 > 0:03:21until they drop into your bank.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23And here's how you cut the links.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I'm going to ask you four questions
0:03:25 > 0:03:28and you have to work out what links the answers.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32If you can find that link from the first answer alone you'll be
0:03:32 > 0:03:35able to cut four of those links.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38If you spot it after the second answer, you can cut three links,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41then two, then one.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45And of course the link here is...
0:03:45 > 0:03:46ALL: Sun.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Good. Very good. Let's cut that link.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55OK.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57You need to bank as much as you can because the team with
0:03:57 > 0:04:03- the least amount of money at the end of this round will be going home. - Oh.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Let's play The Link.

0:33:56 > 0:33:58Play for three, please.
0:33:58 > 0:34:01For three links, here are your clues, what am I?
0:34:18 > 0:34:20I think it's the Declaration of Independence.
0:34:20 > 0:34:22Declaration of Independence.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26Am I the Declaration of Independence?
0:34:29 > 0:34:30APPLAUSE
0:34:31 > 0:34:33The remaining clues were...
0:34:45 > 0:34:49Yes, the US Declaration of Independence.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52Right, OK, let's put you out your misery and cut those links.
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Two left. Now, let's plunge you further into misery because...
0:35:00 > 0:35:01LAUGHTER
0:35:01 > 0:35:04..DarylLee and Linda have one link left.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06Your question we'll be asking...
0:35:09 > 0:35:13- How many links?- One, please.- One.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16For one link... Here are your clues - what am I?
0:35:40 > 0:35:42I'm... Ben Nevis.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44Am I Ben Nevis?
0:35:48 > 0:35:50LAUGHTER
0:35:50 > 0:35:53- Ben Nevis...- I thought I was wrong!- ..chief of the Munros.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Let's cut the final link.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59There we go.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03Well done, DarylLee and Linda. You're through to the
0:36:03 > 0:36:06final round and that cash goes with you.
0:36:06 > 0:36:07Cat and Tom...
0:36:07 > 0:36:09TOM SIGHS
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Did you feel like you acquitted yourself with honour?
0:36:12 > 0:36:15The first round didn't go quite to plan but we managed to get
0:36:15 > 0:36:17back there, but the second round was tough.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20- Just some of them were right there but it's just under pressure... - Yeah.
0:36:20 > 0:36:22SHE CHUCKLES
0:36:22 > 0:36:25Cat and Tom, goodbye and thanks for playing The Link.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26Thank you.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32Daryl-Lee and Linda, you are today's finalists.
0:36:32 > 0:36:36You've brought through £1,750.
0:36:36 > 0:36:38And we're adding £2,000 to that...
0:36:40 > 0:36:45So, your maximum win today could be £3,750.
0:36:46 > 0:36:49APPLAUSE
0:36:49 > 0:36:53- So, what would you do with it? - A holiday, probably.- OK.
0:36:53 > 0:36:58- Linda?- Erm, mine would probably be a holiday as well.- Together?
0:36:58 > 0:36:59No.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02LAUGHTER
0:37:02 > 0:37:04What, not after this endurance test?
0:37:04 > 0:37:07All right, good luck.
0:37:07 > 0:37:08- Thank you.- Thank you.
0:37:08 > 0:37:12Because, to take that money home, you have just 60 seconds to find
0:37:12 > 0:37:14six super-links.
0:37:14 > 0:37:15At each level,
0:37:15 > 0:37:19you'll need to identify the link between ten one-word clues.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21As soon as you think you know the answer,
0:37:21 > 0:37:23buzz in and we'll stop the clock.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26If you're right, you can take that money home, but choose to
0:37:26 > 0:37:30play on and your team-mate will tackle the next super-link,
0:37:30 > 0:37:33but if you're wrong, play stays with you.
0:37:33 > 0:37:36We will restart the clock and you'll face a new set of clues.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39Run out of time and you'll leave with...
0:37:39 > 0:37:41HE MOUTHS
0:37:41 > 0:37:42Nothing.
0:37:43 > 0:37:48- Who's going to play first? - Me.- Me, Daryl-Lee. Right.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52Stand by. You're on your own.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55The clock will start when you see the first clue.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23- Don't know.- Time's out. The link was...
0:38:26 > 0:38:29- Really?- Which means, Daryl-Lee, play stays with you
0:38:29 > 0:38:34and you face a new super-link. 46 seconds left.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37The clock will restart when the first clue appears.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55Places in Australia.
0:38:57 > 0:39:00Is the link places in Australia?
0:39:02 > 0:39:03No.
0:39:04 > 0:39:09Because Keating was a prime minister and galah is a bird,
0:39:09 > 0:39:11arvo's an afternoon, not places.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13The remaining clues were...
0:39:17 > 0:39:19- Hoh-hoh-hoh-hoh!- Oh, my word.
0:39:19 > 0:39:22Which means play stays with you, Daryl-Lee,
0:39:22 > 0:39:26and you face a new super-link. 34 seconds left.
0:39:26 > 0:39:30The clock will restart when the first clue appears. Stand by.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53Time's out. The answer was...
0:39:57 > 0:39:59And final clue was...
0:40:01 > 0:40:04Which means, Daryl-Lee, play stays with you
0:40:04 > 0:40:09and you face a new super-link. 22 seconds left.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12The clock will restart when the first clue appears.
0:40:26 > 0:40:27Planets.
0:40:27 > 0:40:31Out of time. The link was...
0:40:33 > 0:40:37- Did you know? - And the final clues were...
0:40:42 > 0:40:46Which means play stays with you, Daryl-Lee,
0:40:46 > 0:40:52and you face, tortuously, a new super-link with 13 seconds left.
0:40:52 > 0:40:55The clock will restart when the first clue appears. Are you ready?
0:40:55 > 0:40:58- Yeah.- I'm not sure Linda can cope with any more of this.
0:40:58 > 0:41:04- I think we should just pass to Linda.- Unfortunately, no.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08Rules is rules. You're on your own, Daryl-Lee.
0:41:08 > 0:41:12The clock restarts when the first clue appears.
0:41:27 > 0:41:35- Star Wars.- Time's out.- Oh, no, it's Doctor Who.- And the answer was...
0:41:36 > 0:41:39- Oh, robots.- The last two were...
0:41:44 > 0:41:48Daryl-Lee, play stays with you and you face a new super-link with...
0:41:48 > 0:41:50Oooh, two seconds!
0:41:50 > 0:41:55..I'm sure you're aware, two of your Earth seconds left.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00Wait, you know, it's not over yet.
0:42:00 > 0:42:04The clock will restart when the first clue appears. Are you ready?
0:42:10 > 0:42:16- Daryl-Lee, you're out of time. - I know.- The answer was...
0:42:19 > 0:42:21The rest of them were...
0:42:27 > 0:42:32Daryl-Lee and Linda, I'm afraid you're going home with nothing.
0:42:32 > 0:42:36- But we've had a lovely day. - Well, that makes me feel better.
0:42:36 > 0:42:41- Well, you've got everybody's fellow feelings, love and affection.- Good.
0:42:41 > 0:42:46Thanks very much. You've been absolutely brilliant sports
0:42:46 > 0:42:49and greatly amusing, Daryl-Lee and Linda.
0:42:49 > 0:42:50APPLAUSE
0:42:50 > 0:42:55Ta-ra. Thanks very much for playing. Goodbye.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58Join us next time when three more pairs will be trying to make
0:42:58 > 0:43:02all the right connections on The Link. See you then. Goodbye.
