Hello, I'm Mark Williams and welcome to The Link

where knowing the answers is only half the battle.

To win this game you have to find the link between the answers.

Three teams are hoping to make the right connections

but only one of them can be in today's final.

Let's see who's full of fine fervour.

I'm Daniel, a box office supervisor from Manchester

and this is my good friend.

I'm Chris, I live in Stockport

and I work at the Science Museum in Manchester.

APPLAUSE

And the link is you're friends.

Chris, tell me about the Science Museum.

What part of the Science Museum?

I work in central Manchester,

it's a museum that has everything from steam trains to aeroplanes...

-At the Old Station?

-It is, yeah.

-The first passenger station in the world.

-That's right, yeah.

I do actually envy you greatly, Chris. I'd love to work there.

Mind you, I wouldn't be doing anything.

I'd be going round there going...

Brilliant. Daniel and Chris, welcome to The Link.

and I'm studying aerospace engineering and this is my friend.

I'm Ainsley, I'm from Burnley.

I study accounting, business and finance.

APPLAUSE

The link is you're friends.

So is aeronautical engineering, you could possibly call that

rocket science, couldn't you?

Aerospace, that's more rocket science.

Aeronautical's to do with like ships as well.

-I see so you can knock up a plane or you can knock up a ship.

-Yeah.

When will you decide? Halfway through?

Whatever takes your fancy, to be honest.

Well, Ainsley could tell you how much money you've got.

"No, no, no, can't do a ship. Small plane."

OK, welcome.

Welcome all! Now, pay attention.

Here are six cash pods containing amounts ranging from £125 to £2,000.

The more cash in the pod, the more links holding it.

What you have to do is cut the links holding the pods

until they drop into your bank and here's how you cut the links.

I'm going to ask you four questions

and you have to work out what links the answers.

If you can find that link from the first question alone,

you'll be able to cut four of those links.

If you spot it after the second answer, you can get three links,

then two, then one.

-And of course the link here is...

-ALL:

-The Muppets.

-The Muppets.

Correct.

You need to bank as much as you can because the team with

the least amount of money at the end of this round will be going home.

Is the link Jamie Oliver?

APPLAUSE

The remaining clue would've been...

Let's cut the final links.

APPLAUSE

Well done, Kamran and Ainsley, you're through to the Final Round

and that cash goes with you.

However, Daniel and Chris, you had a huge financial advantage there

that you brought in the Second Round and squandered!

-What happened there?

-It was the kangaroo's fault.

Yeah, it was the kangaroo's fault.

You played really well, Daniel and Chris

and it's a shame that we're going to have to say goodbye to you.

Thank you for playing The Link.

-Goodbye.

-Goodbye.

APPLAUSE

Kamran and Ainsley, you are today's finalists.

You've brought through £1,050 and we're adding £2,000 to that,

making your maximum win today

£3,050.

APPLAUSE

What are you going to do with it?

I'm probably going to buy a car even though

-I don't have a driver's licence.

-OK, and Ainsley?

I'm into cars myself as well so probably go towards maybe

a classic car fund or a new car for myself hopefully.

All right, well, good luck.

To take that money home,

you have just 60 seconds to find six super links.

At each level you'll need to identify the link

between ten one word clues.

As soon as you think you know the answer,

buzz in and we'll stop the clock.

If you are right, you can take that money home

but choose to play on and your team-mate will tackle

the next super link but if you're wrong, play stays with you.

We will restart the clock and you'll face a new set of clues.

Run out of time and you'll leave with zip.

Zilch.

Zot.

-Who's going to go first?

-I'll be playing first.

Ainsley, you're on your own.

The clock will start when you see the first clue.

Stand by.

BUZZER

Artists.

Is the link artists?

No.

The answer was Strictly Come Dancing. The remaining clues were...

Which means that play stays with you, Ainsley,

and you face a new super link.

52 seconds remaining.

The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

-BUZZER

-Knots.

Is the link knots?

APPLAUSE

The remaining clue was...

Kamran and Ainsley, that puts you on £125.

APPLAUSE

With 40 seconds remaining on the clock, you now have a choice.

-You can take that money and go or you can play on.

-Play on.

Yeah, we've got a lot of time left. We'd like to play on, please.

You're going to play on. Kamran, your turn now.

The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

-BUZZER

-Types of martial arts.

Is the link types of martial arts?

-APPLAUSE

-Good work.

The remaining clues were...

And yes, the link was they are all martial arts.

Kamran and Ainsley, you are now on £300.

With 35 seconds remaining, you now have a choice.

-You can take the money and go or play on.

-Play on.

-Yeah, definitely.

-We'd like to play on, please.

-You're going to play on, OK.

Ainsley, you're on your own.

The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

OUT-OF-TIME BUZZER

Time out. The correct answer was...

-Not a Sandra Bullock fan?

-No, nothing at all.

-I am.

Which means play stays with you, Ainsley,

and you face a new super link.

22 seconds left, the clock will restart when the first clue appears.

-BUZZER

-Bridge.

Is the link bridge?

APPLAUSE

Yes...

the link is bridge. That puts you on...

£500.

You have eight seconds remaining.

You can take that money and go or you can play on.

-Shall we go for glory?

-I don't know, we've got 250 as it stands.

-Do you want to take the money?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

Obviously they could be hard and I couldn't get one, but they might

-be easy...

-Yeah.

-..but I think,

for the sake of £100, reckon we just take the 250 each.

-Yeah, we will do.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Yes, we'd like to take the money, please.

-Take the money, yeah.

-Maths in action.

Brilliant.

Kamran and Ainsley, you didn't make it to today's top prize

but you're going home with £500.

APPLAUSE

-So that's really a bike each...

-Yeah!

-..but that's fine!

Probably a wheel each actually.

Thank you, Kamran and Ainsley, for playing.

Join us next time when three more pairs will be trying to make

all the right connections on The Link.

See you then, goodbye.
