0:00:13 > 0:00:15APPLAUSE
0:00:18 > 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's intelligent, interesting and intellectual.
0:00:40 > 0:00:41I'm Robbie. I'm a middle-school teacher
0:00:41 > 0:00:44from Alnwick in Northumberland and this is my mum.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47I'm Marlies. I'm also from Northumberland
0:00:47 > 0:00:50and I'm happily retired. APPLAUSE
0:00:50 > 0:00:54- So the link is, you're mother and son, aren't you?- That's right, yeah.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Now, tell me about your trolley tea times.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Oh, you get and biscuits and you get sandwiches.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02You even get the occasional pizza and you get a nice pudding.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Oh, it's a legend in Alnwick.- Is it? - It is, yes.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07- A legend in Alnwick! - Well, to us it is.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10- Yes.- Brilliant! Can I come?
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- Robbie and Marlies, welcome. - Thank you.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Damian, Peter, introduce yourselves, please.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18I'm Damian, I'm from London.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20I run a theatre company and this is my friend.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22I'm Peter, I'm also from London and I'm a teacher.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- APPLAUSE - And the link is, you're friends.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Damian, apparently you can do a Brian Blessed impersonation.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33- Is that correct?- That is true, yes. - Go on, then.
0:01:33 > 0:01:35WELCOME TO THE LINK!
0:01:35 > 0:01:39- HE CHUCKLES - Where did that come from? Brilliant!
0:01:39 > 0:01:40The training - that's what it is.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Yeah, it came from very DEEP INSIDE YOU.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45- INDEED!- Very good. Excellent.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48Well, we'll try not to keep talking to each other -
0:01:48 > 0:01:50shouting at each other - as Brian Blessed.
0:01:50 > 0:01:53- Peter, you were a science teacher. - I was, yes.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55- And now you've gone...- Not any more.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Decided to take some time off and go travelling.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00- So you were teaching in a secondary school in London?- I was.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- COCKNEY ACCENT:- All right, Peter? What was that like?
0:02:03 > 0:02:05None of your lip, please.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07OK. Sorry, sir.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10- Damian and Peter, welcome. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:02:10 > 0:02:12Sue and Fiona, tell us about yourselves.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15I'm Sue. I'm a retired librarian from Salisbury,
0:02:15 > 0:02:16and this is my friend.
0:02:16 > 0:02:19I'm Fiona. I'm also from Salisbury and I'm a civil servant.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22APPLAUSE
0:02:22 > 0:02:24And the link is, they're friends.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- Sue, so you were a technical librarian?- Yes.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Started off in a university and in the last 20-something years,
0:02:31 > 0:02:34I was in a medical research facility.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38Blimey! And Fiona, you're a bit of a daredevil, aren't you?
0:02:38 > 0:02:41I mean, you're interested in Formula One,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44horse racing, abseiling. It's like James Bond!
0:02:44 > 0:02:48It possibly makes me sound more interesting than I think I am
0:02:48 > 0:02:50but, er, yeah, life's too short.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53I eagerly await your retirement!
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Gawd knows what she's going to get up to! Welcome, all!
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Now, pay attention.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00Here are six cash pods,
0:03:00 > 0:03:04containing amounts ranging from £125 to £2,000.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06The more cash in the pod, the more links holding it.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09What you have to do is cut the links holding the pods
0:03:09 > 0:03:13until they drop into your bank. And here's how you cut the links.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15I'm going to ask you four questions.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17You have to work out what links the answers.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20If you can find that link from the first answer alone,
0:03:20 > 0:03:24you'll be able to cut four of those links.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27If you spot it after the second answer, you can cut three links,
0:03:27 > 0:03:30then two, then one.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32And, of course, the link here is...
0:03:32 > 0:03:33BOTH: Capital cities.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38"Capital cities," they chorused. Let's cut that link.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42You need to bank as much as you can because the team with
0:03:42 > 0:03:46the least amount of money at the end of this round will be going home.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Let's play The Link.
0:03:52 > 0:03:56Stand by. Round one. Here's the first question. For four links...
0:03:57 > 0:04:01In the novel The Hobbit, what type of creature is Smaug? Robbie?
0:04:01 > 0:04:03He's a dragon.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06He is a dragon. There's your first clue.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- What's the link?- Well done, Robbie.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11I'm thinking straightaway Chinese New Year.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15Well, that's a good one, yes. Yes. I think we'll go for it.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18I can't think of anything else that would... Unless it's fairy stories.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20- What's the link?- Chinese years.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Is the link Chinese years?
0:04:25 > 0:04:26Get in!
0:04:26 > 0:04:28APPLAUSE Well done, Robbie!
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Yeah, we'll give you that because the Chinese Zodiac animals
0:04:30 > 0:04:33are inextricably linked with their years.
0:04:33 > 0:04:34The remaining clues would have been...
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Robbie, Marlies, well done. You got that on the first clue.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- How do you want to use your four links?- Oh!
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Well, it's tempting to chip away at that big boy, that 2,000, isn't it?
0:04:49 > 0:04:54- I would rather bank the 750.- Get some money on the board?- Yep.- Yeah.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57I think we're going to go for 750 and get some money in the bank.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Mum's in charge there! Cut those four links...
0:05:03 > 0:05:07..releasing £750 into your bank.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10APPLAUSE
0:05:10 > 0:05:13OK. Stand by. For four links...
0:05:15 > 0:05:20The North American grizzly bear is a member of which bear species?
0:05:22 > 0:05:23- Robbie?- Brown bear?
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Brown bear is correct.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30- Brown - first clue.- Well, it's not going to be colours, is it?
0:05:30 > 0:05:33- Could be prime ministers.- Could be.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Is there anything else that goes in front of "brown", before "brown"?
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- Like...- Colour of eyes?
0:05:38 > 0:05:41I think what we've said - your one - is the best one, I think.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- Shall we go for that? - We'll go for prime ministers.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46OK. Is the link prime ministers?
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Get in! Well done! - APPLAUSE
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Very good! The remaining clues would have been...
0:05:58 > 0:06:02Which now means you can cut four links from the cash pods.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- You choose, Robbie.- I don't know.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08I'm thinking, get the 500 and the 125 and just build the money up,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11- then we can start chipping away at the other ones. Do you think?- Yeah.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- I'll go with that. - We'll go for 500 and the 125.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17OK, take the link from the 125...
0:06:20 > 0:06:23There it goes. ..and the three from the 500.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34- OK. - APPLAUSE
0:06:34 > 0:06:37Robbie and Marlies, you have £1,375
0:06:37 > 0:06:40after the second set of questions, which means,
0:06:40 > 0:06:44quite incredibly, you've guaranteed a place in the next round!
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- That's good to know, isn't it? - Yeah, wonderful!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- APPLAUSE - Gather yourselves.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55Find your centres, because there's still £3,300 on the screen.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57So, for four links, stand by.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05Complete the name of the 2009 film starring Sandra Bullock - The Blind...
0:07:06 > 0:07:10- Robbie?- Taking a bit of a guess at this but Blind Assassin?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Is incorrect. Peter?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14- Side.- Side.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17Complete the name of the 2009 film starring Sandra Bullock -
0:07:17 > 0:07:19The Blind Side.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24Correct. Your first clue - what's the link, Damian and Peter?
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- What's the link? Sideways, perhaps?- Sideways...
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- Words that come before "ways". Shall we go for that? - Yeah, let's go for that.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Is it words that come before "ways"?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Is the link "ways"?
0:07:37 > 0:07:39No. It's not.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43All back in play. For three links, stand by.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Your next question...
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Which one word describes a sports player whose usual position
0:07:49 > 0:07:54is behind the forwards and provides a more common name for the dorsum?
0:07:55 > 0:07:56- Peter?- Wing.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Is incorrect.
0:08:00 > 0:08:01- Sue?- Back.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Back. Correct.
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Behind the forwards. That was the clue there.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08So, side, back...
0:08:10 > 0:08:12- What's the link?- Er...
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- Directions?- I've got sideburns in my head that I can't really get rid of.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Backburns? No.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- Bacon? Cuts of meat?- Could be, yeah. - Bacon?- Yeah, shall we go for that?
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- Do you get a side of bacon? - Sides of meat, don't you? Meat cuts?
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- What's the link?- Bacon.- OK.- Bacon.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Bacon. Is the link bacon?
0:08:36 > 0:08:39No. I wish it was!
0:08:40 > 0:08:43- That was great, Fiona, there. "Bacon!"- Lateral thinking!
0:08:43 > 0:08:48Yeah, good stuff. OK. However, it was wrong. All back in play.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50For two links...
0:08:50 > 0:08:54The brisket cut of meat comes from which part of the animal?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Robbie?
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Shoulder?
0:08:57 > 0:08:58- No. - BUZZER
0:08:58 > 0:09:00- Fiona?- Back?
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- No. - BUZZER
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- Peter?- The leg?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07No.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09The correct answer is the breast.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Nobody has a chance to make the link so we move on.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Everyone's back in play. Stand by.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Your next question, for one link...
0:09:19 > 0:09:21The red admiral is a species...
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Damian?- Butterfly.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27..of which colourful winged insect?
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Butterfly is correct.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35- What's the link?- I think they're swimming strokes, Peter.- I agree.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39- Shall we go for swimming strokes? - I think that'd be a good choice.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40Is the link swimming strokes?
0:09:42 > 0:09:44- APPLAUSE - Yes.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47The Lepidoptera gave you the final clue.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52Side, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly. Swimming strokes.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- One link. How do you want to use it? - BOTH:- What shall we do?
0:09:55 > 0:09:58I think we should probably take one away from the 2,000,
0:09:58 > 0:10:01cos we can't win any money with this go anyway.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Yeah, I think that is a very good idea.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06- We'll take one away from 2,000, please.- Let's do that.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13You've cut one link from the 2,000 pod. Stand by. For four links...
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Nectarines are a smooth variety...
0:10:17 > 0:10:19- BUZZER - Robbie?- Peach.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21..of which fruit? Peach.
0:10:23 > 0:10:28- Your first clue. What is the link? - Well, fruit's too obvious, isn't it?
0:10:28 > 0:10:31- It could be shades of pink. - Shades of pink, it could be.- Yes.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Is there any word that goes before or after "peach"? Peach Melba...
0:10:35 > 0:10:40- What's the link?- We'll just go with shades.- Yeah, shades of pink.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Is the link shades of pink?
0:10:44 > 0:10:49- It isn't. Which is a shame, cos it was a very good rhyme.- It was!
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Everyone's back in play. Stand by.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Your next question, for three links...
0:10:53 > 0:10:58Which Minnesota city's name is a combination of the Sioux word for "water"
0:10:58 > 0:11:01and the Greek word for "city"? Robbie?
0:11:01 > 0:11:04I'm going to take a guess at it.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Aquametropolis?
0:11:06 > 0:11:10- Is incorrect. Which Minnesota... - BUZZER
0:11:10 > 0:11:11- Damian?- Minneapolis?
0:11:11 > 0:11:12Minneapolis is right.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21- What's the link?- Can you see any link between those two at all?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- I certainly can't. - Peach and Minneapolis. Er...
0:11:25 > 0:11:29I don't think it's peach Melba. I can't believe it'd be cocktails.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34- No, peach Melba's a pudding, isn't it?- I think so, yeah.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- What's the link? - Shall we say...puddings?- Yeah.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40We'll go with puddings.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Is the link puddings?
0:11:43 > 0:11:46You wish!
0:11:46 > 0:11:49No. Stand by. For two links...

0:12:02 > 0:12:04What's the link?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Do you have a clue?
0:12:06 > 0:12:08The only thing I can think of in all those words
0:12:08 > 0:12:11is the letters E and A together.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- That's the only link I can see. - Right.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17- I can't really give you anything better.- What's the link?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Is it the letters E and A together?
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Is it the combination E and A?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27No, it's not.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- Bit of a guess!- Bit of a guess. - Everyone back in play.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34Stand by. Your next question for one link...
0:12:34 > 0:12:38T. Rex had a 1972 UK top 10 hit with Children Of The...
0:12:38 > 0:12:40Revolution.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Children Of The Revolution. Correct, Robbie.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- What's the link? - I have got absolutely no idea!
0:12:51 > 0:12:53I have got absolutely no idea as well. Er...

0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Sheena Easton's Scottish.- Er...
0:13:00 > 0:13:02What's the link?
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- Shall we just say TV series, just for some...- Yeah.- TV series?
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Is the link TV series?
0:13:11 > 0:13:15No. The link we're looking for was, of course...
0:13:18 > 0:13:20OK. Minneapolis is where he's based.
0:13:20 > 0:13:24Sheena Easton - U Got The Look. "Never seen a pretty girl look so tough."
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Revolution is his band and Peach was a 1993 single.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Well, there you go!- Well, there you go. Here's another set of questions.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35For four links, stand by. You're all in play.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42Fiona?
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Sorry, I was going to say Robin and it's not. Buzzed too early.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46It's not.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Peter?- Alfred?
0:13:49 > 0:13:54What is the first name of Batman's long-serving BUTLER? Alfred.
0:13:56 > 0:13:58First clue - what's the link?
0:13:58 > 0:14:00Alfred. Alfred the Great?
0:14:00 > 0:14:04- I was going to think about maybe kings and queens.- Er...
0:14:04 > 0:14:07That's a good shout. We're going to go for kings and queens.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09Is the link kings and queens?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13No. It's not.
0:14:13 > 0:14:15Everyone back in play. Stand by.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Your next question for three links...

0:14:30 > 0:14:34- Alfred Nobel's Swedish. - Yeah.- Nobel Prize?
0:14:34 > 0:14:35Is the link the Nobel Prize?
0:14:37 > 0:14:40APPLAUSE
0:14:40 > 0:14:44Good. That's correct. The remaining clues would have been...
0:14:47 > 0:14:50Alfred Nobel, born in Sweden,
0:14:50 > 0:14:56invented dynamite by mixing nitroglycerine with inert clay
0:14:56 > 0:15:00and created the Peace Prize. OK.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- Let's cut your links.- What do you think?- How many have we got?
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- We've got three.- Three?
0:15:06 > 0:15:08I think we take that 300 and chip away at the two grand.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11That's a good idea, Robbie. We'll do that.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15- We're going to take the 300 and chip another one off the 2,000.- OK.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18You're going to take one link from the 2,000...
0:15:19 > 0:15:22..and take two links off the 300...
0:15:24 > 0:15:28..releasing that into your already rather well-stocked bank,
0:15:28 > 0:15:31giving you £1,675.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34Damian and Peter haven't banked anything yet.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Neither have Sue and Fiona. There is £3,000 left on the screen.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Sue, Fiona, Damian and Peter, back up. For four links...
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Which Victoria wrote and starred in the TV sitcom... - BUZZER
0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Robbie?- Victoria Wood.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55..Dinnerladies and the spoof soap opera Acorn Antiques.
0:15:55 > 0:16:00Indeed, Victoria Wood. That's your first clue. What's the link?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03- Wood. - Could be Rolling Stones members.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05It could be. That's a good one.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Or it could be, er, building materials.
0:16:09 > 0:16:13- I think your first one's a good 'un to go for.- We'll go for that, then.
0:16:13 > 0:16:14Rolling Stones members?
0:16:14 > 0:16:17Is the link Rolling Stones members?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21No, it's not.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24OK. Everyone's back in play. Stand by.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Your next question, for three links...
0:16:26 > 0:16:32"Abuela" is the Spanish word for which member of the family?
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Marlies?
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Uncle.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Is not right.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39- Peter?- Father?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Is not right.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- Sue?- Grandfather?
0:16:43 > 0:16:46Is incorrect. The correct answer is grandmother.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52Wood, grandmother were the two clues.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Nobody has a chance to guess the link. You're all back in play.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59Stand by. For two links, which word precedes Canaveral, Cod...
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- Robbie?- Cape.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04..and Fear to make three place names in the United States?
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Cape is correct.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- What's the link?- BOTH:- I think it's Little Red Riding Hood.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Yeah, I think we're going to go for Little Red Riding Hood.
0:17:14 > 0:17:18Without even conferring, they chorused together.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Is the link Little Red Riding Hood?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- APPLAUSE - Yes. The remaining clue was...
0:17:28 > 0:17:30She was going to her grandmother's through the wood,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32wearing the cape, and the wolf stopped her.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35So you have two links - how would you like to use them?
0:17:35 > 0:17:38- Shall we just go for the big 'un? - Yes, why not?- We're in a position to.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- Yeah, we'll take it off the 2,000. - You're going to take it off the 2,000? Let's do that.
0:17:42 > 0:17:44Let's cut those two links.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50OK. Everyone back in play.
0:17:50 > 0:17:52For four links, stand by.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57"Gotta slow down, baby Got to have some fun"
0:17:57 > 0:18:00is a lyric from which Spice Girls hit?
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Peter.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04Wannabe?
0:18:04 > 0:18:06- No. - BUZZER
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Robbie?- After singing it to myself, Stop.
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Stop is correct.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16So, Robbie, stop - first clue. What's the link?
0:18:16 > 0:18:21- It could be traffic signs. A stop sign.- Yes, it could be bus stop.
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- Yeah.- Bus station, bus stop.- Er...
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- It could be punctuation - full stop. - Punctuation mark.- What's the link?
0:18:28 > 0:18:30- Shall we try road signs?- Yep.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32- Road signs?- Is the link road signs?
0:18:34 > 0:18:36No, it's not.
0:18:36 > 0:18:42OK, everyone back in play. Your next question, for three links...
0:18:43 > 0:18:45Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression...
0:18:45 > 0:18:48- Robbie?- On the wrists?
0:18:48 > 0:18:50..of a nerve in which joint?
0:18:50 > 0:18:52The wrist.
0:18:55 > 0:18:58- Two clues - what's the link?- I think a stopwatch and a wristwatch.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01- Do you think?- I would agree with that. Stopwatch and wristwatch.
0:19:01 > 0:19:06- So we'll go for watches.- OK. Is the link watch?
0:19:07 > 0:19:09APPLAUSE
0:19:09 > 0:19:12Very good. Types of watch. The remaining clues would've been...
0:19:15 > 0:19:19So...how would you like to use your three links?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- I think we'll take... - I think we might...
0:19:22 > 0:19:24..our two bags of sand and, er, yeah,
0:19:24 > 0:19:28we'll take the two grand and knock one off the one.
0:19:28 > 0:19:30OK, let's take one link from the 1,000...
0:19:31 > 0:19:35As you so correctly pointed out, one link from the bag.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39And take the two links from the two bags of sand.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43Which means that £2,000 goes into
0:19:43 > 0:19:45your swelling account.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49You now have £3,675.
0:19:49 > 0:19:53Damian and Peter and Sue and Fiona, well, you know...
0:19:53 > 0:19:56Stand by. For four links...
0:19:56 > 0:19:59There are four links there on that £1,000 pod.
0:19:59 > 0:20:04Which racecourse in Suffolk hosts the 2,000 Guineas? Robbie?
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Er, Newmarket.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Newmarket's correct. There's your first clue.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12- What's the link? - Card games, perhaps?
0:20:12 > 0:20:15- Is there a Newmarket card game? - Yes, there is a Newmarket card game.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- That's a brilliant answer, then. Let's go for that.- Go for that. - Card games?
0:20:18 > 0:20:19Is the link card games?
0:20:20 > 0:20:24Brilliant! Well done. Well done indeed.
0:20:24 > 0:20:26It was remarkable!
0:20:26 > 0:20:29You were just absolutely positive about that straightaway,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32- weren't you?- Yeah.- And you listened to your mother. Which is always a...
0:20:32 > 0:20:35- It's always a good plan. - It's always a good look.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37OK, the remaining clues would've been...
0:20:41 > 0:20:43Right. I hesitate to ask this,
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- but how would you like to use your four links?- Er...
0:20:47 > 0:20:50- Would we very much like to take that £1,000?- I'd love to.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53You surprise me! Let's cut those links.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02APPLAUSE
0:21:07 > 0:21:09Ho-ho! Robbie and Marlies,
0:21:09 > 0:21:10£4,675 in your bank which,
0:21:10 > 0:21:12I think you'll find,
0:21:12 > 0:21:13is the maximum amount available,
0:21:13 > 0:21:17which means you're through to the next round
0:21:17 > 0:21:20but we need to find out who's joining you.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21So, Damian and Peter,
0:21:21 > 0:21:23you didn't bank anything.
0:21:23 > 0:21:24Sue and Fiona,
0:21:24 > 0:21:26you didn't bank anything.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30That means you will play for the tie-break cash pod.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33The tie-break cash pod is worth £125
0:21:33 > 0:21:37and is held by just - you've guessed it - one link.
0:21:37 > 0:21:40The first team to name the link will release the pod
0:21:40 > 0:21:43and be through to the next round with the cash.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46The other team will be going home.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Ready? Stand by. Here's your question.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- Lapsang souchong and Oo...? - BUZZER
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- Sue?- Tea.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00..and Oolong are types of which beverage?
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Tea.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05There it is. Correct. That's the first of four clues.
0:22:05 > 0:22:07What's the link?
0:22:07 > 0:22:12- Well, it's not going to be drinks, cos that was the question.- Cakes?
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Teacups. Do you get a tea rose?
0:22:14 > 0:22:18- I've got roses in my head, for some reason.- Room?
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- What's the link?- Cakes.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- Cakes.- Cakes.- Is the link cakes?
0:22:25 > 0:22:29Oh! OK, stand by. For three links...
0:22:30 > 0:22:34What unit of length equalling four inches is used in...
0:22:34 > 0:22:36- Fiona?- A hand.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39..used in measuring the height of horses?
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Hand.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45What's the link?
0:22:45 > 0:22:49I'm not sure. So it's... Sorry, I'm just thinking.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51- Words that could...- Tea and hand.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53What's the link?
0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Rooms.- Is the link rooms?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00No, it's not.
0:23:00 > 0:23:04Stand by. For two links...
0:23:04 > 0:23:09Directed by Mel Smith, which 1997 film comedy stars Rowan Atkinson in the title role?
0:23:11 > 0:23:13- Fiona?- Mr Bean?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Mr Bean, correct.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20- What's the link?- Bag. - Oh, well done.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Yes, bag, apparently. - Is the link bag?
0:23:25 > 0:23:28APPLAUSE
0:23:28 > 0:23:30The remaining clue was...
0:23:32 > 0:23:36Tea bag, handbag, beanbag and sleeping bag.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Let's cut the tie-break link.
0:23:40 > 0:23:42Which means, Sue and Fiona,
0:23:42 > 0:23:45you are going through to the next round with Robbie and Marlies.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49Damian and Peter, I'm afraid, are going home.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52- It wasn't for the lack of trying, chaps, was it?- No, not at all.
0:23:52 > 0:23:56Who would have thought pudding would be a wrong answer?
0:23:56 > 0:23:58In my world, it was the best answer.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02However, thanks very much for playing The Link but,
0:24:02 > 0:24:06Damian and Peter, good sports, goodbye.
0:24:06 > 0:24:07Bye-bye.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Robbie and Marlies, Sue and Fiona, you're still in the game.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15Robbie and Marlies,
0:24:15 > 0:24:18you banked £4,675.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Sue and Fiona, you banked £125.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24That money is now in these two cash pods...
0:24:25 > 0:24:29..each held, as you can see, by seven links.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32The first team to cut all the links and release their cash pod
0:24:32 > 0:24:34takes their money through to the final round.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37The other team will be out.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Now, you can be as brave or as cautious as you like
0:24:40 > 0:24:43because you decide how many links you want to cut.
0:24:43 > 0:24:46I'm going to ask you to identify a person, place or thing
0:24:46 > 0:24:48from a series of clues and you tell me
0:24:48 > 0:24:53whether you want to play for one, two, three or four links.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56But the more links you play for, the fewer clues you'll receive.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59We'll start with the team who has brought the most money through to the round
0:24:59 > 0:25:02and that, I think, is Robbie and Marlies.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08Stand by. The first question is asking...
0:25:10 > 0:25:12How many links?
0:25:12 > 0:25:15What do you think? I think, start just a bit...
0:25:15 > 0:25:18- Cautiously? And go for two links?- I think so.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Shall we play for two links, please?
0:25:20 > 0:25:23For two links, here are your clues. What am I?
0:25:44 > 0:25:46Is that the Tyne Bridge?
0:25:46 > 0:25:49I think it very, very well could be
0:25:49 > 0:25:51but would it be seen from the Lake District?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Unless it's Ironbridge in Shropshire.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57No, Shropshire's too far away from the Lake District.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01- It's got to be somewhere in the North.- What am I?
0:26:01 > 0:26:02Tyne Bridge?
0:26:02 > 0:26:06Am I the Tyne Bridge?
0:26:06 > 0:26:07No.
0:26:07 > 0:26:11Which means, Sue and Fiona, you have a chance to nick a link.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13You will see the remaining clue
0:26:13 > 0:26:18for a chance to cut a single link from your cash pod, and it is...
0:26:21 > 0:26:24- Oh!- Do you think you know?- Yeah. - Shall we go for it?
0:26:24 > 0:26:26BOTH: Blackpool Tower?
0:26:26 > 0:26:30I am a seaside landmark modelled on the famous work of Gustave Eiffel.
0:26:30 > 0:26:33Am I Blackpool Tower?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36Yes, I am.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42So... Ooh! The plot thickens.
0:26:42 > 0:26:47Right, Sue and Fiona, let's cut that single link from your pod,
0:26:47 > 0:26:51leaving you with six links, and it's now your go.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Your question will be asking...
0:26:56 > 0:26:59- How many links?- I think... - Shall we go for two again?
0:26:59 > 0:27:02I think we'll play it safe because we wouldn't have got that
0:27:02 > 0:27:05from the first two, so I think we'll go for two links.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07For two links, here are your clues. What am I?
0:27:23 > 0:27:26The only planet I know that you can see is Mars,
0:27:26 > 0:27:29- named after the chocolate bar. - Absolutely, Mars.- Mars.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30Am I Mars?
0:27:32 > 0:27:33- No.- BOTH:- Oh!
0:27:33 > 0:27:34I'm not.
0:27:36 > 0:27:40And with the inevitability of fate, Robbie and Marlies,
0:27:40 > 0:27:42you now have a chance to nick a link.
0:27:42 > 0:27:45Here is the remaining clue. What am I?
0:27:48 > 0:27:51- Well, I think the Roman God gave it away, didn't it?- The Roman God, yeah.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53- Jupiter.- Am I Jupiter?
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Right. So you nicked a link.
0:28:00 > 0:28:05That means we cut one link from your pod, like that,
0:28:05 > 0:28:08leaving six, and it's your go.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11Your question will be asking...
0:28:14 > 0:28:16How many links?
0:28:16 > 0:28:19I think after our slightly disastrous start,
0:28:19 > 0:28:22- I think we should go cautious again. - Two links?
0:28:22 > 0:28:26- We'll play for two links, please. - For two links, here are your clues.
0:28:48 > 0:28:49I was thinking Tracey Emin.
0:28:49 > 0:28:54I was thinking Damien Hirst but then when the Turner Prize '95 came up, I changed my mind.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58- Unmade Bed, Tracey Emin? - Is it not Damien Hirst, though?
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- Was Damien Hirst not...- Who am I?
0:29:01 > 0:29:04- I'm in two minds. I think Damien Hirst.- Go for it, then.
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- Damien Hirst?- Am I Damien Hirst?
0:29:09 > 0:29:12- Well done.- Yes, the remaining clue would've been...
0:29:16 > 0:29:21- Ooh!- OK, two links. Let's cut them.
0:29:23 > 0:29:27Four links remaining. Sue and Fiona, your question will be asking...
0:29:30 > 0:29:32How many links?
0:29:32 > 0:29:35- Play safe again?- We played safe last time and were pretty rubbish
0:29:35 > 0:29:38but I think we've got to play safe again. Two links, please.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41OK, for two links, who am I? Here are your clues.
0:29:43 > 0:29:45Oh!
0:29:59 > 0:30:02- So...?- There's something ringing a distant bell but...
0:30:02 > 0:30:06- Could it ring louder, please?- No. - Who was the lawyer in OJ Simpson's...
0:30:06 > 0:30:10October, so he's, what? 30, 40?
0:30:10 > 0:30:15- OJ Simpson...- Who am I? - "My second marriage lasted 72 days."
0:30:15 > 0:30:19I have no idea. I'm sorry. Er...
0:30:21 > 0:30:23- Oprah Winfrey.- Oprah... SHE CHUCKLES
0:30:23 > 0:30:26- Oprah Winfrey, she said! - Oprah Winfrey.
0:30:26 > 0:30:27Am I Oprah Winfrey?
0:30:27 > 0:30:31No. Which means that Robbie and Marlies,
0:30:31 > 0:30:35you now have a chance to nick a link. Here is the remaining clue.
0:30:42 > 0:30:43Kim Kardashian?
0:30:45 > 0:30:48- Yes. Yes.- Kim Kardashian? - Am I Kim Kardashian?
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Didn't get it till the last clue.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Yeah, I didn't get it till the last clue, either.
0:30:55 > 0:30:57Right, you nicked a link.
0:30:57 > 0:31:02Let's cut one link from your pod... leaving you with three links,
0:31:02 > 0:31:07holding £4,675. Your question will be asking...
0:31:10 > 0:31:12- How many links?- Shall we stay cautious and go for two?
0:31:12 > 0:31:16- I think we'd be foolish for doing anything else. It's served us well so far.- Yeah.

0:31:43 > 0:31:46- Avocado, perhaps? - It could be avocado.
