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

0:00:180:00:22

where knowing the answers is only half the battle.

0:00:220:00:25

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

0:00:250:00:28

Three teams are hoping to make the right connections,

0:00:280:00:31

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

0:00:310:00:34

Let's see who's visibly veracious for victory.

0:00:340:00:38

I'm James, I'm an A-Level student from Buckinghamshire

0:00:420:00:44

and this is my school friend...

0:00:440:00:46

Michael, also an A-Level student from Buckinghamshire.

0:00:460:00:48

-And the link is...

-APPLAUSE

0:00:480:00:51

..you're school friends.

0:00:530:00:54

-Yes.

-You're a big fan of tea, aren't you, Michael?

0:00:540:00:57

I like to think I am, yes.

0:00:570:00:59

Do you like it in a china cup with a saucer

0:00:590:01:01

or are you a mug-based beverage drinker?

0:01:010:01:04

I'm more of a mug-based drinker.

0:01:040:01:06

-I like to go for quantity, a bit of quality in there, hopefully.

-Herbal?

0:01:060:01:11

-No, none of that. No.

-No.

-No.

0:01:110:01:14

-I'm a man tea-drinker.

-Tea.

-Yes.

0:01:140:01:17

-Milk, two sugars?

-Oh, a little bit of milk, you know, builders' tea.

0:01:170:01:21

James and Michael, welcome.

0:01:210:01:23

Kerri and Sue, tell us about yourselves.

0:01:230:01:25

I'm Kerri, I'm an assistant manager for a car rental company

0:01:250:01:28

and I'm from Bromsgrove and this is my friend.

0:01:280:01:30

I'm Sue, I'm an officer manager for an estate agent

0:01:300:01:32

and I'm from Droitwich.

0:01:320:01:34

APPLAUSE

0:01:340:01:36

-And the link is, of course, you're friends.

-Yeah.

0:01:390:01:42

Kerri, who else in this room is from Bromsgrove? You are. I am.

0:01:420:01:45

And we went to North Bromsgrove High School.

0:01:450:01:49

We did, but not at the same time.

0:01:490:01:50

-No.

-Were you born in Bromsgrove?

0:01:500:01:52

-No.

-Oh. Where were you born, then?

0:01:520:01:54

-South Africa.

-Oh, OK.

0:01:540:01:56

-Bit different from Bromsgrove.

-Well, yeah. Kerri and Sue, welcome.

0:01:560:02:00

Dave and Colin, tell us about yourselves.

0:02:000:02:02

I'm Dave, I'm from Kent, I'm a services manager for a care provider

0:02:020:02:06

and this is my friend and colleague...

0:02:060:02:08

My name is Colin, I'm a services manager also, from South London.

0:02:080:02:12

APPLAUSE

0:02:120:02:14

And the link is friends and colleagues.

0:02:150:02:20

Can I ask you both about your football management experiences?

0:02:200:02:24

We managed a football team for some young lads

0:02:240:02:27

with learning disabilities and they did really well, didn't they?

0:02:270:02:30

Very soon they had won pretty much every game they had.

0:02:300:02:33

They went on to represent the London region

0:02:330:02:35

at the National Tournament in Manchester.

0:02:350:02:38

We didn't win, we got to the final and lost,

0:02:380:02:40

but they had some great experiences.

0:02:400:02:42

You must have been so proud.

0:02:420:02:44

Definite.

0:02:440:02:45

Yeah, I mean, the real big point for us was when they was

0:02:450:02:47

in the hotel because they had sponsored tracksuits from the league.

0:02:470:02:50

-Yeah.

-And they was walking around like they was David Beckham

0:02:500:02:53

and talking to everybody like they was famous

0:02:530:02:55

and we just sat back and watched. That was a good moment.

0:02:550:02:57

Well done, boys.

0:02:570:02:59

Dave and Colin, welcome. Welcome all.

0:02:590:03:01

Now, pay attention.

0:03:010:03:04

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

0:03:040:03:10

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

0:03:100:03:13

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

0:03:130:03:16

until they drop into your bank.

0:03:160:03:19

And here's how you cut the links.

0:03:190:03:21

I'm going to ask you four questions

0:03:210:03:23

and you have to work out what links the answers.

0:03:230:03:26

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

0:03:260:03:29

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

0:03:290:03:32

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

0:03:320:03:36

then two, then one

0:03:360:03:39

and of course, the link here is...

0:03:390:03:41

-ALL:

-Tree.

0:03:410:03:43

Tree! Yes.

0:03:450:03:48

You need to bank as much as you can

0:03:480:03:49

because the team with the least amount of money

0:03:490:03:51

at the end of this round will be going home.

0:03:510:03:54

Let's play The Link.

0:03:540:03:56

APPLAUSE

0:03:560:03:58

Stand by, round one.

0:03:590:04:01

Here's the first question, for four links.

0:04:010:04:05

0:04:170:04:20

0:04:220:04:24

-Art, like drawing?

-Yeah. Lines, circles...

0:04:240:04:29

-What other type of line do you get? Telephones?

-What shall we go with?

0:04:290:04:32

Telephones or trains, I reckon.

0:04:320:04:34

-Which one?

-Trains.

-Yeah?

-Trains.

-OK, yeah.

0:04:340:04:37

We're going to go with trains.

0:04:370:04:38

-What do you think, mate?

-Uh...

0:05:040:05:06

Barn, line?

0:05:060:05:07

I was thinking maybe types of paper but there's no barned paper.

0:05:070:05:11

-Hopefully.

-Yeah.

-A farm?

0:05:110:05:14

What would the line have to do with a farm, though?

0:05:140:05:17

-I don't know. Is it dancing? You get line dancing, barn...

-Yes!

0:05:170:05:20

Yes, that sounds great. Go for it.

0:05:200:05:22

Dancing. Types of dancing.

0:05:220:05:24

Is the link types of dancing?

0:05:240:05:26

APPLAUSE

0:05:280:05:30

I can go home now, I'm good.

0:05:310:05:34

I'm going now.

0:05:340:05:35

No, you're not going home. You're staying here. Behave!

0:05:370:05:41

Right, the remaining clues were tap, square.

0:05:410:05:45

Line dance, barn dance, tap dance, square dance.

0:05:450:05:49

You got that on the second clue which means you can cut three links.

0:05:490:05:53

I think we've got to go for the highest pounds per link ratio.

0:05:530:05:57

-We're 500 quid, aren't we? Let's just go straight in there.

-Yep.

0:05:570:06:00

-Let's get some money in the bank.

-Three links on £500, please.

0:06:000:06:03

OK, going for the highest PPL, which is a new one on me.

0:06:030:06:08

Let's cut the three links on the £500 pod.

0:06:080:06:11

APPLAUSE

0:06:180:06:21

We won some money, did we? That's something!

0:06:210:06:24

James and Michael on £500.

0:06:240:06:26

Kerri and Sue, Dave and Colin, yet to bank any money.

Right. How do you want to use your two links?

0:08:350:08:39

Well, shall we just go for some cash?

0:08:390:08:41

-I think we'll get some cash in the bowls. Yes, please.

you are said to be scrapping the bottom of the...?

-Rolls? You get barrel rolls.

0:09:180:09:21

Yeah, types of containers, as well, barrels. Yeah.

0:09:210:09:24

Things that hold beer or wine in. Shall we have a guess?

0:09:250:09:28

-What do you want to have a guess on? Pick one.

-Uh...

0:09:280:09:31

-Transporting alcohol containers?

-OK. We'll go for that.

0:09:310:09:34

Containers for alcohol.

0:09:360:09:37

Is the link, containers for alcohol?

0:09:370:09:40

Everyone back in play. For three links.

0:09:430:09:47

0:09:590:10:02

Drum is correct.

0:10:020:10:03

It's an Irish design of drum.

0:10:050:10:07

Barrel, drum. What's the link?

0:10:070:10:09

I'm thinking barrel roll, drum roll.

0:10:090:10:12

-Right.

-Yeah? With me on that?

-Yeah.

0:10:120:10:15

-Go for it, sounds good to me.

-A roll. Types of roll.

0:10:150:10:19

Is the link types of roll?

0:10:190:10:21

APPLAUSE

0:10:230:10:25

Remaining clues were California roll, type of sushi, and bread roll.

0:10:260:10:32

-Michael, you said barrel roll.

-Yeah.

-Oh, well.

0:10:320:10:36

Unfortunately, you didn't go with it.

0:10:360:10:39

Dave and Colin, how do you want to use your three links?

0:10:390:10:43

-What are you thinking?

-I think take the first link off the £125 pod.

0:10:430:10:48

Yeah?

0:10:480:10:49

Then one off of each of the 2,000 and 1,000?

0:10:490:10:55

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-Agreed.

0:10:550:10:57

Let's take one link from the 2,000 pod,

0:10:570:11:01

one from the 1,000,

0:11:010:11:04

and one from the 125,

0:11:040:11:07

which releases that into your bank.

0:11:070:11:09

APPLAUSE

0:11:110:11:13

Right.

0:11:130:11:15

James and Michael have £500 in their bank,

0:11:150:11:18

Kerri and Sue haven't decided

0:11:180:11:19

how much they're going to have in their bank yet,

0:11:190:11:22

Dave and Colin have £425.

0:11:220:11:25

With £3,750 remaining on the screen, stand by.

0:11:250:11:29

You're all in play for four links.

0:11:290:11:31

Which football club plays its home games at Carrow Road...?

0:11:330:11:37

-BUZZER

-Colin.

0:11:370:11:39

Norwich City.

0:11:390:11:40

..and is nicknamed the Canaries? Norwich City, yeah.

0:11:400:11:43

First clue. Dave and Colin, what's the link?

0:11:450:11:47

Cathedrals?

0:11:470:11:49

Yep, I like that.

0:11:490:11:51

Yeah, it's a very difficult one to guess now,

0:11:510:11:53

but obviously it's something that's important to its city.

0:11:530:11:56

So Norwich City has a cathedral, you're right.

0:11:560:11:58

So cathedrals is one option, anything else?

0:11:580:12:00

Is the link cathedrals?

0:12:020:12:04

Is the link cathedrals?

0:12:040:12:06

No, it's not. All back in play.

0:12:070:12:10

Stand by, your next question for three links.

0:12:100:12:13

Which British organisation was formerly called

0:12:130:12:16

The Society of Film and Television Arts?

0:12:160:12:19

-BUZZER

-Kerri.

0:12:190:12:21

BAFTA?

0:12:210:12:22

BAFTA is right.

0:12:220:12:24

Norwich City, BAFTA. What's the link, Kerri and Sue?

0:12:240:12:28

I was thinking Delia Smith?

0:12:280:12:31

Because she is Chairman, or she does something with Norwich City.

0:12:310:12:35

But I don't know what...

0:12:350:12:36

-Do you think she ever won a BAFTA for her cooking shows?

-I don't know.

0:12:360:12:41

-I suppose she could be involved with them but I'm not sure.

-Yeah.

0:12:410:12:44

The only thing I thought was Alan Partridge,

0:12:440:12:45

because he famously comes from Norwich.

0:12:450:12:47

-Alan Partridge could be a good one.

-Don't know if he's won a BAFTA.

0:12:470:12:51

-Ah, Alan Partridge?

-Is the link Alan Partridge?

-I doubt it.

0:12:510:12:54

No.

0:12:550:12:57

OK, all back in play, for two links.

0:12:570:13:00

Which comic actor released the blues album, Didn't It Rain...?

Uh, Hugh Laurie?

0:13:060:13:07

..in 2013? Hugh Laurie's correct.

0:13:070:13:10

Norwich City, BAFTA, Hugh Laurie. James and Michael, what's the link?

0:13:100:13:14

-It's Stephen Fry.

-Yes!

-Cos he's a Norwich supporter.

-He loves Norwich.

0:13:140:13:17

-OK, do it.

-The link between those is Stephen Fry.

0:13:170:13:22

Is the link Stephen Fry?

0:13:220:13:24

-Oh.

-CHEERING

0:13:260:13:27

There you go.

0:13:270:13:28

The remaining link was QI.

0:13:280:13:32

Yes, Stephen Fry became a director

0:13:320:13:34

of Norwich City Football Club in 2010,

0:13:340:13:38

he's hosted BAFTA award ceremonies,

0:13:380:13:41

he was a partner with Hugh Laurie in a very successful comedic act

0:13:410:13:46

and he hosts QI, correct.

0:13:460:13:48

-How do you want to use your two links?

-Uh...

0:13:480:13:51

I would say play it safe, take one off the 2,000, one off the 750.

0:13:510:13:55

-Yeah.

-OK.

-Sounds like a good plan.

-Right.

0:13:550:13:57

One off the 2,000

0:13:570:14:00

and one off the 750...

0:14:000:14:02

..leaving four on the 1,000,

0:14:040:14:07

four on the 2,000

0:14:070:14:08

and three on the 750.

0:14:080:14:10

Why was that playing it safe?

0:14:110:14:13

I would have said it's easier to get three links than four,

0:14:130:14:17

so if I had taken one off the 1,000,

0:14:170:14:20

then someone could have taken the 1,000.

0:14:200:14:23

-But then, so could you.

-LAUGHTER

0:14:230:14:25

Right, stand by. You're all back in play for four links.

0:14:250:14:29

Complete the title of the 1954 film,

0:14:320:14:35

starring Judy Garland, A WHAT Is Born?

0:14:350:14:38

-BUZZER

-Dave.

0:14:380:14:40

-A Star Is Born.

-Star.

0:14:400:14:42

Correct, A Star Is Born.

0:14:420:14:45

Your first clue. Dave and Colin, what's the link?

0:14:450:14:47

Oh. Star.

0:14:470:14:49

There's lots of stars, isn't there? You ever seen any in the sky?

0:14:490:14:52

Newspaper.

0:14:520:14:53

-Newspapers.

-Anything else?

0:14:530:14:56

Star...

0:14:560:14:58

-Newspaper?

-Is the link newspapers?

0:14:590:15:01

Is the link newspapers?

0:15:010:15:03

APPLAUSE

0:15:050:15:07

Well done, mate.

0:15:100:15:12

Remaining clues were

0:15:120:15:15

Mirror, Sun, Express.

0:15:150:15:17

Colin, did that just leap in your head? Cos it just came, didn't it?

0:15:170:15:20

I think it's a combination of that and having nothing else going on.

0:15:200:15:23

-Brilliant.

-LAUGHTER

0:15:230:15:25

-So, panic and desperation?

-Yeah.

0:15:250:15:27

How do you want to use your FOUR links?

0:15:270:15:29

-Take it away.

-I think it's fairly obviously what we're going to do.

0:15:290:15:33

I think we need to go for the £2,000

0:15:330:15:37

and take the four off of the £2,000, please, Mark.

0:15:370:15:39

Let's cut the four links on the £2,000 pod.

0:15:390:15:43

-And there it goes.

-APPLAUSE

0:15:470:15:51

Which means, Dave and Colin, with a rather satisfying £2,425

0:15:560:16:01

in your bank, you are guaranteed to go through to the next round.

0:16:010:16:06

Well done, mate.

0:16:060:16:07

James and Michael, Kerri and Sue, you have every chance.

0:16:070:16:11

Right, all back in play.

0:16:110:16:13

Stand by for four links.

0:16:130:16:15

Which tennis player and former Wimbledon champion

0:16:180:16:21

is nicknamed the King of Clay?

0:16:210:16:24

-BUZZER

-Michael.

0:16:240:16:26

Nadal. Rafael Nadal.

0:16:260:16:28

Rafael Nadal is right.

0:16:280:16:30

First clue, what's the link?

0:16:320:16:34

I think that tennis players is a bit of an obvious one.

0:16:360:16:40

Injuries, perhaps?

0:16:400:16:41

Because he had his career sort of derail by injuries, didn't he?

0:16:410:16:44

I don't know if that's specific enough, what have we got?

0:16:440:16:46

-Spanish sport stars?

-Why not? Chuck it out there.

0:16:460:16:49

We're going for the link as Spanish sport stars.

0:16:490:16:54

Is the link Spanish sport stars?

0:16:540:16:57

No. Good idea, but wrong.

0:16:590:17:02

Right, you're all back in play.

0:17:040:17:05

Stand by, your next question, for three links.

0:17:050:17:08

The actor who played Aron Ralston in the film 127...?

0:17:080:17:12

-BUZZER

-Kerri.

0:17:120:17:14

James Franco.

0:17:140:17:15

..127 Hours is James who?

0:17:150:17:19

Franco, correct.

0:17:190:17:20

Rafael Nadal, Franco.

0:17:220:17:25

Kerri and Sue, what's the link?

0:17:250:17:27

-Oh, we are no good with sports, are we?

-Absolutely not, whatsoever.

0:17:270:17:31

Which I'm thinking, Rafael Nadal, Franco?

0:17:310:17:33

-Yeah. Is he...

-I don't...

-Maybe Spain?

0:17:330:17:38

-Spain, that's all I've got.

-OK. Spain?

0:17:380:17:41

Is the link Spain?

0:17:410:17:42

-Yup.

-APPLAUSE

0:17:440:17:46

Yeah, James and Michael, not Spanish sports stars, Spain.

0:17:510:17:56

The remaining clues were Ibiza, The White Isle,

0:17:560:17:59

Madrid, the capital.

0:17:590:18:01

Franco, the ex-dictator. Rafael Nadal, Spanish sportsman.

0:18:010:18:04

Right.

0:18:040:18:06

Kerri and Sue, how do you want to use your three links?

0:18:060:18:10

I think we know what to do.

0:18:100:18:13

Yeah, we'd like to cut the three links for the 750 pod, please.

0:18:130:18:16

Let's cut the three links on the £750 pod...

0:18:160:18:20

..which will hurtle...

0:18:240:18:27

APPLAUSE

0:18:270:18:28

..over the net with a bit of spin

0:18:300:18:34

into Kerri and Sue's bank.

0:18:340:18:36

However, £750 does not guarantee

0:18:360:18:38

that you go through to the next round.

0:18:380:18:41

The same applies to James and Michael.

0:18:410:18:44

There is £1,000 left on the screen with four links holding it.

0:18:440:18:49

All back in play, stand by, for four links.

0:18:500:18:54

What name is given to the circlet of light often shown

0:18:560:18:59

above the head of a saint or angel...?

0:18:590:19:01

-BUZZER

-Michael.

0:19:010:19:02

Halo.

0:19:020:19:03

..or angel to represent their holiness?

0:19:030:19:07

Halo. Correct.

0:19:070:19:09

Halo, there's your first clue, what's the link, James and Michael?

0:19:090:19:13

Shooter games? We've got to go for shooter games.

0:19:130:19:15

-There's Beyonce songs.

-Oh, God, yeah.

0:19:150:19:18

There's shooter games.

0:19:180:19:20

Just pick one and go for it, mate.

0:19:200:19:24

I'm going to go for Beyonce songs.

0:19:240:19:28

Interesting bit of teamwork, there. Or rather not.

0:19:280:19:31

LAUGHTER

0:19:310:19:33

-If it works...

-Is the link Beyonce songs?

0:19:330:19:35

No.

0:19:420:19:43

Stand by, all back in play,

0:19:430:19:46

for three links.

0:19:460:19:48

What colour paintwork gives Istanbul's Sultan Ahmed Mosque

0:19:480:19:51

its alternative name?

0:19:510:19:54

-BUZZER

-James.

0:19:550:19:57

Blue.

0:19:570:19:59

Is correct.

0:19:590:20:01

APPLAUSE

0:20:030:20:04

Halo, Blue. What's the link?

0:20:040:20:07

Now we've got to guess the link. I have no...

0:20:090:20:11

They're not video games series, I don't know one called Blue.

0:20:110:20:14

-You have two clues.

-A band?

0:20:140:20:16

-Yes.

-Blue are a band. Bands?

0:20:160:20:19

Boy bands, even.

0:20:190:20:20

Is the link boy bands?

0:20:200:20:22

No. OK, everyone back in play.

0:20:250:20:28

Stand by for two links.

0:20:280:20:31

In 1922, the tomb of Tutankhamun

0:20:310:20:34

was discovered by the archaeologist Howard...?

0:20:340:20:36

-BUZZER

-Michael.

0:20:360:20:38

Carter.

0:20:390:20:41

..Howard who? Howard Carter is correct.

0:20:410:20:44

Halo, Blue, Carter.

0:20:460:20:48

What's the link?

0:20:480:20:50

That... I am at a loss, here.

0:20:500:20:54

It's not boy bands, we've said Halo...

0:20:540:20:56

Say shooter games, we might as well.

0:20:560:20:58

Uh, shooter games.

0:20:580:21:00

Is the link shooter games?

0:21:000:21:02

No.

0:21:040:21:05

-You were dying to say that.

-LAUGHTER

0:21:050:21:08

-And it was wrong.

-And you were wrong.

0:21:080:21:10

All back in play, stand by. Your next question, for one link.

0:21:100:21:13

Which rapper collaborated with Kanye West on the 2011...?

0:21:130:21:16

-BUZZER

-Kerri.

0:21:190:21:22

Jay Z is correct.

0:21:220:21:24

Halo, Blue, Carter, Jay Z.

0:21:240:21:26

Kerri and Sue, what's the link?

0:21:260:21:28

-It's Beyonce.

-Beyonce.

-Yep.

0:21:280:21:30

-LAUGHTER

-Is the link Beyonce?

0:21:300:21:32

-Yep.

-APPLAUSE

0:21:340:21:36

-Oh, God.

-I knew that from Blue.

0:21:360:21:39

Oh. It was just Beyonce, not Beyonce songs.

0:21:410:21:45

OK, Halo, Top Ten hit,

0:21:450:21:47

Blue, her daughter Blue Ivy,

0:21:470:21:50

Carter, her married name,

0:21:500:21:51

Jay Z, her husband, real name, Shawn Carter.

0:21:510:21:55

Right, how do you want to use your link?

0:21:550:21:57

-Going to take one link off the 1,000.

-Yeah, obviously.

0:21:570:22:01

-LAUGHTER

-And there it goes.

0:22:010:22:03

Nice one. OK, right.

0:22:030:22:06

All back in play, for four links.

0:22:060:22:09

By what four letter name is the killer whale commonly known?

0:22:110:22:14

-BUZZER

-Colin.

0:22:140:22:16

-Orca.

-Orca, correct.

0:22:160:22:18

Orca. First clue, what's the link?

0:22:180:22:22

-Well.

-I don't know what else that relates to.

-Orca...

0:22:220:22:26

Know it's a killer whale.

0:22:260:22:27

Just trying to think, was it a name for something else?

0:22:270:22:31

What was the boat in Jaws called?

0:22:310:22:33

Don't know. Um, no idea.

0:22:330:22:36

-Guess.

-Jaws.

0:22:360:22:38

Is the link Jaws?

0:22:390:22:41

No.

0:22:430:22:45

You're all back in play.

0:22:450:22:46

You're next question, for three links.

0:22:460:22:50

Which island of the West Indies is divided into Haiti...?

0:22:500:22:53

-BUZZER

-James.

0:22:530:22:55

Dominican Republic.

0:22:570:22:59

But that's the other side...

0:22:590:23:01

Nope.

0:23:010:23:03

Which island of the West Indies is divided into

0:23:030:23:06

Haiti and the Dominican Republic?

0:23:060:23:09

Anybody?

0:23:130:23:14

No? The answer is Hispaniola.

0:23:150:23:18

Orca, Hispaniola.

0:23:200:23:23

Nobody has a chance to guess that link but you're all back in play.

0:23:230:23:27

For two links.

0:23:270:23:28

Who is the Greek god of the sea and the brother of...?

0:23:280:23:31

-BUZZER

-Colin.

0:23:310:23:33

Neptune?

0:23:330:23:35

No.

0:23:350:23:36

-BUZZER

-James.

0:23:360:23:38

Poseidon.

0:23:380:23:39

Who is the Greek god of the sea and the brother of Zeus and Hades?

0:23:390:23:43

Poseidon.

0:23:430:23:45

Orca, Hispaniola, Poseidon. What's the link?

0:23:450:23:48

Boats from films.

0:23:480:23:50

Is the link boats from films?

0:23:520:23:55

APPLAUSE

0:23:570:23:59

Right. The remaining clue was...

0:24:010:24:04

..Argo.

0:24:050:24:06

You gave us more information than we needed but actually,

0:24:060:24:10

rather marvellously, they have all appeared in films.

0:24:100:24:13

Orca was the boat in Jaws that you, Colin and Dave,

0:24:130:24:18

were heading towards. Hispaniola was in Treasure Island.

0:24:180:24:23

Poseidon in The Poseidon Adventure and Argo in Jason And The...?

0:24:230:24:27

-Argonauts.

-Argonauts. OK, how do you want to use your two links?

0:24:270:24:30

I think we need time to decide about this one.

0:24:300:24:33

LAUGHTER

0:24:330:24:34

-We'll take two from the 1,000, please.

-Good. Let's do that.

0:24:340:24:37

OK.

0:24:410:24:42

£1,000 remaining with one link,

0:24:420:24:44

which will decide who joins Dave and Colin in the next round.

0:24:440:24:48

You're all back in play, stand by for four links.

0:24:480:24:51

The 1982 survivor hit from the Rocky 3 soundtrack was...?

0:24:530:24:57

-BUZZER

-Sue.

0:24:570:24:59

-Tiger?

-No.

0:24:590:25:01

..was what?

0:25:010:25:02

-BUZZER

-James.

0:25:020:25:05

-Eye Of The Tiger.

-Eye is correct.

0:25:050:25:08

Eye. James and Michael, what's the link?

0:25:080:25:10

Let's not go too specific, we've been too specific too much, I think.

0:25:100:25:13

-All right, yeah.

-Body parts.

0:25:130:25:15

Is the link body parts?

0:25:170:25:19

No.

0:25:250:25:26

You're all back in play, for three links.

0:25:260:25:29

What five letter name is usually given to the part of a river

0:25:290:25:33

where it enters the...?

0:25:330:25:34

-BUZZER

-Michael.

0:25:340:25:37

CLEARS THROAT LOUDLY

0:25:370:25:39

I failed geography.

0:25:390:25:42

Time's out.

0:25:420:25:43

-BUZZER

-Sue?

0:25:430:25:45

Mouth.

0:25:450:25:46

What five letter name is usually given to the part of a river

0:25:460:25:50

where it enters the sea, sometimes forming a delta?

0:25:500:25:53

Mouth.

0:25:530:25:54

Correct. Eye, mouth.

0:25:540:25:57

Kerri and Sue, what's the link?

0:25:570:25:59

I can't handle the tension. I can't.

0:25:590:26:01

-Nor me. Hurry up.

-Facial features, parts of the face?

0:26:010:26:04

-Parts of the face.

-Yeah.

-Got to be.

-Yeah.

0:26:040:26:08

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-OK, yeah.

0:26:080:26:10

We're going to go with parts of the face.

0:26:100:26:12

Is the link parts of the face?

0:26:120:26:15

CHEERING

0:26:160:26:18

The remaining clues were chin and lip.

0:26:230:26:27

Let's cut that link.

0:26:270:26:29

Which puts that £1,000 in Kerri and Sue's bank.

0:26:320:26:35

CHEERING

0:26:350:26:37

Which means that Dave and Colin, with £2,425, will be going through

0:26:400:26:45

to the next round and joining them now

0:26:450:26:49

will be Kerri and Sue with £1,750.

0:26:490:26:52

James and Michael...

0:26:520:26:54

Just too general.

0:26:540:26:55

We were too specific before, now we're too general.

0:26:550:26:58

I know, you said you were too specific, let's go general.

0:26:580:27:01

-LAUGHTER

-Wrong, wrong.

0:27:010:27:02

However, you played brilliantly.

0:27:020:27:05

But you only banked £500 and so we're going to have to say

0:27:050:27:09

goodbye to you both.

0:27:090:27:11

Thanks very much, I'm sure there is a glittering future

0:27:110:27:15

-ahead for both of you.

-LAUGHTER

0:27:150:27:17

-Thanks for playing.

-APPLAUSE

0:27:170:27:19

Thank you very much.

0:27:190:27:20

Kerri and Sue, and Dave and Colin, you're still in the game.

0:27:250:27:29

Kerri and Sue, you banked £1,750.

0:27:290:27:32

Dave and Colin, you banked £2,425.

0:27:320:27:37

That money is now in these two cash pods,

0:27:370:27:40

each held by seven links.

0:27:400:27:42

The first team to cut all the links and release their cash pod

0:27:420:27:45

takes their money through to the final round.

0:27:450:27:47

The other team will be out.

0:27:470:27:50

And now you can be as brave or as cautious as you like,

0:27:500:27:54

because you decide how many links you want to cut.

0:27:540:27:57

I'm going to ask you to identify a person,

0:27:570:27:59

place or thing from a series of clues and you tell me

0:27:590:28:03

whether you want to play for one, two, three or four links.

0:28:030:28:07

But the more links you play for, the fewer clues you receive.

0:28:070:28:11

We start with the team who has brought the most money

0:28:110:28:13

through to this round and that is Dave and Colin.

0:28:130:28:17

Stand by, round two.

0:28:190:28:21

The first question is asking

0:28:210:28:23

Who Am I?

0:28:230:28:25

Dave and Colin, how many links?

0:28:250:28:27

-I think we'll start off fairly safe, yeah?

-Yeah, start off safe, with...

0:28:270:28:30

-Two?

-Two, please.

0:28:300:28:31

You're going to start off fairly safe and then get really dangerous?

0:28:310:28:34

-Of course.

-Good, like it.

-That's us.

0:28:340:28:36

Right, for two links, here are your clues. Who am I?

0:28:360:28:39

-Any thoughts?

-I'm thinking literature.

0:28:580:29:01

Copenhagen, isn't the...

0:29:010:29:03

-He wrote those stories. Got something with M.N., is it?

-Hans...

-Yeah.

0:29:050:29:08

-..Christian Andersen.

-Who am I?

0:29:080:29:11

Hans Christian Andersen, we're going to have a crack at.

0:29:110:29:14

Am I Hans Christian Andersen?

0:29:140:29:16

-Yes.

-CHEERING

0:29:180:29:19

-Of course I am.

-Well done.

0:29:190:29:21

The last clue would have been...

0:29:210:29:23

And there is a little mermaid statue in Copenhagen Harbour.

0:29:270:29:30

Let's cut those links.

0:29:300:29:32

Right, Kerri and Sue.

0:29:350:29:36

Your question will be asking...

0:29:360:29:38

..Who Am I? How many links?

0:29:400:29:42

-Safe as well?

-Yeah. It is the first one.

0:29:420:29:44

-First one, ease into it.

-Yeah.

0:29:440:29:46

-I think so.

-Two links, please.

0:29:460:29:48

Right, easing into it for two links.

0:29:480:29:51

Here are your clues, who am I?

0:29:510:29:53

-I have been on the A52 between Nottingham and Derby.

-Have you?

0:30:120:30:16

-Yeah.

-Can you remember what it was called?

-Um, no.

0:30:160:30:19

Someone who does something on water?

0:30:190:30:23

Answer, please.

0:30:230:30:24

I've absolutely no idea.

0:30:270:30:28

No, out of time.

0:30:280:30:31

Dave and Colin, you now have a chance to nick a link.

0:30:310:30:34

You'll see the remaining clue for the chance

0:30:340:30:38

to cut a single link from your cash pod.

0:30:380:30:40

And it is...

0:30:400:30:41

Yeah, know who it is.

0:30:500:30:51

You know who it is, as well. Best footballer in...

0:30:510:30:53

-You can tell me, if you like.

-LAUGHTER

0:30:530:30:55

I feel like calling him Ol' Big 'Ead. Brian Clough.

0:30:550:30:58

Am I Brian Clough?

0:30:580:31:00

APPLAUSE

0:31:020:31:03

Yep. That's right, you've nicked a link.

0:31:040:31:08

Let's cut that link.

0:31:080:31:09

And Dave and Colin, it's now your turn.

0:31:100:31:13

Your question will be asking...

0:31:130:31:15

..What Am I? How many links?

0:31:160:31:19

-Same again?

-Same again, yeah.

0:31:190:31:20

We're going to go two, please.

0:31:200:31:22

-You're going to go for two again.

-Yes, please.

0:31:220:31:24

So you're not going to go dangerous?

0:31:240:31:25

We're working towards it, we're getting there.

0:31:250:31:27

We're working towards it. For two links, here are your clues.

0:31:270:31:30

What am I?

0:31:300:31:31

I think we know, I think the China and the bamboo gives it away.

0:31:490:31:53

It helps.

0:31:530:31:54

Panda, please.

0:31:540:31:56

Giant Panda.

0:31:560:31:58

Giant Panda.

0:31:580:31:59

OK. Right, am I a Giant Panda?

0:31:590:32:02

-Yep.

-Boom. APPLAUSE

0:32:040:32:06

Remaining clue was...

0:32:060:32:07

Let's cut those two links.

0:32:120:32:13

And there they go. Right. Kerri and Sue, you're still on seven links.

0:32:160:32:22

Your question will be asking What Am I? How many links?

0:32:220:32:27

-OK, do we go bold?

-We've got to be a little bit bolder.

0:32:270:32:31

-Let's just give it a go, what have we got to lose?

-So, three links?

0:32:310:32:35

-Yeah.

-Yeah, three links, please.

0:32:350:32:37

For three links, here are your clues.

0:32:370:32:39

What am I?

0:32:390:32:41

-What do you think?

-I was thinking maybe the Shard?

0:32:570:33:01

Oh, maybe.

0:33:010:33:02

Cos that's all glass, isn't it?

0:33:020:33:04

Oh, we've seen it, haven't we?

0:33:040:33:05

Yeah, we have. We've definitely seen it at some point.

0:33:050:33:07

-I was thinking the Empire State Building.

-What am I?

0:33:070:33:10

I don't know how many windows that's got in it.

0:33:100:33:13

Um, the Shard?

0:33:130:33:15

Am I the Shard?

0:33:150:33:17

-Aww.

-No.

0:33:200:33:21

Dave and Colin, you now have a chance to nick a link.

0:33:230:33:25

Here are the remaining clues.

0:33:250:33:27

-Sure?

-Without a doubt.

0:33:420:33:45

I think, without a doubt, it's the Empire State Building.

0:33:450:33:49

Am I the Empire State Building?

0:33:490:33:51

APPLAUSE

0:33:550:33:57

You said that, did you?

0:33:570:33:59

Right, Dave and Colin, you've nicked a link.

0:33:590:34:01

That means we cut one link from your pod.

0:34:010:34:04

And it's your turn.

0:34:060:34:08

Your question will be asking...

0:34:080:34:09

..Who Am I?

0:34:110:34:13

Dave and Colin, how many links?

0:34:130:34:15

It works quite well with our bold approach

0:34:150:34:17

that we was getting ready for.

0:34:170:34:18

-I think it's ready to live dangerously.

-We're ready.

0:34:180:34:21

We'll go for one.

0:34:210:34:22

-Yeah, one link.

-Right.

-LAUGHTER

0:34:220:34:24

Yeah, one.

0:34:270:34:28

With extreme abandon, Dave and Colin, for one link,

0:34:280:34:32

here are your clues. Who am I?

0:34:320:34:34

-Yeah?

-Yeah. It's our very own Florence Nightingale.

0:34:580:35:03

Am I Florence Nightingale?

0:35:030:35:05

-Yes.

-APPLAUSE

0:35:070:35:09

-Well done, mate.

-That were good, weren't it?

0:35:110:35:14

Florence, the city of her birth.

0:35:150:35:17

Florence Nightingale.

0:35:170:35:19

Let's cut your final link.

0:35:190:35:21

CHEERING

0:35:270:35:28

Well done, Dave and Colin.

0:35:310:35:32

You're through to the final round and that cash goes with you.

0:35:340:35:37

However, we have to say goodbye to Kerri and Sue.

0:35:370:35:40

-AUDIENCE:

-Aww.

0:35:400:35:42

-You played really well.

-Luck of the draw, isn't it?

-Yeah.

-Gave it a go.

0:35:420:35:46

-We did.

-You certainly did.

0:35:460:35:47

-Thanks for playing The Link.

-Thank you.

-Thanks.

0:35:490:35:52

APPLAUSE

0:35:520:35:54

Dave and Colin, you are today's finalists.

0:35:560:35:59

You've brought through £2,425

0:35:590:36:03

and we're adding £2,000 to that,

0:36:030:36:07

making your maximum win today £4,425.

0:36:070:36:12

APPLAUSE

0:36:120:36:14

If you win it, what will you do with it?

0:36:170:36:21

Um, I think a holiday with my two daughters and my partner

0:36:210:36:25

-would be very nice, yeah.

-Colin?

0:36:250:36:29

Yeah, I'd like to get back to Venice, we went there a little while ago.

0:36:290:36:32

-Did you?

-Yeah, it was a lovely place.

0:36:320:36:34

-La Serenissima.

-Yeah.

0:36:340:36:37

LAUGHTER Of course.

0:36:370:36:39

-It's its nickname, kind of like The Big Apple. Yeah.

-So, no.

0:36:390:36:42

That's what I'd like to do.

0:36:420:36:44

We'd like to get back there on my anniversary in September, if we can.

0:36:440:36:48

Oh, that's nice. Dave, where would you go?

0:36:480:36:50

I've got a baby girl so we'd probably want to stay quite local.

0:36:500:36:53

-Cornwall is a lovely part of the world.

-Yeah, marvellous.

0:36:530:36:57

Right, to take that money home, you have just 60 seconds

0:36:570:37:01

to find six superlinks.

0:37:010:37:03

At each level, you need to identify the link between ten one-word clues.

0:37:030:37:07

AS soon as you think you know the answer,

0:37:070:37:09

buzz in and we'll stop the clock.

0:37:090:37:11

If you are right, you can take that money home, but choose to play on

0:37:110:37:16

and your team-mate will tackle the next superlink.

0:37:160:37:19

But if you're wrong, the play stays with you,

0:37:190:37:22

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

0:37:220:37:26

Run out of time and you leave without any doings

0:37:260:37:29

or whatshername or whojokapivvy.

0:37:290:37:32

LAUGHTER

0:37:320:37:34

-Who's going to play first?

-I'm going to play first.

-Colin, good.

0:37:340:37:37

You're on your own. The clock will start when you see the first clue.

0:37:370:37:41

Stand by. Are you ready?

0:37:410:37:42

BUZZER

0:37:490:37:51

Are they record labels?

0:37:510:37:52

Are they record labels?

0:37:540:37:55

-Indeed, they are.

-APPLAUSE

0:37:560:37:59

The remaining labels were...

0:38:000:38:02

That puts you on £125, Dave and Colin.

0:38:080:38:13

With 55 seconds remaining on the clock, you now have a choice.

0:38:130:38:17

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

0:38:170:38:20

I think we're going to play on.

0:38:220:38:24

Your turn now.

0:38:240:38:26

You're on your own, the clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:38:260:38:29

BUZZER

0:38:340:38:35

0:38:370:38:38

No.

0:38:430:38:45

Indian, Vincent, Douglas, Matchless

0:38:450:38:47

and the remaining types of motorbikes were...

0:38:470:38:50

They're all motorbikes.

0:38:550:38:57

Which means, Dave, play stays with you and you face a new superlink.

0:38:570:39:02

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

0:39:020:39:09

BUZZER

0:39:220:39:23

They're American teams.

0:39:260:39:29

I think they're American sports teams.

0:39:290:39:33

Is the link American sports teams?

0:39:340:39:37

No. The last basketball team was...

0:39:410:39:44

Sorry, mate.

0:39:460:39:47

Dave, play stays with you and you face a new superlink.

0:39:470:39:50

38 seconds left on the clock,

0:39:500:39:52

which will restart when the first clue appears.

0:39:520:39:55

BUZZER

0:40:130:40:14

Hospitals?

0:40:170:40:20

Is the link hospitals?

0:40:200:40:22

No, it's Oxford colleges.

0:40:250:40:28

Play stays with you, Dave, and you face a new superlink.

0:40:290:40:33

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

0:40:330:40:39

BUZZER

0:40:530:40:54

-Dad's Army.

-Is the link Dad's Army?

0:40:540:40:57

APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

0:41:000:41:02

The remaining clues were...

0:41:020:41:04

Right. Dave and Colin, that puts you on £300.

0:41:080:41:13

With 13 seconds remaining on the clock, you have a choice.

0:41:140:41:18

You can take the money and go, or you can play on.

0:41:180:41:21

Just let it run down, yeah, and have a go?

0:41:210:41:24

Have a go, I've had a nightmare with mine.

0:41:240:41:26

We'll have a go. APPLAUSE

0:41:260:41:27

So, Colin,

0:41:320:41:35

with the true Dad's Army spirit of having a go,

0:41:350:41:40

-it's your turn now.

-OK.

-You're on your own.

0:41:400:41:43

The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:41:430:41:46

BUZZER

0:42:010:42:03

No.

0:42:070:42:09

You're out of time.

0:42:090:42:12

The correct answer was...

0:42:120:42:14

The remaining clue was...

0:42:160:42:18

-Did you know it, Dave?

-Only...

0:42:200:42:23

Would have got it with Puck, maybe.

0:42:230:42:26

Dave and Colin, you're out of time, so you're leaving with nothing.

0:42:260:42:31

It's been a lovely day.

0:42:320:42:34

We had a great time and it's been a nice experience.

0:42:340:42:36

That's good enough for us, we've had a good day.

0:42:360:42:38

-Money would have been nice.

-Yeah, clearly.

-But, you know...

0:42:380:42:41

-And you got through to the final with some style.

-Good.

0:42:410:42:45

Dave and Colin,

0:42:450:42:47

longest way up, wobble wobble wobble.

0:42:470:42:49

Shortest way down.
