Hello. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:19 | |
I'm Mark Williams, and welcome to The Link, | 0:00:19 | 0:00:21 | |
where knowing the answers is only half the battle. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:24 | |
To win this game, you have to find the link between the answers. | 0:00:24 | 0:00:28 | |
Three teams hoping to make the right connections, | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
but only one of them can be in today's final. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:33 | |
Let's see who is prepared, primed, and proficient. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
I'm Julie, a former banker from Kent, | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
and this is my husband. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
I'm Alan, a plumber from Kent. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:47 | |

-And as Julie pointed out, the link is you're married. -That's correct. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
Alan, is this true | 0:00:52 | 0:00:53 | |
that you and your long-term squash partner | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |

Well, it's the medication, usually. Whose medication kicks in first. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
-LAUGHTER -OK. Good. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
Because I've got a thing about golf. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
I'm terrible, and I haven't played for years. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
-I think it's better when you don't score. -Oh, we don't score. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
-You don't score? You just... -We just hit the ball. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |

-You got your arm stuck in a postbox. -Yeah, not my finest hour. -No? | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
And the other one was...? | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
-I got stuck in a phone box. -You got locked in a phone box. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
Now, that to me, is a unique double. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
Hand in letter box, and locked in a phone box. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |

Cos recently, there's been a cupcake explosion, hasn't there? | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
There has. Where I come from, we prefer to call them "fairy cakes". | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |

-Do you think we've...? -It's had a few challengers. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |

OK. Excellent. Rita and Rachel, welcome. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:53 | |
Welcome all. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:54 | |
Now, pay attention. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
Here are six cash pods, | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
containing amounts ranging from £125-£2,000. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:03 | |
The more cash in the pod, the more links holding it. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
What you have to do is cut the links holding the pods | 0:03:05 | 0:03:08 | |
until they drop down into your bank. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:11 | |
And here's how you cut the links. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
I'm going to ask you four questions. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
You have to work out what links the answers. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
If you can find that link from the first answer alone, | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
you'll be able to cut four of those links. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
If you spot it after the second answer, | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
you can cut three links. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
Then two. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:30 | |
Then one. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
Salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard, and of course the link here is... | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |

Condiments. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
Very good. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
You need to bank as much as you can, | 0:03:41 | 0:03:43 | |
because the team with the least amount of money | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
at the end of this round will be going home. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |

Julie. | 0:24:34 | 0:24:35 | |
Perfect Storm? | 0:24:35 | 0:24:37 | |
The 2000 film starring George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg | 0:24:37 | 0:24:41 | |
as fishermen caught in a freak weather event is the Perfect what? | 0:24:41 | 0:24:45 | |
Storm, yes. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:46 | |
What's the link? | 0:24:49 | 0:24:50 | |
I'm guessing from the Wolverine. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
I don't know any of the others. But Storm is an X-Men character. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:55 | |
-Yes, yes. -We'll try the X-Men. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:57 | |
Is the link the X-Men? | 0:24:58 | 0:25:00 | |
Sorry, guys! | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
Very good. Right, let's cut that link. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:09 | |
Right, I need hardly tell you what's at stake, so I won't. | 0:25:11 | 0:25:16 | |
For four links... | 0:25:16 | 0:25:17 | |
Stand by. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:20 | |
If you move forward in a positive way, | 0:25:20 | 0:25:23 | |
you are said to put your best what... | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
Dan. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:26 | |
Foot. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:27 | |
Your best foot forward, correct. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:30 | |
One clue, what's the link? | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
-I think measurements. -You think? -Yeah. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
Or parts of the body. | 0:25:36 | 0:25:37 | |
-Yeah, I think measurements. -All right, we'll go with that. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:40 | |
Go on, then. Measurements, please. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:42 | |
Is the link measurements? | 0:25:42 | 0:25:43 | |
No. Everyone back in play. Stand by. There's only two links remaining. | 0:25:45 | 0:25:48 | |
This question is for three links. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
What type of bird is a parakeet? | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
BUZZER | 0:25:53 | 0:25:54 | |
Julie. | 0:25:54 | 0:25:55 | |
-Parrot. -It is a parrot. | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
-Doctor Dolittle has a parrot, doesn't he? -Yeah... -Oh, oh! | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
What about Treasure Island? | 0:26:05 | 0:26:06 | |
Treasure Island, that's what I was going to say. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
Cos he doesn't have one, did he? Foot, though? I don't think so. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
-What's the link? -Shall we try it? | 0:26:11 | 0:26:13 | |
-Yeah, try it. -We'll try Treasure Island. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:14 | |
Is the link Treasure Island? | 0:26:14 | 0:26:16 | |
No. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:19 | |
Right, for two links, stand by. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
If someone is lazy, they're said to be bone... | 0:26:24 | 0:26:26 | |
BUZZER | 0:26:26 | 0:26:27 | |
Daniel. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
-Idle. -Yes. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:30 | |
What's the link? | 0:26:33 | 0:26:34 | |
Oh, it's... | 0:26:34 | 0:26:35 | |
-..Monty Python. -Yeah, shall we go with that? | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
Try Monty Python. Eric Idle, you've got the dead parrot sketch. | 0:26:39 | 0:26:43 | |
And I'm not too sure about the foot. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:45 | |
We'll go with Monty Python. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:46 | |
Daniel and Dan, if you make this link, | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
you'll be through to the next round with Julie and Alan. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
Is the link Monty Python? | 0:26:53 | 0:26:55 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
The remaining clue was... | 0:27:02 | 0:27:03 | |
Terry Gilliam's opening titles featured the stomping foot from | 0:27:05 | 0:27:09 | |
Bronzino's painting, the dead parrot sketch, | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
Eric Idle and Michael Palin. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
Yeah, Monty Python. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:15 | |
-OK, let's cut your two links. -Please, yeah. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
You now have | 0:27:23 | 0:27:24 | |
£1,750 in your bank, | 0:27:24 | 0:27:27 | |
which means you will be going through to the next round | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
with Julie and Alan, who have £2,800. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:34 | |
Rachel and Rita, with £125, | 0:27:35 | 0:27:38 | |
will be going home. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:40 | |
-Thank you. -Thank you. | 0:27:40 | 0:27:41 | |
You played really well. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
-Did you enjoy yourselves? -Yes, thank you, we have very much. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
Good, excellent. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
-Rachel and Rita, thank you very much for playing The Link. -Thank you. | 0:27:48 | 0:27:51 | |
-Goodbye. -And good luck to you. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:53 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:27:53 | 0:27:54 | |
Julie and Alan, Daniel and Dan, you're still in the game. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |
Julie and Alan, you've banked £2,800, | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
Daniel and Dan, you banked 1,750. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:05 | |
That money is now in these two cash pods... | 0:28:05 | 0:28:08 | |
..each held by seven links. | 0:28:09 | 0:28:10 | |
The first team to cut all the links and release their cash pod | 0:28:10 | 0:28:13 | |
takes their money through to the final round. | 0:28:13 | 0:28:16 | |
The other team will be out. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:18 | |
Now, you can be as brave or as cautious as you like, | 0:28:18 | 0:28:21 | |
because you decide how many links you want to cut. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
I'm going to ask you to identify a person, | 0:28:24 | 0:28:27 | |
place or thing from a series of clues and you tell me | 0:28:27 | 0:28:31 | |
whether you want to play for one, two, three, or four links. | 0:28:31 | 0:28:35 | |
But the more links you play for, the fewer clues you'll receive. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:38 | |
We'll start with the team who has brought the most money | 0:28:38 | 0:28:41 | |
through to this round, and that is Julie and Alan. | 0:28:41 | 0:28:44 | |
Stand by. Round Two. | 0:28:47 | 0:28:49 | |
The first question is asking... | 0:28:49 | 0:28:51 | |
Julie and Alan, how many links? | 0:28:53 | 0:28:55 | |
-You think... -Well, I think two, you think three. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
I think we should be brave first of all. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:02 | |
-Yeah? -Three. Three. -OK. | 0:29:02 | 0:29:07 | |
For three links, who am I? Here are your clues. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:09 | |
-Was Slumdog Millionaire 2009? -It might be. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:25 | |
-He's British, so it's possible... -It could be, yeah. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:28 | |
Definitely. Going to go for that, I would go for that. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:31 | |
Or was that earlier? | 0:29:31 | 0:29:32 | |
-No, I think that was earlier. -Do you think? -No. I think... | 0:29:32 | 0:29:36 | |
Who am I? | 0:29:36 | 0:29:38 | |
-Go for it. -We're going to try Danny Boyle. But it isn't. | 0:29:41 | 0:29:45 | |
Am I Danny Boyle? | 0:29:47 | 0:29:48 | |
-Oh, well done! -Oh! -Well done. | 0:29:50 | 0:29:53 | |
-I thought you said it isn't. -No, I... Well... -Good. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:57 | |
Of course it is. | 0:29:57 | 0:29:59 | |
The other clues would have been... | 0:29:59 | 0:30:00 | |
Danny Boyle, correct. | 0:30:09 | 0:30:11 | |
-Let's cut your three links. -Ooh! | 0:30:11 | 0:30:13 | |
-Good team work there. -Well done. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:18 | |
Right, Daniel and Dan, your turn. | 0:30:18 | 0:30:20 | |
Your question will be asking... | 0:30:20 | 0:30:22 | |
Who am I? How many links? | 0:30:23 | 0:30:26 | |
-Think two links? -Yeah, we think we're still going to go | 0:30:26 | 0:30:28 | |
-for two at the moment. -Right. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
For two links, who am I? | 0:30:30 | 0:30:32 | |
Here are your clues. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:34 | |
Well, that's our worst possible subject. | 0:30:55 | 0:30:57 | |
Yeah, I think that, well, 1919... | 0:30:57 | 0:31:01 | |
Oh, who's the fella who used to play in Vegas? | 0:31:03 | 0:31:06 | |
-Oh, you know, very flamboyant... -Who am I? | 0:31:06 | 0:31:10 | |
-What, Sinatra? -No, he was a piano... | 0:31:10 | 0:31:12 | |
It's on the tip of my tongue, I can't remember for the life of me. | 0:31:12 | 0:31:15 | |
He's really flamboyant. He played... | 0:31:15 | 0:31:18 | |
Answer, please. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:20 | |
I know it, it's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't... | 0:31:21 | 0:31:24 | |
You're out of time. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:26 | |
Julie and Alan, you now have a chance to nick a link. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:30 | |
You will see the remaining clue for a chance to cut a single link | 0:31:30 | 0:31:33 | |
from your cash pod. And it is... | 0:31:33 | 0:31:36 | |
-We think it's Liberace. -Am I Liberace? | 0:31:43 | 0:31:46 | |
Yes. | 0:31:47 | 0:31:49 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:31:49 | 0:31:51 | |
Julie and Alan, you have nicked a link. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:54 | |
That's means we cut one link from your cash pod. | 0:31:54 | 0:31:57 | |
And it's now your turn. | 0:31:57 | 0:31:59 | |
Your question will be asking... | 0:31:59 | 0:32:01 | |
What am I? How many links? | 0:32:03 | 0:32:05 | |
-We're going to try two links. -OK. | 0:32:05 | 0:32:09 | |
For two links, what am I? | 0:32:09 | 0:32:11 | |
Here are your clues. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:13 | |
We should have gone. | 0:32:20 | 0:32:21 | |
-A ukulele. -Am I a ukulele? | 0:32:29 | 0:32:33 | |
Yep. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:36 | |
Final clue was... | 0:32:36 | 0:32:37 | |
Let's cut those two links. | 0:32:44 | 0:32:46 | |
You knew it on three? | 0:32:50 | 0:32:51 | |
-Knew it on four. -On the first clue. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:53 | |
-You could have cut four links? -Yeah. -OK, you didn't. | 0:32:53 | 0:32:56 | |
You've got one link remaining. | 0:32:56 | 0:32:59 | |
Daniel and Dan's go. Are you ready? | 0:32:59 | 0:33:01 | |
How many links? | 0:33:04 | 0:33:06 | |
We've got to be brave and go for three. | 0:33:06 | 0:33:08 | |
-I don't think four would be... -No. Got to go with three. | 0:33:08 | 0:33:12 | |
OK, for three links, what am I? Here are your clues. | 0:33:12 | 0:33:17 | |
I think we've got to go Coliseum or the pyramids. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:31 | |
-It's the Great Pyramids. -It is pyramids, yeah. | 0:33:31 | 0:33:34 | |
-It's the Great Pyramids. -OK. | 0:33:34 | 0:33:35 | |
It's the Great Pyramid. | 0:33:35 | 0:33:37 | |
Am I the Great Pyramid? | 0:33:38 | 0:33:41 | |
-No. -Oh! | 0:33:42 | 0:33:44 | |
Julie and Alan, you now have a chance to nick a link. | 0:33:44 | 0:33:46 | |
Here are the remaining clues. | 0:33:46 | 0:33:48 | |
Stonehenge. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:02 | |
Am I Stonehenge? | 0:34:02 | 0:34:04 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:34:07 | 0:34:09 | |
Yes, that's right. You've nicked a link. | 0:34:10 | 0:34:14 | |
That means we're going to cut the last link from your cash pod. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:17 | |
Well done, Julie and Alan. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:22 | |
You're through to the final round and that cash goes with you. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:26 | |
Daniel and Dan, it was close. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:29 | |
Not really. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:31 | |
-Did you not feel that? -Two music questions, that was harsh. | 0:34:31 | 0:34:35 | |
-Not good for you? -Not good for us. | 0:34:35 | 0:34:36 | |
Liberace was on the tip of my tongue, as well. I knew it. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:39 | |
And Julie was strong in music. She got ukulele... | 0:34:39 | 0:34:42 | |
HE GASPS | 0:34:42 | 0:34:43 | |
Daniel and Dan, thank you very much for playing The Link, goodbye. | 0:34:43 | 0:34:48 | |
Cheers. | 0:34:48 | 0:34:50 | |
Julie and Alan, you are today's finalists. | 0:34:53 | 0:34:56 | |

-Well, it would be travel of some sort. -OK. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:20 | |
If Alan has his way, it will probably be a cruise, yeah? | 0:35:20 | 0:35:23 | |
Yes, it would definitely be. | 0:35:23 | 0:35:25 | |
-Be a cruise? -Yes. -What sort of thing? | 0:35:25 | 0:35:28 | |

-Thank you. -Thank you. | 0:35:35 | 0:35:37 | |
To take that money home, | 0:35:37 | 0:35:38 | |
you have just 60 seconds to find six super-links. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:42 | |
At each level, you will need to identify | 0:35:42 | 0:35:45 | |
the link between ten one word clues. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:47 | |
As soon as you think you know the answer, buzz in, | 0:35:47 | 0:35:50 | |

OK, who's going to play first? | 0:36:09 | 0:36:11 | |
-I am. -OK, Alan. Did you decide that? | 0:36:11 | 0:36:14 | |
-Err... -Yes, OK. | 0:36:14 | 0:36:15 | |
-He was told. -I was told. -He was told. | 0:36:15 | 0:36:18 | |

-Alan. -Females of species? | 0:36:34 | 0:36:38 | |
Is the link the female of the species? | 0:36:38 | 0:36:42 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:36:46 | 0:36:48 | |
Good shot, Alan. | 0:36:49 | 0:36:51 | |
The remaining clues would have been | 0:36:51 | 0:36:53 | |
ewe, mare, vixen, tigress, lioness. | 0:36:53 | 0:36:56 | |

-BOTH: Play on. -Play on, please. | 0:38:51 | 0:38:53 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:38:53 | 0:38:55 | |
Julie, your turn. | 0:38:55 | 0:38:57 | |
You're on your own, the clock will restart | 0:38:57 | 0:38:59 | |
when the first clue appears. | 0:38:59 | 0:39:01 | |
Downton Abbey. | 0:39:11 | 0:39:12 | |
Is the link Downton Abbey? | 0:39:13 | 0:39:15 | |
Well done. | 0:39:18 | 0:39:20 | |
Very good. The remaining clues were... | 0:39:21 | 0:39:23 | |
That puts you on... | 0:39:28 | 0:39:30 | |
..£750. With 27 seconds remaining on the clock, | 0:39:31 | 0:39:35 | |
you now have a choice. | 0:39:35 | 0:39:37 | |
You can take that money and go, or you can play on. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:41 | |
-Play on. -Play on, please. | 0:39:41 | 0:39:43 | |
Play on. And Alan, it's your turn now. | 0:39:43 | 0:39:46 | |
You're on your own, the clock will restart when the first clue appears. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:50 | |
Stars. | 0:40:04 | 0:40:06 | |
Is the link stars? | 0:40:06 | 0:40:08 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:40:11 | 0:40:15 | |
Couldn't be more clearer or more accurate. And the final clue... | 0:40:15 | 0:40:20 | |
Polaris. The North Star. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:23 | |
Julie and Alan, that now puts you on... | 0:40:23 | 0:40:25 | |
..£1,000. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:29 | |
With 15 seconds remaining, | 0:40:29 | 0:40:32 | |
to make the last super-link to take home £4,800, | 0:40:32 | 0:40:37 | |
you now have a choice. | 0:40:37 | 0:40:39 | |
You can take that £1,000 and go, | 0:40:39 | 0:40:43 | |
or you can play on. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:45 | |
That was really hard till the end. Shall we just risk it? | 0:40:45 | 0:40:47 | |
-Yeah, we'll risk it. -£1,000 would be very nice. | 0:40:47 | 0:40:50 | |
But we don't often get a chance to go for £4,800. | 0:40:50 | 0:40:54 | |
We're going to give it a go, please, Mark. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:57 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:40:57 | 0:40:59 | |
OK. Julie, your turn. | 0:41:00 | 0:41:03 | |
You're on your own. | 0:41:03 | 0:41:05 | |
The clock will restart when the first clue appears. | 0:41:05 | 0:41:09 | |
Julie. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:25 | |
Forests. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:27 | |
You're saying, with four seconds remaining, is the link forests? | 0:41:27 | 0:41:33 | |
If you get this wrong, you have to take another super-link on your own. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:38 | |
If you get it right, | 0:41:38 | 0:41:40 | |
you're going to take home £4,800. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:43 | |
Is the link forests? | 0:41:45 | 0:41:47 | |
Whoa! | 0:41:52 | 0:41:53 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:41:53 | 0:41:56 | |
OK, the remaining clues were... | 0:41:56 | 0:41:59 | |
Oh, wow. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:04 | |
Congratulations, you found all the super-links, which means you are | 0:42:04 | 0:42:07 | |
taking home today's top prize of £4,800, | 0:42:07 | 0:42:12 | |
with four seconds remaining! | 0:42:12 | 0:42:14 | |
Well, that was spectacular, I have to say. | 0:42:17 | 0:42:20 | |
You didn't put a foot wrong. | 0:42:20 | 0:42:21 | |
-Although you didn't feel that confident. -No, no. | 0:42:21 | 0:42:24 | |
I was going to say castles, when I pressed the button. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:28 | |
And something else came out of my mouth. | 0:42:28 | 0:42:31 | |
It was a desperate guess. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:32 | |
Well, it paid off. | 0:42:32 | 0:42:34 | |
What are you going to do with the £4,800, now you've got it? | 0:42:34 | 0:42:37 | |
No, we're going to have a big argument about | 0:42:37 | 0:42:39 | |
whether to go on a cruise or some sort of wildlife safari type thing. | 0:42:39 | 0:42:43 | |
I see. Can't you combine the two? No, probably not. | 0:42:43 | 0:42:46 | |
Don't get a lot of animals on the sea. | 0:42:46 | 0:42:49 | |
OK. Well, good luck, Alan. | 0:42:49 | 0:42:51 | |
Thank you. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:52 | |
-Julie and Alan, thank you for playing. And goodbye. -Thank you. | 0:42:52 | 0:42:55 | |
-Thanks. -Thank you. | 0:42:55 | 0:42:56 | |
Join us next time when three more pairs will be trying to make | 0:42:56 | 0:42:59 | |
all the right connections on The Link. | 0:42:59 | 0:43:01 | |
See you then, goodbye. | 0:43:01 | 0:43:04 |
