Hello.

0:00:180:00:19

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

0:00:190:00:21

where knowing the answers is only half the battle.

0:00:210:00:24

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

0:00:240:00:28

Three teams hoping to make the right connections,

0:00:280:00:30

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

0:00:300:00:33

Let's see who is prepared, primed, and proficient.

0:00:330:00:37

I'm Julie, a former banker from Kent,

0:00:410:00:43

and this is my husband.

0:00:430:00:44

I'm Alan, a plumber from Kent.

0:00:440:00:47

APPLAUSE

0:00:470:00:48

-And as Julie pointed out, the link is you're married.

-That's correct.

0:00:480:00:52

Alan, is this true

0:00:520:00:53

that you and your long-term squash partner

0:00:530:00:56

decide who's going to win?

0:00:560:00:58

Well, it's the medication, usually. Whose medication kicks in first.

0:00:580:01:01

-LAUGHTER

-OK. Good.

0:01:010:01:03

Because I've got a thing about golf.

0:01:030:01:05

I'm terrible, and I haven't played for years.

0:01:050:01:08

-I think it's better when you don't score.

-Oh, we don't score.

0:01:080:01:11

-You don't score? You just...

-We just hit the ball.

0:01:110:01:14

Good. I'm with you. Julie and Alan, welcome.

0:01:140:01:17

Daniel and Dan, tell us about yourselves.

0:01:170:01:19

I'm Daniel. Financial planner from Gwent, and this is my friend.

0:01:190:01:23

I'm Dan. I'm a police officer. I'm also from Gwent.

0:01:230:01:25

APPLAUSE

0:01:250:01:26

Link, of course, is that you're friends.

0:01:290:01:31

Just Gwent, or anywhere specific?

0:01:310:01:35

A small little place called Blackwood.

0:01:350:01:37

-Oh, good.

-It's only little.

-That's fine.

0:01:370:01:40

We all come from little places.

0:01:400:01:42

-Dan, you have a unique double.

-Yeah.

0:01:420:01:45

I managed to get my arm stuck in a postbox once.

0:01:450:01:48

-You got your arm stuck in a postbox.

-Yeah, not my finest hour.

-No?

0:01:480:01:51

And the other one was...?

0:01:510:01:53

-I got stuck in a phone box.

-You got locked in a phone box.

0:01:530:01:55

Now, that to me, is a unique double.

0:01:550:01:57

Hand in letter box, and locked in a phone box.

0:01:570:02:00

Dan, I congratulate you.

0:02:000:02:02

-Thank you.

-Daniel and Dan, welcome.

0:02:020:02:05

Rachel and Rita, tell us about yourselves.

0:02:050:02:08

I'm Rachel. I'm a nurse from Tyne and Wear, and this is my mum.

0:02:080:02:11

I'm Rita. I'm a retired tearoom owner from Northumberland.

0:02:110:02:14

APPLAUSE

0:02:140:02:16

And the link is you're mother and daughter.

0:02:160:02:19

Rita, can I ask you about cupcakes?

0:02:190:02:21

Cos recently, there's been a cupcake explosion, hasn't there?

0:02:210:02:24

There has. Where I come from, we prefer to call them "fairy cakes".

0:02:240:02:28

-OK.

-Because cupcakes is a bit American.

0:02:280:02:30

-Is it? Is it really?

-Yes.

-OK.

0:02:300:02:32

Do you think the cupcake/fairy cake bubble might be about to burst?

0:02:320:02:36

-Do you think we've...?

-It's had a few challengers.

0:02:360:02:39

-We've had the whoopie cakes.

-We have had the whoopie.

0:02:390:02:41

-And the macaroon, of course.

-And the macaroon.

0:02:410:02:44

But the fairy cupcakes...

0:02:440:02:45

The fairy/cupcakes have held their own.

0:02:450:02:47

Has fought them off!

0:02:470:02:49

OK. Excellent. Rita and Rachel, welcome.

0:02:490:02:53

Welcome all.

0:02:530:02:54

Now, pay attention.

0:02:540:02:56

Here are six cash pods,

0:02:560:02:58

containing amounts ranging from £125-£2,000.

0:02:580:03:03

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

0:03:030:03:05

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

0:03:050:03:08

until they drop down into your bank.

0:03:080:03:11

And here's how you cut the links.

0:03:110:03:13

I'm going to ask you four questions.

0:03:130:03:16

You have to work out what links the answers.

0:03:160:03:18

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

0:03:180:03:21

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

0:03:210:03:24

If you spot it after the second answer,

0:03:240:03:26

you can cut three links.

0:03:260:03:28

Then two.

0:03:280:03:30

Then one.

0:03:300:03:32

Salt, pepper, vinegar, mustard, and of course the link here is...

0:03:320:03:35

ALL: Condiments.

0:03:350:03:37

Condiments.

0:03:370:03:39

Very good.

0:03:390:03:41

You need to bank as much as you can,

0:03:410:03:43

because the team with the least amount of money

0:03:430:03:45

at the end of this round will be going home.

0:03:450:03:48

-Oh, very good. Yeah, OK.

0:13:240:13:28

The highest mountain in Japan is Mount Fuji.

0:13:280:13:32

-Probably.

0:13:340:13:36

-Probably.

-My Japanese is rusty.

0:13:360:13:39

Right, you've got three links.

0:16:210:16:23

How are you going to use them?

0:16:230:16:25

I suppose we can go for either, really, can't we?

0:16:250:16:27

-There's both five on them.

-Yes.

0:16:270:16:29

Shall we go for the 2,000?

0:16:290:16:30

Unless we go two on one and one on the other?

0:16:300:16:32

Indeed. We'll do that.

0:16:320:16:34

-We'll use tactics.

-Strategy.

0:16:340:16:36

Good, we like tactics and we like strategy.

Trying to think face - clown face, cat face.

0:18:030:18:06

What's the link?

0:18:060:18:07

-Rita?

-Sword.

0:18:280:18:29

..types of which weapon - sword.

Sword, you're right. Rachel and Rita, what's the link?

0:18:340:18:38

Is it a nursery rhyme of some sort?

0:18:380:18:40

I can't see a nursery rhyme...

APPLAUSE

0:19:280:19:30

Yeah, catfish, clownfish - Nemo, swordfish, goldfish.

0:19:310:19:36

How do you want to use your link?

0:19:360:19:38

If we take one off, that'll leave them the 1,000.

0:19:380:19:40

That takes two links and they're in.

0:19:400:19:42

I say take it off the 2,000, make it a bit harder.

0:19:420:19:44

OK, we'll do that.

0:19:440:19:46

We'll take that one link from the 2,000.

0:19:460:19:49

I've got your tactics there.

0:19:490:19:50

Basically means you're both feeling very positive, doesn't it?

0:19:500:19:53

-Yeah.

-Good.

0:19:530:19:55

Three links remain on the 1,000 and the 2,000.

-Costello?

0:21:290:21:30

-Right, how do you want to use your three links?

-You know what?

0:21:300:21:34

I think we might take those three off the 2,000, please.

0:21:340:21:38

I think you might. Let's cut those links.

0:21:380:21:40

Which means,

with £2,800,

0:21:470:21:51

Julie and Alan are through to the next round,

0:21:510:21:53

which is by no means certain

0:21:530:21:55

for either Daniel and Dan

0:21:550:21:57

or Rachel and Rita,

0:21:570:21:58

because there is £1,000 with only three links

0:21:580:22:01

0:26:390:26:43

And I'm not too sure about the foot.

0:26:430:26:45

We'll go with Monty Python.

0:26:450:26:46

Daniel and Dan, if you make this link,

0:26:460:26:49

you'll be through to the next round with Julie and Alan.

0:26:490:26:52

Is the link Monty Python?

0:26:530:26:55

APPLAUSE

0:26:580:27:00

The remaining clue was...

0:27:020:27:03

Terry Gilliam's opening titles featured the stomping foot from

0:27:050:27:09

Bronzino's painting, the dead parrot sketch,

0:27:090:27:12

Eric Idle and Michael Palin.

0:27:120:27:14

Yeah, Monty Python.

0:27:140:27:15

-OK, let's cut your two links.

-Please, yeah.

0:27:150:27:18

You now have

0:27:230:27:24

£1,750 in your bank,

0:27:240:27:27

which means you will be going through to the next round

0:27:270:27:30

with Julie and Alan, who have £2,800.

0:27:300:27:34

Rachel and Rita, with £125,

0:27:350:27:38

will be going home.

0:27:380:27:40

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:27:400:27:41

You played really well.

0:27:410:27:43

-Did you enjoy yourselves?

-Yes, thank you, we have very much.

0:27:430:27:46

Good, excellent.

0:27:460:27:48

-Rachel and Rita, thank you very much for playing The Link.

-Thank you.

0:27:480:27:51

-Goodbye.

-And good luck to you.

0:27:510:27:53

APPLAUSE

0:27:530:27:54

Julie and Alan, Daniel and Dan, you're still in the game.

0:27:550:27:58

Julie and Alan, you've banked £2,800,

0:27:580:28:01

Daniel and Dan, you banked 1,750.

0:28:010:28:05

That money is now in these two cash pods...

0:28:050:28:08

..each held by seven links.

0:28:090:28:10

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

0:28:100:28:13

takes their money through to the final round.

0:28:130:28:16

The other team will be out.

0:28:160:28:18

Now, you can be as brave or as cautious as you like,

0:28:180:28:21

because you decide how many links you want to cut.

0:28:210:28:24

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

0:28:240:28:27

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

0:28:270:28:31

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

0:28:310:28:35

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

0:28:350:28:38

We'll start with the team who has brought the most money

0:28:380:28:41

through to this round, and that is Julie and Alan.

0:28:410:28:44

Stand by. Round Two.

0:28:470:28:49

The first question is asking...

0:28:490:28:51

Julie and Alan, how many links?

0:28:530:28:55

-You think...

-Well, I think two, you think three.

0:28:550:28:58

I think we should be brave first of all.

0:28:580:29:02

-Yeah?

-Three. Three.

-OK.

0:29:020:29:07

For three links, who am I? Here are your clues.

0:29:070:29:09

-Was Slumdog Millionaire 2009?

-It might be.

0:29:220:29:25

-He's British, so it's possible...

-It could be, yeah.

0:29:250:29:28

Definitely. Going to go for that, I would go for that.

0:29:280:29:31

Or was that earlier?

0:29:310:29:32

-No, I think that was earlier.

-Do you think?

-No. I think...

0:29:320:29:36

Who am I?

0:29:360:29:38

-Go for it.

-We're going to try Danny Boyle. But it isn't.

0:29:410:29:45

Am I Danny Boyle?

0:29:470:29:48

-Oh, well done!

-Oh!

-Well done.

0:29:500:29:53

-I thought you said it isn't.

-No, I... Well...

-Good.

0:29:530:29:57

Of course it is.

0:29:570:29:59

The other clues would have been...

0:29:590:30:00

Danny Boyle, correct.

0:30:090:30:11

-Let's cut your three links.

-Ooh!

0:30:110:30:13

-Good team work there.

-Well done.

0:30:150:30:18

Right, Daniel and Dan, your turn.

0:30:180:30:20

Your question will be asking...

0:30:200:30:22

Who am I? How many links?

0:30:230:30:26

-Think two links?

-Yeah, we think we're still going to go

0:30:260:30:28

-for two at the moment.

-Right.

0:30:280:30:30

For two links, who am I?

0:30:300:30:32

Here are your clues.

0:30:320:30:34

Well, that's our worst possible subject.

0:30:550:30:57

Yeah, I think that, well, 1919...

0:30:570:31:01

Oh, who's the fella who used to play in Vegas?

0:31:030:31:06

-Oh, you know, very flamboyant...

-Who am I?

0:31:060:31:10

-What, Sinatra?

-No, he was a piano...

0:31:100:31:12

It's on the tip of my tongue, I can't remember for the life of me.

0:31:120:31:15

He's really flamboyant. He played...

0:31:150:31:18

Answer, please.

0:31:180:31:20

I know it, it's on the tip of my tongue, but I can't...

0:31:210:31:24

You're out of time.

0:31:240:31:26

Julie and Alan, you now have a chance to nick a link.

0:31:260:31:30

You will see the remaining clue for a chance to cut a single link

0:31:300:31:33

from your cash pod. And it is...

0:31:330:31:36

-We think it's Liberace.

-Am I Liberace?

0:31:430:31:46

Yes.

0:31:470:31:49

APPLAUSE

0:31:490:31:51

Julie and Alan, you have nicked a link.

0:31:520:31:54

That's means we cut one link from your cash pod.

0:31:540:31:57

And it's now your turn.

0:31:570:31:59

Your question will be asking...

0:31:590:32:01

What am I? How many links?

0:32:030:32:05

-We're going to try two links.

-OK.

0:32:050:32:09

For two links, what am I?

0:32:090:32:11

Here are your clues.

0:32:110:32:13

We should have gone.

0:32:200:32:21

-A ukulele.

-Am I a ukulele?

0:32:290:32:33

Yep.

0:32:350:32:36

Final clue was...

0:32:360:32:37

Let's cut those two links.

0:32:440:32:46

You knew it on three?

0:32:500:32:51

-Knew it on four.

-On the first clue.

0:32:510:32:53

-You could have cut four links?

-Yeah.

-OK, you didn't.

0:32:530:32:56

You've got one link remaining.

0:32:560:32:59

Daniel and Dan's go. Are you ready?

0:32:590:33:01

How many links?

0:33:040:33:06

We've got to be brave and go for three.

0:33:060:33:08

-I don't think four would be...

-No. Got to go with three.

0:33:080:33:12

OK, for three links, what am I? Here are your clues.

0:33:120:33:17

I think we've got to go Coliseum or the pyramids.

0:33:290:33:31

-It's the Great Pyramids.

-It is pyramids, yeah.

0:33:310:33:34

-It's the Great Pyramids.

-OK.

0:33:340:33:35

It's the Great Pyramid.

0:33:350:33:37

Am I the Great Pyramid?

0:33:380:33:41

-No.

-Oh!

0:33:420:33:44

Julie and Alan, you now have a chance to nick a link.

0:33:440:33:46

Here are the remaining clues.

0:33:460:33:48

Stonehenge.

0:34:010:34:02

Am I Stonehenge?

0:34:020:34:04

APPLAUSE

0:34:070:34:09

Yes, that's right. You've nicked a link.

0:34:100:34:14

That means we're going to cut the last link from your cash pod.

0:34:140:34:17

Well done, Julie and Alan.

0:34:200:34:22

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

0:34:220:34:26

Daniel and Dan, it was close.

0:34:260:34:29

Not really.

0:34:290:34:31

-Did you not feel that?

-Two music questions, that was harsh.

0:34:310:34:35

-Not good for you?

-Not good for us.

0:34:350:34:36

Liberace was on the tip of my tongue, as well. I knew it.

0:34:360:34:39

And Julie was strong in music. She got ukulele...

0:34:390:34:42

HE GASPS

0:34:420:34:43

Daniel and Dan, thank you very much for playing The Link, goodbye.

0:34:430:34:48

Cheers.

0:34:480:34:50

Julie and Alan, you are today's finalists.

0:34:530:34:56

You brought through £2,800

0:34:560:35:00

and we're adding £2,000 to that.

0:35:000:35:03

So, your maximum win today

0:35:040:35:06

would be £4,800.

0:35:060:35:09

APPLAUSE

0:35:090:35:11

So, Julie and Alan, what are you planning to do

0:35:110:35:14

with £4,800 if you win?

0:35:140:35:17

-Well, it would be travel of some sort.

-OK.

0:35:170:35:20

If Alan has his way, it will probably be a cruise, yeah?

0:35:200:35:23

Yes, it would definitely be.

0:35:230:35:25

-Be a cruise?

-Yes.

-What sort of thing?

0:35:250:35:28

-Food.

-Anywhere, really.

-A food cruise?

-Yeah.

0:35:280:35:32

I'm with you on that, Alan! OK. Good luck.

0:35:320:35:35

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:35:350:35:37

To take that money home,

0:35:370:35:38

you have just 60 seconds to find six super-links.

0:35:380:35:42

At each level, you will need to identify

0:35:420:35:45

the link between ten one word clues.

0:35:450:35:47

As soon as you think you know the answer, buzz in,

0:35:470:35:50

and we'll stop the clock.

0:35:500:35:51

If you're right, you can take that money home.

0:35:510:35:53

Choose to play on, and your team-mate

0:35:530:35:55

will tackle the next super-link.

0:35:550:35:57

If you're wrong, play stays with you,

0:35:570:35:59

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

0:35:590:36:03

Run out of time,

0:36:030:36:04

and you leave with nothing more than the joy of a race well ran.

0:36:040:36:09

OK, who's going to play first?

0:36:090:36:11

-I am.

-OK, Alan. Did you decide that?

0:36:110:36:14

-Err...

-Yes, OK.

0:36:140:36:15

-He was told.

-I was told.

-He was told.

0:36:150:36:18

Alan, you're on your own.

0:36:180:36:20

The clock will start when you see the first clue.

0:36:200:36:22

-Alan.

-Females of species?

0:36:340:36:38

Is the link the female of the species?

0:36:380:36:42

APPLAUSE

0:36:460:36:48

Good shot, Alan.

0:36:490:36:51

The remaining clues would have been

0:36:510:36:53

ewe, mare, vixen, tigress, lioness.

0:36:530:36:56

All female animals. So, that puts you on...

0:36:560:36:58

£125. Julie and Alan, with 52 seconds remaining on the clock,

0:37:000:37:05

you now have a choice.

0:37:050:37:06

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

0:37:060:37:08

-I think we'll play on.

-Think we'll play on.

0:37:080:37:10

-We'll play on, please.

-Good.

0:37:100:37:12

Julie, your turn now.

0:37:120:37:15

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

0:37:150:37:19

-Are you ready?

-Yep.

0:37:190:37:20

Julie.

0:37:320:37:33

Winners of the Eurovision Song Contest.

0:37:330:37:36

Is the link winners of the Eurovision Song Contest?

0:37:360:37:39

-Well done.

-Yeah, well done indeed.

0:37:410:37:44

The remaining clues were...

0:37:440:37:46

Right, that puts you on...

0:37:500:37:54

£300.

0:37:540:37:55

With 42 seconds remaining on the clock, you now have a choice.

0:37:550:37:59

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

0:37:590:38:02

-Play on.

-Play on.

0:38:020:38:03

Alan, your turn now.

0:38:030:38:05

You're on your own, the clock will restart

0:38:050:38:07

when the first clue appears.

0:38:070:38:09

Alan.

0:38:190:38:20

Types of fabric?

0:38:200:38:23

Is the link types of fabric?

0:38:230:38:25

Good.

0:38:270:38:28

APPLAUSE

0:38:280:38:30

The remaining clues were...

0:38:300:38:32

Types of fabric.

0:38:370:38:38

Julie and Alan, that puts you on...

0:38:380:38:41

..£500.

0:38:420:38:43

With 33 seconds remaining on the clock, you now have a choice.

0:38:430:38:48

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

0:38:480:38:51

-BOTH: Play on.

-Play on, please.

0:38:510:38:53

APPLAUSE

0:38:530:38:55

Julie, your turn.

0:38:550:38:57

You're on your own, the clock will restart

0:38:570:38:59

when the first clue appears.

0:38:590:39:01

Downton Abbey.

0:39:110:39:12

Is the link Downton Abbey?

0:39:130:39:15

Well done.

0:39:180:39:20

Very good. The remaining clues were...

0:39:210:39:23

That puts you on...

0:39:280:39:30

..£750. With 27 seconds remaining on the clock,

0:39:310:39:35

you now have a choice.

0:39:350:39:37

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

0:39:370:39:41

-Play on.

-Play on, please.

0:39:410:39:43

Play on. And Alan, it's your turn now.

0:39:430:39:46

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

0:39:460:39:50

Stars.

0:40:040:40:06

Is the link stars?

0:40:060:40:08

APPLAUSE

0:40:110:40:15

Couldn't be more clearer or more accurate. And the final clue...

0:40:150:40:20

Polaris. The North Star.

0:40:200:40:23

Julie and Alan, that now puts you on...

0:40:230:40:25

..£1,000.

0:40:270:40:29

With 15 seconds remaining,

0:40:290:40:32

to make the last super-link to take home £4,800,

0:40:320:40:37

you now have a choice.

0:40:370:40:39

You can take that £1,000 and go,

0:40:390:40:43

or you can play on.

0:40:430:40:45

That was really hard till the end. Shall we just risk it?

0:40:450:40:47

-Yeah, we'll risk it.

-£1,000 would be very nice.

0:40:470:40:50

But we don't often get a chance to go for £4,800.

0:40:500:40:54

We're going to give it a go, please, Mark.

0:40:540:40:57

APPLAUSE

0:40:570:40:59

OK. Julie, your turn.

0:41:000:41:03

You're on your own.

0:41:030:41:05

The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:41:050:41:09

Julie.

0:41:230:41:25

Forests.

0:41:250:41:27

You're saying, with four seconds remaining, is the link forests?

0:41:270:41:33

If you get this wrong, you have to take another super-link on your own.

0:41:330:41:38

If you get it right,

0:41:380:41:40

you're going to take home £4,800.

0:41:400:41:43

Is the link forests?

0:41:450:41:47

Whoa!

0:41:520:41:53

APPLAUSE

0:41:530:41:56

OK, the remaining clues were...

0:41:560:41:59

Oh, wow.

0:42:020:42:04

Congratulations, you found all the super-links, which means you are

0:42:040:42:07

taking home today's top prize of £4,800,

0:42:070:42:12

with four seconds remaining!

0:42:120:42:14

Well, that was spectacular, I have to say.

0:42:170:42:20

You didn't put a foot wrong.

0:42:200:42:21

-Although you didn't feel that confident.

-No, no.

0:42:210:42:24

I was going to say castles, when I pressed the button.

0:42:240:42:28

And something else came out of my mouth.

0:42:280:42:31

It was a desperate guess.

0:42:310:42:32

Well, it paid off.

0:42:320:42:34

What are you going to do with the £4,800, now you've got it?

0:42:340:42:37

No, we're going to have a big argument about

0:42:370:42:39

whether to go on a cruise or some sort of wildlife safari type thing.

0:42:390:42:43

I see. Can't you combine the two? No, probably not.

0:42:430:42:46

Don't get a lot of animals on the sea.

0:42:460:42:49

OK. Well, good luck, Alan.

0:42:490:42:51

Thank you.

0:42:510:42:52

-Julie and Alan, thank you for playing. And goodbye.

-Thank you.

0:42:520:42:55

-Thanks.

-Thank you.

0:42:550:42:56

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

0:42:560:42:59

all the right connections on The Link.

0:42:590:43:01

See you then, goodbye.
