Episode 2 The Link

APPLAUSE

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

where knowing the answers is only half the battle.

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

Three teams are hoping to make the right connections

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

Let's see who is feeling audaciously academically able.

I'm Faye, I work in marketing,

I live in London and this is my boyfriend.

Hi, I'm Jorge, I'm from Ipswich and I'm a student.

APPLAUSE

The link is you're partners. How long have you known each other?

-Um, about two years.

-Two years.

-Yeah, about two years.

About two years. A bit tentative there.

-He's not sure.

-Not sure, you see.

Not sure, OK. Which is why you asked Faye.

OK, Faye, Jorge, welcome.

Thank you.

Colin and Simon, introduce yourself, please.

I'm Colin, I'm a marketing communications consultant

and I'm from Norwich.

With me today is my good work friend.

Hi, I'm Simon, I'm also a marketing communications consultant,

and I'm also from Norwich.

APPLAUSE

The link is you're friends...

-Yes.

-Absolutely.

..and marketing consultants from Norwich.

-Yes.

-Good.

-Have you worked together long?

-About seven years, is it?

It feels like a lifetime sometimes. It's about six or seven years.

OK, six or seven years, all right. Colin, Simon, welcome.

BOTH: Thank you.

Hilary and Wiz, make yourself known, please.

I'm Hilary, I'm a retired bank official

and management consultant, and this is my husband.

Hi, I'm Wiz, I'm retired after 35 years in the Royal Navy,

living in North Wales.

APPLAUSE

-And the link is you're married.

-We are.

-Yes.

How long have you been married?

-35 years this year.

-Very good.

Wiz, you looked like you had to think about that for a moment!

Welcome, all.

Now, pay attention, here are six cash pods,

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

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

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

they drop into your bank.

And here is how you cut links.

I'm going to ask you four questions

and you have to work out what links the answers.

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

you will be able to cut four of those links.

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

then two, then one, and of course the link here is...

-Tintin.

-Tintin.

Yes, Tintin.

It is. Let's cut that link.

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

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

Let's play The Link.

Round one. Here's the first question.

For four links, Sea Biscuit, Shergar, and Black Bess...

-Colin?

-Horses.

..are all famous examples of which animal?

Horses is correct.

There's your first clue, what's the link?

-Could be types of songs, Wild Horses, for example.

-Yes.

-Crazy Horses.

-That's just two of the same thing, that's no good.

-Well, I reckon...

-Go for a guess.

-I reckon it's songs that have the word "wild" before it.

You two have worked together for seven years

and that's your joint decision.

-That is... Yes.

-It's a wild answer.

It's a wild answer. Is it "wild"?

No. It isn't.

And it was.

Right, everyone's back in play,

stand by, your next question for three links.

The TV drama set in Belfast

and starring Gillian Anderson as Detective Stella Gibson is...

Colin.

Is it The Fall?

The Fall is correct.

Horses, fall, what's the link?

Water. Could it be water or water horses?

I don't know if that's a word.

Sea... No, it can't be sea. You don't get sea fall, do you?

-I don't think so.

-Seahorses... You certainly get seahorses.

I can just see them in a meeting, can't you?

Let's go for it, let's go for the word water.

We'll go with the word water.

Good.

Is it water?

No. It's not.

Everyone's back in play, this is for two links.

Which street is home to the New York Stock Exchange?

Jorge?

Wall Street.

Wall Street is correct.

Horses, fall, wall, what's the link?

-Well, I have no idea.

-No, me neither, so what could you have?

Wonderwall, wonder horse, wonderful. No.

-OK.

-There's so much play on words but it does not quite work.

-Brick.

-Brick.

Brick horses? We were going to say water, weren't we?...

-Need an answer.

-Wonder.

-Wonder.

-Yes.

Is it wonder?

You're wrong.

Everyone's back in play, your next question for one link,

which food can be served hard-boiled...

Jorge?

-Egg.

-Egg is correct.

Horses, fall, wall, egg, what's the link?

Humpty Dumpty.

Is the link Humpty Dumpty?

APPLAUSE

He's an egg, he fell off a wall, and all the king's horses

and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty together again.

You got that on the fourth clue which means you can cut one link.

OK. I think... Do you think we should take the 125?

We'll cut the link on the 125 and bank that.

OK. Let's cut that link.

APPLAUSE

Right, stand by.

For four links, in maths,

what is the specific name for a plain figure

with three angles...

Wiz?

Equilateral triangle.

..and three sides.

Yes, a triangle.

-Equilateral meaning with three...

-Three equal sides.

-Marvellous.

Right, that's your first clue, what's the link?

The swan triangle is...

-Musical instruments.

-Percussion?

We'll go percussion section of an orchestra.

Is the link percussion section of an orchestra?

Very precise, very excellent, but wrong.

OK, for three links, stand by, your next question.

The Labour MP appointed Shadow Chancellor in 20...

Simon.

Ed Balls.

..in 2011, is Ed who?

Balls is correct.

Triangle, balls, what is the link, Colin and Simon?

Well...

The first word that crosses my mind is cheese but I'm not sure why.

-Cheese triangles.

-I like the idea of that.

It says triangle rather than triangles. Do you get cheese balls?

Yeah, crisps, aren't they? I like that, I think that's a great answer.

-Well, take the floor.

-OK, I think the link could be cheese.

Brilliant. You need your own show, you two.

We think that, too.

Calm down.

Is it cheese?

No, it's not.

You talked a good talk but you were wrong.

Right, everyone's back in play. Stand by for two links.

What is 21 multiplied by 7?

-Jorge?

-147.

It is 147.

Triangle, balls, 147, what is the link?

I was thinking snooker but does that have anything to do with 147?

Yes, no, that is why I guessed 147 because that's the maximum break.

-Is it?

-Yeah.

-Shall we go with snooker, then?

-Yes, snooker.

Is it snooker?

APPLAUSE

The last clue would have been

The Crucible.

Yes, snooker, it's played with balls,

they are set up using a triangle, the maximum break is 147,

and The Crucible is the venue for the World Championships

in Sheffield.

You have two links.

Shall we take the 300, is that the wise move to be not risky?

-Yes, let's get some more money in the bank.

-Can we take 300, please?

OK, let's cut those links.

And there it goes.

APPLAUSE

Stand by.

For four links, which pasta and cheese dish shares

part of its name with a term used for an 18th-century dandy?

-Wiz?

-Macaroni.

Macaroni is correct.

There's your first clue. What's the link?

I think it is something to do with...

-Penguins.

-Penguins?

-Penguins.

Penguins.

Is it penguins?

APPLAUSE

Why did you think penguins?

-The word macaroni just hit me as a penguin.

-It's a type of penguin.

It obviously wasn't pasta because that would be too easy,

so the next thing I thought of was penguins.

What were the other clues?

Galapagos, emperor and king. Fantastic.

You have four links.

-How are you going to use them?

-I think we'll have the 750, please.

Let's cut those four links.

APPLAUSE

And there she blows!

Stand by.

For four links, one of the main characters in the children's

programme In The Night Garden is Upsy...

-Simon?

-Daisy.

Daisy...

is correct.

Daisy is your first clue. What's your link?

It's going to be daisy... Types of chain.

Is it types of chain?

Wrong.

Everyone's back in play, stand by, your next question,

for three links, which director's films included Strictly Ballroom,

William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge?

-Jorge?

-Is it Baz Luhrmann?

Of course it's Baz Luhrmann.

Daisy, Baz Luhrmann.

-What's the link?

-I am really struggling.

Australia? Are Australia famous for their daisies?

-Australia.

-Australia.

Is the link Australia?

No. You're wrong. Everyone is back in play.

Stand by for two links.

Which bird whose name sounds...

-Hilary?

-Jay.

Jay is correct.

Which bird whose name sounds like a letter of the alphabet is

a member of the crow family?

-It is a Jay.

-So Daisy, Baz Luhrmann Jay, what is the link?

The Great Gatsby.

Is it the Great Gatsby?

-APPLAUSE

-Yes! Of course it is.

The remaining clue would have been F Scott Fitzgerald.

Jay and Daisy are the main characters,

Scott Fitzgerald wrote the book,

and Baz Luhrmann directed the recent film.

So you've got two links.

-We'll go for the thousand.

-Two off the thousand, please.

-Two off the thousand?

-Yes, please.

-Let's do that.

So, stand by for four links.

A person with a grievance is said to have a chip on their...

Wiz?

-Shoulder.

-Shoulder.

That's your first clue, what's the link?

-Cuts of meat?

-Cuts of meat.

Is it cuts of meat?

No. I'd have been with you on that.

But then...I like a cut of meat.

Right, stand by, for three links.

Found in the lower leg of humans,

the tibia is known by what alternative name?

-Colin?

-Is it shin?

Shin is correct.

Shoulder, shin, what is the link?

You get shin guards, shoulder guards.

-Protective areas?

-Yeah, that's a good answer.

-Well, I don't know.

-It's an answer.

We'll find out. Have you got anything else?

No, I am happy with that.

I think we are going to go with types of protective guard.

Is it types of guard?

No.

Stand by, everyone's back in play, for two links,

Matthew McConaughey plays Tripp in the 2006 film Failure To what?

Colin?

Failure To Launch.

Is correct.

Shoulder, shin, launch.

Where we were going before, we chose the wrong word, it's pad, isn't it?

-After you, go.

-Well, we now think it's pad.

Is it pad?

-Yes!

-APPLAUSE

The final clue would have been

bachelor...

..pad.

OK, so you've got two links, how do you want to use them?

We've got two, I say we take two off the 2,000.

I think if we take two off the 2,000 and we don't get the next one right,

and someone gets it on the first clue,

-someone can pretty much wipe us out of the game.

-Good point.

I would say take one from the 2,000, and then maybe one off the...

I would say one off the 500.

OK, I'm good with that, I'll go with your tactical nous on this one.

Let's cut those links.

So, stand by for four links.

According to the well-known carol,

how many days of Christmas are...

-Jorge?

-12.

12. Yes, obviously. 12.

That's your first clue, what's the link?

-It could be months, something to do with calendar.

-Yeah.

-Disciples.

-Did Jesus have 12 disciples?

-He did, yes.

-So, Jesus.

You could have monkeys?

12 Monkeys, a film, but it's more rogue, I guess.

-We're going to go with Jesus.

-You're going to go with Jesus!

Well, why not?! Many have.

Is the link Jesus?

-Oh!

-Oh.

No. It's not. Stand by.

Next question.

For three links, in rugby union,

how many players does each team start...

-Simon?

-15.

15. Correct.

12, 15, what's the link?

-Well...

-Again, it's not going to be multiplication

because that's just hideously obvious.

Are they prime numbers? No, they're not, are they?

You're the mathematician.

Yeah. I think they're all numbers.

LAUGHTER

Is that it?!

Is the link numbers?

Well, there's a surprise!

No, you're wrong.

Everyone back in play, stand by, for two links,

-I think we're going to go with film certificates.

-Film certificates.

-OK.

Is the link film certificates?

APPLAUSE

Classifications now, they are, of course.

The final clue would have been PG.

Right, two links, what are you going to do?

-I think maybe we'll be safe and take the 500.

-I think so, yes.

You're going to take two links off the 500, let's cut them.

APPLAUSE

Stand by for four links.

White is correct.

There's your first clue, what's the link?

Right, I'm thinking white and...

black. I'm thinking chess boards.

This is the only thing that came into my mind. Chess boards.

Chess, the game of chess.

Is the link chess?

Ah, that's a shame, because that was a good shout, I thought.

Everyone back in play, stand by, your next question for three links.

-Simon?

-First sight.

Love at first sight.

Correct.

White, sight, what is the link?

OK, we're in this place again where we are going to come up with

-something ridiculous.

-No, we're not going to do that this time.

OK, we are not going to do that.

Short of sight. Anything that comes to your head.

Types of flag.

Colin's body language is not good there.

That's not good, is it?!

OK, is the link types of flag?

No, it's not.

Everyone back in play, two links.

Which 2001 biographical film directed by Richard Eyre stars

Kate Winslet and Judi Dench portraying the same person?

Faye?

I was going to say Titanic

-but I realised Judi Dench wasn't the older woman in Titanic.

-No.

And that's not a biopic.

Titanic is not the right answer.

Is it Virginia?

No, it's not.

-Go on, then. Queen Elizabeth.

-Queen Elizabeth.

No.

The answer is Iris.

No-one gets the chance to guess that link.

We've only got one link to play for now.

APPLAUSE

-You can cut one link.

-1,000? Or one off the two?

I think we should take one off the 2,000.

We will take one off the 2,000, please.

OK, let's cut that link.

Very good. So, for four links, stand by.

On the electromagnetic spectrum,

which wave has the longest wavelength?

-Jorge?

-Radio waves.

Radio waves...

is correct.

That's your first clue. What is the link?

My initial thought was things that precede head, like Radiohead.

Um, or types of media, but that seems a bit easy, like radio or TV.

-Yes.

-Radio Times. Things that precede times.

Times or head, where do you want to go?

Things with head in them.

Is the link head?

No.

Everyone's back in play.

Your next question for three links.

In Cockney rhyming slang,

feet are known as pla... Hilary?

Is the link Queen?

No.

Everyone back in play. Stand by for two links.

The telephone. Alexander Graham Bell is best known for patenting

which invention in 1876?

The telephone. Correct.

The link?

I think it might be Lady Gaga because she wore a meat dress

and Radio Gaga

and she's got a song Telephone,

so Lady Gaga.

Is the link Lady Gaga?

APPLAUSE

The final answer would have been...

..paparazzi.

Her name was inspired by a Queen song, Radio Gaga,

she once wore a dress made of meat,

Telephone and Paparazzi are two of her songs.

Right, you've got £925.

You've got a chance to cut two links.

What are you going to do?

We could take one off each.

Yeah. That seems like the best...

-Yeah.

-One from each, please.

Let's do that.

Stand by for four links.

Do you want to talk about that or you know?

No, we'll have that.

OK. The naval command on my right

is asking to cut three links from 2,000(!)

Let it be done.

Right.

APPLAUSE

You two are now through, definitely, to the next round

with £2,750. OK.

Stand by for four links.

-No.

-Oh!

The liquid cosmetic typically applied with a thin brush

Cunard. Is the link Cunard?

-No.

I think the link is the Titanic.

It left from there, it was one of those, and it was crossing that.

-Yeah.

-That's the only thing I can think of.

-Well put.

Is the link Titanic?

APPLAUSE

Shake my hand, sir. Well done.

The last clue was iceberg.

Could have been lettuce.

Certainly could have been.

-What are you going to do with your links?

-We could discuss this...

-No!

-OK! Cut.

-Cut the links?

APPLAUSE

Right, Faye and Jorge have £925,

Colin and Simon £1,000,

Hilary and Wiz £2,750,

which means Faye and Jorge are going home.

-Thanks very much for playing The Link.

-Thank you.

-Goodbye.

APPLAUSE

Colin and Simon, Hilary and Wiz, you're still in the game.

Colin and Simon, you banked £1,000 at the last minute,

Hilary and Wiz, you carefully amassed £2,750.

Now, that money is now in these two cash pods,

each held by seven links.

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

takes their money through to the final round. The other team

will be out.

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

because you decide how many links you want to cut.

I'm going to ask you to identify a person, place or thing

from a series of clues, and you tell me

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

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

You'll take it in turns to play

and we'll start with the team who has brought the most money

to this round, and that is Hilary and Wiz.

Round two. The first question is asking...

Hilary and Wiz, how many links?

-Going to try for two?

-Two.

-We'll try for two, please.

For two links, here are your clues.

I think I know...

Yes. BOTH: Zara Phillips.

Tindall, as she is now.

Am I Zara Phillips?

APPLAUSE

Very good.

The final clue would have been...

Let's cut those links.

Play now passes to Colin and Simon.

Your question is asking...

How many links?

-Two links, I think, Colin?

-I think two links.

-Get on the board.

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

Quite a few people.

I first appeared in the 1940 film, A Wild Hare.

I think it's Bugs Bunny.

-You think it's Bugs Bunny?

-I think it's Bugs Bunny as well.

Am I Bugs Bunny?

APPLAUSE

The final clue would have been...

..Elmer Fudd.

OK, Bugs Bunny, which gives you two links to cut.

Let's cut them.

Neck and neck, with five links each,

but the advantage passes to Hilary and Wiz.

Your question is asking...

-How many links?

-Two or three? I'm not sure. What do you reckon?

Live dangerously. Go for three.

-So you're going to go for three links?

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

-Yeah, yeah!

For three links, here are your clues.

-It's either mini skirts or hot pants.

-Hot pants.

-Hot pants were definitely the '60s.

-They were,

-weren't they?

-Coco Chanel would have had short skirts.

Yes, she would have done. I think we'll go for hot pants.

Am I hot pants?

Hmm. Damn.

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

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

from your cash pod, and they are...

-I think we know.

-Yeah. I think one of my favourite inventions.

I think it's probably the mini skirt.

Am I the mini skirt?

Yeah.

APPLAUSE

So you've nicked a link from Hilary and Wiz. Let's cut that link.

So, Colin and Simon, after having nicked a link,

-it's now your go.

-Yes.

-Fantastic.

-Yes. Very useful.

-You've got four links left on your 1,000,

and your question is asking...

-How many links would you like to cut?

-Err on the side of caution?

-On this occasion, I'll agree with you. How about two links?

-Yes.

Two links. Here are your clues.

I'm not good at my Roald Dahl books, either.

Is it... It can't be a llama, they're in South America.

So...

Alp... They're also South American.

Anything in Africa?

A leopard? Could be a leopard.

We're going to go for a leopard.

Am I a leopard?

No.

No.

So, Hilary and Wiz, you can now return the favour

and nick a link from Colin and Simon. What am I?

BOTH: A giraffe.

It's giraffe. Am I a giraffe?

Yep.

APPLAUSE

OK. Good stuff. So let's cut that link.

-Neck and neck, and it's your go.

-Shall we do two this time?

-I think we're going to do two.

-OK.

Your question is asking...

-How many links?

-Two, please.

-We'll go for two, please.

Two? For two links, here are your clues.

-Do you think so? Yes?

-Yeah.

-Yes.

BOTH: Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

Am I Isambard Kingdom Brunel?

APPLAUSE

The remaining clue was...

OK. Let's cut those two links.

OK.

Colin, Simon, right, your question is asking...

How many links?

I think we've got to the stage where it's all or nothing.

-Do or die.

-You want to die?!

-Let's try and do. Can we go for...

-Four links.

-..four links, please?

Marvellous. Very brave. Well done, chaps.

May your god go with you. For four links, here's your clue.

-Tough.

-Yeah.

-It's got to be someone who is well known.

-Someone famous who's...

-But didn't want to fight.

-Probably American.

Is it George Bush?

-Was he a conscientious objector?

-He could have been.

-Do you know what? Let's go for...

-George Bush.

Am I George Bush?

No.

OK.

-So that was a gamble that completely backfired.

-Yeah.

Hilary and Wiz, you've got a chance to nick a link

because you're now going to see all the clues.

Yep.

-BOTH: Muhammad Ali.

-Muhammad Ali.

Am I Muhammad Ali?

APPLAUSE

Cut that link.

Ho-ho!

And it's now your go.

Hilary and Wiz, your question is asking...

How many links would you like to cut?

-We'll just go for the...

-One, please.

-Go for the one.

-..the one.

-OK.

For one link,

what am I? Here are your clues.

Oh...

I am named after the region in France where I am made.

BOTH: Champagne.

They chorused.

Am I champagne?

APPLAUSE

Let's cut your final link.

Et voila!

APPLAUSE

Well done, Hilary and Wiz.

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

-Colin, Simon...

-Yes.

-You were fascinating,

I have to say,

however, we have to say goodbye to you.

-Thank you very much for playing The Link.

-Thanks for having us.

-Had a lovely day.

-Thank you. Goodbye.

APPLAUSE

Hilary and Wiz,

you are today's finalists. You've brought through

£2,750,

and we're adding £2,000 to that.

Today, you're playing for £4,750.

APPLAUSE

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

Somebody has got his eye on a new set of golf clubs.

-Has he really?

-Yeah.

But we're both scuba divers so we'll probably go and do a bit

-of scuba diving in the Caribbean.

-Really?

-That'd be really nice.

To take that money home, you have just 60 seconds

to find six super-links.

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

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

and we'll stop the clock. If you're right,

you can take that money home,

but choose to play on

and your team-mate will tackle the next super-link.

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

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

Run out of time and you'll leave with zilch. Zippo.

Zip!

Who's going to play first?

I think that's going to be me.

Right, Hilary, you're on your own.

The clock will start when you see the first clue.

Um...are they footballers?

Are they footballers?

-No.

-No.

-Ah!

-Hartnell, McGann, Smith, Baker,

Pertwee, Capaldi and Eccleston

-played the Doctor in Doctor Who.

-Yep.

Which means play stays with you, Hilary...

Mm-hm.

..and you face a new super-link.

You have 53 seconds.

The clock will start when the first clue appears.

They're types of rice.

Are they types of rice?

Yes. Well done, Hilary.

That puts you on £125.

Hilary and Wiz, with 42 seconds on the clock,

you now have a choice. You can take that money and go

-or you can play on.

-I think we'll play on.

-So, Wiz,

your turn now.

The clock will start when the first clue appears.

Motor racing.

Is the link motor racing?

Formula One,

but we will accept motor racing.

The remaining clues were...

That puts you on £300.

You now have a choice. You can take that money and go

or you can play on.

-Carrying on?

-I think so.

-Yeah. We'll try the next one.

-OK.

OK, Hilary, your go.

The clock'll restart when the first clue appears.

-Hilary?

-They're deserts.

Are they deserts?

Yes, they are.

APPLAUSE

OK. The remaining answers would have been...

When did you get it?

-Namib.

-Yeah, yeah.

See, Thar, I'd never heard of that.

-No.

-Gibson - Australian.

Excellent. Excellent work.

That puts you on £500.

So, you can take that £500 and go,

-or you can play.

-Do 50? I think so.

-Yes.

-Yeah.

-You'll carry on?

-Yeah.

Wiz, your go.

The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

Witches.

I didn't have a chance to say "grotbags", but I will now.

Is the answer witches?

APPLAUSE

Yes.

The remaining clues would have been...

That puts you on £750.

You've got 21 seconds remaining.

So, you now have the choice -

take the money and go, or play on.

-What do you think?

-You make every other decision,

you make this one.

-I'll give it a go.

-Yeah.

Good.

-Good for you.

-You can do it.

Right, Hilary.

Your turn now. Clock will restart when the first clue appears.

Um...

Are they Rihanna singles?

Are they Rihanna singles?

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Fabulous, fabulous work.

Amazing!

Where did that come from?

-Where did you pull that out of?

-I have no idea.

-No idea.

-But it was in there.

Right, that puts you on £1,000.

-Eight seconds...

-You've got eight seconds.

I'm not that brave. I think we'll quit while we're ahead.

-I think we'll quit while we're ahead.

-Hilary and Wiz,

you're going home with £1,000.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thanks. You've been great, great contestants,

and that Rihanna singles was absolutely brilliant.

-Did you know it?

-I hadn't a clue.

-When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

-Thank you for playing The Link.

-Thank you very much.

-Goodbye.

Join us next time when three more pairs will be playing The Link.

See you then. Bye!
