0:17:09 > 0:17:13It could be Roman numerals. It could be X Men films.
0:17:14 > 0:17:17- Go for numerals? Films. - I'm going to have to hurry you.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Films, films, films. - Films, films, films.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Is it films, films, films?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25No. Right, then.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29For three links, everyone's back in play. The next question.

0:17:57 > 0:18:00- with the little house underneath? - I don't have a clue.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- I don't have a clue. - Who was in...
0:18:02 > 0:18:05The only thing I can think is Moulin Rouge, Paris.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- But I can't think what the X... - What's Paris got to do with X?
0:18:07 > 0:18:12- Maybe it's windmill.- Windmill.
0:18:12 > 0:18:15Is it windmill?
0:18:15 > 0:18:19No. I love that thinking, though.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21Everyone's back in play.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24Stand by. For two links.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26He was the first lead singer of INXS?

0:19:06 > 0:19:09Which Australian soap featured a Labrador called Bouncer
0:19:09 > 0:19:14from 1987 until 1993? Neighbours is correct.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19So, for one link, what's the link?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22- I think it's Kylie Minogue, isn't it?- That's what I was going to say.
0:19:22 > 0:19:25- Were you?- What were you going for?
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- No, no. Kylie Minogue, please. - Is it Kylie Minogue?

0:19:39 > 0:19:42she dated Michael Hutchence and, of course,
0:19:42 > 0:19:45appeared in the soap Neighbours. You have one link.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47What are you going to do with it? How are you going to use it?
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- This is a tricky one, I think. - I know.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52We can make ourselves unpopular again
0:19:52 > 0:19:56and we take one off the 1,000 to make the 2,000 harder to get?
0:19:56 > 0:19:58- Well, go on if you want to. - What do you want to do?- No, no.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01If it's one link it doesn't... OK, we'll take one off the 1,000, please.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04- SHE GROANS - Let's cut that link.
0:20:05 > 0:20:09Sue and Chris, you've got £925, Jon and Nnamdi have got zero,
0:20:09 > 0:20:12Amanda and Scott have got 750.
0:20:12 > 0:20:17However, there is £3,000 still on the screen. Stand by.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19For four links.

0:20:27 > 0:20:30- Bobby.- Bobby is correct.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34Bobby. There's your first clue. What's the link?
0:20:35 > 0:20:37I'm thinking words for policemen.
0:20:37 > 0:20:41- Police, yeah, that's the first thing I thought of.- Really?- Yeah.- Good.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45- We'll go for policemen. - Is it policeman?
0:20:47 > 0:20:49APPLAUSE
0:20:51 > 0:20:53The remaining clues would have been...
0:20:56 > 0:21:00- Sting, member of the Police, obviously.- Oh, yeah.- Right.
0:21:00 > 0:21:04You've got four links. What are you going to do?
0:21:04 > 0:21:06We'll cut all four on the 2,000, please.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10I thought you might say that. Let's cut those links.
0:21:14 > 0:21:18Releasing £2,000 into your bank. Which means...
0:21:18 > 0:21:23- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - ..you have £2,925,
0:21:23 > 0:21:27which means you will be going through to the next round.
0:21:27 > 0:21:29However, with £1,000 still on the screen,
0:21:29 > 0:21:33still all to play for for Jon and Nnamdi and Amanda and Scott.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03- Mississippi. - LAUGHTER
0:22:05 > 0:22:09Nobody has a chance to make the link. You're all back in play.
0:22:09 > 0:22:15Stand by for three links now, with two remaining on the £1,000.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20What does the Latin word "Rex" mean in English? Sue.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- King.- King is correct.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29What is the link?

0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Erm... - SHE HESITATES
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- I can guess Martin Luther King. - Martin Luther King.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Is it Martin Luther King?
0:22:46 > 0:22:50No. For two links, everybody's still in play.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58in the 1987 Grammy awards ceremony? Sue.
0:22:58 > 0:23:02- Graceland.- Graceland is correct.
0:23:03 > 0:23:05SHE GASPS
0:23:08 > 0:23:12- What's the link?- We think it's Elvis.- You're saying Elvis.- Yes.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Which would mean you would be able to take that £1,000,
0:23:16 > 0:23:20go through to the next round with £3,925.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Is it Elvis?
0:23:24 > 0:23:26CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:23:31 > 0:23:34So, the remaining clue would have been...
0:23:34 > 0:23:38He was born in Mississippi, his nickname was the King,
0:23:38 > 0:23:42his house was Graceland and he was married to Priscilla.
0:23:42 > 0:23:46So, how are you going to use your two links?
0:23:46 > 0:23:48- HE LAUGHS - Come on, Chris.
0:23:48 > 0:23:50Can we take two off the 1,000, please?
0:23:50 > 0:23:54Chris is taking two off the 1,000. His mum says yes as well.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57APPLAUSE
0:23:59 > 0:24:03Which puts £3,925 in Sue and Chris's bank.
0:24:04 > 0:24:10Amanda and Scott have £750 and go through to the next round.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12And we say goodbye to Jon and Nnamdi.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17- Thanks very much for coming on the show.- Thanks for having us.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20- Jon and Nnamdi, arrivederci. - APPLAUSE
0:24:24 > 0:24:28Sue and Chris, Amanda and Scott, you're still in the game.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Sue and Chris, you banked £3,925.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Amanda and Scott, you banked 750.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39That money is now in these two cash pods.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Each held, as you can see, by seven links.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47The first team to cut all the links and release their cash pod
0:24:47 > 0:24:50takes their money through to the final round.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53The other team will be out.
0:24:53 > 0:24:57Now, you can be as brave or as cautious as you like
0:24:57 > 0:25:00because you decide how many links you want to cut.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03I'm going to ask you to identify a person,
0:25:03 > 0:25:07place or thing from a series of clues and you tell me
0:25:07 > 0:25:11whether you want to pay for one, two, three or four links.
0:25:11 > 0:25:15But the more links you play for, the fewer clues you will receive.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17You'll take it in turns to play
0:25:17 > 0:25:20and we start with the team who has brought the most money
0:25:20 > 0:25:24through to this round, and that is Sue and Chris.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32Round two. The first question is asking...
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- How many links?- Erm...
0:25:38 > 0:25:41If it was a who, I'd say only two links
0:25:41 > 0:25:45- because I don't think we'd be too great at that.- I think I agree.
0:25:45 > 0:25:48So we're going to chance it for three, then? Yeah.
0:25:48 > 0:25:51Just keep going with two? What do you think?
0:25:51 > 0:25:54Go on, then, we'll play safe if you want.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- OK, we'll have two links, please.- OK.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01For two links, here are your clues...
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Hmm.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19We probably could have had all four
0:26:19 > 0:26:21and we wouldn't have been any better off. Erm...
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Set on fire during the War of 1812.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Which means it must be somewhere not in England.
0:26:26 > 0:26:30- I think it might be the White House. - Yeah, go on, say that.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- The White House. - Am I the White House?
0:26:34 > 0:26:36- APPLAUSE - Well done. Well done.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38The other clue would have been...
0:26:44 > 0:26:46Which I wouldn't have got.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Chris, what suddenly made you get that?
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- Oddly enough...- The bowling alley?
0:26:51 > 0:26:54The bowling alley. I remember someone telling...
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- Reading somewhere about the bowling alley.- Great god of trivia.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00- Exactly.- Well done. Let's cut those two links.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09OK. Five remaining. Amanda, Scott. The next question is asking...
0:27:13 > 0:27:15How many links?
0:27:15 > 0:27:20- Think for the time being we've got to play it a little safer.- Yeah.
0:27:20 > 0:27:25- What are you thinking? - Play for two links.- Two. I agree.
0:27:25 > 0:27:30- We're going to play for two links. - Two links. Here are your clues.
0:27:51 > 0:27:55It's the...Rugby Union World Cup, isn't it?
0:27:55 > 0:27:59I have no idea so I'm really glad that you're thinking something.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02I'm going to... I think it's the Rugby Union World Cup.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06Am I the Rugby Union World Cup?
0:28:07 > 0:28:10- Yes! - APPLAUSE
0:28:10 > 0:28:14Very good. There was a great little "yes" there.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17The remaining clue would have been...
0:28:21 > 0:28:27What a great goal that was! Right. You have two links. Let's cut them.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33Five plays five.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Advantage goes back to you, Sue and Chris.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39The next question is asking...
0:28:42 > 0:28:46- How many links?- I think we play two links again on this.- Yeah?
0:28:46 > 0:28:49- I don't think we're as good on people, so... Two links?- I agree.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51Two links, please.
0:28:51 > 0:28:54For two links, here are your clues...
0:29:11 > 0:29:17- Erm... I hope you know this! - I think it might be Peter Kay.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21- Do you know, I was thinking that too.- Because he did...
0:29:21 > 0:29:24- But what was the single? - Show Me The Way To Amarillo.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27- Go on, then. Peter Kay, please. - Peter Kay.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31- Chris, was that your first thought? - It's my only thought so it's...
0:29:31 > 0:29:35Your only thought. Therefore it has a great worth.
0:29:37 > 0:29:39Is it Peter Kay?
0:29:41 > 0:29:43- APPLAUSE - Well done again.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Well done, Chris. Cos I had no idea.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52The remaining clue would have been...
0:29:54 > 0:29:59- I'd have got it then!- Yeah! - OK. Let's cut those two links.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07Amanda and Scott, pressure.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12The next question is asking...
0:30:13 > 0:30:17- How many links? - I kind of think that...
0:30:19 > 0:30:21- Now there is a bit of pressure, we need to...- Yeah.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23I don't think we'd probably get it on one.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26If we've got to go for it, which we probably really need to,
0:30:26 > 0:30:29but I still don't think we would get it and that would help them.
0:30:29 > 0:30:35- So... What should we do? Go for... - We've got to try and...two links.
0:30:35 > 0:30:40- Two links again. - Two links. For two links, who am I?
0:30:57 > 0:31:00I can't think of any fighter pilot.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02The book The Gremlins was written for Walt...
0:31:02 > 0:31:06"My book, The Gremlins, was written for Walt Disney." Gremlins?
0:31:07 > 0:31:11"I wrote several scripts for films, including Chitty Chitty Bang Bang."
0:31:11 > 0:31:13- We need an answer. - I don't know.- Any minute now.
0:31:13 > 0:31:17- Can't even think of a pilot. - Quickly.- I can't think.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21- Out of time.- Sorry, can't think of anything.- Nothing.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Sue and Chris, you now have a chance to make a link.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27You will see the remaining clue for a chance
0:31:27 > 0:31:29to cut a single link from your cash pod.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31And it is...
0:31:36 > 0:31:40Roald Dahl, isn't it?
0:31:41 > 0:31:45- Veruca Salt, isn't that in Charlie And The Chocolate Factory?- Yeah.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49- So, we're going to say Roald Dahl. - Is it Roald Dahl?
0:31:53 > 0:31:57Did you not know that Veruca Salt was Roald Dahl?
0:31:57 > 0:32:01So, Sue and Chris, you've nicked a link. Let's take it off your pod.
0:32:04 > 0:32:09Play passes to you for the next question, which is asking...
0:32:11 > 0:32:15- How many links?- Shall we try two? - Well, they can't...
0:32:15 > 0:32:19- They've got five so they can't win. - You mean you want to go with one?
0:32:19 > 0:32:23- Your call.- Let's go one link, if that's what you want.- OK.
0:32:23 > 0:32:28For one link, here are your clues. Who am I?
0:32:49 > 0:32:54- Hmm. Yeah. I think it was good to go with four.- Yes.- Yeah.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58- I'm thinking Louis Pasteur, are you? - Yeah. Absolutely.- Louis Pasteur.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01Am I Louis Pasteur?
0:33:05 > 0:33:08I might have guessed it from the germs one.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11Let's cut one of your links.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15It's a bit cruel, this, I have to say.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18- Stringing it out a bit, aren't we? - You are a bit.
0:33:18 > 0:33:22You know, that's your prerogative, clearly. OK.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24Amanda and Scott, you have five links remaining.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27The next question is asking...
0:33:30 > 0:33:32How many links would you like?
0:33:32 > 0:33:34I think we should just go for one link cos I think they're
0:33:34 > 0:33:36going to get it regardless on the next clue
0:33:36 > 0:33:39and then we have to just go for it anyway on the "What Am I"?
0:33:39 > 0:33:43- So I would just go for one. - Yeah. Yeah, might as well.
0:33:43 > 0:33:47- We're just going to go with one link. - You're going to go with one link.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51OK, then. For one link.
0:34:19 > 0:34:24I thought originally it was Elizabeth Taylor.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26- Is it...- Has she had children?
0:34:28 > 0:34:32Running out of time. Any minute now I need an answer.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37Time's out. No. OK, Sue and Chris.
0:34:37 > 0:34:41You now have a chance to nick a link which, of course,
0:34:41 > 0:34:47would mean that you take £3,925 through to the final round.
0:34:49 > 0:34:54- Can you tell me the link between those four clues?- I think I know.
0:34:54 > 0:34:58- I think it's Judy... I think it's Judy Garland.- OK.- Judy Garland.
0:34:58 > 0:35:00Is it Judy Garland?
0:35:03 > 0:35:05SHE CHEERS Yes!
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Let's cut the final link. A satisfying splosh.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17APPLAUSE
0:35:19 > 0:35:21Well done, Sue and Chris.
0:35:21 > 0:35:25You are through to the final round and that cash goes with you.
0:35:25 > 0:35:28However, Amanda and Scott, we have to say goodbye to you.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31I thought you played really well
0:35:31 > 0:35:35and I thought you were going to do better than you did. What happened?
0:35:35 > 0:35:39- When I took control, it all fell apart.- No.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42You were great contestants. Thanks very much for playing The Link.
0:35:42 > 0:35:44- Goodbye. - APPLAUSE
0:35:46 > 0:35:49Sue and Chris, you are today's finalists.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51You've brought through £3,925.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59And we're adding £2,000 to that
0:35:59 > 0:36:01so today you are playing for £5,925.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:36:07 > 0:36:10- A lot of money.- Any thoughts on what you're going to do with that?
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Yeah, definitely.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15I'm off to the Caribbean to watch some cricket over there.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17- Are you really?- Absolutely. - Marvellous.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19What do you think about that, Sue?
0:36:19 > 0:36:22Well, I'm not sure I approve but I think I'll buy a sofa.
0:36:22 > 0:36:25You're going to buy a sofa. That's good, then.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29That's very good apportionment. Well done. Right.
0:36:29 > 0:36:33To take that money home you have just 60 seconds
0:36:33 > 0:36:35to find six super-links.
0:36:37 > 0:36:39At each level you need to identify the link
0:36:39 > 0:36:42between the ten one-word clues.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44As soon as you think you know the answer,
0:36:44 > 0:36:46buzz in and we'll stop the clock.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50If you are right you can take that money home but choose to play on
0:36:50 > 0:36:55and your team-mate will tackle the next super-link.
0:36:55 > 0:36:57But if you're wrong, play stays with you
0:36:57 > 0:37:01and we will restart the clock and you'll face a new set of clues.
0:37:01 > 0:37:03Run out of time and you leave with nothing.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Nowt. Nullity.
0:37:06 > 0:37:11- Who's going to play first?- I'm going to play first.- Are you, Chris?- Yeah.
0:37:11 > 0:37:14Who decided that? You just did.
0:37:14 > 0:37:17No. Again, we had a tactic all the way
0:37:17 > 0:37:21and in the last couple of minutes we changed that tactic.
0:37:21 > 0:37:24I think Mum's on fire with the links today
0:37:24 > 0:37:27so if we get to the last one, we want her to be there.
0:37:27 > 0:37:29OK. Chris, you're on your own.
0:37:29 > 0:37:34- Yeah.- The clock will start when you see the first clue.
0:37:52 > 0:37:55BUZZER What's his name? What's his name?
0:37:55 > 0:37:57Sylvester Stallone films.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Is it Sylvester Stallone films?
0:38:01 > 0:38:04APPLAUSE
0:38:07 > 0:38:10I've been trying not to say this but good boy!
0:38:10 > 0:38:12Well done.
0:38:12 > 0:38:19Your final clue would have been Rocky. So, that puts you on £125.
0:38:24 > 0:38:28With 46 seconds on the clock, you now have a choice.
0:38:28 > 0:38:32You can take that money home or you can play on.
0:38:32 > 0:38:36- We'll play on.- Play on. - OK, Sue. Your turn now.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39The clock will restart when the first clue appears.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56- BUZZER - I think it's Whoopi Goldberg.
0:38:58 > 0:39:03- You think it's Whoopi Goldberg. - Yeah.- Is it Whoopi Goldberg?
0:39:05 > 0:39:08- No.- Oh, Hamlet. - The final clues would have been...
0:39:11 > 0:39:15The link was Hamlet. So, play stays with you, Sue.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18You are on £125.
0:39:18 > 0:39:2435 seconds on the clock and you face a new super-link.

0:39:47 > 0:39:49- Yes. Well done. - APPLAUSE
0:39:51 > 0:39:53The remaining clues would have been...
0:39:56 > 0:40:01- When did you get it?- Curragh was getting there and then York.
0:40:01 > 0:40:06- Right.- Yeah.- Well done. That puts you on £300.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Sue and Chris, with 24 seconds remaining, you now have a choice.
0:40:12 > 0:40:18- You can take that money and go or you can play on.- Let's go.
0:40:18 > 0:40:21- We'll go for it. We'll try. - You want to go for it.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23Chris, it's your turn.
0:40:23 > 0:40:28- Are you ready?- Yeah.- The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:40:53 > 0:40:55No, pears.
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Which means play stays with you, Chris.
0:40:59 > 0:41:05You have to play on and face the new super-link with 11 seconds left.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08The clock will restart when the first clue appears.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21BUZZER
0:41:21 > 0:41:24I don't have a clue. Erm...
0:41:26 > 0:41:28Time's out.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30The correct answer was...
0:41:34 > 0:41:36The remaining clues would have been...
0:41:38 > 0:41:42So, Chris,
0:41:42 > 0:41:46you've got one second remaining but play stays with you.
0:41:47 > 0:41:53You cannot take that £300 unless you make this next super-link
0:41:53 > 0:41:59- and you have to face it. Your mum is supporting you.- All the way!- Right.
0:42:01 > 0:42:04With one second left, the clock will restart when the first clue appears.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07- Are you ready, Chris?- Yeah.- Good.
0:42:09 > 0:42:12- BUZZER - Go on, then, Luskentyre.

0:42:19 > 0:42:22- That's "why"? - It looks vaguely German, you know.
0:42:22 > 0:42:24You've said it now.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28Is the link Germany?

0:42:45 > 0:42:50You took through £5,925 to the final round.
0:42:50 > 0:42:52You were storming it when you were stood over there.
0:42:52 > 0:42:55- Is it just cos you moved here, do you think?- Yeah.
