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

0:00:170:00:21

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 are 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's feeling ready, resilient and remarkable.

0:00:330:00:38

My name's Linda and I'm an IT trainer from York.

0:00:410:00:44

-And this is my colleague.

-I'm Phil.

0:00:440:00:47

I live in Little Sutton in Cheshire and I'm an IT trainer in Liverpool.

0:00:470:00:50

-APPLAUSE

-And the link is you're colleagues.

0:00:500:00:54

-Yeah.

-How long have you worked together?

0:00:540:00:57

It was a couple of years ago and we worked together on a contract.

0:00:570:01:00

And it was about three months and we have kept in touch ever since.

0:01:000:01:03

Brilliant. Good luck with playing The Link.

0:01:030:01:07

Adam and Dan, please introduce yourselves.

0:01:070:01:09

My name's Adam, I'm a development manager from Hertfordshire,

0:01:090:01:12

originally from Southend-on-Sea, and I'm here today with my friend.

0:01:120:01:15

I'm Daniel, I'm also from Hertfordshire.

0:01:150:01:18

Again, like Adam, from Southend-on-Sea originally,

0:01:180:01:21

and I'm an estate agent. APPLAUSE

0:01:210:01:25

-Hello there.

-Hello.

0:01:250:01:26

-Longest pier in the country. Is that right?

-It is still the longest.

0:01:260:01:29

-As long as things stop crashing into it, it'll be all right.

-Good.

0:01:290:01:33

-Welcome to The Link.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

-Amy and Bill.

0:01:330:01:37

Hi, I'm Amy. I'm from Erskine in Renfrewshire

0:01:370:01:40

and I work as a merchandiser in the clothing manufacture industry.

0:01:400:01:44

-And this is my dad.

-I'm Bill.

0:01:440:01:46

I'm an airline security supervisor and I'm also from Renfrewshire.

0:01:460:01:50

-Thank you, Amy and Bill, and welcome to The Link.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:01:540:01:58

Welcome, all. Now pay attention.

0:01:580:02:00

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

0:02:000:02:08

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

0:02:080:02:11

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

0:02:110:02:15

until they drop into your bank. And here's how you cut the links.

0:02:150:02:18

I'm going to ask you four questions

0:02:180:02:21

and you have to work out what links the answers.

0:02:210:02:23

If you can find the link from the first question alone,

0:02:230:02:26

you will be able to cut four of those links.

0:02:260:02:30

If you spot it after the second answer,

0:02:300:02:32

you can cut three links, then two, then one.

0:02:320:02:36

-And, of course, the link here is...

-ALL: Herbs.

-Herbs!

0:02:390:02:43

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

0:02:430:02:46

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

0:02:460:02:51

Let's play The Link.

0:02:510:02:52

0:03:580:04:00

She's got a picture of a famous one with babies dressed

0:04:000:04:03

0:04:030:04:06

0:04:100:04:14

0:04:140:04:16

0:04:180:04:20

So, Phil's a keeper. The remaining clues would have been:

0:16:240:16:28

-Yeah! Very good.

0:16:310:16:33

Right. The other clues would have been:

0:16:360:16:38

-So, you've got four links.

-We'll have the blue one, I reckon.

0:16:410:16:45

-Really?

-I think so.

0:16:450:16:47

With your four links, you are going to release £2,000 into your bank.

0:16:470:16:53

APPLAUSE

0:17:010:17:03

Linda and Phil, you have £500.

0:17:060:17:09

Amy and Bill haven't banked anything yet

0:17:090:17:12

but you could still go through to the next round.

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

0:17:290:17:31

-Colours of the rainbow.

-Your three clues.

0:18:520:18:55

But none of you have a chance to make the link.

-HE READS THE CLUES

-What's the link?

0:20:370:20:40

-It's a place as well, isn't it?

-Rugby is based...is it Warwickshire?

0:20:400:20:45

Dress, though, has got nothing to do with that.

0:20:460:20:50

-What else does Rugby go with? Schools.

-Names Of Schools.

0:20:500:20:54

Names Of Schools. Is Names Of Schools the link?

0:20:540:20:57

No. It's not. Everyone back in play. Stand-by.

0:20:590:21:04

APPLAUSE

0:21:340:21:36

And the last clue was T.

0:21:380:21:41

-Let's cut those two links and put £750 into Amy and Bill's bank.

-Phew!

0:21:430:21:48

APPLAUSE

0:21:540:21:56

So that means Adam and Dan are through with £3,425.

0:21:590:22:02

Amy and Bill are through with 750, at the last minute.

0:22:040:22:09

Linda and Phil, unfortunately, with only £500, are going home.

0:22:100:22:15

-That was a good round, I thought.

-We were doing well and then...

0:22:150:22:20

-You played really well together. Did you feel like that?

-Yeah.

0:22:200:22:23

Just didn't get the connections.

0:22:230:22:25

-Linda and Phil, thanks for playing The Link.

-Thank you.

-Thank you.

0:22:250:22:28

-Goodbye.

-APPLAUSE

0:22:280:22:30

Adam and Dan and Amy and Bill, you're still in the game.

0:22:320:22:36

Adam and Dan, you banked £3,425.

0:22:360:22:40

Amy and Bill, you banked £750.

0:22:400:22:44

That money is now in these two cash pods,

0:22:440:22:48

each held by seven links.

0:22:480:22:50

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

0:22:500:22:54

takes their money through to the final round.

0:22:540:22:57

The other team will be out.

0:22:570:23:00

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

0:23:000:23:02

because you decide how many links you want to cut.

0:23:020:23:06

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

0:23:060:23:09

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

0:23:090:23:13

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

0:23:130:23:18

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

0:23:180:23:23

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

0:23:230:23:25

through to this round, and that is Adam and Dan.

0:23:250:23:29

Stand-by. The first question is asking...

0:23:310:23:34

-How many links, Adam and Dan?

-I think two links.

-Start with two.

0:23:370:23:40

-Let's start with two.

-Start with two please, Mark.

-Two links.

0:23:400:23:43

Here are your clues.

0:23:430:23:45

Killer whale, I reckon. Killer whale. Killer Whale.

0:24:020:24:07

Am I a Killer Whale?

0:24:070:24:09

No.

0:24:120:24:14

Incorrect.

0:24:150:24:17

Which means Amy and Bill, you now have a chance to nick a link.

0:24:170:24:20

You will see the remaining clue for the chance to cut

0:24:200:24:22

a single link from your cash pod.

0:24:220:24:24

And it is...

0:24:240:24:26

-Yep. Dolphin.

-Dolphins.

-Am I a Dolphin?

0:24:320:24:35

APPLAUSE

0:24:370:24:39

Ouch. So, Amy and Bill, you've nicked a link. Let's remove that.

0:24:410:24:48

You now have six links remaining on your pod and it's now your turn.

0:24:500:24:55

Your question will be asking...

0:24:550:24:57

-How many links?

-Two to start? Two, please.

-Two, please.

-Please, Mark.

0:25:000:25:04

Two links. What am I?

0:25:050:25:07

What do you think? Helium? Neon?

0:25:240:25:28

-Helium's not got an odour.

-Helium.

0:25:290:25:31

-Helium.

-Go for Helium.

-Am I Helium?

0:25:310:25:35

No.

0:25:360:25:38

Adam and Dan, you now have a chance to nick a link.

0:25:380:25:42

Here's the remaining link.

0:25:420:25:44

-Nitrogen is less, isn't it?

-Nitrogen is more.

0:25:500:25:53

Nitrogen is one of the greatest, isn't it?

0:25:530:25:56

-Nitrogen and oxygen.

-It's got no colour...

0:25:560:25:58

-I need an answer.

-It's got no colour as gas. Go for that.

-Oxygen.

0:25:580:26:03

Am I Oxygen?

0:26:030:26:05

APPLAUSE

0:26:070:26:10

Yeah. Right. You've nicked a link. Let's cut it.

0:26:100:26:15

And it's now your turn. Your question is asking...

0:26:170:26:21

-For how many links?

-BOTH: Two, please.

-Two links.

0:26:240:26:26

For two links, here are your clues.

0:26:260:26:29

Right. That was Virgin so it will be Branson.

0:26:480:26:51

-I actually read something about him recently.

-Mike Oldfield.

-It's great.

0:26:510:26:54

-Richard Branson, we think it is.

-Richard Branson, please.

0:26:540:26:56

Am I SIR Richard Branson?

0:26:560:26:59

APPLAUSE

0:27:010:27:04

The last clue would have been:

0:27:050:27:07

Let's cut your links.

0:27:120:27:14

Amy and Bill, your question is asking...

0:27:190:27:22

-How many links?

-Two again, to be safe?

-Two again.

-Two.

-I don't know that one.

-William Pitt.

0:27:510:27:54

Am I William Pitt?

0:27:550:27:58

No. Adam and Dan, you've got a chance to make a link.

0:28:000:28:04

Here's the last clue.

0:28:040:28:06

Is it Disraeli? I was thinking it was Disraeli.

0:28:090:28:12

Why do you think that?

0:28:120:28:14

-Cos it's the only one I know from that era.

-Was he twice?

0:28:140:28:17

-Not a clue.

-Was he twice?

-Can we go for Disraeli?

0:28:170:28:20

Am I Disraeli?

0:28:210:28:23

No. That's not the correct link.

0:28:240:28:28

I am...Sir Robert Peel.

0:28:280:28:32

-Peelers?

-Bobbies.

-Bobbies. Exactly.

0:28:320:28:35

We stay with Adam and Dan.

0:28:350:28:38

Your question will be asking...

0:28:380:28:40

-How many links?

-Two links.

0:28:400:28:43

-Two links again, please.

-For two links, your clues are...

0:28:430:28:46

I don't know.

0:29:070:29:09

"Open" gives the idea it's a bridge or a...

0:29:110:29:13

If it's opened, do you declare...

0:29:150:29:17

If it's a building, do you open a building or do you open a bridge?

0:29:170:29:20

-Answer, please.

-The thing I know that's opened by Queen Elizabeth II

0:29:200:29:23

-was the toll bridge.

-No, that's Dartford Tunnel?

-It's a bridge.

0:29:230:29:27

-No, bridge was later, Dartford Tunnel.

-Too late. Time's up.

0:29:270:29:31

-OK. Amy and Bill, you now have a chance to nick a link.

-OK.

0:29:320:29:37

Here's the remaining clue.

0:29:370:29:39

0:29:460:29:49

-Queen Elizabeth. Yeah, it was.

-Sydney Opera House.

-Uh-huh. Yeah.

0:29:490:29:53

Am I the Sydney Opera House?

0:29:530:29:56

-Yes.

-APPLAUSE

0:29:570:30:00

-Well done.

-Let's cut that link. Five links remaining.

0:30:000:30:05

And now play now passes to you. Your question is asking...

0:30:050:30:09

-How many links?

-Shall we go two?

-I think we should go for the three.

0:30:110:30:15

-No, stick.

-Then we'll have an easier one on our last one if we go for it.

0:30:150:30:19

-I think we should go for the three just now.

-OK. Go for three, please.

0:30:190:30:22

-Go for three.

0:30:510:30:54

Am I the Mounties?

0:30:540:30:56

-No.

-Didn't think so.

0:30:590:31:01

The only thing I could think of to do with Canada.

0:31:010:31:04

Adam and Dan, you now have a chance to make a link.

0:31:050:31:08

Here are the remaining clues.

0:31:080:31:10

Women's Institute, do you think?

0:31:210:31:24

"Use the phrase 'Jam and Jerusalem' to refer to me."

0:31:240:31:27

The Rylstone branch made the calendar and I'm sure that would be

0:31:270:31:30

-Calendar Girls so that's members of the Women's Institute.

-Go on, then.

0:31:300:31:33

Can we go for Women's Institute?

0:31:330:31:36

Am I the Women's Institute?

0:31:360:31:39

-APPLAUSE

-Well done.

0:31:440:31:47

Let's cut the link you nicked.

0:31:470:31:50

Three left and it's now your turn. Your question will be asking...

0:31:520:31:57

So, how many links?

0:31:590:32:02

Shall we stick with two or shall we just go with one and if they get

0:32:020:32:05

one wrong, they've only got one at the end? Or we go with two next time.

0:32:050:32:08

-Just take one off now.

-And hope we get it right so they can't...

0:32:080:32:11

-OK, we're going to go for one. Just play tactically.

-Right, then.

0:32:110:32:16

For one link, here are your clues.

0:32:160:32:19

-Am I Daniel Radcliffe?

0:33:330:33:37

APPLAUSE

0:33:380:33:41

The other clues would have been...

0:33:440:33:48

-Never heard of that film.

-Never heard of that.

-Very good. OK.

0:33:530:33:57

Let's cut your links.

0:33:570:33:59

Right. That's looking healthier. Two links remaining on both pods.

0:34:040:34:08

Adam and Dan, it's your go. Your question is asking...

0:34:080:34:12

-How many links?

-Bit of pressure now so both of them, please.

0:34:150:34:18

All right. For two links, here are your clues.

0:34:180:34:22

Oh, dear.

0:34:370:34:39

-Hurling? James Naismith.

-Federation... What is IBA?

0:34:410:34:44

Well, that's... Let's try and figure out.

0:34:440:34:46

It's probably a Scottish sport though.

0:34:460:34:48

-Scottish sport with a name like Naismith as the inventor.

-Hurling?

0:34:480:34:51

-Hurling is Irish.

-Hockey.

-Hockey.

-Hockey?

0:34:510:34:54

OK. Let's cut the link that you nicked.

0:35:230:35:27

Amy and Bill, you came from behind in the last round to go through.

Can you do it again? Your question will be...

0:35:340:35:37

-How many links?

..into Amy and Bill's bank.

0:36:300:36:32

Well done, Amy and Bill.

0:36:340:36:36

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

0:36:360:36:40

-Adam, Dan, where did it go wrong?

-We had it and lost it, Mark.

0:36:400:36:43

-It was there for us. We'll look back and kick ourselves.

-Will you?

0:36:430:36:47

-No, we'll kick each other.

-We'll kick each other!

0:36:470:36:50

However, you were great players.

0:36:500:36:53

-It was a real pleasure to have you playing The Link.

-Thank you.

0:36:530:36:56

-Thanks for having us.

-Thank you.

-Bye.

0:36:560:36:59

APPLAUSE

0:36:590:37:01

Amy and Bill, you are today's finalists.

0:37:020:37:05

You've brought through £750 with cunning and guile.

0:37:050:37:10

And we're going to add £2,000 to your 750.

0:37:100:37:15

Lovely, yeah. Sounds good.

0:37:150:37:17

So your maximum win today is £2,750.

0:37:170:37:21

APPLAUSE

0:37:220:37:25

So, what would you do with that if you won it?

0:37:250:37:28

We'd love... Amy's got two...

0:37:290:37:31

I've got three grandkids and we'd like to take them all...

0:37:310:37:35

-We'd like to go to Florida.

-Florida, yeah, on a family holiday.

0:37:350:37:38

Sounds great to me. OK.

0:37:380:37:40

To take that money home you have just 60 seconds

0:37:400:37:43

to find six super-links.

0:37:430:37:45

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

0:37:470:37:51

As soon as you think you know the answer,

0:37:510:37:55

buzz in and we'll stop the clock.

0:37:550:37:58

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

0:37:580:38:02

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

0:38:020:38:05

If you're wrong, play stays with you.

0:38:070:38:10

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

0:38:100:38:14

Run out of time and you leave with zero, zilch, zot.

0:38:140:38:19

-Who's going to play first?

-I'm going to play first.

0:38:210:38:24

Amy, you're on your own.

0:38:240:38:27

The clock will start when you see the first clue.

0:38:270:38:30

HE READS THE CLUES

0:38:350:38:38

Dances.

0:38:420:38:45

Is the link Dances?

0:38:450:38:47

-Good girl.

-APPLAUSE

0:38:490:38:51

Well done! Your remaining clues were...

0:38:510:38:55

That puts you on £125.

0:38:590:39:02

Amy and Bill, with £125

0:39:040:39:07

and 52 seconds remaining, you now have a choice.

0:39:070:39:12

You can go with that money or you can play on.

0:39:120:39:16

-Play on.

-Play on.

-Play on, please.

-OK.

0:39:160:39:19

Bill. Your turn now.

0:39:190:39:22

The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:39:220:39:25

Tennis.

0:39:380:39:40

Is the link Tennis?

0:39:420:39:44

-A bit too far.

-Yeah.

-The remaining clues were...

0:39:480:39:53

The link, of course, was Wimbledon.

0:39:550:39:57

Which means play stays with you, Bill.

0:39:570:40:00

You now face a new super-link. 41 seconds remaining.

0:40:010:40:05

The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:40:050:40:08

Landslide. Fantasy.

0:40:100:40:13

Mama. Thunderbolt.

0:40:130:40:15

Queen Songs.

0:40:200:40:22

Is the link Queen Songs?

0:40:220:40:24

No. The remaining clues were:

0:40:250:40:28

It was a Queen song but specifically it was Bohemian Rhapsody.

0:40:340:40:40

-Which means, Bill...

-Still with me.

-Still with you.

0:40:400:40:42

You now face a new super-link. 32 seconds left.

0:40:420:40:46

The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:40:460:40:49

Waterfalls.

0:41:040:41:07

Is the link Waterfalls?

0:41:070:41:09

-Yes.

-APPLAUSE

0:41:100:41:13

the final clue was...

0:41:150:41:17

That puts you on £300.

0:41:180:41:22

Amy and Bill, with 20 seconds remaining on the clock,

0:41:220:41:26

you now have a choice.

0:41:260:41:28

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

0:41:280:41:31

-Play on. Go for it.

-Play on, please.

-OK. Amy, you're on your own.

-OK.

0:41:310:41:36

The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:41:360:41:39

Anthony Hopkins.

0:41:580:42:01

Is the link Anthony Hopkins?

0:42:010:42:03

APPLAUSE Well done.

0:42:050:42:07

You said, under your breath you just went, "Well done!"

0:42:100:42:13

They were all Anthony Hopkins films.

0:42:150:42:17

That puts you on...

0:42:170:42:20

-£500.

-What should we do?

-With seven seconds remaining.

0:42:200:42:25

I think we've pushed our luck.

0:42:250:42:27

We have been lucky the last two rounds at the last minute.

0:42:270:42:29

-I think we've pushed our luck enough.

-OK. Seven seconds.

0:42:290:42:32

-It's very ominous, that.

-BOTH: Yeah.

0:42:320:42:35

Amy and Bill, you're going home with £500.

0:42:350:42:39

APPLAUSE

0:42:390:42:41

-That's not necessarily going to get you to Florida.

-No.

0:42:440:42:47

-But it will get you part of the way.

-Yeah, that's it.

-Part of the way.

0:42:470:42:50

-And you played as a team. It was very good.

-Thank you.

0:42:500:42:53

That will be a first!

0:42:530:42:55

-Thank you very much...

-It's been a pleasure.

0:42:550:42:57

-Good to be here.

-..for playing The Link.

0:42:570:43:00

APPLAUSE

0:43:000:43:02

Join us next time when three more pairs will be

0:43:020:43:04

trying to make all the right connections on The Link.

0:43:040:43:08

See you then. Goodbye.

0:43:080:43:10
