0:03:03 > 0:03:07If you can find that link from the first answer alone,
0:03:07 > 0:03:09you'll be able to cut four of those links.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14If you spot it after the second answer, you can cut three links.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17Then two. Then one.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20- I wonder what we'll do here? - Sorry. Sorry, Steve.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23We don't want to ruin your prophecy.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59Steven and Adam need to buck up!
0:17:59 > 0:18:01LAUGHTER
0:18:01 > 0:18:05However, there's £1,750 left on the screen

0:21:50 > 0:21:53With your three links, how would you like to use them?
0:21:53 > 0:21:55We need to bank money.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58So we need two off the 750 and one off the 1,000.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02- Let's do it.- Yes.- All right, let's take one off the 1,000...

0:23:43 > 0:23:46- Take it off the 1,000, please. - Right, let's do that.
0:23:52 > 0:23:55- And there it goes! - APPLAUSE
0:24:00 > 0:24:05Which means Rachel and Andy have £2,500 and you are through.
0:24:06 > 0:24:10Steven and Adam, £1,750 - you're through to the next round.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14Melissa and Alan, with only £425,
0:24:14 > 0:24:16we're saying goodbye to you.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- It's been good fun.- Yeah, thank you.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23It was, as they say, neck and neck, although nobody was racing.
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- Melissa and Alan, thanks very much. - Thank you. Thank you very much.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28- Good luck, everybody.- Thank you.
0:24:32 > 0:24:37Rachel and Andy, Steven and Adam, you're still in the game.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41Rachel and Andy, you banked £2,500.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46Steven and Adam, you banked £1,750.
0:24:46 > 0:24:52That money is now in these two cash pods, each held by seven links.
0:24:52 > 0:24:56The first team to cut all the links and release their cash pod
0:24:56 > 0:25:00takes their money through to the final round.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03The other team will be out.
0:25:03 > 0:25:06And now you can be as brave or as cautious as you like,
0:25:06 > 0:25:10cos you decide how many links you want to cut.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13I'm going to ask you to identify a person,
0:25:13 > 0:25:17place or thing from a series of clues and you tell me
0:25:17 > 0:25:21whether you want to play for one, two, three or four links.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25The more links you play for, the fewer clues you'll receive.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28We'll start with the team who has brought the most money
0:25:28 > 0:25:31through to this round - and that is Rachel and Andy.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37The first question is asking...
0:25:40 > 0:25:41How many links?
0:25:41 > 0:25:44I think it's a good strategy to get off to a quite good start,
0:25:44 > 0:25:46not being too aggressive at this stage.
0:25:46 > 0:25:50- Shall we go for two links? - It's like you read my mind.- Yeah?
0:25:50 > 0:25:54- We'll go for two links, please. - Two links. Here are your clues.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14- Didn't he do Grange Hill? - Phil Redmond?
0:26:14 > 0:26:17I don't have anything to offer so if you want to go with Grange Hill,
0:26:17 > 0:26:19that's fine. We'll do it. We've got no better offer.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22- No pressure(!)- Grange Hill.- Yeah.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Am I Grange Hill?
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Well done!
0:26:30 > 0:26:32The last clue would have been...
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Let's cut those links.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47Steven and Adam, your question is asking...
0:26:50 > 0:26:52- How many links? - I like their strategy.- I do.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55I think err on the cautious side and copy them.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57I think that's what we're going to do. Two links.
0:26:57 > 0:26:59You're going for two links. For two links, here are your clues.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18I think it's... I think it's Hong Kong.
0:27:18 > 0:27:23- Well, you seem pretty confident. - You have the junks in Hong Kong.
0:27:23 > 0:27:27- Shall we go for it?- OK. Go ahead. - We'll try Hong Kong.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Am I Hong Kong?
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Yes!
0:27:35 > 0:27:37The last clue would have been...
0:27:42 > 0:27:44OK. Let's cut your links.
0:27:47 > 0:27:52Five remaining, and five remaining on Rachel and Andy's pod.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55Your question will be asking...
0:27:58 > 0:27:59How many links?
0:27:59 > 0:28:02- I don't know about you but I think at this stage...- I think I'd...
0:28:02 > 0:28:03I think I'd go for two links.
0:28:03 > 0:28:07I would definitely not go for any more than that. Two links, please.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09- Yeah.- For two links...
0:28:30 > 0:28:33- Any ideas?- I was kind of hoping you might.- Oh, OK.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36The only one I can think of that started back then was
0:28:36 > 0:28:39Tony Blackburn but I don't know if he's received an honorary knighthood.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- That's my only...- Well, to be honest...- Running out of time.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- Tony Blackburn, please. - Am I Tony Blackburn?
0:28:47 > 0:28:48No.
0:28:50 > 0:28:55Steven and Adam, you now have a chance to nick a link.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57You will see the remaining clue
0:28:57 > 0:29:00for a chance to cut a link from your cash pod.
0:29:00 > 0:29:01And here it is.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10- I think it's Terry Wogan.- Yeah?
0:29:10 > 0:29:12- Yes.- Am I Sir Terry Wogan?
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Right, you've nicked a link. Let's cut it.
0:29:24 > 0:29:29And it is now your go. Your question will be...
0:29:32 > 0:29:33How many links?
0:29:33 > 0:29:37I think now that we're slightly ahead, if we go with two links,
0:29:37 > 0:29:39it puts the pressure on them to go for something a bit more aggressive.
0:29:39 > 0:29:43- What do you think?- I agree. I think it's a wise strategy.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47- So you're going for two links? - We are indeed.- Yes, please.- OK.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49For two links, who am I? Here are your clues.
0:30:07 > 0:30:11OK, well, it's obviously a designer, OK? So let's just name a couple of...
0:30:11 > 0:30:13It's not Chanel. It's, er...
0:30:15 > 0:30:18- It's not Chanel.- Make a guess. Go. - Yves Saint Laurent.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Am I Yves Saint Laurent?
0:30:24 > 0:30:26No.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Rachel and Andy, you have a chance to nick a link.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Here is the remaining clue.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41- Well, we needed that last clue, didn't we?- Chanel?
0:30:41 > 0:30:44- Are you happy with Coco Chanel? - Yep.- We'll go...
0:30:44 > 0:30:48- Coco Chanel, please. - Am I Coco Chanel?
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Oui, c'est bon!
0:30:58 > 0:31:01- Steven, you said Chanel, didn't you, at one point?- I did.
0:31:01 > 0:31:06- Can I change my answer now? - No. OK.- Worth a try.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10Rachel and Andy, let's cut the link you nicked.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16It's now your go. Your question will be...
0:31:19 > 0:31:22- How many links?- Er... - Two links, please.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26For two links, what am I? Here are your clues.
0:31:45 > 0:31:50- I have no idea. I'm sorry.- I think... I've a feeling THEY might know.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51Er...
0:31:54 > 0:31:55Guess!
0:31:57 > 0:32:01- No?- No, sorry. - We just don't know, I'm sorry.- No.
0:32:01 > 0:32:06Right, Steven and Adam, you now have a chance to nick a link.
0:32:06 > 0:32:09Here is the remaining clue.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17- Stormont, Mark. - Steven's very clear on that.
0:32:17 > 0:32:19Am I Stormont?
0:32:27 > 0:32:30Let's cut the link you nicked.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35Steven and Adam now have the advantage with only three links.
0:32:35 > 0:32:39And it is now your go. Your question will be...
0:32:43 > 0:32:46- How many links?- If we stick with the two, it only leaves one there,
0:32:46 > 0:32:51- which means they would almost be forced to go for four, perhaps.- OK.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54So let's stick with the two links, please, Mark.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57For two links, here are your clues. What am I?
0:33:14 > 0:33:19Er, flocks - it's birds. Lots of thousands of birds.
0:33:19 > 0:33:23Flamingos is the one that comes to mind here for me. Flamingos.
0:33:25 > 0:33:27Am I flamingos?
0:33:34 > 0:33:36The remaining clue would have been...
0:33:41 > 0:33:46Marvellous. Right, two links. Let's remove those...
0:33:48 > 0:33:51..leaving you one on 1,750.
0:33:51 > 0:33:56Game passing to Rachel and Andy. Your question will be...
0:34:01 > 0:34:03Rachel and Andy, how many links?
0:34:03 > 0:34:05- They're going to get it in one, aren't they?- Yeah.
0:34:05 > 0:34:09- We'll have to go with four. - It's all or nothing!
0:34:09 > 0:34:10Four links. Give it a go.
0:34:10 > 0:34:14You're going to take a big risk and go for four links
0:34:14 > 0:34:17but that means you will only get one clue.
0:34:19 > 0:34:20Here is your clue.
0:34:30 > 0:34:34- Do you know who was in The Boyfriend?- No. Do you?
0:34:34 > 0:34:37- No.- That's no help. - Doesn't get off to a great start.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40- Two Golden Globe awards... - Was it Christian Bale?
0:34:42 > 0:34:44- Or Christian O'Connell? - I don't know. Is he...
0:34:44 > 0:34:47- Has he won Golden Globe awards? - I don't know.
0:34:47 > 0:34:52- Christian Bale or O'Connell. One of those two.- Answer, please.
0:34:52 > 0:34:55- Christian O'Connell. - Christian O'Connell, then.
0:34:55 > 0:34:57Am I Christian O'Connell?
0:35:01 > 0:35:04No. I'm not.
0:35:04 > 0:35:09Steven and Adam, you now have the chance to nick a link.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12Here are the remaining clues.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30OK. If you get this,
0:35:30 > 0:35:34you will take £1,750 through to the final round.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39- I need an answer.- Oh, sorry!- Sorry.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42LAUGHTER
0:35:42 > 0:35:44I mean, telepathy - no.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47It's someone even more svelte than me - Twiggy, the model.
0:35:47 > 0:35:49Am I Twiggy?
0:35:55 > 0:35:57I wouldn't even have got that.
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Let's cut the final link.
0:36:10 > 0:36:12Well done, Steven and Adam.
0:36:12 > 0:36:18You're through to the final round and that £1,750 goes with you.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20Rachel, Andy, ooh!
0:36:20 > 0:36:23I thought there was a glimmer of you thinking, "Oh, we know what that is," but no.
0:36:23 > 0:36:26It was more of, "Wow, we were really wrong!"
0:36:27 > 0:36:31And we got the wrong gender, so...
0:36:31 > 0:36:33Big risk, going for four links.
0:36:33 > 0:36:37Unfortunately, we're going to say goodbye but thanks so much
0:36:37 > 0:36:40- for playing The Link.- Thank you.
0:36:40 > 0:36:43APPLAUSE
0:36:43 > 0:36:47Steven and Adam, you are today's finalists.
0:36:47 > 0:36:51You've brought through £1,750.
0:36:51 > 0:36:53And we're adding £2,000 to that...
0:36:55 > 0:37:00..making your maximum win today £3,750.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06Right, what are you going to do with it if you win it?
0:37:06 > 0:37:11I'm a big wrestling fan and Daddy sort of gets dragged along to stuff.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15So we would love to go to America and see WrestleMania,
0:37:15 > 0:37:17- which is like their Super Bowl or World Cup.- Really?
0:37:17 > 0:37:19My wife might have other ideas.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21She's got a bathroom that needs done, so...
0:37:21 > 0:37:25- No, we're not spending it on that. - Well, perhaps not tell her, eh?
0:37:25 > 0:37:30So, wrestling, here you come, IF you can take that money home.
0:37:30 > 0:37:36You have just 60 seconds to find six super-links.
0:37:36 > 0:37:39At each level, you'll need to identify the link
0:37:39 > 0:37:41between ten one-word clues.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43As soon as you think you know the answer,
0:37:43 > 0:37:47buzz in and we'll stop the clock. If you're right,
0:37:47 > 0:37:49you can take that money home.
0:37:49 > 0:37:52But choose to play on and your team-mate will tackle
0:37:52 > 0:37:57the next super-link. But if you're wrong, play stays with you.
0:37:58 > 0:38:01We will restart the clock and you'll face a new set of clues.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06Run out of time and you'll leave empty of hand.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Who's going to play first?
0:38:08 > 0:38:10- I am.- Steven, you're on your own.
0:38:10 > 0:38:13The clock will start when you see the first clue.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Cats!

0:38:38 > 0:38:42- Oh, no!- No!- Butterflies, butterflies.

0:39:25 > 0:39:30Steven and Adam, with 38 seconds left, you have a choice.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33You can take that money and go or you can play on.
0:39:33 > 0:39:36- No, I think we'll play on.- OK.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39Adam, your turn now.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:42:31 > 0:42:35but you're out of time and so you're leaving with nothing.
