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

0:00:280:00:31

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

0:00:310:00:34

Let's see who's feeling dashing and daring and dying to do it.

0:00:340:00:39

I'm Rachel. I'm from Kingston-upon-Thames.

0:00:430:00:46

I'm studying for a PhD in history and I lecture in IT

0:00:460:00:48

-and this is my friend.

-I'm Andy.

0:00:480:00:50

I'm from St Albans in Hertfordshire

0:00:500:00:52

and I work as a data analyst for the football industry.

0:00:520:00:55

APPLAUSE

0:00:550:00:59

And the link is you're friends.

0:00:590:01:02

Rachel, you're going to be a doctor.

0:01:020:01:03

I am, but not a real one, as my father always tells me.

0:01:030:01:06

-Does he really?

-Yes.

-And, Andy, data analysis for the football industry.

0:01:060:01:11

My job is to measure the number of people that are playing football

0:01:110:01:14

from all levels, from the grass roots up to the professional game...

0:01:140:01:17

-OK.

-..and also to see how many people we can get playing football

0:01:170:01:20

as well as coaching and refereeing and so forth.

0:01:200:01:22

-That's brilliant. Rachel and Andy, welcome to The Link.

-Thank you.

0:01:220:01:26

-Steven and Adam, please introduce yourselves.

-I'm Steven.

0:01:260:01:30

I'm a senior buyer.

0:01:300:01:31

I'm from Ballykelly, Northern Ireland, and this is my son.

0:01:310:01:34

I'm Adam.

0:01:340:01:35

I'm a student teacher and I'm also from Ballykelly in Northern Ireland.

0:01:350:01:39

APPLAUSE

0:01:390:01:42

And the link is you're father and son.

0:01:420:01:44

Fathers and sons playing quizzes.

0:01:440:01:47

Will there be any conflict?

0:01:470:01:49

We go in pub quizzes together regularly and we're constantly

0:01:490:01:52

fighting, not just us two, but the rest of the family as well.

0:01:520:01:55

What, physically?

0:01:550:01:56

LAUGHTER

0:01:560:01:58

Steven and Adam, welcome to The Link.

0:01:580:02:01

-Melissa and Alan, please introduce yourselves.

-I'm Melissa.

0:02:010:02:05

I'm from Storrington in West Sussex and I'm a PA with the RSPCA

0:02:050:02:09

-and this is my friend.

-I'm Alan.

0:02:090:02:11

I'm from Horsham and I'm a videographer for the RSPCA.

0:02:110:02:15

APPLAUSE

0:02:150:02:17

-And the link is you're colleagues.

-Yes.

-Yeah, we met through work, yeah.

0:02:170:02:21

Can I ask you what a videographer means?

0:02:210:02:23

It just means making videos for the charity,

0:02:230:02:26

sort of online videos, internal videos, that sort of thing.

0:02:260:02:29

-About animals?

-About animals, about the work of the RSPCA, yeah.

0:02:290:02:33

OK, good luck, Melissa and Alan.

0:02:330:02:35

Welcome. Welcome, all.

0:02:350:02:37

Now, pay attention.

0:02:370:02:39

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

0:02:390:02:46

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

0:02:460:02:49

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

0:02:490:02:52

until they drop into your bank.

0:02:520:02:54

And here's how you cut the links.

0:02:540:02:57

I'm going to ask you four questions

0:02:570:03:00

and you have to work out what links the answers.

0:03:000:03:03

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

0:03:030:03:07

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

0:03:070:03:09

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

0:03:090:03:14

Then two. Then one.

0:03:140:03:17

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

0:03:170:03:19

-ALL: Magazines.

-Magazines. They all chorused. Correct.

0:03:190:03:24

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

0:03:240:03:27

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

0:03:270:03:31

Let's play The Link.

0:03:310:03:33

APPLAUSE

0:03:330:03:36

Here's the first question for four links.

0:03:360:03:40

In Cockney rhyming slang, curry is...

0:03:400:03:43

-Steven.

-Murray.

0:03:430:03:46

..ruby what? Murray.

0:03:460:03:48

There's your first clue. What's the link, Steven and Adam?

0:03:480:03:53

-Tennis?

-Could be tennis. Wimbledon winners?

0:03:530:03:57

-Could be mints.

-Murray Mints.

-Different types of mints.

0:03:570:04:00

I think we should go for mints.

0:04:000:04:02

We'll go for mints.

0:04:020:04:04

Is the answer mints?

0:04:040:04:06

No.

0:04:080:04:10

Everyone's back in play. Stand by.

0:04:100:04:12

Your next question for three links.

0:04:120:04:14

In which city would you find the Tyne Bridge?

0:04:140:04:18

-Steven.

-Newcastle.

0:04:180:04:20

Newcastle is right.

0:04:200:04:22

Murray, Newcastle. What's the link?

0:04:220:04:25

-Players? Is there any Murrays anywhere?

-No.

0:04:250:04:28

Football grounds. Murrayfield.

0:04:280:04:31

Newcastle. I don't know.

0:04:310:04:33

Give me an answer...

0:04:330:04:36

otherwise you are...

0:04:360:04:38

out of time.

0:04:380:04:40

-Make a guess.

-Sorry.

0:04:400:04:42

OK, everyone's back in play.

0:04:420:04:44

For two links, which flightless bird is the second largest living...

0:04:440:04:49

-Steven.

-Ostrich.

0:04:490:04:52

..bird on Earth. Incorrect.

0:04:520:04:55

-Alan.

-Emu?

0:04:550:04:58

Emu is correct.

0:04:580:04:59

Murray, Newcastle, Emu. Melissa and Alan, what's the link?

0:05:010:05:05

No, I've no idea with emu. All I can think of...

0:05:050:05:08

The only emus in my head is the bird.

0:05:080:05:10

-Something to do with Australia?

-Australia, yes, let's go for that.

0:05:100:05:13

-Let's go for Australia.

-Australia.

-You're going for Australia.

-Yeah.

0:05:130:05:16

Is the link Australia?

0:05:160:05:18

Very good.

0:05:190:05:22

APPLAUSE

0:05:220:05:24

And the missing clue was Oz.

0:05:240:05:28

Murray is a river in Australia. Newcastle, a city.

0:05:280:05:31

Emu, a flightless native bird

0:05:310:05:33

and Oz, their nickname.

0:05:330:05:36

You got that on the third clue, which means you can cut two links.

0:05:360:05:40

What are you going to do with them?

0:05:400:05:42

If we go for the 300, at least we've got something in the bank.

0:05:420:05:45

I'm quite keen to start off with, to put something in the bank.

0:05:450:05:48

-We're going to cut the two links from the 300.

-We'll do that.

0:05:480:05:52

There it goes.

0:05:570:05:59

APPLAUSE

0:05:590:06:03

Right, which means, Melissa and Alan, you've got £300.

0:06:030:06:06

Steve and Adam, nothing.

0:06:060:06:09

Rachel and Andy, nothing.

0:06:090:06:11

So, for four links.

0:06:110:06:14

What is the first name of Steve Carell's

0:06:160:06:18

character in the Anchorman movies?

0:06:180:06:21

-Rachel.

-Brick.

0:06:210:06:23

Brick is correct.

0:06:230:06:25

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

0:06:250:06:28

You've got brick as in Brick Lane.

0:06:280:06:31

-A famous street in London.

-True.

0:06:310:06:33

-London streets. Streets of London.

-OK, is it streets of London?

0:06:330:06:37

No, it's not.

0:06:400:06:42

You're all back in play.

0:06:420:06:44

For three links, in the Catholic Church,

0:06:440:06:47

what title do you hold if you're addressed as Your Eminence?

0:06:470:06:53

-Rachel.

-Cardinal?

0:06:530:06:54

Cardinal is correct.

0:06:540:06:57

Brick. Cardinal. What's the link?

0:06:570:07:00

I reckon cardinal, as a bird, is red.

0:07:000:07:03

Bricks are red. Maybe they're like red brick, red cardinals?

0:07:030:07:07

-OK, they're all reds.

-Think so? Red things, we'll say.

0:07:070:07:11

OK, is the link red?

0:07:110:07:15

APPLAUSE

0:07:160:07:21

OK, the other clues were...

0:07:210:07:25

pillar box and scarlet.

0:07:250:07:27

With your three links, how would you like to use them?

0:07:270:07:30

-Get the 500 quid?

-I think we're going to go for the £500,

0:07:300:07:33

just to have something in the bank.

0:07:330:07:34

OK, let's cut that...

0:07:340:07:37

and release £500 into your bank.

0:07:370:07:41

APPLAUSE

0:07:430:07:47

Which means Rachel and Andy have got £500. Steven and Adam haven't.

0:07:470:07:53

Melissa and Alan have got £300.

0:07:530:07:56

So, with 3,875 left on the screen, it's all to play for.

0:07:560:08:01

OK, stand by for four links.

0:08:010:08:03

H20 is the chemical formula...

0:08:050:08:08

-Andy.

-Water.

0:08:080:08:10

H20 is the chemical formula for what common compound? Water.

0:08:100:08:16

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

0:08:170:08:19

-Pistol.

-Water pistol.

0:08:190:08:22

-Fall.

-Waterfall.

0:08:220:08:25

-Let's go for fall.

-OK, things before fall.

-Words that go with fall.

0:08:250:08:30

Is fall the link?

0:08:300:08:33

No.

0:08:350:08:37

Everyone's back in play for three links.

0:08:370:08:41

In 2012, Nicki Minaj had a UK top ten hit with

0:08:410:08:46

"Pound The" what?

0:08:460:08:48

Worth a go.

0:08:500:08:53

No.

0:08:530:08:55

The correct answer was alarm.

0:08:550:08:59

Water, alarm. None of you have a chance to guess the link.

0:08:590:09:04

We move on. Everyone back in play for two links.

0:09:040:09:09

Which bird of the Cuculidae family...

0:09:090:09:12

-Alan.

-Cuckoo?

0:09:120:09:14

0:09:140:09:17

in the nests of other birds?

0:09:170:09:18

Cuckoo. Correct.

0:09:180:09:20

Water, alarm, cuckoo. The link?

0:09:220:09:26

-I'm thinking it's clocks.

-That's the only thing...

0:09:260:09:28

Water clock, alarm clock and cuckoo clock.

0:09:280:09:31

Let's go for clock, please.

0:09:310:09:34

Is the link clock?

0:09:340:09:37

APPLAUSE

0:09:380:09:41

Very good.

0:09:410:09:43

The remaining clue would have been candle.

0:09:430:09:47

So how do you want to use those two links?

0:09:470:09:51

Well, the only one we can get off in its entirety is 125.

0:09:510:09:55

-Yes, let's do that then.

-If we take the 125 and one from 2,000.

0:09:550:09:59

-Yeah, please.

-OK, so cut the link on the 125.

0:09:590:10:03

And you're going to take one from 2,000.

0:10:090:10:12

Rachel and Andy are on 500. Steven and Adam yet to, um, you know...

0:10:140:10:19

LAUGHTER

0:10:190:10:20

..is commonly used to measure human body weight. Stone.

0:10:350:10:38

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

0:10:400:10:43

Um, there's Sharon Stone. It could be famous Sharons. You never know.

0:10:430:10:47

Excellent.

0:10:470:10:48

It could be again something before or after another word.

0:10:480:10:51

-Wall. Stonewall.

-Stonewall.

0:10:510:10:54

-Shall we go with wall?

-Types of walls.

0:10:540:10:57

Is it types of walls?

0:10:570:10:59

No.

0:11:000:11:02

OK, everyone's back in play.

0:11:020:11:04

Your next question for three links.

0:11:040:11:07

Which word for an item of bed linen can also precede music to mean...

0:11:070:11:12

-Alan.

-Sheet?

0:11:120:11:15

..to mean printed music, usually on unbound pages of paper.

0:11:150:11:19

Sheet is correct.

0:11:190:11:22

Stone, sheet. What's the link?

0:11:220:11:24

-I thought scissor-paper-stone, but that's nothing to do with it.

-No.

0:11:240:11:27

-It's not flagstones or anything like that.

-Flagstone. Flag sheet? No.

0:11:270:11:32

-Um, shall we go flag?

-Yeah, we'll just go for flag.

0:11:320:11:36

-You're going to go for flag.

-Yeah.

0:11:360:11:38

Is the link flag?

0:11:380:11:40

-No.

-No, it's not.

0:11:410:11:46

All back in play. Stand by. Two links.

0:11:460:11:49

Complete the title of the children's book written by Julia Donaldson,

0:11:490:11:53

Room On The...what?

0:11:530:11:56

No. The answer is broom.

0:11:580:12:01

Stone, sheet, broom.

0:12:010:12:04

None of you have a chance to guess the link. We move on.

0:12:040:12:08

For one link, which sporting event was held in Lillehammer in 1994...

Stone, sheet, broom, Winter Olympics.

0:12:240:12:27

-What's the link?

-Would it be curling?

-I think it's curling.

0:12:270:12:31

You use the broom to brush it there.

0:12:310:12:33

The stone is what they push down there.

0:12:330:12:35

It's at the Winter Olympics.

0:12:350:12:36

I haven't a clue what sheet is, but I think it's curling.

0:12:360:12:38

OK, is it curling?

0:12:380:12:41

APPLAUSE

0:12:420:12:47

The sheet is the playing area. OK, how do you want to use your link?

0:12:470:12:52

I think the best thing to do would be to take it off the highest one.

0:12:520:12:56

-You don't want to just hand money to someone...

-Yeah.

0:12:560:12:58

..so let's take it off that.

0:12:580:13:00

-We're going to win the 2,000 anyway.

-Of course, of course.

0:13:000:13:02

-LAUGHTER

-Good talk. Fighting talk.

0:13:020:13:04

-So how are you going to cut?

-Take it off the 2,000, please.

0:13:040:13:07

You're going to cut one from the 2,000.

0:13:070:13:11

There it goes.

0:13:110:13:12

Everyone back in play for four links.

0:13:170:13:22

-Melissa.

-The Beach.

0:13:220:13:24

..directed by Danny Boyle. The Beach is correct.

0:13:240:13:28

The Beach. Your first clue. What's the link?

0:13:280:13:32

Um, things by the seaside?

0:13:320:13:34

Could it be something that basic?

0:13:340:13:36

-The seaside.

-Good.

-Shall we say that?

-Sure.

0:13:360:13:40

Is the seaside the link?

0:13:400:13:43

No.

0:13:430:13:45

You're all back in play. Stand by for three links, your next question.

Noepe is the native American name for which island resort

0:14:010:14:03

Correct.

0:14:030:14:05

The Beach. Martha's Vineyard. What's the link?

0:14:050:14:09

Holiday destinations is the only thing

0:14:090:14:11

I can think that links those two together.

0:14:110:14:15

Shall we go for holiday? Holiday destinations?

0:14:150:14:18

Is the link holiday destinations?

0:14:180:14:22

No.

0:14:220:14:24

Everyone's back in play. Stand by for two links.

0:14:310:14:35

Roy Scheider.

0:14:350:14:37

We'll accept that. Roy Scheider is right.

0:14:370:14:40

The beach, Martha's Vineyard, Roy Scheider. What's the link?

0:14:420:14:46

-So you reckon it's Jaws?

0:14:500:14:54

-I'm guessing Jaws.

-OK, let's lock it in.

-Yeah. Jaws.

0:14:540:14:59

Is the link Jaws?

0:14:590:15:01

APPLAUSE

0:15:030:15:06

Good work.

0:15:060:15:08

The remaining clue would have been shark.

0:15:080:15:11

LAUGHTER

0:15:110:15:13

So, you've got two links. How are you going to use them?

0:15:130:15:17

I've already predicted we're about to win the 2,000

0:15:170:15:19

so I think we should take it off.

0:15:190:15:21

-A prophecy!

-Yes, self-fulfilling prophecy. Let's go for it.

0:15:210:15:24

All right, in order to fulfil the prophecy,

0:15:240:15:26

Steven and Adam are taking two links from £2,000.

0:15:260:15:30

-Death or glory.

-Yeah, good work.

0:15:330:15:36

Right, everyone back in play for four links.

0:15:360:15:40

Sidecar, Sea Breeze and Singapore Sling are varieties...

0:15:420:15:47

-Melissa.

-Cocktails.

0:15:470:15:49

..are varieties of which type of mixed drink?

0:15:490:15:52

Cocktail, correct.

0:15:520:15:54

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

0:15:540:15:57

First thing that springs to mind, not that I like the film,

0:15:570:16:00

-but Tom Cruise films?

-Yeah.

0:16:000:16:01

That is the first thing that comes to mind for me.

0:16:010:16:04

The first thing that comes to mind for Melissa and Alan is Tom Cruise.

0:16:040:16:08

-Tom Cruise.

-Is the link Tom Cruise?

0:16:080:16:11

Oh.

0:16:140:16:15

I hope Tom's watching.

0:16:150:16:17

LAUGHTER

0:16:170:16:18

Right, everyone back in play for three links.

0:16:180:16:22

The name of which breakfast item is the title of a childhood memoir

0:16:220:16:27

0:16:270:16:30

-Rachel.

-Toast.

-Toast...

0:16:310:16:35

is correct.

0:16:350:16:37

0:16:370:16:40

-Oh, prawn!

-What?

0:16:400:16:42

Prawn cocktail, prawn toast.

0:16:420:16:44

-There's such a thing as prawn toast?

-Yes.

-Let's go with it.

0:16:440:16:48

-You can tell me. Tell me, tell me.

-Prawn.

-Prawn.

0:16:480:16:51

Is the link prawn?

0:16:510:16:53

APPLAUSE

0:16:550:17:00

It was like the clouds parting. You just went, "Prawn!"

0:17:020:17:05

-I had an epiphany.

-Brilliant. So, the remaining clues would have been...

0:17:050:17:09

cracker and sandwich.

0:17:090:17:13

So you've got three links. How do you want to use them?

0:17:130:17:17

-I wonder what we'll do here?

-Sorry. Sorry, Steve.

0:17:170:17:20

We don't want to ruin your prophecy.

0:17:200:17:23

We'll take two off the 2,000 for definite.

0:17:230:17:25

-And take one off the 1,000?

-Perfect. One off the 1,000.

0:17:250:17:28

They're going to take two off the 2,000.

0:17:300:17:33

APPLAUSE

0:17:390:17:43

And one off the 1,000.

0:17:440:17:47

Right, Rachel and Andy have 2,500

0:17:480:17:52

so they ARE going through to the next round.

0:17:520:17:54

Melissa and Alan on 425.

0:17:540:17:57

Steven and Adam need to buck up!

0:17:570:17:59

LAUGHTER

0:17:590:18:01

However, there's £1,750 left on the screen

0:18:010:18:05

so that's entirely possible.

0:18:050:18:08

OK, everyone back in play for four links.

0:18:080:18:11

In 2003, Justin Timberlake had a UK top two hit with Rock Your...

0:18:130:18:19

-Andy.

-Body.

-Yes, body.

0:18:210:18:24

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

0:18:240:18:26

Body snatchers? That's not going to be right, is it?

0:18:260:18:31

-Body...snatchers!

-Go for it.

-No way is that right.

-Snatchers.

0:18:310:18:35

LAUGHTER

0:18:350:18:37

All right then. Is the link snatchers?

0:18:370:18:41

That's surprising.

0:18:410:18:43

Funnily enough, it isn't(!)

0:18:430:18:46

No, you're wrong. Everyone's back in play.

0:18:460:18:50

For three links, the Emperor Ming

0:18:500:18:53

and Prince Vultan were characters in the 1980s film...

0:18:530:18:57

-Alan.

-Flash Gordon.

0:18:570:18:58

..what Gordon? Yes. The answer, of course, is Flash.

0:18:580:19:03

Body. Flash. What's the link?

0:19:030:19:06

-Light body. Flashlight. Light body? Is there a light body?

-Lightning.

0:19:060:19:10

-Lightning flash.

-Lights, let's go for lights.

0:19:100:19:14

-Yeah.

-Is the link lights?

0:19:140:19:17

No.

0:19:180:19:20

Everyone back in play for two links.

0:19:200:19:23

The title of the 2010 Martin Scorsese film starring

0:19:230:19:27

Leonardo DiCaprio is what Island?

0:19:270:19:31

-Melissa.

-Shutter Island.

0:19:330:19:35

Is correct.

0:19:350:19:37

Body. Flash. Shutter. What's the link?

0:19:380:19:41

-I would say camera.

-What's the body?

-Body of a camera, yeah.

-OK, yeah.

0:19:410:19:46

-I trust you.

-We'll go with camera.

0:19:460:19:48

Is the link camera?

0:19:480:19:50

APPLAUSE

0:19:520:19:54

Parts of a camera

0:19:560:19:58

and the missing clue was lens.

0:19:580:20:01

Body, flash, shutter, lens.

0:20:010:20:03

What are you going to do with your two links?

0:20:030:20:06

-Two from the 750, please.

-Let's cut those links.

0:20:060:20:09

OK. Everyone back in play. For four links...

0:20:110:20:16

The song Can You Feel The Love Tonight features in... Alan?

0:20:180:20:22

-The Lion King?

-..which animated Disney film?

0:20:220:20:25

-Pfft...

-Music was written by Elton John?

0:20:300:20:34

-Yeah.

-Er...

0:20:340:20:35

It's a theatre production. It's on the stage.

0:20:350:20:39

In the theatre at the moment, yeah. Elton John.

0:20:390:20:42

-Do you want to go Elton John?

-Yeah.

-We'll go Elton John, please.

0:20:420:20:46

Is the link Elton John?

0:20:460:20:48

-Oh!

-No. Everyone back in play. Stand by.

0:20:500:20:54

Your next question, for three links...

0:20:540:20:57

Which two-word phrase uses a type of rodent

0:20:570:21:00

to describe the human competition for power or money?

0:21:000:21:04

-Steven?

-Rat race?

-Correct.

0:21:060:21:08

-What's the link?

-Oh! I know, I know.

0:21:120:21:14

-Who is it?

-Rowan Atkinson.

0:21:140:21:17

He was... He was... He was Zazu. Rowan Atkinson was Zazu.

0:21:170:21:21

-And he was in Rat Race.

-Films starring Rowan Atkinson.

0:21:210:21:24

Is it films starring Rowan Atkinson?

0:21:240:21:27

-Yes!

-We'll accept that.

0:21:280:21:31

The missing clues were...

0:21:340:21:36

Rowan Atkinson. He voiced Zazu, the bird in The Lion King,

0:21:390:21:43

starred in Rat Race,

0:21:430:21:44

played Mr Bean and, of course,

0:21:440:21:47

will for ever be Edmund Blackadder.

0:21:470:21:50

With your three links, how would you like to use them?

0:21:500:21:53

We need to bank money.

0:21:530:21:55

So we need two off the 750 and one off the 1,000.

0:21:550:21:58

-Let's do it.

-Yes.

-All right, let's take one off the 1,000...

0:21:580:22:02

..and two off the 750...

0:22:040:22:05

..stylishly depositing that in your bank.

0:22:080:22:11

Right!

0:22:150:22:17

Steven and Adam, finally some money in the bank.

0:22:190:22:22

The fightback has begun. Everyone back in play. For four links...

0:22:220:22:27

ABBA won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1974 with... Andy?

0:22:280:22:34

Waterloo?

0:22:340:22:35

..with which song? Waterloo - correct.

0:22:350:22:39

First clue. What's the link?

0:22:390:22:41

-Underground stations.

-Or Underground lines?

0:22:410:22:44

Shall we go with Underground stations?

0:22:440:22:46

-Underground stations, please.

-Underground stations.

0:22:460:22:49

Is it Underground stations?

0:22:490:22:51

-No.

-Sorry!

-Your next question, for three links...

0:22:530:22:58

What is the name of Chelsea Football Club's...

0:22:580:23:01

-Steven.

-Stamford Bridge.

-..home ground is Stamford Bridge.

0:23:030:23:07

Waterloo, Stamford Bridge. What's the link?

0:23:090:23:12

I think they're both battles.

0:23:120:23:13

The Battle of Stamford Bridge was the one that was fought before the Battle of Hastings.

0:23:130:23:18

The Battle of Waterloo.

0:23:180:23:20

-It's got to be battles.

-Battles?

-Battles, please.

0:23:200:23:22

Is the link battles?

0:23:220:23:24

The remaining clues were...

0:23:320:23:34

Well done, Dad! Good shot.

0:23:370:23:40

What are you going to do with your three links?

0:23:400:23:43

-Take it off the 1,000, please.

-Right, let's do that.

0:23:430:23:46

-And there it goes!

-APPLAUSE

0:23:520:23:55

Which means Rachel and Andy have £2,500 and you are through.

0:24:000:24:05

Steven and Adam, £1,750 - you're through to the next round.

0:24:060:24:10

Melissa and Alan, with only £425,

0:24:100:24:14

we're saying goodbye to you.

0:24:140:24:16

-It's been good fun.

-Yeah, thank you.

0:24:160:24:18

It was, as they say, neck and neck, although nobody was racing.

0:24:180:24:23

-Melissa and Alan, thanks very much.

-Thank you. Thank you very much.

0:24:230:24:26

-Good luck, everybody.

-Thank you.

0:24:260:24:28

Rachel and Andy, Steven and Adam, you're still in the game.

0:24:320:24:37

Rachel and Andy, you banked £2,500.

0:24:370:24:41

Steven and Adam, you banked £1,750.

0:24:410:24:46

That money is now in these two cash pods, each held by seven links.

0:24:460:24:52

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

0:24:520:24:56

takes their money through to the final round.

0:24:560:25:00

The other team will be out.

0:25:000:25:03

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

0:25:030:25:06

cos you decide how many links you want to cut.

0:25:060:25:10

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

0:25:100:25:13

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

0:25:130:25:17

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

0:25:170:25:21

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

0:25:210:25:25

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

0:25:250:25:28

through to this round - and that is Rachel and Andy.

0:25:280:25:31

The first question is asking...

0:25:350:25:37

How many links?

0:25:400:25:41

I think it's a good strategy to get off to a quite good start,

0:25:410:25:44

not being too aggressive at this stage.

0:25:440:25:46

-Shall we go for two links?

-It's like you read my mind.

-Yeah?

0:25:460:25:50

-We'll go for two links, please.

-Two links. Here are your clues.

0:25:500:25:54

-Didn't he do Grange Hill?

-Phil Redmond?

0:26:110:26:14

I don't have anything to offer so if you want to go with Grange Hill,

0:26:140:26:17

that's fine. We'll do it. We've got no better offer.

0:26:170:26:19

-No pressure(!)

-Grange Hill.

-Yeah.

0:26:190:26:22

Am I Grange Hill?

0:26:220:26:25

Well done!

0:26:260:26:27

The last clue would have been...

0:26:300:26:32

Let's cut those links.

0:26:370:26:39

Steven and Adam, your question is asking...

0:26:430:26:47

-How many links?

-I like their strategy.

-I do.

0:26:500:26:52

I think err on the cautious side and copy them.

0:26:520:26:55

I think that's what we're going to do. Two links.

0:26:550:26:57

You're going for two links. For two links, here are your clues.

0:26:570:26:59

I think it's... I think it's Hong Kong.

0:27:160:27:18

-Well, you seem pretty confident.

-You have the junks in Hong Kong.

0:27:180:27:23

-Shall we go for it?

-OK. Go ahead.

-We'll try Hong Kong.

0:27:230:27:27

Am I Hong Kong?

0:27:270:27:29

Yes!

0:27:320:27:34

The last clue would have been...

0:27:350:27:37

OK. Let's cut your links.

0:27:420:27:44

Five remaining, and five remaining on Rachel and Andy's pod.

0:27:470:27:52

Your question will be asking...

0:27:520:27:55

How many links?

0:27:580:27:59

-I don't know about you but I think at this stage...

-I think I'd...

0:27:590:28:02

I think I'd go for two links.

0:28:020:28:03

I would definitely not go for any more than that. Two links, please.

0:28:030:28:07

-Yeah.

-For two links...

0:28:070:28:09

-Any ideas?

-I was kind of hoping you might.

-Oh, OK.

0:28:300:28:33

The only one I can think of that started back then was

0:28:330:28:36

Tony Blackburn but I don't know if he's received an honorary knighthood.

0:28:360:28:39

-That's my only...

-Well, to be honest...

-Running out of time.

0:28:390:28:42

-Tony Blackburn, please.

-Am I Tony Blackburn?

0:28:420:28:45

No.

0:28:470:28:48

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

0:28:500:28:55

You will see the remaining clue

0:28:550:28:57

for a chance to cut a link from your cash pod.

0:28:570:29:00

And here it is.

0:29:000:29:01

-I think it's Terry Wogan.

-Yeah?

0:29:070:29:10

-Yes.

-Am I Sir Terry Wogan?

0:29:100:29:12

Right, you've nicked a link. Let's cut it.

0:29:190:29:22

And it is now your go. Your question will be...

0:29:240:29:29

How many links?

0:29:320:29:33

I think now that we're slightly ahead, if we go with two links,

0:29:330:29:37

it puts the pressure on them to go for something a bit more aggressive.

0:29:370:29:39

-What do you think?

-I agree. I think it's a wise strategy.

0:29:390:29:43

-So you're going for two links?

-We are indeed.

-Yes, please.

-OK.

0:29:430:29:47

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

0:29:470:29:49

OK, well, it's obviously a designer, OK? So let's just name a couple of...

0:30:070:30:11

It's not Chanel. It's, er...

0:30:110:30:13

-It's not Chanel.

-Make a guess. Go.

-Yves Saint Laurent.

0:30:150:30:18

Am I Yves Saint Laurent?

0:30:200:30:22

No.

0:30:240:30:26

Rachel and Andy, you have a chance to nick a link.

0:30:260:30:29

Here is the remaining clue.

0:30:290:30:31

-Well, we needed that last clue, didn't we?

-Chanel?

0:30:380:30:41

-Are you happy with Coco Chanel?

-Yep.

-We'll go...

0:30:410:30:44

-Coco Chanel, please.

-Am I Coco Chanel?

0:30:440:30:48

Oui, c'est bon!

0:30:530:30:55

-Steven, you said Chanel, didn't you, at one point?

-I did.

0:30:580:31:01

-Can I change my answer now?

-No. OK.

-Worth a try.

0:31:010:31:06

Rachel and Andy, let's cut the link you nicked.

0:31:060:31:10

It's now your go. Your question will be...

0:31:130:31:16

-How many links?

-Er...

-Two links, please.

0:31:190:31:22

For two links, what am I? Here are your clues.

0:31:220:31:26

-I have no idea. I'm sorry.

-I think... I've a feeling THEY might know.

0:31:450:31:50

Er...

0:31:500:31:51

Guess!

0:31:540:31:55

-No?

-No, sorry.

-We just don't know, I'm sorry.

-No.

0:31:570:32:01

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

0:32:010:32:06

Here is the remaining clue.

0:32:060:32:09

-Stormont, Mark.

-Steven's very clear on that.

0:32:130:32:17

Am I Stormont?

0:32:170:32:19

Let's cut the link you nicked.

0:32:270:32:30

Steven and Adam now have the advantage with only three links.

0:32:310:32:35

And it is now your go. Your question will be...

0:32:350:32:39

-How many links?

-If we stick with the two, it only leaves one there,

0:32:430:32:46

-which means they would almost be forced to go for four, perhaps.

-OK.

0:32:460:32:51

So let's stick with the two links, please, Mark.

0:32:510:32:54

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

0:32:540:32:57

Er, flocks - it's birds. Lots of thousands of birds.

0:33:140:33:19

Flamingos is the one that comes to mind here for me. Flamingos.

0:33:190:33:23

Am I flamingos?

0:33:250:33:27

The remaining clue would have been...

0:33:340:33:36

Marvellous. Right, two links. Let's remove those...

0:33:410:33:46

..leaving you one on 1,750.

0:33:480:33:51

Game passing to Rachel and Andy. Your question will be...

0:33:510:33:56

Rachel and Andy, how many links?

0:34:010:34:03

-They're going to get it in one, aren't they?

-Yeah.

0:34:030:34:05

-We'll have to go with four.

-It's all or nothing!

0:34:050:34:09

Four links. Give it a go.

0:34:090:34:10

You're going to take a big risk and go for four links

0:34:100:34:14

but that means you will only get one clue.

0:34:140:34:17

Here is your clue.

0:34:190:34:20

-Do you know who was in The Boyfriend?

-No. Do you?

0:34:300:34:34

-No.

-That's no help.

-Doesn't get off to a great start.

0:34:340:34:37

-Two Golden Globe awards...

-Was it Christian Bale?

0:34:370:34:40

-Or Christian O'Connell?

-I don't know. Is he...

0:34:420:34:44

-Has he won Golden Globe awards?

-I don't know.

0:34:440:34:47

-Christian Bale or O'Connell. One of those two.

-Answer, please.

0:34:470:34:52

-Christian O'Connell.

-Christian O'Connell, then.

0:34:520:34:55

Am I Christian O'Connell?

0:34:550:34:57

No. I'm not.

0:35:010:35:04

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

0:35:040:35:09

Here are the remaining clues.

0:35:090:35:12

OK. If you get this,

0:35:270:35:30

you will take £1,750 through to the final round.

0:35:300:35:34

-I need an answer.

-Oh, sorry!

-Sorry.

0:35:370:35:39

LAUGHTER

0:35:390:35:42

I mean, telepathy - no.

0:35:420:35:44

It's someone even more svelte than me - Twiggy, the model.

0:35:440:35:47

Am I Twiggy?

0:35:470:35:49

I wouldn't even have got that.

0:35:550:35:57

Let's cut the final link.

0:35:590:36:01

Well done, Steven and Adam.

0:36:100:36:12

You're through to the final round and that £1,750 goes with you.

0:36:120:36:18

Rachel, Andy, ooh!

0:36:180:36:20

I thought there was a glimmer of you thinking, "Oh, we know what that is," but no.

0:36:200:36:23

It was more of, "Wow, we were really wrong!"

0:36:230:36:26

And we got the wrong gender, so...

0:36:270:36:31

Big risk, going for four links.

0:36:310:36:33

Unfortunately, we're going to say goodbye but thanks so much

0:36:330:36:37

-for playing The Link.

-Thank you.

0:36:370:36:40

APPLAUSE

0:36:400:36:43

Steven and Adam, you are today's finalists.

0:36:430:36:47

You've brought through £1,750.

0:36:470:36:51

And we're adding £2,000 to that...

0:36:510:36:53

..making your maximum win today £3,750.

0:36:550:37:00

Right, what are you going to do with it if you win it?

0:37:030:37:06

I'm a big wrestling fan and Daddy sort of gets dragged along to stuff.

0:37:060:37:11

So we would love to go to America and see WrestleMania,

0:37:110:37:15

-which is like their Super Bowl or World Cup.

-Really?

0:37:150:37:17

My wife might have other ideas.

0:37:170:37:19

She's got a bathroom that needs done, so...

0:37:190:37:21

-No, we're not spending it on that.

-Well, perhaps not tell her, eh?

0:37:210:37:25

So, wrestling, here you come, IF you can take that money home.

0:37:250:37:30

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

0:37:300:37:36

At each level, you'll need to identify the link

0:37:360:37:39

between ten one-word clues.

0:37:390:37:41

As soon as you think you know the answer,

0:37:410:37:43

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

0:37:430:37:47

you can take that money home.

0:37:470:37:49

But choose to play on and your team-mate will tackle

0:37:490:37:52

the next super-link. But if you're wrong, play stays with you.

0:37:520:37:57

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

0:37:580:38:01

Run out of time and you'll leave empty of hand.

0:38:010:38:06

Who's going to play first?

0:38:060:38:08

-I am.

-Steven, you're on your own.

0:38:080:38:10

The clock will start when you see the first clue.

0:38:100:38:13

Cats!

0:38:310:38:33

-BUZZER

-Sorry. Cats.

0:38:330:38:35

Is the link cats?

0:38:350:38:37

-Oh, no!

-No!

-Butterflies, butterflies.

0:38:380:38:42

Which means play stays with you, Steven,

0:38:420:38:44

and you face a new super-link. 46 seconds left.

0:38:440:38:48

The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:38:480:38:51

-Religions.

-Is the link religions?

0:39:020:39:06

Yes, that is the link. The remaining clues were...

0:39:090:39:13

That puts you on...

0:39:200:39:21

Steven and Adam, with 38 seconds left, you have a choice.

0:39:250:39:30

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

0:39:300:39:33

-No, I think we'll play on.

-OK.

0:39:330:39:36

Adam, your turn now.

0:39:360:39:39

The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:39:390:39:42

Er...

0:40:000:40:02

Types of reaction. Oh! TIME-OUT BUZZER

0:40:030:40:05

Time out. The correct answer was...

0:40:060:40:10

Which means play stays with you, Adam, and you face a new super-link.

0:40:140:40:19

24 seconds remaining. The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:40:200:40:25

Artists.

0:40:430:40:44

Is the link artists?

0:40:460:40:49

-Architects!

-No. It's architects.

0:40:510:40:55

Bad luck. Bad luck.

0:40:550:40:58

Which means, Adam, play stays with you and you face a new super-link.

0:40:580:41:02

11 seconds left. The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:41:020:41:07

Stand by.

0:41:070:41:08

Composers?

0:41:200:41:22

With two seconds remaining, you are asking if the link is composers.

0:41:240:41:31

Is the link composers?

0:41:310:41:33

The link was Alps. The remaining clues were...

0:41:360:41:40

Which means play stays with you, Adam,

0:41:460:41:49

and you face a new super-link with two seconds remaining.

0:41:490:41:54

The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:41:540:41:57

Colours.

0:42:030:42:04

Is the link colours?

0:42:060:42:08

No. The link was Last Of The Summer Wine.

0:42:110:42:16

The remaining clues were...

0:42:160:42:17

Sorry to say this to you

0:42:290:42:31

but you're out of time and so you're leaving with nothing.

0:42:310:42:35

As competitors and as a team, you were great.

0:42:350:42:39

And I'm really sorry that you didn't go away with anything.

0:42:390:42:43

-APPLAUSE

-Thank you.

0:42:430:42:46

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

0:42:480:42:52

all the right connections on The Link.

0:42:520:42:55

See you then. Goodbye.

0:42:550:42:57

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
