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

0:00:180:00:21

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.

0:00:310:00:35

Let's see who's feeling excited and enthusiastically energised.

0:00:350:00:39

I'm Brenda, I'm a retired registrar,

0:00:440:00:46

I come from East Yorkshire and this is my son.

0:00:460:00:50

I'm Davey, I'm a library supervisor and I come from Hull.

0:00:500:00:53

APPLAUSE

0:00:530:00:55

-And the link is you're mother and son.

-That's right.

0:00:560:01:00

You're tall enough to be a policeman, Davey.

0:01:000:01:02

-I used to be a special constable.

-Did you really?

-I did.

-OK.

0:01:020:01:06

-Welcome to The Link.

-Thank you.

-Tim and Al, tell us about yourselves.

0:01:060:01:11

I'm Tim, I'm a sales manager from London and this is my friend.

0:01:110:01:15

I'm Al. I'm a bar manager from London.

0:01:150:01:18

APPLAUSE

0:01:180:01:20

-And the link is you're friends.

-We are, yeah.

-Went to school together.

0:01:200:01:25

Al, what's your favourite drink?

0:01:250:01:27

Well, I actually have a cocktail which I've made called

0:01:270:01:30

-You Can Call Me Al.

-Ah, from the Paul Simon song?

0:01:300:01:34

Very good. Very clever. Watch them.

0:01:340:01:37

-Tim and Al, welcome.

-Thank you very much.

0:01:370:01:40

Amber and Andy, tell us about yourselves.

0:01:400:01:43

I'm Amber, I train wedding planners and I'm from Portishead.

0:01:430:01:46

-This is my husband.

-I'm Andy,

0:01:460:01:49

I run a rock music school and I'm also from Portishead.

0:01:490:01:52

APPLAUSE

0:01:520:01:54

-And the link is you're married.

-We are.

0:01:550:01:58

Apparently, somebody told me, you spend a lot of time together

0:01:580:02:02

and you're always finishing each other's...

0:02:020:02:04

-TOGETHER: Sentences.

-There we go.

0:02:040:02:07

Thank you very much. Amber and Andy, welcome to The Link.

0:02:070:02:11

Welcome, all. Now, pay attention.

0:02:110:02:14

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

0:02:140:02:20

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

0:02:200:02:24

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

0:02:240:02:27

until they drop into your bank.

0:02:270:02:29

And here's how you cut the links.

0:02:290:02:31

I'm going to ask you four questions

0:02:310:02:33

and you have to work out what links the answers.

0:02:330:02:36

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

0:02:360:02:39

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

0:02:390:02:43

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

0:02:430:02:48

Then two, then one.

0:02:480:02:50

And of course, the link here is...

0:02:500:02:52

ALL: Curries.

0:02:520:02:53

They chorused. Yes.

0:02:530:02:56

Let's cut that link.

0:02:560:02:57

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

0:03:000:03:03

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

0:03:030:03:08

Let's play The Link.

0:03:080:03:09

APPLAUSE

0:03:090:03:12

Here's the first question, for four links.

0:03:120:03:16

0:03:410:03:44

0:03:590:04:00

0:04:000:04:05

you can cut four links. How do you want to use them?

Right. That leaves five links on there and five links on the 1,000,

0:14:050:14:10

so 3,000 on the screen.

0:14:100:14:12

Are you ready? Stand by for four links.

0:14:120:14:14

William Shakespeare's mother was called Mary...who?

0:14:150:14:20

0:14:230:14:25

Can't fault you, but you're wrong.

0:14:250:14:27

Anybody else want a go?

0:14:280:14:30

No.

0:14:320:14:33

The answer is Arden.

0:14:330:14:34

None of you have a chance to guess the link.

0:14:360:14:38

So you're all back in play.

0:14:380:14:40

Stand by for three links.

0:14:400:14:42

Which four-letter word can mean the head of a university

0:14:420:14:44

-Dean.

0:14:460:14:48

..or a senior clergyman in the Anglican Church?

0:14:480:14:52

Dean is correct.

0:14:520:14:54

Arden, Dean...

0:14:540:14:56

-what's the link?

-Dunno. Famous actors?

0:14:560:14:59

Publishers.

0:14:590:15:01

Is the link publishers?

0:15:020:15:04

No.

0:15:060:15:07

For two links...

0:15:090:15:11

the man who was appointed head coach of Tottenham Hotspur in December,

0:15:110:15:15

-BUZZER

0:15:150:15:18

-Al.

-Sherwood.

0:15:180:15:20

Tim Sherwood. Correct.

0:15:200:15:22

Arden, Dean, Sherwood, the link.

0:15:220:15:25

-Is it Robin Hood?

-Sherwood Forest.

0:15:250:15:28

-Arden?

-It's something to do with... Is it Nottingham? Robin Hood.

0:15:280:15:31

Is the link Robin Hood?

0:15:330:15:36

No.

0:15:360:15:37

OK, everyone back in play. Stand by. Your next question for one link.

0:15:390:15:43

0:15:510:15:53

Zooey Deschanel.

0:15:530:15:54

Arden, Dean, Sherwood, new, what's the link?

0:15:540:15:56

Forests.

0:15:570:15:59

Is the link forests?

0:15:590:16:01

-Yes.

-APPLAUSE

0:16:030:16:06

Tim and Al have got a link to cut.

0:16:070:16:09

Where are you going to cut it?

0:16:090:16:11

Yeah, we're going to actually take a link off the 1,000.

0:16:110:16:13

You're going to take one link off the 1,000 - let's do that.

0:16:130:16:16

Are you ready? For four links...

0:16:170:16:20

What is the ninth letter of the English...

0:16:220:16:24

-BUZZER

-Tim.

0:16:240:16:26

-I.

-..alphabet?

0:16:260:16:29

I is correct.

0:16:290:16:31

I, first clue. Link?

0:16:310:16:33

BOTH: Roman numerals.

0:16:330:16:35

-What else are they going to put up?

-X, V...

0:16:350:16:37

-Yeah, I quite like that.

-Shall we go for that?

-Roman numerals.

0:16:370:16:40

Tim quite likes it.

0:16:400:16:41

Is the link Roman numerals?

0:16:430:16:45

APPLAUSE

0:16:460:16:48

Very good.

0:16:520:16:54

The remaining clues would have been M, 1,000, C, 100, X, 10.

0:16:540:17:00

So you now have four links.

0:17:000:17:02

-How are you going to cut your links?

-Should we take the 1,000?

0:17:020:17:04

We'll bank the 1,000, yeah.

0:17:040:17:06

So you're going to cut the four links on the 1,000 pod.

0:17:060:17:09

And with a satisfying splash...

0:17:100:17:13

Whoa.

0:17:130:17:14

That joins your 1,050 to make 2,050.

0:17:160:17:20

So with only £2,000 left on the screen,

0:17:220:17:24

that means you two are through.

0:17:240:17:27

Amber and Andy, you aren't safe yet.

0:17:270:17:30

And Brenda and Davey, you have every chance.

0:17:300:17:33

For four links, stand by.

0:17:330:17:34

Which four-letter word follows high and triple...

0:17:360:17:39

BUZZER

0:17:390:17:42

-Andy.

-Jump.

0:17:420:17:44

..to complete the names of two Olympic sporting events?

0:17:440:17:47

Jump is correct.

0:17:470:17:49

That's the first clue - jump.

0:17:490:17:51

The link?

0:17:510:17:52

-Jump suit.

-Yeah.

0:17:520:17:55

We'll try... We'll try suit.

0:17:550:17:57

Is the link suit?

0:17:570:17:58

No.

0:18:010:18:03

For three links, everybody's back in the game.

0:18:030:18:06

-The bands Hear'Say and Liberty X...

-BUZZER

0:18:060:18:08

Tim.

0:18:080:18:11

Popstars: The Rivals.

0:18:110:18:13

..were formed through which 2001 TV talent series?

0:18:130:18:17

Popstars.

0:18:170:18:18

We'll take that.

0:18:180:18:20

Jump, Popstars, the link.

0:18:200:18:22

(Girls Aloud.)

0:18:240:18:25

-Do they do a song called Jump?

-Yeah, they did.

-Er...yeah.

0:18:250:18:28

We think the answer is Girls Aloud.

0:18:280:18:31

Is the link Girls Aloud?

0:18:310:18:32

APPLAUSE

0:18:340:18:36

The remaining clues would have been Biology and Cheryl Cole.

0:18:400:18:44

Girls Aloud.

0:18:440:18:45

They were formed on Popstars: The Rivals,

0:18:450:18:47

had hits with Jump and Biology,

0:18:470:18:50

and featured Cheryl Cole.

0:18:500:18:52

Well done.

0:18:520:18:53

So...cut three links from the 2,000 pod.

0:18:530:18:56

Stand by.

0:19:000:19:02

For four links...

0:19:020:19:03

What is the unusual first name of the actress Ferrera...

0:19:050:19:08

BUZZER

0:19:080:19:10

-Amber.

-America.

0:19:100:19:12

..the actress Ferrera who played the title role in the US comedy

0:19:120:19:15

Ugly Betty?

0:19:150:19:16

The answer is indeed America.

0:19:160:19:19

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

0:19:190:19:21

North America and South America.

0:19:210:19:23

Erm...

0:19:230:19:25

Shall we...? Go for...?

0:19:250:19:27

-North or South?

-South.

0:19:270:19:29

Say the word south.

0:19:290:19:30

Is the link south?

0:19:300:19:32

Oh.

0:19:340:19:36

Everyone back in play for three links,

0:19:360:19:39

two remaining on the £2,000.

0:19:390:19:42

Which basic boxing punch is delivered by...?

0:19:430:19:46

-BUZZER

-Tim.

-Jab.

0:19:460:19:48

Is incorrect.

0:19:480:19:50

-BUZZER

-Brenda.

-Hook.

0:19:500:19:53

Which basic boxing punch is delivered by the lead

0:19:530:19:56

hand in a circular motion

0:19:560:19:58

from the standing position?

0:19:580:19:59

A hook...

0:20:010:20:02

is correct.

0:20:020:20:04

Well anticipated.

0:20:040:20:06

America, hook, what's the link?

0:20:060:20:08

The only I can think of is captains.

0:20:080:20:10

You've got Captain America, Captain Hook.

0:20:100:20:11

-Yes, yes.

-Yeah?

0:20:110:20:13

Captains.

0:20:130:20:14

If you're right, you two are through.

0:20:140:20:19

Is the link captains?

0:20:190:20:20

APPLAUSE

0:20:220:20:24

The remaining clues would have been Nemo and Phillips.

0:20:260:20:30

Well done.

0:20:300:20:32

OK.

0:20:320:20:33

Let's remove those links from the £2,000 pod...

0:20:330:20:37

..and free the £2,000, which rushes...

0:20:390:20:43

to Brenda and Davey's bank, giving them £2,000.

0:20:430:20:48

You are through.

0:20:480:20:49

Tim and Al, with 2,050.

0:20:490:20:52

Amber and Andy, with £625,

0:20:520:20:55

-you're going home.

-Aw...

0:20:550:20:57

What happened there? Because I thought,

0:20:570:20:59

at one point, you were working so well together.

0:20:590:21:02

-We were just too slow on the buzzer.

-Yeah.

0:21:020:21:04

Next time, stand nearer the buzzer.

0:21:040:21:06

LAUGHTER

0:21:060:21:07

Amber and Andy, thank you for playing The Link.

0:21:070:21:10

-Goodbye.

-Thank you.

-APPLAUSE

0:21:100:21:11

Brenda and Davey, Tim and Al, you're still in the game.

0:21:140:21:19

Brenda and Davey, you banked £2,000.

0:21:190:21:21

Tim and Al, you banked £2,050.

0:21:210:21:25

That money is now in these two cash pods...

0:21:250:21:28

each held by seven links.

0:21:280:21:30

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

0:21:300:21:33

takes their money through to the final round.

0:21:330:21:36

The other team will be out.

0:21:360:21:39

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

0:21:390:21:43

because you decide how many links you want to cut.

0:21:430:21:47

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

0:21:470:21:49

place or thing from a series of clues,

0:21:490:21:52

and you tell me whether you want to play for one, two,

0:21:520:21:54

three or four links.

0:21:540:21:56

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

0:21:560:22:00

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

0:22:000:22:03

through to this round, and that's Tim and Al.

0:22:030:22:05

Your question is asking...

0:22:080:22:10

..what am I? How many links?

0:22:120:22:14

Two links, please.

0:22:140:22:16

For two links, what am I?

0:22:160:22:17

Here are your clues.

0:22:170:22:18

-Equus sounds...

-It's horse.

0:22:330:22:36

So...horse or a pony or an ass.

0:22:360:22:38

Drove. You don't have drove of horses...

0:22:400:22:42

You brand... You brand a horse.

0:22:420:22:45

What's the link?

0:22:450:22:46

-Yeah, I guess so. Shall we go for that?

-Yeah.

0:22:460:22:49

BOTH: Horse.

0:22:490:22:51

Am I a horse?

0:22:510:22:52

No.

0:22:560:22:57

Brenda and Davey, you now have the chance to nick a link.

0:22:570:23:00

You will see the remaining clue for a chance to cut

0:23:000:23:04

a single link from your cash pod...and it is...

0:23:040:23:06

Donkey.

0:23:100:23:12

Am I a donkey?

0:23:120:23:13

That's right.

0:23:210:23:22

That means we can cut a link from your pod...

0:23:220:23:25

..like that.

0:23:270:23:29

Now it's your go.

0:23:290:23:31

Your question is asking...

0:23:310:23:33

..what am I? How many links?

0:23:340:23:37

We're going for two. Or should we be brave with three?

0:23:370:23:40

Two. Two, please.

0:23:400:23:42

You're going for two. OK.

0:23:420:23:43

For two links, here are your clues.

0:23:430:23:46

What am I?

0:23:470:23:49

THEY MUTTER

0:24:120:24:14

What did they use on the expedition?

0:24:140:24:17

Answer, please.

0:24:170:24:19

Bombay, no?

0:24:190:24:21

OK.

0:24:210:24:22

Am I Bombay?

0:24:220:24:24

No.

0:24:250:24:27

So, Tim and Al, you now have a chance to nick a link.

0:24:270:24:30

Here's the remaining clue.

0:24:300:24:32

We think the answer is Snowdon.

0:24:360:24:38

Am I Snowdon?

0:24:380:24:40

Yes.

0:24:450:24:47

I am Mount Snowdon.

0:24:470:24:49

Let's cut your link.

0:24:490:24:50

OK, six remaining and now it's your turn.

0:24:520:24:56

Your question is asking...

0:24:560:24:59

who am I?

0:24:590:25:01

How many links?

0:25:010:25:02

I think same again, yeah. We'll go with two links, please.

0:25:020:25:05

For two links, here are your clues.

0:25:050:25:08

Usain Bolt? That kind of thing?

0:25:320:25:34

Basketball players, they're always massively paid. Eh...

0:25:340:25:39

-Lebron?

-That could be South Vietnamese...not really, is it?

0:25:390:25:42

-Who am I?

-Lebron James.

0:25:420:25:45

Am I Lebron James?

0:25:450:25:47

No!

0:25:490:25:51

Ho-ho, and again, Brenda and Davey,

0:25:510:25:53

you now have a chance to nick a link.

0:25:530:25:56

Here's the remaining clue.

0:25:560:25:57

Who am I?

0:26:050:26:06

-I'm not good with golf, Mum, any ideas?

-Ooh, can't think of it!

0:26:080:26:13

I'm sorry, I can't think of his name.

0:26:130:26:15

-Sta, sta, sta...does it begin with S?

-Give me an answer.

0:26:150:26:20

TIME UP BUZZER

0:26:200:26:21

THEY LAUGH

0:26:210:26:22

Time up. The answer is...

0:26:220:26:25

-(Tiger Woods.)

-Tiger Woods. You got it in the end.

-Yes!

0:26:250:26:30

So no links removed, but we stay with you for the next question.

0:26:300:26:34

And it will be...

0:26:340:26:36

-Two? Two, please.

-For two links, here are your clues.

0:26:360:26:40

Who am I?

0:26:570:26:58

-I've absolutely no idea.

-Young actresses...

0:27:000:27:04

-American actresses.

-Can you remember the film Big Fish?

0:27:050:27:09

-Any answer. Just an answer.

0:27:090:27:14

TIME UP BUZZER

0:27:140:27:16

Time up. Right. The ping-pong continues.

0:27:160:27:20

Tim and Al, you now have a chance to nick a link.

0:27:200:27:23

And here is the final clue.

0:27:230:27:26

-Who am I?

-Miley Cyrus.

0:27:340:27:36

Am I Miley Cyrus?

0:27:370:27:38

APPLAUSE

0:27:410:27:43

Correct. OK, let's cut that link.

0:27:450:27:47

Leaving you five. And it's now your turn.

0:27:490:27:53

Your question will be asking...

0:27:530:27:55

How many links?

0:27:580:28:00

-We'll go one link, please.

-For one link, what am I?

0:28:000:28:04

-The Pacific Ocean.

-Am I the Pacific Ocean?

0:28:250:28:29

Yes!

0:28:300:28:32

Right, one link to cut. There it goes.

0:28:360:28:40

Four links remaining on your pod.

0:28:400:28:42

Brenda and Davey, you have six links remaining on your pod.

0:28:420:28:47

Your next question will be...

0:28:470:28:49

How many links?

0:28:510:28:53

-We'll follow suit and go one, please.

-One link. Your clues are...

0:28:530:28:58

Salisbury.

0:29:220:29:24

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

0:29:260:29:28

Fair enough, we'll go with that.

0:29:300:29:31

Am I Salisbury Cathedral?

0:29:330:29:34

OK. Tim and Al, you have a chance to nick a link.

0:29:400:29:43

You have all the clues - what am I?

0:29:430:29:45

St Paul's Cathedral perhaps? Westminster Abbey or something?

0:29:470:29:51

Which one?

0:29:510:29:52

-St Paul's Cathedral.

-Am I St Paul's Cathedral?

0:29:540:29:58

So, the answer is...

0:30:010:30:05

Canterbury Cathedral.

0:30:050:30:06

Generations of primates of the Church of England

0:30:070:30:10

-are spinning in their graves!

-I feel bad.

0:30:100:30:13

Not to mention their predecessors from the Catholic Church!

0:30:130:30:16

No links removed, but we stay with Tim and Al for the next question.

0:30:160:30:22

And it's asking...

0:30:220:30:23

-How many links?

-We'll go one link, please.

0:30:250:30:28

For one link, who am I? Here are your clues.

0:30:280:30:32

-Well, it's a Spanish name, Jose Ruiz Blasco.

-Yeah, let's do it.

0:31:010:31:05

I think that's a good first answer.

0:31:050:31:08

OK, erm, don't know, but we're going to guess Pablo Picasso.

0:31:080:31:12

Am I Pablo Picasso?

0:31:120:31:14

APPLAUSE

0:31:170:31:18

Yes, I am.

0:31:200:31:22

Let's cut your link. Right, three links remaining on your pod.

0:31:220:31:29

Brenda and Davey, six links remaining on your pod.

0:31:290:31:33

And your question will be asking...

0:31:330:31:35

-How many links?

-Shall we risk three?

0:31:370:31:40

-Three.

-If you fancy a risk, yes.

-OK, here are your clues.

0:31:430:31:49

Dalai Lama?

0:32:030:32:05

-Yes.

-We'll guess Dalai Lama.

0:32:060:32:08

Am I the Dalai Lama?

0:32:100:32:12

Very good, Davey's gamble paid off there

0:32:190:32:22

because you now have three links to cut.

0:32:220:32:25

The remaining clues would have been...

0:32:250:32:27

I was a guest judge on the Australian version

0:32:270:32:30

of the TV series MasterChef.

0:32:300:32:31

-I didn't know that!

-LAUGHTER

0:32:310:32:33

I am the spiritual leader of the Tibetan people.

0:32:330:32:36

Yes. Bit of brinksmanship there.

0:32:360:32:38

Are you playing tactically, leaving it so late every time?

0:32:380:32:41

Absolutely, we've known every single answer.

0:32:410:32:43

OK, let's cut your links.

0:32:460:32:48

OK, neck and neck, but it's Tim and Al's go,

0:32:520:32:55

so the advantage passes to them.

0:32:550:32:57

Your question will be...

0:32:570:32:59

-How many links?

-Two links, please.

-For two links, here are your clues.

0:33:010:33:05

Is it, erm, The Archers?

0:33:270:33:28

-Ooh. That'd be great if that's the answer.

-Yeah, maybe?

0:33:310:33:35

-Go for it, you say it.

-The Archers.

0:33:350:33:37

Am I The Archers?

0:33:370:33:38

Brilliant.

0:33:410:33:42

The remaining clue would have been...

0:33:430:33:45

Let's cut those links.

0:33:500:33:52

One left. Brenda and Davey, your question will be asking...

0:33:560:34:00

-How many links?

-Think we have to, don't we? Three links.

0:34:030:34:07

For three links...

0:34:070:34:09

here are your clues.

0:34:090:34:11

-Any ideas at all?

-I can only think of coffee.

0:34:220:34:25

-Coffee.

-Yes.

0:34:250:34:27

-Could well...play a role in development, couldn't it?

-What am I?

0:34:270:34:31

-It's a coffee-producing country.

-OK. Coffee.

0:34:310:34:34

Am I coffee?

0:34:360:34:37

No.

0:34:390:34:41

I'm not.

0:34:410:34:42

Right, with one link remaining,

0:34:420:34:44

Tim and Al now have a chance to nick a link.

0:34:440:34:47

Here are the remaining clues.

0:34:470:34:48

BOTH: Tea.

0:34:520:34:53

-Cambodian tea.

-Tea.

0:34:580:35:00

Am I tea?

0:35:010:35:02

APPLAUSE

0:35:050:35:07

As they say in Birmingham, I don't mind long as it's wet and warm.

0:35:080:35:11

LAUGHTER

0:35:110:35:13

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

0:35:130:35:15

And thar she blows.

0:35:180:35:19

Well done, Tim and Al, you're through to the final round

0:35:230:35:25

and that cash goes with you.

0:35:250:35:27

Brenda and Davey... didn't work this time.

0:35:270:35:30

-I chose the wrong commodity, didn't I?

-You chose...yeah!

0:35:300:35:33

You've been brilliant contestants, thank you very much.

0:35:330:35:36

-Thank you.

-Thanks.

-Goodbye.

0:35:360:35:38

0:36:020:36:06

-My share.

-That's the dream.

-I wish you luck.

0:36:210:36:25

To take that money home you have just 60 seconds to

0:36:250:36:28

find six super links. At each level,

0:36:280:36:31

you'll need to identify the link between ten one-word clues.

0:36:310:36:35

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

0:36:360:36:39

and we'll stop the clock.

0:36:390:36:40

If you are right, you can take that money home, but choose to

0:36:400:36:43

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

0:36:430:36:47

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

0:36:470:36:50

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

0:36:500:36:54

The clock will start when you see the first clue.
