Hello. I'm Mark Williams and welcome to The Link, | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
where knowing the answers is only half the battle. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
To win this game, you have to find the link between the answers. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
Three teams are hoping to make the right connections | 0:00:27 | 0:00:29 | |
but only one of them can be in today's final. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
Let's see who's full of expectation and expertise. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
I'm Mike. I'm a leisure manager from Chester and this is my friend. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
I'm Susanna. I'm a primary-school teacher from Harrogate. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:00:47 | 0:00:48 | |
-And the link is, you're friends. -Yes! | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
Now, Mike, have you ever been hypnotised? | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
I have been hypnotised before, yes. | 0:00:55 | 0:00:58 | |
It was about ten years ago on holiday in Ibiza. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
One of those hotel shows where, you know, | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
you go along in the evening and they ask for a couple of people | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
to come up on stage and I went up on stage - | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
-one of these people that didn't think I could get hypnotised. -Yeah. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
And they made me walk round the stage as a duck. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
Quack! OK. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
-Mike and Susanna, welcome. -BOTH: Thank you. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
Leon and Dean, tell us about yourselves. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
I'm Leon, a recruitment manager, originally from Liverpool. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
-This is my housemate and friend. -I'm Dean. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
I'm a kitchen designer and fitter and I live in London. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:30 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:01:30 | 0:01:32 | |
And the link is... you're housemates. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |

-I do, yeah, for my own pleasure more than anything else. -Yeah, course. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
-Portraiture. -Do you do life drawing? | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
Er...I haven't had any volunteers, no. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
-OK. -But I'm up for it. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
Yes. I travel a lot and I carry a tin of pencils with me, | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
in the expectation that I might suddenly become talented. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
-You obviously are. Leon and Dean, welcome. -BOTH: Thanks. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
-APPLAUSE -Danny and Pippa, tell us about yourselves. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
I'm Danny, a foster carer from Manchester, | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
and this is my friend and colleague. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
I'm Pippa, a foster carer from Oldham. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
-APPLAUSE -And the link is... | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
-you're colleagues. Pippa... -Yes. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
I've got one thing to say to you, which is "Oompa Loompa". | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
-I like dressing up! -Do you? | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
My partner works at the Christie Hospital in Manchester, | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
so we're always fundraising | 0:02:28 | 0:02:29 | |
and last year we did the Race For Life dressed as Oompa Loompas. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
-Did you? -There was about 20 of us. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
20 Oompa Loompas? So...did you make a lot of money? | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
Yes, we did. I don't remember exactly how much. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
-A few thousand. -Fantastic! | 0:02:41 | 0:02:43 | |
Welcome, all. Now, pay attention. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
Here are six cash pods containing amounts ranging from £125 to £2,000. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:51 | |
The more cash in the pod, the more links holding it. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
What you have to do is cut the links holding the pods | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
until they drop into your bank. And here's how you cut the links. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
I'm going to ask you four questions. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
You have to work out what links the answers. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
If you can find that link from the first answer alone, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
you'll be able to cut four of those links. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
If you spot it after the second answer, you can cut three links. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
Then two, then one. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:17 | |
And, of course, the link here is... | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
-ALL: One Direction. -Yes. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
One Direction. Bless 'em(!) | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
Let's cut that link. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:29 | |
You need to bank as much as you can | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
because the team with the least amount of money | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
at the end of this round will be going home. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
-Let's play The Link. -APPLAUSE | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |

-The names of musicals, I think. -Go for it. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:48 | |
Mark, we'll go for the names of musicals, please. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
Is the link the names of musicals? | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
No! | 0:26:54 | 0:26:55 | |
OK, for three links, your next question. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
Famous in Greek legend, | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
a Trojan was a native or inhabitant of the ancient city of... | 0:27:01 | 0:27:06 | |
-Susanna. -Troy. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:07 | |
Troy. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:08 | |
Correct. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:09 | |
Oklahoma, Troy. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
What's the link, Mike and Susanna? | 0:27:12 | 0:27:14 | |
Is it something to do with satellites or something like that? | 0:27:14 | 0:27:20 | |
Troy is really ringing a bell. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
Brad Pitt films? | 0:27:23 | 0:27:25 | |

Is the link Brad Pitt films? | 0:27:34 | 0:27:38 | |
No. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
Right, you're all back in play. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:45 | |
Stand by, for two links, only one link remaining on the £2,000 pod. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:49 | |
In 2014, which film won Best Picture at the Oscars? | 0:27:49 | 0:27:53 | |
12 Years A Slave. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
12 Years A Slave is correct. | 0:27:55 | 0:27:57 | |
Oklahoma, Troy, 12 Years A Slave, | 0:27:58 | 0:28:00 | |
what's the link? | 0:28:00 | 0:28:02 | |
I don't think it's Brad Pitt films, I think it's Brad Pitt. | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
Shall we just say Brad Pitt? | 0:28:05 | 0:28:07 | |
-Yeah, yeah. -Can we think of anything else? | 0:28:08 | 0:28:10 | |
He was in those two films. | 0:28:10 | 0:28:11 | |
Brad Pitt? | 0:28:11 | 0:28:13 | |
Is the link Brad Pitt? | 0:28:13 | 0:28:15 | |
Correct. | 0:28:16 | 0:28:17 | |
The remaining clue was | 0:28:17 | 0:28:20 | |

Born in Shawnee, Oklahoma, he was Achilles in Troy, | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
he produced and appeared in 12 Years A Slave, | 0:28:24 | 0:28:27 | |
and he was married to Jennifer Aniston. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:30 | |
Right, shall we just cut that remaining link on the £2,000? | 0:28:30 | 0:28:33 | |
-Yes, please. -That's good, let's do that. | 0:28:33 | 0:28:35 | |
Which means... | 0:28:36 | 0:28:37 | |
..there it goes. | 0:28:38 | 0:28:40 | |
Mike and Susanna, £3,000. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:43 | |
You're going through to | 0:28:43 | 0:28:44 | |
the next round with Danny and Pippa | 0:28:44 | 0:28:46 | |
on £1,375, | 0:28:46 | 0:28:48 | |
Leon and Dean on £300, | 0:28:48 | 0:28:51 | |
are going home. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:53 | |
Chaps, you fought a very good fight. | 0:28:53 | 0:28:56 | |
It was good, enjoyed it. | 0:28:56 | 0:28:58 | |
Thank you very much for playing The Link. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:00 | |
-Goodbye, boys. -Cheers, thanks very much. | 0:29:00 | 0:29:02 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:29:02 | 0:29:05 | |
Mike and Susanna and Danny and Pippa, you're still in the game. | 0:29:05 | 0:29:09 | |
Mike and Susanna, you banked £3,000. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:12 | |
Danny and Pippa, you banked £1,375. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:15 | |
That money is now in these two cash pods, | 0:29:15 | 0:29:18 | |
each held by seven links. | 0:29:18 | 0:29:20 | |
The first team to cut all the links and release their cash pod | 0:29:20 | 0:29:23 | |
takes their money through to the final round. | 0:29:23 | 0:29:26 | |
The other team will be out. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:28 | |
And now you can be as brave or as cautious as you like | 0:29:28 | 0:29:32 | |
because you decide how many links you want to cut. | 0:29:32 | 0:29:35 | |
I'm going to ask you to identify a person, | 0:29:35 | 0:29:37 | |
place or thing from a series of clues and you tell me | 0:29:37 | 0:29:41 | |
whether you want to play for one, two, three or four links. | 0:29:41 | 0:29:45 | |
But the more links you play for, the fewer clues you receive. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:48 | |
We start with the team who has brought the most money | 0:29:48 | 0:29:51 | |
through to this round | 0:29:51 | 0:29:52 | |
and that's Mike and Susanna. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:54 | |
The first question is asking you... | 0:29:56 | 0:29:58 | |
How many links, Mike and Susanna? | 0:30:01 | 0:30:03 | |
We'll have two links, Mark, please. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:05 | |
For two links, here are your clues, who am I? | 0:30:05 | 0:30:07 | |
-Joan of Arc. -Yeah. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:25 | |
-BOTH: -I knew it from the first one! | 0:30:25 | 0:30:27 | |
-Unfortunately we played it safe, but I'm happy with that. -Happy? | 0:30:27 | 0:30:31 | |
-Yeah. -Joan of Arc. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:33 | |
Am I Joan of Arc? | 0:30:33 | 0:30:34 | |
Yeah, the remaining clue was... | 0:30:36 | 0:30:38 | |
Let's cut those links. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:43 | |
Five remaining. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:47 | |
Danny and Pippa. Your turn now. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:51 | |
Your question will be asking... | 0:30:51 | 0:30:53 | |
How many links? | 0:30:55 | 0:30:56 | |
Two links, please, Mark. | 0:30:56 | 0:30:58 | |
For two links, here are your clues. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:00 | |
Who am I? | 0:31:00 | 0:31:02 | |
It's a girl, yeah, I'm sure it's a girl. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:23 | |
Katy Perry? | 0:31:23 | 0:31:25 | |
-Yeah. -Pop music, should be Katy Perry. | 0:31:26 | 0:31:29 | |
We'll go Katy Perry. | 0:31:29 | 0:31:30 | |
Am I Katy Perry? | 0:31:32 | 0:31:34 | |
Well done. The other clue was... | 0:31:39 | 0:31:40 | |
OK, let's cut those links. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:48 | |
So, Mike and Susanna, it's your turn now | 0:31:51 | 0:31:54 | |
and your question will be asking... | 0:31:54 | 0:31:56 | |
How many links? | 0:31:58 | 0:31:59 | |
-Happy to stick with two? -Yeah, two's fine. -Stick with two, please. | 0:31:59 | 0:32:02 | |
For two links, here are your clues. What am I? | 0:32:02 | 0:32:05 | |
-Oh... -Heathrow? | 0:32:28 | 0:32:30 | |
-Heathrow is the biggest airport in... -Yeah. | 0:32:30 | 0:32:34 | |
If it's that big and the staff could... | 0:32:34 | 0:32:37 | |
The first one, we can't work out. | 0:32:37 | 0:32:39 | |
-I am named after the small village... -What am I? | 0:32:39 | 0:32:41 | |
Heathrow? Heathrow. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:42 | |
We'll try Heathrow, Mark, please. | 0:32:42 | 0:32:44 | |
Am I Heathrow? | 0:32:44 | 0:32:45 | |
Yep, Heathrow Airport. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:48 | |
The final clue was... | 0:32:49 | 0:32:50 | |
Let's cut those links. | 0:32:56 | 0:32:58 | |
Leaving three. Danny and Pippa. | 0:33:00 | 0:33:03 | |
You have five links holding your pod, | 0:33:03 | 0:33:05 | |
how many links would you like to try and cut? | 0:33:05 | 0:33:08 | |
-Two links, please. -Two links. | 0:33:08 | 0:33:10 | |
Your question will be asking... | 0:33:10 | 0:33:13 | |
Here are your clues. | 0:33:15 | 0:33:16 | |
-Yale's American. -Yale's American, yes. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:45 | |
So I'm thinking it's one of the American sports. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:47 | |
Baseball seems the most obvious. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:49 | |
I don't know this name, Pudge Heffelfinger. | 0:33:49 | 0:33:51 | |
Quite often the baseball players had a... | 0:33:51 | 0:33:54 | |
1892, you have to think of baseball. | 0:33:54 | 0:33:56 | |
Baseball. | 0:33:56 | 0:33:57 | |
Am I baseball? | 0:33:57 | 0:33:59 | |
No. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:02 | |
Mike and Susanna, you now have the chance to nick a link. | 0:34:02 | 0:34:06 | |
I am going to show you the remaining clue | 0:34:06 | 0:34:08 | |
for the chance to cut a single link from your cash pod. | 0:34:08 | 0:34:12 | |
American football. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:18 | |
Yeah, I'm happy with American football. | 0:34:18 | 0:34:20 | |
We'll go American football, Mark, please. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:23 | |
Is the link American football? | 0:34:23 | 0:34:25 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:34:26 | 0:34:29 | |
Yes, that's right, you've nicked a link. Let's cut that. | 0:34:30 | 0:34:34 | |
And it's now your go. Your question will be asking... | 0:34:34 | 0:34:38 | |
How many links, Mike and Susanna? | 0:34:41 | 0:34:44 | |
I'm just thinking, they can't get on the next round, | 0:34:44 | 0:34:47 | |
so go to two ones, rather than do one two? | 0:34:47 | 0:34:49 | |
Yeah, but they could do a two and a three. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:50 | |
-Yeah. Do you want to try two? -Yeah, let's try two. | 0:34:50 | 0:34:54 | |
All right, let's stick with two. | 0:34:55 | 0:34:57 | |
We'll have two, please, Mark. | 0:34:57 | 0:35:00 | |
For two links, here are your clues. Who am I? | 0:35:00 | 0:35:04 | |
-1960...do you know? -No. | 0:35:20 | 0:35:22 | |
-1960s. Rolling Stones, the Beatles. -Yeah. I wouldn't have a clue. | 0:35:22 | 0:35:28 | |
Shall we go with the Rolling Stones? Rolling Stones. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:31 | |
The Rolling Stones? | 0:35:31 | 0:35:34 | |
Am I The Rolling Stones? | 0:35:34 | 0:35:35 | |
Oh, my God! | 0:35:38 | 0:35:40 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:35:40 | 0:35:42 | |
O ye of little faith! | 0:35:43 | 0:35:44 | |
The last clue would have been... | 0:35:45 | 0:35:47 | |
Let's cut those links. | 0:35:51 | 0:35:53 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:35:57 | 0:35:59 | |
Which means, to Mike and Susanna's surprise, | 0:35:59 | 0:36:02 | |
you will be going through to the final round | 0:36:02 | 0:36:05 | |
and that cash goes with you. | 0:36:05 | 0:36:07 | |
But that also means we're saying goodbye to Danny and Pippa. | 0:36:07 | 0:36:10 | |
-You played a good game. -Thanks, Mark. | 0:36:10 | 0:36:11 | |
-We peaked too early. -Did you? | 0:36:11 | 0:36:13 | |
-Is that how you feel? -Yeah. -Well, I thoroughly enjoyed | 0:36:13 | 0:36:16 | |
having you on The Link. Danny and Pippa, thank you. | 0:36:16 | 0:36:19 | |
-Thank you. -Thank you. | 0:36:19 | 0:36:21 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:36:21 | 0:36:22 | |
Mike and Susanna, you are today's finalists. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:28 | |
You brought through £3,000. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:31 | |
And we're adding £2,000 to that. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:33 | |
Making your maximum win today £5,000. | 0:36:34 | 0:36:38 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:36:38 | 0:36:39 | |
If you win it, | 0:36:39 | 0:36:40 | |
what are you going to do with it? | 0:36:40 | 0:36:43 | |
My sister would like to do her masters at university. | 0:36:43 | 0:36:46 | |
-Oh, OK. -And it costs quite a lot of money. | 0:36:46 | 0:36:48 | |
So I'd like to help my sister out with her uni fees. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:51 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:36:51 | 0:36:53 | |
I'm going to sound much more selfish after that! | 0:36:54 | 0:36:56 | |
One of my best mates is getting married | 0:36:56 | 0:36:58 | |
in Canada in a couple of months and at the moment I can't afford to go, | 0:36:58 | 0:37:02 | |
so I'd like to go to Canada for my mate's wedding. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:04 | |
Two better reasons I have never heard, so fingers crossed! | 0:37:04 | 0:37:07 | |
To take that money home, you have just 60 seconds | 0:37:07 | 0:37:11 | |
to find six super links. | 0:37:11 | 0:37:13 | |
At each level you will need to | 0:37:13 | 0:37:15 | |
identify the link between 10 one-word clues. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:19 | |
As soon as you think you know the answer, | 0:37:19 | 0:37:21 | |
buzz in and we'll stop the clock. | 0:37:21 | 0:37:23 | |
If you're right, you can take that money home, | 0:37:23 | 0:37:25 | |
but choose to play on | 0:37:25 | 0:37:27 | |
and your team-mate will tackle the next super link. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:30 | |
If you're wrong, play stays with you, we re-start the clock | 0:37:30 | 0:37:34 | |
and you'll face a new set of clues. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:37 | |
Run out of time and you leave with hee-haw. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:40 | |
Nothing. Who's going to play first? | 0:37:40 | 0:37:42 | |
-I'm going to go first. -OK, Mike. | 0:37:42 | 0:37:45 | |
Mike, you're on your own. | 0:37:45 | 0:37:47 | |
The clock will start when you see the first clue. | 0:37:47 | 0:37:49 | |
Are you ready? | 0:37:49 | 0:37:50 | |
Yep. | 0:37:50 | 0:37:51 | |
Roald Dahl. | 0:38:08 | 0:38:09 | |
Didn't have the chance to say Matilda, | 0:38:09 | 0:38:11 | |
is the link Roald Dahl? | 0:38:11 | 0:38:12 | |
Yep. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:14 | |
Good. | 0:38:14 | 0:38:16 | |
Well done, Mike, that puts you on £125. | 0:38:18 | 0:38:22 | |
Mike and Susanna, with 46 seconds remaining on the clock, | 0:38:23 | 0:38:26 | |
you now have a choice. | 0:38:26 | 0:38:27 | |
You can take that money and go or play on. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:29 | |
Can we take and run? | 0:38:29 | 0:38:31 | |
-Shall we give it one more? -Go on, then. | 0:38:32 | 0:38:34 | |
-OK. Are you going to play on? -Yes. -Right, Susanna, it's your turn now. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:39 | |
The clock will re-start when the first clue appears. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:43 | |
Arsenal? | 0:38:59 | 0:39:01 | |
Football team? | 0:39:02 | 0:39:03 | |
Didn't have the chance to say Bergkamp. Is the link Arsenal? | 0:39:03 | 0:39:06 | |
Yes, it is. | 0:39:08 | 0:39:09 | |
Mike and Susanna, that puts you on £300. | 0:39:12 | 0:39:16 | |
With 33 seconds remaining on the clock, you have the choice | 0:39:16 | 0:39:20 | |
to take that money and go or you can play on. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:22 | |
There's another one in there, isn't there? | 0:39:22 | 0:39:24 | |
-Yeah. -We'll go on, please, Mark. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:26 | |
OK, you're on your own, Mike. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:27 | |
The clock will re-start when the first clue appears. Stand by. | 0:39:27 | 0:39:31 | |
Mike. | 0:39:45 | 0:39:47 | |
Morse? | 0:39:47 | 0:39:48 | |
Yes! | 0:39:48 | 0:39:49 | |
Is the link Morse? | 0:39:49 | 0:39:51 | |
Yes, Inspector Morse. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:54 | |
The remaining clues were... | 0:39:58 | 0:40:00 | |
Mike and Susanna, that puts you on £500. | 0:40:02 | 0:40:07 | |
With 21 seconds left on the clock, | 0:40:07 | 0:40:09 | |
you can decide to take that money and go | 0:40:09 | 0:40:12 | |
or play on. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:13 | |
We've got 21 seconds, we've got nearly... | 0:40:13 | 0:40:17 | |
That's a full list, I think. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:19 | |
-So... -Yeah, do you want to risk another one? | 0:40:19 | 0:40:21 | |
-I think we should just go for it. -OK. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:23 | |
OK, we'll have another go, please. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:26 | |
Susanna, your turn now. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:29 | |
The clock will re-start when the first clue appears. Stand by. | 0:40:30 | 0:40:33 | |
Um...world leaders? | 0:40:47 | 0:40:50 | |
Is the link world leaders? | 0:40:53 | 0:40:55 | |
-No. -Ah, sorry. | 0:40:57 | 0:40:58 | |
OK, the remaining two Nobel Peace Price winners were | 0:40:58 | 0:41:02 | |
Obama and Mandela. | 0:41:02 | 0:41:04 | |
Which means, Susanna, play stays with you | 0:41:04 | 0:41:08 | |
and you face a new super link. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:10 | |
Nine seconds left, Susanna, you're on your own. | 0:41:10 | 0:41:15 | |
The clock will re-start when the first clue appears. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:17 | |
Is it... | 0:41:27 | 0:41:28 | |
..Indian tribes? | 0:41:29 | 0:41:31 | |
Is the link Indian tribes? | 0:41:35 | 0:41:37 | |
Marsupials. | 0:41:38 | 0:41:41 | |
Sorry, darling! | 0:41:41 | 0:41:42 | |
Let's see what would have happened if you'd gone any further. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:46 | |

That means play stays with you, Susanna, | 0:41:53 | 0:41:55 | |
and you face a new super link. | 0:41:55 | 0:41:56 | |
With one second left, | 0:41:56 | 0:41:58 | |
the clock will re-start when the first clue appears. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:01 | |
What's the link? | 0:42:08 | 0:42:09 | |

-I'm sorry. -Sorry! | 0:42:14 | 0:42:15 | |
-What were you going to say? -I was going to say James Bond. | 0:42:15 | 0:42:18 | |
Well, I'm afraid you'd have been wrong, | 0:42:18 | 0:42:20 | |

We've had a really good day, haven't we? | 0:42:43 | 0:42:45 | |
We've met some lovely people | 0:42:45 | 0:42:46 | |
and we've just had a really good time. | 0:42:46 | 0:42:49 | |
Cheesy, I know, but we have had a great day. | 0:42:49 | 0:42:51 | |
-Cheesy as well - it's been great having you on The Link. -Thank you. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:55 | |
It's been a thoroughly good game. | 0:42:55 | 0:42:57 | |
-Thanks for coming. -Cheers, Mark. -Mike and Susanna, ta-ra. | 0:42:57 | 0:43:00 | |
