0:00:200:00:22

To win this game you have to find the link between the answers.

0:00:220:00:25

Three teams are hoping to make the right connections,

0:02:270:02:29

Well, yeah, you change every few years and that,

0:02:290:02:33

I mean, they're always sort of perfecting the chairs.

0:02:350:02:38

0:03:030:03:05

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

0:03:050:03:11

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

0:03:110:03:14

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

0:03:140:03:18

until they drop down into your bank, and here's how you cut the links.

0:03:180:03:21

I'm going to ask you four questions

0:03:210:03:23

and you have to work out what links the answers.

0:03:230:03:26

If you can guess the link from the first answer alone,

0:03:260:03:29

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

0:03:290:03:32

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

0:03:320:03:36

then two, then one.

0:25:220:25:25

I am going to ask you to identify a person,

0:25:250:25:27

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

0:25:270:25:31

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

0:25:310:25:34

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

0:25:340:25:38

If you do not spot the link, your opponents will see all the clues

0:25:380:25:41

for a chance to cut a single link from their cash pod.

0:25:410:25:44

Aubrey and David have brought through the most money to this round

so you get to decide if you want to play first or second.

0:25:470:25:52

0:27:580:28:00

0:28:010:28:04

What am I?

0:28:200:28:22

-Is it Maginot?

-Maginot line...

0:28:240:28:27

-That was at the start of the war.

-Was it?

-Yeah.

0:28:270:28:31

Don't know.

0:28:350:28:36

-The Battle of the Bulge? Is that the one?

-Think so?

-Think so.

0:28:360:28:40

-Go for it.

0:28:400:28:41

0:28:410:28:43

Yes. Your remaining clue was...

0:28:450:28:48

my name refers to the wedge that the Germans drove into the Allied lines.

0:28:480:28:52

David, that came out of where?

0:28:520:28:54

-Somewhere.

-LAUGHTER

0:28:540:28:55

A history degree many years ago.

0:28:550:28:57

Right, let's cut those links.

0:28:570:28:59

Three links remaining.

0:29:020:29:04

Chris and Mandy, your go now. Your question will be asking...

0:29:040:29:08

0:29:080:29:11

-Two again.

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

0:29:110:29:14

-Chortle?

0:29:360:29:39

-Charles Dickens?

-What was his name?

0:29:410:29:42

-I have no idea.

-Was it Charles...?

0:29:420:29:46

-Go for it.

-Charles Dickens?

0:29:460:29:48

Am I Charles Dickens?

0:29:480:29:49

No. Which means, Aubrey and David, you have a chance to nick a link.

0:29:510:29:55

Here is the remaining clue for the chance to cut a single link

0:29:550:29:58

from your cash pod and it is...

0:29:580:30:00

-Lewis Carroll.

-Yep.

0:30:070:30:09

-Lewis Carroll.

-Am I Lewis Carroll?

0:30:090:30:11

-Yes.

-APPLAUSE

0:30:130:30:16

So you whiffled through the tulgey wood, and got Lewis Carroll.

0:30:160:30:20

Excellent. Let's cut that link that you have nicked.

0:30:200:30:23

Aubrey and David, your turn.

0:30:250:30:27

Your question will be asking...

0:30:270:30:28

..who am I? How many links would you like to play for?

0:30:300:30:33

-Two again?

-Fair enough, yeah.

-Two, please.

0:30:330:30:36

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

0:30:360:30:39

Who am I?

0:30:530:30:54

Mary Berry? Go for it?

0:30:560:30:58

Could it be Fanny Cradock? Fanny Cradock? No.

0:30:580:31:01

What age...? Hold on. Mary Berry, 1935 would make her...

0:31:020:31:06

-80.

-80 odds.

-Is she 80?

0:31:060:31:09

-Would she be that old?

-Fanny Cradock?

0:31:090:31:13

-I need an answer.

-Who do you want to go for?

0:31:130:31:15

-Go for...

-Running out of time.

0:31:160:31:18

Don't do that to yourselves.

0:31:180:31:19

-Fanny Cradock.

-Fanny Cradock.

0:31:190:31:21

Am I Fanny Cradock?

0:31:210:31:22

No. Chris and Mandy, you have a chance to nick a link.

0:31:230:31:27

You're going to see the remaining clue

0:31:270:31:29

for the chance to cut one link from your pod.

0:31:290:31:33

And it is...

0:31:330:31:34

-Who am I?

-That would be Mary Berry.

0:31:390:31:40

Am I Mary Berry?

0:31:400:31:42

APPLAUSE

0:31:430:31:45

Yes. You kept saying it.

0:31:450:31:49

You kept ignoring each other.

0:31:490:31:51

Which means, Chris and Mandy, you have nicked a link.

0:31:510:31:53

Let's cut it from your cash pod leaving...

0:31:530:31:55

..four links. It's now your turn.

0:31:570:31:59

Your question will be asking...

0:31:590:32:03

who am I?

0:32:030:32:04

How many links would you like to play for?

0:32:040:32:07

What do you reckon? Go for three? May as well.

0:32:070:32:11

Might as well. Go for three.

0:32:110:32:13

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

0:32:130:32:16

What's his name?

0:32:280:32:30

-Freddie who died, out of Queen.

-Yeah.

-What?

0:32:300:32:33

-Freddie Mercury.

-Freddie Mercury.

0:32:330:32:35

Freddie Mercury, Mark.

0:32:350:32:37

Mandy's made her mind up.

0:32:370:32:39

Am I Freddie Mercury?

0:32:390:32:40

Yes, of course I am!

0:32:420:32:43

-APPLAUSE

-The other clues would have been...

0:32:430:32:46

Right, let's cut those links.

0:32:530:32:54

Leaving one.

0:32:580:33:00

Aubrey and David, your turn now. Your question will be asking...

0:33:000:33:05

Who am I?

0:33:060:33:08

-How many links would you like to play for?

-Two again, please.

0:33:080:33:11

Two again. For two links, who am I? here are your clues.

0:33:110:33:14

Who am I?

0:33:320:33:33

-Robert De Niro?

-Happy enough?

-Yeah. Robert De Niro.

0:33:330:33:37

Am I Robert De Niro?

0:33:370:33:39

No.

0:33:400:33:41

Which means Chris and Mandy, with one link remaining,

0:33:410:33:46

you have a chance to nick a link.

0:33:460:33:47

Here is the remaining clue.

0:33:470:33:49

-Who am I?

-Al Pacino.

0:33:580:34:00

Am I Al Pacino?

0:34:000:34:03

No.

0:34:030:34:05

The link was...

0:34:060:34:07

Scorsese.

0:34:070:34:09

Martin Scorsese. As David finally said. Bit late there.

0:34:100:34:15

After a bit of pressure there from Chris and Mandy on Aubrey and David,

0:34:150:34:20

things look a bit different because it is now

0:34:200:34:22

Chris and Mandy's turn so your question will be asking,

0:34:220:34:25

who am I?

0:34:250:34:27

And how many links would you like to play for?

0:34:270:34:29

Just the one.

0:34:290:34:30

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

0:34:300:34:33

-Banksy.

-Yep, it's him who... Yes, he sells and doesn't show his identity.

0:34:570:35:02

I didn't know he directed films but... Banksy?

0:35:020:35:05

Am I Banksy?

0:35:050:35:06

Yes. I am Banksy.

0:35:080:35:09

So let's remove the final link.

0:35:100:35:13

Well done, Chris and Mandy, you are through to the final round

0:35:140:35:17

and that cash goes with you.

0:35:170:35:19

You didn't sound too pleased there, Chris.

0:35:200:35:22

It is just a relief, Mark.

0:35:220:35:25

Aubrey and David, I have to say that was the best

0:35:250:35:28

second-round I think we have ever had.

0:35:280:35:30

It was always close, it was close.

0:35:300:35:32

You played a great game and it is time to say goodbye.

0:35:320:35:35

-Aubrey and David, thanks for playing The Link.

-Thank you.

-Thanks very much.

0:35:350:35:38

Chris and Mandy, you are today's finalists and how are you feeling?

0:35:410:35:44

Surprised.

0:35:440:35:45

Relaxed now, but very surprised.

0:35:450:35:48

You didn't seem like you were that perturbed. That was neck and neck, it was quite...hm...

0:35:480:35:52

It was a good game.

0:35:520:35:53

It was a good game, a really good game.

0:35:530:35:56

Well done, you have won.

0:35:560:35:58

You have brought £1,750 through to the super link round

0:35:580:36:02

from the previous round and we are adding £2,000 to that.

0:36:020:36:05

So today you are playing for £3,750.

0:36:060:36:11

APPLAUSE

0:36:110:36:13

Chris, if you got to take the money home, what would you do with it?

0:36:150:36:18

I'm going to make a donation to a charity for the deaf in Sunderland, deaf and blind.

0:36:180:36:25

And I will probably buy a mountain bike as well.

0:36:250:36:27

Excellent. And what about you?

0:36:270:36:29

-I don't know if you know but I make marshmallows.

-Could marshmallows be the new cupcakes?

0:36:290:36:33

-I think so.

-Cupcakes has had its day surely, the cupcake bubble must burst soon.

0:36:330:36:38

-Marshmallows are it.

-What would you do? Different colours, different flavours?

0:36:380:36:41

Just upgrade the equipment I have because it has seen better days.

0:36:410:36:45

I am starving.

0:36:450:36:47

To take the money home you have 60 seconds to find six super links.

0:36:470:36:51

At each level you need to identify the link between 10 clues.

0:36:510:36:55

As soon as you think you know the answer, buzz, we will stop clock.

0:36:550:36:58

If you're right you, can take that money home.

0:36:580:37:01

If you choose to play on, your team-mate will step forward to tackle the next super link.

0:37:010:37:05

If you are wrong, play stays with you.

0:37:050:37:08

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

0:37:080:37:11

If you run out of time, you leave with nothing.

0:37:110:37:13

So who is going to play first?

0:37:140:37:16

I think we have decided I am going first.

0:37:160:37:18

Right, Chris, you are on your own, no conferring.

0:37:180:37:21

The clock will start when you see the first clue.

0:37:210:37:24

Let's see if you can find the link. Are you ready, Chris?

0:37:240:37:27

-Yes.

-Standby.

0:37:270:37:28

Private detectives?

0:37:450:37:46

Is the link private detectives?

0:37:460:37:49

No.

0:37:510:37:53

The remaining clues were...

0:37:530:37:55

The only private detectives are Poirot, Magnum and Rockford.

0:37:580:38:02

The rest are policemen, albeit fictional.

0:38:020:38:05

That means play stays with you, Chris,

0:38:050:38:07

and you face a new super link with 49 seconds on the clock.

0:38:070:38:12

-The clock will restart when the first clue appears. Are you ready?

-Yes.

0:38:120:38:15

Types of sausage.

0:38:250:38:27

Is the link types of sausage?

0:38:280:38:29

Right.

0:38:310:38:33

Word perfect that time, Chris.

0:38:330:38:36

Your remaining clues were...

0:38:360:38:37

Types of sausage. That puts you on £125.

0:38:410:38:44

Chris and Mandy, with £125 and 41 seconds remaining on the clock, you

0:38:460:38:51

now have a choice, you can take that money and go, or you can play on.

0:38:510:38:55

We will play on.

0:38:550:38:56

OK, Mandy, you're on your own, no conferring.

0:38:560:38:59

The clock will restart when the first clue appears. Are you ready?

0:38:590:39:03

Clubs.

0:39:140:39:15

Is the link clubs?

0:39:150:39:17

Good shot.

0:39:190:39:21

I thought you had buzzed too early then.

0:39:210:39:25

Great, the remaining clubs were...

0:39:250:39:29

Well done, that puts you on £300.

0:39:320:39:34

With 35 seconds remaining on the clock, you have the choice,

0:39:350:39:39

Chris and Mandy, to take that money and go, or you can play on.

0:39:390:39:42

-Play on.

-Play on.

0:39:420:39:44

Which means, Chris, your turn, no conferring.

0:39:440:39:47

The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:39:470:39:50

Children's nursery rhymes?

0:40:080:40:11

Is the link children's nursery rhymes?

0:40:110:40:14

No.

0:40:140:40:16

They are all Hans Christian Andersen fairytales.

0:40:160:40:20

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

0:40:200:40:23

-With 22 seconds left, the clock will restart when the first clue appears. Are you ready?

-Yep.

0:40:230:40:30

Countries in Africa.

0:40:390:40:41

Is the link countries in Africa?

0:40:410:40:44

No. Old names of countries.

0:40:460:40:49

The other names were...

0:40:490:40:51

They have all changed their names.

0:40:550:40:57

Which means play stays with you, Chris. 16 seconds left.

0:40:570:41:01

-The clock will restart when the first clue appears. Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Stand by.

0:41:010:41:05

Chris?

0:41:110:41:13

Nicknames for Premier League football clubs.

0:41:150:41:18

Is the link nicknames for Premier League football clubs?

0:41:180:41:22

No. They are not all in the Premiership.

0:41:240:41:27

Northampton certainly aren't.

0:41:270:41:28

The remaining clues were...

0:41:280:41:31

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

0:41:340:41:39

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

0:41:390:41:42

Whales.

0:41:510:41:52

Is the link whales?

0:41:520:41:54

Great, when did you get it?

0:42:000:42:01

Oh, my God.

0:42:010:42:03

I thought after minke, but I wanted to make sure just in case.

0:42:030:42:07

The other whales were...

0:42:070:42:08

Right, that puts you on £500 with one second remaining on the clock.

0:42:110:42:18

You can decide to take that money and go, or play on.

0:42:180:42:21

-What do you reckon?

-I think we're there.

-Yeah, I think we'll take it.

0:42:210:42:24

I would.

0:42:240:42:25

Chris and Mandy, you didn't make it to today's top prize,

0:42:250:42:28

but you are going home with £500.

0:42:280:42:31

APPLAUSE

0:42:310:42:32

Well done. You just had to wait there, didn't you?

0:42:350:42:38

Is that difficult?

0:42:380:42:40

No, no, because I knew he would come good and he did.

0:42:400:42:42

With one second remaining.

0:42:420:42:45

It was a tricky one.

0:42:450:42:47

Also, why did you say Premiership?

0:42:470:42:48

I should have just said football clubs. But we made £500.

0:42:480:42:53

Happy with that.

0:42:530:42:55

You did, well done.

0:42:550:42:56

Thank you, Chris and Mandy, for playing The Link.

0:42:560:42:59

APPLAUSE

0:42:590:43:00

Join us next time when three more pairs will be playing The Link.

0:43:020:43:05
