0:00:26 > 0:00:29Three teams are hoping to make the right connections,
0:00:29 > 0:00:32but only one of them can be in today's final.

0:01:10 > 0:01:11That's true.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46in a lot of other countries,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48but I've never actually been to see them, so...
0:02:48 > 0:02:50So, I just sit in an office and design them.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53You design hotels? It's a marriage made in heaven.

0:03:04 > 0:03:08The more cash in the pod, the more links there are holding it.
0:03:08 > 0:03:12What you have to do is to cut the links holding the pods
0:03:12 > 0:03:14until they drop down into your bank.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16And here's how you cut the links...
0:03:16 > 0:03:19I'm going to ask you four questions
0:03:19 > 0:03:21and you have to work out what links the answers.
0:03:21 > 0:03:25If you can guess the link from the first answer alone,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27you'll be able to cut four of those links.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29If you spot it after the second answer,
0:03:29 > 0:03:31you can cut three links.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32Then two.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52You need to bank as much cash as you can

0:03:54 > 0:03:58at the end of this round will be going home.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22There we go. Come on, Terence.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28He came out of the woods there, didn't he?
0:25:29 > 0:25:30Right, Terence...
0:25:30 > 0:25:31What's the link?
0:25:31 > 0:25:34British beaches or something? British holiday destinations?
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Yeah, yeah.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39Summer British holiday destinations.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41Is the link summer British holiday destinations?
0:25:43 > 0:25:44No.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46OK, everyone's back in play.
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Stand by for three links...
0:25:48 > 0:25:49The British actor and director Timothy West
0:25:49 > 0:25:51is married to which...
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- Rob.- Prunella Scales.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56..to which well-known TV actress?
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Prunella Scales is correct.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00What's the link?
0:26:00 > 0:26:03- Yeah, it's definitely Fawlty Towers. - Is the link Fawlty Towers?
0:26:05 > 0:26:06APPLAUSE
0:26:06 > 0:26:08The remaining clues were...
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Manuel, the hapless Spanish waiter.
0:26:15 > 0:26:16Basil, the proprietor.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Prunella Scales, his wife.
0:26:18 > 0:26:19And the hotel was in Torquay.
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Sue and Rob, you got that on the second clue,
0:26:21 > 0:26:25which means you could cut three links.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28However, you don't need to. Let's cut that link.
0:26:30 > 0:26:31APPLAUSE
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Which means...
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Sue and Rob, with £4,375,
0:26:36 > 0:26:38are through to the next round,
0:26:38 > 0:26:42Matthew and Paddy, with £300, are similarly through to the next round.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46And, Lyanne and Terence, you ain't!
0:26:47 > 0:26:49You're enthusiastic. You didn't disagree.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51So, those are two positives.
0:26:51 > 0:26:52Lyanne and Terence,
0:26:52 > 0:26:54thanks for playing The Link. Bye-bye.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- Thank you.- Bye!- Cheerio.
0:26:59 > 0:27:03Sue and Rob, so far, you've banked £4,375.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Matthew and Paddy, you've banked £300.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09That money is now in these two cash pods...
0:27:10 > 0:27:12..each held by seven links.
0:27:12 > 0:27:15The first team to cut all the links and release their cash pod
0:27:15 > 0:27:18takes that money through to the final round.
0:27:18 > 0:27:19The other team will be out.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22And now you can be as brave or cautious as you like,
0:27:22 > 0:27:25because you decide how many links you want to try to cut.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28I'm going to ask you to identify a person,
0:27:28 > 0:27:31place or thing from a series of clues
0:27:31 > 0:27:33and you tell me whether you want to play for
0:27:33 > 0:27:35one, two, three or four links.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39But the more links you play for, the fewer clues you'll receive.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41If you do not spot the link,
0:27:41 > 0:27:43your opponents will see all the clues
0:27:43 > 0:27:47for the chance to cut a single link from their cash pod.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Sue and Rob, you've brought the most money through to this round,
0:27:50 > 0:27:53so you get to decide if you want to play first or second.
0:27:53 > 0:27:55See how it's done?
0:27:55 > 0:27:58Yeah. Yeah. Can we play second, please?
0:27:58 > 0:27:59Let's play.
0:28:01 > 0:28:02Stand by. Round two.
0:28:02 > 0:28:06The first question is asking Matthew and Paddy...
0:28:08 > 0:28:10How many links would you like to play for?
0:28:10 > 0:28:12- Two?- I think we'll go for two.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14We'll play it relatively safe, please.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17For two links... Who am I? Here are your clues...
0:28:35 > 0:28:36Who am I?
0:28:36 > 0:28:38I've never seen 1984.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42Can you think of anyone who famously served in the Royal Air Force?
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- An actor? - All I can think of is he's...
0:28:45 > 0:28:46I'm guessing he's British, if he...
0:28:46 > 0:28:48Yeah, must be.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51Famous British, maybe one of those, like, RADA-famous people.
0:28:52 > 0:28:54- Yeah, that's probably... - Old English.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57- That's probably a decent guess. - Can we go for Michael Caine?
0:28:57 > 0:28:58Am I Michael Caine?
0:28:59 > 0:29:00No.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03Sue and Rob, you have a chance to nick a link.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05You will see the remaining clue.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10I narrated Jeff Wayne's War Of The Worlds. Who am I?
0:29:10 > 0:29:11Richard Burton.
0:29:11 > 0:29:12Richard Burton.
0:29:12 > 0:29:13Am I Richard Burton?
0:29:16 > 0:29:17Yep.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Let's cut the link that you have nicked.
0:29:23 > 0:29:24Leaving six.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26And now it's your turn.
0:29:26 > 0:29:27Your question will be asking...
0:29:30 > 0:29:32How many links would you like to try for?
0:29:32 > 0:29:34- Do you want to go for two or...? - I think that's a good idea.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36We'd like to play for two links, please.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37For two links, who am I?
0:29:37 > 0:29:38Here are your clues...
0:29:59 > 0:30:01- Who am I? - Halle... What is it?- Halle Berry.
0:30:01 > 0:30:02Halle Berry.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03Am I Halle Berry?
0:30:04 > 0:30:06APPLAUSE
0:30:06 > 0:30:07The remaining clue was...
0:30:11 > 0:30:13Let's cut those links.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Leaving four.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Matthew and Paddy, your turn.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Your question will be asking...
0:30:24 > 0:30:26How many links do you want to play for?
0:30:26 > 0:30:28- We'll go for three? - Go for three, yeah.
0:30:28 > 0:30:29Yeah, might as well. Three, please.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31For three links,
0:30:31 > 0:30:33here are your clues. What am I?
0:30:47 > 0:30:48What am I?
0:30:49 > 0:30:52- I'm not sure. Is anything jumping out at you?- No.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53- Celtic festival.- Not at all.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56"I'm known for the masks and costumes worn
0:30:56 > 0:30:59"in an attempt to mimic or appease evil spirits."
0:30:59 > 0:31:01- Some kind of...- Give us an answer.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03- Some kind of person? Erm... - It's what?
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Erm...
0:31:06 > 0:31:08- You are running out of time. - Something Celtic?
0:31:08 > 0:31:10Irish, Scottish, Welsh...
0:31:10 > 0:31:11Have a guess.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12We'll go for...
0:31:16 > 0:31:17No. You are out of time.
0:31:17 > 0:31:20Sue and Rob, you have a chance to nick a link.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22You'll see the remaining two clues, which are...
0:31:31 > 0:31:32What am I?
0:31:32 > 0:31:35- Halloween.- Am I Halloween?
0:31:36 > 0:31:37APPLAUSE
0:31:39 > 0:31:41So, you nicked a link. Let's cut that.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44Leaving three links and now it's your turn.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Your question will be asking...
0:31:48 > 0:31:51How many links would you like to play for?
0:31:51 > 0:31:52- Play safe, go for two?- Yeah.
0:31:52 > 0:31:54OK.
0:31:54 > 0:31:55- Yeah.- Yeah?
0:31:55 > 0:31:56We'll go for two links, please.
0:31:56 > 0:31:59Right. For two links, here are your clues. What am I?
0:32:18 > 0:32:20Ah... Is it the Forth Bridge?
0:32:20 > 0:32:21Oh, maybe. Yeah, yeah.
0:32:21 > 0:32:24Because that's always needing painting, doesn't it?
0:32:24 > 0:32:26Yeah. Is it the Forth Bridge?
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Am I the Forth Bridge?
0:32:28 > 0:32:29APPLAUSE
0:32:30 > 0:32:31Yeah. The remaining clue was...
0:32:34 > 0:32:37Well done. Let's cut those two links.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42Leaving one.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Matthew and Paddy, your turn. Your question will be asking...
0:32:47 > 0:32:50You have seven links still remaining.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52How many links would like to play for?
0:32:52 > 0:32:54Go for three?
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Go for three and we'll maybe get one right
0:32:56 > 0:32:58and go home with our head held high.
0:32:58 > 0:32:59LAUGHTER
0:32:59 > 0:33:02For three links. What am I? Here are your clues...
0:33:13 > 0:33:14Hovercraft.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Possibly, yeah. That's actually...
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Don't know how old they are, but...
0:33:19 > 0:33:20Hovercraft?
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Am I a hovercraft?
0:33:23 > 0:33:25APPLAUSE
0:33:25 > 0:33:26Sure I am.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28The remaining clues were...
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Hovercraft. Right, let's cut those links.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44Sue and Rob, your turn next.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47Your question will be asking...
0:33:48 > 0:33:51How many links would you like to play for?
0:33:51 > 0:33:53- Just the one.- Just the one, please.
0:33:53 > 0:33:55For one link, here are your clues.
0:33:55 > 0:33:56What am I?
0:34:19 > 0:34:20What am I?
0:34:20 > 0:34:22It must be Tasmania. That's the only logical conclusion.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24- Yeah, yeah. - Shall we go with Tasmania?
0:34:24 > 0:34:27Yep. Tasmania.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28Am I Tasmania?
0:34:30 > 0:34:31No.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33Matthew and Paddy, do you know?
0:34:33 > 0:34:35We were there a few years ago.
0:34:35 > 0:34:36What am I?
0:34:36 > 0:34:40A few dingoes took some sticks from us. Is it Fraser Island?
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Am I Fraser Island?
0:34:43 > 0:34:44- APPLAUSE - Whoa!
0:34:47 > 0:34:50Right. OK, then. You've nicked a link. Let's remove it.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53And it's now your turn.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Your question will be asking...
0:34:58 > 0:34:59How many links would you like to play for?
0:34:59 > 0:35:02- I think it's got to be a smash-and-grab.- Yeah.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05- So, head held high for a smash-and-grab?- Yeah.- Yep.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07I think Sue and Rob are too good.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10- I think we're going to have to get this right.- Let's go for three.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12- You're going for three.- Yes, please.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14For three links, who am I?
0:35:14 > 0:35:15Here are your clues...
0:35:26 > 0:35:27Who am I?
0:35:27 > 0:35:28I'm trying to think of a clan.
0:35:28 > 0:35:30It's not going to be any of the big five.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32Lions and stuff are more rare.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36I know things like, maybe, buffalo or something like that.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37- Hyena.- Hyenas is actually good.
0:35:37 > 0:35:41In The Jungle Book, I think hyenas are female...
0:35:41 > 0:35:43I'm tempted...
0:35:43 > 0:35:44We're not sure.
0:35:44 > 0:35:46We're going to go for hyena.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Am I a hyena?
0:35:49 > 0:35:50APPLAUSE
0:35:56 > 0:35:58Cracking. Well done. Well done.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09That was amazing.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Twice you've turned the tables there.
0:36:12 > 0:36:13So, where did hyena come from?
0:36:13 > 0:36:16I remember seeing them in The Lion King eating...
0:36:16 > 0:36:17LAUGHTER
0:36:17 > 0:36:18..eating meat.
0:36:18 > 0:36:20OK. So, it is all about Walt Disney, is it?
0:36:20 > 0:36:21Yeah.
0:36:21 > 0:36:25Yeah, but what you did do was you said, "Not the big five."
0:36:25 > 0:36:28So, that was great teamwork, where you supported each other on that.
0:36:28 > 0:36:29In my opinion.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31Let's remove those links...
0:36:36 > 0:36:37And there it goes.
0:36:37 > 0:36:38APPLAUSE
0:36:38 > 0:36:39And the laughter...
0:36:41 > 0:36:44..and millions of African carnivores following it.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46£300. Matthew and Paddy,
0:36:46 > 0:36:49you're through to the final round and that cash goes with you.
0:36:49 > 0:36:51Which means, unfortunately, Sue and Rob,
0:36:51 > 0:36:56who have nursed your £4,375 all this way,
0:36:56 > 0:36:57you're going home.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00You can't beat that, can you? It's inspired.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02- You played brilliantly, though. - Thank you.
0:37:02 > 0:37:03Which is great.
0:37:03 > 0:37:06- Sue and Rob, thank you very much for playing The Link.- Thank you.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08It's time to say goodbye.
0:37:08 > 0:37:09- Goodbye.- Thank you.
0:37:09 > 0:37:10APPLAUSE
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Matthew and Paddy, you are today's finalists.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18- How are you feeling? - Surprised!- Surprised to be here.
0:37:18 > 0:37:19Yeah.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22And you brought £300 through to the super-link round,
0:37:22 > 0:37:25to which we are going to add £2,000.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28So, today, you are playing for £2,300.
0:37:28 > 0:37:29APPLAUSE
0:37:33 > 0:37:34What are you going to with that?
0:37:34 > 0:37:36I'd like to buy Super Bowl tickets for me and my dad
0:37:36 > 0:37:40to go over to Phoenix this year to go to the Super Bowl.
0:37:40 > 0:37:41- Matthew?- Save it.
0:37:41 > 0:37:43Put it away somewhere.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Or chip in and help Paddy get to the Super Bowl with his dad.
0:37:45 > 0:37:47AUDIENCE: Aw...!
0:37:47 > 0:37:49- And you could go as well, maybe? - I will.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Paddy, would that be acceptable?
0:37:51 > 0:37:53Oh, more than welcome. More than welcome.
0:37:53 > 0:37:56OK, so, we're looking for three tickets to the Super Bowl.
0:37:56 > 0:37:57Right, to take that money home,
0:37:57 > 0:38:00you have just 60 seconds to find six super-links.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02At each level,
0:38:02 > 0:38:05you will need to identify the link between ten clues.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07As soon as you think you know the answer,
0:38:07 > 0:38:09buzz and we'll stop the clock.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11If you're right, you can take that money home.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13But, choose to play on
0:38:13 > 0:38:16and your team-mate will step forward to tackle the next super-link.
0:38:16 > 0:38:19But, if you're wrong, play stays with you.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23We will restart the clock and you will face a new set of clues.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25If you run out of time, you leave with nothing.
0:38:26 > 0:38:29So, who's going to be the first to play?
0:38:29 > 0:38:30We're going to use the fairest method
0:38:30 > 0:38:33and use a British pound sterling and give it a flip.
0:38:33 > 0:38:35- Go on, then...- Tails never fails.
0:38:37 > 0:38:38Tails.
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Does that mean me? Do I get to choose?
0:38:40 > 0:38:41Whatever you want, man.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43I'll go. I'll go, get it out the way.
0:38:43 > 0:38:44LAUGHTER
0:38:44 > 0:38:45Are you going first?
0:38:45 > 0:38:46- Yeah.- OK.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49Matthew, you're on your own. There is no conferring.
0:38:49 > 0:38:52The clock will start when you see the first clue.
0:38:52 > 0:38:53- Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:39:06 > 0:39:07BUZZER
0:39:07 > 0:39:09Oil.
0:39:09 > 0:39:10Is the link oil?
0:39:11 > 0:39:12Good.
0:39:12 > 0:39:13APPLAUSE
0:39:13 > 0:39:15The remaining clues were...
0:39:17 > 0:39:19That puts you on...
0:39:19 > 0:39:21..£125.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25With 50 seconds remaining on the clock, you now have a choice.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28You can take that money and go or you can play on.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Yep. I think we'd like to play on, please.
0:39:31 > 0:39:32OK, good.
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Paddy, you're on your own. No conferring.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37The clock will restart when the first clue appears.
0:39:48 > 0:39:49BUZZER
0:39:49 > 0:39:51Like, young animals.
0:39:51 > 0:39:52Babies of animals.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55Is the link young animals?
