Hello. I'm Mark Williams and welcome to The Link, | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
where knowing the answers is only half the battle. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
To win this game, you have to find the link between the answers. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
Three teams are hoping to make the right connections, | 0:00:26 | 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 proficient, prepared and primed. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
My name is Sue. I'm a civil servant and this is my boyfriend. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:44 | |
My name is Rob. I am also a civil servant and we come from the Wirral. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:00:48 | 0:00:49 | |
How did you meet? | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
-We met online. -Right. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
There's a little bit more to it than that, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
-but shall we just say we met online? -We met online. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
What's the other bit, then? | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:01:01 | 0:01:02 | |
Well, we quickly realised | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
that we actually worked in the same building | 0:01:04 | 0:01:07 | |
and Rob worked on the floor below me. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
That's true. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:11 | |
So, it took an online meeting for you to connect over, what, | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
eight foot vertically? | 0:01:15 | 0:01:18 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:01:18 | 0:01:19 | |

Thank you. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:21 | |
Matthew and Paddy, introduce yourselves, please. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
I'm Matthew. I'm a primary school teacher and this is my best mate. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
My name's Paddy. I'm a doctor | 0:01:28 | 0:01:29 | |
and we're both from County Armagh in Northern Ireland. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:01:32 | 0:01:33 | |
I have to ask you this, can I just say bellybutton fluff? | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
That was... | 0:01:38 | 0:01:39 | |
That was a university thing. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
I decided it would be a good idea in first year | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
to collect a jar of bellybutton fluff. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
Right. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:48 | |
How big's the jar? | 0:01:48 | 0:01:50 | |
Didn't get too far. Didn't get too far. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:52 | |
We were both single back then as well. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
-OK. -As you can imagine. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:56 | |
So, your friendship is based around bellybutton fluff | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
and you're a teacher and a doctor? | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
Yes. Match made in heaven. | 0:02:02 | 0:02:03 | |
Fantastic. Matthew and Paddy, welcome. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
Thank you. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:08 | |
Lyanne and Terence, introduce yourselves. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
My name's Lyanne. I'm a dancer and model and this is my boyfriend. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
I'm Terence. I'm an interior designer | 0:02:14 | 0:02:15 | |
and we're both from London. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:17 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:02:17 | 0:02:18 | |
Right. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:19 | |
Lyanne, tell us about travel. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
Basically, with my job, my career, I went to New York, | 0:02:24 | 0:02:29 | |
and then straight after that I went to China for a year. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
How's your Chinese? Do you speak Mandarin? | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
Yi dian dian. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:36 | |
Yeah. Shi-shi. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:37 | |
And, Terence, you're connected with travel? | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
I've worked on quite a lot of hotels, like luxury hotels, | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
in a lot of other countries, | 0:02:44 | 0:02:46 | |
but I've never actually been to see them, so... | 0:02:46 | 0:02:48 | |
So, I just sit in an office and design them. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
You design hotels? It's a marriage made in heaven. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
Lyanne and Terence, welcome. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
Thank you. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:57 | |
Welcome, all. Now pay attention. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
Here are six cash pods | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
containing amounts ranging from £125 to £2,000. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
The more cash in the pod, the more links there are holding it. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
What you have to do is to cut the links holding the pods | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
until they drop down into your bank. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
And here's how you cut the links... | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
I'm going to ask you four questions | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
and you have to work out what links the answers. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
If you can guess the link from the first answer alone, | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
you'll be able to cut four of those links. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
If you spot it after the second answer, | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
you can cut three links. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
Then two. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:32 | |
Then one. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:33 | |
And of course, the link here is? | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
ALL: TV naturalists. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:42 | |
Brilliant. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:43 | |
Let's cut that link. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:46 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:03:48 | 0:03:50 | |
You need to bank as much cash as you can | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
because the team with the least amount of money | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
at the end of this round will be going home. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |

on smaller values for a quick-cash fix | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
or if you snip away on one of those higher-value pods. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |

However, you don't need to. Let's cut that link. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |

That money is now in these two cash pods... | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
..each held by seven links. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:12 | |
The first team to cut all the links and release their cash pod | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
takes that money through to the final round. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
The other team will be out. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:19 | |
And now you can be as brave or cautious as you like, | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
because you decide how many links you want to try to cut. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
I'm going to ask you to identify a person, | 0:27:25 | 0:27:28 | |
place or thing from a series of clues | 0:27:28 | 0:27:31 | |
and you tell me whether you want to play for | 0:27:31 | 0:27:33 | |
one, two, three or four links. | 0:27:33 | 0:27:35 | |
But the more links you play for, the fewer clues you'll receive. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:39 | |
If you do not spot the link, | 0:27:39 | 0:27:41 | |
your opponents will see all the clues | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
for the chance to cut a single link from their cash pod. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:47 | |
Sue and Rob, you've brought the most money through to this round, | 0:27:47 | 0:27:50 | |
so you get to decide if you want to play first or second. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
See how it's done? | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
Yeah. Yeah. Can we play second, please? | 0:27:55 | 0:27:58 | |

APPLAUSE | 0:35:49 | 0:35:50 | |
Cracking. Well done. Well done. | 0:35:56 | 0:35:58 | |
That was amazing. | 0:36:07 | 0:36:09 | |
Twice you've turned the tables there. | 0:36:09 | 0:36:12 | |
So, where did hyena come from? | 0:36:12 | 0:36:13 | |
I remember seeing them in The Lion King eating... | 0:36:13 | 0:36:16 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:36:16 | 0:36:17 | |
..eating meat. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:18 | |
OK. So, it is all about Walt Disney, is it? | 0:36:18 | 0:36:20 | |
Yeah. | 0:36:20 | 0:36:21 | |
Yeah, but what you did do was you said, "Not the big five." | 0:36:21 | 0:36:25 | |
So, that was great teamwork, where you supported each other on that. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:28 | |
In my opinion. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:29 | |
Let's remove those links... | 0:36:29 | 0:36:31 | |
And there it goes. | 0:36:36 | 0:36:37 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:36:37 | 0:36:38 | |
And the laughter... | 0:36:38 | 0:36:39 | |
..and millions of African carnivores following it. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:44 | |
£300. Matthew and Paddy, | 0:36:44 | 0:36:46 | |
you're through to the final round and that cash goes with you. | 0:36:46 | 0:36:49 | |
Which means, unfortunately, Sue and Rob, | 0:36:49 | 0:36:51 | |
who have nursed your £4,375 all this way, | 0:36:51 | 0:36:56 | |
you're going home. | 0:36:56 | 0:36:57 | |
You can't beat that, can you? It's inspired. | 0:36:57 | 0:37:00 | |
-You played brilliantly, though. -Thank you. | 0:37:00 | 0:37:02 | |
Which is great. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:03 | |
-Sue and Rob, thank you very much for playing The Link. -Thank you. | 0:37:03 | 0:37:06 | |
It's time to say goodbye. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:08 | |
-Goodbye. -Thank you. | 0:37:08 | 0:37:09 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:37:09 | 0:37:10 | |
Matthew and Paddy, you are today's finalists. | 0:37:12 | 0:37:15 | |
-How are you feeling? -Surprised! -Surprised to be here. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:18 | |
Yeah. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:19 | |
And you brought £300 through to the super-link round, | 0:37:19 | 0:37:22 | |
to which we are going to add £2,000. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:25 | |
So, today, you are playing for £2,300. | 0:37:26 | 0:37:28 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:37:28 | 0:37:29 | |
What are you going to with that? | 0:37:33 | 0:37:34 | |
I'd like to buy Super Bowl tickets for me and my dad | 0:37:34 | 0:37:36 | |
to go over to Phoenix this year to go to the Super Bowl. | 0:37:36 | 0:37:40 | |
-Matthew? -Save it. | 0:37:40 | 0:37:41 | |
Put it away somewhere. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:43 | |
Or chip in and help Paddy get to the Super Bowl with his dad. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:45 | |
AUDIENCE: Aw...! | 0:37:45 | 0:37:47 | |
-And you could go as well, maybe? -I will. | 0:37:47 | 0:37:49 | |
Paddy, would that be acceptable? | 0:37:49 | 0:37:51 | |
Oh, more than welcome. More than welcome. | 0:37:51 | 0:37:53 | |
OK, so, we're looking for three tickets to the Super Bowl. | 0:37:53 | 0:37:56 | |
Right, to take that money home, | 0:37:56 | 0:37:57 | |
you have just 60 seconds to find six super-links. | 0:37:57 | 0:38:00 | |
At each level, | 0:38:00 | 0:38:02 | |
you will need to identify the link between ten clues. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:05 | |
As soon as you think you know the answer, | 0:38:05 | 0:38:07 | |
buzz and we'll stop the clock. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:09 | |
If you're right, you can take that money home. | 0:38:09 | 0:38:11 | |
But, choose to play on | 0:38:11 | 0:38:13 | |
and your team-mate will step forward to tackle the next super-link. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:16 | |
But, if you're wrong, play stays with you. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:19 | |
We will restart the clock and you will face a new set of clues. | 0:38:19 | 0:38:23 | |
If you run out of time, you leave with nothing. | 0:38:23 | 0:38:25 | |
So, who's going to be the first to play? | 0:38:26 | 0:38:29 | |
We're going to use the fairest method | 0:38:29 | 0:38:30 | |
and use a British pound sterling and give it a flip. | 0:38:30 | 0:38:33 | |
-Go on, then... -Tails never fails. | 0:38:33 | 0:38:35 | |
Tails. | 0:38:37 | 0:38:38 | |
Does that mean me? Do I get to choose? | 0:38:38 | 0:38:40 | |
Whatever you want, man. | 0:38:40 | 0:38:41 | |
I'll go. I'll go, get it out the way. | 0:38:41 | 0:38:43 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:38:43 | 0:38:44 | |
Are you going first? | 0:38:44 | 0:38:45 | |
-Yeah. -OK. | 0:38:45 | 0:38:46 | |
Matthew, you're on your own. There is no conferring. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:49 | |
The clock will start when you see the first clue. | 0:38:49 | 0:38:52 | |
-Are you ready? -Yeah. | 0:38:52 | 0:38:53 | |
BUZZER | 0:39:06 | 0:39:07 | |
Oil. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:09 | |
Is the link oil? | 0:39:09 | 0:39:10 | |
Good. | 0:39:11 | 0:39:12 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:39:12 | 0:39:13 | |
The remaining clues were... | 0:39:13 | 0:39:15 | |
That puts you on... | 0:39:17 | 0:39:19 | |
..£125. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:21 | |
With 50 seconds remaining on the clock, you now have a choice. | 0:39:22 | 0:39:25 | |
You can take that money and go or you can play on. | 0:39:25 | 0:39:28 | |
Yep. I think we'd like to play on, please. | 0:39:28 | 0:39:31 | |
OK, good. | 0:39:31 | 0:39:32 | |
Paddy, you're on your own. No conferring. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:34 | |
The clock will restart when the first clue appears. | 0:39:34 | 0:39:37 | |
BUZZER | 0:39:48 | 0:39:49 | |
Like, young animals. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:51 | |
Babies of animals. | 0:39:51 | 0:39:52 | |
Is the link young animals? | 0:39:53 | 0:39:55 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:39:57 | 0:39:58 | |
You were perfect. The remaining clues were... | 0:39:59 | 0:40:02 | |
Right, that puts you on... | 0:40:05 | 0:40:06 | |
..£300. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:08 | |
With 40 seconds remaining on the clock. | 0:40:10 | 0:40:12 | |
You have the choice now to take that money and go | 0:40:12 | 0:40:14 | |
or you can play on. | 0:40:14 | 0:40:16 | |
-Play on. All the way. -Crack on, please. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:18 | |
Right, Matthew, your turn now. No conferring. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:20 | |
The clock will restart when the first clue appears. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:22 | |
-Are you ready, Matthew? -Yep. -Stand by. | 0:40:22 | 0:40:24 | |
BUZZER | 0:40:35 | 0:40:37 | |
Guns, rifles... | 0:40:38 | 0:40:39 | |
Is the link guns? | 0:40:39 | 0:40:42 | |
No. the remaining clues were... | 0:40:43 | 0:40:45 | |
Parts of a steam locomotive or train. | 0:40:47 | 0:40:50 | |
That means the play stays with you, Matthew. | 0:40:51 | 0:40:54 | |
And you face a new super-link. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:56 | |
29 seconds left. The clock will restart when the first clue appears. | 0:40:56 | 0:40:59 | |
-Are you ready? -Yeah. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:01 | |
BUZZER | 0:41:14 | 0:41:15 | |
Oh... | 0:41:16 | 0:41:17 | |
Oh, you're out of time. | 0:41:19 | 0:41:21 | |
Did you know, Paddy? | 0:41:21 | 0:41:23 | |
I've got to say, I don't. I don't. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:24 | |
Good. That must make Matthew feel better. The answer was... | 0:41:24 | 0:41:27 | |
I don't know if I believe him or not. | 0:41:27 | 0:41:28 | |
Madonna songs. The last one was Vogue. | 0:41:30 | 0:41:33 | |
I can't do it. | 0:41:35 | 0:41:37 | |
Right, I think you know what's happening now, Matthew. | 0:41:37 | 0:41:39 | |
Play stays with you and you face a new super-link | 0:41:39 | 0:41:42 | |
with 17 seconds left. | 0:41:42 | 0:41:44 | |
The clock will restart when the first clue appears. | 0:41:44 | 0:41:47 | |
BUZZER | 0:42:01 | 0:42:02 | |
Er... | 0:42:04 | 0:42:05 | |
Trains in Thomas The Tank Engine. | 0:42:05 | 0:42:07 | |
Is the link trains in Thomas The Tank Engine? | 0:42:08 | 0:42:11 | |
No. | 0:42:12 | 0:42:13 | |
-The Weasleys. -I should have watched them. | 0:42:14 | 0:42:16 | |
Big family. The remaining clue was Ron. | 0:42:16 | 0:42:19 | |
Which means play stays with you, Matthew. | 0:42:19 | 0:42:21 | |
And you face a new super-link with four seconds left. | 0:42:21 | 0:42:25 | |
The clock will restart when the first clue appears. | 0:42:25 | 0:42:27 | |
Good luck. | 0:42:27 | 0:42:28 | |
BUZZER | 0:42:33 | 0:42:34 | |
Hens. | 0:42:35 | 0:42:36 | |

Oh... | 0:42:40 | 0:42:41 | |
The remaining clues were... | 0:42:41 | 0:42:43 | |
All collective nouns for fish. | 0:42:48 | 0:42:50 | |
Matthew and Paddy, you're out of time, | 0:42:50 | 0:42:53 | |
so you're leaving with nothing. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:54 | |
Any thoughts? | 0:42:56 | 0:42:57 | |
I think we had all our luck earlier on. We can't complain. | 0:42:57 | 0:43:00 | |
I don't think it was luck. | 0:43:00 | 0:43:01 | |
Well, we got to the final. That's all we can ask. | 0:43:01 | 0:43:03 | |
You did really well. | 0:43:03 | 0:43:04 | |
The boys would have given us a hard time if we'd gone out early, so... | 0:43:04 | 0:43:07 | |
-OK, yeah. -At least we can hold our head up high. | 0:43:07 | 0:43:10 | |
-You did not bottle it. -Until the end. | 0:43:10 | 0:43:12 | |
Thank you, Matthew and Paddy, for playing The Link. | 0:43:12 | 0:43:14 | |
-Thanks very much. -Thanks very much, guys. | 0:43:14 | 0:43:16 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:43:16 | 0:43:17 | |
