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

0:00:170:00:20

where knowing the answers is only half the battle.

0:00:200:00:23

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

0:00:230:00:27

Three teams are hoping to make the right connections,

0:00:270:00:29

but only one of them can be in today's final.

0:00:290:00:33

Let's see who's got that linking feeling.

0:00:330:00:35

Alex and Bronagh, introduce yourselves.

0:00:400:00:42

I'm Alex, I'm a student from Manchester and this is my friend.

0:00:420:00:45

I'm Bronagh, I'm a student who studies in Manchester,

0:00:450:00:48

but I'm from Newcastle.

0:00:480:00:49

APPLAUSE

0:00:490:00:51

So why did you want to be on a quiz show?

0:00:510:00:54

Just to show off a little bit.

0:00:540:00:55

OK. Right then. Well, now's your chance.

0:00:550:00:59

Simon and Stacy, tell us about yourselves.

0:00:590:01:02

My name is Simon and I'm a life coach from London

0:01:020:01:05

and this is my beautiful wife.

0:01:050:01:08

And I'm Stacy and I'm a health coach.

0:01:080:01:10

I'm originally from America,

0:01:100:01:11

but now I live in London with my charming husband, Simon.

0:01:110:01:14

-APPLAUSE

-Aw.

0:01:140:01:17

What's a health coach?

0:01:190:01:20

I take care of the whole of your life,

0:01:200:01:23

but I'm also a chef, so I feed you into perfect health.

0:01:230:01:26

-Yes?

-All aspects of your life.

0:01:260:01:28

Marvellous. Lucky Simon.

0:01:280:01:30

-I get to eat all the wonderful food.

-Very good. Well done.

0:01:300:01:33

Adam and Sam, introduce yourselves.

0:01:330:01:36

I'm Adam, I'm 35 from Rossendale and I this is my friend.

0:01:360:01:39

I'm Sam, I live in Accrington, Lancashire,

0:01:390:01:41

and a work at a footwear import company.

0:01:410:01:43

APPLAUSE

0:01:430:01:46

So, you're importing footwear?

0:01:460:01:48

Yes, yeah.

0:01:480:01:50

Any specific type of footwear?

0:01:500:01:51

Ladies' shoes, men's shoes, kids' shoes. Something to suit you.

0:01:510:01:54

LAUGHTER

0:01:540:01:55

Suit me. Thank you very much. See what he did there?

0:01:550:01:58

Right, welcome all.

0:01:580:02:00

Now pay attention. Here are six cash pods

0:02:000:02:03

containing amounts ranging from £125 to £2,000.

0:02:030:02:07

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

0:02:070:02:11

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

0:02:110:02:13

until they drop down into your bank.

0:02:130:02:16

And here is how you cut the links.

0:02:160:02:18

I am going to ask you four questions

0:02:180:02:19

and you have to work out what links the answers.

0:02:190:02:22

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

0:02:220:02:24

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

0:02:240:02:27

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

0:02:270:02:31

then two, then one.

0:02:310:02:33

The link here, of course, is...

0:02:330:02:35

-ALL:

-Types of tea.

-Yes, very good.

0:02:350:02:37

Let's cut that link.

0:02:430:02:45

You need to bank as much cash as you can

0:02:500:02:52

because the team with the least amount of money

0:02:520:02:54

at the end of this round will be going home.

0:02:540:02:57

Let's play The Link.

Think carefully about whether you want to

0:05:130:05:16

cut a link on a smaller value for a quick cash fix,

0:05:160:05:18

or snip away at one of those bigger pods.

0:05:180:05:21

We'll take the £125.

0:22:490:22:51

Is the link names of popes?

0:22:510:22:53

APPLAUSE

0:22:540:22:57

The remaining clues were...

0:22:590:23:00

The Pope. We are giving you that,

0:23:040:23:05

although the Vatican City is not a Pope.

0:23:050:23:08

However, it is his home.

0:23:080:23:11

You have got four links to cut.

0:23:110:23:14

We will take four off the two grand, please.

There's £750 left on the board

0:23:390:23:41

and Alex and Bronagh haven't got any money in their bank.

However, still back in play.

0:24:270:24:29

Come on, girls. Stand by.

0:24:290:24:32

0:24:350:24:41

0:24:580:25:01

Is the link D-Day beaches?

0:25:130:25:15

APPLAUSE

0:25:190:25:21

D-Day beaches. Gold, Juno, Sword, Utah.

0:25:210:25:24

You got that on the third clue,

0:25:240:25:26

which means you have two links to cut.

0:25:260:25:29

-Shall we just carry on?

-Yes.

0:25:290:25:31

Let's carry on.

0:25:310:25:33

£750.

0:25:360:25:37

APPLAUSE

0:25:370:25:41

Simon and Stacy on £3,000 are going through to the next round.

0:25:410:25:44

Adam and Sam on £1,675 are going through to the next round,

0:25:440:25:50

but Alex and Bronagh aren't.

0:25:500:25:53

We have to say goodbye to you now. Thanks for playing.

0:25:530:25:55

-Au revoir.

-Thanks Alex, thanks Bronagh. See you.

0:25:550:25:58

Simon and Stacy, Adam and Sam, you are still in the game.

0:26:010:26:05

Simon and Stacy, so far

0:26:050:26:07

you've banked £3,000.

0:26:070:26:09

Adam and Sam, you banked £1,675.

0:26:090:26:13

That money is now in these two cash pods, each held by seven links.

0:26:130:26:19

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

0:26:190:26:22

takes that money through to the final round.

0:26:220:26:24

The other team will be out.

0:26:240:26:27

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

0:26:270:26:30

because you decide how many links you want to try to cut.

0:26:300:26:33

I'm going to ask you to identify a person, place or thing

0:26:330:26:37

from a series of clues and you tell me

0:26:370:26:39

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

0:26:390:26:44

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

0:26:440:26:47

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

0:26:470:26:51

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

0:26:510:26:55

Simon and Stacy have brought the most money through this round,

0:26:550:26:58

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

0:26:580:27:03

What do you think? First or second?

0:27:030:27:05

Let's get a jump on it.

0:27:050:27:07

Let's get a jump on it.

0:27:070:27:08

Right, let's play.

0:27:080:27:10

Stand by. Round Two.

0:27:120:27:14

Your first question is asking...

0:27:140:27:17

..what am I?

0:27:180:27:20

How many links would you like to play for?

0:27:200:27:23

We talked about this and we think to warm up,

0:27:230:27:26

we should play for two links.

0:27:260:27:27

For two links, here are your clues.

0:27:270:27:29

What am I?

0:27:510:27:53

The only clue that I've got, really, is around Sir Alex Ferguson,

0:27:530:27:57

and I think he managed Aberdeen beforehand.

0:27:570:28:00

And Aberdeen, isn't that...?

0:28:000:28:01

-So, what am I? The city of Aberdeen, that's what I think.

-OK.

0:28:010:28:06

Am I Aberdeen?

0:28:060:28:08

Good.

0:28:090:28:11

-APPLAUSE

-The other clue was...

0:28:110:28:13

Let's cut two links.

0:28:170:28:19

Leaving you with five.

0:28:230:28:25

Adam and Sam, your question will be asking...

0:28:250:28:28

..what am I?

0:28:290:28:31

How many links do you want to try and cut?

0:28:310:28:32

-We'll warm up with two as well, please.

-You'll warm up with two.

0:28:320:28:35

Yeah, we'll warm up with two.

0:28:350:28:36

OK, for two links, here are your clues.

0:28:360:28:39

What am I?

0:28:390:28:40

-Big Girls Don't Cry.

-What am I?

-You're the musicals specialist.

0:28:580:29:01

That's a song by the Beach Boys, isn't it? Isn't it?

0:29:010:29:04

-Big Girls Don't Cry?

-Well, what's the musical?

0:29:040:29:07

# Big girls don't cry They don't cry. #

0:29:070:29:10

-It was that.

-Yeah, but it's a Broadway show, isn't it?

0:29:100:29:14

Who is John Lloyd Young?

0:29:140:29:16

So, it's a man, so it could be the Beach Boys.

0:29:160:29:18

Male role. That's not a Broad... Is there a Beach Boys Story?

0:29:180:29:22

-Could be.

-Need an answer, please. You're running out of time.

0:29:220:29:25

Do you want to go that? The Beach Boys Story.

0:29:250:29:29

Am I the Beach Boys Story?

0:29:290:29:31

No.

0:29:330:29:34

Simon and Stacy, you have a chance to nick a link.

0:29:340:29:38

You will see the remaining clue

0:29:380:29:39

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

0:29:390:29:43

Here it is.

0:29:430:29:44

What am I?

0:29:500:29:51

Jersey Boys.

0:29:510:29:53

So, I thought that Big Girls Don't Cry was by Frankie Valli.

0:29:540:29:59

-And you think it's the Jersey Boys.

-The Jersey Boys.

0:30:000:30:03

So, I think it might be that, the Jersey Boys.

0:30:030:30:07

Am I the Jersey Boys?

0:30:070:30:09

Yes.

0:30:100:30:12

Excellent. So you nicked a link. Let's cut it from your cash pod.

0:30:150:30:20

Leaving only four links. And now it's your turn.

0:30:220:30:25

Your question will be asking...

0:30:250:30:27

..what am I?

0:30:290:30:30

How many links would you like to try and cut?

0:30:300:30:32

-I think we will stick with a winning formula.

-Winning formula.

0:30:320:30:36

And go with two, please.

0:30:360:30:38

For two links, here are your clues. What am I? Stand by.

0:30:380:30:41

What am I?

0:31:030:31:04

Looks like an iPhone, but I don't think that was ever made of wood.

0:31:050:31:09

No.

0:31:090:31:10

Now from plastic. A billion of me.

0:31:100:31:13

Play word. Play well. PlayStation?

0:31:140:31:17

-I don't know.

-Play...

0:31:170:31:20

Is it not...? I think I might know what it is.

0:31:220:31:24

-Need an answer.

-Bluetooth.

0:31:240:31:26

Am I Bluetooth?

0:31:260:31:28

No.

0:31:290:31:31

Adam and Sam, you have a chance to nick a link.

0:31:310:31:33

You will see the remaining clue.

0:31:330:31:34

Lego.

0:31:380:31:39

-What am I?

-Lego.

0:31:420:31:44

Am I Lego?

0:31:440:31:45

-Yes.

-APPLAUSE

0:31:460:31:49

So, you nicked a link. Let's cut it from your cash pod.

0:31:500:31:53

Leaving six links. And now it's your turn.

0:31:550:31:59

Your question will be asking...

0:31:590:32:01

How many links do you want to play for?

0:32:040:32:07

-Can we go for two links, please?

-OK.

0:32:070:32:08

For two links, here are your clues. Stand by.

0:32:080:32:11

-What am I?

-You are tin.

0:32:310:32:33

Tin.

0:32:330:32:34

-ADAM LAUGHS

-Am I tin? Are you tin?

0:32:340:32:37

I am tin.

0:32:370:32:38

-APPLAUSE

-The remaining clue was...

0:32:380:32:41

..and soup.

0:32:450:32:47

Tin, correct.

0:32:470:32:48

Let's cut those two links.

0:32:480:32:50

Leaving you with four.

0:32:530:32:55

Simon and Stacy, you too have four links

0:32:550:32:58

and your question will be asking...

0:32:580:33:01

-How many links do you want to go for?

-Two.

0:33:030:33:06

You want to go for two?

0:33:060:33:07

Or we could put some pressure on by going for three.

0:33:070:33:09

Pressure on who?

0:33:090:33:10

Well said. Well said, Stacy. Yeah.

0:33:110:33:14

-We'll go for two.

-Well listened, Simon.

0:33:140:33:16

For two links, here are your clues. Who am I?

0:33:160:33:19

Who am I?

0:33:390:33:40

The only person that comes to my mind,

0:33:420:33:45

and it is probably not her, is...

0:33:450:33:47

It might be her.

0:33:470:33:49

..is Elizabeth Hurley, but I don't know why I think that.

0:33:490:33:51

She's not American, though, is she?

0:33:510:33:53

That doesn't matter.

0:33:530:33:56

-Let's try that.

-I need an answer.

0:33:560:33:59

-The only thing I have got is Elizabeth Hurley.

-Right.

0:33:590:34:01

Am I Elizabeth Hurley?

0:34:010:34:03

Ah, no.

0:34:050:34:06

Adam and Sam, you have a chance to nick a link.

0:34:060:34:09

Here is the remaining clue.

0:34:090:34:10

Who am I?

0:34:150:34:16

You're Emma Watson.

0:34:160:34:17

Am I Emma Watson?

0:34:170:34:19

Yep.

0:34:210:34:22

You have nicked a link.

0:34:240:34:26

Let's remove it.

0:34:260:34:28

Leaving you three links.

0:34:280:34:30

And it is now your turn.

0:34:300:34:32

Your question will be asking...

0:34:320:34:34

How many links would you like to play for?

0:34:370:34:38

-I'd say go for two.

-Two again?

0:34:380:34:40

For two links, here are your clues. Stand by.

0:34:400:34:43

What am I?

0:34:430:34:45

Water or...? Do you know?

0:35:120:35:13

The only thing I can think of, water with vegetable oil,

0:35:130:35:16

it could be margarine. I don't think that's made in the 1860s.

0:35:160:35:18

It's more plastic, and margarine is not Greek for pearl.

0:35:180:35:21

I think it's margarine. I think.

0:35:210:35:23

I'd like to try margarine.

0:35:230:35:25

-Need an answer.

-Margarine?

0:35:260:35:28

Am I margarine?

0:35:280:35:30

Yes. The remaining clue was...

0:35:340:35:37

The Greek for pearl is margaron.

0:35:390:35:42

Let's cut your two links.

0:35:420:35:44

Leaving one.

0:35:470:35:48

Simon and Stacy, your question will be asking...

0:35:480:35:52

How many links would you like to play for?

0:35:540:35:57

-The pressure is on.

-Yes, it's on now.

-We could go for four.

0:35:570:36:00

That's what we are here for, isn't it? Yeah, we'll go four.

0:36:000:36:02

-OK.

-You better get smart.

-Good.

-Really fast.

0:36:020:36:04

Right, for four links.

0:36:040:36:07

Here is your clue. What am I?

0:36:070:36:09

So, this is the point where we change our mind. Hmm.

0:36:160:36:19

"I am reputed to have been first celebrated in 1621."

0:36:190:36:23

Parties.

0:36:230:36:25

Some type of opening of a city.

0:36:250:36:28

-Have you got anything?

-Um...

0:36:280:36:31

Guy Fawkes night.

0:36:310:36:33

Am I Guy Fawkes night?

0:36:330:36:36

No.

0:36:370:36:38

Right, Adam and Sam, with one link left you have chance to nick a link

0:36:380:36:43

and you will see the remaining clues.

0:36:430:36:45

Here they are.

0:36:450:36:47

..turkey dinner!

0:37:100:37:12

Yeah, Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving.

0:37:120:37:14

Am I Thanksgiving?

0:37:140:37:16

-APPLAUSE

-I sure am.

0:37:170:37:20

Adam and Sam, you have nicked a link and there it goes.

0:37:220:37:25

APPLAUSE

0:37:290:37:31

So, well done, Adam and Sam.

0:37:310:37:33

You are through to the next round, and that cash goes with you.

0:37:330:37:36

Commiserations, Stacy and Simon.

0:37:360:37:39

Anyway, it was a real pleasure having you play the game.

0:37:390:37:42

-It was fun.

-It was fun, yeah.

0:37:420:37:43

You played a great game, but I'm afraid, time to say goodbye.

0:37:430:37:46

-Thanks for playing The Link.

-Bye! Good luck.

0:37:460:37:49

Adam and Sam, you are today's finalists.

0:37:520:37:56

You have brought £1,675 through to the final round,

0:37:560:38:00

to which we will add £2,000.

0:38:000:38:03

Making that

0:38:040:38:05

a total in your bank

0:38:050:38:07

of a possible £3,675

0:38:070:38:10

to take away.

0:38:100:38:12

What would you do with it?

0:38:120:38:13

-Holiday.

-Yeah.

-I think a little bit of a holiday.

0:38:130:38:15

-Contribution for a holiday.

-Calm yourselves.

0:38:150:38:17

OK, good.

0:38:170:38:19

To take that money home, you have just 60 seconds

0:38:190:38:21

to find six super-links.

0:38:210:38:25

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

0:38:250:38:29

As soon as you think you know the answer,

0:38:290:38:31

buzz in and we'll stop the clock.

0:38:310:38:32

If you're right, you can take that money home, but choose to play on,

0:38:320:38:36

and your team-mate will step forward to tackle the next super-link.

0:38:360:38:40

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

0:38:400:38:44

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

0:38:440:38:47

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

0:38:470:38:50

Who's going to play first?

0:38:500:38:52

I think I'll play first.

0:38:520:38:53

Sam, you are on your own, no conferring.

0:38:530:38:56

The clock will start when you see the first clue.

0:38:560:38:58

Let's see if you can find the link.

0:38:580:39:01

Phixx.

0:39:060:39:07

LFO.

0:39:070:39:09

Sam?

0:39:150:39:17

Boybands.

0:39:170:39:18

Is the link boybands?

0:39:180:39:20

-Yep.

-APPLAUSE

0:39:210:39:24

Backstreet Boys, and the final clues were...

0:39:240:39:26

That puts you on £125.

0:39:300:39:33

Adam and Sam, with 50 seconds remaining on the clock,

0:39:360:39:39

you now have a choice.

0:39:390:39:40

You can take that money and go or you can play on.

0:39:400:39:43

We're playing on.

0:39:430:39:45

Adam, you are on your own now, no conferring.

0:39:450:39:47

The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:39:470:39:50

-Adam.

-Is it Grand National?

0:39:580:40:00

Is the link Grand National?

0:40:000:40:01

No - high.

0:40:020:40:04

And the remaining clues were...

0:40:040:40:07

And the link was high.

0:40:090:40:12

Which means play stays with you and you now face a new super-link.

0:40:120:40:17

44 seconds left, the clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:40:170:40:21

Basil.

0:40:230:40:24

Magic Roundabout.

0:40:370:40:39

Is the link Magic Roundabout?

0:40:390:40:41

That puts you on £300.

0:40:430:40:45

With 31 seconds on the clock, you have the choice.

0:40:470:40:51

You can take that money and go home or you can play on.

0:40:510:40:54

-I'm ready, yeah.

-Right, he's up.

0:40:540:40:55

Sam, your turn now. No conferring.

0:40:550:40:57

The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:40:570:41:01

Frigg.

0:41:010:41:02

Vikings gods.

0:41:180:41:20

Is the link Viking gods?

0:41:200:41:23

Oh, we'll have that!

0:41:260:41:28

The last piece in the jigsaw was...

0:41:280:41:30

That puts you on £500.

0:41:320:41:36

APPLAUSE

0:41:360:41:38

With 18 seconds remaining on the clock.

0:41:380:41:41

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

0:41:410:41:46

-Shall we do it, then?

-Let's do it.

0:41:460:41:48

There we go. The hand goes to the shoulder,

0:41:480:41:50

which means, Adam, it's your turn now.

0:41:500:41:52

The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:41:520:41:55

Eddie Murphy films.

0:42:080:42:09

Yes!

0:42:100:42:11

Is the link Eddie Murphy films?

0:42:110:42:15

-Correct!

-APPLAUSE

0:42:150:42:18

The remaining clues were...

0:42:180:42:21

Yes, Eddie Murphy films. Right, that puts you on...

0:42:240:42:27

..£750.

0:42:290:42:31

With eight seconds remaining on the clock,

0:42:320:42:34

you have to decide whether you're going to take that money and go

0:42:340:42:37

or, Sam, whether you're going to play on.

0:42:370:42:40

I don't think we need to discuss it, do we?

0:42:400:42:42

-Yeah.

-We'll leave some prize money left there.

0:42:420:42:44

We'll take the £750, please.

0:42:440:42:46

-They're going to go.

-We'll take the money.

-We'll take the money.

0:42:460:42:49

Adam and Sam, you didn't make it to today's top prize,

0:42:490:42:51

but you're going home with 750 quid.

0:42:510:42:55

APPLAUSE

0:42:550:42:58

Adam and Sam, it's been a real pleasure

0:42:580:43:00

-having you playing The Link.

-Thank you.

0:43:000:43:02

You've been excellent contestants and I'm really pleased

0:43:020:43:05

you're going home with 750 quid and I hope it gives you great pleasure.

0:43:050:43:09

Really enjoyed it.

0:43:090:43:11

-Thanks very much.

-Thank you.

0:43:110:43:13

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

0:43:130:43:17

See you then. Goodbye.
