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

0:00:180:00:20

where knowing the answers is only half the battle.

0:00:200:00:22

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

0:00:220:00:26

Three teams are hoping to make the right connections,

0:00:260:00:29

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

0:00:290:00:32

Let's see who has their wits about them, or at the very least,

0:00:320:00:35

somewhere close by.

0:00:350:00:37

I'm Chris, I'm a background actor

0:00:410:00:43

from London, and this is my friend.

0:00:430:00:46

I'm Adrian, I am also a supporting artist.

0:00:460:00:49

APPLAUSE

0:00:490:00:51

I have spent a lot of time working with supporting artists.

0:00:520:00:55

One time, I was on the set of Harry Potter

0:00:550:00:57

and I saw my accountant there.

0:00:570:00:59

I went, "Harry, what are you doing?"

0:00:590:01:01

He said "Well, it's just... I do it sometimes."

0:01:010:01:04

So I never underestimate supporting artists.

0:01:040:01:08

Hello, Chris and Adrian, thanks for coming on the show.

0:01:080:01:11

-Welcome.

-Thank you.

-Angela and Debbie, introduce yourselves.

0:01:110:01:15

I'm Angela, I'm an exam invigilator,

0:01:150:01:17

and this is my friend and neighbour.

0:01:170:01:20

I'm Debbie, I'm a housewife, I'm from south Leicestershire.

0:01:200:01:23

APPLAUSE

0:01:230:01:25

Whereabouts in south Leicestershire are you from?

0:01:250:01:27

-We are both from Peatling Parva.

-Oh, are you?

0:01:270:01:30

It's a very small village, it's got no shops or anything like that.

0:01:300:01:33

Is that what Parva means? It means "little", doesn't it?

0:01:330:01:35

-Little, yes.

-Aww.

-Little Peatling.

0:01:350:01:37

-Little Angela and little Debbie. Hello, welcome.

-Hello.

0:01:370:01:41

Edd and Tom, introduce yourselves.

0:01:410:01:43

I'm Edd, I am a healthcare scientist,

0:01:430:01:45

and this is my best friend and best man.

0:01:450:01:47

I'm Tom, I'm a teacher, and I'm from Boston in Lincolnshire.

0:01:470:01:51

APPLAUSE

0:01:510:01:52

-Boston. Brilliant. Where the Stump is.

-BOTH: Yeah!

0:01:520:01:56

So, when you say healthcare scientist, which branch?

0:01:560:02:00

Cardiology - I look after people with pacemakers.

0:02:000:02:02

Well, well done.

0:02:020:02:03

If I need you, I'll know where to find you.

0:02:030:02:06

Edd and Tom, welcome. Welcome, all.

0:02:060:02:09

Now, pay attention.

0:02:090:02:11

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

0:02:110:02:18

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

0:02:180:02:21

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

0:02:210:02:24

until they drop down into your bank.

0:02:240:02:27

Here is how you cut the links.

0:02:270:02:29

I am going to ask you four questions,

0:02:290:02:31

and you have to work out what links the answers.

0:02:310:02:34

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

0:02:340:02:37

you will be able to cut four of those links.

0:02:370:02:40

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

0:02:400:02:43

Then two, then one.

0:02:430:02:47

Rob, Kourtney, Khloe, Kim - and of course the link here is...?

0:02:470:02:51

-ANEGLA AND DEBBIE: Kardashians.

-The Kardashians - bless them.

0:02:510:02:55

Let's cut that link.

0:02:550:02:57

You need to bank as much cash as you can, because the team with

0:03:000:03:03

the least amount of money at the end of this round will be going home.

0:03:030:03:07

Let's play The Link.

0:03:070:03:09

Stand by - here is your first question. For four links...

0:04:450:04:49

Think very carefully about whether you want to

0:04:490:04:51

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

0:04:510:04:54

or if you snip away at one of those higher-value pods.

So, you got two links, what are you going to do with them?

0:26:580:27:03

Let's get on with it.

0:27:030:27:04

-Can we take the £500, please?

-Of course you can.

0:27:040:27:07

Which means Edd and Tom with £2,300 in their bank

0:27:150:27:19

and Angela and Debbie with £1,375

0:27:190:27:23

recently in their bank are going

0:27:230:27:25

through to the next round, but Chris and Adrian, you only got £1,000,

0:27:250:27:30

but Chris, I have to say,

0:27:300:27:32

best hair/shirt combination I have ever seen.

0:27:320:27:35

-Sadly, we have to say goodbye. Cheers.

-Thank you.

-Bye-bye.

0:27:350:27:40

APPLAUSE

0:27:400:27:43

Edd and Tom and Angela and Debbie,

0:27:430:27:46

you are still in the game.

0:27:460:27:48

Edd and Tom, so far,

0:27:480:27:50

you have banked £2,300.

0:27:500:27:52

Angela and Debbie, you banked £1,375,

0:27:520:27:56

that money is now in these two cash pods.

0:27:560:28:00

Each held by seven links. The first team to cut all the links

0:28:000:28:03

and release their cash pod

0:28:030:28:05

takes that money through to the final round.

0:28:050:28:07

The other team will be out.

0:28:070:28:09

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

0:28:090:28:12

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

0:28:120:28:16

I am going to ask you to identify a person,

0:28:160:28:19

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

0:28:190:28:22

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

0:28:220:28:26

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

0:28:260:28:31

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

0:28:310:28:34

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

0:28:340:28:39

Edd and Tom have brought the most money through to this round,

0:28:390:28:42

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

0:28:420:28:47

-What do you reckon?

-First.

-We will go first, please.

0:28:470:28:49

Edd and Tom, round two.

0:28:490:28:52

Your first question is asking...

0:28:520:28:54

How many links do you want to play for?

0:28:550:28:58

-Two.

-OK, yeah.

0:28:580:29:00

Two.

0:29:000:29:01

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

0:29:010:29:04

Who am I?

0:29:190:29:20

Laurel and Hardy?

0:29:200:29:22

Are we Laurel and Hardy?

0:29:220:29:24

Yes.

0:29:250:29:26

Of course we are.

0:29:290:29:30

The remaining clue was...

0:29:300:29:32

Laurel and Hardy. You have got two links, let's cut them.

0:29:380:29:42

Two from your seven, leaving five.

0:29:450:29:47

Angela and Debbie, your question will be asking...

0:29:470:29:50

How many links would you like to try for?

0:29:520:29:55

We would like to try for two, please.

0:29:550:29:56

OK, for two links, here are your clues. What am I?

0:29:560:30:00

What am I?

0:30:190:30:20

Is it Mount Rushmore?

0:30:200:30:22

Am I Mount Rushmore?

0:30:220:30:23

No.

0:30:240:30:26

So, Edd and Tom, you have a chance to nick a link, I will show you

0:30:260:30:29

the last clue for a chance to cut a single link from your pod.

0:30:290:30:35

Grand Canyon?

0:30:400:30:41

Am I the Grand Canyon?

0:30:410:30:43

Yes. So, you nicked a link. Let's remove it.

0:30:470:30:50

You have four links left

0:30:520:30:53

and it is now your question, which will be asking...

0:30:530:30:56

How many links would you like to play for?

0:30:580:31:01

-Just go two again?

-OK.

-Two again.

0:31:010:31:03

For two links, here are your clues.

0:31:030:31:06

Who am I?

0:31:210:31:23

-I'm not sure. Any ideas?

-No.

0:31:230:31:25

Phill Jupitus.

0:31:250:31:27

Am I Phill Jupitus?

0:31:270:31:29

No. So, Angela and Debbie,

0:31:300:31:33

you now have a chance to nick a link to repay the boys for their theft.

0:31:330:31:38

I am going to show you the remaining clue.

0:31:380:31:41

I don't think it's...

0:31:480:31:50

Germaine Greer?

0:31:500:31:51

I wouldn't have thought Janet Street-Porter was on Naked City.

0:31:510:31:54

Would Germaine Greer have done a pop show?

0:31:550:31:58

-Don't know.

-No, I don't know.

0:31:580:32:00

Need an answer. Three seconds.

0:32:000:32:03

Janet Street-Porter?

0:32:030:32:05

Am I Janet Street-Porter?

0:32:050:32:06

No. Who am I?

0:32:080:32:11

No links removed.

0:32:110:32:14

We stay with Angela and Debbie for the next question,

0:32:140:32:17

which will be...

0:32:170:32:18

How many links do you want to play for?

0:32:200:32:22

-Two?

-Yeah.

-Can we go for two again, please?

0:32:220:32:25

Of course you can.

0:32:250:32:27

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

0:32:270:32:30

Who am I?

0:32:420:32:43

I don't know. It's not Napoleon, is it?

0:32:430:32:46

-Or shall we just say...?

-Yes.

0:32:460:32:47

Napoleon.

0:32:470:32:48

Am I Napoleon?

0:32:480:32:50

No. Right, Edd and Tom, you have a chance to nick a link.

0:32:510:32:54

Here is the remaining clue.

0:32:540:32:56

It's Garibaldi.

0:33:030:33:05

Am I Garibaldi?

0:33:050:33:06

Yes. Giuseppe Garibaldi,

0:33:080:33:09

tragically remembered mostly for squashed fly biscuits,

0:33:090:33:13

but was the leader of the Risorgimento in Italy.

0:33:130:33:17

Right, you have nicked a link.

0:33:170:33:18

Let's cut that link from your cash pod, leaving you with

0:33:180:33:23

three links, and it is your turn.

0:33:230:33:25

Your question will be asking...

0:33:250:33:27

How may links would you like to play for?

0:33:300:33:32

Just two.

0:33:320:33:33

For two links, Edd and Tom, here are your clues.

0:33:330:33:36

What am I?

0:33:360:33:37

What am I?

0:33:590:34:00

The Oscar statue.

0:34:020:34:03

Am I the Oscar statue?

0:34:030:34:04

The remaining clue was...

0:34:100:34:12

Let's cut those two links.

0:34:150:34:18

Leaving one.

0:34:210:34:23

Angela and Debbie, your question will be asking you...

0:34:230:34:26

How many links do you want to play for?

0:34:280:34:30

What do you think we need to do?

0:34:300:34:32

Do you think we need to go for broke or what?

0:34:320:34:34

Or shall we just go for two again?

0:34:340:34:36

-We'll go for two.

-We'll go for two again.

0:34:360:34:39

OK. Angela and Debbie are going for two links.

0:34:390:34:42

What am I? Here are your clues.

0:34:420:34:44

What am I?

0:35:000:35:01

Is it a peacock?

0:35:010:35:02

Am I a peacock?

0:35:020:35:04

Yes. The remaining clue was...

0:35:050:35:07

Aren't we all?

0:35:130:35:15

Right. Let's cut those two links.

0:35:150:35:18

Leaving five.

0:35:210:35:22

Edd and Tom, your question will be asking...

0:35:220:35:25

How many links do you want to play for?

0:35:280:35:30

Just the one remaining link.

0:35:300:35:31

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

0:35:310:35:35

Who am I?

0:35:530:35:54

Rory McIlroy.

0:35:540:35:55

Am I Rory McIlroy?

0:35:550:35:57

Let's remove that one link.

0:36:020:36:04

With an awful finality there,

0:36:060:36:09

£2,300 goes into Edd and Tom's bank,

0:36:090:36:12

well done, Edd and Tom, you are through to the final round

0:36:120:36:15

and that cash goes with you.

0:36:150:36:17

However, commiserations to Angela and Debbie, who played

0:36:170:36:21

a brilliant game, but we are going to have to say goodbye to you.

0:36:210:36:25

Did you enjoy it?

0:36:250:36:26

-Yes.

-Very much so.

0:36:260:36:28

Good. Angela and Debbie, goodbye.

0:36:280:36:31

APPLAUSE

0:36:310:36:35

Edd and Tom, you are today's finalists.

0:36:360:36:40

-How are you feeling?

-Good.

-Not bad.

0:36:400:36:42

You brought £2,300 through to the super-link round

0:36:420:36:46

and we are going to add £2,000 to that.

0:36:460:36:49

So today, you are playing for £4,300.

0:36:490:36:53

Reasonably easily divisible number.

0:36:570:37:00

What would you do with it?

0:37:000:37:02

-Most of it is going on our wedding next year.

-Tom?

0:37:020:37:06

I guess my part will be arranging his stag do!

0:37:060:37:09

-There you go then.

-Maybe.

0:37:090:37:11

Right then, so, best push on then!

0:37:110:37:13

Best make an effort and take it home.

0:37:130:37:16

To take that money home, you have just 60 seconds to find

0:37:160:37:20

six super-links.

0:37:200:37:22

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

0:37:220:37:27

As soon as you think you know the answer, buzz,

0:37:270:37:30

and we will stop the clock.

0:37:300:37:32

If you are right, you can take that money home.

0:37:320:37:34

But you choose to play on and your team-mate will step forward

0:37:340:37:37

to tackle the next super-link.

0:37:370:37:39

If you are wrong, play stays with you and we restart the clock

0:37:390:37:44

and you will face a new set of clues.

0:37:440:37:46

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

0:37:460:37:51

Who is going to play first?

0:37:510:37:53

Think I'm going to play first.

0:37:530:37:54

The groom is going to play first.

0:37:540:37:56

Edd, you are on your own. There is no conferring.

0:37:560:38:00

The clock will start when you see the first clue.

0:38:000:38:03

Let's see if you can find the link.

0:38:030:38:04

-Are you ready, Edd?

-I'm ready.

-Good.

0:38:040:38:07

Beds.

0:38:190:38:21

Is the link beds?

0:38:210:38:23

And the remaining clues were...

0:38:260:38:28

That puts you on £125.

0:38:310:38:34

Edd and Tom, with 50 seconds remaining on the clock,

0:38:350:38:39

you now have a choice.

0:38:390:38:40

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

0:38:400:38:44

-Play on.

-Play on, yeah.

0:38:440:38:45

Tom, you are on your own, no conferring.

0:38:450:38:48

The clock will restart when the first clue appears, stand by.

0:38:480:38:52

-You ready, Tom?

-I am.

0:38:520:38:53

Tom?

0:39:040:39:05

Er, female singers?

0:39:050:39:07

Is the link female singers?

0:39:070:39:09

No. The remaining girl band members were...

0:39:110:39:15

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

0:39:210:39:26

42 seconds remaining on the clock,

0:39:260:39:29

which will restart when the first clue appears.

0:39:290:39:32

-You ready?

-Yes.

0:39:320:39:33

Tom?

0:39:430:39:45

Jason Statham films.

0:39:450:39:48

Is the link Jason Statham films?

0:39:480:39:50

No. The answer is Sylvester Stallone.

0:39:520:39:55

The remaining were, apart from Assassins...

0:39:550:39:59

OK, Tom, steady your nerves, because play stays with you

0:40:010:40:06

and you now face a new super-link

0:40:060:40:08

with 32 seconds left.

0:40:080:40:11

The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:40:110:40:14

-You ready?

-Yes.

0:40:140:40:15

-Tom?

-England footballers?

0:40:230:40:25

Is the link England footballers?

0:40:250:40:28

Captains is what we wanted, and the remainder were...

0:40:310:40:34

Plenty of players.

0:40:380:40:40

Only one out of 11 is the captain, which means, Tom,

0:40:400:40:44

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

0:40:440:40:47

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

0:40:470:40:53

-You ready?

-Yes.

0:40:530:40:55

Stand by Tom.

0:40:550:40:56

No. Out of time.

0:41:160:41:18

The link was....

0:41:180:41:19

-I'm sorry.

-That's all right.

0:41:210:41:24

Again, Tom, I have to tell you,

0:41:240:41:26

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

0:41:260:41:31

You have 13 seconds left.

0:41:310:41:33

The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

0:41:330:41:36

Tom?

0:41:440:41:46

Theme parks.

0:41:460:41:47

Is the link theme parks?

0:41:470:41:50

Oh-ho! Ha-ha!

0:41:510:41:53

The relief!

0:41:560:41:58

And these were the remaining clues.

0:41:580:42:00

Theme parks. Right. That puts you on...

0:42:040:42:08

£300.

0:42:080:42:11

With six seconds remaining on the clock.

0:42:110:42:15

You now have a choice to take that money and go, or play on.

0:42:150:42:20

I think we are going to have to take it.

0:42:200:42:22

No point gambling for 200 when you lose 300, Tom.

0:42:220:42:25

It's not worth it.

0:42:250:42:26

Edd and Tom, you did not make it to today's top prize,

0:42:260:42:29

but you're going home with £300.

0:42:290:42:32

APPLAUSE

0:42:320:42:37

That is £150 each for the stag do.

0:42:370:42:41

LAUGHTER

0:42:410:42:43

Which isn't bad, I don't think!

0:42:430:42:44

Tom, you were very quick to buzz.

0:42:440:42:46

Do you think if you'd waited longer...

0:42:460:42:49

Yeah, I would have thought so.

0:42:490:42:50

Especially the England football captains.

0:42:500:42:52

Thank you, Edd and Tom, for playing The Link.

0:42:520:42:55

It was a pleasure to have you here. You played a blinder.

0:42:550:42:59

Goodbye.

0:43:000:43:02

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

0:43:030:43:07

See you then. Goodbye.

0:43:070:43:09
