0:00:29 > 0:00:32but only one of them can be in today's final.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Let's see who has the omnipotence and optimism

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Do they? Russell, can I ask you about pugs?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59Well, I thought if we won, potentially
0:01:59 > 0:02:04I could buy six pugs and we could breed how many chugs we wanted.
0:02:04 > 0:02:10Chugs. Right, OK, slightly sinister, but not really.
0:02:10 > 0:02:11In the farming sense...
0:02:11 > 0:02:13LAUGHTER

0:02:32 > 0:02:34APPLAUSE
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- Lizzie, can I ask you about football?- Yep.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40I used to play football from the age of about five years old,
0:02:40 > 0:02:42I recently stopped playing.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43Why did you stop playing?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Too many bruises on my legs when I wear dresses for nights out.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Were you a defender?
0:02:48 > 0:02:50No, I was in the middle of the park, a midfielder.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54OK. Julie, when did you notice Lizzie was good at football?
0:02:54 > 0:02:55Ooh, when she was very small.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57She used to play in the garden with her dad
0:02:57 > 0:03:00and then she started playing with boys all the time and...
0:03:00 > 0:03:03LAUGHTER
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Constantly on a football pitch so she was very much into it.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Do you think you would have been a good footballer?
0:03:10 > 0:03:11Ooh, absolutely not.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15I am much more into watching things than partaking in things.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Me, too. Julie and Lizzie, welcome.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20BOTH: Thank you.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Welcome, all, now pay attention.
0:03:22 > 0:03:27Here are six cash pods containing amounts ranging from £125-£2,000.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31The more cash in the pod, the more links there are holding it.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33What you have to do is cut the links holding the pods
0:03:33 > 0:03:35until they drop down into your bank.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Here is how you cut the links.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I am going to ask you four questions
0:03:40 > 0:03:42and you have to work out what links the answers.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45If you can guess the link from the first answer alone,
0:03:45 > 0:03:47you'll be able to cut four of those links.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50If you spot it after the second answer, you can cut three links.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Then two. Then one.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Bossy, naughty, sunshine, chatterbox, what's the link here?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59ALL: Little Miss characters.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Little Miss characters.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Let's take one from the 125.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06APPLAUSE
0:04:08 > 0:04:11You need to bank as much cash as you can because the team with
0:04:11 > 0:04:14the least amount of money at the end of this round will be going home.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15Let's play The Link.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20APPLAUSE
0:04:20 > 0:04:22Round One, stand by.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27Here is your first question, for four links. The Trevi, dell'Ovato...

0:04:50 > 0:04:54I don't know, sightseeing things I think is better.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Monument-type things.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Tourist attractions!
0:04:58 > 0:05:00Are they tourist attractions?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02No.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04First clue. Always tricky.

0:05:26 > 0:05:27Is the link pens?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Yeah.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Aleck, Ian said "pens" three times.
0:05:34 > 0:05:39"Pens, pens, pens." And then you still tried to divert him.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41I'm only here to add glamour.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Thank you very much. You certainly are doing that.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46The remaining clues were rollerball and gel.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Well done, well done.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Right, you got that on the second clue which means you can cut
0:05:51 > 0:05:52three links.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Think very carefully about whether you want to cut
0:05:56 > 0:05:58links on smaller values for a quick cash fix
0:05:58 > 0:06:01or if you snip away at one of those higher-value pods.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03What would you like to do?
0:06:03 > 0:06:04It doesn't make any...
0:06:04 > 0:06:06It doesn't... Oh, no, no.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10- Pennies in a pot.- Collectively, with me speaking the loudest,

0:07:27 > 0:07:28BOTH: OK.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29What are you going to do?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32Can we cut 300 and 125?
0:07:32 > 0:07:37Right, let's take one from the 125. Removing that from the screen.
0:07:37 > 0:07:38APPLAUSE
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Similarly two from the 300.

0:42:13 > 0:42:15When did you...? Indian cities, yeah.
0:42:15 > 0:42:20When did you work out that it was breeds of pig, not animals?
0:42:20 > 0:42:22I thought Saddleback was a pig,
0:42:22 > 0:42:25but the only Welsh I knew was Welsh cob, so I thought that was a horse.
0:42:25 > 0:42:28- Oh, right yeah.- So when it got to Gloucester Oldspot,
0:42:28 > 0:42:30I thought that is another pig but I did clock that it was a pig,
0:42:30 > 0:42:32but I didn't want to say it was breeds of pig
0:42:32 > 0:42:35and then it would be horse, because my fiancee loves horses,
0:42:35 > 0:42:39and if I'd said it was a pig when it was a horse, she'd have gone crazy.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42- There we go, it's her fault! - I'm not saying that.
0:42:42 > 0:42:46That's marvellous. So it's actually your fiancee's fault!
0:42:46 > 0:42:47What did you think, Russell?
0:42:47 > 0:42:50Did you know any of the super links that Chris didn't?
0:42:50 > 0:42:53- Em...I knew the Indian cities. - Did you?
0:42:53 > 0:42:56I knew that an' all - I just didn't say it!
0:42:56 > 0:42:58THEY LAUGH
