Episode 9 The Link

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

where knowing the answers is only half the battle.

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

Three teams are hoping to make the right connections,

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

Let's see who's feeling unflappable, unstoppable

and undeniably up for it.

Introduce yourselves, please.

My name's Guy, I'm an occupational therapy student

and this is my friend.

I'm Alice, I'm from London and I am a fundraiser.

APPLAUSE

Guy, cook, dance, walk -

all at the same time?

I'm normally doing at least two at the same time, yes.

Those are what you like to do?

Yes, those are my main hobbies, I suppose.

What is your signature dish?

Anything, mainly sort of veggie hippy food.

Veggie hippy food. Alice, you have worked with Danny La Rue?

When I was ten years old I was in a pantomime,

-Aladdin with Danny La Rue.

-Wow.

What was he like?

He was really friendly and lovely, absolute professional.

-Yeah.

-He was, of course, Widow Twankey

and I was the little girl that brought on all the chocolates.

-BOTH:

-Thank you.

and he comes up the escalator, we got chatting,

a couple of jaunts to bingo and...

LAUGHTER we are together six years on.

A short romance. Simon, well... Yeah.

APPLAUSE

Simon, what department were you working in?

and this is my father-in-law or soon-to-be father-in-law.

-Thank you.

Right, Tulay and Jon, welcome.

-Thank you.

-Welcome, all. Now, pay attention,

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

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

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

until they drop down into your bank.

And here is how you cut the links.

I am going to ask you four questions

and you have to work out what links the answers.

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

you will be able to cut four of those links.

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

Then two. Then one.

Crawford. Schiffer. Campbell. Evangelista.

And the link here of course is?

ALL: Supermodels.

Yes.

Supermodels. Let's cut that link.

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

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

Let's play The Link.

Everyone is in play, here is your first question.

APPLAUSE

Tulay and Jon, and Guy and Alice,

you are still in the game.

Tulay and Jon, so far you've banked £2,875.

Guy and Alice,

you banked £1,000.

That money is now in these two cash pods,

each held by seven links.

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

takes that money through to the final round.

The other team will be out.

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

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

I'm going to ask you to identify a person,

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

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

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

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

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

Tulay and Jon have brought through the most money to this round,

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

-We'll go first then, please.

-Right then.

How many links would you like to try and play for?

I think I'd like to go for three, please.

For three links, what am I? Here are your clues.

What am I?

I think it's the Kremlin.

APPLAUSE

The remaining clues were...

They shoot, they score.

The remaining clue was...

Well done. Let's cut those links.

Well done, Tulay and Jon, you are through to the next round

and that cash goes with you.

However, that means that Guy and Alice are not and are going home.

Guy and Alice, you played a great game, but it's time to say goodbye.

Thanks very much for playing The Link.

Bye.

Tulay and Jon, you are today's finalists.

You brought £2,875 through to the super-link round

and we're adding £2,000 to that.

So today, you're playing for £4,875.

APPLAUSE

If you take that home, what would you use it for?

I'd put it towards my wedding

and maybe a little holiday with the family.

Would you join in with that, Jon?

Oh, yes, I'd buy a bottle of champagne for the wedding,

definitely, and I'd find something else for the rest to spend on!

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

six super-links.

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

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

And we'll stop the clock.

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

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

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

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

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

Who's going to play first?

-Tulay's going to go first.

-Me.

Tulay, you go first, you are on your own, no conferring.

The clock will start when you see the first clue.

Let's see if you can find the link. Are you ready, Tulay?

Stand by.

Lion, Witch and Wardrobe.

Is the link The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe?

APPLAUSE

Nice one. Yeah, the remaining clues were...

The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe.

That puts you on...

..£125.

Tulay and Jon, with 50 seconds remaining on the clock, you now

have a choice - you can take that money and go or you can play on.

Let's go.

THEY LAUGH

-Hey, he's a funny man.

-Shall we play on?

-Yeah, we'll play on.

-We'll play on, please.

-OK, Jon, you are on your own now, no conferring.

The clock will restart when the first clue appears.

-Jon.

-They're dogs. From films and television programmes.

Dogs from film and television programmes, is that the link?

Yep.

The remaining two were...

Fictional dogs.

That puts you on...

..300.

With 39 seconds remaining on the clock, you now have a choice

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

-What are you going to do?

-Play on?

-Yep. OK, we'll play on.

-Play on.

Are you going to play on? OK, Tulay, your turn now.

No conferring, the clock will restart when the first clue appears.

Stand by.

No idea? At all?

No. Nothing.

OK. The correct answer was...

David Bowie.

Didn't get it. No, Fame?

-Heroes?

-No. No.

-Not a Bowie fan?

-No.

-Right, which means play stays with you

and you face a new super-link.

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

Stations?

Is the link stations?

No. Cyclists.

Froome, and then the last two - Wiggins and Hoy.

Which means play stays with you, Tulay,

and you face a new super-link.

Good luck.

Is the link presenters?

No.

They were I'm A Celebrity winners.

Time out. No. The link we were looking for was...

(Spiders.)

Spiders.

The remainders were...

Spiders. Not easy, this.

Tulay and Jon, you're out of time, so you're leaving with nothing.

Thanks, you were great contestants.

-Thank you.

-Just like to say, I hope you have a really, really good day.

-Thanks very much.

-It'll be a great wedding.
