01/02/2013 Weakest Link

Nine contestants are preparing for today's show.

Only one will win prize money of up to £10,000.

The rest will leave with nothing, as one by one,

they're voted off as the weakest link.

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

Any of the nine people in the studio here today could win up to £10,000.

They are strangers, however, if they want to win, they'll have to work as a team.

But eight of them will leave with nothing,

as, round by round, we lose the player voted the weakest link.

Let's meet the team.

I'm Andrew. I'm 68, from Eltham in London. I'm a retired drill instructor.

I'm Rebecca, 26, from South Wales and I'm a PhD student.

I'm James. I'm 50. I'm come from Hawick in Scotland and I'm a firefighter.

I'm Marjorie. I'm 44. I'm from Birmingham and I'm a care-home manager.

My name is Simon. I'm 30. I'm from Leicester and I'm an archivist.

I'm Dorothy. I'm 63, from Yorkshire, living in Worcester, and I'm a retired teacher.

I'm Dalat, 29, from Chester and I'm a financial consultant.

I'm Sara, 36. I'm originally from New Zealand. I live in London and I'm a civil servant.

I'm Graham, 45, from Hull and I'm a publican.

In each round, the aim is to get enough questions correct

to reach your £1,000 target

within the time limit. The fastest way

is to create a chain of nine correct answers. A wrong question

breaks the chain and you lose the money.

If you say "bank", before the question is asked, the money is safe,

however, you start a new chain. At the end of the round, only banked money can be taken forward.

You get three minutes in Round One.

We'll start with the person whose name is first alphabetically. That's you, Andrew.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

-Lifts.

-The only one to get one wrong.

He was, indeed. Andrew, the retired drill sergeant,

who doesn't know the difference

between Tony Blair and John Major. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think Simon will be off next.

I think he's too quiet to get any further.

Eight of you left. We are taking 10 seconds off your time.

OK, well, Marjorie, with six votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I got Jeeves and Wooster wrong

because when Anne looked at me, I became so nervous, I lost it.

I would like Simon to go next because he got two questions wrong like me.

He's still there and it's not fair.

Round Three. You've won £1,420 out of a possible £2,000.

You are down to seven players. Another ten seconds off your time.

I don't know who'll be next, but Simon got things wrong earlier.

Round Four and of the £3,000 you could have won,

you've got £1,620.

Six of you left. Another ten seconds away. You have two and a half minutes.

We have a tie. Dorothy and Dalat.

-I think Dalat started

quite a strong player but he's diminishing with each round.

And although Dorothy did pause on a question,

Dalat's pause was a lot longer

than Dorothy's.

-Did you think Dalat was the weakest link?

-I did.

When the vote is tied, the strongest link decides.

James, you were the strongest link.

Why did you vote for Dorothy?

We were all appallingly bad, everybody.

But some were more appalling.

How did you come to the conclusion that she was the weakest link?

-I just felt she was.

-Felt?

-Gosh. Do you sit in that fire station and feel a fire?

-No.

So, when you're back at the fire station, you don't "feel" a fire?

No, no. We're like coiled springs.

Young gazelles. Just waiting to pounce.

But somebody tells you by confirming it, do they?

About a fire? It comes out in a tickertape message.

You got a tickertape message about Dorothy?

I thought she was the weakest link.

Well, you have a choice now.

Do you want to get rid of Dorothy or Dalat?

I'll stick with my original choice. Dorothy.

It's a good job you don't go on your feelings when there's a fire.

The archivist was the weakest link. But it's votes that count.

The firefighter wants you off. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm disappointed I got voted off in a tie-break when I wasn't the weakest.

I think Simon's riding lucky because he wasn't spotted

in the last round. And he had a few shaky times earlier, too.

Round Five.

Your total is £1670.

If you'd hit your targets, it would be £4000.

There are five of you left. Another 10 seconds off the time.

Ditch the dimwit. It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Statistics show Rebecca is the strongest link.

Delat is the weakest link, having failed to answer one question.

But will the votes reflect the facts?

Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

Rebecca, the thesis on personal identity,

how many words does it run to?

-About 80,000.

-80,000 words on personal identity.

Could you give us a taste of it?

-No.

-Well, try.

-I don't want to.

-Why not?

-I don't feel like it.

Can you tell us what it means?

-I can't be bothered.

-Why not?

-You wouldn't understand, Anne.

-Why not?

-You're not a philosopher.

-How do you know?

-Otherwise you wouldn't be hosting this.

-How much will you earn in IT?

That's none of your business.

-Why do people choose jobs?

-They like them.

You told me you chose IT for the money.

-That's not the only reason.

-That's what you said when I asked you.

-So?

-Why are you saying somebody else wouldn't be doing a job

if they were a doctor of philosophy?

-I'm not.

-Yes, you are. That's what you just said.

-I'm not.

-You did.

You said you wouldn't do IT, if you knew about philosophy.

-OK.

-Why have you voted for Dalat?

-He didn't get a question right.

-Was he the weakest link?

-Yes.

Simon,

-can you spell "philosophy"?

-Probably not, Anne.

Why have you voted for Dalat?

Because he's slowly getting worse. He started off very well.

-But I just think he's going downhill.

-Dalat.

With three votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

With the kettle question, I'd lost the plot,

because I knew I was going to get voted off.

I wasn't concentrating.

The next person off will be Simon.

He's hanging on by the skin of his teeth.

He's been the weakest a few times and he's still there.

Round Six. You've won...

..out of a possible £5,000. We are now cutting off

another 10 seconds.

you only banked £70.

Whose excessive education might have been a sorry waste of our money?

Whose lift doesn't go to the top?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Statistically, Simon is the weakest link.

Answering all of his questions, makes Graham the strongest,

but who will take the walk of shame?

Voting over. It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

Graham, why Simon?

Over the whole game, he's been the weakest link.

Have you got a boyfriend?

-Yes.

-What does he do?

He works for a builders' merchants.

Can you discuss philosophy with him?

I could, but it would be boring.

-Who for? You or him?

-Both of us, I expect.

-Why Simon?

-I thought he got the fewest answers correct.

-James, why Simon?

I got two wrong,

but Simon got more than two wrong, and he's living on borrowed time.

Simon, the lift has reached the basement.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I fully expected to get voted off.

I'd had a few bad rounds. It was a toss-up between me and Rebecca.

I think Graham will be voted off next.

He's the strongest player.

We all know that this programme's not the fairest and so he'll be off next.

Round Seven.

You've won...

..out of a possible £6,000. Three of you left.

Another 10 seconds coming off your time.

which means, potentially, in the next round there is £3,000 at stake.

Who is most likely to push that bank balance up considerably?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

The most right answers makes Graham the strongest link.

Rebecca is the weakest as she answered the fewest questions.

Who will survive the final vote?

Voting over. It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

James,

-why Rebecca?

-She was marginally worse than me.

Graham, why are you getting rid of Rebecca?

Chesterfield... She's not going to make us money.

I think she's had her day.

Well, Rebecca, as the Welsh say, every day is a day at school,

and we've taught you that a Chesterfield is a sofa,

and that Tarzan was brought up by apes.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

As a Welsh student, I expected to be picked on, and she did lay into me.

I was determined not to let her rip apart what I was doing as a student,

so I refused to talk about what I did.

I think Graham will probably win.

He was stronger in the later rounds.

Round Eight.

You've won £2,160

out of a possible £7,000.

James and Graham, two of you left. This time you have 90 seconds.

But whatever you win will be trebled and added to your total.

means prize money today of £3,060.

Only one of you can take the money, so now you're playing head to head.

I'll ask alternate questions.

Whoever answers the most correctly wins, simple as that.

So, James and Graham, for £3,060, let's play The Weakest Link.

As the strongest link you choose who goes first.
