01/03/2012 Weakest Link

Here are the nine contestants preparing for today's show.

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

The others will leave with nothing when 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've only just met, but to get the prize money

they'll have to work together.

However, eight will leave with nothing,

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

Let's meet the team.

I'm Adrian. I'm 60.

I'm from Hertford in Hertfordshire, and I'm a chauffeur.

I'm Hazel. I'm 55, I'm from Elton near Chester

and I'm a retired youth worker.

I'm Dennis. I'm 37, from Swansea, and I'm cabin crew.

I'm Charlotte, I'm 26.

I'm from Northumberland and I'm a project engineer.

I'm Lee. I'm 19, I'm from Manchester and I'm a drama student.

I'm Alison. I'm 43, I'm from the Isle of Wight

and I'm a prison officer.

I'm Pip. I'm 29, I'm from Bournemouth and I'm a drummer.

I'm Lisa. I'm 39, I'm from Perth and I'm a child minder.

I'm Simon. I'm 41, from Lowestoft in Suffolk,

and I'm a bingo hall receptionist.

Just to remind you, in each round there's £1,000 to be won.

The fastest way is to create a chain

of nine correct answers.

Break the chain and you lose

all the money in that chain.

Say "bank" before the question

and the money is safe.

Round One, three minutes on the clock.

We'll start with the person whose name is first alphabetically.

That's you, Adrian.

END OF ROUND JINGLE

-Ooh, did you say "bank?"

-I did.

You've reached and banked your £1,000 target.

That money will go through to the next round, but one of you will not.

Who's as much fun as self-catering in Cardiff?

Who'd have to check their Twitter feed to know where they are?

Time to vote off the weakest link.

In an impressive first round,

Adrian is the strongest link as he banked all the money for the team.

Hazel is statistically the weakest link,

but will the votes follow the facts?

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

Hazel.

Simon.

Lisa.

Simon.

Charlotte.

Simon.

Adrian.

Adrian.

Adrian.

We have a tie, team. Adrian and Simon, three votes each.

What do you do, Alison?

-I'm a prison officer, Anne.

-Are you? Where?

At Parkhurst Prison on the Isle of Wight.

It's a sort of Pontins for prisoners.

Some people see it like that, but I don't.

Are you a yellow-coat, then?

No, I wear white and black, not yellow.

And do you entertain the prisoners?

I sing for them and they do catch me dancing, sometimes.

-Why would they want you to sing?

-It cheers them up.

-What can you sing?

-Les Miserables.

You can sing like Susan Boyle, can you?

No, I'm not as good as Susan Boyle.

Are you going to do I Dreamed A Dream?

-I can try I Dreamed A Dream for you, Anne.

-OK, put your board down.

# I dreamed a dream in time gone by

# When hope was high and life worth living. #

Yes, I think I prefer Susan Boyle.

So do I, Anne.

Put your board up.

-Why Simon?

-I don't like his tie with his shirt on.

-Where are you from, Simon?

-Lowestoft in Suffolk, Anne.

-And what d'you do in Lowestoft?

-I'm a bingo hall receptionist.

And how do you fight off the women?

They make you look like a pussycat, Anne.

Some of them are ferocious if they don't get their seats.

What sort of nights do you have at bingo?

-Party nights, hen nights, all sorts.

-Hen nights?

-Yeah.

I suppose quite often the bride cancels her wedding

-after seeing you.

-Yeah, probably.

-They don't let you call the bingo?

-No, I don't like the game itself.

-What game do you like, Simon?

-Football, Anne.

-Do you play football?

-I used to.

Yes, have you got a WAG at home?

-I have, yeah.

-What's she called?

-She's called Sharon.

-What does Sharon do?

-She works at the bingo as well.

-What does she do at the bingo?

-She works in the diner.

-How long have you been married to Sharon?

-I've been married 20 years.

Gosh, the women of Lowestoft must be so jealous.

Your handsome face, your bald head. Your size.

-Why Adrian?

-Adrian, really, no-one got a question wrong,

but he just gave me a heart attack when he shouted out "bank."

Yes, just take me through that.

What happened after he shouted out "bank?"

The game stopped and we had £1,000 and the round was over.

Yes, but you voted for him as the weakest link.

There's no...

You're not only good looking, there's brains as well?

Just randomly, who do you suppose was the strongest link?

It's got to be Adrian cos he banked £1,000.

The strongest link who makes the decision was Adrian.

-What do you do, Adrian?

-I'm a chauffeur, Ma'am.

-Are you?

Do you stand around with a board at airports?

-Yes, Ma'am.

-You could just shout the name, couldn't you?

It would be a little bit like a cattle market, then, wouldn't it?

-Would it?

-Yes, Ma'am.

-Why?

Because you have perhaps 250 chauffeurs

and meeters and greeters all shouting names.

-Who do you work for?

-Myself. It's my company.

-What's it called?

-Sparks Cars.

-So, are they all electric?

-No, Ma'am. They are all diesel.

What sort of customers?

Managing directors, celebrities.

Who have you had in the back of your cab?

I'm afraid that if, for example, I was to carry you in my car,

you wouldn't appreciate if I was on daytime television

giving your name away.

What goes on in a chauffeur-driven car is confidential.

What you're saying, and I quite understand, if you had me

in the back of your cab, I wouldn't want you to tell everybody.

That is correct, and I wouldn't want to tell everybody...

Particularly not tell Mrs Adrian.

Probably not.

No. Now, you were the strongest link. But you were also in the tie.

Your choice is between Adrian and Simon.

-Who would you like to get rid of?

-I don't want him

to have a heart attack, so it'll have to be Simon.

Simon, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

To go off without getting any questions wrong,

I was a bit annoyed. If I'd have got questions wrong

then the walk of shame, fair enough. I don't feel it was justified.

Round Two. In the bank, £1,000. Ten seconds off your time.

We'll start with the strongest link from the last round, that's Adrian.

The statistics reveal that Lee is the weakest link.

The strongest link is Charlotte.

But will the other players consider that when casting their votes?

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

Lee.

Lee.

Lee.

Lee.

Alison.

Lee.

Lee.

Lee.

-What d'you do, Dennis?

-I'm cabin crew.

-And where d'you fly from?

-I fly out of Cardiff.

Oh, fabulous(!) It's a double whammy, isn't it?

Cardiff, and a lot of passengers going zoo class.

Do they listen to the safety instructions?

Yes, we do safety demonstrations to them.

-They're slightly boring.

-There's new ways of doing things.

Oh, really? Move over towards Charlotte.

Can you do it with a little dance?

I could!

Yeah, go on.

OK, your nearest exit could be behind you or in front of you.

Oh, you've got a big backside!

It's all of me.

OK, move back.

Put your board up. Can you sing?

I do like to sing quite a bit.

So, what do you drum in?

of an alternative lifestyle, shall we say.

-Why Lee?

-Cos he got his question wrong,

and even though I'm into metal, I know who Scissor Sisters are, Lee.

Lee, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think Adrian will probably win

because he seems to know his stuff, but I'd like Pip to win,

just cos it'd be a bit out of the norm if he won.

So you haven't got a job?

I do lots of other things as well.

-What were you in the panto?

-I was the front end of the cow.

-Why was that?

-Because I didn't want to be the back end.

No, can you see your face, then?

No, I had a cow's head on.

Was that necessary?

Yes, cos it went with the rest of the outfit.

OK, and what did you sing as the cow's head?

We sang Blue Moon and Fly Me To The Moon.

Right, we'll just have one moon, I think. Put your board down.

# Blue moon, you saw me standing alone

# Without a dream in my heart,

# Without a love of my own...#

Here's what's puzzling me. I don't know any cows that sing.

-Anything can happen in panto.

-Put your board up. Why Charlotte?

-Cos she got a few of her questions wrong.

-Her brain disappeared.

It did.

Charlotte, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm very distraught that I've been voted off in Round Three.

I had a lot more to give and I haven't been able to show Anne

my true banter cos I haven't had any craic with her.

So, that's a shame.

But anyway, three's better than two or one so that's OK.

Dennis.

Alison.

Hazel.

Dennis.

-Well, she got a couple wrong.

She looks like she's getting tired and she got rid of the pretty girl.

-Lisa, why Dennis?

-He got a few wrong.

-He said pass on a couple of them.

-The strongest link again was Adrian.

He gets to decide. Why have you voted for Dennis?

Because I think he got as many questions wrong as Hazel

but Hazel did bank some money at the end of the game.

-Do you want to change your vote?

-No, thank you.

He was the worst player. Hazel banked.

Dennis, you are the weakest link, goodbye.

I'm glad I got to Round Four, at least.

I wasn't one of the first rounds off.

You can't say I wasn't consistent with my answers

cos I kept saying pass every round.

But, overall, it was a good experience.

Alison.

Pip.

Pip.

Lisa.

Alison.

Another tie, team.

Alison and Pip. Two votes each. Adrian, why Alison?

Cos I think she was the genuine weakest link.

-Got the most questions wrong.

-Oh. Alison, why Pip?

I did worse than Pip, can't vote for myself, he was next.

Well, the strongest link was Hazel. Why did you vote for Pip?

Because he did get a couple of questions wrong.

And I thought he was missing the pretty girl I voted off earlier.

Yes. And do you want to stick to Pip or move to Alison?

I'll stick to Pip.

Pip, you are the weakest link, goodbye.

Well, when I was tied with Alison

and Hazel was revealed as the strongest link,

I knew, at that point, that she wasn't going to change her mind,

that it was going to be myself.

Maybe because I voted for her in the round before

but I think that's just the kind of way she is,

she'll stick to her guns, I think.
