01/03/2013 Weakest Link

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

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

The rest will leave with nothing as one by one they're voted 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 don't know each other. However, if they want the money

they'll have to work as a team. But eight will leave with nothing

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

Let's meet the team.

My name is Mark, I'm 27,

from Andover, Hampshire,

and I'm an estate agent.

I'm Nicola, I'm 21, from Rugby,

and I'm studying to be a speech therapist.

My name's Chris, I'm 37, from Somerset,

and I'm an aircraft engineer.

My name's Cerianne, I'm 33, from Swansea,

and I'm a sales assistant.

I'm Malcolm, I'm 31,

I'm from Belfast, and I'm a vicar.

My name is Anne, I'm 47, from Sale in Cheshire,

and I'm a drama teacher.

I'm Jacquie, I'm 59, I come from Middlesbrough,

and I'm a translator-interpreter.

My name is Neil,

I'm 44, from Birmingham, and I'm an IT auditor.

I'm Peter, I'm 57,

I come from Erith in Kent, and I'm retired.

The aim is to answer enough questions

to reach your £1,000 target within the time limit.

The fastest way is to create a chain of nine correct answers.

Get a question wrong, you lose the money in the chain.

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

But you start a new chain. Remember,

only banked money can be taken forward.

Neil, you who are going to go into battle wearing a catsuit,

are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I don't mind being voted off and not being the weakest link.

I was a threat, or I'd wound people up.

I said catsuit because I wanted to inject some humour into the show.

And I envisaged Anne in a catsuit, which was funny.

Round Two, and so far,

you've won £620 out of a possible £1,000.

Time to vote off the weakest link.

With the most wrong answers, Peter is the weakest link.

About £250,000.

-And you call that big?

-Why Peter?

-Um...

he got a question wrong which I knew the answer to.

Peter, never heard of litter?

I thought you said rubbish, so I said trash.

-Do you always think you're right?

-No, not really.

-Why Mark?

-As an estate agent, I thought he knew more than two.

When the vote's tied, the strongest link has to decide.

-Anne, why Peter?

-I think Peter's a bit too laid-back.

I want a bit more oomph into the answers.

What do you do?

-I'm a teacher.

-What sort of teacher?

-Of drama.

Is he not dramatic enough?

No, not at all.

That's why you voted for Peter, now you can choose

between Peter, who's retired,

and Mark, who's an estate agent.

It's difficult, with Mark being an estate agent, but I'm sorry,

I'm sticking with my vote.

OK. Well, Peter,

you don't know the word litter, but you were rubbish anyway.

You are the weakest link, goodbye.

I came on the show today

definitely thinking I was a winner. Unfortunately,

I'm a loser. There's only one thought about that.

I'm absolutely choked.

Everybody says Anne's a bit of a tigress, but I'd just like to say

Anne, you have the meekest wink, goodbye.

Round Three, team. So far, you've won

£870 out of a possible £2,000.

We'll take another ten seconds off the clock.

I cannot complete the question. You banked £200.

Whose brain is in orbit? It's time to vote off

the weakest link.

Statistically, Chris is the strongest link.

He answered all his questions correctly and banked the most money.

The weakest link is Mark. But has the team noticed these facts?

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

Chris, remind me what you do.

-Aircraft engineer.

-What sort of aircraft?

-Helicopters.

-Can you fly a helicopter?

-Swansea.

In Wales, the NICE bit to the left of England.

-What do you do?

-I'm a sales assistant.

And I didn't.

Fair enough.

-Nicola, what do you do?

-Speech therapy.

-How is it you don't speak clearly?

-I do speak clearly, Anne.

-Says who?

-You haven't said, "Pardon?"

-Is that what they teach you?

It's about expressing what you want to say and I've been doing that.

-Have you?

-I have.

-Oh, we mustn't have noticed.

-Why Mark?

-The question about Carry On.

It's quite basic knowledge

and he paused while he searched for the answer.

Well, Mark the estate agent, eviction time.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I got voted off because once they found out I was an estate agent

the cards were against me.

I'm not sure I trust Anne's motives. She's out for herself.

She's not a team member at all.

Her attitude to her team-mates is appalling.

Round Four, team. £1,070 banked out of potential prize money of £3,000.

Six of you left.

Another ten seconds off your time.

You now have only 2½ minutes.

Who's lost the plot? I urge you, vote off the weakest link.

In a reversal of fortune, Chris is the weakest link statistically.

For the first time, Malcolm is the strongest link.

What will the other players consider as they vote?

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

Malcolm, how long's your average sermon?

About 40 minutes.

Who recommended 40 minutes when people have got lunch to eat?

Nobody. It's just how long it is.

Well, it's only as long as you make it.

-Yes, that's right.

-Isn't there a bit of ego involved

in you keeping people from Sunday lunch for 40 minutes while you talk?

They don't focus on me They focus on someone else.

-Why Jacquie?

-She got Scandinavia wrong and her husband's a Swede.

Beginning to waste time a bit and she needs to go.

Nicola, why Jacquie?

When it got to me, there wasn't money for me to bank.

Jacquie, who speaks many languages including Swedish,

but hasn't heard of Scandinavia,

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm absolutely furious to be voted off. I was NOT the weakest link.

What was Nicola talking about?! She's got a cheek!

She ought to go next. She's not talking the truth.

Round Five, team. Your total so far is £1,340.

Malcolm, how long does it take to write a sermon?

-Because she was faltering.

Well, the truth is the truth.

-Cerianne, do you go to church?

-No, I don't.

-Are the sermons too long?

-No. I think I'm past saving now.

It wouldn't do me any good.

-Are you a bad girl, then?

-Some might say so.

Why Nicola?

Although we all had a poor round, I think she was the poorest.

You've delighted us long enough. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm quite pleased with my performance.

After the first round, you think, "Phew!"

Anne might be off next. She had some long pauses there.

So I think it might be Anne.

Round Six, team. You've won £1,400 out of a possible £5,000.

Four left. Ten seconds off your time.

Who's a leek short of a vegetable rack? Who's sent the flock to sleep?

Who is less than dramatic? Time to vote off the weakest link.

Malcolm is the strongest link. He was the only one to answer his questions correctly.

The weakest in this round is Chris. But who will lose out in the vote?

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

Anne, why Chris?

I think he's feeling the pressure

-and he tried to vote me off before.

-Cerianne.

-Why Chris?

-He was unfortunate with his questions.

I think he had some stinkers there.

-But between us, he was the worst player.

-He was indeed the weakest link.

Time to fly away, Chris. With two votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

You always think you can do better than anyone else

but it's more difficult than people think.

I think Cerianne will be voted off next. The other two have a much better general knowledge.

Round Seven.

Out of a possible £6,000, you've won £1,570.

There are three of you left.

Cerianne, the sales assistant from Swansea;

Malcolm, the vicar; and Anne, never written a script but teaches scriptwriting.

Ten seconds off the time. Malcolm was the strongest link. Let's play The Weakest Link.

The question is, who is your biggest rival?

That is who you should keep on the team if you want to raise the bank balance.

Time to vote off the weakest link.

At this crucial stage, Cerianne is the weakest link for the first time.

The statistics show that Malcolm is the strongest. But who will lose in the final vote?

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

-Anne, that's a mean choice.

-I think he's struggling.

Vote off the strongest link and you let yourself down.

I didn't realise. ANNE LAUGHS CYNICALLY

Cerianne.

-No. He's the best vicar I've ever met, I'll tell you that now.

-Not that I've met many, mind.

-What's wrong with him as a vicar?

-He's too smart.

-That's why you're voting him off?

-Definitely.

-It won't surprise you to know that you were the worst player.

-Not at all.

Malcolm...God went on his holidays. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

When Cerianne and Anne revealed their boards, I wasn't surprised. I'd expected it.

It shows you human nature. So, very disappointing.

I think Cerianne will win. Anne is nervous. Now it's just two, she'll focus more.

Round Eight.

Out of £7,000 you could've won, you've got in the bank £1,630.

Cerianne and Anne, you have 90 seconds.

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

£3,000 is at stake. You voted off the strongest link from the last round.

Anne was the second strongest. Let's play The Weakest Link.

You banked £80, which we'll treble and add to the winnings from previous rounds.

That's prize money of £1,870. Only one of you can win it,

so now you'll play against each other, head to head.

I'll ask alternate questions, best of five. Whoever answers correctly wins.

So, Cerianne and Anne, for £1,870, let's play The Weakest Link.

-Anne, as the strongest link, you choose who goes first.

-I'd like to.

features a poor girl who gains wealth through her bawdy behaviour?

Which prize is traditionally awarded

Anne, you have to answer this question correctly

is attributed to which 20th century British prime minister?

-No - Winston Churchill.

That means, Cerianne, you are today's strongest link and you go away with £1,870.

Anne, you leave with nothing.

Join us again for The Weakest Link. Goodbye.

I was lucky to get the second set of questions.

I did not have a clue about Anne's questions.

To my staff, whoever wins the sweepstake

on the number of questions I get - you're a worthy winner.

To go home and say I'm not the weakest link is fantastic.

I've been having nightmares that I was the weakest

and that hasn't come true.
