01/11/2012 Weakest Link

These contestants are preparing.

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 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 don't know each other, however,

if they want the prize money, 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 Mark. I'm 24 years old.

I come from the Midlands and I'm a marketing executive.

I'm Julie. I'm 31 years old.

I'm a hospital administrator from Emley in West Yorkshire.

I'm Alan. I'm 46. I'm from Warwickshire.

I'm a manager for a parcel company.

I'm Patricia. I'm 58. I live in Norfolk and I'm a housewife.

I'm Bryan. I'm 68 years old.

I live in Winsford in Cheshire and I'm a retired photographer.

I'm Nicholas. I'm 34.

I'm from Larne and I'm a window cleaner.

I'm Maria. I'm 22.

I come from Ashwell in Hertfordshire and I'm an advertisement typesetter.

The aim is to answer enough questions correctly

to reach your £1000 target within the time limit.

The fastest way

is to make a chain of nine correct answers.

Get a question wrong and you break the chain

and lose all the money in it.

If you say bank, the money is safe.

However, you start a new chain from scratch.

Remember,

at the end of the round, only banked money goes forward.

In Round One, there are three minutes on the clock.

We'll start with the first person alphabetically. Alan.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Patricia is the first strongest link of the game.

She answered all her questions correctly and banked the most money.

John is the weakest link.

Voting over. Reveal who you think is the weakest link.

We have a tie.

-I heard two questions wrong from Nicholas.

-OK.

You've got the choice. You can get rid of Nicholas or John.

Can I change my mind? I think I'll vote for John

and allow him to get off to save more butterflies.

John, fly away. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was sad to be first. I was unlucky with the questions.

I think the team saw me as a threat.

I think Patricia's reasons for voting me off were entirely fatuous.

I was one of the strongest contestants.

Many others should be stood here instead.

Round Two.

You've won £400 out of £1000.

Eight of you are left.

Well...

Nicholas was the worst player.

I won't let him do my windows. I don't like his methods.

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

I'm sorry to be off so soon. I thought I had a chance of winning.

When I get back, I'll get a lot of stick.

I want Bryan to go. He's not a good player.

He voted for me twice and I think he deserves to go next.

Round Three.

You've won £500 out of a possible £2000.

You're down to seven players. 10 seconds off the clock.

We start with the strongest link. Julie.

If you say so.

Patricia.

-Anne.

-What do you do?

-I'm a housewife.

What does that involve?

Having a very leisurely life, doing lunch and crosswords,

and taking things easy.

Who cleans the house?

I fit that in between the other bits.

-Why Maria?

-Well, Maria,

I seem to remember the question about the hands with the horses. And she really didn't know.

So, Alan, who works for the delivery firm.

Do any of your parcels go to Spain?

Yes, they do, Anne.

I hope you're not in charge of them cos you can't speak Spanish.

I can a bit, Anne. Buenos dias.

But you confused senora and senorita.

-I'm not interested in senoras, only senoritas, Anne.

-Why Maria?

Well, she got her questions wrong

and she hesitated and as we all know,

he or she who hesitates is lost.

What about him who says

-he knows geography and thinks there's only one Welsh national park?

-Ah, YOU know about Wales.

Well, statistically, Julie from Emley

was the weakest link. But it's votes that count. Maria,

with five votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I am extremely annoyed at being voted off so early.

If the rest had paid attention, I wouldn't be here.

The team started off very promisingly,

but they're going downhill. They're losing money.

I think Susan will go next. She's out on her own

and the others will get rid of her.

Round Four. £520 banked out of a possible £3000. Six of you left.

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

Julie, what sort of barmaid are you?

Not a busty one.

Why Susan?

It was a difficult choice.

I think Susan got one wrong.

She got two wrong. Did you think she was the weakest link?

At the time I wrote this I did.

She wasn't, was she, Mark?

You're correct in your assumption. It was me.

Tell me - this degree you spent four years working very hard for...

did you get a first at the end?

No, I didn't get a first.

I missed slightly getting a first. I actually got a 2:2.

-You missed getting a 2:1 as well.

-I did, yes. I completely missed it all.

In fact, I missed all four years. In fact, where am I?

-Why Susan?

-I felt her pain, Anne. Right through the game,

I felt her pain, and now it's just only fair

she's relieved of that pain.

Mark Marketing was by far the worst player, but it's votes that count.

With four votes, because Mark thinks your pain is too dreadful,

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I thought I was the weakest link so I expected it.

I know geography plays a great part in that.

When you're isolated they gang up on you.

I want Alan off next. He's arrogant, full of himself. I hope he doesn't win.

Round Five. And of the £4000 you could've won you've got just £640.

Five left. A marketing genius, the barmaid, the man who sends parcels

and doesn't know his geography, the housewife,

and the retired photographer.

And statistically he was the worst player.

Bryan, who thinks the mother of John The Baptist was called Edith,

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

I hate being voted off at this stage.

I thought I could win, as did my grandchildren.

Mark will be off next - he hesitates,

and has a distinct lack of general knowledge.

Mark, why do you want to get rid of Patricia?

She did really badly. I was disgusted with her performance.

If that was me, I'd leave now, because I'd be that embarrassed.

You now have the opportunity to decide between Mark or Patricia.

-Who would you like to get rid of?

-In my own interests, I have to change my mind,

because I don't fancy being a thorn between two roses.

So I vote for Patricia.

Patricia, it's back to the dusting.

Alan's decided you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel pretty devastated to get this far and to be voted off right now.

I've been the strongest link twice and I banked a lot of money.

Mark will be voted off next.

Julie and Alan are very close and have formed a partnership.

Round Seven. You've won...

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

Mark Marvellous, are you frightened of girls?

Do you know what, Anne? Yeah. I'm absolutely petrified of women.

It's a Freudian thing, I think. Something from my childhood.

Did you not have the courage

to hang on to the girl?

Well, when a woman in black tells me what to do, I do as I'm told.

You said pick the one who was least likely to help build up the money.

Well, she's had a very good game, but the fact is

in that last round, statistically you were the worst.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel a bit cheated that I just missed out on the final,

because I'd been the strongest link before,

but I cheated myself, because I was the weakest link in that round.

I think Alan will win.

Mark is funny, but I don't think he'll deliver the goods.

Round Eight. You've won...

..out of a possible £7000.

Two of you left, and you have 90 seconds.

Whatever you win in this round will be trebled and added to your prize money.

So, £3000 is at stake.

We'll start with the strongest link from the last round - that's Mark.
