Here are the nine contestants on today's show.

0:00:020:00:05

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

0:00:050:00:09

The rest of the team will leave with nothing

0:00:090:00:12

as one by one they're voted off as the weakest link.

0:00:120:00:16

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:290:00:31

Any of the nine people in the studio here today

0:00:330:00:36

could win up to £10,000.

0:00:360:00:41

They don't know each other but, if they want the money,

0:00:410:00:44

they'll have to work as a team.

0:00:440:00:47

But eight of them will leave with nothing as, round by round,

0:00:470:00:51

we lose the player voted the weakest link.

0:00:510:00:55

Let's meet the team.

0:00:550:00:57

I'm Paul, I'm 51, I come from Tongham in Surrey

0:00:580:01:02

and I'm a company director.

0:01:020:01:05

I'm Lawrence, I'm 26, from Preston, and I'm a freelance IT trainer.

0:01:050:01:10

I'm Barbara, I'm 64, I come from Dagenham in Essex,

0:01:110:01:15

and I'm a community worker.

0:01:150:01:17

My name's Doreen, I'm 52,

0:01:170:01:19

I'm from Lincolnshire

0:01:190:01:21

and I'm a cafe and restaurant proprietor.

0:01:210:01:24

I'm Stuart, I'm 41, I come from Bedford and I'm a finance manager.

0:01:240:01:29

I'm Caroline, I'm 41,

0:01:290:01:31

I'm from Milton Keynes and I'm a registered nurse.

0:01:310:01:35

I'm Gillian, I'm 28,

0:01:350:01:37

I come from Glasgow and I'm a customer service officer.

0:01:370:01:41

I'm Mike, I'm 34, I come from Gloucester

0:01:410:01:44

and I'm a computer programmer.

0:01:440:01:46

My name's Dan, I'm 21,

0:01:460:01:48

I come from Wolverhampton and I'm a full-time student.

0:01:480:01:52

Now the rules - in each round the aim is

0:01:520:01:55

to answer enough questions correctly to reach your £1000 target.

0:01:550:02:00

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

0:02:000:02:04

Get your question wrong, you break the chain and lose the money.

0:02:040:02:09

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

0:02:090:02:14

However, you start a brand-new chain. Remember -

0:02:140:02:18

only money that has been banked can be taken forward.

0:02:180:02:22

In Round One there are three minutes on the clock.

Of the £1000 you could have won

0:05:420:05:45

you put a very meagre £370 in your kitty.

0:05:450:05:51

Who might just as well have stayed in bed?

0:05:510:05:55

Who isn't worth their place?

0:05:550:05:57

One of you is about to leave with nothing.

0:05:570:06:01

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:06:010:06:04

Statistically, the strongest link of the game is Barbara.

0:06:060:06:10

The weakest is Doreen. She gave the most wrong answers, but banked money.

0:06:100:06:16

At this early stage, will that save her from the vote?

0:06:160:06:20

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

0:06:520:06:56

I've had these on for ten years.

0:06:560:06:58

Why Doreen?

0:06:580:07:01

She was the only person who had two questions wrong.

0:07:010:07:05

-And she has no earrings on.

-I never noticed.

-Got any talents, Dan?

0:07:050:07:10

-Football.

-Watching it or playing it?

-Both, I'd like to think.

0:07:100:07:15

-What else?

0:07:150:07:18

0:07:180:07:22

-Geography.

0:07:220:07:25

0:07:290:07:33

I want to work abroad, maybe in Africa.

0:07:330:07:36

-Do you know where Africa is?

-Yeah.

-Good. Why Doreen?

0:07:360:07:40

She got two questions wrong. I'm not sure if she was the only one.

0:07:400:07:45

Stuart?

0:07:450:07:46

-How's it going for you?

-As well as can be expected.

0:07:460:07:50

-How well is that?

-Fair to middling.

0:07:500:07:53

-What do you do?

-Finance manager.

-Are you?

0:07:530:07:56

-Why Doreen?

-She got two questions wrong.

0:07:560:07:59

And you just got the one wrong?

0:07:590:08:02

-Just the one.

-Paul?

0:08:020:08:04

-Hello.

-What sort of company do you direct?

0:08:040:08:08

A company importing honey from New Zealand.

0:08:080:08:11

What's wrong with our honey?

0:08:110:08:13

It doesn't have the healing properties ours has.

0:08:130:08:17

-You don't eat it?

-Yes. You glow with health.

0:08:170:08:20

British bees don't make you glow with health?

0:08:200:08:23

It's not as good as the New Zealand honey.

0:08:230:08:27

-Why Doreen?

-She got two questions wrong.

0:08:270:08:31

Does she need some of your honey from New Zealand?

0:08:310:08:34

-It could help. I'm sure it would.

-Does it heal brains?

0:08:340:08:38

-I haven't tried it.

-Obviously.

0:08:380:08:42

The team needs to improve but without Doreen,

0:08:420:08:46

who doesn't know the Kinks from the Animals.

0:08:460:08:49

Doreen, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:08:490:08:52

I'm very disappointed at being voted off first

0:09:010:09:05

because I did bank money for the team.

0:09:050:09:08

I'd have given them a good run for their money.

0:09:080:09:11

I think Gillian will go next. She doesn't have the required confidence and is hesitant.

0:09:110:09:18

Round Two.

0:09:180:09:19

So far you've won £370

0:09:190:09:21

out of a possible £1000.

0:09:210:09:25

Eight of you left. You've lost Doreen, but you've still got Paul.

0:09:250:09:30

He says New Zealand honey is better than ours,

0:09:300:09:33

Barbara's had those earrings in for ten years,

0:09:330:09:36

and Dan claims to know where Africa is.

Just £220 is what you put in the kitty.

0:12:480:12:53

Whose dream of winning has become a nightmare?

0:12:530:12:57

Who's more thick than quick? It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:12:570:13:01

0:13:040:13:08

Mike is the weakest link, but how will the team vote?

0:13:080:13:13

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

I teach their staff how to use computers,

Who fixes your computer when it goes wrong?

0:14:170:14:20

-I fix my own.

-Are you married?

-I'm not.

0:14:200:14:23

No. I wouldn't marry anyone into computers. Why Mike?

0:14:230:14:27

He got two answers wrong, and I had to vote for someone.

0:14:270:14:31

Caroline.

0:14:310:14:33

-Yes, Anne?

-You're a nurse?

-Yes, Anne.

-Both.

0:14:430:14:47

0:14:470:14:51

Mike, who thinks there's a song called Have You Ever Really Loved A Sausage?,

0:14:510:14:57

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:14:570:14:59

I'm disheartened about being voted off.

0:15:070:15:10

I have better general knowledge than half of team.

0:15:100:15:14

I expected to get a lot further.

0:15:140:15:17

It was a big letdown to see my name so early.

0:15:170:15:20

I'm disappointed about the Bryan Adams question.

0:15:200:15:24

I said the first thing that came into my head.

0:15:240:15:27

I think Barbara will go next.

0:15:270:15:30

She takes too long over her questions.

0:15:300:15:33

She doesn't seem confident, and wastes time.

0:15:330:15:36

Round Three.

0:15:360:15:38

Out of the possible £2000 you could have won,

0:15:380:15:42

you've got just £590.

0:15:420:15:45

We take ten seconds off the clock. We'll start with the strongest link.

0:15:450:15:51

That's Lawrence. Let's play The Weakest Link.

I cannot accept your bank because I was into the question.

0:18:500:18:54

£170 you won.

0:18:540:18:56

Whose memory needs reprogramming? Whose brain has turned to jelly?

0:18:560:19:02

It's time to get rid of the weakest link.

0:19:020:19:05

As the only one to answer all her questions correctly,

0:19:070:19:11

Gillian is the strongest link.

0:19:110:19:14

Stuart is the weakest link statistically,

0:19:140:19:17

but what will the team take into account as they vote?

0:19:170:19:21

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

0:19:220:19:26

Not enough.

0:19:420:19:44

0:19:440:19:47

Stuart got two questions wrong,

0:19:470:19:50

-and he hesitated for a long time.

-You'll have to take more honey.

0:19:500:19:55

-That's what we use.

0:20:180:20:22

Why do you have to go to university?

0:20:220:20:25

They tell us where to get it, how to write an essay, and they mark it.

0:20:250:20:30

Our bloke from IT could do it for you.

0:20:300:20:32

-If he'd give me a degree, I'd happily take it.

-Why Stuart?

0:20:320:20:37

He got all his questions wrong. It was a bad round from all of us,

0:20:370:20:41

but I remember him getting them wrong.

0:20:410:20:44

Lawrence, why Stuart?

0:20:440:20:48

-He got one more question wrong than I did.

-OK.

0:20:480:20:52

A terrible round for Stuart. Not a question answered correctly. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:20:520:20:58

I'm miffed to be voted off.

0:21:060:21:08

I can't believe that barrel of monkeys wanted rid of me.

0:21:080:21:12

Tactics are taking place. Gillian chose me three times.

0:21:120:21:16

I don't care who wins. I want them all to be voted off.

0:21:160:21:20

If I had to go for one, it has to be Gillian.

Round Four and, of the £3000 you could have won,

0:21:220:21:26

We are now taking another ten seconds off the clock.

We'll start with the strongest link from the last round, Gillian.

0:21:340:21:39

Let's play The Weakest Link.

For the second round in a row, Gillian is the strongest link.

0:24:320:24:37

With no correct answers,

0:24:370:24:39

Caroline is the weakest link, but whose game is over?

0:24:390:24:43

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

as you can tell by the previous answer.

0:25:120:25:15

-I use my pleasant personality in other ways.

-What do you do?

0:25:150:25:19

I'm pleasant to people, even when they're nasty.

0:25:190:25:23

Why Caroline? You're not being pleasant to HER.

0:25:230:25:26

She's lovely, but she got her questions wrong.

Barbara, why don't you know the difference between West Ham and Arsenal?

0:25:290:25:35

I don't like football.

0:25:350:25:37

Why Caroline?

Caroline was slightly worse than me.

0:25:390:25:42

She was indeed. Statistically she was the worst player.

0:25:420:25:46

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

0:25:460:25:49

I'm not pleased. I'd love to have got to the final, but it wasn't to be.

0:25:570:26:02

The team's performance is appalling.

0:26:020:26:05

We didn't bank money, we didn't answer questions.

0:26:050:26:09

Lawrence may be off next. He's nervous,

0:26:090:26:12

and he has had a couple of bad rounds as well.

Round Five.

For the first time, Paul is the strongest link. Will the team notice?

I remember her getting two questions wrong.

Lawrence, why Dan?

0:29:430:29:47

I don't watch either soap opera,

0:29:470:29:49

but I knew which one the Colbys came from.

0:29:490:29:52

When the vote is tied, the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote.

0:29:520:29:59

Paul, you have the choice - Barbara or Dan?

0:29:590:30:03

I will stick to my original decision.

0:30:030:30:06

I can't forgive anyone who can't tell the difference between Arsenal and West Ham.

0:30:060:30:12

So you've just voted off the person who wasn't the weakest link.

0:30:120:30:18

You're hanging on to our expert in geography.

0:30:180:30:21

Barbara and the earrings have had their day. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:30:210:30:27

I'm very aggrieved at being voted off.

0:30:360:30:38

I was not the weakest link.

0:30:380:30:40

I think Lawrence will be very tactical. He appears laid-back

0:30:400:30:45

but I think he could be wicked.

0:30:450:30:47

Dan will be voted off next. He's hesitant,

0:30:470:30:50

and I was certainly better than him.

0:30:500:30:53

0:33:420:33:46

The weakest link is Gillian, she got most wrong.

0:33:460:33:49

But will her previous good performance save her in the vote?

0:33:490:33:54

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

0:33:550:34:00

Paul, why have you got rid of Gillian?

0:34:080:34:11

Unfortunately she had some difficult questions, and got some wrong.

0:34:110:34:16

Dan, why Gillian?

0:34:160:34:19

She was the weakest link in the last round.

0:34:190:34:22

Does university teach you to count?

0:34:220:34:24

Yeah, very well.

0:34:240:34:26

Gillian, you've had some good rounds before now but, with three votes,

0:34:280:34:33

the team decided you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:34:330:34:37

I can't believe I was voted off at this stage.

0:34:450:34:48

I think I could have got to the final.

0:34:480:34:51

Dan will be off next. The team will pick on him because of his age.

0:34:510:34:56

Round Seven. You've won £1710 out of a possible £6000.

0:34:570:35:01

0:37:120:37:15

You won £300.

0:37:150:37:17

In Round Eight you can treble what you bank,

0:37:170:37:21

and it means in the next round there's £3,000 to be won.

0:37:210:37:25

But who has to go?

0:37:250:37:27

Who is least likely to raise the bank balance when you have this opportunity?

0:37:270:37:33

Have courage to vote off the weakest link.

0:37:330:37:36

In a reversal of fortune,

0:37:370:37:39

Lawrence is now the weakest link.

0:37:390:37:42

Paul is the strongest link, answering all his questions correctly.

0:37:420:37:46

But who will lose out in this all-important final vote?

0:37:460:37:51

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

0:37:520:37:57

Paul...why Dan?

0:38:050:38:07

I was aware that Dan got some wrong.

0:38:070:38:10

Lawrence, statistically you were the worst player in that round.

0:38:100:38:16

-I wouldn't be surprised.

-Why Dan?

0:38:160:38:19

Because he did almost as badly as I did,

0:38:200:38:24

and Paul has got next to no questions wrong.

0:38:240:38:27

Dan, who's only done Africa so far in his geography degree,

0:38:270:38:32

so I don't know if you'll find your way off the podium alone...

0:38:320:38:36

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

0:38:360:38:39

I'm livid at being voted off.

0:38:470:38:49

I was not the weakest link, Lawrence was.

0:38:490:38:52

Lawrence and Paul are cowards. They had their plan.

0:38:520:38:56

It should be me in the final.

0:38:560:38:58

Lawrence had it in for me.

0:38:580:39:00

He voted for me a few times. I wish Paul luck in the final.

0:39:000:39:04

Round Eight. You've won £2010 out of a possible £7000.

0:39:060:39:10

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

0:39:140:39:20

£3000 is therefore at stake.

0:39:210:39:23

We start with the strongest link - Paul. Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:41:050:41:10

That means prize money today of £2580.

0:41:100:41:14

But only one of you can take that money away.

0:41:140:41:17

Now you'll play against each other Head-to-Head.

0:41:170:41:21

Alternate questions, best of five.

0:41:210:41:23

Whoever answers the most correctly wins, it's simple as that.

0:41:280:41:34
