03/10/2013 Weakest Link

Of the nine contestants preparing,

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

The rest of the team leave with nothing as they're voted off as

the weakest link.

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

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

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

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

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

Let's meet the team.

I'm 45, from Colchester in Essex and I'm a parish priest.

I'm 26, I'm from Bristol and I'm a child health researcher.

I'm 33 and from London and I'm an IT specialist.

I'm 45, I'm from Blackwall and I'm a hotelier.

I'm 27, from Worcestershire, and I'm a maths and PE teacher.

I'm 32, from Northern Ireland, and I'm a full-time mum.

I'm 28, from York, and I'm a commercial financial assistant.

I'm 30, from Peterborough. I'm a sales manager.

I'm 44. I'm from Newport, in Gwent. I'm a police officer.

The aim is to answer enough questions correctly

to reach £1,000

in the time limit. The fastest way is with a chain of nine answers.

Get your question wrong and you lose all the money in that chain.

Say the word bank and the money is safe.

However, you start a new chain from scratch.

At the end of the round, only money that's been banked can be taken forward.

In round one you have three minutes. We start with the person first alphabetically.

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

With the votes tied, the strongest link has to decide.

That was Laura. What do you do, Laura?

I'm a researcher on a child health project.

What are you aiming to be? To get more into the academic side of psychological research.

Write papers, that sort of thing. That sort of thing.

So you can take as long as you like.

I know what I'm doing. I enjoy it. Why Parvez?

He got a couple wrong,

and I feel he was slightly weaker.

You've got a choice between Sheila and Parvez.

I'm going to stick with my original — Parvez.

Statistically, Parvez was the poorest player.

Parvez, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Voted off in the first round.

It's my worst nightmare, played out in front of the nation.

I think Sheila might go next. She was only slightly better than me.

Round two, team. You've banked £550. You're down to eight players.

We're taking ten seconds off.

We start with the strongest link, Laura. Let's play the weakest link.

I know some aren't. You do? Yes, I do.

What sort of mums are they? Working mums.

So working mums are not full-time mothers? They've taken the easy option.

Left them behind to have a nice little time at work. Why Sheila?

She had a weak first round and she was weak again, and it had stuck with me.

Did it? Yes. Did you think she was the weakest link?

Yes, I did.

Jonathan... Was that a wink or are you twitching? Twitching, Anne.

What do you do? I'm a commercial financial assistant.

That's such a long job title. It is, but it's not a long job. Is it a rubbish job? It is, Anne.

And you can't answer three questions. A stuntman doesn't need much intellect. Why Sheila?

The strongest link is Chris. Why did you vote for Brenda?

I agree that it's time that she returned to her family, I'm sure they're missing her.

You now have a choice between Brenda or Annie.

I'll stay with my vote.

My brother is going to be very embarrassed with me

because he didn't want me to come because he knew I'd be voted off!

I'm just going to have to avoid him.

But who will the team want off?

I thought they were all called head teachers now. It depends.

So why are you calling her headmistress? It's how I was brought up.

it's difficult to choose between anyone on the team.

Chris, why Annie?

She's been sailing close to the wind for a little while.

Statistically, the worst player was Jonathan,

but with two votes, Annie, you are the weakest link, goodbye.

The team as a whole are pretty poor.

The money isn't going up very high.

They'll only get a few more hundred pounds.

Chris'll win, they'll all feel intimidated by the vicar.

Round six, and out of a possible £5,000, you've banked £1,440.

You're down to four, another ten seconds coming off.

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

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

As he didn't get an answer wrong, Chris is the strongest link.

Laura is the weakest link. But whose game is over?

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

Chris,

are you an honest sort of parish priest? Of course.

You recommend to others they are honest and straightforward in all they do? Absolutely.

So tell me why you're voting off someone who got one question wrong

and four questions right? I think that...

the game is...to...win,

and now is the time to start focusing on the winning post.

So sadly, Martin...

He's been the strongest link in two rounds.

It won't surprise anyone that Laura was the worst player in the last round

but, Martin,

you were too good for them. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm disappointed to be voted off. I was strongest in a few rounds.

I knew I'd be voted out. Surprising to see Chris voting tactically.

As a man of cloth you expect honesty. I'm not surprised about Laura but I expected better of Chris.

Round seven. Out of a possible £6,000,

you've banked £1,590.

We're hardly full of admiration. Three players, ten seconds off.

We start with the strongest link, Chris. Let's play The Weakest Link.

The question is — who's going? Who's staying?

Time to vote off the weakest link.

Statistics reveal that Jonathan is the strongest link.

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

Can his previous performance save him from the final vote?

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

Jonathan, you're still here.

You seem surprised, Anne. I am surprised.

Why's that? Because if you get too many correct answers like Martin,

you get voted off, cos they think you're a threat.

And you were the strongest link in that last round. That surprises me.

Why are you getting rid of Laura?

Unfortunately, she got a few wrong — got to stick with the man of God.

Don't you think the man of God is you more serious rival?

Maybe, but he deserves his chance to win the money.

That's very fair. You ARE a good lad. I try. Brought up well.

Chris, you only answered one question correctly.

They just didn't fall my way, Anne.

Say a prayer before you got here? I'm always saying prayers.

Why Laura? She had a bad round last time

and I missed the fact that she didn't get one right,

so I felt it was now time to play catch-up.

Well, you were the worst player. On the other hand,

Jonathan was the strongest link. Laura was in the middle.

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

It's a shame not to be able to go for the money, cos I could've spent it in fantastic ways!

I'd like Chris to win because he's been consistent throughout.

I think he's the stronger of the two.

Round eight. £1,690 in the kitty.

Two of you left and you have 90 seconds.

Whatever you bank in this round will be trebled.

£3,000 up for grabs.
