04/03/2013 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 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 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.

I'm Barry. I'm 42 years old. I come from Wigan and I'm a firefighter.

I'm Debbie. I'm 35. I'm from Staines and I'm a self-defence instructor.

I'm Peter. I'm 52. I'm from Peterlee and I'm a singer-songwriter.

I'm Phil. I'm 27. I'm from Manchester

where I'm an account manager.

I'm Annie. I'm 56. I'm from Yateley in Hampshire

and I'm a semi-retired housewife.

I'm Kath. I'm 45. I'm come from Bradford in Yorkshire

and I'm a fast-response district nurse.

I'm Ewan. I'm 30. I'm from Glen Devon in Perthshire and I'm a trout farmer.

I'm Bernie. I'm 21. I'm from Tyrone in Northern Ireland. I'm a student.

I'm Michael. I'm 34. I'm from Little Hadham. I work in financial data.

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.

Say "bank" before the question and the money is safe.

But you start a new chain from scratch. At the end of a round

only banked money can be taken forward.

Round One. You have three minutes.

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

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

The first question is for £20.

Start the clock.

Bank.

OK.

You have reached and banked

your £1,000 target and that money will go through to the next round. But one of you will not.

You have 10 seconds less, so if anyone is worrying you now,

they'll really worry you by the end of the next round.

One of you will leave with nothing. It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Everyone answered a question correctly,

but Kath is the strongest link as she banked the £1,000 target.

Annie is the weakest link as she was the only person to get an answer wrong.

But who will go?

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

Barry.

-Yes?

-How was it for you?

Very nice, thank you.

Remind me what you do.

-I'm a firefighter, Anne.

-Are you any good at it?

I've been told I am.

-Who told you that?

-Some other firefighters.

-Oh, did they?

-Debbie.

-What do you do?

-I'm a self-defence instructor.

-How do they defend themselves?

-Running away's the best option,

though I can't do that here.

-Does it matter how big the opponent is?

-Not really if you...believe in yourself.

Or shout loud. That's the next thing. If you can't run away, then shout.

You earn a living like this? Teaching people to run and shout.

-A small living, yes.

-Why Annie?

She got the first question wrong. She was the only person who got one wrong.

Ewan.

-What do you do?

-I'm a trout farmer, Anne.

-Have you ever tasted trout?

-It's fantastic, yeah. I like trout.

Why do you have to put so much stuff with it to make it taste nice?

-It's the most tasteless fish in the world.

-Is it? Right.

-Why Annie?

-I'm from north of the border and even I knew what the capital of Scotland was.

Annie, it's a great shame you're called Annie. You're a disgrace to Annies!

Because unanimously, with eight votes,

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel really stupid at being voted off first.

My family and friends will laugh like drains. Especially my husband

who said why do I want to humiliate myself?

Round Two, team.

£1,000 in the bank. Eight of you left.

Ten seconds off the time.

Who's clearly not gifted with much gumption?

Who is the blot on your landscape?

Time to vote off the weakest link.

In a reversal of fortune, Kath goes from being the strongest link to the weakest.

Barry is the strongest link, as he got all his questions right and banked the most money.

But will the team pick up on that?

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

Michael,

-remind me what you do.

-I work in financial data.

-Do you?

-What do you do in your spare time?

-I play football...skiing...

Any sport I can do given the time I've got.

-Oh. You work hard, do you?

-Fairly hard, yeah.

-Do you make a lot of money?

-Not especially, no.

You will do in the future, will you?

-Well, I hope so. Not as much as you, though.

-No-one makes as much me. Why Kath?

-Um... She's not particularly gifted with gumption and I felt...

-Oh!

She's not gifted with gumption?

-You asked who was least gifted...

-We'll be watching your gumption.

Yeah. I'll try my best.

-I'm a student, Anne.

-Are you?

-I'm studying music and education.

-Literacy? So you do read?

I do, yeah. Just not William Blake.

It's not on the National Curriculum for Key Stage 2 so...

Oh, I see. You don't read for pleasure, then?

I do, just not William Blake.

If it's not on the National Curriculum Stage 2,

it's not in Bernie's library?

No, that's not true at all.

-Why Kath?

-I believe she got two wrong and I think she was the weakest link.

-How's it going for you, Phil?

-Not bad.

-What's your job?

-Account manager.

-What does that involve?

-It involves meeting customers, checking they're happy.

-If they're unhappy, do you give them a refund?

-No.

-Never?

-Not usually.

So it's pointless what you do.

I wouldn't say pointless, no.

-But you're not a customer. Why Kath?

-She got two questions wrong.

She did. She was the strongest link earlier,

but it all went pear-shaped. You weren't quick enough.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel as sick as a parrot to be voted off now

as I banked all that money in the first round.

I was unlucky last time.

I really wouldn't like to see Michael win because of what he said.

I think he's a total idiot.

Round Three, team.

So far you've won £1,470 out of a possible £2,000.

Down to seven players.

Another ten seconds off your time.

We'll start with last round's strongest link - Barry. Let's play The Weakest Link.

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

Bernie the student,

-what year are you in?

-Third.

-Third year?

And how do you keep yourself?

-I've got a part-time job.

-Doing what?

-I work in a clothes shop for ladies of size 16 and over.

-Oh.

And what have you discovered about life since working there?

-I've discovered that if you're nice to people, they'll be nice back.

-OK.

Why Phil?

He got a couple wrong. The question about the magnum stuck in my mind.

-Did it?

-Mm-hm.

Debbie, where do you teach self-defence?

-In Putney.

-Do you, in Putney?

Do they need a lot of self-defence in Putney?

Er... Well, they must do,

because they ask me to come back and do it.

Why Phil?

I know he got at least two questions wrong.

The carafe for the magnum was a bit silly.

Phil, short and sweet, you and your time here.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

My mates will give me grief about the magnum question.

It was a ludicrous answer but, under pressure,

I said whatever came into my head.

Michael may be voted off next.

He's had some fairly lucky questions.

And as it gets tougher, I think he'll get voted off.

Round Four, team. £1,770 banked so far,

out of potential prize money of £3,000.

Six of you left. Another ten seconds off your time.

You have 2½ minutes.

drop the dope.

Time to vote off the weakest link.

Getting the most answers right, Barry is strongest link for the second time.

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

But who will suffer in the vote?

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

In that last round, you answered eleven questions correctly in a row.

So, if you'd held on, at nine questions,

you would have hit the £1,000 target again.

Barry, what do you do when you're not putting out fires?

I've been known to do a little bit of fund-raising.

Oh. How do you do that?

-Usually by having a disco.

-Oh!

So if no-one's on fire you're having a disco?

There is a crew on duty who don't take part,

but yeah, we've been known to have a dance.

Why Michael?

I felt really guilty because he kept me in the last round, but

I've been voting fairly and I felt he was the weakest link.

OK.

Ewan who farms tasteless trout, how's it going for you?

Er... So-so.

Why Michael?

Because I think he got two questions wrong.

Simple as that.

How's it going for you, Peter?

I'm quite happy, Anne.

Are you? Let's do something about that. What do you do?

-I'm a singer songwriter.

-Oh.

What sort of songs?

Middle-of-the-road type,

light rock, Eagles-style.

Give us an example.

Sing us a bit of country music.

No. I won't.

I only get paid to sing.

-In case we mightn't like your voice?

-No, you'd absolutely love my voice.

Why Michael?

He's been quite strong throughout but he was a bit hesitant

and I think he got two consecutive ones wrong there.

Michael, who works in the city, who is bankrupt in the brains department,

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

It was fair enough.

I should have got the magpie question right. It was really easy.

I just couldn't think of a crow that begins with an M.

I hope Peter's off next. I didn't like the way his beard twitched.

Round Five, team. Your total so far is £2,070.

If you'd hit your targets it would be £4,000.

There are five of you left. Ten seconds off the time.

Statistically, Peter is the strongest link.

But how will the vote go?

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

Peter!

-Yes.

-OK.

Why Barry?

He's been quite good but he did get four consecutive questions wrong.

He got all his questions wrong that time.

Bernie, which women in the dress shop make the best customers?

All of them, Anne. All our customers are valued and appreciated.

OK, but who do you particularly like serving?

-The rich ones.

-Are you on commission?

-No, I just like to see them spend.

-Where's the shop?

In Chichester.

Are there a lot of women over size 16 in Chichester?

Enough to keep our shop going.

Why Barry?

He didn't get a question right in that round.

And I'm voting fairly.

Barry, the fireman, I fear there's a hole in your bucket.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel absolutely...

beside myself that I got the Hobbit one wrong.

Because that book is my favourite book.

How did I get that wrong?

I don't want Bernie to win because of her student attitude.

She knows everything and she winds me up.

Round Six, team. You've won £2,140

out of a possible £5,000. Four of you left.

We are cutting another ten seconds from your time.

We start with the strongest link - Peter.

That was...spectacular.

Four of you left. You've got rid

of five allegedly weaker links

and you've banked zero, zilch, nothing.

Who has truly failed to defend their reputation?

Who's sung their swan song? Whose brain has run out of batteries?

Whose performance is decidedly fishy?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Peter is the strongest link for the second round.

Ewan is the weakest link as he got every question wrong.

But who will be voted off?

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

Peter, why Ewan?

Well, he... he was the weakest link, I think.

He got three wrong and he was very slow with his answers.

-Bernie, why Ewan?

-I was very aware there was no money for me to bank.

Debbie, why Ewan?

He got at least three questions wrong.

-Did you used to be able to count?

-I've always been able to count. I lost track.

Ewan, it's back to the tasteless trout on your farm.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

In that round, the questions were hard.

I didn't know the answers at all.

There was nothing I could do. I tried to guess but no hope.

I think Debbie will be voted off next because she was struggling as much as me.

Round Seven, team. And out of a possible £6,000,

you've banked so far £2,140. Three of you left.

Ten seconds off the time. We start with the strongest link - Peter.

But who has got to go? Have the courage and the decency

to vote off the weakest link.

At this pivotal point in the game,

Bernie is the strongest link as she got every question right.

The weakest link is Debbie.

But who will lose out in the vote?

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

Bernie,

why Peter?

Basically, I feel my chances of winning are greater if he's not here.

-You didn't dare vote off the weakest?

-No, I voted off the strongest.

Debbie, why Peter?

Well, I think Bernie's the strongest link at the moment.

And I can't vote for myself

-so it only leaves Peter.

-OK.

Peter, the country singer.

Appropriately, it's ended in tears. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm absolutely furious that I was voted off.

I was starting to get into my stride and the girls stitched me up.

I think Bernie will win. But I feel robbed. That was my money.

Round Eight.

Of the £7,000 you could have won,

you have in the kitty £2,440.

Two of you left. This time, there's 90 seconds.

Whatever you win now will be trebled

and added to the total to make your prize money.

So £3000 is at stake. We'll start with the strongest link.

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