04/10/2012 Weakest Link

Of the nine people preparing for today's show

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

The others will leave with nothing after their team-mates vote them 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.

If they want the money, they 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 Helen. I'm 22, a fashion student from Southampton.

I'm Donna, 33, a sales assistant from Bamber Bridge.

I'm Mike. I'm 61, a retired sales manager from Nottingham.

I'm Pamela. I'm 62. I'm a sheltered housing warden from Surrey.

I'm Terri. I'm 47. I'm a placement liaison officer from Kent.

I'm Margaret. I'm 49. I'm a part-time teacher from Wilmslow, Cheshire.

I'm Mark. I'm 33. I'm a training manager from Devon.

In each round, 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.

If you get one wrong, you lose the money.

But if you say "bank" before the question, the money is safe.

However, you start a new chain

from scratch.

Only money that has been banked can be taken forward.

There are three minutes on the clock.

We'll start with the first name, alphabetically.

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

She was the weakest link.

And overall?

-Margaret,

you've been the strongest player throughout the game,

better than either Andrew and Simon.

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

I'm very cross to be voted off.

I didn't have a good round but, on performance, I should be there.

Neither Simon nor Andrew have good general knowledge

and don't deserve to win. I should be there.

Round Eight. So far you've won...

Only two of you left. This time you have 90 seconds.

But your winnings are trebled and added to your total

Time is up and how magnificently you did(!)

You answered one question correctly and you banked £20.

We'll treble that and add it to the winnings.

That means prize money today of £2100. But only one of you can take that money away,

so now you'll play head-to-head.

Alternate questions, best of five.

Whoever answers the most wins. It's that simple.

If there's a tie after five, it's Sudden Death till we have a winner.

So, Andrew and Simon, for £2100,

let's play The Weakest Link.

I am delighted to have got that far.

With the prize money, I'm buying a new set of golf clubs.

But new golf clubs are what I really need to hopefully iimprove my game.
