Of the nine people preparing for today's show, | 0:00:01 | 0:00:05 | |
only one will win | 0:00:05 | 0:00:07 | |
the prize money of up to £10,000. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
The others will leave with nothing after their team-mates vote them the weakest link. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:16 | |
Welcome to The Weakest Link. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
Any of the nine people in the studio here today could win up to £10,000. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:39 | |
They don't know each other, but to win the money | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
they'll have to work as a team. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
But eight of them will leave with nothing | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
as round by round we lose the player | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
voted the weakest link. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:53 | |
Let's meet the team. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
I'm Sue. I'm 38 and I'm a midwife from Rochdale. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
I'm Lionel. I'm 60. I live in Saffron Walden and I'm a retired teacher. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:07 | |
I'm Andrew. I'm 32. I work for a meter-reading company from Luxulyan in Cornwall | 0:01:07 | 0:01:13 | |
I'm Charlotte. I'm a 48-year-old manager from Bedford. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
I'm Keith. I'm a 24-year-old web designer from Derry. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |

Now the rules. In each round, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
the aim is to answer enough questions | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
to reach the £1000 target within the time limit. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
The fastest way is to create a chain of nine correct answers. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:57 | |
Get your question wrong, and you break the chain | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
and you lose the money. But if you say "Bank" | 0:02:00 | 0:02:03 | |
before the question, the money is safe | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
but you start from scratch. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:09 | |
Remember, only money that has been banked can be taken forward. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:14 | |
In Round One, there are three minutes on the clock. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |

You put into the kitty £300. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
Let me tell you,he who is desperately clinging on should be put out of his misery, | 0:16:09 | 0:16:15 | |
she who looks as though she may soon expire needs to be dispatched. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:20 | |
Time to vote off the weakest link. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
The only one to answer all her questions correctly was Glenys, so she is the strongest link. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:31 | |
Having lost the most money, Lionel is the weakest link. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
But how will the voting go? | 0:16:35 | 0:16:37 | |
Voting over, it's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:43 | |
-Charlotte. -Yes. -Why Lionel? | 0:16:58 | 0:17:00 | |
I thought he should have known Turkey, being educated. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:04 | |
-And he lost us money, which is important. -Andrew, | 0:17:04 | 0:17:09 | |
didn't know Peter Sellers' wife? | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
I'm afraid he was before my time. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
You only know answers about your time, do you? | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
That's worrying for the rest. Why Lionel? | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
Money. He lost a lot of money. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
-Roy, happy with your weight? -No. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:24 | |

-Probably, Anne, yeah. -Why Lionel? | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
Erm, because he voted for me last time. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:41 | |
That's a good enough reason. | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
-Lionel, are you an educated man? -Yes. -A former teacher. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:47 | |
-Yes. -You didn't do classes in general knowledge, I hope. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:51 | |

I feel savaged at being voted off. | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |

which I think I put probably most money in in the first round, | 0:18:11 | 0:18:16 | |
I'm quite angry with myself. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:18 | |
It's very difficult to say | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
who will go out next, because they are strong people. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
It's hard to say who'll make the final. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |

It's time to vote off the weakest link. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:46 | |
Having answered all his questions correctly, Roy is the strongest player. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:54 | |
The weakest player is Andrew, though he did bank some money. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:58 | |
But can that save him in the vote? | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
Voting over, it's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:06 | |
Keith, why Andrew? | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
He was unfortunate in that round and lost us a few bob, so... | 0:22:23 | 0:22:27 | |
Glenys, had enough of Andrew? | 0:22:27 | 0:22:30 | |
I thought he'd got several wrong. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |

I've had a very bad round. I can't blame anyone for voting for me. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:05 | |

I was the worst of the bunch. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:51 | |
I think I'd like...to see Keith going next. | 0:27:51 | 0:27:56 | |
No reason at all, except that he's the only man left, and why should he win? | 0:27:56 | 0:28:01 | |

In which US state would you find | 0:30:33 | 0:30:35 | |
Akron, Cincinnati and Dayton? | 0:30:35 | 0:30:38 | |
Time is up. Correct answer was Ohio. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:45 | |
And after all that work, you scrambled together just £100. | 0:30:45 | 0:30:50 | |
The clock is ticking. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:53 | |
I urge you, dismiss the worst player fast if you want to raise the bank balance. | 0:30:54 | 0:31:00 | |
It's time to vote off the weakest link. | 0:31:00 | 0:31:04 | |
The only player to bank money was Keith, | 0:31:05 | 0:31:08 | |
so he is the strongest link. | 0:31:08 | 0:31:10 | |
After being the strongest link in Round One, Gail is the weakest link. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:15 | |
Will the votes follow the facts? | 0:31:15 | 0:31:18 | |
It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link. | 0:31:19 | 0:31:23 | |
-Keith... -Yes, Anne? | 0:31:34 | 0:31:36 | |
Why Gail? | 0:31:36 | 0:31:38 | |
I think she had a unfortunate round. She was strong earlier on, | 0:31:38 | 0:31:42 | |
but we're getting to the end now. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:45 | |
-Charlotte, why Gail? -Sadly, I think she was slightly worse than the rest of us. | 0:31:45 | 0:31:51 | |
Right. Gail, you know nothing about geography, not much about literature, | 0:31:51 | 0:31:56 | |
or art, and you can't spell - that's not how Glenys is spelt. | 0:31:56 | 0:32:00 | |
Statistically you're the worst. | 0:32:00 | 0:32:03 | |
With two votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:06 | |
It was the right decision. | 0:32:12 | 0:32:14 | |
I think I was extremely bad in the last round | 0:32:14 | 0:32:17 | |
and I deserve to be voted off. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:19 | |
I'm a bit gutted, obviously. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:21 | |
I do think it was my turn. I don't think tactical voting is going on. | 0:32:21 | 0:32:26 | |
Keith and Charlotte might be ganging up a bit, but apart from that, no. | 0:32:26 | 0:32:31 | |
Round Seven. You have £1730 out of a possible £6000. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:40 | |
Ten seconds off the clock. We start with the strongest link in the last round, Keith. | 0:32:40 | 0:32:45 | |
Let's play The Weakest Link. Start the clock. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:50 | |

-Bank. -Which state of America is home to Cape Cod? | 0:34:37 | 0:34:40 | |
Massachusetts. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:42 | |
Which further education examining body | 0:34:42 | 0:34:45 | |
has its headquarters in Giltspur Street, London? | 0:34:45 | 0:34:49 | |
Correct answer is City and Guilds. In that round, | 0:34:53 | 0:34:57 | |
you managed to bank | 0:34:57 | 0:34:59 | |
an embarrassing £70. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:01 | |
In Round Eight you get the chance to treble what you bank, if you bank anything. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:08 | |
That means in the next round there is £3000 to be won. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:12 | |
The question is, who are you going to dump before they do any more damage? | 0:35:12 | 0:35:19 | |
It's time to vote off the weakest link. | 0:35:19 | 0:35:22 | |
With the most right answers, Glenys is the strongest link in this round. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:29 | |
In a reversal of fortune, Keith is the weakest link. | 0:35:29 | 0:35:33 | |
What factors will they take into account in this vote? | 0:35:33 | 0:35:37 | |
Voting over. It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:44 | |
Keith, are you a bit of a coward? | 0:35:53 | 0:35:55 | |
-Why? -You're getting rid of the opposition. | 0:35:55 | 0:35:58 | |
-Isn't that the object of the game? -No. The object | 0:35:58 | 0:36:02 | |
is to raise the bank balance. | 0:36:02 | 0:36:04 | |
-It's what I was trying to do. -Why did you vote for Glenys? | 0:36:04 | 0:36:07 | |
I think she's a strong player, but her general knowledge in popular culture | 0:36:07 | 0:36:13 | |
and things like that is weak. | 0:36:13 | 0:36:16 | |
-Charlotte, ousting opposition? -I have to say I am. | 0:36:16 | 0:36:20 | |
-It's a bit of a cowardly thing to do. -It is. | 0:36:20 | 0:36:23 | |
-Because Glenys was the best player? -As Keith said, she's lacking in some areas. | 0:36:23 | 0:36:28 | |
I think she's a little bit more opposition than Keith is. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:32 | |
She IS more opposition. | 0:36:32 | 0:36:34 | |
In that last round, she was the only one who banked, | 0:36:34 | 0:36:38 | |
and didn't lose you money. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:43 | |
She wasn't the worst. Was she, Keith? | 0:36:43 | 0:36:45 | |
-Evidently not, Anne. -Who do you think was? | 0:36:45 | 0:36:48 | |
Judging by your subtle question, possibly me. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:52 | |
-Not possibly. Definitely you. -Well, there we go. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:55 | |
Glenys, statistically Keith was far worse than you, | 0:36:55 | 0:36:59 | |
but with two votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:04 | |
I didn't seriously expect to get this far, | 0:37:09 | 0:37:12 | |
but I was starting to feel I was in with a chance. | 0:37:12 | 0:37:16 | |
Then it was all over, but it's been interesting. | 0:37:16 | 0:37:20 | |
I think in the end I hope Charlotte wins. | 0:37:20 | 0:37:23 | |
She's been more straightforwardly competitive. | 0:37:25 | 0:37:29 | |
Round Eight, and you have | 0:37:30 | 0:37:33 | |
in the bank £1800 | 0:37:33 | 0:37:35 | |
out of a possible £7000. Charlotte and Keith, | 0:37:35 | 0:37:38 | |
two of you left and this time | 0:37:38 | 0:37:41 | |
you have just 90 seconds. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:43 | |
What you win will be trebled and added to the total prize money. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:48 | |
So, £3000 is at stake in this round. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:52 | |
You voted off the strongest link, | 0:37:52 | 0:37:55 | |
so we start with the second strongest link. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:58 | |
Charlotte. Let's play The Weakest Link. | 0:37:58 | 0:38:01 | |
Start the clock. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:04 | |

-Bank. -What T is a Chinese religion and... | 0:39:29 | 0:39:32 | |
-Taoism. -Correct. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:34 | |
Time's up. | 0:39:35 | 0:39:37 | |
You're nothing if not consistent. You managed in that round to bank an unimpressive £60. | 0:39:37 | 0:39:44 | |
We'll treble it and add it to the winnings from the other rounds. | 0:39:44 | 0:39:48 | |
That means prize money today of £1980. | 0:39:48 | 0:39:51 | |
But of course, only one of you can take the money away, | 0:39:51 | 0:39:55 | |
so now you will play against each other. | 0:39:55 | 0:39:58 | |
I'll ask alternate questions, best of five. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:01 | |
Whoever answers the most wins, | 0:40:01 | 0:40:03 | |
it's as simple as that. If there's a tie after five, | 0:40:03 | 0:40:07 | |
it goes to sudden death till we have a winner. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:10 | |
Charlotte and Keith, for £1980, | 0:40:10 | 0:40:14 | |
let's play The Weakest Link. | 0:40:14 | 0:40:17 | |
Keith, as the strongest link, you choose who goes first. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:23 | |
I'll let the lady go first. | 0:40:23 | 0:40:25 | |

That means, Charlotte, you are today's strongest link | 0:43:09 | 0:43:13 | |
and you go away with £1980. | 0:43:13 | 0:43:15 | |
Keith, you leave with nothing. | 0:43:15 | 0:43:18 | |
Join us again for The Weakest Link. Goodbye. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:22 | |
I was one of the strongest, although I had wobbly moments. | 0:43:23 | 0:43:27 | |
I'm delighted to have got so far. | 0:43:27 | 0:43:29 | |
I didn't believe I'd end up in the finals. | 0:43:29 | 0:43:32 | |
