Of the nine people preparing for today's show,

0:00:010:00:05

only one will win

0:00:050:00:07

the prize money of up to £10,000.

0:00:070:00:09

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

0:00:090:00:16

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:280:00:30

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

0:00:330:00:39

They don't know each other, but to win the money

0:00:390:00:42

they'll have to work as a team.

0:00:420:00:45

But eight of them will leave with nothing

0:00:450:00:48

as round by round we lose the player

0:00:480:00:50

voted the weakest link.

0:00:500:00:53

Let's meet the team.

0:00:530:00:55

I'm Sue. I'm 38 and I'm a midwife from Rochdale.

0:00:570:01:00

I'm Lionel. I'm 60. I live in Saffron Walden and I'm a retired teacher.

0:01:010:01:07

I'm Andrew. I'm 32. I work for a meter-reading company from Luxulyan in Cornwall

0:01:070:01:13

I'm Charlotte. I'm a 48-year-old manager from Bedford.

0:01:130:01:17

I'm Keith. I'm a 24-year-old web designer from Derry.

0:01:170:01:21

I'm Larry. I'm 45 and I'm a DJ from Romford.

0:01:210:01:25

I'm Gail. I'm 20. I'm from Leeds.

0:01:260:01:29

I'm a customer service representative.

0:01:290:01:32

I'm Glenys. I'm 60, a retired civil servant from Warrington.

0:01:320:01:36

I'm Roy. I'm 51, a warehouseman from Maidstone.

0:01:370:01:41

Now the rules. In each round,

0:01:440:01:46

the aim is to answer enough questions

0:01:460:01:49

to reach the £1000 target within the time limit.

0:01:490:01:52

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

0:01:520:01:57

Get your question wrong, and you break the chain

0:01:570:02:00

and you lose the money. But if you say "Bank"

0:02:000:02:03

before the question, the money is safe

0:02:030:02:07

but you start from scratch.

0:02:070:02:09

Remember, only money that has been banked can be taken forward.

0:02:090:02:14

In Round One, there are three minutes on the clock.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:06:010:06:06

With three incorrect answers, Larry is the weakest link. But who will lose out in this first vote?

0:06:060:06:13

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

0:06:130:06:17

Right. An unfortunate occurrence when you're here.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:07:280:07:30

Playing here as opposed to being at home is different.

0:07:350:07:39

You're under lights and cameras. And there's a bit of tension there.

0:07:390:07:44

And you're not in your own front room.

0:07:440:07:47

I'm disappointed but I answered more questions wrong than anybody else.

0:07:470:07:53

So they had no choice. So good luck to them.

I'm disappointed to be voted off so early in the game because I could have done better.

0:12:350:12:41

But I was rubbish.

0:12:410:12:44

I got a very easy question wrong and I could have guessed the other one.

0:12:440:12:48

Gail could possibly go next. She was as bad as me in the previous round.

0:12:480:12:54

But, then again, she was the strongest in Round One.

Round Three. By now you could have won £2000.

Let me tell you,he who is desperately clinging on should be put out of his misery,

0:16:090:16:15

she who looks as though she may soon expire needs to be dispatched.

0:16:150:16:20

Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:16:200:16:22

The only one to answer all her questions correctly was Glenys, so she is the strongest link.

0:16:240:16:31

Having lost the most money, Lionel is the weakest link.

0:16:310:16:35

But how will the voting go?

0:16:350:16:37

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

0:16:380:16:43

-Charlotte.

-Yes.

-Why Lionel?

0:16:580:17:00

I thought he should have known Turkey, being educated.

0:17:000:17:04

-And he lost us money, which is important.

-Andrew,

0:17:040:17:09

didn't know Peter Sellers' wife?

0:17:090:17:11

I'm afraid he was before my time.

0:17:110:17:13

You only know answers about your time, do you?

0:17:130:17:17

That's worrying for the rest. Why Lionel?

0:17:170:17:20

Money. He lost a lot of money.

0:17:200:17:22

-Roy, happy with your weight?

-No.

0:17:220:17:24

-Never been on a diet?

-Yes.

0:17:240:17:27

-Don't know what a Kcal is?

-No.

0:17:270:17:29

Right. Perhaps if you did, you'd be happier with your weight.

0:17:290:17:33

-Probably, Anne, yeah.

-Why Lionel?

0:17:340:17:37

Erm, because he voted for me last time.

0:17:370:17:41

That's a good enough reason.

0:17:410:17:43

-Lionel, are you an educated man?

-Yes.

-A former teacher.

0:17:430:17:47

-Yes.

-You didn't do classes in general knowledge, I hope.

0:17:470:17:51

-I didn't.

-Just as well. With four votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:17:510:17:56

I feel savaged at being voted off.

0:18:010:18:04

I came to win, and because I had two killer questions,

0:18:040:18:08

which I couldn't answer, and they said I lost money,

0:18:080:18:11

which I think I put probably most money in in the first round,

0:18:110:18:16

I'm quite angry with myself.

0:18:160:18:18

It's very difficult to say

0:18:180:18:21

who will go out next, because they are strong people.

0:18:210:18:24

It's hard to say who'll make the final.

0:18:240:18:27

Round Four.

0:18:290:18:31

£1510 banked so far out of a potential prize money of £3000.

you banked a pathetic £120.

0:21:300:21:33

Who now is several sandwiches short of a picnic?

0:21:340:21:38

Forget charity, team. You need to be ruthless...to be rich.

0:21:380:21:44

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:21:440:21:46

Having answered all his questions correctly, Roy is the strongest player.

0:21:480:21:54

The weakest player is Andrew, though he did bank some money.

0:21:540:21:58

But can that save him in the vote?

0:21:580:22:00

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

0:22:020:22:06

Keith, why Andrew?

0:22:200:22:23

He was unfortunate in that round and lost us a few bob, so...

0:22:230:22:27

Glenys, had enough of Andrew?

0:22:270:22:30

I thought he'd got several wrong.

0:22:300:22:32

Gail, why Andrew?

0:22:320:22:35

-He got the most wrong and lost a lot of money.

-Andrew, you told me

0:22:350:22:39

you had difficulty answering questions before your time.

0:22:390:22:44

-I did.

-Perhaps this was an unsuitable show to come on

0:22:440:22:47

when there ARE questions about what you call "the olden days".

0:22:470:22:52

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

0:22:520:22:55

I've had a very bad round. I can't blame anyone for voting for me.

0:23:010:23:05

Early on, I was good, then I lost it.

0:23:050:23:08

There were a few questions I knew, bacteria and constant.

0:23:080:23:12

I just couldn't get the words out.

0:23:120:23:14

I'll get a bit of stick when I get home,

0:23:140:23:17

but I'm glad I got a few right!

0:23:170:23:20

Round Five.

0:23:300:23:34

Another ten seconds coming off the time.

0:23:340:23:37

We start with last round's strongest link.

0:23:370:23:41

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

Start the clock.

You got just seven questions right. Perhaps you should all go home.

0:26:110:26:16

You banked nothing. Zero.

0:26:160:26:19

Let me remind you

0:26:190:26:21

you need to dump the duds,

0:26:210:26:23

ditch the ditherer.

0:26:230:26:26

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:26:260:26:29

For the second time, Charlotte is the strongest link.

0:26:310:26:35

Roy has gone from being the strongest link, to this round's weakest link.

0:26:350:26:40

But can his previous success save him?

0:26:400:26:43

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

0:26:450:26:49

Gail, why Roy?

0:27:010:27:03

I'm sorry to vote Roy off, cos he's a lovely fella,

0:27:040:27:07

-but he did get the most wrong and he lost money, as well.

-Charlotte,

0:27:070:27:12

-why Roy?

-We were all abysmal,

0:27:120:27:14

-but Roy lost the money, so...he has to go.

-Keith, why Roy?

0:27:140:27:19

For the same reasons. He had a hard round, and lost money.

0:27:190:27:23

Roy, your specialist subject is home improvements?

0:27:230:27:27

Yes, Anne.

0:27:270:27:28

I'd think a Norland nanny was a big improvement to any home.

0:27:280:27:32

-Not good on girly questions.

-No.

0:27:320:27:35

You are the weakest link, goodbye.

0:27:350:27:38

I expected to be voted off, because I was the worst.

0:27:430:27:46

I wasn't happy with my performance at all.

0:27:460:27:49

I was the worst of the bunch.

0:27:490:27:51

I think I'd like...to see Keith going next.

0:27:510:27:56

No reason at all, except that he's the only man left, and why should he win?

0:27:560:28:01

Round Six.

0:28:020:28:05

You've won so far £1630.

0:28:050:28:09

In the last round, you won exactly zero.

0:28:090:28:12

If you'd been awake, you could have had £5000 in the bank by now. Four of you left.

0:28:120:28:18

We are cutting another ten seconds from your time.

0:28:180:28:22

The strongest link starts - Charlotte. Let's play The Weakest Link.

Time is up. Correct answer was Ohio.

0:30:420:30:45

And after all that work, you scrambled together just £100.

0:30:450:30:50

The clock is ticking.

0:30:510:30:53

I urge you, dismiss the worst player fast if you want to raise the bank balance.

0:30:540:31:00

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:31:000:31:04

The only player to bank money was Keith,

0:31:050:31:08

so he is the strongest link.

0:31:080:31:10

After being the strongest link in Round One, Gail is the weakest link.

0:31:100:31:15

Will the votes follow the facts?

0:31:150:31:18

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

0:31:190:31:23

-Keith...

-Yes, Anne?

0:31:340:31:36

Why Gail?

0:31:360:31:38

I think she had a unfortunate round. She was strong earlier on,

0:31:380:31:42

but we're getting to the end now.

0:31:420:31:45

-Charlotte, why Gail?

-Sadly, I think she was slightly worse than the rest of us.

0:31:450:31:51

Right. Gail, you know nothing about geography, not much about literature,

0:31:510:31:56

or art, and you can't spell - that's not how Glenys is spelt.

0:31:560:32:00

Statistically you're the worst.

0:32:000:32:03

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

0:32:030:32:06

It was the right decision.

0:32:120:32:14

I think I was extremely bad in the last round

0:32:140:32:17

and I deserve to be voted off.

0:32:170:32:19

I'm a bit gutted, obviously.

0:32:190:32:21

I do think it was my turn. I don't think tactical voting is going on.

0:32:210:32:26

Keith and Charlotte might be ganging up a bit, but apart from that, no.

0:32:260:32:31

Round Seven. You have £1730 out of a possible £6000.

0:32:330:32:40

Ten seconds off the clock. We start with the strongest link in the last round, Keith.

The monkey puzzle tree.

0:33:180:33:20

Name the greenish-blue deposits containing copper carbon on bronze and brass?

0:33:200:33:25

0:33:450:33:48

for the second time in 2000 by US People magazine?

0:33:480:33:52

-Sean Connery.

-Brad Pitt.

0:33:520:33:54

Which explorer returned to England in 1580

0:33:540:33:58

after circumnavigating the globe, and was knighted the next year?

0:33:580:34:03

-Raleigh.

-Francis Drake.

0:34:030:34:05

Which river flows from Staffordshire through Nottingham,

0:34:050:34:10

joining the Ouse to form the Humber Estuary?

0:34:100:34:13

Trent.

0:34:130:34:14

-Bank.

Which further education examining body

0:34:420:34:45

has its headquarters in Giltspur Street, London?

0:34:450:34:49

Correct answer is City and Guilds. In that round,

0:34:530:34:57

you managed to bank

0:34:570:34:59

an embarrassing £70.

0:34:590:35:01

In Round Eight you get the chance to treble what you bank, if you bank anything.

0:35:020:35:08

That means in the next round there is £3000 to be won.

0:35:080:35:12

The question is, who are you going to dump before they do any more damage?

0:35:120:35:19

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:35:190:35:22

With the most right answers, Glenys is the strongest link in this round.

0:35:240:35:29

In a reversal of fortune, Keith is the weakest link.

0:35:290:35:33

What factors will they take into account in this vote?

0:35:330:35:37

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

0:35:390:35:44

Keith, are you a bit of a coward?

0:35:530:35:55

-Why?

-You're getting rid of the opposition.

0:35:550:35:58

-Isn't that the object of the game?

-No. The object

0:35:580:36:02

is to raise the bank balance.

0:36:020:36:04

-It's what I was trying to do.

-Why did you vote for Glenys?

0:36:040:36:07

I think she's a strong player, but her general knowledge in popular culture

0:36:070:36:13

and things like that is weak.

0:36:130:36:16

-Charlotte, ousting opposition?

-I have to say I am.

0:36:160:36:20

-It's a bit of a cowardly thing to do.

-It is.

0:36:200:36:23

-Because Glenys was the best player?

-As Keith said, she's lacking in some areas.

0:36:230:36:28

I think she's a little bit more opposition than Keith is.

0:36:280:36:32

She IS more opposition.

0:36:320:36:34

In that last round, she was the only one who banked,

0:36:340:36:38

and didn't lose you money.

0:36:380:36:43

She wasn't the worst. Was she, Keith?

0:36:430:36:45

-Evidently not, Anne.

-Who do you think was?

0:36:450:36:48

Judging by your subtle question, possibly me.

0:36:480:36:52

-Not possibly. Definitely you.

-Well, there we go.

0:36:520:36:55

Glenys, statistically Keith was far worse than you,

0:36:550:36:59

but with two votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:36:590:37:04

I didn't seriously expect to get this far,

0:37:090:37:12

but I was starting to feel I was in with a chance.

0:37:120:37:16

Then it was all over, but it's been interesting.

0:37:160:37:20

I think in the end I hope Charlotte wins.

0:37:200:37:23

She's been more straightforwardly competitive.

0:37:250:37:29

Round Eight, and you have

0:37:300:37:33

in the bank £1800

0:37:330:37:35

out of a possible £7000. Charlotte and Keith,

0:37:350:37:38

two of you left and this time

0:37:380:37:41

you have just 90 seconds.

0:37:410:37:43

What you win will be trebled and added to the total prize money.

0:37:430:37:48

So, £3000 is at stake in this round.

0:37:480:37:52

You voted off the strongest link,

0:37:520:37:55

so we start with the second strongest link.

0:37:550:37:58

Charlotte. Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:37:580:38:01

Start the clock.

0:38:010:38:04

0:38:500:38:51

0:38:510:38:55

-Bank.

-What T is a Chinese religion and...

0:39:290:39:32

-Taoism.

-Correct.

0:39:320:39:34

Time's up.

0:39:350:39:37

You're nothing if not consistent. You managed in that round to bank an unimpressive £60.

0:39:370:39:44

We'll treble it and add it to the winnings from the other rounds.

0:39:440:39:48

That means prize money today of £1980.

0:39:480:39:51

But of course, only one of you can take the money away,

0:39:510:39:55

so now you will play against each other.

0:39:550:39:58

I'll ask alternate questions, best of five.

0:39:580:40:01

Whoever answers the most wins,

0:40:010:40:03

it's as simple as that. If there's a tie after five,

0:40:030:40:07

it goes to sudden death till we have a winner.

0:40:070:40:10

Charlotte and Keith, for £1980,

0:40:100:40:14

let's play The Weakest Link.

0:40:140:40:17

Keith, as the strongest link, you choose who goes first.

0:40:180:40:23

I'll let the lady go first.

0:40:230:40:25

Charlotte,

0:41:170:41:19

That is the correct answer.

The correct answer is Sidney Poitier.

0:42:380:42:41

Charlotte,

0:42:410:42:43

If you answer this question correctly, you have won.

0:42:430:42:47

So for £1980,

0:42:470:42:50

in astronomy, which of the major planets in our solar system,

0:42:500:42:56

discovered in the 1930s, is the smallest?

0:42:560:43:00

Pluto.

0:43:010:43:02

Correct.

0:43:020:43:03

That means, Charlotte, you are today's strongest link

0:43:090:43:13

and you go away with £1980.

0:43:130:43:15

Keith, you leave with nothing.

0:43:150:43:18

Join us again for The Weakest Link. Goodbye.

0:43:180:43:22

I was one of the strongest, although I had wobbly moments.

0:43:230:43:27

I'm delighted to have got so far.

0:43:270:43:29

I didn't believe I'd end up in the finals.

0:43:290:43:32

It is disappointing to not have won, but I still had a great time.

0:43:320:43:37

I'm happy for Charlotte. I wish her luck.

0:43:370:43:40

I wasn't sure I'd get that far

0:43:400:43:42

but people thought I'd do well, I'm very happy.
