Of the nine contestants preparing today,

0:00:020:00:05

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

0:00:050:00:08

The rest will leave with nothing,

0:00:080:00:11

as, one by one, they're voted off as the weakest link.

0:00:110:00:16

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:280:00:30

Any of the nine people in the studio here today

0:00:320:00:35

could win up to £10,000.

0:00:350:00:39

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

0:00:390:00:43

they'll have to work as a team. But eight will leave with nothing,

0:00:430:00:48

as, round by round, we lose the player voted the weakest link.

0:00:480:00:53

Let's meet the team.

0:00:530:00:55

I'm Darren. I'm 25. I'm from Birmingham,

0:00:560:00:59

and I'm a trainee clinical psychologist.

0:00:590:01:02

My name's Andy. I'm 42.

0:01:020:01:04

I'm from Wrexham, and I'm a team leader.

0:01:040:01:07

My name's Joanne. I'm 32.

0:01:070:01:09

I'm from Darlington, and I'm a trains conductor.

0:01:090:01:13

I'm Sarah. I'm 28. I'm from Cheltenham, and I'm a press officer.

0:01:130:01:17

I'm Bob. I'm 38.

0:01:170:01:19

I'm from Herefordshire, and I'm a print broker.

0:01:190:01:23

I'm Louisa. I'm 49.

0:01:240:01:26

I'm from Northants, and I'm a social-research interviewer.

0:01:260:01:30

I'm Douglas. I'm 56.

0:01:300:01:32

I come from Dundee, and I'm a company director.

0:01:320:01:36

I'm Catherine. I'm 31. I'm from Sheffield,

0:01:370:01:40

and I'm a full-time mother.

0:01:430:01:45

I'm from London, and I'm an IT sales account manager.

0:01:450:01:50

Now, the aim is to answer enough questions

0:01:500:01:53

to reach your £1000 target within the time limit.

0:01:530:01:57

The fastest way is a chain of nine correct answers.

0:01:570:02:01

Get a question wrong and you lose the money in the chain.

0:02:010:02:06

If you say "bank" before the question is asked, the money is safe,

0:02:060:02:11

but you start a new chain.

0:02:110:02:13

At the end of the round, only banked money can be taken forward.

0:02:130:02:20

Round One. Three minutes.

0:02:200:02:22

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

0:05:430:05:47

Who needs to go out with the rubbish? Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:05:470:05:52

The first weakest link is Darren, statistically.

0:05:550:05:58

The strongest is Louisa, but at this early stage, who will the players want off?

0:05:580:06:04

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

0:06:050:06:10

If somebody goes to the press

about something they think we've done wrong.

0:06:490:06:52

I think that's a very positive thing.

0:06:520:06:55

It's positive for the press, yes. It fills lots of space.

0:06:550:06:59

-Why Douglas?

-Because he got a question wrong.

0:06:590:07:03

Oh, that's very negative. How are you, Andy?

0:07:030:07:06

Mrs Robinson, I'm not too bad, thank you.

0:07:060:07:09

-Welsh, are you?

-I am, indeed. Can you tell?

0:07:090:07:12

Saying you came from Wrexham helped.

0:07:270:07:31

-Know anyone else who got one wrong?

-I do!

0:07:340:07:37

-Are you going back to teaching?

0:07:490:07:53

-I hope to.

-Kept up with life, have you?

0:07:530:07:56

I try to read the papers.

0:07:560:07:58

Do you? How come you don't know what IDS stands for?

0:07:580:08:02

-He's not made a great impression on me just yet.

-Hasn't he?

0:08:020:08:06

-Why Douglas?

-Because he was one that got a question wrong.

0:08:060:08:11

Well, Douglas, you've had a negative effect here.

0:08:110:08:15

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:08:150:08:17

Getting the piano question wrong was terrible.

0:08:240:08:28

I should know a grand piano is strung flat,

0:08:280:08:31

and the next time I see one, I'll smash it up!

0:08:310:08:34

I'd like to see Catherine go next. I thought she was vindictive in voting for me,

0:08:340:08:40

and, for no other reason than that, I'd see her vanish quickly!

0:08:400:08:44

Round Two.

0:08:450:08:47

So far, you've got £750. There are eight of you left.

0:08:470:08:51

In a reversal of fortune, Louisa is statistically weakest.

0:12:110:12:16

She gave the most wrong answers.

0:12:160:12:18

The strongest link is Catherine, but will the team notice?

0:12:180:12:22

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

0:12:230:12:28

Sam, you're an It boy, are you?

0:12:440:12:47

-That's right, Anne.

-What do you actually do?

0:12:470:12:50

I sell networking products. Cables, memory...

You sell memory? How do you sell memory?

0:12:580:13:02

I ring my customers in France or Belgium...

0:13:020:13:06

and sell them the product, do my pitch.

0:13:060:13:09

OK. I'm in France, and I speak English,

0:13:090:13:12

-and I've picked up the phone.

-Hello, Anne.

0:13:120:13:16

Hello, Sam.

0:13:160:13:18

-My name's Sam.

-Yeah, I know.

0:13:180:13:20

I work for so-and-so, and we sell memory.

HE LAUGHS That's normally good enough to buy.

0:13:230:13:28

-Wow(!)

-Yeah. I'm that good.

0:13:300:13:32

-Why Louisa?

-I do remember her getting a couple of questions wrong,

0:13:320:13:37

as did a few others.

0:13:370:13:40

But hers sort of stuck in my mind.

0:13:400:13:43

-Joanne, the train conductor.

-That's me.

0:13:430:13:46

-Do you have things round your neck?

Does it? And what do you say, Joanne?

0:14:020:14:05

"Put your mobile phone down, and give us your money."

0:14:050:14:09

-And what do they say?

-Usually they do put it down.

0:14:090:14:13

And what's the nicest customer?

0:14:130:14:15

They have money ready, and they're polite.

0:14:150:14:18

Why Louisa?

0:14:180:14:20

She got two wrong. I really believe she was the weakest.

0:14:200:14:24

-Do you use public transport, Bob?

-Not often.

0:14:240:14:27

-Why's that?

-Cos I live out in the sticks, and there isn't any.

0:14:270:14:32

Oh, right. And why are you getting rid of Louisa?

0:14:320:14:35

She got two wrong. I can't remember anyone else doing that.

0:14:350:14:39

Know anyone who got half their questions wrong?

0:14:390:14:42

-Who would that be?

-That would be me.

0:14:420:14:45

That would be Bob.

0:14:450:14:47

Well, statistically, Louisa was the worst,

0:14:470:14:51

and with six votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:14:510:14:55

I was really relieved to be voted off at that point

0:15:010:15:05

because I was getting nervous so probably it was for the best.

0:15:050:15:09

Catherine could be voted off next.

0:15:090:15:12

She got silly questions wrong

0:15:120:15:14

and maybe the team'll notice.

0:15:140:15:16

Round Three, team, and so far

0:15:160:15:18

you've banked £870.

0:15:180:15:20

You're down to seven players, another ten seconds off the time.

0:15:200:15:25

We'll start with the strongest link - Catherine.

0:15:250:15:28

0:33:080:33:10

Er, got a few questions wrong,

0:33:100:33:12

voted for me last time, last woman left -

0:33:120:33:15

take your choice.

0:33:150:33:17

Sam, did you think Sarah

0:33:170:33:19

was the weakest link?

0:33:190:33:21

Probably not, no.

0:33:210:33:22

Who do you think was?

0:33:220:33:24

Possibly me?

0:33:240:33:26

No "possibly".

0:33:260:33:27

-It was me, then.

-It was you.

0:33:270:33:30

Are you getting rid of the girl?

0:33:300:33:32

Yeah, it's male bonding.

0:33:320:33:34

Oh, is it?

0:33:340:33:36

Sarah, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:33:360:33:39

Two of the boys voted me off for being the last woman,

0:33:460:33:50

and, to be honest, I was feeling very vulnerable after the other girls went.

0:33:500:33:55

It's not right, the boys sticking together. They should give the stronger ones a chance.

0:33:550:34:01

Round Seven, team.

0:34:020:34:04

You've won £1,670. Three of you left,

0:34:040:34:07

another ten seconds coming off.

0:34:070:34:09

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

-Strasbourg -

0:36:150:36:17

Time's up and you banked £170.

0:36:210:36:24

In Round Eight you get the chance to treble what you bank, so there's £3,000 to be won.

0:36:240:36:29

The question is,

0:36:290:36:31

who is least likely to help you raise the bank balance? Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:36:310:36:38

At this pivotal stage, Sam has gone from the weakest link in the last round

0:36:400:36:45

to the strongest link in this.

0:36:450:36:47

Andy is the weakest link, as he got the most answers wrong.

0:36:470:36:51

But who will lose out in this final vote?

0:36:510:36:54

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

0:36:550:37:00

Darren,

0:37:100:37:11

-are you an honest sort of person?

-Most of the time.

0:37:110:37:15

When aren't you?

0:37:150:37:17

When I'm on this show and down to the last three.

0:37:170:37:21

-Why Sam?

-The boys in the corner were working well together.

0:37:210:37:25

Toilet-roll Andy...

0:37:250:37:26

That's a dirty move.

0:37:270:37:29

He's been out on a limb over there for a long time. It's time he went.

0:37:290:37:34

-He's the strongest link.

-Then I'd rather play Darren in the final.

0:37:340:37:39

Is that why you two keep voting the same?

0:37:390:37:41

I've tried to be fair. If Darren's on the same wavelength as me - OK.

0:37:410:37:47

Fair? Is that Welsh fair(?)

0:37:470:37:48

That's Welsh fair.

0:37:480:37:51

Sam, you're the victim of Welsh fair, jealousy,

0:37:510:37:55

and the fact that there's two cowards this side.

0:37:550:37:58

Sadly, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:37:590:38:02

I'm very annoyed I'm not in the final.

0:38:090:38:12

If I'd faced either Andy or Darren, I could have beaten both of them,

0:38:120:38:17

I'm confident in that.

0:38:170:38:18

I just think it was very cowardly.

0:38:180:38:21

Round Eight.

0:38:220:38:23

You've won £1,840. There are two of you left.

0:38:230:38:27

You have 90 seconds, but whatever you win in this round will be trebled.

0:38:270:38:32

So £3,000 is at stake.

0:38:320:38:36

In your wisdom,

0:38:360:38:37

and your courage,

0:38:370:38:39

you voted off the strongest link last round.

0:38:390:38:42

0:40:300:40:35

means prize money of...

0:40:350:40:37

But only one of you can take this home,

0:40:380:40:41

so now you'll play against each other head to head.

0:40:410:40:45

I'll ask alternating questions, best of five. Whoever answers the most correctly wins.

0:40:450:40:51

let's play The Weakest Link.

Slightly lucky to be in the final, bit sorry for Sam,

0:43:390:43:42

but I didn't want to be against him in the final.

0:43:420:43:46

Voting Sam off was a tough decision,

0:43:460:43:48

but it turned out the right one.

0:43:480:43:50

I'm a bit deflated. I was nearly there,

0:43:500:43:53

but I'm going away with nothing.

0:43:530:43:55

I'm delighted to have won,

0:43:550:43:58

cos I'm very skint and the money's going to be fantastic.
