Here are our nine contestants.

0:00:020:00:05

Only one will take home prize money. The rest will leave with nothing

0:00:050:00:10

as one by one, they're voted off as The Weakest Link.

0:00:100:00:16

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:280:00:31

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

0:00:330:00:39

If they want that prize money they will have to work as a team,

0:00:390:00:44

but eight of them will leave with nothing as round by round, we lose the player voted The Weakest Link.

0:00:440:00:51

Let's meet the teams.

0:00:510:00:54

I'm David. I'm 56. I'm a retired sub-postmaster.

0:01:450:01:49

to reach your £1,000 target in the time limit.

0:01:490:01:53

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

0:01:530:01:58

Get your question wrong, you break the chain.

0:01:580:02:02

If you say bank before the question is asked, the money is safe, but you start a new chain from scratch.

0:02:020:02:09

Only money that has been banked is taken forward. In round one, there are three minutes on the clock.

Time's up. You banked £900, but don't feel too pleased with yourselves

0:05:300:05:36

In an impressive first round, Glenys is the strongest link.

0:06:020:06:06

The weakest link is Emma.

0:06:060:06:09

But will the votes follow the facts?

0:06:090:06:13

Voting's over. It's time to reveal who you think is The Weakest Link.

0:07:590:08:05

-You stumbled.

-I did.

-That's all Gareth did.

0:08:050:08:09

He knew the answer, he just stumbled.

I'm upset about going out so early.

0:23:460:23:52

Would it surprise you to know you voted exactly the same as Simon?

0:23:520:23:58

-It's telepathy.

-Why Oliver then?

0:23:580:24:00

I thought he got two questions wrong.

0:24:000:24:04

Oliver, we'll never know whether you can sing.

0:24:040:24:07

With five votes, you are the Weakest Link.

0:24:070:24:10

Simon rubbed me up a bit the wrong way.

0:24:170:24:20

I could answer his but he couldn't answer mine.

If he's the next one out, I won't be disappointed.

0:27:130:27:19

It's time to vote off The Weakest Link.

0:27:190:27:23

Statistically the strongest link is Glenys.

0:27:230:27:26

Martyn is the weakest link but he did bank money for the team.

0:27:260:27:31

Will that save him from the vote?

0:27:310:27:34

Voting over. It's time to reveal who you think is The Weakest Link.

0:27:340:27:40

We have a tie. Simon and Moira, two votes each. Moira, why Simon?

0:27:500:27:57

He got questions wrong so I voted for him.

0:27:570:28:01

Simon, whose partner is a feminist film lecturer,

0:28:010:28:05

whatever that is, how come you don't know about American Beauty?

0:28:050:28:10

-It's too mainstream.

0:28:140:28:20

-Did you think she was The Weakest Link?

-Voting for me is good enough.

0:28:200:28:25

With the votes tied, the strongest link has the deciding vote.

0:28:250:28:30

The strongest link in the last round was our creative writer.

0:28:300:28:34

Glenys, why did you vote for Simon?

0:28:340:28:39

I remember him getting questions wrong and he lost money and the telepathy has gone.

0:28:390:28:45

You now have a choice. You can get rid of Simon or Moira.

0:28:450:28:50

-I'll stick with Simon.

-Why?

-I thought he was the weakest link.

0:28:500:28:56

Actually, the worst player was Martyn.

0:28:560:28:59

Simon, you are The Weakest Link, goodbye!

0:28:590:29:03

Moira should be here now, not me.

0:29:090:29:12

She's been dropping easy questions.

0:29:120:29:15

She has camouflaged herself and she's getting away with murder.

0:29:150:29:20

I'm kicking myself over missing the American Beauty question.

0:29:200:29:25

0:32:210:32:24

As the only player to answer all questions correctly, Moira is the strongest link.

0:32:260:32:32

With the most wrong answers, Glenys is the weakest link. But will the others be aware of that?

0:32:320:32:40

Time to reveal who you think is The Weakest Link.

0:32:400:32:44

We have another tie.

0:32:560:32:58

Martyn and David. Two votes each.

0:33:120:33:17

I thought he was in this round as well, and I knew he'd vote for me.

0:33:170:33:23

If the votes are tied, the strongest link casts the deciding vote.

0:33:230:33:27

Moira, why Martyn?

0:33:270:33:31

I'd be lonely over here without David,

0:33:310:33:34

and the other two may gang up on me.

0:33:340:33:37

-You've got a choice now.

-I'll stick with Martyn.

0:33:370:33:40

The worst player statistically in the last round, was Glenys.

0:33:400:33:46

But Martyn, you are The Weakest Link. No career here. Goodbye.

0:33:460:33:51

I'm cheesed off being voted off this late. I wasn't the weakest link.

0:33:580:34:04

Moira's excuses for voting me off were pretty poor.

0:34:040:34:08

David should be here. He paused for an awful long time. Moira should have voted for him.

0:34:080:34:15

In hindsight, I wish I had voted Glenys off,

0:44:010:44:04

and met David in the final - I would have won.

0:44:040:44:08

Winning The Weakest Link is amazing. I never expected to.
