Here are today's team

0:00:020:00:03

preparing for the show. Only one of them

0:00:030:00:06

will get prize money of up to £10,000.

0:00:060:00:09

The others leave with nothing

0:00:090:00:12

as their team-mates vote them the weakest link.

0:00:120:00:15

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:290:00:31

Any of the nine people in the studio here today

0:00:330:00:36

could win up to £10,000.

0:00:360:00:40

They don't know each other,

0:00:400:00:42

but if they want the money, they have to work as a team.

0:00:420:00:46

Eight of them will leave with nothing

0:00:460:00:49

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

0:00:490:00:53

Let's meet the team.

0:00:530:00:55

I'm Keith, 33.

0:00:570:00:58

I'm a restaurant manager from Basingstoke, but I live in Scotland.

0:00:580:01:03

I'm Katie, 21, a travel and tourism student from Doncaster.

0:01:040:01:08

I'm Zuher. I'm 38, a marketing consultant from Croydon.

0:01:090:01:14

My name is Sylvia. I'm 55, a taxi driver from Jersey.

0:01:150:01:18

I'm Alex, 22, a modern languages student from Barnsley.

0:01:200:01:24

I'm Julie-Ann, 40, a local government officer in Newcastle.

0:01:240:01:28

I'm Phillip. I'm 55 years old.

0:01:290:01:31

I'm a retired prison officer from Falkirk.

0:01:310:01:35

I'm Fiona. I'm 40. I'm a sales manager and live in Oxford.

0:01:350:01:39

I'm David, 29 and a head chef in Cumbria.

0:01:400:01:44

Now, the rules.

0:01:440:01:46

The aim is to answer

0:01:460:01:48

enough questions to reach a £1,000 target

0:01:480:01:51

in the time limit. The fastest way is a chain

0:01:510:01:54

of nine correct answers.

0:01:540:01:56

A wrong answer breaks the chain

0:01:560:01:58

and you lose all the money in it.

0:01:580:02:01

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

0:02:010:02:05

but you start a new chain from scratch.

0:02:050:02:08

At the end of the round, only banked money goes forward.

0:02:080:02:12

Round One has three minutes on the clock.

0:02:120:02:15

We start with the first name alphabetically. Alex.

0:02:150:02:19

Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:02:190:02:21

The first question is for £20. Start the clock.

0:02:220:02:26

0:02:260:02:29

Green.

0:02:290:02:30

0:02:580:02:59

In the US TV series,

Sarah Michelle Gellar plays Buffy The Vampire what?

0:03:010:03:05

Slayer.

0:03:050:03:06

In the saying, when pretending not to show interest,

0:03:060:03:10

you're playing hard to what?

0:03:100:03:12

Get.

0:03:120:03:14

What do the British call the part of a car known in the US as a trunk?

0:03:140:03:18

The boot.

0:03:180:03:19

Bank.

0:03:190:03:21

OK. You've reached and banked your £1,000 target.

0:03:230:03:26

That money will go into the next round,

0:03:260:03:29

but one of you will not.

0:03:290:03:32

Remember...

0:03:320:03:34

you'll have 10 seconds less.

0:03:340:03:37

Who is least likely

0:03:370:03:38

to cope with the additional pressure?

0:03:380:03:42

Is someone already worrying you?

0:03:420:03:45

You must streamline the team.

0:03:450:03:47

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:03:470:03:50

They hit the target in the shortest possible time.

0:03:520:03:56

The strongest link is Alex and the weakest Julie-Ann.

0:03:560:04:00

How will the team choose who to vote off next?

0:04:000:04:03

Voting over. Reveal who you think is the weakest link.

0:04:040:04:08

Katie.

0:04:270:04:29

-What do you do?

-I'm a travel and tourism student.

0:04:290:04:33

-What does that mean?

-I'm a student in travel and tourism in Doncaster.

0:04:330:04:38

Do you have to talk to people when you graduate?

0:04:380:04:42

-Yes, Anne.

-Fiona got nothing wrong. Why do you want her to go?

0:04:420:04:46

It was purely hesitation. We all did well.

0:04:460:04:50

She hesitated a bit before she gave the answer.

0:04:500:04:53

Sylvia, why Fiona?

0:04:540:04:56

I knew a Fiona and didn't like the name. I had to pick someone!

0:04:560:05:01

Cheers.

0:05:010:05:02

Alex, why have you picked Fiona?

0:05:020:05:05

It was just the hesitancy on her question.

0:05:050:05:09

No other reason.

0:05:090:05:10

-You're not going to be hesitant?

-I hope not, Anne.

0:05:100:05:14

So do I, Alex. So do I.

0:05:140:05:17

Fiona, you didn't get a question wrong.

0:05:170:05:20

Sylvia doesn't like your name. Alex thinks you hesitated.

0:05:200:05:25

Four votes. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:05:250:05:28

To be voted off like that was unfair.

0:05:350:05:37

It's because I'm blonde. That's what it is. They think blonde and stupid.

0:05:370:05:43

I'm not. I was annoyed to do the walk of shame.

0:05:430:05:46

I'd give Anne a run for her money.

0:05:460:05:49

I felt really, really confident

0:05:490:05:51

and to go in the first round, I'm stunned.

0:05:510:05:54

Round Two. You have £1000. Eight of you left. Ten seconds gone.

0:05:570:06:01

We start with the strongest link from the last round Alex.

0:06:010:06:06

And that was an enormous

0:09:040:09:08

downhill journey.

0:09:080:09:10

In the second round, you banked only £190.

0:09:100:09:16

Who is definitely too slow and stupid to stay? Whose knowledge is sadly inadequate?

0:09:160:09:23

One of you is about to leave with nothing. Vote off the weakest link.

0:09:230:09:28

Phillip is the strongest link.

0:09:300:09:32

Statistically, Keith is the weakest link.

0:09:320:09:36

But will the others have picked up on this?

0:09:360:09:39

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

0:09:400:09:45

Just to remind you, team, that you only banked

0:09:590:10:03

£190 in that last round.

0:10:030:10:06

So some strategy is required.

0:10:060:10:09

Phillip.

0:10:090:10:10

-What do you do?

-Retired, Anne.

-From?

0:10:100:10:13

The prison service.

0:10:130:10:15

-Did you read a lot in jail?

-No. But I saw a lot.

0:10:150:10:18

You haven't answered a question incorrectly yet.

0:10:200:10:23

That's just the listening to people.

0:10:230:10:26

You gain a lot of information that way.

0:10:260:10:29

-When you lock them up?

-And when you open them up.

0:10:290:10:32

-Why Keith?

-He lost us £600.

0:10:320:10:35

-£500, actually.

-Sorry.

0:10:360:10:38

-Zuher, how's it going for you?

-So far, so good.

0:10:380:10:42

-Really? Not done a lot of rowing in your time?

-No, no. Not at all.

0:10:420:10:46

Not a popular sport in Croydon, rowing?

0:10:460:10:50

Not when I last looked, no!

0:10:500:10:53

Why Keith?

0:10:530:10:55

Again, he lost £500, as you pointed out rightly.

0:10:550:10:58

-David.

-Yes.

-What do you do?

0:10:580:11:00

-I'm a head chef.

-What do you wear on your head?

0:11:000:11:04

-A hat.

-Oh, I thought you wore espadrilles!

0:11:040:11:07

Yeah... My mouth bypassed my brain on that question.

0:11:080:11:11

-Will it be doing that often, David?

-I hope not.

0:11:110:11:15

-Why Keith?

-He got more questions wrong than me.

0:11:150:11:18

Keith, the restaurant manager who hasn't heard of hiccups or of muslin.

0:11:180:11:24

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:11:240:11:26

When I saw my name over and over, I thought,

0:11:320:11:35

"Oh, well. Back to Scotland." I knew I mucked up.

0:11:350:11:39

So I was expecting it. I got one question wrong,

0:11:390:11:43

and I knew that was it.

0:11:430:11:45

There's no-one I want to go next, but I think it'll be David. He's...

0:11:450:11:50

getting a couple wrong, so I think he'll falter.

0:11:500:11:54

Round Three. There is £1190 in the kitty. There are seven of you left.

0:15:020:15:08

Sylvia was the only one to get all her questions right,

0:15:090:15:13

so she is the strongest link.

0:15:130:15:15

Phillip has gone from strongest link to weakest link.

0:15:150:15:19

But will his earlier performance save him from the vote?

0:15:190:15:23

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

0:15:250:15:30

We have a tie. Zuher and Phillip have three votes each.

0:15:440:15:48

Phillip.

0:15:490:15:51

You peaked and went away.

Started off badly and got worse.

-Why Phillip?

-Because he got two questions wrong.

0:16:110:16:16

I remember him

0:16:160:16:18

getting two questions wrong, so I voted for him.

0:16:180:16:21

-No, he got three wrong.

-Did he? Well...

0:16:210:16:24

I thought it was two.

0:16:250:16:26

-You got one wrong, didn't you?

-I did. Just one.

0:16:270:16:31

Well, when the vote's tied

0:16:310:16:33

the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote Sylvia.

0:16:330:16:38

Do you know someone called Phillip you don't like?

0:16:380:16:42

No. There's nothing wrong with the name Phillip, but he was the weakest link, and he should go.

0:16:420:16:49

You can change your mind if you want.

0:16:490:16:51

-No, I don't think I want to. He was the weakest link.

-Statistically, you're right.

0:16:510:16:57

You didn't learn in jail. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:16:570:17:01

My mind blanked on the first question. I got that wrong,

0:17:080:17:12

and then it was hard to recover.

0:17:120:17:15

It was a tie, but I was the weakest link.

0:17:150:17:18

The game says you get rid of the weakest. I was, so I'm off.

0:17:180:17:22

Everybody now is starting to show nerves, even myself.

0:17:220:17:26

I didn't think I'd be nervous, but when you get one wrong,

0:17:260:17:30

and the money's not coming in, it gets to you.

0:17:300:17:34

Round Four. There's £1410 in the kitty. Six of you left.

In that round, you put into the kitty £370.

0:20:290:20:32

But who is not up to the standard of the rest of you?

0:20:320:20:36

I urge you, turf the tiresome, heave the hopeless, ditch the ditherer.

0:20:360:20:41

Vote off the weakest link.

0:20:410:20:43

Alex is the strongest link statistically.

0:20:450:20:48

Julie-Ann is the weakest link for the second time.

0:20:480:20:52

But can she survive another vote?

0:20:520:20:54

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

0:20:560:21:01

Alex. Remind us what you do.

And will you be doing anything after that?

0:21:190:21:22

She got a couple of questions wrong.

0:21:440:21:47

Although she banked money.

0:21:470:21:49

David, who wears espadrilles on his head.

How's it going for you?

0:22:040:22:06

I keep... Phew! Just about there.

0:22:060:22:08

Just about there. Did Julie-Ann not keep just about there?

0:22:080:22:13

I thought she got one more question wrong than me.

0:22:130:22:16

She did. Julie-Ann,

0:22:160:22:19

who specialises in TV and has never heard of the American programme Diff'rent Strokes,

0:22:190:22:26

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:22:260:22:28

I got the most votes because I hesitated with my wrong answers.

0:22:350:22:40

Other people just said theirs.

0:22:400:22:42

I think Katie will be voted off next.

0:22:420:22:45

She got as many wrong answers as me,

0:22:450:22:47

and she didn't bank as much money as I did.

0:22:470:22:50

Round Five.

Who now is dazed and confused?

0:25:390:25:42

Who is too bemused and bewildered to remain?

0:25:420:25:46

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:25:460:25:49

Zuher is the strongest link to go by the statistics.

0:25:510:25:55

David failed to give any correct answers and is the weakest link.

0:25:550:26:00

But will the voting follow the facts?

0:26:000:26:03

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

0:26:050:26:10

-Alex...

-Anne...

0:26:220:26:24

-Why David?

-He had a pretty bad round, that round.

0:26:240:26:27

He didn't seem to get any questions right.

0:26:270:26:31

Sylvia...what do you do?

0:26:310:26:33

I'm a taxi driver, Anne.

0:26:330:26:35

Do you get much right when you drive?

0:26:350:26:38

I get routes right. But I don't work the Severn-Avon area.

0:26:380:26:42

Why David?

0:26:420:26:44

I think he probably had a poor round, that round.

0:26:440:26:47

-Do you think you had a poor round?

-I had an atrocious round!

0:26:470:26:51

-Katie, remind us what you do.

-I'm a travel and tourism student.

0:26:520:26:57

And what does that mean?

You learn about...um...travelling,

0:26:590:27:02

-and tourism development in other countries.

-Do you?

0:27:020:27:06

And take us through the career of David Gower with Scunthorpe United.

0:27:060:27:11

It just went out of my head.

0:27:110:27:13

I didn't know any cricketers played for them.

0:27:130:27:16

He was the first one I thought of.

0:27:160:27:19

You don't think it's part of travel and tourism

0:27:200:27:23

to know about English cricketers?

0:27:230:27:26

Not really, Anne, no. Just the names of the grounds.

0:27:260:27:30

Why David?

0:27:300:27:32

He kept answering wrong. I couldn't bank any money.

0:27:320:27:35

And he's the one I noticed because he's in front of me.

0:27:350:27:39

David, your career as a general knowledge contestant is coming to an end.

0:27:390:27:44

I'm sorry we don't have an espadrille to put on your head as you go.

0:27:440:27:49

You ARE the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:27:490:27:52

Anne picked on me over the espadrilles.

0:27:590:28:02

I came for the Anne Robinson experience.

0:28:020:28:05

I wasn't disappointed. It was fantastic. I loved every minute.

0:28:050:28:10

I think Katie should go because she seems very nervous out there,

0:28:100:28:15

and the other three seem much stronger than her.

0:28:150:28:18

Round Six, and you have won £1870 when you could have had £5000.

0:28:210:28:28

With four of you left, we cut 10 more seconds off your time.

0:28:280:28:32

We start with our current strongest link Zuher.

Sylvia got all her questions right.

0:31:060:31:09

She is the strongest link for the second time.

0:31:090:31:12

Katie got none of hers right, making her the weakest link.

0:31:120:31:17

But who will lose out in the vote?

0:31:170:31:19

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

0:31:220:31:27

She is a nice young lady.

Zuher from sunny Croydon. Remind us what you do.

Katie, tourism and cricket buff,

0:32:160:32:19

I saw the cards and felt I deserved it.

0:32:300:32:33

It was a terrible round!

0:32:330:32:35

I think it would have been worse to be voted off the last three.

0:32:350:32:39

I got spared that. But I'd still like to be up there.

0:32:390:32:42

I'd like Zuher to be standing here right now, because

0:32:420:32:47

from the very start he was voting me off,

0:32:470:32:49

which I think was totally unfair

0:32:490:32:52

because I wasn't the weakest link.

0:32:520:32:54

Round Seven.

0:32:570:32:58

Three of you left, another ten seconds off the time.

0:32:580:33:02

We start with our strongest link. That's Sylvia.

0:33:020:33:06

Let's play...The Weakest Link.

Bank.

0:35:060:35:08

Time's up. You banked just in time.

0:35:110:35:13

That brought your total for the round to £140.

0:35:130:35:17

In Round Eight you get the chance to treble what you bank

0:35:170:35:21

so in Round Eight there's £3000 to be won.

0:35:210:35:24

The question is...

0:35:240:35:26

Who have you had enough of?

0:35:260:35:28

Who is least likely

0:35:280:35:31

to assist in raising that bank balance?

0:35:310:35:34

Have the courage to vote off the weakest link.

0:35:350:35:38

Sylvia is strongest link for the third time.

0:35:400:35:43

Alex got none of his questions right.

0:35:440:35:47

He is the weakest link.

0:35:470:35:49

But at this crucial stage of the game,

0:35:490:35:51

WHO is about to take the Walk of Shame?

0:35:510:35:54

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

0:35:560:36:01

Sylvia, why Alex?

0:36:090:36:11

Alex had a very poor round, that round.

0:36:110:36:14

Zuher, Tell us a bit more, because you know about tourism, don't you?

0:36:140:36:19

About a specific area, yes.

0:36:190:36:21

Does that include this area where they make carpets

0:36:210:36:25

in a town called Shag Pile?

0:36:250:36:27

ZUHER GIGGLES No.

0:36:270:36:29

No, this is more international.

0:36:290:36:32

Well, tell us a bit about shag pile.

0:36:320:36:34

That's the only carpet I know.

0:36:340:36:36

You have shag pile in your house?

0:36:360:36:39

No, no. In the '70s but not any more... I hope.

0:36:390:36:42

Why Alex?

0:36:420:36:44

-Like I said before, I think he had the most wrong.

-Indeed.

0:36:440:36:48

He's allegedly taking French but knows no French artists.

0:36:480:36:52

With two votes you ARE the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:36:520:36:55

It feels absolutely gutting to get this close and be voted off.

0:37:030:37:08

I feel Zuher should be here. He was worse

0:37:080:37:11

throughout the rounds.

0:37:110:37:13

He was hanging on by the skin of his teeth at the end.

0:37:130:37:16

He got a couple of lucky questions in the last round. And I'm gutted.

0:37:160:37:21

Sylvia will win. She has more general knowledge.

0:37:210:37:24

There's no justice if she doesn't.

0:37:240:37:27

Round Eight.

0:37:290:37:31

There is £2160 in the bank.

0:37:310:37:35

There are only two of you left

0:37:350:37:37

Zuher and Sylvia and this time you have just 90 seconds,

0:37:370:37:42

but whatever you win here will be trebled and added to your total prize money.

0:37:420:37:48

So £3000 is at stake in this round.

0:37:480:37:50

We start with existing strongest link Sylvia.

0:37:500:37:54

Let's play... The Weakest Link. Start the clock.

0:37:540:37:57

0:39:300:39:32

which we'll treble and add to the winnings from the other rounds.

0:39:320:39:37

That means prize money today of...

0:39:370:39:39

Only one of you can take all that away

0:39:410:39:43

You now play each other head-to-head.

0:39:430:39:46

I ask alternate questions.

0:39:460:39:48

It's best of five. Whoever gives the most correct answers wins.

0:39:480:39:53

If it's a tie after five, we go to Sudden Death till we get a winner.

0:39:530:39:57

So, Zuher and Sylvia, for £2640, let's play The Weakest Link.

0:39:570:40:05

I don't mind being pipped at the post.
