Nine contestants are preparing for the show.

0:00:010:00:04

Only one will win prize money of up to £10,000.

0:00:040:00:08

The rest will leave with nothing as one by one they're voted off as the weakest link.

0:00:080:00:14

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:280:00:30

Any of the nine people in the studio here today

0:00:320:00:36

could win up to £10,000.

0:00:360:00:39

They don't know each other,

0:00:390:00:41

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

0:00:410:00:44

But eight will leave with nothing,

0:00:440:00:47

as round by round we lose the player voted the weakest link. Let's meet the team.

0:00:470:00:53

I'm Oliver. I'm 47. I'm from Chalfont St Peter. I'm an optician.

0:00:550:01:00

I'm Rebecca. I'm 32. I live in Wiltshire. I'm an account manager.

0:01:010:01:06

I'm Rachel. I'm 20. I'm from East Sussex. I'm a student.

0:01:070:01:11

I'm Brian. I'm 46. I'm from Merseyside.

0:01:120:01:15

I'm a freelance highway engineer.

0:01:150:01:18

I'm Ronda. I'm 30 from Northern Ireland where I teach English and French.

0:01:180:01:23

I'm Will. I'm 25. I'm from Windsor and I'm a tournament-playing professional golfer.

0:01:240:01:31

0:01:450:01:52

The rules: the aim is to answer enough questions correctly

0:01:520:01:56

to reach your £1,000 target within the time limit. The fastest way

0:01:560:02:01

is to create a chain of nine correct answers.

0:02:010:02:05

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

0:02:050:02:09

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

0:02:090:02:14

However, you start a new chain from scratch.

0:02:140:02:17

At the end of the round only banked money can be taken forward. In Round One

0:02:170:02:24

there are three minutes on the clock.

0:02:240:02:26

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

0:05:350:05:36

FIONA: Bank.

0:05:370:05:39

Time's up and the bank was out of time, which is a pity.

0:05:400:05:44

Because it was an appalling first round.

0:05:440:05:48

You achieved a tragic £110.

0:05:480:05:53

Who's past their best? It's a hard decision but it's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:05:530:05:58

The first strongest link is Will. The statistics show that Fiona is the weakest link.

0:06:010:06:07

But who will they vote off at this early stage?

0:06:070:06:10

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

0:06:110:06:16

Oliver, what do you do?

0:06:340:06:35

I'm an optician, Anne. Who do you work for?

0:06:350:06:38

I own my own practice. Do you?

0:06:380:06:41

Those aren't your glasses you've got on there?

0:06:410:06:44

One of them, Anne, yes. Oh.

0:06:440:06:46

Do you sell many of those? We do, yes.

0:06:460:06:49

To people with beards who look like you? Yes, Anne.

0:06:490:06:53

Dear, dear. Why Fiona?

0:06:530:06:54

I thought she struggled as much as I did.

0:06:540:06:57

What do you do, Rebecca?

0:06:570:06:59

0:07:070:07:12

and any other expenses which you might suffer.

0:07:120:07:16

Oh. Do you make a profit?

0:07:160:07:18

Well, we're in a business. We're not a charity.

0:07:180:07:21

So I must make a loss, then.

0:07:210:07:23

Why Fiona? She got two questions wrong.

Maths isn't my strong point. Clearly.

Where are you studying? In Cardiff.

0:07:370:07:40

Are they all as thick as you? Pretty much, yeah. Why Fiona?

0:07:400:07:44

Um...I think...

0:07:440:07:46

she got as many questions wrong as I did.

0:07:460:07:49

She was the worst player. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:07:490:07:53

I'm very relieved to be off. It's a lot of pressure.

0:08:010:08:05

It's a lot harder than it looks.

0:08:050:08:07

I'd like to see Oliver go next. He thinks he's brighter than he is.

0:08:070:08:12

Round Two. A lamentable £110 in the kitty out of a possible £1,000.

0:08:130:08:20

0:11:230:11:31

Who has no beginning to their talent?

0:11:310:11:35

Or who has no end to their ignorance?

0:11:350:11:37

It's time to vote off... the weakest link.

Rebecca is the strongest link with the most right answers.

0:11:430:11:47

Statistically, Oliver is the weakest link but can he survive the vote?

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

Will...you're a golfer. Correct, yes.

0:12:170:12:20

Do many golfers wear necklaces? I don't know. Maybe. They're beads, not a necklace.

0:12:200:12:26

What's the difference? Necklaces are worn by women. So are beads.

0:12:260:12:31

Why Oliver? He got a bit flustered.

0:12:310:12:33

You're not going to get flustered? Who knows?

0:12:330:12:38

0:13:030:13:07

0:13:070:13:14

He should have got that body question.

0:13:140:13:17

The Elle MacPherson one. Perhaps he can't see well. He was the worst player.

0:13:170:13:22

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

0:13:220:13:25

I got the Elle MacPherson question wrong because I didn't pay much attention to her body.

0:13:330:13:39

Brian should be voted off. He's the strongest.

0:13:390:13:42

Tactically it would be good to get rid of him.

0:13:420:13:46

Round Three and you've only made it to £330. You're down to seven players.

0:13:470:13:52

Another ten seconds coming off your time.

0:18:080:18:13

You organise sleeping policemen?

0:18:130:18:15

In my current post I do, unfortunately. Do you?

0:18:150:18:19

So if along my road...

0:18:190:18:21

you suddenly put sleeping policemen that make it bumpy and noisy when I'm sleeping,

0:18:210:18:26

what do you do about that?

0:18:260:18:28

We take on board your complaints...

0:18:280:18:33

and put them in anyway, usually. Why John?

0:18:330:18:36

It was the hesitation. It stood out. We were going well up to then.

0:18:360:18:40

It seemed to spoil the flow of it.

0:18:400:18:43

Well, statistically he was the worst player.

0:18:430:18:46

So, John. Knees bent, arms straight, mouth closed. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:18:460:18:53

I am kicking myself for actually...

0:19:000:19:04

pausing so long. My mind went blank. It was almost there.

0:19:040:19:07

I took far too long trying to remember it. Rachel will be off next.

0:19:070:19:12

She's fumbled over a few and missed a few easy ones.

0:19:120:19:15

Any maths question and I think she'll be off.

0:19:150:19:18

Round Four and you've banked just £830. You're down to six players.

0:19:190:19:25

Ten seconds off the time.

0:19:250:19:27

We'll start with the strongest link - Nick. Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:19:270:19:32

Start the clock.

0:22:030:22:05

Time's up,

0:22:080:22:09

and you hardly get any better.

0:22:090:22:11

You banked only £140.

0:22:120:22:16

Who really is now skating on thin ice?

0:22:160:22:19

Who's on their last legs?

0:22:190:22:21

Who should walk the walk?

0:22:210:22:23

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:22:230:22:26

With no correct answers, Rachel is the weakest link.

0:22:280:22:32

The only player to get all answers, Rebecca is the strongest link.

0:22:320:22:37

Will the voting reflect the statistics?

0:22:370:22:40

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

0:22:410:22:46

We have a tie, team.

0:23:000:23:02

Rachel and Brian, three votes each.

0:23:030:23:06

Brian, when you're not making

0:23:060:23:10

residents' lives a misery by putting sleeping policemen outside houses,

0:23:100:23:15

so every car and lorry makes a noise when they're trying to get some rest,

0:23:150:23:20

what else do you work on?

0:23:200:23:22

Motorways, Anne.

0:23:220:23:24

What do you do on motorways?

0:23:240:23:26

Apparently, I get lost on them. You certainly get lost.

0:23:260:23:30

Do you order the cones?

0:23:300:23:32

I do, yeah.

0:23:320:23:34

Why do the cones go out long before any roadworks start,

0:23:340:23:38

and stay out long after they have finished?

0:23:380:23:41

It does look like there's not a lot happening, but there is.

0:23:410:23:45

Why vote for Rachel?

0:23:450:23:47

Because I've never had any money to bank,

0:23:470:23:50

consistently, through the game.

0:23:500:23:53

So, Rachel. Law with German.

0:23:530:23:55

Do you think you should be here?

0:23:550:23:58

Probably not, no.

0:23:580:23:59

Why Brian?

0:23:590:24:01

Um, because...

0:24:010:24:02

next to me, he was the worst player.

0:24:020:24:05

He'd have to go some

0:24:050:24:07

to be as bad as you, Rachel.

0:24:070:24:09

When the vote's tied,

0:24:090:24:11

the strongest link has the deciding vote. That was Rebecca.

0:24:110:24:15

Why Brian?

0:24:150:24:17

The question about the roads stood out for me.

0:24:170:24:21

Did you think he was statistically the worst player?

0:24:210:24:26

Having heard the rest of the conversations, I'm not sure any more.

0:24:260:24:30

You now have a choice between Rachel and Brian.

0:24:300:24:34

Who do you want to go?

0:24:340:24:35

I'll change my vote to Rachel.

0:24:350:24:38

Why?

0:24:380:24:39

He's good for entertainment. He winds you up about sleeping policemen.

0:24:390:24:44

That's because someone once put one outside my house.

0:24:440:24:48

Rachel, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:24:480:24:51

I'm not surprised Rebecca changed her vote to me,

0:24:560:25:00

because I did do badly, and Brian is good for entertainment value.

0:25:000:25:05

I'd like to see Will go off next, because he's a bit smug.

0:25:050:25:09

He's into his golf, but I don't think he's that good.

0:25:090:25:12

Round Five, and you still haven't got to £1,000.

0:25:140:25:18

You have only £970 in the kitty.

0:25:180:25:20

You're down to five players. Ten seconds coming off your time.

0:25:200:25:24

We'll start with the strongest link, Rebecca.

0:25:240:25:28

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

0:27:470:27:48

Groucho Marx famously said, "I don't want to belong to any organisation..."

0:27:480:27:53

Time's up. I can't complete the question.

0:27:530:27:56

You banked £340.

0:27:560:27:57

Who clearly is not up to the standard of the rest of you?

0:27:570:28:01

Who's the millstone round your neck?

0:28:010:28:04

Who's more ornament than use?

0:28:040:28:06

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:28:060:28:09

According to the statistics, Ronda is the strongest link.

0:28:110:28:15

Will is the weakest link, but who will the team want off?

0:28:150:28:19

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

0:28:200:28:25

So, Brian, what do you do

0:28:370:28:40

when you're not designing traffic jams?

0:28:400:28:43

I do a bit of running - general sports.

0:28:430:28:46

That's a very clever thing to do along the roads.

0:28:460:28:49

As you're in charge of making them such a difficulty for motorists,

0:28:490:28:54

the best thing to do is to run.

0:28:540:28:57

I've never thought of it that way.

0:28:570:28:59

Why do you run?

0:28:590:29:01

If you met my missus...

0:29:010:29:03

No, generally to keep myself fit. Stop myself ballooning too much.

0:29:030:29:08

Why Will?

0:29:080:29:09

If I'm not mistaken, I think he got two questions wrong,

0:29:090:29:14

more than anybody else.

0:29:140:29:16

Rebecca, when you're not flogging insurance to us that we don't need, what do you do?

0:29:160:29:22

Um, I play saxophone.

0:29:220:29:25

Do you? You don't look groovy enough.

0:29:250:29:27

Looks can be deceiving.

0:29:270:29:29

Have you got big lips, then?

0:29:290:29:31

You don't need big lips.

0:29:310:29:33

What do you need big?

0:29:330:29:34

A big saxophone's always good.

0:29:340:29:37

Is it? Why Will?

0:29:370:29:39

He got a few questions wrong in that round.

0:29:390:29:42

He was well below par.

0:29:420:29:44

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

0:29:440:29:48

I feel miffed to have been voted off. It's disappointing.

0:29:540:29:59

I got worse as the programme went on, rather than better.

0:29:590:30:03

I think Rebecca will win,

0:30:030:30:05

because she's got the best breadth of knowledge.

0:30:050:30:08

Round Six. £1,310 in the kitty.

0:30:100:30:13

Four left, ten more seconds off the time.

0:30:130:30:16

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

0:30:160:30:21

In religion, the translation...

0:32:310:32:33

You banked £170.

0:32:380:32:40

Who's the blot on your landscape?

0:32:410:32:44

Who won't let sleeping policemen lie?

0:32:440:32:48

Who needs to be taught a lesson,

0:32:480:32:51

and whose insurance maybe shouldn't be renewed?

0:32:510:32:54

Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:32:540:32:57

Statistically, Rebecca is the weakest link.

0:32:590:33:02

With all his answers right, Brian's the strongest link.

0:33:020:33:06

But will the votes follow the facts?

0:33:060:33:09

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

0:33:100:33:15

Ronda...

0:33:270:33:28

why Nick?

0:33:280:33:30

I felt that I had answered quite a few questions correctly, and had waited to bank,

0:33:300:33:35

then sometimes the money was lost.

0:33:350:33:38

Did you think he was the weakest link? I did.

0:33:380:33:42

Statistically, he wasn't, was he?

0:33:420:33:44

If you say so.

0:33:460:33:48

Who was the worst player?

0:33:480:33:50

From the look you're giving me, I'd say it was me.

0:33:500:33:53

Why Nick? He was the weakest link.

0:33:530:33:56

No. You were the worst player, but it's votes that count.

0:33:560:34:00

With three votes you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:34:000:34:04

Rebecca should be standing in my place.

0:34:120:34:15

She was statistically the weakest link in that round,

0:34:150:34:19

and she should be off, not me.

0:34:190:34:21

Round Seven. You've won £1,480, out of a possible £6,000.

0:34:220:34:28

Ten more seconds coming off. We start with the strongest link - Brian!

0:34:280:34:32

Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:34:320:34:35

Start the clock.

0:36:380:36:40

Time's up. Your bank was out of time. In that round, you won £140.

0:36:410:36:46

In Round Eight,

0:36:460:36:48

you can treble what you bank.

0:36:480:36:51

Potentially, there's £3,000 to be won.

0:36:510:36:53

Who is least likely to help you raise the bank balance now you have this opportunity?

0:36:530:36:59

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:36:590:37:02

At this crucial stage, Ronda is the strongest link.

0:37:040:37:08

She gave all correct answers.

0:37:080:37:10

Statistically, Rebecca is the weakest link for the second round in a row.

0:37:100:37:16

Can she survive the final vote?

0:37:160:37:18

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

0:37:200:37:25

Ronda, why Rebecca?

0:37:340:37:36

Rebecca was the person who got the most questions wrong in that round.

0:37:360:37:41

Brian, you must be astonished to still be here.

0:37:430:37:46

Yeah.

0:37:460:37:48

I suppose I am, yeah.

0:37:480:37:50

Why Rebecca?

0:37:500:37:52

Though she saved my skin earlier, I think she was the weakest link in that round.

0:37:520:37:58

So, you get rid of her. She was the weakest link.

0:37:580:38:01

She was, just. You weren't brilliant.

0:38:010:38:04

Rebecca, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:38:040:38:07

They were frightened of me. I'd been the strongest link earlier. They decided to get rid of me.

0:38:140:38:20

I gave Brian a chance, and he stabbed me in the back.

0:38:200:38:24

I think Ronda will win. I think, being a teacher,

0:38:240:38:27

she should have a better depth of knowledge than Brian.

0:38:270:38:31

Round Eight. £1,620 in the kitty.

0:38:400:38:46

£3,000 is at stake. We start with the strongest link from the last round.

0:38:460:38:51

In cookery, which conserve is traditionally made from...

0:40:220:40:26

Time's up.

0:40:270:40:29

I can't complete the question. You banked £100,

0:40:290:40:32

which I'll treble and add to previous rounds.

0:40:320:40:35

That means prize money of £1,920.

0:40:350:40:40

Only one of you can take the money. So now you'll play head to head.

0:40:400:40:44

I'll ask questions. Whoever answers the most questions correctly wins.

0:40:440:40:50

It's as simple as that.

0:40:500:40:51

Brian and Ronda, for £1,920,

0:40:510:40:55

let's play The Weakest Link.

0:40:550:40:58

As the last strongest link you choose who goes first.

0:41:010:41:04

I'd like to go first, please, Anne.

Ronda, you leave with nothing.

0:43:230:43:25

Join us again for The Weakest Link. Goodbye.

0:43:270:43:30

It's incredible to win the Weakest Link.

0:43:310:43:35

I lived by the skin of my teeth a few times.

0:43:350:43:37

I'm pleased with today. I didn't expect to get that far at all.

0:43:370:43:42

I had my speech ready to be voted out as the first person.

0:43:420:43:46

I'm glad I got so far.

0:43:460:43:48

Football isn't my strong point. I'll have to watch it more.

0:43:480:43:52

It's great to say, "I am the strongest link."
