Of these nine contestants

0:00:020:00:04

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

0:00:040:00:08

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

0:00:080:00:15

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.

0:00:350:00:38

They don't know each other.

0:00:380:00:40

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

0:00:400:00:45

But eight will leave with nothing, as round by round we lose the player voted the weakest link.

0:00:450:00:51

Let's meet the team.

0:00:510:00:53

I'm John, I'm 30, I live in Colchester and I'm an army officer.

0:00:550:00:58

I'm Kevin, I'm 41, I'm from Ireland and I'm a training consultant.

0:01:410:01:46

In each round the aim is to answer enough questions

0:01:470:01:51

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

0:01:510:01:56

is to create a chain of nine correct answers.

0:01:560:02:00

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

0:02:000:02:04

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

0:02:040:02:09

However, you start a new chain from scratch.

0:02:090:02:12

At the end of the round only money that's been banked can be taken forward.

0:02:120:02:19

Round One. Three minutes. Start with the person whose name is first alphabetically.

0:05:370:05:41

Which is not very impressive. Whose party deserves to be over?

0:05:410:05:46

One of you will leave with nothing. Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:05:460:05:51

According to statistics, John is the strongest link. Maddie is the weakest link.

0:05:530:05:59

But who will be the first to take the walk of shame?

0:05:590:06:03

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

0:06:030:06:07

Lynn.

0:06:280:06:30

Yes. What do you do?

0:06:300:06:32

I'm a cabin crew manager. Do you go and fly?

0:06:320:06:35

I'm operational as well as sitting in the office.

0:06:350:06:38

Oh, and what's your job in the air?

0:06:380:06:41

I supervise and support the cabin crew as they deliver the product.

0:06:410:06:46

You hang on to their arms, do you? So they don't fly out the windows.

0:06:460:06:51

Spend your time in first class? I hide up there cos the food's very good.

0:06:510:06:57

Do you like the passengers in first class? Oh, yes.

0:06:570:07:01

Why? They're businessmen. They have time to chat to us once they've done all their work.

0:07:010:07:07

You don't care about zoo class.

0:07:070:07:09

Crumple class? We do look after them. When you fly, do you go zoo class?

0:07:090:07:15

Oh, no. Why Claire?

0:07:150:07:17

Claire got most questions wrong. I also think she got the easiest of the questions wrong.

0:07:170:07:24

Postman Phil, how many deliveries do you do a day? 260.

0:07:240:07:29

What do you like delivering best? Parcels. Why?

0:07:290:07:34

I have to get people out of bed early.

0:07:340:07:36

Do you want a prize for that?

0:07:360:07:38

It would be nice. Why Claire?

0:07:380:07:41

Several in that round had a poor round.

0:07:410:07:44

Claire, next to me, that's the one I voted for.

0:07:440:07:48

Alan, you're a musician in the army?

0:07:480:07:51

Yes, I am. What rank are you?

0:07:510:07:53

My rank is musician.

0:07:530:07:56

What's that the equivalent of?

0:07:560:07:58

In the regular army that's the equivalent of private.

0:07:580:08:02

So, you haven't progressed very far. No, I haven't, Anne. No.

0:08:020:08:07

What do you play? The saxophone.

0:08:070:08:09

If you get better at the saxophone, will you get promotion?

0:08:090:08:13

That might work. Maybe I'll practise more.

0:08:130:08:16

Why Claire? A few of us had a not too good round.

0:08:160:08:20

Claire stuck out for me as having the worst.

0:08:200:08:23

Statistically, the worst player was Maddie.

0:08:240:08:27

Maybe Claire's youth was against her. With three votes you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:08:270:08:33

I feel embarrassed to be off first. My friends are going to rip me to shreds.

0:08:390:08:45

I want Phil to go. He gave a terrible reason for me to go: "She's next to me."

0:08:450:08:50

It was a spineless reason. He should have gone for the person he thought was the weakest link.

0:08:500:08:57

Round Two, team. So far you have in the kitty...

0:08:590:09:02

You're down to eight players.

0:09:020:09:04

Erm... Not having their money ready at the time.

0:13:090:13:12

Why Joanne?

0:13:120:13:14

Because she got a very easy question wrong.

0:13:140:13:17

Joanne. Yes.

0:13:170:13:19

0:14:040:14:07

Not in the officer's mess, no, but they have an equally good time in their own mess.

0:14:070:14:13

Why can't they do that in your mess?

0:14:130:14:16

Because they have their own mess and that's our home and we live there.

0:14:160:14:20

Why can't they share your mess?

0:14:200:14:23

They have their own homes and we're not allowed to go there.

0:14:230:14:27

Why not? To keep the ranks separate.

0:14:270:14:30

Why? It helps maintain discipline.

0:14:300:14:33

0:14:410:14:45

I'll stick with Joanne. Why?

0:14:450:14:47

She got more questions wrong. Not suitable for your mess in other words.

0:14:470:14:53

One fiery red-headed female is enough for the show.

0:14:530:14:57

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:14:570:14:59

I'm frustrated to be voted off. I could have done better.

0:15:050:15:09

If I could vote, I'd vote John off.

0:15:090:15:13

He comes across as being arrogant.

0:15:140:15:17

He knows his stuff but he could be a bit nicer about it.

0:15:170:15:21

Round Three and so far you've won...

0:15:210:15:24

Down to seven players. We take another ten seconds off

0:15:260:15:29

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

0:18:180:18:21

You only banked £50.

0:18:210:18:24

Who's letting you down? Who knows too little to stay? Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:18:240:18:30

Statistically John is the strongest link.

0:18:320:18:36

The player to get his answers wrong, Alan is the weakest link.

0:18:360:18:40

Can he survive the vote?

0:18:400:18:42

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

0:18:430:18:48

John...

0:19:070:19:08

Are you getting off Alan because he's a private? No.

0:19:080:19:12

I want to break into the gang of four.

0:19:120:19:15

I'm feeling lonely over here.

0:19:150:19:17

Peter, why have you got a girl's hairdo?

0:19:170:19:20

Cos I'm an old hippy.

0:19:200:19:22

An ageing hippy, in fact.

0:19:220:19:25

What do you do?

0:19:250:19:26

I work in a visitors' centre. Doing what?

0:19:260:19:29

Anything that's required, basically.

What do they come to see?

0:19:380:19:40

An exhibition about Loch Ness and its legend.

0:19:400:19:44

Have you seen the monster? No, I haven't.

0:19:440:19:47

Do you believe in the monster? I do.

0:19:470:19:50

There wouldn't be a centre unless you kept the myth up.

0:19:500:19:53

That's very true, Anne. Why Alan?

0:19:530:19:57

I thought Alan was the weakest link. No music to bounce you out with.

0:19:570:20:01

With three votes you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:20:010:20:05

The reason I did so badly in the third round was I relaxed too much.

0:20:120:20:18

I was starting to enjoy it

0:20:180:20:20

and I let my guard down and also I didn't know the answers.

0:20:200:20:24

I think Maddie should be stood here.

0:20:240:20:27

Overall she hasn't been as good and as strong and as confident.

0:20:270:20:31

Round Four.

0:20:310:20:32

You banked...

0:20:330:20:35

out of a potential £3,000.

0:20:350:20:37

Down to six players. Ten seconds off the time.

0:20:370:20:41

You have two and a half minutes. We start with the strongest link. Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:23:200:23:22

0:23:230:23:27

I suggest you choose the loser and lose the loser.

0:23:270:23:31

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:23:310:23:34

The statistics show that Peter is the strongest, as he got every question right.

0:23:360:23:41

In a reversal of fortune, John is now the weakest link,

0:23:410:23:45

but will his previous performance save him?

0:23:450:23:48

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

0:23:490:23:54

Kevin,

0:24:100:24:12

what do you do? I train people hired to work in teams.

0:24:120:24:17

You haven't had much success with this lot. It's not working today.

0:24:170:24:22

What's important about working in a team?

0:24:220:24:25

Well, you have to have a very good, strong team leader.

0:24:250:24:29

Start teaching me.

0:24:290:24:31

Well, I would first of all, train you to be a proper team leader.

0:24:330:24:38

You have to be strong.

0:24:380:24:40

You've got to have trust within the team

0:24:400:24:43

and you've got to respect other people's levels of ability.

0:24:430:24:47

Can you be rude? Not as a team leader, no.

0:24:470:24:50

Why not? People don't respect you if you're rude.

0:24:500:24:53

Oh, yes, they do. No, they don't.

0:24:530:24:56

Don't you argue with me. Why Maddie?

0:24:560:25:00

I think Maddie's had a few bad rounds,

0:25:000:25:03

and I think it's time for her to go. Postman Phil.

0:25:030:25:06

Why Maddie? We didn't have a good round then, and I thought

0:25:060:25:11

Maddie was the weakest in that round. Statistically,

0:25:110:25:15

the worst player was Captain John.

0:25:150:25:17

But, Maddie, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:25:170:25:21

I'm sad to be off, because I wasn't the weakest link,

0:25:270:25:31

and I was getting better as I was going along, so I was really cross.

0:25:310:25:36

John was the weakest link in the last round

0:25:360:25:39

and I think he should be here now.

0:25:390:25:41

Round Five. And your total so far is a tragic...

0:25:420:25:46

You're down to five players.

0:25:460:25:48

Another ten seconds off the time.

0:25:480:25:51

We'll start with the strongest link, that's Peter.

0:25:510:25:54

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

The 19th-C competition for colonial gains was known as the scramble for where?

0:28:130:28:18

Time's up.

0:28:190:28:21

The correct answer is Africa. And you only banked £300.

0:28:210:28:27

Whose dream of winning really ought to now come to a very abrupt end?

0:28:270:28:32

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:28:320:28:35

Peter remains the strongest link.

0:28:360:28:39

The statistics reveal that Lynn is the weakest link,

0:28:390:28:42

but whose game is over?

0:28:420:28:44

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

0:28:450:28:50

BB King. Deep Purple. Wishbone Ash. Cream.

Nothing after that?

0:29:200:29:22

Oh, some things after that.

0:29:220:29:24

Not heard of Brandy? No. Why Lynn?

0:29:240:29:28

Er, I think

0:29:280:29:31

Lynn was the weakest link, and I think even I would have got the one about Rachel,

0:29:310:29:36

the character in Friends.

0:29:360:29:38

Oh, old hippies watch Friends, do they?

0:29:380:29:41

No, but my daughter tells me a lot about it.

0:29:410:29:45

Team teacher Kevin,

0:29:450:29:46

are you popular?

0:29:460:29:48

Reasonably popular within this team.

0:29:480:29:53

What about at work? Are you popular? Oh, yes.

0:29:530:29:57

How do you know?

0:29:570:29:58

When they evaluate my courses, they tell me what they think of me.

0:29:580:30:02

And what sort of criticism is there of you?

0:30:020:30:06

Er, about going on too long. Overrunning.

0:30:060:30:09

You're a bit of a windbag, are you?

0:30:090:30:11

Some might say. Why Lynn?

0:30:110:30:14

I really do think Lynn answered a lot of questions wrong in that round.

0:30:140:30:20

Well, statistically,

0:30:200:30:22

she was the worst player.

0:30:220:30:24

And with three votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:30:240:30:28

The younger cabin crew are going to pull me apart on the Rachel question.

0:30:350:30:40

The older cabin crew are going to pull me apart

0:30:400:30:43

because of the capital of the South American country, Paraguay.

0:30:430:30:48

I'm ashamed of myself.

0:30:480:30:49

And I've got O Level geography, so back to the atlas.

0:30:490:30:53

Round Six. And you've got...

0:30:530:30:55

..banked so far.

0:30:550:30:58

You're down to four players.

0:30:580:31:00

Another ten seconds off the time.

0:31:000:31:03

We start with the strongest link. Peter.

Which old hippie is too dippy?

0:33:330:33:36

Who's failed to deliver?

0:33:360:33:37

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:33:370:33:39

For the first time in the game, Phil is the strongest link.

0:33:410:33:45

Kevin is the weakest link, as he gave the most incorrect answers,

0:33:450:33:49

but will the other players realise that?

0:33:490:33:52

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

0:33:530:33:58

We have a tie, team.

0:34:110:34:13

Kevin and Phil, two votes each.

0:34:130:34:16

Phil, why Kevin? I think Kevin only answered one question correctly.

0:34:160:34:22

Kevin, why Phil?

0:34:220:34:24

I think overall, given the rounds previously, I think he is probably

0:34:240:34:29

a weaker competitor than I. But Phil didn't answer

0:34:290:34:33

a question incorrectly in the last round.

0:34:330:34:36

Did he not? Do you think we believe you when you're sounding surprised?

0:34:360:34:41

Please believe me.

0:34:410:34:43

Well, the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote.

0:34:430:34:47

The strongest link was Phil. Who do you want to get rid of?

0:34:470:34:51

Kevin.

0:34:510:34:52

I'm not being rude, I'm stating facts. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:34:520:34:57

I've come a long way to be here

0:35:030:35:05

and to get voted off at this stage and go back with nothing,

0:35:050:35:09

it's crazy.

0:35:090:35:11

I think Peter will be off next and he'll have a long face,

0:35:110:35:14

because he doesn't have the breadth of knowledge, because of his age.

0:35:140:35:19

Round Seven. So far you have...

0:35:210:35:24

You're down to three players.

0:35:240:35:27

We'll start with the strongest link, that's Phil.

0:35:270:35:30

Let's play The Weakest Link.

In that round you won £110. In Round Eight,

I thought John was the weakest link.

0:38:250:38:28

Phil, why John? I think he was the weakest link that round.

0:38:280:38:32

But you were the second weakest. That's not the weakest.

0:38:320:38:36

You're not arguing with me, are you? Yes, Anne.

0:38:360:38:39

So, Captain John, it'll be quick march, left, right, hold your shoulders up straight...

0:38:390:38:45

0:38:570:39:01

I'd have done the same. Peter will win. He's been crafty.

0:39:010:39:05

He's a bit more confident now. I think he'll be able to beat Phil.

0:39:050:39:10

Round Eight. And you've won...

0:39:110:39:14

..out of a possible £7,000.
