11/09/2012 Weakest Link

Here are today's contestants

preparing for the show. Only one of them

will go home with up to £10,000.

The others will leave with nothing,

as team-mates vote them the weakest link.

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

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

They don't know each other.

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

But eight of them will leave with nothing,

as round by round we lose the player voted the weakest Link.

Let's meet the team.

I'm Kay. I'm 42. I live in Edinburgh and I work in human resources.

I'm Teresa. I'm 65. I'm retired from a telecoms company from Cheadle Hulme.

I'm Colin. I'm 38. I'm an army sergeant from Preston.

I'm Jenny. I'm 52. I'm a part-time teacher from Leamington Spa in Warwickshire.

I'm Jim. I'm 41 years old. I'm a baptist minister from Lisburn in Northern Ireland.

I'm Caroline. I'm 34. I live in Sutton, Surrey. I'm an employment advisor for people with disabilities.

I'm Tim. I'm 27. I'm a retail manager from Gloucester.

I'm Charlotte. I'm 28 and a student from Bournemouth.

I'm Clive. I'm 62. I'm a management consultant from South Woodford.

In each round the aim is to answer enough questions right

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

The fastest way is a chain of nine correct answers.

Get your question wrong, you break the chain

and lose the money in the chain.

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

However, you start a new chain from scratch. Remember,

at the end of the round only money

that has been banked can go forward.

Three minutes on the clock.

We start with whoever is first alphabetically. It's Caroline.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Remember,...

you'll have ten seconds less.

You must streamline your team.

Who is worrying you?

Who doesn't look as if they're up to the standard

of the rest of the team?

Better be sure. Time to vote off the weakest link.

After a very successful round, Jenny is the strongest link.

Statistically the weakest link is Tim.

But how will the players decide who should be the first to go?

-Colin, what do you do?

-Army sergeant.

Would you have Clive in a regiment?

I would, yes.

So, why are you voting him off?

I felt he was the weakest link in this round.

Of course, he wasn't.

Was he, Tim?

-No.

-So much for the observation of the others. Clive, statistically,

Tim was ahead of you.

But the team decided you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I do feel very disappointed

that I've come here and have had to leave so early.

I might have done well, if I'd have lasted longer.

I think it might be Jim next.

He lacks confidence. He had to answer one question

for us to be able to bank £1,000.

Round Two. £1000 in the bank. Eight of you left.

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

getting one wrong.

She might have got two, but I'm not sure.

-Anybody else who got two?

-I did, Anne.

-Charlotte? What's wrong with Caroline?

-She's nice.

But just really unlucky.

Tim! That was a better round, wasn't it?

-A bit better, yeah.

-Right. And Caroline. Why do you want her off?

I didn't have many opportunities to bank that round so she must have got some wrong.

Yeah. Not much of a round for you, Caroline.

-Dreadful.

-You've got a degree in drama, theatre and television.

-Yes. We didn't study the A Team.

-What DID you study? Shakespeare.

-Greek tragedy.

-Well, what a tragedy. Six votes.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm disappointed to go. I thought I'd last longer but I'm kicking myself.

I knew everybody else's, but not my own. I think Teresa

got the same amount as me wrong, but I think I stood out for most people.

So it's just the luck of the draw.

Round three. You've won:

You're down to seven. Another ten off the clock.

We start with the strongest - Tim. Let's play The Weakest Link.

Time to vote off the weakest link.

Kay is the strongest. She answered everything correctly and banked the most money.

In another reversal of fortune, Tim has gone from strongest to weakest link.

But will he survive the vote again?

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

Teresa, why Tim?

Well, I can remember Tim got either one or two wrong.

-Right. No, you got one wrong. He got two.

-Right.

-In that round anyway. Jim, you got

a religious question.

Just lucky, I guess.

-Why Tim?

-I felt Tim got two wrong.

-So I thought he was the weakest that round.

-Well, Tim...

There's no end to your talents, is there?

Strongest link, weakest link.

Are you having a game all on your own?

I like to work at extremities, Anne.

Do you? Well, you're certainly going to work at another one now.

All the way to the end of the podium.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think the team voted me off then

because I was a bit up and down across the rounds. I was the strongest link

in the second and the weakest in the first and third.

I think Teresa will be next.

I think the rest of the team haven't got the confidence in her. However,

I think maybe Charlotte might find it lonely on one side of the stage.

Round four. £1760 banked so far

out of a potential prize of £3000. Six left.

Another ten off the time. You now have only 2½ minutes.

We'll start with the strongest link. That's Kay.

The weakest is Teresa, who only got one answer correct.

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

Well, not much doubt about that. Kay. How's it going?

-Fine, thanks.

-What do you do?

-I work in human resources.

-What, you fire people?

-I try not to.

-You're firing Teresa, though.

-Yes, I'm afraid so.

-Why?

-I remember her getting a couple of questions wrong.

Sergeant Colin, whose hobby is cooking,

knows nothing about mushrooms. Why Teresa?

She got two questions wrong, and didn't bank.

-You're a sergeant, are you?

-Yes, I am.

-In the army?

Right. So do you have to be observant?

-I do, yes.

-It's worrying for whoever you're in charge of.

-Teresa got

-three

-questions wrong.

-OK.

-You're very submissive for a sergeant.

-Bet you don't say that to squaddies, do you?

-I don't, no.

-"OK," you say, if they get it wrong?

-No.

Charlotte.

Why Teresa?

-Just cos she got the most questions wrong.

-OK.

Teresa.

Pepperoni tomatoes? Do they come from Norwich?

Well, as far as I know, they could do.

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

At least I didn't go out No.1. That's what I didn't want.

I feel I've done a personal best!

I think Kay will win. She's got broad knowledge,

I can't remember her answering wrong, and she's great at banking.

Round Five. Your total so far is £1920.

If you'd hit your target, it would be £4000.

With five left, ten more seconds come off.

We'll start with the strongest, Kay.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Start the clock.

But will the voting follow the facts?

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

-Sgt Colin.

-Yes, Anne.

-Why Charlotte?

-I know she got at least one wrong.

-You still can't count.

-Right.

-Charlotte, how do you think you did?

Time to vote off the weakest link.

For the fourth time, Kay is the strongest link.

The weakest link is Jenny.

But who now faces The Walk of Shame?

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

We have a tie. Jenny and Colin, two votes each. Colin,

-that wasn't the finest round for your regiment to see?

-It wasn't. You're right.

-No.

Why Jenny?

Because she got the same number wrong as me.

You've learned to count, Colin.

-That'll be useful when you get back to the Army.

-It will.

-Jenny,

why Colin?

He was the only person, apart from myself,

-I thought got a couple of questions wrong.

-No. It's not my strongest subject, Anne.

Do you want to get rid of Jenny or Sergeant Colin?

-I'll stick with Jenny. I thought she faltered more than Colin.

-Right.

Jenny, statistically you were the worst player. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think I was voted off justifiably. It was between me and Colin.

But I knew when Kay had

the casting vote, she'd vote for me.

She's voted three times to try to get rid of me.

I think Colin will be voted off next. I think he's probably

the weaker of the three that are left.

Round Seven.

You have £2390 out of the £6000 you could have won. Three of you left.

10 seconds off the clock. We start with the strongest link, Kay.

The question is, do you throw out the human resources manager

who doesn't know mental arithmetic from Edinburgh?

The sergeant whose hobby is cooking? Or the minister?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Jim is the strongest link.

The weakest player is Colin.

But at this crucial stage of the game, who will lose out?

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

You can't add up.

You don't know any grammar.

What exactly do you need to be a human resources manager?

I need a good memory and it failed me badly in that last round.

So not only can you not add up and know no grammar, but you haven't got any memory!

-Why Colin?

-He got some questions wrong there.

Right. Same amount as you did, actually!

-Mm-hm.

-Jim,

is the good Lord guiding you to get rid of Colin?

-No, I felt that...

-Oh, you're doing it all on your own?

I'd rather take responsibility than pass it to the good Lord.

-What's wrong with Colin?

-Absolutely nothing.

< But he got more wrong.

-So there is something wrong with him.

-If you like.

Sergeant Colin, it's back to your regiment.

You were the weakest link that round and in the whole game between the three.

If you haven't quite understood,

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was happy with my performance. I was a bit upset

that I got voted off at the end.

Kay will win, eventually. She's got a broad spectrum of

general knowledge and only got a few wrong in the game.

Round Eight.

£2660 in the kitty out of a possible £7000.

Kay the human resources manager

and Jim the minister. Two left and 90 seconds.

Whatever you win now will be trebled and added to your total

to make up your final prize money.

So, £3000 is at stake in this round.

We start with the strongest link, that's Jim.

Let's play The Weakest Link.
