11/10/2012 Weakest Link

Today's nine contestants are all Welsh.

They want to take on Anne Robinson and win prize money of up to £10,000.

Only one can take it home as the rest are voted the weakest link.

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

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

They don't know each other, however...

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

Eight of them will leave with nothing.

As each round we lose the player voted the weakest link.

Let's meet the team.

I'm Alun. I'm 50. From Wick in the Vale of Glamorgan.

I'm a bookmaker.

I'm Sarah. I'm 26. I'm from Casnewydd.

Your aim is to answer enough questions

to reach your £1000 target

within the time limit.

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

Get the question wrong and you break the chain and lose the money.

Bank before the question and it is safe.

However, you start a new chain from scratch.

Remember, at the end of the round, only money that has been banked

can be taken forward.

In Round One you have three minutes.

We start with the person who is first in the alphabet.

That's you, Alun.

Why vote Sally off?

She dithered for what felt like a fortnight on a question.

Sally, with seven votes you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Bye, you lot. I hope none of you win.

I feel sick. I've come all this way to be voted off first.

But I'm not surprised. I don't think they're really Welsh.

They didn't bring a flag or a daffodil.

In fact, I think they're English in disguise.

Round Two. So far you've won £320 out of a possible £1000.

You've got rid of sunny Sally.

In Welsh spirit, she hopes no-one wins.

There are eight left.

We are losing 10 seconds.

We'll start with the strongest link from the last round - Steve. Let's play The Weakest Link.

Who's more Boy George than Lloyd George?

The statistics show Sarah is the weakest link.

But will the players take this into account?

Voting over.

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

Alun...

do you not sing opera?

-Fortunately not.

-What do you mean?

I wouldn't like to impose my voice on any opera fans.

How about imposing your knowledge on us?

-We haven't seen much evidence of that.

-Not yet.

-Sharon, what do you do?

-I'm a nursery nurse.

Where do you come from?

-Pontypridd.

-What's that famous for?

-Tom Jones, for one.

-Is that it?

-Oh, lots of other exciting people.

-Why have you voted for Deborah?

-I recall she got a question wrong.

The weakest link was Sarah.

The full-time mum with dodgy geography.

But it's votes that count.

Deborah, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I did the best I could on the day.

I would have liked to go on but at least someone Welsh will win.

I would think Sarah will be voted out next.

Her knowledge is patchy like mine.

Round Three.

You've won £470 out of £2000. There are seven of you left.

Will she be able to survive yet another vote?

Voting over.

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

Mandy...

you've voted for Sarah twice.

-That's right. Yeah.

-Had enough of her?

She's not letting me bank money and she gets questions wrong.

Andrew...

is English your second language?

Funnily enough, it is, actually.

-What's funny about that?

-You wouldn't expect it.

I think it's perfectly obvious.

-Why Sarah?

-She was the weakest last time and she got questions wrong again.

Darren, it wasn't a good round for you.

It wasn't. But I don't look like an extra from Space 1999.

What does that mean?

You're making fun of me. I thought I'd have a quip at you.

-Why?

-It just looks a bit odd.

Really(?) Not much Issey Miyake in the Rhondda?

None at all.

-Why Sarah?

-A couple of questions wrong.

She was the weakest link last round and I think she was again.

The question I'm most embarrassed about is the Stereophonics one.

The person I think may be voted off the next round is Darren.

His knowledge isn't up to the standard.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Andrew got all his questions right and banked money, making him the strongest link.

With the most wrong answers, Mandy is the weakest link.

But what will the team decide?

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

Andrew, why Mandy?

I didn't get much money to bank, so she must have got questions wrong.

-Steve, do you speak Welsh?

-Not much, actually, no.

-Why not?

-Because I never got taught it at school.

-Why not?

Because my school was bad.

Is it a loss, not speaking Welsh?

I'm sad to say it is dying out.

I hardly ever go to Welsh-speaking areas.

Why? Do you not like people who speak Welsh?

No, I admire people who speak Welsh.

You're keen to get rid of Mandy.

She doesn't inspire me with confidence, Anne.

The money's not getting in the bank and she's one reason why.

Mandy. Four votes. You are the weakest link, goodbye.

Thank you, Anne.

I'm very pleased with my performance.

That round, I just didn't know the answers.

They weren't something I knew.

I think Darren should be here now, because he got lots more questions wrong than me.

He's going to be here next. I'm sure.

Round Five, team, and, of the £4,000 you could have won,

you have yet to reach £1,000.

You've got £970 in the kitty.

The strongest link is Alun for the second time.

He was the only one to get all his answers right.

But will the team remember that?

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

Andrew, whose second language is English.

Do you go to English classes?

I finished them. I'm trying other languages.

Why Darren?

He did well till now, but he had most questions wrong,

so he's the weakest link.

Alun, why get rid of Darren?

The wheels came off for him the last round.

I had nothing to bank. I think he was the weakest link.

Darren from the Rhondda, who thinks Jimmy Carter had a cotton farm.

And who thinks Egypt is a city.

And who thinks women who dress like me wouldn't fit in in the Rhondda valley.

Let's see his outfit as he leaves. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I had a question on Egypt. I should have got it.

But Anne looks so like a mummy, it confused me.

Not with malice. They're more confident.

Round Six,

people from Wales, and you've finally achieved what most teams

achieve in the second round, which is four figures in the kitty.

Steve is the weakest link with the most wrong answers.

But will this be noticed by the others?

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

Andrew, do you not like people from Glamorgan?

No, but everyone gets voted off in their turn.

-It's Alun's turn now.

-Why did he upset you?

No money came for me to bank, so it must have been Alun.

Sharon, why Alun?

I thought he had a few wrong.

Did anyone else get one wrong then?

Yes. Myself.

Alun, the singing bookmaker. You have delighted us for long enough.

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

I think Anne is - contrary to popular Welsh belief - a pussycat.

Steve may be the next one to go, because, at his age,

his general knowledge will come into play.

Round Seven and, of the £6,000 you could have won,

you've managed only £1,230.

Sorry we couldn't make the questions easy for you.

Ten seconds off the clock. We start with the strongest link. Andrew.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

In a role reversal, Steve has become the strongest link,

while the weakest link is Andrew.

But at this pivotal point, how will the contestants vote?

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

Steve, any truth in the saying that Welshmen are chauvinists?

Not at all, Anne. I'm sure some of them are.

You get them in every country, don't you?

You've decided to go with Andrew

who has only a slim grasp of the English language,

rather than Sharon, who was not the weakest link.

I voted for her because she's had weak rounds

and she hasn't got many questions right.

Where do you come from, Andrew?

-Llanelli.

-And in Llanelli.

-Llanelli, sorry.

-Do they like women there?

Er...I think they do, yes.

-Why are you trying to get the woman off the team?

-I'm not.

-There's just three of us left and she's had the worst rounds compared to us.

-Well,

Andrew, you were the worst player, but votes count. Sharon,

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

The disappointment of not getting to the final will sink in on the way home.

I deserved to be in it.

Not the two boys. I think Andrew will win today.

He seems very motivated and determined to win

and his general knowledge is good.

Round Eight, team. You've won £1,340, so far, out of a possible £7,000.

Just the two of you left. This time, you have only 90 seconds.

Whatever you win will be trebled and added to your total to make your prize money.

£3,000 is at stake in this round. We'll start with the strongest link. Steve.
