11/10/2013 Weakest Link

Nine contestants are preparing for the show.

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

The rest will leave with nothing as one by one they're voted off as 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 money, they'll have to work as a team.

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

Let's meet the team.

I'm Chris, I'm 44, I'm from Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire

and I'm a businessman.

I'm Abi, I'm 22, from Lewes in East Sussex

and I'm an English and drama student.

I'm Doreen, I'm 44, I'm from Inverness

and I'm a homoeopath.

I'm Shawn, I'm 26. I'm Canadian, currently living in Scotland,

and I'm a professional ice hockey player.

I'm Barbara, I'm 53, I live in Salisbury

and I'm a life model and a volunteer advocate.

I'm John, I'm 45, I live in St Austell and I'm a priest.

I'm Mandy, I'm 38, I'm from Weston-super-Mare

and I'm a cook and a night care assistant.

I'm Zoe. I'm 27, I live in Leicestershire

and I run a music club for pre-school children.

I'm Clive, I'm 38, I'm from Kings Lynn,

I'm a fire fighter.

In each round you have to answer enough questions

to reach your £1,000 target within the limit.

The fastest way is to create a chain

of nine correct answers.

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

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

However, you start a new chain from scratch.

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

Round One. Three minutes. We'll start with the person whose name is first alphabetically.

That's you, Abi.

oh, dear. Out of a possible £1,000,

you banked a pathetic £90.

Whose fault was that? One of you is about to leave with nothing.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

The statistics show that Mandy is the first strongest link.

Chris is the weakest link. He got every answer wrong.

But how will the votes go, so early in the game?

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

Barbara, what do you do?

I'm a life model and a volunteer advocate. You take your clothes off? I do.

Aren't you embarrassed? No. What do you think your figure's like?

It's acceptable to the artists. Doesn't have to be perfect. Why Chris?

Because he lost us the most money.

Shawn? Yes, Anne?

What's wrong with Canada? Nothing. It's beautiful. So why are you here?

I want to see the world while I'm young. What do you do?

I play professional ice hockey. Who for? Fife Flyers.

Do they pay you? Yes. That's what professional means, Anne. How much do they pay?

Not as much as I'm worth. How much are you worth?

Can't it fly like other pigeons? It was trapped under a net.

Oh. Why didn't they shoot it? I'm a very humane person, Anne. Are you? Yes.

Why Chris? A businessman,

he took too many risks on that round. I'm glad I haven't got shares in his business. Chris,

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I didn't bank the £200, because I felt the questions were easy.

I got one wrong and thought I've got to get the next one right.

So I went for it and I suppose I'm an idiot.

I'd like to see John go off just because he's a vicar.

Round Two and you've won just £90, and down to eight players.

We take 10 seconds off your time. We'll start

with the strongest link from the last round. Mandy.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Start the clock.

On a UK motorway, what colour...

Time's up. A bit better, but not brilliant.

You banked £350.

But who is not the sharpest tool in the box?

Who probably couldn't even spell IQ?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Abi is the strongest link because she got the most right answers.

Statistically, Clive is the weakest link.

But will the votes reflect this?

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

Abi, you're a drama student?

That's right, Anne. Drama and English.

You're going to be an actress? No, Anne.

What are you going to be when you've finished drama school? Broadcasting, perhaps? Oh, really?

Do you have the qualities required? Well, you need a lot of charisma.

And I have been looking at you for some advice.

Very few people have my charisma. Why Zoe? I thought she hesitated.

And she got at least one question wrong. No charisma. No. Afraid not.

Are you charismatic, John?

Oh, extremely.

Define charismatic. Somebody who is very popular, with confidence and flowing with energy.

Can't you give me the theological definition?

That's near enough. If you think of all the people in the Bible

who were very charismatic. That's what they were. Fair-minded? Yes.

Do you agree with women priests? Well... Yes or no?

I don't think women can be priests, so the question is superfluous.

Why can't they? The Anglican Church is part of the one Holy Catholic Church.

If the Anglican Church decides to ordain women outside of the Catholic Church

then it's causing disunity. I believe in the unity of the Church.

You're screwed, then.

My church is still increasing in number

and we're a sizeable minority within the Anglican Church.

Oh, really! Where are you?

In Charlestown in Cornwall.

So when there's a Cornish bishop who's a woman, what will you do, ignore her?

We won't accept her orders, no. Oh...

You've made yourself very popular round here. Why Zoe?

Because Zoe got a couple of questions wrong.

How do you think you did in that round? I could have done better. Yes.

Was Zoe the weakest link statistically?

Er...I was the weakest link, probably, Anne.

You were away with the pigeons. I was. It's votes that count.

Clive was the worst player. But Zoe, with four votes you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was no way the weakest link in that round.

I'm REALLY mad they got rid of me. Maybe I was a threat to them.

I'd like to see Abi voted off next. She's a clever girl.

She's getting all the questions right and banking, but she has no personality.

She said I had no charisma. Oh, well...

Round Three. And you've only got £440 in the kitty. You're down to seven players.

Another ten seconds coming off the time.

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

Let's play The Weakest Link.

You banked £450.

But who is simply not cost-effective?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Abi is the strongest link for the second round in a row.

Statistics reveal John is the weakest link,

but what will the team consider when casting their votes?

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

Ever heard of Oxford or Cambridge University?

Yes. The boat race comes to mind.

Does it? Do their colours come to mind?

It's a blur of such a great and interesting race.

You think you are at a slight disadvantage being a Canadian?

That might be some people's perspective?

Why Mandy?

Mandy struggled a bit in some earlier rounds.

John, we know you don't like women priests. I don't ACCEPT women priests.

So who helps you in your church?

I have lots of helpers, Anne. It's a good team. We work together.

Who does the flowers? All my good ladies in the church. That isn't patronising, is it?

No, Anne. They're very artistic. Why Mandy? I thought Mandy

got a few wrong. Will you just vote women off?

No, Anne. Not at all. I er...

Nice...nice ladies here today.

Do you know who was the worst player? Despite my charisma and charm, it was me.

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

I'm annoyed about the Africa question. I didn't quite hear it,

I took a pot shot and it didn't pay off.

I think John's next. He's made a few chauvinistic remarks,

and he was the weakest link.

Round Four. £890 you've banked so far.

We're down to six players, another ten seconds off the time.

We'll start with the strongest link from the last round. Abi.

So you don't believe in conventional medicine?

It has its place. Oh...

Where's that? When people have tried everything else.

So if I had appendicitis, I'd see you first?

If I were you, I'd go to hospital.

That's the opposite to what you said. No.

Divine intervention failed him and he got everything wrong.

Like helping John say what's wrong with women priests?

I would hope that somebody could help him.

Well, John who takes no orders from women,

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'll tell them to watch it and have a good laugh.

Statistically, Barbara is the strongest link.

Clive is the weakest link but how will the votes go?

Doreen, why Shawn?

In that round he was at a disadvantage being Canadian and got some wrong.

He's an ice hockey player who couldn't give a puck?

Definitely not.

You're like the pigeon. How do you mean?

You need rescuing. Sometimes.

There's not many answers in your pointy head. They're bubbling up.

Was Shawn the weakest link? He was very close to it.

But who was the weakest link?

If he wasn't, it must have been me. That's right.

The pointy head was working well. For once!

Why are you getting rid of Shawn?

He was the closest to being the weakest link

but it's nice to keep the money here.

Shawn, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

It was a little tough to be voted off

but being Canadian hurt me with a few of the British questions.

It was definitely my downfall.

but the girls will move in and he'll be in trouble.

Statistically, Doreen is the weakest link

but will the votes reflect these facts?

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

Barbara, why Clive?

He had a bad round although the bald question was very appropriate.

Did you think he was the weakest link? In that particular round?

Probably. He wasn't was he, Doreen?

Possibly not.

Who was, Doreen?

Me? Exactly. Doreen was the worst player

but it won't save Clive. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Anne's comments about my pointy head will drag on for years and years.

At the fire station it will be brought up at every opportunity.

The way it is, unless they're tactical, Doreen will go next.

She's now starting to struggle.

Round Seven. Out of a possible £6,000 you've got...

You have three players, ten seconds off the time.

We start with the strongest, Barbara. Let's play The Weakest Link.

there's £3,000 to be won. The question is,

who will you hang on to? Who will you get rid of?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Barbara remains the strongest in this crucial round.

Statistically, Doreen is again the weakest.

Can she survive the final vote?

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

Barbara, why Abi?

She's been very good up till now but I noticed a lot of wrong answers.

Did you?

You're getting rid of your rival.

The tension's getting to me and I haven't been observing.

No, I think you've observed absolutely perfectly.

It's no good looking as if butter wouldn't melt.

Abi's only got five wrong throughout the game.

A lot of them were in the last round.

Doreen, why Abi?

None of us had a very good round but Abi got a couple wrong.

You certainly had a dreadful round. I did.

Abi's been much stronger than you. She has.

Doreen was the worst player as Barbara well knows.

But it's votes that count. Abi, they couldn't take it. They want you out.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm gutted to be voted off.

I knew they were going to do it.

They both thought I would win.

I've been stronger than both of them and I wish neither of them could have it.

Round Eight and you've banked...

Two of you left and you have 90 seconds

but what you win now is trebled to make up your prize money.

£3,000 is at stake.

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