Here are the nine contestants preparing for today's show.

0:00:020:00:07

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

0:00:070:00:10

The others will leave with nothing when voted off as the weakest link.

0:00:100:00:15

Welcome to the Weakest Link.

0:00:280:00:31

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've only just met, but to get the prize money,

0:00:380:00:42

they'll have to work together.

0:00:420:00:44

However, eight will leave with nothing

0:00:440:00:47

as round by round, we lose the player voted the weakest link.

0:00:470:00:52

Let's meet the team.

0:01:510:01:53

there's £1,000 to be won.

0:01:530:01:54

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

0:01:540:01:58

Break the chain and you lose all the money in that chain.

0:01:580:02:02

Say "bank" before the question is asked and the money is safe.

0:02:020:02:07

0:03:470:03:50

Who do you think could shatter records and who do you think could shatter dreams?

0:03:500:03:55

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:03:560:03:58

In an impressive first round,

0:04:000:04:02

Abi is the strongest link as she banked all the money for the team.

0:04:020:04:05

0:04:050:04:09

but who will the team want off?

-What sort of ceremonies?

0:04:490:04:53

Dinners, weddings mostly, this time of year.

0:04:530:04:56

-And have you always wanted to be in show business?

-Yes.

-Do you do anything else?

-I'm a town crier.

0:04:560:05:02

Yes. That's boring, anything else?

0:05:020:05:04

-I do a small act with a lady in the village.

-No, it's got to be clean!

0:05:040:05:10

It is clean. We entertain old folks and people with some musical stuff.

0:05:100:05:14

Do you play an instrument?

0:05:140:05:16

I do, I play in a brass band.

0:05:160:05:17

And what's the act you do?

0:05:170:05:19

-Have you ever heard of Albert And The Lion?

-Put your board down.

0:05:190:05:23

IN A LANCASHIRE ACCENT: "There's a famous seaside place called Blackpool that's noted for fresh air and fun.

0:05:230:05:29

"And Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom went there with young Albert, their son..."

0:05:290:05:33

Are you any better in the brass band?

0:05:330:05:35

No, Anne, I didn't say I was good at anything, I just said I do a lot.

0:05:350:05:38

Put your board up.

0:05:380:05:40

-Why Sue?

-I think she was marginally slower than everybody else.

0:05:400:05:44

Where are you from, Abi?

0:05:440:05:45

I'm from Burgess Hill, Anne.

0:05:450:05:47

-What do you do?

-I'm a client development manager.

0:05:470:05:50

What sort of people use you?

0:05:500:05:52

Care homes, in the main.

0:05:520:05:54

So, old people.

0:05:540:05:56

-Some older people use our product.

-What are your products?

0:05:560:06:00

Food, Anne.

0:06:000:06:01

-A variety of food?

-Absolutely. Anything from a traditional dish

0:06:010:06:05

to a new sweet-and-sour curry, something like that.

0:06:050:06:09

-It's sort of slop, is it? Liquefied, in different colours?

-Far from it.

0:06:090:06:13

So how do you know if the old people are enjoying it?

0:06:130:06:17

I ask them, Anne.

0:06:170:06:19

Which is their favourite slop?

0:06:190:06:20

I think it's fair to say each one of the residents is individual

0:06:200:06:24

and they like different things. I'm sure there's plenty watching today.

0:06:240:06:28

Is there anything glamorous about your life?

0:06:280:06:30

-Er... Not really, Anne, no.

-No, I don't think there could be.

0:06:300:06:34

Is that your telephone voice you're using?

0:06:340:06:36

No, Anne!

0:06:370:06:38

Why Sue?

0:06:380:06:39

I'm sorry, Sue, you were fractionally slower. It was a tough call.

0:06:390:06:42

Rob, what do you do?

0:06:430:06:45

-I'm a procurement consultant, Anne.

-Fabulous.

0:06:450:06:49

Oh. How many of those have you got?

0:06:570:07:00

Four at the moment but hopefully some more on the way.

0:07:000:07:03

-Are they from Germany?

-One is.

0:07:030:07:05

Does it speak English?

0:07:050:07:07

It doesn't speak any language. It understands German, though.

0:07:070:07:10

Oh, so do you have to speak to it in German?

0:07:100:07:13

-Yes.

-What's it called?

-Dana.

-Dana.

0:07:130:07:17

And if you spot Dana digging a hole, do you think she's trying to escape?

0:07:170:07:21

-She often does dig holes.

-It's her breeding, isn't it?

-I never thought about her escaping, but possibly.

0:07:220:07:28

-Why Sue?

-She paused very slightly.

0:07:280:07:31

Sue, you are the weakest link. Goodbye!

0:07:310:07:35

My family and friends will have a laugh

0:07:420:07:46

that I've actually been voted off first

0:07:460:07:48

but I've had the guts to actually go on the show.

0:11:450:11:47

Iain.

0:11:480:11:49

Iain.

0:11:500:11:51

Iain.

0:11:530:11:54

Iain.

0:11:550:11:56

Iain.

0:11:570:11:59

-Rocket.

-Hello, Anne.

-Did your mother like salad?

0:12:020:12:06

Yes, we were brought up on salad, we were market gardeners, my family.

0:12:080:12:12

-So we had a lot of...

-Stop!

0:12:120:12:14

TITTERING

0:12:140:12:17

-You did ask me.

-What do you do?

-I work for a bookmaker, Anne.

0:12:170:12:20

What, in Hawaii?

0:12:200:12:22

-No, in Newquay, in Cornwall.

-OK, put your board down.

0:12:220:12:26

Just move next to Kim.

0:12:260:12:28

-Is that your uniform?

-No, this isn't my uniform

0:12:300:12:34

-but this is what I wear most of the time when I'm not working.

-Why?

0:12:340:12:38

Cos it's Newquay and it's a surf paradise.

0:12:380:12:41

-And do you surf?

-Yeah, I do.

0:12:410:12:44

-Are you fit?

-Fit as a fiddle, Anne.

0:12:440:12:46

-Your own teeth...

-I had a hip replacement a while back

0:12:460:12:49

but I am quite fit.

0:12:490:12:50

-Right. You live alone?

-No, no, I've got my partner, Sheena.

-Really?

0:12:500:12:54

Move back. And does your girlfriend go surfing?

0:12:540:12:59

-No, no, she just watches from the side.

-Does she? Put your board down.

0:12:590:13:03

-How's she shaped?

-Oh, well, she's big on the top

0:13:030:13:06

and she narrows down, comes out a little bit there

0:13:060:13:10

and then she's got two legs.

0:13:100:13:12

Yes. Put your board up.

0:13:120:13:15

-Why Iain?

-For a town crier, he didn't half stutter a bit over there.

0:13:160:13:22

If he was the town crier in Newquay, he'd be out the door!

0:13:220:13:26

He'd be working in Devon somewhere.

0:13:260:13:28

-Little Dan, what do you do?

-I'm a student, Anne.

-Are you? How old are you?

-Radio production.

0:13:330:13:36

-Great. In order to do what?

-Become a radio presenter.

0:13:360:13:40

-And who's your radio hero?

-I like Danny Baker.

0:13:400:13:44

-Put your board down.

-And Chris Evans as well.

0:13:440:13:46

So can you give me an example of your style on radio?

0:13:460:13:51

BRIGHTLY: You're listening to Tone radio with Dan!

0:13:510:13:53

Next up is hot rockin' Anne with her version of Right Said Fred's I'm Too Sexy!

0:13:530:13:58

I always do that because I like to point at the fader.

0:13:580:14:02

But, Dan, are you aware that when you point at the fader,

0:14:020:14:05

-no-one can see you...

-Yeah, that's why I do it.

0:14:050:14:08

Put your board up.

0:14:080:14:10

-Why Iain?

-Because he got the question about Natalie Portman wrong

0:14:100:14:15

and I didn't much like his Yorkshire accent.

0:14:150:14:18

Iain, you are the weakest link. Goodbye!

0:14:180:14:20

It was unfair I got voted off in Round Two.

0:14:280:14:30

They obviously realised that I'm the most intelligent person on the team.

0:14:300:14:34

I'll be speaking severely to Rocket about telling me I have a stutter

0:14:340:14:37

because as a town crier and a toastmaster, I do not stutter!

0:14:370:14:41

Round Three. In the bank, £1,550.

0:14:420:14:46
