Here are today's nine players,

0:00:010:00:03

about to play for £10,000.

0:00:030:00:06

Only one will win the prize money.

0:00:060:00:09

The rest will leave with nothing

0:00:090:00:11

after their team-mates vote them

0:00:110:00:14

the weakest link.

0:00:140:00:15

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:290:00:31

Any of the nine people in the studio here today

0:00:330:00:36

could win up to £10,000.

0:00:360:00:38

They don't know each other.

0:00:380:00:40

However, to win the prize, they'll have to work as a team.

0:00:400:00:44

But eight of them 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.

0:00:520:00:54

I'm Debbie, 25, a self-employed teacher from Leyland, Lancashire.

0:00:560:01:01

My name's Nigel. I'm a 44-year-old civil servant from Dorset.

0:01:010:01:06

I'm Sarah, 31. I'm the mother of two small children, from Aberdeen.

0:01:060:01:11

I'm Arnie. I'm 67, and a retired hotelier from Penrith, Cumbria.

0:01:110:01:17

I'm Steve. I'm 34, and I'm a police officer from Merseyside.

0:01:170:01:22

I'm Wendy, a 41-year-old customer service officer from Addlestone.

0:01:220:01:28

I'm Matthew. I'm 28, and a mortgage advisor from Crook, Co. Durham.

0:01:280:01:33

I'm Fran. I'm 51. I'm a registered nurse, and live in Cambridgeshire.

0:01:330:01:38

My name is Danny. I'm a 22-year-old student from Stepney Green, London.

0:01:390:01:45

Now, the rules. In each round the aim is

0:01:450:01:47

to answer enough questions to reach £1000 in the time limit.

0:01:470:01:52

The fastest way is with a chain of nine correct answers.

0:01:520:01:56

If you're wrong, you break the chain and lose the money.

0:01:560:02:00

If you say "bank" before the question is asked,

0:02:000:02:03

the money is safe.

0:02:030:02:06

However, you start a new chain.

0:02:060:02:08

At the end of the round,

0:02:080:02:10

only money that has been banked can be taken forward.

0:02:100:02:14

Now there are three minutes on the clock.

0:02:140:02:17

We start with the person who's first alphabetically.

You banked £820 in the first round,

0:05:360:05:38

out of the £1000 you could have put in your kitty.

0:05:380:05:42

Who already is worrying you?

0:05:430:05:45

One of you is about to leave with nothing.

0:05:450:05:48

Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:05:480:05:51

Wendy is the strongest link, according to the statistics.

0:05:520:05:56

With three answers incorrect, Arnie is the weakest link.

0:05:560:06:01

But at this early stage of the game,

0:06:010:06:03

will the other players pick up on this?

0:06:030:06:06

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

0:06:060:06:11

0:06:330:06:37

I've got a wife who can't cook, so I don't know.

0:06:410:06:45

Why Arnie?

0:06:450:06:47

Because he got two wrong. I got one wrong. He voted for me, as well!

Um, it's a sad star, cos he looks sad.

0:07:070:07:10

It's a sad star.

0:07:100:07:12

That's another thing you can't do, then, draw.

0:07:120:07:16

Mm. Yes.

0:07:160:07:18

-Where are you from?

-Penrith.

-How did you get here?

0:07:180:07:21

-Train.

-That was a wasted fare.

-It was.

-You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:07:210:07:27

When I saw my name coming up time and time again,

0:07:340:07:38

I wasn't surprised, but I was disappointed.

0:07:380:07:41

I voted for Matthew. He got at least one wrong. I think he may be next.

0:07:410:07:46

There's nothing hard about it, but I did find it stressful.

0:07:460:07:50

I'm not sorry to be out here!

0:07:500:07:52

You've banked £600.

0:10:580:11:00

Who needs go to?

0:11:000:11:02

One of you is about to leave with nothing.

0:11:020:11:04

Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:11:040:11:07

Sarah is the strongest link.

0:11:080:11:11

Statistics show Matthew is the weakest link.

0:11:110:11:14

He answered two questions wrongly and lost the most money.

0:11:140:11:19

But how will the voting go?

0:11:190:11:21

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

0:11:220:11:26

Sarah, how's it going for you?

0:11:460:11:49

Not too bad, I don't think.

0:11:490:11:51

You want to get rid of the other women?

0:11:510:11:53

No. The more women the better.

0:11:530:11:55

Why are you voting for Fran?

0:11:550:11:57

She got difficult questions,

0:11:570:12:00

and she didn't get them right.

0:12:000:12:02

How's it going for you, Steve?

0:12:020:12:04

Quite well, I think.

0:12:040:12:06

You wrote F and then lost the will, did you?

0:12:060:12:09

Not the case at all, no. I think Fran was unfortunate.

0:12:090:12:13

It's not nice to vote for anyone. I think she got a bit nervous.

0:12:130:12:17

You didn't want to vote for anybody?

0:12:170:12:20

-Well, it'd be nice -

-What are you doing here?

0:12:200:12:23

I want to win.

0:12:230:12:25

Matthew.

0:12:250:12:27

Does your wife know nothing about music and literature?

0:12:270:12:31

Quite a lot!

0:12:310:12:33

Last time you were wrong, you said it was because your wife didn't know.

0:12:330:12:38

No, it was cos she doesn't cook. I don't get fed well.

0:12:380:12:42

Why Fran?

0:12:420:12:44

I think she got the same amount wrong as me, so I had to vote for her.

0:12:440:12:49

What do you do, Fran?

0:12:490:12:51

-I'm a nurse.

-Do your memory and brain need medical assistance?

0:12:510:12:56

-Patchy brain cell degeneration, I think.

-Well, get it repaired.

0:12:560:13:00

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

0:13:000:13:04

I think I was voted off because I didn't get questions right,

0:13:100:13:15

and I was nervous. It's intimidating out there.

0:13:150:13:18

I'd like to have done better, but that's how it goes.

0:13:180:13:22

I think Wendy and Steve have great potential to win.

0:13:220:13:25

They're controlling their composure and keeping calm under the lights.

0:13:250:13:30

Round Three. You could have won £2000.

0:13:320:13:35

You've got in the kitty £1420, though. Seven of you left.

0:18:070:18:12

0:18:120:18:17

With the courgette question I picked on my wife.

0:18:270:18:32

That she went to the karate school of cookery and can kill with one chop.

0:18:320:18:37

It might take a few flowers to get back in her good books.

It's a relief to be able to sit down now.

0:24:060:24:09

I feel that Steve's ultra-confident.

Will it be enough to save her when it comes to the vote?

Mmm.

0:33:030:33:05

-But I think I've done well overall.

-We'll see.

0:33:050:33:08

The others will be the judge of that.

0:33:080:33:11

Sarah, as the strongest link,

0:33:110:33:13

you have to cast the deciding vote.

0:33:130:33:16

I've made my decision and I'll stick with it, I'm afraid.

0:33:170:33:22

Right. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:33:220:33:25

Sarah didn't make the right choice.

0:33:320:33:35

I'm very disappointed but that's not sour grapes.

0:33:350:33:38

Danny wasn't better than me.

0:33:380:33:41

and you banked £150. Now, in Round Eight

0:36:110:36:14

you get the chance to treble what you bank, so there's £3000 to be won.

0:36:140:36:19

But who are you going to dump? Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:36:190:36:24

For the third round in a row, Sarah is the strongest link.

0:36:260:36:30

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:37:200:37:22

I think Danny and Sarah voted me off because they were scared of me.

0:37:290:37:34

If it's just me against one of them, they'd lose. It's tactical voting.

0:37:340:37:39

We all came here to win some money.

0:39:520:39:58

That means prize money of £3080.

0:39:580:40:01

But only one of you can take that money away, so you play against each other

0:40:010:40:06

head-to-head.

0:40:060:40:08

I'll ask alternate questions - best of five. Whoever answers most correctly wins.

So, Sarah and Danny,

0:40:200:40:23

As each round went on and I wasn't voted off,

0:43:310:43:34

I got more confident about getting to the end.

0:43:340:43:38

It's more annoying to get this far and lose

0:43:380:43:41

than to be voted off first round.

0:43:410:43:43

You get right to the end and someone pips you at the post.

0:43:430:43:47

I feel great. It was a hard slog to get from beginning to end.
