13/11/2012 Weakest Link

Of the contestants preparing for the show,

only one will take home 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 have to work as a team.

But eight of them will leave with nothing

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

Let's meet the team.

My name is Barry. I'm 33.

I live in Macclesfield and I'm a sales manager.

My name is Simon. I'm 41.

I'm a carpenter and joiner from Leicester.

and I'm a retired head teacher of a primary school.

My name is Priscilla. I'm 49.

I live in Bath and I'm a full-time mum.

I'm David. I'm 52. I come from Cambridge and I'm a taxidermist.

The rules. The aim is to answer enough questions

to reach your £1,000 target

within the time limit.

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

Get one wrong and you break the chain and lose

all the money in that chain.

But, if you say bank before the question,

the money is safe.

However, you start a new chain.

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

Round One is three minutes.

We'll start with the person whose name is first alphabetically.

That's Annette. Let's play The Weakest Link.

-Well, actually, Margaret,

statistically, you didn't.

-No.

-Statistically, you were the worst player.

I'm still here though.

It's votes that count.

We're losing Stuart. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel mortified to have been voted off first.

I think to get past the first round is respectable,

but to go out first is rather embarrassing.

We'll start with the strongest link.

That's David. Let's play The Weakest Link.

You've had some bad experiences with parcel companies, Anne?

We all have, Barry. Why Annette?

The idea is to vote off who you feel was the weakest link.

I believe Annette was the weakest link.

Statistically, she wasn't the worst.

Do you know who was the worst player?

By this, I presume you probably think me.

I don't probably think. I'm saying you were the worst.

But it's votes that count.

Annette, former headteacher, better at asking than answering questions.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think Margaret should be here. She was worse than I was.

I think she's there because the men

prefer to see her there in her kilt than to see me there.

I'd like to see Simon voted off.

He's been full of himself

and voted me off as a teacher, not as a weakest link.

He must have had bad experiences at school

and having met him, I know why.

Round Three.

You've won £420 so far, out of a possible £2,000.

Right. When the vote's tied,

the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote. Barry!

-You voted for Priscilla. Why was that?

-I think the nerves set in a little.

-Well...

You can change your mind. Get rid of Priscilla or Margaret?

-I'll stick with Priscilla.

Fran, why did you vote for Simon?

He didn't bank.

-I don't think he's banked at all. And got a couple wrong.

-Well...

You can change your mind. Is it Simon?

My husband's got a copper bracelet so I'm sticking with Simon.

Simon, we don't want you. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel... quite let down by the guys there.

Erm... I'll admit I wasn't the biggest banker around.

Goodbye.

I think Margaret should be standing here instead of me.

She's been just hanging on for a long time.

Erm, I think if I had a short skirt and a larger bust,

the places may have been changed.

Round six. You've won £1,000 out of a possible £5,000.

At this stage, I only want people who are with me.

Let's not make any mistake.

Barry...

was the worst player...

And Fran...

the best player, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was voted off because they ganged up.

I think they were younger and decided to get rid of the old dear.

I could say it in a rude way, how I feel

about not getting through to the end, having been voted off,

but I think I'll just say that I am very peeved.
