Today's nine players

0:00:010:00:04

are here for the show where one

0:00:040:00:06

will take home the prize of up to £10,000.

0:00:060:00:09

The rest leave with nothing

0:00:090:00:11

as their team-mates vote them

0:00:110:00:13

the weakest link.

0:00:130:00:15

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:290:00:31

Any of the nine people in the studio here today

0:00:330:00:37

could win up to £10,000.

0:00:370:00:39

They don't know each other, but to win, they'll have to work as a team.

0:00:390:00:44

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 Louise. I'm 33. I'm a graphic designer from southeast London.

0:00:560:01:01

I'm Bob. I'm 55. I'm a local government officer from Cumbria.

0:01:010:01:07

I'm Paul. I'm 28. I'm from Newport in Gwent and I'm a fork-lift driver.

0:01:070:01:12

I'm Helen. I'm 28. I work for a recruitment consultancy and I'm from County Durham.

0:01:120:01:19

I'm Khalid. I'm 18, and I'm an A-level student from Birmingham.

0:01:190:01:23

I'm Jeanette. I'm 55. I'm a secretary from Pool O' Muckhart in Clackmannanshire.

0:01:230:01:29

I'm Granville. I'm 49. A bin hygienist from Heanor in Derbyshire.

0:01:290:01:34

I'm Jill. I'm 66 and a retired college lecturer from Minehead in Somerset.

0:01:350:01:42

I'm Rene. I'm 34. I'm an exhibition manager from Warwickshire.

0:01:430:01:47

Now the rules.

0:01:470:01:49

In each round, the aim is to get enough questions right to reach £1000

0:01:490:01:54

within the time limit.

0:01:540:01:57

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

0:01:570:02:01

Get your question wrong,

0:02:010:02:03

and you lose all the money in that chain.

0:02:030:02:07

But if you bank it, the money is safe,

0:02:070:02:09

however, you start a new chain from scratch. At the end of the round,

0:02:090:02:14

ONLY banked money can be taken forward.

0:02:140:02:18

In Round One,

0:02:180:02:20

Time is up, and in that first round

0:05:300:05:33

you answered five questions incorrectly, and you won £500 out of a possible £1000.

0:05:330:05:39

The question is,

0:05:390:05:41

who is least likely

0:05:410:05:44

to bear any increasing pressure

0:05:440:05:47

and less time?

0:05:470:05:49

Who would you be better off without?

0:05:490:05:52

Who is already looking decidedly slow, perhaps even stupid?

0:05:520:05:58

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:05:590:06:02

Answering all his questions correctly and gaining £350 for the team,

0:06:040:06:09

Paul is the strongest link in this first round.

0:06:090:06:12

The weakest link is Rene, who answered most of his questions incorrectly.

0:06:120:06:18

But so early on, will the rest of the team have noticed?

0:06:180:06:22

The voting over, it's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

0:06:240:06:29

Paul, how was it for you, that round?

0:06:470:06:50

-OK. Could do better.

-Confident?

-Hopefully.

0:06:510:06:54

-Why Rene?

-Erm, I think he had a bit of a...

0:06:540:06:58

Was unlucky with the questions.

0:06:580:07:00

Oh, right. So you were a bit lucky with the questions, were you?

0:07:000:07:04

A little.

0:07:040:07:07

Granville, why Rene?

0:07:070:07:09

He got two wrong and banked instead of passed.

0:07:090:07:12

Right.

0:07:120:07:14

Rene.

0:07:140:07:16

-Yes.

-How do you think you did?

0:07:160:07:18

Horrendously badly.

0:07:180:07:20

Yes.

0:07:200:07:22

We particularly liked the answer to what K in Turkish is the word for roast meat.

0:07:220:07:28

I know.

0:07:280:07:30

-You thought "bank".

-And I lived in the Middle East.

-Did you?

0:07:300:07:34

Statistically, you're the worst player and with five votes you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:07:340:07:41

I'm most annoyed about the question on Turkish meat starting with K.

0:07:480:07:53

It's obviously a kebab. I lived in the Middle East for ten years. I've had more kebabs

0:07:530:07:59

than fish and chips and got it wrong.

0:07:590:08:02

I think Khalid will go next. There's too many questions

0:08:020:08:06

that he won't have the answer to, purely because of age difference.

0:08:060:08:11

Round Two.

0:08:130:08:16

You've won £500 so far out of a possible £1000. Eight players left.

Helen. ..I'll accept that.

0:08:360:08:39

What French word do audiences shout at the end of a show if they wish to hear more?

0:08:390:08:44

Encore.

-On the worldwide web, what...

0:11:200:11:22

Time is up.

0:11:240:11:26

In that round, you managed to put

0:11:260:11:28

into your kitty £490

0:11:280:11:31

of the £1000 you could have raised in that round.

0:11:310:11:36

But who is looking dazed and confused?

0:11:360:11:40

Or bemused and bewildered?

0:11:400:11:42

Who needs to go? One of you must leave.

0:11:420:11:44

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

The strongest link statistically is Jill.

The worst player is Khalid,

The voting over, it's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

Jill.

He answered two questions incorrectly.

0:12:290:12:33

He didn't, actually.

0:12:330:12:35

He answered three incorrectly. Bob.

0:12:350:12:38

Why Khalid?

0:12:380:12:39

I think it was the moment when he thought that mango was a language.

0:12:390:12:44

Jeanette. Why Khalid?

0:12:460:12:48

-I thought he hesitated.

-Right.

0:12:480:12:51

Hesitated, Khalid. Thought mango is what they spoke in China.

0:12:510:12:56

-You couldn't do better.

-I couldn't be worse.

0:12:560:12:59

Can you walk off correctly?

0:12:590:13:01

Get that right. With seven votes unanimously, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:13:010:13:08

I feel quite gutted and embarrassed

0:13:150:13:19

about being voted off so early.

0:13:190:13:21

I'd wanted to progress further on.

0:13:210:13:23

Next to go will be Helen.

0:13:230:13:25

She's hesitating and the team are definitely

0:13:250:13:29

going to pick that up. She'll be going.

0:13:290:13:32

Round Three.

0:13:340:13:36

You could've won £2000 by now.

0:13:360:13:38

In fact, you have £990. You're down to seven players.

0:13:380:13:42

We take ten seconds off the clock.

0:13:420:13:44

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

Plant.

Was cricketer Don Bradman

0:16:270:16:29

Australian or South African?

Australian.

0:16:310:16:33

Time is up, and after all that work,

0:16:370:16:40

you banked a miserable and embarrassing £200.

0:16:400:16:45

Who is not firing on all cylinders?

0:16:460:16:49

Let me remind you, there is no room for losers.

0:16:490:16:52

The slow thinking are a liability.

0:16:520:16:55

If they can't keep the pace, they go.

0:16:550:16:57

Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:16:570:17:00

Granville is the strongest link, having answered all of his questions correctly,

0:17:020:17:08

and banking £100 for the team.

0:17:080:17:11

The weakest link statistically is Jeanette. But who will lose out?

0:17:110:17:15

The voting over, it's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

0:17:180:17:23

Louise, not much of a round for you, that one, was it?

0:17:370:17:40

-No.

-Why Paul?

0:17:400:17:43

He hesitated and got the questions wrong.

0:17:430:17:46

Jeanette, why Paul?

0:17:460:17:48

I think he could have banked some money and didn't.

0:17:480:17:51

You think he's the weakest link?

0:17:510:17:54

Probably, it was me, but I thought it was him.

0:17:540:17:57

-Jeanette, it WAS you.

-It was me. Right.

0:17:570:18:00

-But it's votes that count. Paul, ballet not your strong subject?

-No.

0:18:000:18:06

Statistically, you weren't the worst,

0:18:060:18:09

but you got three votes and so are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:18:090:18:13

I am very upset that I was voted off in that round.

0:18:200:18:24

I feel it was a tactical error on behalf of the team.

0:18:240:18:27

And cos I was the strongest link in one round,

0:18:270:18:31

they should've voted for someone else.

0:18:310:18:33

It's very nerve-racking to play. If I was in a war,

0:18:330:18:37

I'd be glad Anne Robinson wasn't there.

0:18:370:18:40

Round Four.

0:18:420:18:45

There's £1190 in the bank, out of potential prize money of £3000. Six of you left.

0:18:450:18:51

We'll take ten more seconds

0:18:510:18:53

off the clock. You have only two and a half minutes.

0:18:530:18:57

We'll start with the strongest link,

0:18:570:18:59

that's Granville.

0:18:590:19:01

Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:19:010:19:03

-Bank.

-What S is the acid contained in acid rain?

0:21:290:21:33

-Pass.

-Sulphuric.

0:21:330:21:35

Time is up, and hardly a magnificent round.

0:21:400:21:43

You banked...

0:21:430:21:45

a paltry £220.

0:21:450:21:49

Who's dragging down the rest of you?

0:21:490:21:52

Who is too dense to stay?

0:21:520:21:54

Time to vote off

0:21:550:21:57

the weakest link.

0:21:570:22:00

Answering all her questions correctly, and banking £100,

0:22:000:22:04

Helen is the strongest link.

0:22:040:22:06

Louise is the worst player although she did bank money.

0:22:060:22:10

But will this save her from the vote?

0:22:100:22:13

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

0:22:170:22:20

Granville, why Jeanette?

0:22:350:22:37

She got two or three questions wrong.

0:22:370:22:41

-Right. You got two wrong.

-Yeah, I had a bad start.

0:22:410:22:45

Helen, why Jeanette?

0:22:450:22:48

I just thought she got a couple of questions wrong.

0:22:480:22:51

-Louise, why Jeanette?

-Partly because of previous history.

0:22:510:22:56

In earlier rounds she was weaker so I decided it was time for her to go.

0:22:560:23:02

Jeanette...

0:23:020:23:05

your hobbies are knitting,

0:23:050:23:07

-not history or pop culture...

-No, that's not my...

0:23:070:23:11

Perhaps a home crafts quiz.

0:23:110:23:14

-Maybe.

-You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:23:140:23:17

I think I was living on borrowed time because I was

0:23:230:23:27

the weakest link in the previous round. This time I wasn't but was voted off.

0:23:270:23:33

I think Louise will be voted off next time.

0:23:330:23:36

She got away with it in that round but the other contestants are stronger.

0:23:360:23:41

Round Five.

0:23:440:23:46

Your total so far is £1410 but if you'd hit your targets,

0:23:460:23:51

it would be £4000.

0:23:510:23:53

Five left. Ten seconds off the time.

0:23:530:23:56

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

What was the nationality of the traveller Marco Polo?

Channel Islands.

0:26:200:26:23

How many operas based on plays by Shakespeare did Verdi...

0:26:230:26:28

Time is up. I cannot complete the question.

0:26:280:26:31

And having got rid of four apparently weaker links

0:26:310:26:37

you've managed to bank a pathetic £160 so another

0:26:370:26:44

£1000 target magnificently missed.

0:26:440:26:48

Who's past their best? Who needs

0:26:480:26:50

to be dispatched without delay?

0:26:500:26:52

One of you must leave. Let's vote off the weakest link.

0:26:520:26:56

Bob was the only one to answer all his questions correctly

0:26:590:27:03

so he is the strongest link.

0:27:030:27:05

Helen has gone from strongest in the last round to weakest link.

0:27:050:27:10

But will her previous success save her from the vote?

0:27:100:27:14

Voting over, it's time to reveal the weakest link.

0:27:160:27:20

Bob, why Helen?

0:27:360:27:39

She got off to a bad start

0:27:390:27:41

and didn't regain her confidence.

0:27:410:27:43

Jill, how's it going for you?

0:27:430:27:46

-So-so!

-You just got the one question right.

0:27:460:27:50

You can't win them all, Anne.

0:27:500:27:53

-I know. You're not winning very many actually.

-I know.

0:27:530:27:58

-Why Helen?

-I just thought she was

0:27:580:28:01

losing her confidence

0:28:010:28:03

and she got a couple wrong, even though she was strong before.

0:28:030:28:07

-Helen, you went from high-scoring to hopeless!

-Definitely.

0:28:070:28:12

Statistically,

0:28:120:28:14

you were the worst player. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:28:140:28:19

I'm gutted because I had one bad round

0:28:260:28:29

and everyone seemed to turn against me.

0:28:290:28:33

They were ganging up on me a bit because there were two groups

0:28:330:28:38

of two on either side and I was left in the middle.

0:28:380:28:41

I think Louise will be voted off next.

0:28:410:28:44

Jill and Granville will vote for people on the other side.

0:28:440:28:49

Round Six. You've won £1570 out of a possible £5000.

0:28:510:28:56

There are four of you left.

0:28:560:28:58

We are cutting another ten seconds. We start with Bob,

0:28:580:29:02

the strongest link in the last round. Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:29:020:29:07

Start the clock.

-Bank.

-What former actress is now MP for Hampstead and Highgate?

0:31:120:31:14

-Bob.

-Bank.

-Who was Andrew Lloyd Webber's partner on Jesus Christ Superstar?

0:31:140:31:19

Time is up.

0:31:220:31:24

The answer was Tim Rice. And in that round

0:31:240:31:27

you did slightly better. You put into your kitty £260. The clock

0:31:270:31:33

is ticking away. There is less and less reason to hang on to anyone

0:31:330:31:38

who is coasting or dreaming.

0:31:380:31:41

Be ruthless to be rich!

0:31:410:31:43

Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:31:440:31:47

The only one to answer all his questions correctly was Bob,

0:31:490:31:54

so he is the strongest link.

0:31:540:31:56

Jill answered most of her questions incorrectly so she is the weakest link

0:31:560:32:01

but will her team-mates vote her off?

0:32:010:32:04

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

0:32:060:32:10

Louise...why Jill?

0:32:220:32:25

Because in that round she was probably as weak as I was

0:32:250:32:31

and I can't vote for myself, so...

0:32:310:32:34

-Bob, why Jill?

-Why Jill?

0:32:350:32:37

It was a difficult decision but Jill just edged it.

0:32:370:32:42

Jill, the team have decided you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:32:420:32:47

I feel very disappointed that I was voted off.

0:32:540:32:58

But I think it was quite close between myself and Louise.

0:32:580:33:03

I think Bob will be the winner

0:33:030:33:05

because his breadth of knowledge is very wide.

0:33:050:33:09

He comes across as a confident, very sound player.

0:33:090:33:13

Round Seven and of the £6000 you could have won by now

0:33:150:33:20

you have put into your kitty £1830.

0:33:200:33:24

So we're hardly wondering how you are so brilliant(!)

In which African country can tourists...

0:35:350:35:38

Time is up.

0:35:400:35:42

I cannot continue. In that round

0:35:420:35:45

you banked only £140.

0:35:450:35:47

In Round Eight you get the chance

0:35:480:35:51

to treble your money, which means there's £3000

0:35:510:35:54

to be won. The question is

0:35:540:35:57

who's tripped up once too often?

0:35:570:35:59

Who would be better off tripping out?

0:36:010:36:04

Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:36:040:36:06

Once again Bob is the strongest link with five correct answers.

0:36:090:36:14

The weakest is Louise, who gave four incorrect answers in that round.

0:36:140:36:20

But who will lose out in this final vote?

0:36:200:36:22

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

0:36:240:36:30

Bob, why Granville?

0:36:400:36:42

I thought he just about had the weakest round.

0:36:420:36:46

He didn't, did he, Louise?

0:36:460:36:49

No.

0:36:490:36:52

-Who did, Louise?

-Well, it won't be Bob, so it has to be me.

0:36:520:36:56

Is that why you're so pleased to vote off Granville?

0:36:560:37:00

-Yes.

-Ruthless, are you?

-Absolutely.

-Right!

0:37:000:37:05

Granville, what do you think?

0:37:070:37:09

-I only got one wrong.

-But there's nothing fair about this game.

0:37:090:37:13

You weren't the worst player but it's votes that count.

0:37:130:37:18

So you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:37:180:37:20

I think Bob voted tactically in the last round. He said on the show

0:37:270:37:32

that it was close between myself and Louise. Louise got more questions wrong.

0:37:320:37:37

He didn't want to face me in the final.

0:37:370:37:40

Bob will win. He's been the strongest all the way.

0:37:400:37:44

Louise has been lucky where a couple of players were just slightly worse.

0:37:440:37:50

Round Eight. By now you could have won

0:37:520:37:55

£7000. In fact, you have banked just £1970.

0:37:550:38:01

Just the two of you left.

0:38:010:38:04

You have only 90 seconds but whatever you win

0:38:040:38:08

will be trebled and added to your total to make up

0:38:080:38:11

your final prize money. £3,000

0:38:110:38:14

is at stake in this round. We'll start with Bob, the strongest link.

0:38:140:38:19

Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:38:190:38:21

Start the clock.

-Bones.

0:39:510:39:53

Time is up. You certainly didn't make it to £1000.

0:39:560:39:59

You didn't even make it to £100.

0:39:590:40:02

You banked only £80 but we'll treble that

0:40:020:40:05

and add it to the winnings from the previous rounds.

0:40:050:40:09

That means prize money today of £2210.

0:40:090:40:13

But only one of you can take that money away.

0:40:130:40:16

Now you will play against each other.

0:40:160:40:19

I'll ask alternate questions. Best of five. Whoever

0:40:190:40:23

answers the most wins. If there's a tie,

0:40:230:40:26

we'll go for sudden death until we have a winner.

0:40:260:40:30

So, Louise and Bob, for £2210, let's play The Weakest Link.

0:40:300:40:37

Bob was the strongest link in the last round. Who goes first?

0:40:380:40:42

Ladies first.

0:40:420:40:45

The answer is the electron.

0:41:190:41:21

Louise,

0:41:210:41:23

how many colours can be found

0:41:230:41:26

on the Bulgarian national flag?

0:41:260:41:29

-Four.

-The correct answer is three.

0:41:290:41:34

Bob, which HG Wells novel,

0:41:340:41:38

published in 1898, describes the arrival of Martians in Woking?

0:41:380:41:46

-War Of The Worlds.

-That is correct.

0:41:480:41:50

Louise,

0:41:510:41:53

In water polo,

0:41:530:41:55

0:41:550:42:00

at any given time?

0:42:000:42:02

-Five.

-The correct answer is seven.

0:42:090:42:12

Bob, in nature,

0:42:120:42:14

what part of the flower is known as the corolla?

0:42:140:42:19

-The petals.

-That is the correct answer.

0:42:200:42:23

Louise, you need to answer this question correctly

0:42:250:42:29

to remain in the game.

0:42:290:42:31

The Hoare-Leval Pact in 1935 was designed to recognise

0:42:440:42:46

That is correct. Abyssinia - I'll accept Ethiopia.

0:42:460:42:50

Bob,

0:42:500:42:52

if you answer this question correctly, you have won.

0:42:520:42:59

So for £2210,

0:42:590:43:02

which Scottish architect and designer's fame

0:43:020:43:05

rest primarily on his designs for The Glasgow School Of Art

0:43:050:43:11

between 1897 and 1909?

0:43:110:43:15

-Rennie Mackintosh.

-That is the correct answer.

0:43:180:43:21

That means Bob,

0:43:260:43:28

you are today's strongest link and you go away with £2210.

0:43:280:43:34

Louise, you get nothing.

0:43:340:43:36

Join us again for The Weakest Link. Goodbye.

0:43:360:43:39

Bob voted Granville off, which surprised me.

0:43:400:43:44

But when I thought about it, it made sense.

0:43:440:43:47

Because I was the weakest,

0:43:470:43:49

so it was best that I stayed.

0:43:490:43:52

I'm delighted to win. It couldn't have gone better.

0:43:520:43:57

I didn't have a single vote against me.

0:43:570:44:00

I'm very, very pleased

0:44:000:44:02

and I'm going to make the most of it.
