Of the nine people preparing for today's show, only one will take home up to £10,000.

0:00:030:00:09

The others will leave with nothing, as their team-mates vote them the weakest link.

0:00:090:00:16

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:280:00:30

Any of the nine people in the studio here today could win up to £10,000.

0:00:330:00:38

They don't know each other, but if they want the money, they'll have to work as a team.

0:00:380:00:45

But eight of them will leave with nothing,

0:00:450:00:48

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

0:00:480:00:52

Let's meet the team.

0:00:520:00:54

I'm Carmen, I'm 20, currently unemployed, and I'm from Blyth in Northumberland.

0:00:550:01:01

My name is Dan. I'm 53, and a medical insurance consultant from London.

0:01:010:01:06

I'm Diane. I'm 25, and a cardiac technician from Acton in London.

0:01:080:01:12

I'm Eunan, I'm 40 and a director of mental health. I'm originally from Strabane in County Tyrone.

0:01:130:01:20

I'm Arun, I'm 28, and an innovation consultant from Banbury in Oxfordshire.

0:01:200:01:26

I'm Sue, aged 54. I'm a teacher from Nottingham.

0:01:260:01:30

0:01:360:01:40

I'm Liz, I'm 40 and a catering officer from Wakefield.

0:01:410:01:45

Now the rules. In each round, the aim is

0:01:470:01:50

to answer enough questions correctly to reach £1000

0:01:500:01:54

within the time limit.

0:01:540:01:56

The fastest way is to make a chain of nine right answers.

0:01:560:02:00

Get one wrong, and you break the chain and lose the money.

0:02:000:02:04

But, if you say, "Bank" before the question, the money is safe.

0:02:040:02:09

However, you start a new chain

0:02:090:02:11

from scratch.

0:02:110:02:13

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

0:02:130:02:19

In Round One, there are three minutes on the clock.

0:02:190:02:23

Bank.

0:05:000:05:01

OK.

0:05:020:05:04

Only one question wrong, and you have reached your £1000 target.

0:05:040:05:09

That money will go through,

0:05:090:05:11

but one of you will not.

0:05:110:05:14

You'll have ten seconds less,

0:05:140:05:16

and it's necessary to streamline your team.

0:05:160:05:20

Who is already looking a bit slow?

0:05:200:05:24

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:05:240:05:27

After a very successful first round, Liz is the strongest link.

0:05:280:05:33

Arun is the weakest link as he was the only player to get a question wrong.

0:05:330:05:38

But how will the voting go?

0:05:380:05:40

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

0:05:410:05:46

-Had enough of Arun, have you, Tony?

-Unfortunately, he got one wrong. He broke the chain.

0:06:070:06:14

Carmen. A few votes for you, then?

0:06:140:06:16

-Yes.

-Why was that? You didn't answer any questions incorrectly.

0:06:160:06:21

I don't know. I don't know why that is.

0:06:210:06:24

-Why Arun?

-I think he was the only one to get a question wrong...

0:06:240:06:28

-In that round.

-Diane.

0:06:280:06:30

-Had enough of Arun?

-He got one wrong and lost us money.

0:06:310:06:35

-He was the only one to get a question wrong, so, time to go.

-Arun.

0:06:350:06:40

Take us through Kenny Dalglish's racing career.

0:06:410:06:44

I'm not very familiar with the man.

0:06:440:06:47

You were the worst player.

0:06:480:06:50

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:06:500:06:53

I feel gutted, because, when I came on the show,

0:07:000:07:03

I did not want to be the first to go off.

0:07:030:07:06

I may get ragged about the Dalglish question,

0:07:070:07:10

but I have no shame, as I know nothing about football.

0:07:100:07:14

I think Carmen may go next,

0:07:140:07:16

because although everyone else got everything right,

0:07:160:07:20

two people besides me voted for her.

0:07:200:07:23

Round Two.

0:07:240:07:26

Ten seconds off the clock. We'll start with the strongest link.

0:10:480:10:51

Sue is the strongest link, as she got all her questions right.

0:10:520:10:56

The weakest link is Carmen.

0:10:560:10:59

But will the others have picked up on this?

0:10:590:11:02

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

Tony.

-Be careful if the Queen comes to stay.

0:11:410:11:45

-It's unlikely.

-She's actually commander of the armed forces, not the Prime Minister.

-Yes.

0:11:450:11:52

-Why Carmen?

-She had a bad first round, and in this one, she didn't get any right.

-Right.

0:11:520:11:58

0:11:580:12:03

0:12:030:12:08

-It's in France.

-I asked you, "What country?"

0:12:080:12:12

-I thought you said, "city."

-Oh, it's my fault?

0:12:120:12:15

You think country sounds like city, do you?

0:12:150:12:18

It does when you're standing here.

0:12:180:12:21

-Why Carmen?

-I think she got more questions than anybody else wrong.

0:12:210:12:26

-Could you hear her properly?

-Yes, I could.

0:12:260:12:29

How come you could hear her and not me?

0:12:290:12:32

She's not asking me the questions.

0:12:320:12:35

Carmen, with seven votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:12:350:12:39

I feel stupid. I feel really stupid.

0:12:450:12:48

Because I really did want

0:12:480:12:49

to have a good go of it. I'll get a lot of stick,

0:12:490:12:53

because Blyth is a very small town and everybody knows each other.

0:12:530:12:57

I would least like Chris to win.

0:12:570:13:00

He's arrogant, and I think he made most of the others feel uncomfortable.

0:13:000:13:05

Round Three and of the £2000 you could have won, you've put into the bank...

0:13:060:13:11

You're down to seven players.

But you've still got Eunan who claims to be

0:13:130:13:17

a Director of Mental Health.

0:16:130:16:18

But who is worrying you?

0:16:180:16:21

Who might not be up to the pressure?

0:16:210:16:24

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:16:240:16:27

Sue is the strongest player for a second time.

0:16:290:16:32

Statistically, Dan is the weakest link.

0:16:320:16:35

But will the voting follow the facts?

0:16:350:16:38

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

0:16:380:16:43

-Liz, what do you do?

-I'm a catering officer, Anne.

0:16:580:17:01

-Why Diane?

-I genuinely feel that in that round

0:17:010:17:07

Diane was the weakest link.

0:17:070:17:09

-Chris, why Diane?

-I felt she had a poor round there.

0:17:100:17:14

-She got a few wrong.

-So did you.

0:17:140:17:16

-I got one wrong but I think Diane was worse than me.

-She only got one wrong.

-Did she?

0:17:160:17:23

-Sue, why Diane?

-I thought Diane had two questions wrong.

0:17:230:17:28

You thought she was the weakest link, did you?

0:17:280:17:31

She wasn't, was she, Dan?

0:17:310:17:33

Who was the weakest link?

0:17:330:17:35

-On this occasion, I was.

-You were certainly the worst player.

0:17:350:17:39

But, Diane, the team think you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:17:390:17:44

I'm rather annoyed to be voted off since I wasn't the weakest link.

0:17:500:17:55

Dan was. Therefore, I hope Dan goes in the next round.

0:17:550:17:59

I think I would like Liz to win.

0:17:590:18:02

I think she's got the broadest knowledge base, and she hasn't got a question wrong so far.

0:18:020:18:08

Round Four. £1760 banked.

0:18:090:18:13

Six of you left.

0:18:130:18:15

We'll start with the strongest link. That's Sue.

0:18:190:18:23

Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:21:040:21:08

Who is throwing away everyone else's money?

0:21:080:21:12

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:21:120:21:14

Chris is the strongest link with four correct answers.

0:21:160:21:21

Tony is the weakest link with two incorrect answers.

0:21:210:21:25

But will the others have noticed this?

0:21:250:21:28

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

0:21:280:21:33

Chris,

0:21:460:21:48

-is Dan getting on your nerves?

-Not at all.

0:21:480:21:51

I just felt that he didn't have a very good round.

0:21:510:21:55

-I'm a teacher.

-Oh, are you? What do you teach?

-Right. How old are the people you teach?

-11 to 16.

0:22:030:22:07

-I don't.

0:22:070:22:11

-Is Dan getting on your nerves?

-No.

0:22:110:22:14

-Why did you vote for him?

-I think he was the weakest link in this round.

-Really?

0:22:140:22:20

-Mm.

-He didn't answer any questions incorrectly.

0:22:200:22:23

-Dan didn't?

-Mm.

0:22:230:22:25

-I'm surprised.

-Do powers of observation not come into teaching skills?

0:22:250:22:31

Yes, but they are secondary in this game.

0:22:310:22:34

Liz, why Dan?

0:22:340:22:36

I felt that Dan was banking too early and then hesitant on questions.

0:22:360:22:41

Was he the weakest link?

0:22:410:22:43

It was very difficult to work out that to a fine degree in that round.

0:22:430:22:49

-Who did you think was the weakest link, Tony?

-Possibly me.

0:22:490:22:53

Forget the possibly. So, Dan.

0:22:530:22:57

Statistically, you weren't the worst player.

0:22:570:23:00

But they've had enough of you, retrospectively perhaps.

0:23:000:23:05

-You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

-Thank you.

0:23:050:23:08

I think it was a genuine mistake on their behalf.

0:23:120:23:16

I was the weakest link in the preceding round and was lucky to escape.

0:23:160:23:21

I think Tony will go next, because his responses are slow

0:23:210:23:25

and his knowledge isn't as deep as the other contestants'.

0:23:250:23:30

Round Five. Your total is £2040. There are five of you left,

0:23:310:23:36

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

0:26:410:26:46

Eunan.

0:26:590:27:01

Science, history, culture, geography and you don't hear well.

0:27:010:27:06

What's Tony done that you haven't?

0:27:060:27:08

The facts speak for themselves. Nobody had a good round.

0:27:080:27:12

-Tony had more questions wrong than the rest.

-Why Tony, Sue?

0:27:120:27:17

I think he had the most questions wrong this round.

0:27:170:27:21

Not much of a round for you, Chris.

0:27:210:27:24

-Obviously not, Anne.

-Why Tony?

-I felt he had a disaster in that round.

0:27:240:27:29

-Where do you live?

-Sheffield.

-You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:27:290:27:35

The annoying thing about this game is you know the answers to other people's questions.

0:27:400:27:47

My friends will give me stick for not getting to the grand final.

0:27:470:27:51

Family, when they watch it, will appreciate that I got halfway.

0:27:510:27:56

If I had to make the choice, I'd go for Chris to be out next.

0:27:560:28:00

0:30:330:30:35

0:30:350:30:40

Liz is the strongest link. She got all of her questions right.

0:30:410:30:46

In a dramatic reversal of fortune, Sue is the weakest link.

0:30:460:30:50

Will her earlier performance be enough to save her?

Chris, why Eunan?

0:31:100:31:12

-He had a poor round there.

-Yes.

0:31:120:31:16

He wasn't, was he, Sue?

I think this was probably his worst round.

0:31:260:31:30

-Eunan, they've had enough of you.

-Obviously.

0:31:300:31:34

The team have decided you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:31:340:31:38

I should have won this game. I know how to play this game.

0:31:440:31:48

I don't think everybody did. I'm very disappointed.

0:31:480:31:52

I banked loads of money. They wouldn't have half the money they have now if it wasn't for me.

0:31:520:31:59

They know I'm very good at the game,

0:31:590:32:02

and felt it was time to be tactical, not honest.

0:32:020:32:05

Round Seven. You have £2190 out of the £6000 you could have won.

0:32:060:32:11

Three left. Ten seconds off the time.

We start with the strongest link, that's Liz.

0:32:140:32:18

Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:33:360:33:37

Congruent. Carl Andre's sculpture, Equivalent VIII,

0:33:370:33:42

controversialy acquired by The Tate in 1972 was constructed from what?

0:33:420:33:47

Rubbish.

0:33:470:33:48

Bricks. Dick Emery's catchphrase was, "You are awful but..." what?

0:33:480:33:53

I like you.

0:33:550:33:56

In which US State is the city of Boston?

0:33:570:33:59

0:33:590:34:01

-Bank.

0:34:010:34:04

-Stoat.

-Weasel.

0:34:040:34:05

Complete the title of the 1998 Will Smith film, Enemy Of The...

0:34:050:34:10

People.

0:34:100:34:11

State. Elgar conducted the first recording session in 1931 in which North London studios?

0:34:110:34:18

Um... Alexander.

0:34:190:34:21

-Abbey Road Studios.

-Bank!

0:34:210:34:23

Time is up.

0:34:250:34:27

£140 banked.

0:34:270:34:28

In Round Eight you get the chance to treble what you bank.

0:34:280:34:32

That means in the next round, there's £3000 to be won.

0:34:320:34:36

But one of you needs to go.

0:34:360:34:39

Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:34:390:34:42

Liz is the strongest link for a second time.

0:34:430:34:46

The weakest link is Chris, but, at this crucial stage,

0:34:460:34:50

how will the voting go?

0:34:500:34:52

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

0:34:530:34:57

Sue, on what grounds have you voted off Liz?

0:35:100:35:14

At this stage, we've got to play tactics.

0:35:150:35:18

Explain that to me.

0:35:180:35:20

I feel that she is the strongest,

0:35:200:35:22

and so for a chance in the final, I've voted her off.

0:35:240:35:27

Are those the tactics you teach the children at school?

0:35:280:35:32

If necessary.

0:35:320:35:34

You don't teach them fairness?

0:35:340:35:37

Up to a point.

0:35:370:35:39

What school do you teach at?

0:35:390:35:41

I'd rather not say.

0:35:410:35:44

Chris, explain why you're voting Liz off.

0:35:440:35:47

She's got worse as the game's gone on,

0:35:480:35:50

and at this stage, she was the weakest link.

0:35:520:35:55

Let me share with you the statistics.

0:35:550:35:58

In the last round, she was the strongest link.

0:35:590:36:03

And overall, her total of correct answers has been 20,

0:36:030:36:07

and her wrong answers 7.

0:36:070:36:09

While you have only answered 15 questions correctly and answered 11 incorrectly.

0:36:110:36:17

And Sue, the teacher,

0:36:180:36:20

who won't tell us where she teaches, has only answered 18 correctly and got 8 wrong.

0:36:200:36:26

Liz,

0:36:260:36:29

there is no doubt you are the strongest link overall.

0:36:290:36:33

But with two votes, the teacher and the guest house owner

0:36:340:36:38

have voted you the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:36:380:36:41

I've been stitched up by the two that are left.

0:36:470:36:50

Both frightened of me, didn't want me in the final.

0:36:500:36:54

Basically, they're just chickens.

0:36:540:36:57

Of Chris and Sue, it's difficult to say who I'd least like to win.

0:36:590:37:04

They've both been horrible.

0:37:040:37:06

Round Eight.

0:37:070:37:08

You have, in the kitty, £2330.

0:37:080:37:11

Sue and Chris,

0:37:110:37:13

just the two of you left, and, this time, only 90 seconds.

0:37:130:37:19

Whatever you win now will be trebled and added to your total.

0:37:190:37:23

£3000 is at stake in this round.

0:37:230:37:26

You voted off the strongest link so we start with the next strongest, Sue.

0:37:260:37:31

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Time's up. The correct answer is insectivores.

0:39:050:39:09

You banked £60. We'll treble that and add it to your winnings.

0:39:090:39:13

That means prize money today of £2510.

0:39:130:39:17

Only one of you can take that away,

0:39:170:39:20

so now you will be playing against each other, head to head.

0:39:200:39:25

I'll ask alternate questions.

0:39:250:39:27

Whoever gets the most correct wins.

0:39:270:39:29

It's as simple as that.

0:39:290:39:32

If there's a tie, it's sudden death until we have a winner.

0:39:320:39:36

So, Sue and Chris,

0:39:360:39:38

for £2510, let's play The Weakest Link.

0:39:380:39:44

So, at the moment you're level pegging.

to stay in the game.

That means, Chris,

you are today's strongest link and you go away with

0:43:070:43:11

Sue, you leave with nothing.

0:43:140:43:17

Join us again for The Weakest Link. Goodbye.

0:43:170:43:21

I feel a bit of a fraud winning the money.

0:43:210:43:24

I didn't think that I should have got into the final.

0:43:240:43:28

But having won, it feels good.

0:43:280:43:31

I'm a little bit disappointed,

0:43:310:43:33

but I was surprised to be in the last two

0:43:330:43:36

because there were some really clever people.

0:43:360:43:39

I'll probably spend the money on a skiing holiday.

0:43:390:43:43

I'm thinking of going to France with friends.
