14/10/2013 Weakest Link

Of the nine contestants here today,

only one will win prize money of up to ?10,000.

The rest of the team 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 today could win up to ?10,000.

They don't know each other. However, if they want that prize money,

they'll have to work as a team, but eight will leave with nothing,

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

Let's meet the team.

My name's Dave. I'm 43. I live in Bournemouth.

I'm a vehicle mechanic for the Ministry of Defence.

The aim is to answer enough questions correctly

to reach your ?1,000 target within the time limit.

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

Get your question wrong

and you break the chain and lose all the money in it. If you say the word "bank"

before the question is asked, the money is safe.

But you start a new chain.

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

Three minutes on the clock. We'll start with the person

whose name is first alphabetically. That's you, Al.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I would like to see John go next

as he comes across as a luvvie.

And he needs a humour injection.

Round Three. You have in the kitty ?1,140.

You are down to seven players.

Ten seconds off the time. We start with the strongest link

from the last round. That's Sally.

Why the silly voice? I've not got a silly voice.

I'm talking in my normal voice.

Really? Yes. Really.

Do you speak to your mother like that?

Well, when I go back to Hull,

one tends to be a chameleon and pick up accents.

Pretend your mother's here.

Tell me who you're voting for.

"I'm voting for Sally, Mum." Oh, that's much better.

Al, why Sally? I believe she got the most wrong.

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

To be voted off now feels awful, because I was doing so well,

and I never thought I'd be the strongest link.

I'd like to see John go off next, cos I think he's a bit...false.

I think that voice is put on.

Round Four, team.

You have in the kitty ?1,240

which is not very much,

considering by now you could have ?3,000.

she hesitated a little on one question.

It'd be a sad day if we had to rely on your memory.

Glenys, why John the actor who works as a waiter?

I think his acting debut is finished

and his Oscar performance over.

That's plain-speaking enough.

In a tie,

the strongest link decides.

How's it going for you, Diane?

Not fantastic, but not too bad so far.

What do you do? I'm an IT student at the moment.

A student?

So the question now is, are you a wee bit more fed up with Glenys

than John?

I'm a wee bit more fed up with John.

John, time to leave the stage. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

The question about the bee was a genuine misunderstanding. I didn't hear the word "insect".

Had I heard it, I'd have got it right.

I'd like to see Glenys voted off next, because she insulted me by saying

I was over as an actor.

Round Five, team, and out of a possible ?4,000 you have just ?1,360.

Down to five players,

Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

We have a tie, team, yet again.

Diane and Glenys have two votes each.

Jo, why Diane?

She got a couple wrong.

So you want her off. Absolutely.

She got every question wrong except for the last one.

Do you think she's prettier than you?

I hadn't really thought about it, to be honest.

I know Diane and Jo are - That's a no!

SARAH LAUGHS Well, when the vote's tied,

we ask the prettiest of them all - or the strongest link.

That's Al.

Why Diane?

Got a few questions wrong,

and she's a lot prettier than me too. Well, not difficult, Al.

You now have a choice between Glenys and Diane.

I'll stick with my original choice.

Your looks have not helped you, Diane. Glenys was the worst player

but, Diane, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm surprised I got off at this stage.

I don't feel I was the weakest link.

I banked a lot of money in that round.

I was also the strongest link in previous rounds.

But, hey, all's fair in The Weakest Link.

Voting over.

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

Sarah, you voted for Glenys three times.

I believe her to be the weakest link.

Jo, you must be astonished to find yourself still here.

A little bit, yeah.

Are you getting rid of the other women?

I'm choosing who I think is the weakest link.

I'm not playing tactically.

Why Glenys? She got some questions wrong.

Did anyone else do that?

I imagine that was probably me.

You answered two wrong.

Glenys managed three. Glenys, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

It was more luck that judgement that I lasted that long.

I'm very disappointed, but there you go.

I'd like to see Jo go off next time.

She also, like me, has lasted

longer than she should.

You've won...

Because he is far cleverer than me.

Al, you're too clever! You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I never got a question wrong in that round. I would have won.

I'm disappointed,

but I didn't deserve to be in the final two.

He'd been the strongest link in more rounds than me.

But, when it comes down to it, I did what I could do. I'm pleased.
