15/02/2013 Weakest Link

Of the nine contestants on today's show,

only one will take home prize money of up to £10,000.

The rest 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

could win up to £10,000.

They don't know each other.

If they want the prize money, they must work as a team.

But eight of them will leave with nothing,

as round by round, we lose the player voted the weakest link. Let's meet the team.

I'm Mark. I'm 40. I live in Trowbridge, Wiltshire

and I'm an upholsterer.

I'm Ali, 20 years old, from Pembrokeshire.

I'm a sales and marketing administrator.

My name's Adrian, I'm 34 from St Helens and a sales manager.

I'm William, 48, from the Midlands and a travel industry consultant.

I'm Angela, I'm 35, from Reading in Berkshire

and I'm a mother of two.

My name's Gerry. I'm 51, from Bristol

and I'm an aircraft marshaller.

My name is Rosemary. I'm 48 years of age,

I'm from Frinton-on-Sea, Essex and I'm a personal assistant.

My name is Colette, I'm 52.

I'm from London and I'm a designer.

I'm Rob, I'm 29 years of age, from Leeds.

I'm a customer services team manager.

Now the rules. In each round you have 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, you break the chain and lose the money.

But, if you bank before your question, the money is safe.

But you start a new chain from scratch.

Remember, team, at the end of the round, only money banked

is carried forward. Round One lasts three minutes.

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

That's you, Adrian. Let's play The Weakest Link.

If holidays go wrong, I go and find out why and get it put right.

-For who?

-Various companies. They give me contracts.

-Oh, dear,

it's not put right for customers, but for various companies.

-Why Gerry?

-I think he got all his questions wrong.

It just became obvious he was the weakest link

-on that round.

-Gerry, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel devastated about being voted off first.

I'm a competitive person. I've achieved a lot.

I never thought I would be the first to go.

Ali would be the next person to be voted off.

Except in brain power.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Round Three, team.

You've won £550 out of a possible £2,000.

You're down to seven, 10 seconds off your time.

Then what will you do?

Train for the Bar and be a barrister.

She got more questions wrong than anyone else.

Oh, she didn't. Statistically, would-be barrister, Angela,

the weakest link was the upholsterer

who puts horrible foam in sofas. But it's votes that count.

Rosemary, Frinton-on-Sea needs you. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I would like Colette to be voted off next.

She has got quite a few questions wrong, but she's a good bluffer.

Round Four.

one question right in that round.

-Correct.

-Why Mark?

Well, like you, Anne,

I went to a convent.

So I spent a lot of years learning about Joseph.

in the sofas. But, Mark,

What you put in sofas or what you can't remember from school. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm most embarrassed about not knowing Joseph.

Will the team notice that?

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

Angela, why Colette?

but she was the weakest link.

-Ali, you're still here.

-Yeah. Hi.

-Why Colette?

-She got the Titanic one wrong. I thought everybody had seen that.

-Did you? I haven't.

Colette, who designs clothes for little people, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm disappointed about being voted off at this time.

I can understand why the team did it. I got all my questions wrong.

One answer should have been Titanic, but I'd read that it was a very long, very boring film,

so I didn't bother watching it.

-Why Ali?

-I really feel she lost the plot.

WILLIAM: Most questions wrong. She's been good, but it's like somebody turned the oxygen off to the brain.

Ali, who used to play rugby, with three votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was the weakest link. I had an absolute shocker.

The questions were aimed at people older and younger than me.

I think William will go next. Angela and Adrian have been very strong throughout.

William, you have delighted us with your tales of the travel industry. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Very, very disappointing to be voted off. I really wanted to go for it.

On overall performance, Adrian will. He's been very consistent.

Round Eight.

Of the £7,000 you could have won, you've put in the kitty £1,920.

Two of you left.

Adrian and Angela. You have 90 seconds.
