The others will leave with nothing when voted off as the weakest link.

0:00:090:00:15

Welcome to the Weakest Link.

0:00:280:00:31

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

0:00:310:00:38

They've only just met, but to get the prize money, they'll have to work together.

0:00:380:00:43

However, eight will leave with nothing as round by round we lose the player voted the weakest link.

0:00:430:00:49

OK, just to remind you, in each round, there is £1,000 to be won.

0:01:480:01:53

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

0:01:530:01:58

Break the chain and you lose all the money.

0:01:580:02:01

Say "bank" before the question is asked and the money is safe.

That money will go through to the next round, but one of you will not.

0:03:430:03:48

0:03:480:03:51

but the sign perhaps says "vacant"?

0:04:370:04:39

-What do you do, Paul?

-I'm a primary school teacher, Anne.

-Are you? Where?

-In Ilkeston in Derbyshire.

0:04:410:04:47

-Really?

0:04:510:04:56

-What are you qualified as?

-A primary school teacher.

0:04:560:05:00

-Where did you take your degree?

-At the University of North Wales in Bangor.

0:05:000:05:05

Is that one down from Cambridge?

0:05:050:05:08

It was the only place that was offering the course with drama that I wanted to do.

0:05:080:05:13

-You like drama, do you?

-I do, yes.

0:05:130:05:16

-Yes. And how old are the children?

-The children that I currently teach are four and five.

0:05:160:05:22

Put your board down. So if you want silence in the class...?

0:05:220:05:26

I would just get some stickers and they'd all sit on the carpet.

0:05:260:05:30

-What do they need the stickers for?

-They're for positive reinforcement.

0:05:300:05:35

-Would you put them on their lips?

-No, stick them on to their jumpers.

0:05:350:05:40

-What's the normal term for positive reinforcement?

-Um...

0:05:400:05:44

I haven't got a clue.

0:05:440:05:46

Really? What does it mean?

0:05:460:05:49

-It means you're rewarding their good behaviour.

-Why don't you say that?

0:05:490:05:53

Because the term was positive reinforcement.

0:05:530:05:56

-Did they teach you that in North Wales?

-They did, yes.

0:05:560:06:00

Put your board up.

0:06:000:06:02

-Why Denise?

-I think she hesitated.

0:06:020:06:05

-What do you do, Fraser?

-I'm an assistant car park manager.

-So where's the car park?

-In Portsmouth.

0:06:070:06:14

-What's your particular job?

-I'm the assistant manager.

0:06:140:06:18

What does the assistant manager do?

0:06:180:06:20

Look after the staff and the car park, make sure everything is running smoothly.

0:06:200:06:26

What's your ambition? To be a car park manager?

0:06:260:06:29

-That would be a nice bit of career progression, yeah.

-Then what after that?

0:06:290:06:34

I don't know. I think that's the top of the field.

0:06:340:06:38

-So you're nearly there?

-Yeah.

-And you're only how old?

-28.

-Fantastic.

0:06:380:06:42

-Why Denise?

-She hesitated.

0:06:420:06:45

-Where are you from, Mike?

-I'm from Birmingham, Anne.

-Oh!

0:06:460:06:49

-What do you do?

-I'm retired.

0:06:500:06:53

-What do you do every day?

-I like philately and also I'm enthusiastic about railways.

0:06:530:06:59

Yeah. So you collect stamps?

0:06:590:07:02

-Yes.

-And you train-spot?

-In a word, yes.

0:07:020:07:05

-Do you take Mrs Mike train-spotting?

-No, I'm not married.

-No.

0:07:050:07:10

-I suppose you're not if your hobbies are stamp-collecting and train-spotting.

-I have been married.

0:07:100:07:16

-Were you stamp-collecting and train-spotting then?

-Yes.

0:07:160:07:20

-How long did that marriage last?

-15 years.

-Oh.

0:07:200:07:24

-Where did she go?

-We parted amicably after the end of 15 years,

0:07:240:07:30

realising that we'd reached the end of our interest in each other.

0:07:300:07:34

-Oh, right. Why Denise?

-The hesitation, I'm afraid.

0:07:340:07:38

Denise, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:07:380:07:41

The team voted me off, which I think, in fairness, is correct

0:07:490:07:54

because I did hesitate a millisecond. It's no excuse.

0:07:540:07:57

Somebody had to go and it had to be me.

0:07:570:08:00

All of us got the questions correct, but I just hesitated a millisecond and that got me the boot.

0:08:000:08:06

I think it was justified, really.

0:08:060:08:08

Andy.

0:11:550:11:57

Andy.

0:11:590:12:01

-What do you do, Bren?

-I'm retired, Anne, so I spend my day doing what I please.

0:12:020:12:08

Put your board down, Bren.

OK, put your board up again.

0:12:330:12:35

-Where are you living?

-In Oldham.

0:12:350:12:37

Give me an idea of what you and your poodle get up to.

0:12:370:12:41

-We walk, we meet people.

-Are you trying to pick someone up?

0:12:410:12:45

It would be quite nice, but there's not been anybody suitable yet.

-What are you looking for, roughly?

-Intelligent. Funny.

0:12:490:12:54

0:13:300:13:33

Yes, I did. I got Best Actress twice in the GMDF, which is the Greater Manchester Drama Federation.

0:13:330:13:39

Who was up against you? Vanessa Redgrave? Judi Dench?

0:13:390:13:43

I think Judi was in one of them, but...

0:13:430:13:46

Let's have an example of your superb acting skills.

0:13:460:13:50

Last year, I was in a play where I had to get a Geordie accent, which I struggled with,

0:13:500:13:55

"Never be ashamed of your dreams, pet, or your beliefs.

I have a team of seven and we support events and meetings and conferences.

0:14:140:14:22

Yes. What area of commerce is it?

0:14:220:14:25

-It's in the IT industry.

-Do you think you put the glamour back in IT?

0:14:250:14:30

-I don't think there is any glamour in IT.

-If there was, would you put it back in?

-I don't think so, no.

0:14:300:14:36

-Why's that?

-I think there's more glamorous people about.

-You don't(?)

-Such as you.

0:14:360:14:41

-Why Andy?

-Andy, sadly, got two wrong.

-Andy, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:14:410:14:47

The way I'd assess my experience and what I've achieved today would be I do know more general knowledge.

0:14:550:15:02

0:18:170:18:20

As the only player to get all their answers wrong, Judith is the weakest link.

0:18:200:18:26

The statistics show that Paul is the strongest link, but will the votes follow the facts?

0:18:260:18:32

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

0:18:330:18:38

Judith.

0:18:380:18:40

Jen.

They do. They survive very well. There's a lot of traffic that runs through Rugby.

That's a no-no. That's cheating.

0:19:510:19:54

Yeah, but it would be cheaper.

-What site do you go on?

-I'm on Dating Direct.

0:20:260:20:29

Then there's another one that's really good called Senior Friend Finder.

-I found a couple, but we didn't get on.

-What happened?

0:20:340:20:39

They just weren't as they described themselves.

0:20:390:20:43

-One of them had a wooden leg and he never mentioned it.

-No.

0:20:430:20:47

And how do you describe yourself?

0:20:470:20:50

"Not quite desperate."

0:20:500:20:52

-Why Jen?

-Unfortunately, she got two questions wrong.

0:20:520:20:57

Jen, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:20:570:21:00
