-Where are you from, Bobby? -I'm from Troon, South Ayrshire. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
-What do you do? -I'm a film-making student. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |

-So you're a baby Spielberg, are you? -You could say that. | 0:04:56 | 0:05:00 | |
-What sort of films have you made so far? -We made a film called Ten. | 0:05:00 | 0:05:03 | |
Yes. Is that just someone standing there counting? | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
It's about ten people and their secrets | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
and their desire to cover up their identities. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
And when you're not making boring films, what do you do? | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
-I go figure skating. -Do you? | 0:05:14 | 0:05:16 | |
You could do Saving Private Ryan On Ice, couldn't you? | 0:05:16 | 0:05:20 | |
Yeah, I suppose that would be a novelty. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:22 | |
-Why Alan? -We all did well but I think Alan was a bit slower than everyone else. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:27 | |
Was he? What do you do, Rhonda? | 0:05:27 | 0:05:29 | |
-I'm a security officer. -Are you? | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
Do you just stand there and terrify people? | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |

So take us through the look. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:39 | |
-Butch. -Butch. | 0:05:39 | 0:05:41 | |

-Have you got a darts name? -Chesty Westy. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
Chesty Westy? Why on earth would that be? | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
Come up with your own conclusion, Ann. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
-Why Alan? -Because everybody did the same | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
and I just voted for Alan. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:20 | |
So what do you do, Peter? | 0:06:20 | 0:06:21 | |
-I'm a chaplain within the University of Cambridge. -Really? | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
With that shirt, I thought you'd come straight from a vicars and tarts party. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
There are two ways of looking at this shirt. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
It's either for Easter or it's my "I'm a deckchair" shirt. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
-Yes. -But people like it. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
-Where did you get the material from? -St Ives in Cornwall. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
-Are you a particular sort of vicar? -Yes, a chaplain. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
So I've joined one of the faculties | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
and I like alcohol, women and as little work as possible, | 0:06:44 | 0:06:49 | |
how will you introduce me to God? | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
It's whether you want to talk to me about it or not. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
-Oh, so you don't break your neck? -Absolutely not, no. | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
No, you like an easy life | 0:06:56 | 0:06:58 | |
because you need plenty of time to go to Cornwall, don't you? | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
-There's always plenty to do. -To get more of those. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
-Why Alan? -No reason at all. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:07 | |
We all got one right and somebody had to go. | 0:07:07 | 0:07:09 | |
I think it's his winning smile. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:11 | |
Alan! You are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
I suppose being told afterwards that you were in fact the strongest link | 0:07:20 | 0:07:25 | |
because you banked that money | 0:07:25 | 0:07:26 | |
does make you think, well, maybe that's why they voted me off. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:31 | |
Maybe they thought I was too much of a danger, get rid of him early. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:36 | |
Round two. In the bank, £1,000. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
We're now taking ten seconds off your time. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
You voted off the strongest link, who banked you all the money, | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
so we'll start with the second strongest, that's Orla. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:50 | |

Orla, did you think Phil was the worst player? | 0:33:09 | 0:33:11 | |
I may have been the worst but he was probably close. | 0:33:11 | 0:33:14 | |
-You were the worst. -Was I? -Why Phil? | 0:33:15 | 0:33:18 | |
Because he got a couple of questions wrong. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:21 | |

I think the reaction at home won't be too bad. | 0:33:45 | 0:33:47 | |
They'd have loved me to have gone off first, | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
so they could take the mickey at work and my friends, | 0:33:50 | 0:33:52 | |
but the fact that I got relatively far, | 0:33:52 | 0:33:54 | |
it's not a win but it's not going off first, so it'll soon blow over. | 0:33:54 | 0:33:59 | |

In round eight, you get the chance to treble what you bank. | 0:36:17 | 0:36:21 | |
Before that, it's time to vote off the weakest link. | 0:36:21 | 0:36:24 | |
As she gave the most correct answers, Helen is the strongest link. | 0:36:26 | 0:36:30 | |
The statistics show that Orla is still the weakest link | 0:36:30 | 0:36:33 | |
but who will lose out in the final vote? | 0:36:33 | 0:36:36 | |
Voting over. It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:43 | |

Orla. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:53 | |
So, Vicar, when you're preaching in your parish... | 0:36:54 | 0:36:57 | |
the theme of honesty must come in quite a lot, doesn't it? | 0:36:58 | 0:37:01 | |
-Yes. -Yeah. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:03 | |
So how will you go back and explain to them | 0:37:03 | 0:37:06 | |
that in the round where you had to vote off the weakest link, | 0:37:06 | 0:37:11 | |
you chose to vote off the person who got the most answers correctly? | 0:37:11 | 0:37:17 | |
It's complex, being a contestant. | 0:37:17 | 0:37:19 | |
There's a lot to watch, a lot to think about. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:21 | |
-I'm only a man, after all. -I don't want you to lie more. | 0:37:21 | 0:37:25 | |
I'm telling the truth. | 0:37:25 | 0:37:26 | |
No, you've now voted off the strongest link. | 0:37:26 | 0:37:29 | |
-Well, I thought Helen got... -No, no, don't lie. That'll be the third lie. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:34 | |
Helen got as many wrong as I did and I can't vote for myself. | 0:37:34 | 0:37:37 | |
So you're saying you thought Helen, who answered three questions correctly, was the worst player | 0:37:37 | 0:37:44 | |
-and not Orla, who only answered... -I was counting wrong questions. | 0:37:44 | 0:37:47 | |
-That's what I was trying to do. -Yes, OK. | 0:37:47 | 0:37:50 | |
So I think we're up to five lies now. Why Helen? | 0:37:50 | 0:37:53 | |
-Well, I thought she got as many wrong as I did... -Six lies! | 0:37:53 | 0:37:58 | |
-Orla, why Helen? -Erm, that might have been a tactical move. | 0:37:58 | 0:38:02 | |
Helen! You are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:05 | |
I came on the Weakest Link today because I've reached that age in life | 0:38:10 | 0:38:13 | |
where there are lots of things you think, "I ought to do that one day." | 0:38:13 | 0:38:17 | |
At 45, you start to think, "It's time I started doing them," | 0:38:17 | 0:38:21 | |
so I thought, "Yeah, I've always fancied having a go at that," | 0:38:21 | 0:38:24 | |
so I decided not to wait any longer and get on with it. | 0:38:24 | 0:38:28 | |
