15/08/2013 Weakest Link

Of the nine contestants preparing for today's show,

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

The rest 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 here today could win up to £10,000.

They don't know each other, however.

If they want that 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.

I'm Damien, I'm 28, from Shropshire, and I'm an RAF aircraft mechanic.

I'm Angela, I'm 33, from Sunderland. I'm a hotel and restaurant manager.

I'm Barry, I'm 57, from Yorkshire, and I'm a greeting cards salesman.

I'm Liz, I'm 24, I'm from Manchester. I'm a paralegal.

I'm Stephen, I'm 38,

I'm from Somerset and I'm a lottery co-ordinating manager.

I'm Teresa, I'm 46,

I'm from Iver and I'm a secretary in an estate agent's.

I'm Michael, I'm 22, I'm from Southport and I'm a medical student.

I'm Heather, I'm 40, I'm from West Sussex and I'm a housewife.

I'm Dean, I'm 32 years old, I'm from Derby.

I'm a police firearms officer.

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.

Break the chain, and you lose all the money in that chain.

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

However, you start a new chain from scratch.

Remember, team, only money that has been banked can be taken forward.

There are three minutes on the clock.

We start with the person whose name is first alphabetically Angela.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

The first question is for £20. Start the clock.

APPLAUSE

-Don't get overexcited, team.

-LAUGHTER

You have in fact reached and banked your £1,000 target, but it was the beginning of the game.

The money you've won will go through to the next round,

but one of you will not.

You have ten seconds less. You need to consider who is least likely to help.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

In an impressive opening round, Angela is the strongest link.

Barry is the weakest statistically.

But who will the players vote off at this early stage in the game?

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

Well, that's an extraordinary result, as no-one answered incorrectly.

-Dean, what do you do?

-I'm a police firearms officer.

-Oh.

-D'you not like old people?

-I do.

-Oh. Has Barry got up your nose just standing there?

-Not particularly.

I'm used to working as part of a team and getting good results.

-I think on my feet and I'm here to show you.

-Are you?

-What information are you going on?

-From what I've seen,

-I don't think he'll last till the later rounds.

-Oh.

-Heather, what do you do?

-I'm a housewife.

-So what do you do all day?

-Shop.

-What for?

-Anything and everything.

-Who pays for it?

-My husband.

-Do you shop when you're depressed?

-No, any time.

-Hmm.

-Is it an addiction?

-It's probably getting there, yes.

And what did Barry do to annoy you? He didn't answer any incorrectly.

I thought it'd be best to put him out of his misery now.

-So, Dr Michael, a medical student.

-That's me, Anne.

-You haven't passed all your exams yet.

-Most of them.

From your limited medical knowledge, why did you choose Barry?

-It was an arbitrary decision.

-What do you mean by that?

I had to make a choice and there wasn't much evidence to substantiate the others.

As a would-be doctor, how do you account for the fact

-that so many people decided Barry wasn't up to much?

-Coincidence.

Barry, with eight votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

It's nice to be popular, that they all thought I should be off first.

Maybe it's my looks, my charm, my charisma. I don't know.

Round two and £1,000 in the bank.

You're down to eight players ten seconds off.

We'll start with the strongest link that's Angela. Let's play The Weakest Link.

-He should have got it right.

OK, so it's Heather the housewife or Damien with the awful haircut.

-Damien.

-Damien, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm disappointed to go off so soon. I'll get ribbed forever.

I've not done justice to myself. Everyone'll say, "Serves you right."

-Why Dean?

Dean got two questions wrong which was more than anyone else

Stephen, from the Sports Council. What do they call it now?

-Sport England.

-Why did they change the name?

They decided we should have a name that was more sexy and exciting.

Oh, Sport England. That's got us all going. Why Dean?

It was a difficult decision but he got more questions wrong than other people...

He did, indeed. Dean,

who boasted to us, the policeman, he was gonna think on his feet,

but, in a battle of wits, he turned out to be unarmed.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Being a police officer, I've met some scary people,

but I've never encountered anything as scary as Anne Robinson.

Getting two questions wrong, as a firearms officer, I shot myself in the foot.

Round four, team.

Most people will think a housewife who watches TV all day should have done better.

I'd like Angela to go because she's voted for me twice, unnecessarily so.

Round five, and out of a possible £4,000

you've banked £2,120.

Down to five players, ten seconds off the time.

You thought that's where the Labour Party headquarters were?

I thought maybe it was John Prescott's local.

Why Michael?

I think we all struggled in this round, but he got some easy questions wrong.

Statistically, who did you think was the worst player?

-Me.

-Correct. But it's votes that count.

-Michael, life is not fair.

-No, blatantly.

Go off and be a doctor. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

-No.

-Teresa,

-why Liz?

-Well, she didn't bank.

At the end of the day, someone's got to win and it wasn't my day.

Angela is the weakest link, as she got all her answers wrong.

But who will be taking the final walk of shame?

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

So, Stephen,

why Angela?

That was another very poor round

but I felt Angela got more questions incorrect than the rest of us.

Teresa, why Angela?

Well, she did get the most questions wrong.

She didn't answer a single question correctly.

So, Angela, friend to the famous, particularly Barbara Windsor, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I really deserved to be voted off there,

because I didn't get one question right.

I think Teresa will go on to win the money.

She's kept her cool, her general knowledge is good

and I hope she will go on to win.

Round eight.
