'Of the nine contestants on today's show, only one will take home prize money of up to £10,000.

0:00:020:00:08

'The rest will leave with nothing, as one by one they're voted off as the weakest link.'

0:00:080:00:15

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:290:00:31

Any of the nine people in the studio here today

0:00:320:00:37

could win up to £10,000.

0:00:370:00:40

They don't know each other. If they want the prize money, they'll have to work as a team.

0:00:400:00:46

Eight of them will leave with nothing,

0:00:460:00:50

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

0:00:500:00:54

Let's meet the team.

0:00:540:00:57

I'm Joanna. I'm 26 from Leigh-on-Sea. I'm a legal secretary.

0:00:580:01:03

I'm Cristian. I'm 32. I live in Bristol. I'm a master's student.

0:01:030:01:07

I'm Stephanie. I'm 35. I live in Somerset. I'm currently unemployed.

0:01:070:01:13

I'm Edward, aged 61. I live at Bridge of Earn near Perth.

0:01:130:01:18

I'm a retired psychiatric nurse.

0:01:180:01:20

I'm Molly. I'm 53. I live in Lewes in Sussex,

0:01:200:01:24

0:01:270:01:33

I'm Jill, aged 44. I live in Leicester.

0:01:330:01:36

I'm an associate director for a finance company.

0:01:360:01:39

I'm David. I'm 22, from Newcastle.

I'm a customer service adviser for Reading Borough Council.

0:01:420:01:45

0:01:450:01:50

I'm an oil company sales rep.

0:01:500:01:53

Now, the rules. In each round the aim is to answer enough questions correctly

0:01:530:01:59

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

0:01:590:02:04

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

0:02:040:02:08

If you're wrong you break the chain and lose the money in that chain.

0:02:080:02:14

If you say "bank" before the question is asked,

0:02:140:02:18

the money is safe, but you start a new chain from scratch.

0:02:180:02:23

At the end of the round, only money that has been banked can be carried forward.

0:02:230:02:29

Three minutes on the clock.

0:18:520:18:55

Stephanie, with six votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:18:550:19:00

I'm annoyed with myself.

0:19:090:19:12

To go out after getting a difficult question wrong is one thing,

0:19:120:19:16

but to go out on easy questions, I'm annoyed with myself.

0:19:160:19:20

0:28:270:28:33

I'd like to see Jill go.

0:28:420:28:44

Because I voted for her all along and she just didn't go.

0:33:250:33:28

He didn't pay any attention to the amount of money I banked.

0:33:280:33:33

It could be Thomas who gets that money.

0:33:330:33:37

He's got me to thank for banking some of that money.

In the next round there's £3,000 to be won.

0:36:200:36:24

The question is who don't you want around for that?

0:36:240:36:29

Who is least likely to raise the bank balance?

0:36:290:36:33

Who'll let you down? Have courage to vote off the weakest link.

0:36:330:36:37

'Thomas is statistically the strongest for the fourth time.

0:36:400:36:45

'Molly is the weakest link, but at this pivotal point, can she survive the final vote?'

0:36:450:36:51

Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

0:36:540:36:57

Thomas, why Molly?

0:37:060:37:09

My maths tells me if two are going to be left, one has to go

0:37:090:37:13

and I chose that one to be Molly.

0:37:130:37:17

-Jill.

-Yes, Anne?

0:37:170:37:19

What is it about Molly you dislike?

0:37:190:37:22

I don't dislike anything, I just think she was the weakest.

0:37:220:37:28

Molly, with two votes you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:37:280:37:32

It worked out pretty well for Thomas. I had a bad round.

0:37:420:37:46

It was his chance to avoid me in the final.

0:37:460:37:49

He may have won against me, but he will certainly beat Jill.

0:37:490:37:54

Round eight, and you have in the bank £2,310.

0:37:570:38:01

There are two of you left, Jill and Thomas.

0:38:010:38:05

You have 90 seconds.

0:38:080:38:10

Whatever you win in this round will be trebled and added to your total.

0:38:100:38:16

£3,000 is at stake in this round.
