Here are the nine contestants preparing for today's show.

0:00:030:00:07

Only one will win up to £10,000.

0:00:070:00:09

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.

0:00:320:00:37

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

0:00:370:00:43

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

0:00:430:00:49

Let's meet the team.

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

0:01:550:01:59

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

Say "Bank" before the question and the money is safe.

0:02:030:02:07

0:05:240:05:29

-I don't believe in the Christian faith.

0:05:290:05:33

I believe the world is to be worshipped and everything we put in to the world we get back.

0:05:330:05:39

-Are you a witch?

-I am, yes, Anne.

-Can you perform miracles?

0:05:390:05:43

-I can't, but I can put my will into the universe.

-Could you put your will into making me younger

0:05:430:05:49

-or more beautiful?

-I don't need to, Anne.

-No. Good.

0:05:490:05:53

Could you put your will into making me nicer?

0:05:530:05:57

-It's impossible.

-Don't you mean you don't need to?

-I don't need to.

0:05:570:06:02

-Why Katie?

-We all did really well, but I had to choose somebody and I couldn't think of who else.

0:06:020:06:08

-Where are you from, Mark?

-Bramley.

-And what do you do?

-I'm a school handyman.

0:06:080:06:14

-Yes. You need a nose like this.

0:06:140:06:18

0:06:180:06:23

0:06:230:06:30

-Where do you do your singing?

-Karaoke, or if anybody asks me to get up, I do.

0:06:300:06:36

Do you? Is it because you can sing?

0:06:360:06:38

No, not specifically. I just enjoy it, like some people whistle.

0:06:380:06:44

-I'd like to hear you sing.

-Oh, OK.

-Go on, then.

0:06:440:06:47

-Shall I start now, Anne?

-When would you like to start?

-About now.

0:06:470:06:52

# Oh, let me be your teddy bear Put your arm around my neck... #

0:06:520:06:58

What's nice about your singing is you've got a whole new tune!

0:06:580:07:03

No, it's perfectly in tune, Anne. Maybe you're a bit tone deaf.

0:07:030:07:08

-Why Estherre?

-It was one of those rounds where everybody was correct.

0:07:080:07:12

I had to choose somebody and I suppose it was age-related, right, wrong or indifferent.

0:07:120:07:20

-Michelle, what do you do?

-I'm a biomedical scientist.

-Yes.

0:07:200:07:24

-What do you do when you get home?

-I like to do product surveys.

-What do you mean, product surveys?

0:07:240:07:30

-I often get sent free products that I have to comment on.

-Yeah?

0:07:300:07:35

And I do other consumer opinion panels where I just fill in comments and...

0:07:350:07:42

-You're single, are you?

-Yes.

0:07:420:07:45

-I am single now, yes.

-And the surveys, what are they? Food surveys?

0:07:450:07:52

They can be anything, any product, any service.

0:07:520:07:56

-So if there was a survey which said, "Are you big-boned or fat?" which one would you tick?

-Both.

0:07:560:08:03

-Fair enough. Why John?

-Because I had to make a choice. He's directly opposite me...

0:08:030:08:10

-Is that how you do the surveys? Just randomly...

-Sometimes! Just tick the first one you see.

0:08:100:08:17

With the votes tied, the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote and that's David. What do you do?

0:08:170:08:23

-I'm the town mayor.

-The mayor of where?

-Hythe.

0:08:230:08:27

What's a typical day in the life of a mayor in Hythe? Can you make it sing? What's the fun bit?

0:08:270:08:34

Meeting all sorts of very interesting people.

0:08:340:08:38

So when you go along to an opening, what are you likely to do? I know you meet interesting people.

0:08:380:08:45

Well, I might actually ask them what they do and how they're getting on.

0:08:450:08:50

-Really? Just like the Queen?

-Yes.

-They must be very excited.

0:08:500:08:55

-Well, surprisingly, sometimes they are quite pleased to meet me.

-Are they?

-Surprisingly.

0:08:550:09:01

-They've got very dull lives as well?

-I wouldn't say that anybody in Hythe has a dull life.

0:09:010:09:07

No, you wouldn't. You voted for Estherre. Why?

0:09:070:09:11

-Everybody did extremely well.

-Speed it up a bit.

-I had to choose someone and I chose Estherre.

-OK.

0:09:110:09:18

You have a choice now. Stick with Estherre or move to John or Katie.

0:09:180:09:22

I'll stick with my original decision.

0:09:220:09:25

Estherre, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:09:250:09:29

Well, I'm disappointed to go out in the first round.

0:09:340:09:38

I was hoping I'd last a bit longer, but I can hold my head up high.

0:09:380:09:42

Nobody got their question wrong and somebody has to be the first.
