'Of these nine contestants, only one will win up to £10,000.

0:00:020:00:06

'The rest will leave empty-handed

0:00:060:00:09

'as their team-mates vote them the weakest link.'

0:00:090:00:14

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:290:00:32

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

0:00:330:00:39

They don't know each other, but to win money, they must work as a team.

0:00:390:00:44

But eight will leave with nothing

0:00:440:00:48

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

0:00:480:00:53

Let's meet the team.

0:00:530:00:55

I'm 44, I'm a company director from Rishworth, West Yorkshire.

0:00:560:01:03

I'm 44, from Plymouth, I'm raising five sons and I'm a part-time administrator.

I'm 63, a retired pharmaceutical executive from Daventry.

0:01:160:01:22

I'm a 30-year-old civil servant from Wiltshire.

0:01:410:01:45

Now the rules.

0:01:470:01:49

In each round, the aim is to answer questions correctly

0:01:490:01:53

to reach your £1,000 target.

0:01:530:01:56

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

0:01:560:02:00

Get your question wrong, you lose the money in that chain.

0:02:000:02:04

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

0:02:040:02:08

the money is safe

0:02:080:02:11

but you start a new chain from scratch.

0:02:110:02:14

Only money that has been banked can be taken forward.

0:02:140:02:18

In round one there are three minutes on the clock.

0:05:340:05:37

Time is up.

0:05:370:05:38

I cannot complete that question.

0:05:380:05:42

You have a very unimpressive £240 in the bank

0:05:420:05:48

of the £1,000 you could have won.

0:05:480:05:51

Who do you want off the team?

0:05:510:05:53

One of you will leave with nothing. Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:05:530:05:58

'Having answered all his questions correctly,

0:06:000:06:04

'Peter is the strongest link.

0:06:040:06:06

'Dan is the weakest link, failing to answer correctly.

0:06:060:06:10

'Did the rest of the team notice?'

0:06:100:06:13

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

0:06:140:06:19

Karen, why Adrian?

0:06:430:06:45

Adrian got some rotten questions, which was unfortunate for him,

0:06:450:06:50

but he didn't answer them correctly, so he was the weakest link, to me.

0:06:500:06:55

Julie, why Adrian?

0:06:550:06:58

Well, he had to start us off.

0:06:580:07:00

He's a clever bloke maybe nerves got the better of him.

0:07:000:07:05

No evidence of him being clever.

0:07:050:07:07

< No.

0:07:070:07:09

0:07:090:07:14

-No.

-Well, statistically,

0:07:140:07:17

the weakest link was who?

0:07:170:07:19

-Dan.

-Yes, well done. But it's votes that count.

0:07:190:07:24

Don't know where your geography was, Adrian, but you're the weakest link.

0:07:240:07:30

I feel absolutely gutted. It's quite hard to take, actually.

0:07:360:07:41

You set yourself up for the big day and let yourself down.

0:07:410:07:45

I think Dan will go next.

0:07:450:07:47

'He's 18, he hasn't the depth of knowledge of the others.'

0:07:470:07:51

He was the weakest link, I think he'll go next.

0:07:510:07:55

very lowly yet again £230 is the sum total of your efforts.

0:16:380:16:44

'Will his team mates vote him off?'

0:17:020:17:05

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

0:18:170:18:19

But, you know, I'm not a brain surgeon.

0:18:190:18:24

I think Andy'll be voted off next, we've both been consistently bad.

0:18:240:18:29

We're both lucky to be in as far as we did.

That was the correct answer, but you were out of time.

0:21:340:21:39

After all that work, you banked a mere £310.

0:21:390:21:45

Let me remind you, dunces have no place on your team.

0:21:450:21:49

He who hesitates is better off at home, she who passes is a liability.

0:21:490:21:54

Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:21:540:21:57

'The strongest link is Peter, who gave the most correct answers.

0:22:000:22:05

'Andy had the most wrong answers, although he did bank money.

0:22:050:22:10

'Will this save him from the vote?'

0:22:100:22:13

Geoff, what are your specialist subjects?

0:22:340:22:37

0:22:380:22:42

Neither of those cover the difference between banking and passing!

Do you know the difference?

0:22:510:22:53

-I do, yes.

-Right, OK.

0:22:530:22:56

-Best not to pass until you've heard the question.

-I agree.

0:22:560:23:00

Julie, why Andy?

0:23:000:23:03

He's been struggling for a couple of rounds.

0:23:030:23:07

No. Sue, why Andy?

0:23:070:23:12

Again, he's getting questions wrong.

0:23:120:23:15

Andy, unanimously, the team have voted you the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:23:150:23:20

That was the round for me to go off.

0:23:260:23:29

I wasn't the weakest link before.

0:23:290:23:32

'I probably would have voted for myself if I'd had the choice.'

0:23:320:23:37

I think it could be Julie that wins.

0:23:370:23:40

'She seems to be answering the tougher questions correctly.'

0:23:400:23:45

Although she's banking a lot, she is getting her answers correct.

I think Julie will win.

Time is up, team.

0:26:350:26:38

And in that round, yet again,

0:26:380:26:41

you banked a pathetic amount.

0:26:440:26:47

£150 out of a possible £1,000.

0:26:470:26:51

Who is dragging you down?

0:26:510:26:54

Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:26:540:26:56

'The strongest link was Karen, getting all her questions right.

0:26:590:27:04

'The weakest link is Geoff.

0:27:040:27:07

'But who will lose out in the voting?'

0:27:070:27:11

Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

0:27:120:27:16

Karen, why Geoff?

0:27:300:27:32

Geoff wasn't getting as many right as the others.

0:27:320:27:36

-He's too stupid to stay?

-No!

0:27:360:27:39

But the nature of the game...

0:27:390:27:41

Sue, why Geoff?

0:27:410:27:43

Out of the ones that are left, he's perhaps struggling the most.

0:27:430:27:50

Geoff, you've been building up for this for some time.

0:27:500:27:54

Unanimously, the team

0:27:540:27:57

have decided you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:27:570:28:00

I feel as if it was deserved, in fairness.

0:28:050:28:09

'I got all the questions wrong or I passed.'

0:28:090:28:13

I didn't score any points, I didn't bank, so it was well deserved.

0:28:130:28:18

'I think Sue will be voted off next. I think she hesitates.'

0:28:180:28:24

The remaining three are quite strong.

0:28:240:28:28

Round six.

0:28:290:28:31

Of the £5,000 you could have won, you have in your kitty just £170.

0:28:310:28:37

Four of you left, we are cutting another ten seconds from your time.

0:28:370:28:42

Who is now the ball and chain?

0:31:190:31:26

'Julie is the worst player statistically.

0:31:260:31:30

0:31:300:31:33

Voting over.

0:31:330:31:36

Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

0:31:360:31:40

Karen, why Sue?

0:31:550:31:56

I felt she had an unfortunate round previously,

0:31:560:32:01

and she was neck and neck with Julie in this round.

0:32:010:32:06

The past experience swayed me slightly.

0:32:060:32:10

-Julie, why Sue?

-Self-preservation.

0:32:100:32:13

-Right, OK.

-Self-preservation.

-OK.

0:32:130:32:17

Sue, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:32:180:32:22

I felt it was very close between Julie and myself.

0:32:270:32:32

I could have kicked myself

0:32:320:32:34

'I nearly voted for Julie. I began to write J and then changed it to Karen.'

0:32:340:32:40

I think in the next round, it will be Julie or Karen to be voted off.

0:32:400:32:45

Peter's been consistently strong.

0:32:450:32:49

Round seven.

0:32:490:32:51

You have £1,340 in your kitty

0:32:510:32:55

out of a possible £6,000.

0:32:550:32:58

You must be feeling lucky.

0:32:580:33:01

You voted off someone not statistically the weakest link.

0:33:010:33:05

Time is up.

0:35:150:35:17

I cannot complete the question. What an amazing round(!)

0:35:170:35:21

Now you've got rid of so many weak links, you banked just £70.

0:35:210:35:27

In round eight,

0:35:270:35:30

you can treble what you bank, so there is £3,000 to be won.

0:35:300:35:35

Who is least likely to pull up your bank balance?

0:35:350:35:39

Which member of the team will cost you money?

0:35:390:35:43

0:35:490:35:55

'while Peter is the weakest link.

0:35:550:35:58

'But how will the players vote at this crucial stage?'

0:35:580:36:01

Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

0:36:030:36:07

Karen, why Julie?

0:36:160:36:19

It had to be based on the long-term playing,

0:36:190:36:23

and Peter has been exceptionally strong throughout,

0:36:230:36:27

and I couldn't vote him off now.

0:36:270:36:30

-Peter, why Julie?

-I was the weakest link,

0:36:300:36:35

-but I think Julie was second-best to me.

-You got that right.

0:36:350:36:41

Julie is the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:36:410:36:43

I feel miffed about being voted off. I was the strongest link,

0:36:480:36:53

and I voted for the weakest link.

0:36:530:36:58

However, in a previous round,

0:36:580:37:00

I was the weakest link, and I used self-preservation tactics,

0:37:000:37:05

so what comes round goes round.

0:37:050:37:07

Round eight. You have in the bank £1,410. You could have won £7,000.

0:37:090:37:18

Karen and Peter, just two left,

0:37:180:37:20

and this time you have only 90 seconds.

0:37:200:37:24

Whatever you win in this round will be trebled

0:37:240:37:28

so £3,000 is at stake in this round.

0:37:280:37:32

You voted off the strongest link from the last round,

0:37:320:37:36

so we'll start with the second strongest, Karen.

0:37:360:37:40

Let's play The Weakest Link.
