Of the nine people here

0:00:030:00:05

only one will take home prize money

0:00:050:00:07

of up to £10,000.

0:00:070:00:09

The rest will leave with nothing

0:00:090:00:11

after their team mates vote them the weakest link.

0:00:110:00:16

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:280:00:30

Any of the nine people in the studio here today

0:00:320:00:35

could win up to £10,000.

0:00:350:00:38

They don't know each other.

0:00:380:00:40

However, if they want the prize money

0:00:400:00:43

they'll have to work as a team.

0:00:430:00:45

But, eight of them will leave with nothing

0:00:450:00:48

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

0:00:480:00:52

Let's meet the team.

0:00:520:00:54

I'm Cath. I'm 36. I'm unemployed and I'm from Middlesbrough.

0:00:560:01:00

My name is Dennis. I'm 67.

0:01:460:01:49

to answer enough questions to reach £1,000

0:01:490:01:52

within the time limit.

0:01:520:01:55

The best way is to create a chain of nine answers.

0:01:550:01:57

Get your question wrong and you break the chain

0:01:570:02:01

and lose all the money in that chain.

0:02:010:02:04

But if you bank first

0:02:040:02:06

the money is safe.

0:02:060:02:09

However, you start a new chain.

0:02:090:02:12

At the end of the round,

0:02:120:02:13

only money that has been banked

0:02:130:02:16

can be taken forward.

0:02:160:02:18

In Round One, there are three minutes on the clock.

You kept it secret.

0:06:550:06:58

Dennis,

-I think I got one wrong.

0:07:000:07:04

0:07:440:07:45

No questions right.

0:07:470:07:49

-Off to the clouds again.

0:07:490:07:52

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:07:520:07:54

When my name came up on the boards I was expecting it.

0:08:000:08:04

There was one or two who didn't vote for me. I was actually quite chuffed.

0:08:040:08:09

My friends will give me grief for this.

0:08:090:08:12

The 160 guys in my squad, every one of them, will look for me.

0:08:120:08:16

It'll be Iris or Jane next

And again,

0:11:340:11:35

you banked £400 in that round.

0:11:350:11:38

Who does not deserve to stay?

0:11:380:11:41

Who will cost you money if they linger?

0:11:410:11:44

One of you will leave with nothing.

0:11:440:11:47

Let's vote off the weakest link.

0:11:470:11:49

Cath is the strongest link.

0:11:510:11:53

The statistics show Iris is the weakest link.

0:11:530:11:57

But how will the players make their choice when it comes to the vote?

0:11:570:12:02

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

Why Dennis?

0:12:340:12:35

He lost a lot of time with one of the questions

0:12:350:12:39

and he was breaking the chain too often.

0:12:390:12:42

We couldn't add the money up.

0:12:420:12:45

Cath, why Dennis?

0:12:450:12:46

I remembered him getting the most wrong and taking time.

0:12:460:12:50

You thought he was the weakest link.

0:12:500:12:53

Possibly.

0:12:530:12:55

Of course he wasn't, was he, Iris?

0:12:550:12:57

-No.

-Who was the weakest link?

0:12:570:12:59

Probably me.

0:12:590:13:01

Yes. But they didn't notice or not enough of them.

0:13:010:13:05

The only one who did was Dennis.

0:13:050:13:07

Dennis, I don't want to rush you

0:13:070:13:09

but after I've finished speaking to you you have to go quickly.

0:13:090:13:13

-Do you understand that?

-Just about.

0:13:130:13:16

You are the weakest link, goodbye.

0:13:160:13:19

I'm very disappointed to be voted off this early

0:13:230:13:27

because I clearly wasn't the weakest link.

0:13:270:13:30

I should have got the question about sugar cane right

0:13:300:13:34

because I've been travelling in the West Indies and seen a lot of it growing.

0:13:340:13:39

Round Three.

0:13:400:13:42

You could have won £2,000 by now

Seven of you left. 10 seconds off the clock.

Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

0:17:180:17:23

Cath... Had enough of Iris?

0:17:560:17:58

Are you with us?

0:18:010:18:03

Gosh, you do catch on fast(!)

0:18:110:18:14

Iris...

0:18:150:18:17

0:18:190:18:23

When you're debt counselling, do you have all that time to work out?

That's not working here. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:18:320:18:36

I'm disappointed at being voted off

0:18:410:18:43

when I wasn't the weakest link.

0:18:430:18:45

In actual fact, in the voting,

0:18:450:18:48

I was the only one who voted for the weakest link.

0:18:480:18:51

0:22:100:22:14

But will the voting follow the facts?

0:22:140:22:17

Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

0:22:190:22:23

Peter... Had enough of Cath?

0:22:390:22:42

She did very well at first.

0:22:420:22:44

But last time she had some disastrous questions.

0:22:440:22:48

The questions were fine, I think there were some disastrous answers.

0:22:490:22:55

Manoj, why do you want to get rid of Cath?

Because by the time it was getting to me there wasn't anything to bank.

0:22:590:23:04

-It all fell apart.

-It was an appalling round.

0:23:050:23:09

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:23:090:23:12

I was lucky earlier on with questions.

That round I was horribly unlucky.

0:23:200:23:23

I didn't get one that I knew.

0:23:230:23:25

When I guessed, I guessed wrong.

0:23:250:23:27

Manoj or Edwin will go next.

0:23:270:23:29

They've not had great rounds till now.

0:26:210:26:27

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:26:300:26:33

Barbara is the strongest link for the fourth time.

0:26:340:26:38

She got all her questions right.

0:26:380:26:40

Statistically, Jane is the weakest link.

0:26:400:26:44

Do the other players realise this?

0:26:440:26:46

Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

0:27:120:27:17

-Hello?

-No, not at all.

0:27:190:27:21

-You didn't think he was the weakest link?

-I don't think so.

0:27:210:27:25

So why did you vote for him?

0:27:250:27:28

I couldn't vote for myself.

0:27:280:27:30

Assuming you were the weakest link, and you weren't,

0:27:320:27:36

did you think he was the second-weakest link?

0:27:360:27:39

Yes.

0:27:390:27:41

We're not rushing you, are we?

0:27:410:27:44

No, not at all.

0:27:440:27:46

Jane, who did you think was the weakest link?

0:27:460:27:49

-Manoj.

Try again.

I can't believe it's me.

0:27:540:27:56

Barbara...

0:27:560:27:58

-Why Manoj?

-Obviously I thought he was the weakest link in that round.

0:27:580:28:03

I think Peter was pushing a close second.

0:28:050:28:08

When the vote is tied,

0:28:080:28:10

the strongest link casts the deciding vote.

0:28:100:28:14

You could vote for Manoj...

0:28:150:28:17

who got two questions wrong and banked £20.

0:28:180:28:21

Or Edwin who got two questions wrong and banked £200.

0:28:220:28:26

You can't vote for the weakest link. Though she can't believe it,

0:28:270:28:32

that was Jane.

0:28:320:28:34

Who would you like to get rid of?

0:28:340:28:36

Seeing as Edwin's earning the money, I'll stick with my choice.

0:28:360:28:41

Manoj, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:28:430:28:46

Barbara made absolutely the right choice.

0:28:510:28:54

By that stage I was starting to get very nervy.

0:28:540:28:58

I simply couldn't answer the questions for nerves.

0:28:580:29:02

0:31:430:31:49

Who should now be shown the door? Who is no help towards a better bank balance?

0:31:490:31:55

0:32:100:32:14

Peter,

0:32:250:32:27

-not one of your finest rounds.

-No, indeed.

0:32:270:32:31

I did get 40% of the right answers for the team, though, that time.

0:32:310:32:37

-Yeah, the others were rubbish.

-Terrible.

0:32:370:32:41

-Why Jane?

-She's done very well up to now,

0:32:410:32:45

been formidable, but she seemed to be hesitating,

0:32:450:32:48

-a little bit nervous, perhaps.

-Barbara,

0:32:480:32:52

do they not have gravlax where you come from?

0:32:520:32:55

All above my head.

0:32:560:32:58

-Right, why Jane?

-I think she did have a bit of a bad round.

0:32:580:33:03

probably about the same as me,

0:33:030:33:05

but I was hoping my previous performance would save me.

0:33:050:33:09

-You lost the will to live in that round.

-Just a bit.

0:33:090:33:13

Quite a lot. You didn't get a single question right.

0:33:130:33:17

Despite fierce competition, with three votes, you are the weakest link, goodbye.

0:33:170:33:23

I thought I might have a chance of winning here.

0:33:280:33:32

But when the chips were down, I was the weakest link on that round.

0:33:320:33:38

I deserve to be here but it's a shame

0:33:380:33:40

I don't have a fat cheque to take home.

In Round Eight you can treble what you've banked.

0:36:080:36:12

In the next round there's £3000 to be won.

0:36:120:36:15

The question is, who is least likely

0:36:150:36:18

to assist the winner

0:36:180:36:22

in taking away the maximum amount of money.

0:36:220:36:25

Time to vote off the weakest link.

Barbara is strongest once again.

Peter has gone from strongest link to weakest link.

0:36:320:36:36

But who will lose out at this crucial stage?

0:36:360:36:39

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

0:36:410:36:46

Well, well. Barbara,

-why are you looking embarrassed?

-I'm not embarrassed at all.

0:36:560:37:00

-Is Edwin your...

-He's been a star in the last few rounds.

He had a slow start, but he's been fabulous.

0:37:040:37:08

-I haven't finished the question.

-I'm sure he was great, whatever it was.

0:37:080:37:13

-You didn't fancy Peter in the final?

-Not in the final round.

0:37:130:37:18

Edwin, why Peter?

0:37:180:37:21

Well, it was tactical. I knew he'd vote for me

0:37:220:37:25

I knew the choice would come down to Barbara.

0:37:250:37:29

He had a worse round than me.

0:37:290:37:31

So, I was going to go for him. Try and keep myself in.

0:37:310:37:35

Well, Peter, in fact you WERE the weakest link in that last round.

0:37:360:37:41

Whether that's why Barbara voted you off is another matter.

0:37:420:37:46

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:37:460:37:48

Edwin did vote tactically.

0:37:540:37:56

And I think that's fair enough.

0:37:560:37:59

He's very lucky to have got so far. I don't blame him at all.

0:38:060:38:10

0:38:170:38:20

You have only 90 seconds but what you win will be trebled

0:38:200:38:24

and added to your total to make your prize.

0:38:240:38:27

£3000 is at stake in this round. We start with the strongest link. That's Barbara.

You put away just £50.

0:40:140:40:16

We'll treble it and add it to previous winnings.

0:40:160:40:20

That means prize money today of £1790.

0:40:200:40:24

Only one of you can take that money.

0:43:170:43:20

Join us again for The Weakest Link. Goodbye.

0:43:220:43:26

I was really, really nervous, but I seemed to be doing OK.

0:43:270:43:31

Nobody was voting for me early on.

0:43:310:43:33

I thought Barbara did very well throughout the course of the rounds.

0:43:330:43:38

She was the strongest link on most of them. I don't begrudge her her win.

0:43:380:43:43
