Here are today's contestants

0:00:020:00:04

preparing for the show.

0:00:040:00:06

One will go home with prize money of up to £10,000.

0:00:060:00:09

The others leave with nothing

0:00:090:00:11

as their team-mates vote them the weakest link.

0:00:110:00:15

Welcome to The Weakest Link

0:00:290:00:31

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

0:00:340:00:39

They don't know each other.

0:00:390:00:42

If they want the money they'll have to work as a team.

0:00:420:00:45

But eight leave with nothing as round by round we lose the player voted the weakest link.

0:00:450:00:52

Let's meet the team.

0:00:520:00:54

I'm Kelly. I'm 21 and I'm a barmaid from Redruth in Cornwall.

0:00:560:01:00

My name is Austin. I'm 40 years old and a prison officer from South London.

0:01:120:01:18

I'm Nick. I'm 19. I'm a library assistant from Cambridge.

0:01:190:01:23

I'm Lucy. I'm 37. I'm a part-time law student from Cressing in Essex.

Now the rules.

0:01:470:01:49

The aim is to answer enough questions to reach £1000 in the time limit.

0:01:490:01:54

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

0:01:540:01:59

Get one wrong and you break a chain.

0:01:590:02:01

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

0:02:010:02:06

However, you start a new chain from scratch.

0:02:060:02:11

Only money that has been banked

0:02:110:02:13

can be taken forward.

0:02:130:02:15

0:16:090:16:15

Austin is the strongest link again.

But what factors will the team take into account as they decide?

0:16:250:16:30

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

0:16:320:16:36

Austin,

0:16:530:16:55

-why Nick?

-I felt he didn't do as well as he could. He let us down.

0:16:550:17:01

-Lucy, not your finest round for a MENSA member.

-No.

-Aren't you intelligent?

0:17:010:17:07

In theory.

0:17:070:17:09

Nick, a library assistant?

0:17:280:17:32

When I watch at home, I yell, "Fool!" when they get easy ones wrong.

0:17:400:17:45

I got a lot of easy ones wrong!

0:17:450:17:48

I was hoping to get further. I do well at home.

0:17:480:17:51

Yvonne will be the next to go. She gets her answers right,

0:17:510:17:56

but takes far too long to answer.

0:17:560:17:58

That might annoy the team.

0:17:580:18:01

I urge you,

0:21:020:21:04

eliminate the unnecessary. Lighten the load.

0:21:040:21:08

Heighten the cash. It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:21:080:21:12

Yvonne is the strongest link. She got all her questions right.

0:21:140:21:19

Ross is the weakest link. He got all of his questions wrong.

0:21:190:21:23

But who will lose out in the vote?

0:21:230:21:26

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

0:21:270:21:31

We have a three-way tie.

0:21:440:21:47

Lucy, the MENSA member, Robin, the prep schoolmaster and Ross, the student.

0:21:470:21:52

Ross.

0:21:520:21:54

-Why Robin?

-Although I did bad, so did Robin.

-He didn't do as badly as you.

0:21:540:22:00

He didn't. No.

0:22:000:22:03

Robin, you've only got three questions wrong in the game, why do they want to be rid of you?

0:22:030:22:09

Perhaps I'm too good!

0:22:090:22:12

-What's wrong with Ross?

-He got more wrong than I did

0:22:120:22:15

and I banked some money, so it's got to be Ross.

0:22:150:22:19

When the vote is tied, the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote.

0:22:210:22:28

Yvonne, you were the strongest link. You voted for Lucy.

0:22:280:22:32

Statistically, she wasn't the weakest player.

0:22:320:22:36

But...

0:22:360:22:38

you can stick with Lucy if you like

0:22:380:22:40

or you can change your mind to Robin or Ross.

0:22:400:22:43

Well, I thought she was, so I'll stick with her.

0:22:450:22:48

-But she's a member of MENSA, Yvonne.

-I'm not.

0:22:480:22:52

You're a MENSA member but you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:22:520:22:57

I was a victim of tactical voting.

0:23:040:23:06

Robin and Ross were worse.

0:23:060:23:09

Yvonne got rid of me to narrow the competition. She wants the money.

0:23:090:23:14

I think she intends to be the winner.

0:23:140:23:16

Round Five. Your total is £1530.

0:23:190:23:23

If you'd hit your target, it would be £4000.

We start with the strongest link - Yvonne. Let's play The Weakest Link.

to sling their hook? Vote off the weakest link.

0:26:060:26:09

Yvonne is the strongest link again.

0:26:120:26:15

Ross is the weakest link with three wrong answers.

0:26:150:26:18

But can he survive a second vote?

0:26:180:26:21

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

0:26:230:26:27

Yvonne, you're shaping up quite nicely, aren't you?

0:26:410:26:45

I didn't rate your chances earlier.

0:26:450:26:47

Why Ross?

0:26:470:26:49

-You've gone slow again, Yvonne.

-It's very difficult to judge

0:26:500:26:55

how many people have got right.

0:26:550:26:57

that's quite easy, isn't it?

More than he's got right. Austin, why Ross?

0:27:040:27:07

Well, he didn't give me too many opportunities to bank that round.

You didn't give Yvonne many opportunities to bank.

Just the one, I think.

0:27:380:27:41

Being voted off as the weakest link is shameful.

0:27:480:27:51

I could have done better.

0:27:510:27:53

But on the day you've got to perform.

0:27:530:27:57

Robin will be voted off next.

0:27:570:27:59

He's had a few weak rounds.

He could turn it round but not the way the rest are playing.

0:30:380:30:43

Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:30:430:30:46

For the third time in a row, Yvonne is the strongest link.

0:30:490:30:53

Although all the players got just one question wrong, Robin is the weakest link.

0:30:530:30:59

So how will the players decide who to vote off?

0:30:590:31:02

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

0:31:030:31:08

Austin, why Robin?

0:31:190:31:21

I know I wasn't good, and Robin was next.

0:31:210:31:24

All right. Ian, you've been trying

You accept that excuse at school?

0:31:440:31:49

-I run a much more relaxed class.

-Oh, do you?

0:31:490:31:52

OK. Well, I hope they're watching. You are the weakest link, unanimously. Goodbye.

I was a bit isolated on that side of the studio.

0:32:050:32:08

It's disappointing to see the boards with your name on! Very deflating.

0:32:090:32:15

Yvonne is consistently strong,

0:32:150:32:18

but I feel there might be some tactical voting.

0:32:180:32:22

The men might gang up to vote her off.

0:32:220:32:24

Round Seven. Three of you left. £2100 in the bank.

-Fifteen.

-Time is up.

0:34:410:34:44

The correct answer was 14.

0:34:440:34:46

In that round you banked £170.

0:34:460:34:49

In Round Eight you get the chance

0:34:490:34:51

to treble what you bank,

0:34:510:34:55

so there's £3000 to be won.

0:34:550:34:57

But who are you going to get rid of?

0:34:570:35:00

Who is least likely to raise the bank balance to its maximum?

0:35:000:35:05

In other words, it's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:35:050:35:09

Yvonne is the strongest link for the fourth time.

0:35:110:35:15

Ian is the weakest link although he did bank money.

0:35:150:35:19

So who will lose out at this crucial stage of the game?

0:35:190:35:22

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

0:35:240:35:29

Austin, what do you do?

0:35:390:35:41

-I'm a prison officer.

-Are you expected to be fair in your judgements?

0:35:410:35:46

-Of course.

-So explain to us how you've come to the conclusion

0:35:460:35:52

that Yvonne is the weakest link.

0:35:520:35:55

I had a choice of two and I felt that Yvonne was showing the strain.

0:35:550:36:00

-Would you seriously expect us to believe that?

-Of course.

0:36:000:36:05

Really?

0:36:050:36:07

I'm glad I'm not in your prison.

0:36:070:36:09

She's been the strongest link

0:36:090:36:12

in the last round and in the three rounds before that.

0:36:120:36:16

-Ian, what do you do?

-Meat inspector.

0:36:160:36:19

Is honesty and judgement involved in your work?

0:36:190:36:23

Yes. We've got to sort out the mad cows.

0:36:230:36:26

So can you explain why the strongest link in the last round and the three rounds before that

0:36:260:36:33

you have chosen as the weakest link?

0:36:330:36:36

I'm also a gentleman and I think you should give the lady a seat.

0:36:360:36:40

-Are you ashamed of yourself?

-No.

0:36:400:36:43

Austin,

0:36:430:36:45

-are you ashamed of your choice?

-No.

-You both should be.

0:36:450:36:49

Yvonne, whoever wins, Austin or Ian,

0:36:490:36:52

they should both have their heads hung low in disgrace.

0:36:520:36:57

They have decided you are the weakest link.

0:36:570:37:00

I'm sorry to see you go. Goodbye.

0:37:000:37:03

I'm not hurt that I was voted off. I'm furious.

0:37:110:37:14

I think I could have probably won the money.

0:37:140:37:18

I think Austin will win. He's the stronger of the two competitors.

0:37:180:37:22

I think both of them

0:37:220:37:25

have a broad yellow streak.

0:37:250:37:27

Round Eight. £2270 in the bank.

0:37:300:37:34

Austin and Ian,

0:37:340:37:36

just the two of you left.

0:37:360:37:38

Whatever you win in this round will be trebled

0:37:380:37:41

and added to your prize money.

0:37:410:37:44

So £3000 is at stake in this round.

0:37:440:37:47

You have shamefully voted off the strongest link so we start with the second strongest.

0:37:470:37:53

That's Austin. Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:37:530:37:57

0:39:280:39:30

Time is up.

0:39:340:39:36

What a duo of brainboxes we have here!

0:39:360:39:39

You answered two questions correctly.

0:39:390:39:43

No wonder you got rid of Yvonne.

0:39:430:39:46

You would have stood no chance, either of you.

0:39:460:39:49

You banked £40.

0:39:510:39:53

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

0:39:530:39:57

That means prize money today of £2390.

0:39:570:40:01

Only one of you can take it away,

0:40:010:40:04

so now you play against each other, head-to-head.

0:40:040:40:07

I'll ask alternate questions, best of five. Whoever answers the most correctly wins.

0:40:070:40:15

If you tie, we play Sudden Death until we have a winner.

0:40:150:40:19

Austin and Ian,

0:40:190:40:21

for £2390, let's play The Weakest Link.

0:40:210:40:24

Ian, as the strongest link, you have the choice

0:40:250:40:28

0:43:370:43:41

We both had a few rounds where we didn't do well,

0:43:410:43:45

but he did best when it counts

0:43:450:43:47

and he went home with the money. Fair play to him.

0:43:470:43:50

0:43:550:43:59

because they don't feel like this.
