17/10/2012 Weakest Link

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

Only one will take home prize money of up to £10,000.

The rest will leave with nothing

as round by round they're voted off as the weakest link.

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

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

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

but eight of them will leave with nothing,

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

Let's meet the team.

I'm Mark, 21, from Leicester, I've just finished a law degree at Bristol University.

I'm Peter, 64, from Frimley Green, Surrey, a retired international freight forwarder.

I'm Melissa, 37, from West Malling, Kent, a human resources administrator.

I'm Clive, 49, from Nottingham, a part-time leisure organiser.

I'm Jan, 41, from Shrewsbury, a registered nurse.

I'm Julie, 23, from Newcastle-Under-Lyme, a museum researcher.

I'm Eddy, 31, from Preston, Lancs, a fabricator welder.

I'm Sharon, 29, from Trowbridge, Wilts, a full-time mum.

I'm Philip, 39, from Croydon, a printer.

In each round the aim is to answer enough questions correctly

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

The fastest way is a chain of nine correct answers.

A wrong answer loses all the money in that chain.

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

However, you start a new chain from scratch.

At the end of a round, only money banked can be carried forward.

In round one, there are three minutes on the clock. We'll start with Clive.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

First question is for £20. Start the clock.

You can't count either.

Philip was the worst player

but it's votes that count. With five votes, Eddy, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I do feel a bit upset that I was voted off first.

I think Sharon should be standing here. She put me off and it's her fault I'm here.

Round two, team. So far, you've won £570 out of a possible £1,000.

You got rid of Eddy who didn't answer his question as quickly as Sharon answered it for him,

Well, Jan was the worst player but it's votes that count.

Mark isn't paying attention,

let alone getting questions correct

and for someone who's doing law, it doesn't bode too well for the future of British justice.

Statistically Melissa was the worst player, so we've got to sack her.

With four votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

The biblical question, everyone knows, "Salome bring me the head of John the Baptist,"

but I come out with Moses. Pathetic.

Mark's there under false pretences.

He hasn't got as much knowledge and experience as the others.

Sharon.

Mark.

Mark.

Mark.

Clive.

Peter, remind us what you do.

I used to be an international freight forwarder.

Is NTB something you use in the freight cargo business?

No, I was referring to Mark, nothing to bank in that round.

Jan, you don't know any history.

At least I got me geography right. I'm better at that than Mark.

AND you've heard of the Geneva Convention.

You should be a solicitor instead of him.

Mark, not heard of the Geneva Convention and not answered a single geography question correctly.

Mark, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm very disappointed.

Sharon will be next. As the questions get more difficult,

she's getting more nervous.

Round six. You've won £1,680. You could have won £5,000.

Another 10 seconds off your time.

Sharon.

Sharon.

Clive.

Jan.

Clive. What happened to you in that last round?

I picked the wrong letter from the Scrabble set and I've never heard of the state capital of Washington.

-You won't be organising Scrabble holidays there.

-It's too far for our pensioners.

-Why Sharon?

-She got quite a few wrong

and she voted for me last time, so she's not following the plot.

Peter.

-What did Sharon do to upset you?

-Nothing to bank came in again.

-Right.

Statistically, Peter was the worst player, though no-one else voted for him.

But Sharon, with two votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think P-E-T-E-R should be here because he's clearly not as intelligent as I am.

I think Clive is going to win

as he's got nothing to do apart from play Scrabble and read quiz books.

Round seven. You've won £1,960 out of £6,000 you could have won.

Another 10 seconds off the time.

We start with the strongest link, that's Jan. Let's play The Weakest Link.

In round eight, you can treble what you bank which means there's £3,000 to be won.

The question is...who is genuinely NOT your finest opponent?

Have courage to vote off the WEAKEST link.

In a reversal of fortune, Jan is weakest link.

Statistically, Clive is the strongest link

but who will survive the vote?

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

Clive.

Jan.

Peter.

We have a three-way tie.

One vote each.

Clive.

-Why Jan?

-I thought she got at least two wrong, probably three.

-She got more wrong than Peter.

-She got four wrong.

-I did say probably.

Peter.

-Why Clive?

-He had a cracking three or four rounds

but he's slipped from his high standards.

Jan. Why Peter?

I think he's beginning to hesitate a bit.

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

Clive, you're the strongest link, and you CAN change your mind.

Who do you want to get rid of?

I'm going to change my mind. Peter knows I wasn't the weakest link

so he's hoisted with his own petard. So Peter can go.

Peter, you and your petard

are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm disappointed being voted off on the next-to-last round but I understand why Clive did it.

I think he'll probably win. His general knowledge is strong.

Round eight. £2,130 in the kitty out of £7,000.

Clive and Jan, two of you left.

You have 90 seconds. Whatever you win in this round will be trebled. So £3,000 is at stake.
