Nine contestants are preparing for the show,

0:00:030:00:06

but only one will win prize money of up to ?10,000.

0:00:060:00:09

The rest will leave with nothing as one by one they're voted off as the weakest link.

0:00:090:00:16

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:300:00:32

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

0:00:330:00:38

They don't know each other.

0:00:380:00:40

However, if they want the money, they'll have to work as a team.

0:00:400:00:45

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

0:00:450:00:51

Let's meet the team.

0:00:510:00:52

I'm James. I'm 37. I'm from Devon and I'm a recruitment consultant.

0:00:540:00:59

I'm Leona. I'm 24. I'm from Magherafelt, Northern Ireland.

0:01:010:01:05

I'm a PhD student.

0:01:050:01:07

My name's Richard. I'm 36.

0:01:080:01:10

I'm from Grimsby and I'm an air-traffic controller.

0:01:100:01:14

My name is Navindh. I am 26.

Now, the rules. The aim is to answer enough questions

0:01:470:01:51

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

0:01:510:01:55

The fastest way is a chain of nine correct answers.

0:01:550:01:59

Get a question wrong, you lose the money in the chain. If you say "bank"

0:01:590:02:05

before the question is asked the money is safe. However, you then start a new chain.

0:02:050:02:11

At the end of the round only banked money can be taken forward.

0:02:110:02:16

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

0:02:160:02:20

We'll start with the person who is first alphabetically.

0:02:200:02:24

That's you, Andrew.

Time's up. Japan was the correct answer. In that first round, you banked ?750.

0:05:350:05:40

But who have you already decided is unsuitable for the rounds to come?

0:05:400:05:46

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:05:460:05:49

The first strongest link is Navindh.

0:05:520:05:54

Statistically, the weakest link is Sandra.

0:05:540:05:57

Who will the players vote off at this early stage?

0:05:570:06:00

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

0:06:010:06:06

We have a tie, team. Sandra and Jayne,

0:06:280:06:31

four votes each.

0:06:310:06:33

Richard, what do you do? Air-traffic control.

0:06:330:06:36

0:06:360:06:41

Explain what you do. There are blips on the screen and I tell them to miss each other.

It was a choice of two.

0:06:520:06:55

I just flipped a coin in my head. Do you get any more interesting?

No, no, no. James.

A recruitment officer. Consultant.

0:07:020:07:05

What's the difference?

0:07:050:07:07

A recruitment officer works inside a company. I work for a consultancy.

0:07:070:07:12

A recruitment officer will ask me to find someone.

0:07:120:07:16

Would you hire Sandra?

0:07:160:07:17

If the right job came up.

0:07:170:07:19

Why are you voting her off?

0:07:190:07:22

She was unlucky at the end. She got a question wrong when we were poised for ?1,000.

0:07:220:07:28

Malcolm, you teach Chemistry? Yes.

0:07:280:07:31

How long have you been doing it? 25 years.

0:07:390:07:46

Do you have a nickname? It used to be Chrome Dome but that got boring. Now it's Charlie.

0:07:460:07:52

Why Charlie? Because my surname is Charles.

0:07:520:07:55

Oh, OK. Why Jayne?

0:07:550:07:57

We lost momentum with the first wrong answer.

0:07:570:08:01

Jayne gave the first wrong answer.

0:08:010:08:04

June, the retired midwife, why Jayne?

0:08:040:08:06

We all had a good round.

0:08:060:08:08

Unfortunately, I remembered her getting one wrong.

0:08:080:08:12

When the votes are tied, the strongest link decides.

0:08:120:08:16

The strongest link in the first round was Navindh.

0:08:160:08:20

Did you come in your rickshaw? No, I didn't.

Did you go to university? I did.

0:08:240:08:27

0:08:270:08:31

And that's how you ended up riding a rickshaw?

0:08:320:08:35

Why Jayne? Unfortunately, she is the one I remember getting the first question wrong.

0:08:350:08:41

You have a choice between Jayne and Sandra. I'd like to change it to Sandra.

0:08:410:08:47

Fair enough. Sandra - most unwise.

0:08:470:08:49

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:08:490:08:52

Before I came here, the worst thing that could happen was to be voted off the first round.

0:08:590:09:05

I'm absolutely devastated.

0:09:050:09:07

Jayne will go next. I missed that she got one wrong.

0:09:070:09:11

If I had, she would have gone that round.

0:09:110:09:14

Round Two and so far you have won ?750. Eight players.

0:09:150:09:19

We are taking ten seconds off your time.

0:09:190:09:22

We start with the strongest link. Navindh.

Andrew, I hope Woodbridge police send a car for you. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:18:390:18:44

Historically, police officers haven't been that successful.

0:18:520:18:56

The other contestants get their own back.

0:18:560:19:00

I think James will be booted off next round.

0:19:000:19:03

The questions are getting more difficult. I think he'll struggle.

0:19:030:19:08

Round Four. ?1,250 you've won so far. Down to six players.

0:19:090:19:14

Another ten seconds off the time.

0:21:570:21:59

Somebody is not as bright as the rest of you. I suggest

0:22:010:22:05

you choose the loser and lose the loser.

0:22:050:22:08

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:22:080:22:11

In a reversal of fortune, James is now the strongest link and Richard is the weakest.

0:22:140:22:20

Whose game is over?

0:22:200:22:21

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

What do you know if you get a first?

You know how to answer the questions in the exams, and write the essays.

0:23:040:23:08

What use is that?

0:23:080:23:10

A lot. Knowing how to please people, give them what they want.

0:23:100:23:15

Oh. Why Richard?

0:23:150:23:17

Because I remember him getting a couple of questions wrong.

0:23:170:23:21

Jayne, do you get paid every week?

0:23:210:23:24

No, I get paid every month.

0:23:240:23:26

Does everybody who comes to see you get paid?

0:23:260:23:30

People don't come and see me. I work in an office.

0:23:300:23:33

But you decide people's benefits? Yes, I do.

0:23:330:23:36

Do you like making people's life a misery? Um, not really. No.

0:23:360:23:40

Why Richard? He got two questions wrong.

0:23:420:23:45

Richard, as you can see, you've been cleared for takeoff.

0:23:450:23:49

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:23:490:23:52

What a muppet. I thought I was cleverer than that.

0:23:570:24:01

Obviously not, on this game.

0:24:010:24:03

My mates will laugh.

0:24:030:24:04

0:24:040:24:07

Now I'll have to pay.

0:24:070:24:09

0:24:120:24:13

You only banked ?70, having got rid of so many allegedly weaker links.

0:26:500:26:55

Who in this team that is left is trying your patience?

0:26:550:26:59

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:26:590:27:03

James remains the strongest link.

0:27:050:27:08

Statistically, Navindh is the weakest link.

0:27:080:27:12

Will the votes reflect the facts?

0:27:120:27:14

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

0:27:150:27:20

James, what did you do before you were a recruitment consultant?

0:27:310:27:36

I was in the army, Anne. As a captain.

0:27:360:27:40

Why did you leave?

0:27:400:27:41

I left because I decided I wanted to do something a bit different.

0:27:410:27:46

And I wanted to get married,

0:27:460:27:48

and not many people would marry an army officer.

0:27:480:27:51

Why Jayne? I don't remember having much money to bank.

0:27:510:27:55

Was she the weakest link?

0:27:550:27:57

Um... I'm not sure. No-one did particularly well.

0:28:170:28:21

No, but I couldn't think of another famous Douglas.

0:28:210:28:25

Why Jayne? Because I remember her getting a couple of questions wrong.

0:28:250:28:30

She's no longer benefiting the team, is she?!

0:28:300:28:34

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

0:28:340:28:38

The team isn't using any tactics.

0:28:420:28:44

They are trying their luck and muddling through.

0:28:440:28:47

They'll be lucky to get up to ?3,000.

0:28:470:28:50

I'd like to see Leona go next.

0:28:500:28:52

She's voted for me a few times.

0:28:520:28:54

She's been lucky like me. It's time for her to go.

0:28:540:28:58

Round Six, team.

0:28:590:29:01

Out of a possible ?5,000,

0:29:010:29:03

0:31:280:31:30

And you've banked ?300,

0:31:300:31:32

which is sad,

0:31:320:31:33

because you answered nine questions correctly in a row.

0:31:330:31:39

You could have hit the target.

0:31:390:31:41

Whose fault is it that you didn't?

0:31:410:31:44

Who left their brain on the train?

0:31:440:31:46

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:31:460:31:49

The statistics show that Malcolm is the strongest link.

0:31:520:31:55

James is the weakest link.

0:31:550:31:57

Can his previous good performance save him?

0:31:570:32:01

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

0:32:010:32:06

Malcolm, why are you getting rid of Leona

0:32:180:32:21

who you've voted for twice?

0:32:210:32:23

I'm jealous of anyone who can actually see their navel!

0:32:230:32:27

So, Leona, who can easily see hers, should contemplate it!

0:32:270:32:31

Don't you think she might have known the answer?

0:32:310:32:34

Perhaps.

0:32:340:32:36

Navindh, why Leona? She got the most questions wrong in that round.

0:32:360:32:41

She didn't, actually.

0:32:410:32:43

Statistically, the worst player was old Captain here.

0:32:430:32:47

But it's votes that count.

0:32:470:32:49

Leona, who has a first in geography,

0:32:490:32:52

I hope you can negotiate your way down the walk of shame.

0:32:520:32:55

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:32:550:32:58

I'm devastated. I wasn't the weakest link.

0:33:030:33:06

I was the only woman left.

0:33:060:33:08

I'd say the men were being chauvinist and ganging up on me.

0:33:080:33:12

I'd like to see Malcolm go next.

0:33:120:33:15

He voted for me when I wasn't the weakest link.

0:35:500:35:54

In Round Eight you get the chance to treble what you bank.

0:35:540:35:59

Potentially, there is ?3,000 to be won.

0:35:590:36:03

Who will you hang on to? Who are you going to get rid of?

0:36:030:36:06

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:36:060:36:10

At this crucial stage in the game,

0:36:110:36:13

Malcolm is the strongest link.

0:36:130:36:15

Statistically, James remains the weakest link.

0:36:150:36:19

Who will survive the final vote?

0:36:190:36:22

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

0:36:230:36:28

We have a tie. Malcolm, James and Navindh.

0:36:370:36:40

One vote each.

0:36:400:36:42

Malcolm. Why Navindh?

0:36:430:36:45

I think he is the weaker player.

0:36:450:36:47

Navindh. Why James?

0:36:470:36:50

We all got one wrong, and I haven't voted for James so far,

0:36:500:36:54

so just to be fair!

0:36:540:36:56

James. Why Malcolm?

0:36:560:36:58

He's been fantastic all game,

0:36:590:37:02

and I fancied my chances against Navindh rather than him in a one-to-one.

0:37:020:37:07

As the strongest link,

0:37:070:37:08

and considering the voting around you, who would you like to get rid of? Navindh?

0:37:080:37:15

Or James who thinks you're too much of a rival?

0:37:150:37:18

I'm changing my mind and voting for James.

0:37:180:37:22

Captain James, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:37:220:37:26

Gutted to get taken off at this stage.

0:37:320:37:35

I thought my tactics were right, but I got found out.

0:37:350:37:39

I hope Malcolm will win.

0:37:390:37:40

He's been the best player consistently throughout the game.

0:37:400:37:45

He deserves it.

0:37:450:37:46

Round Eight.

0:37:480:37:49

0:37:490:37:51

Two of you left.

0:37:510:37:52
