18/02/2013 Weakest Link

Of the nine contestants on today's show,

only one will take home up to £10,000.

The rest of the team will leave with nothing

as, one by one, they are voted off as the weakest link.

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

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

They don't know each other.

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

Eight of them leave with nothing

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

Let's meet the team.

I'm 50, I'm from Camden and I'm a freelance teacher.

I'm 29, I'm from Bampton in Cumbria and I'm a translator.

I'm 43, I'm from Castleford in West Yorkshire and I'm a stock audit manager.

I'm 52, I live in Burnley and I work in marketing.

I'm 28. I'm from Ipswich, where I'm a coffee shop supervisor.

I'm 30. I'm from Johnstone in Renfrewshire and I'm a police officer.

I'm 19, I'm from Birmingham and I'm a Maths and Economics student.

I'm 40 years old. I'm from Cambridgeshire, where I'm an admin assistant.

I'm 36, I'm from Swansea and I'm a systems manager.

In each round, the aim is to answer enough questions correctly

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

The fastest way is to create

a chain of nine correct answers.

Get one wrong and you break the chain and lose money.

If you say "Bank" before the question,

the money is safe.

But you start a new chain from scratch.

At the end of a round, only money that has been banked

can be carried forward.

In Round One there are three minutes on the clock.

We start with the first name alphabetically.

That's you, Alison.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

What a great performance(!)

Rarely has it been seen on The Weakest Link.

Out of the possible

£1,000 you could have won,

you managed to win an embarrassing,

pathetic

£150.

It might be hard for you to decide, but

who was last in line when the brains were handed out?

Whose performance was as flat as a pancake?

Who leaves with nothing?

Vote off the weakest link.

Alison is the first strongest link,

with the most correct answers.

The weakest link statistically is Diane,

but who have the team had enough of?

Voting over.

Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

Dan.

-What do you do?

-I'm supervisor in a coffee shop.

Does that involve cash

and checking on the till?

Yes, I do handle cash in the line of my work.

Do you? In the line of your work?

-Where did you learn to talk like that?

-I'm an Essex boy trying to be posh.

So you can't tell a third from three eighths?

-We've moved on from the old money. We're using decimal now.

-Is that your excuse?

It's the only one I have for now.

-Why Mick?

-I think he was banking too soon.

It would have been nice to build up a little bit more money.

Good heavens.

-I did.

-How many?

-Two.

-Two As.

-Yeah.

And you, Atul, with two As at A-level,

a Maths and Economics student, think that apple is a meat.

That's comforting(!)

-Why Mick?

-Never trust a man with a beard.

Well, I'd certainly never trust a man

doing Maths and Economics to go shopping.

Mick wasn't the weakest link statistically, was he, Diane?

I don't know.

Want to guess who was?

-Probably me.

-No "probably".

You think, in Jack And The Beanstalk, the giant said "Beans", not "Fee-fi-fo-fum".

Why Mick?

Erm...I had to vote for somebody and I don't like mustard shirts.

OK.

Well, this is interesting, team.

You win just £150 in the first round.

The next thing you do is vote off

one of the few people who had all correct answers.

Mick, who got nothing wrong, but has a moustache, a beard and a mustard shirt,

with six votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I can't say on national TV what I really think of six of those people.

They'll win 30 bob and a conker. That's all they deserve.

-It is.

Why Colin?

It was the question on Yogi Bear.

When he said Yellowstone instead of Jellystone.

Colin, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

If there's any justice, Diane should go next.

She has been lucky up until this point in time.

And it's just a matter of when her luck will...run out.

The whole thing. It's a whole lot of fun.

If you feel like some come to one of my evenings.

Why Diane?

I couldn't remember if she even got one question right in that round.

So she was the weakest link.

She wasn't the weakest link statistically, was she, Anne?

Why Diane?

Coupled with other two rounds

she was the weakest link.

Well, you were the worst player in that round.

But...

for a SPECTACULAR overall performance

we have Diane, who's managed to answer not a single question correctly since she got here.

I think it's fair to say, Diane, with four votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I deserved to come off, but I wasn't the weakest link.

And I banked some money.

I think next to go will be Atul. He's very young.

Or Anne - the weakest link in the round I went in.

Round Four, team.

You've banked £320 so far, out of potential prize money of £3,000.

Six of you left.

Ten seconds are coming off the clock. You have 2½ minutes.

The weakest link is Alistair, as he gave the fewest right answers.

But who will lose out in the voting?

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

Alison, why Atul?

-I'm a police officer.

Not any more.

-They will.

-Has Atul upset you?

-No, he hasn't.

In that round it was between him and Alistair.

Alistair banked money, so Atul had to go.

Alistair

was the weakest link statistically, but the fact is that ATUL

rather like that modern Indian dancing,

his performance was sporadic, random.

With five votes you are the weakest link.

Goodbye.

I feel very annoyed to be voted off now.

I was not the weakest link.

Alistair should be here instead of me.

He's not up to my standard.

Round Five. Your total so far is £590.

Five of you left.

Ten seconds off the time.

-I don't think he got a question right.

Oh, dear(!)

-And you're a sergeant?

-I am.

Pity you can't count.

Also, Lynne, another statistic for you.

It'll be hard to take it in. You are the worst.

-I knew that.

-It's votes that count.

Be it the sweater or the man.

Alistair, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I felt the wrong decision had been made.

It shouldn't have been me. I wasn't the weakest link.

Lynne will probably be off next. She is fading and her knowledge is seeping out.

Round Six.

You've won £780.

in that particular round.

-None.

You've got better(!)

Well, Alison, who lives in Burnley...

and comes from Liverpool...

and thinks the rose of Lancaster is white.

You are the weakest link.

Goodbye.

I'm really mad at myself.

I didn't get a question right and deserved it.

I can't complain. I think and hope Dan'll win

because he's a coffee shop manager.

Everybody knows I love my coffee.

He's got a lilac shirt on and that's my favourite colour.

Round Seven.

You've won £940 out of a possible £6,000.

There are three of you left.

Another 10 seconds coming off the clock.

you get the chance to treble what you bank, which means there is £3,000 to be won.

The question is who should you hang on to?

Have the courage to vote off the weakest link.

Dan is the strongest link for the second round in a row.

The weakest link is Lynne, although she did bank money for the team.

Will that be enough to save her in this crucial final vote?

Voting over.

Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

Dan, why Anne?

I just felt she got more questions wrong.

Lynne's been one of the best players and deserves a chance in the final.

-Lynne, why Anne?

-In that round, between Dan and Anne,

I would say Anne was the weaker player.

And she has been throughout between the two.

In that round, Sergeant Lynne,

-who was the worst player?

-Me. Definitely.
