18/06/2012 Weakest Link

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

Only one will go home with the prize money of up to £10,000.

The others will leave with nothing as their teammates vote them 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, however, if they want the prize money, they must work as a team.

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

Let's meet the team.

I'm Euan. I'm 36-years-old. I come from Ayr and I'm a hospitality manager.

I'm Jackie. I'm 37. I come from Bury St Edmunds.

I'm a part-time care assistant and a full-time mum.

I'm Audrey. I'm 47. I'm a road safety officer from Dudley in the West Midlands.

I'm John. I'm 24-years-old. I'm a heating engineer from Redhouse in Sunderland.

I'm Alan from Bolton in Lancashire. I'm 63, and I'm a county cricket scorer.

I'm Caroline. I'm 26, and I'm an actor and drama teacher from Derby.

I'm Richard. I'm 49. A ports man from Keighley in West Yorkshire.

I'm Kate. I'm 67. A guest speaker from Poole in Dorset.

I'm Ken. I'm 53. I'm a specialist retailer and I live in London.

Now the rules.

Each round, your aim is to get enough right answers

to reach your £1000 target within the time limit.

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

A wrong answer breaks the chain

and you lose all the money in that chain.

But if you bank the money before the question, it is safe,

but a new chain starts from scratch.

At the end of the round, ONLY money that has been banked can be taken forward.

Round One is for three minutes.

We'll start with whoever's name is first alphabetically,

that's you Alan. Let's play The Weakest Link.

At the end of the first round, Kate is the strongest link,

as she got all her questions right and banked money.

Richard is the weakest link with two questions wrong.

But this early on, how will the voting go?

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

Ken, why Alan?

I think several people got questions wrong in the round,

-but Alan's who I remember.

-You don't have a memory?

Not today.

Statistically, he was by no means the weakest link, was he, Richard?

-It was me. I got two questions wrong.

-Yes.

-And I've survived.

-Yes.

-We'll see how long for.

-As long as it takes.

-Not a brilliant round, Alan.

-Afraid not, but I only got one wrong.

It'll be the only one. With four votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Disappointing. I didn't want to go out first round.

I thought I'd survive with one wrong. But that's the game.

I should've got the hay fever one right.

You think, 'Do I say no or think about it and get voted off for wasting time?'

Round Two.

You've won £550 so far out of a possible £1000.

Eight of you left.

We are now taking ten seconds off the clock.

We start with last round's strongest link, Kate. Let's play The Weakest Link.

you only won £470 of the possible £1000.

Whose time is up? Whose knowledge

is best suited to watching TV, not appearing on it?

Someone will now leave. It's time to vote off the weakest link.

In a reversal of fortune, Kate is now the weakest link.

John is the strongest link,

as he got all his questions right and banked the most money.

But who will lose out in the vote?

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

Audrey, why Kate?

She got two questions wrong at the beginning.

Right. How's it going for you, John?

Canny.

Why Kate?

She's a lovely lass but she got a few questions wrong,

and to be honest, I can't look at that dress for much longer.

-I feel a bit queasy.

-OK.

Kate, the dress and your arithmetic seem to have let you down.

Kate, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm livid, because I'm a very bad loser

especially as I was the strongest link

at the first part of the game.

Being the strongest link went to my head.

Oh, when John said about my dress, I was really upset.

I was the brightest one there in every sense.

Round Three. You could have £2000 by now.

In fact, you have in the bank £1020.

You are down to seven players.

You've got rid of anyone called Alan, and anyone

in a noisy orange dress.

There's ten seconds less. We'll start with last round's strongest link, John.

You scraped together £500 in that round. Not brilliant.

What you need to do is dump the dunce, ditch the dope, heave the hopeless.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

As the only one to answer all his questions correctly, John is the strongest link.

The weakest link is Richard

but will the team have picked up on this?

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

Euan? Why Richard?

-Richard's a nice man, but he was a little bit dafter than me.

-Right.

Caroline, why Richard?

Nothing personal. We all lost a question, but he lost two.

Actually, not everyone lost a question, did they, John?

-I didn't.

-Very pleased with yourself, aren't you?

-Too right.

What's Richard done to upset you? Don't you like his shirt?

It's fine. Trousers a bit suspect, maybe...

-He got a few more questions wrong than the rest.

-He lost a lot of money.

-A couple of hundred, I think.

-Yeah. Richard,

-how do you think you did?

-I made a right pig's ear of it.

Right. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Bye bye, everybody.

I did pretty well, but the third round was appalling.

The worst was the question on the cello. I knew the answer

and I just couldn't say it.

It just would not come out.

Jackie'll be voted off next. She's nervous, pausing and wasting time.

Round four.

£1520 banked so far

out of potential prize money of £3000.

There are six left. We'll take ten seconds off the clock.

You have two and a half minutes. We start with the strongest link, John.

Who's now costing you money? It's time to vote off the weakest link.

For the first time, Euan is the strongest link.

Jackie is the weakest link, but will the voting reflect this?

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

Ken...

-don't know much about Greek mythology, do you?

-Not much.

No. Why Audrey?

She got a couple of questions wrong.

-Not particularly.

Why did you vote for her?

She got more than one wrong.

-It's all I remember.

-Know anyone else who got more than one wrong?

I got one wrong and I passed.

-That's what we call two wrong. Got the hang of that?

-Yes, thank you.

Well, in fact, Audrey,

statistically you weren't the worst player.

Statistically, the worst player

was the person who thinks that if you pass it's OK.

That was you, Jackie. But, Audrey, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Good luck.

I wasn't the weakest link but maybe I deserved it.

I got two questions wrong.

People are playing as a team so far. They've tried to vote off the weakest link.

Whether it'll continue I don't know.

Tactics change when there's just two or three.

Round five.

Your total so far is £1910.

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

Another ten seconds coming off the time.

We start with the strongest link, Euan.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

a pathetic, embarrassing, £70.

Who is well past their best?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Having survived the last vote Jackie is the weakest link.

She answered everything incorrectly.

For the third time, John is the strongest link,

but who will lose out this time?

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

Euan, why Jackie?

I think that time we were quite close, but I do think she was a bit dafter than I was.

Not much, but a bit. How are you doing, John?

-Not too well that round.

-You're quite dodgy when it comes to the '60s.

I wasn't born then, was I? Unlike yourself.

I don't claim history as my specialist subject. What's Jackie done to upset you?

She's done nothing to upset us.

-We all had a bad round, but she got a couple more wrong.

-You don't mind her pink outfit?

I think she looks a lot smarter than you.

-It's not done anything for her. Where do you live?

-Suffolk.

You left for there in the last round. You didn't get one question right. You are the weakest link.

-Goodbye.

-Goodbye.

I'm not surprised at being voted off. I expected to. My mind went blank.

I think it just the pressure. I couldn't wait to get out.

The way John criticised Anne's outfit was brave

and I'd like to see what happens next round.

Round six.

You've won £1980 so far

out of a possible £5000.

There are four left, including John

who doesn't like questions about anything before he was born.

Time is up. That was the correct answer. Not that it did you much good.

In that round, you banked an amazingly embarrassing £20.

Who seriously is too dazed

and confused to be here now?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Once again, John is the strongest link.

The weakest link is Euan, who answered all of his questions incorrectly.

But will the voting follow the facts?

Voting over. Time to reveal

who you think is the weakest link.

Right, team. We have a four-way tie.

John, Ken, Euan and Caroline,

one vote each.

Ken, why Euan?

Because he got most of his questions wrong.

He got all of them wrong.

-Someone else got most of their questions wrong.

-I did.

-Right.

Caroline, why Ken?

I think he passed on most of the questions.

I know I didn't get them right, but I had a go and I did get one right.

-John, what did Caroline do to upset you?

-Nothing,

it was between Ken and Caroline.

-That was my choice and I think she got one more wrong.

-Right. Well team,

let me tell you that when the vote is tied,

the strongest link has to cast

the deciding vote.

The strongest link was you, John.

You must decide whether to get rid of Euan, Ken or Caroline.

You don't have to be fair. I know you have

strong views on the way people dress, including me.

Who do you want to get rid of?

Well, I voted for Caroline, but Euan, that's shocking.

Get away. You're off.

-Euan, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

-Goodbye.

I'm thrilled with my performance. One thing I can go home now,

no embarrassment, head up and say, "I got past Round One."

The team has played very well. We've got on well together.

But I think, under John's humour and his veneer,

there is a ruthless Geordie at heart

and I'm sure he'll come through and win.

Round Seven.

You've scraped together £2000

out of a possible £6000 you could have won.

Three of you left. 10 seconds off the clock.

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

Start the clock.

John...

Time is up.

You put just £20

in the bank in that last round.

Now, in Round Eight,

you can treble what you bank,

assuming you bank anything. That means in the next round,

there is £3000 to be won.

Who has seriously lost the plot? Time to vote off the weakest link.

For the first time, Caroline is the strongest link.

In a dramatic reversal of fortune, John is now the weakest link.

Will his earlier good form save him at this crucial stage?

Voting over. Time to reveal

who you think is the weakest link.

Caroline, why John?

I think he had a very bad round. He got some very difficult questions

but I think he did lose us some money.

Ken, why John?

John's been brilliant all the way through

-but that round let him down and I can't vote for myself.

-You're also getting rid

-of the worst opposition, aren't you?

-That could be said.

That could be said. It IS being said, Ken. That's what's happened.

John, how do you think you did?

-Rubbish.

-Rubbish, right.

-What's your job?

-Heating engineer.

Better go back to Sunderland and warm it up. With two votes, you are the weakest link, goodbye.

Goodbye.

I'm not too disappointed.

My aim was not to get knocked out in the first round.

I didn't want to feel like a pudding back home.

But, saying that, getting so close to the final, I am disappointed.

I think Ken will win it. He's slightly stronger.

He's older than Caroline and more general knowledge.

Round Eight.

You've won £2020 so far,

out of a possible £7000. Caroline and Ken,

just the two of you left. You have 90 seconds.

But whatever you win in this round will be trebled

and added to your total to make up final prize money.

£3000 is at stake in this round. We'll start with the strongest link, Caroline.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Start the clock. Caroline,

Time is up.

You've managed to bank

£170 between you.

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

That means prize money today of £2530.

But of course, only one can take that money away.

You now play each other,

head-to-head. I'll ask five alternate questions.

Whoever answers most correctly wins. It's that simple.

If there's a tie, we play sudden death until we have a winner.

So, Caroline and Ken,

for £2530, let's play The Weakest Link.

Caroline, as the strongest link, you choose who goes first.

I'll go first.

Caroline,

which James Bond actor

made his stage debut in 1976

in the play, Wait Until Dark?

Pierce Brosnan.

Ken,

in the American TV series, The Dukes of Hazzard,

what was the name of the Duke boys' car?

Rocket.

The correct answer is The General Lee.

Caroline,

which famous Labour politician

was a member of a pop band

called Ugly Rumours?

Tony Blair.

Ken,

the sonnet by American poet, Emma Lazarus,

containing the words,

"Give me your tired, your poor",

is inscribed beneath which US monument?

Statue of Liberty.

Caroline,

Bethlehem is a town

in which country of the UK?

Dorset.

The correct answer is Wales.

Ken, to pull level,

on which English banknote

does the railway engineer, George Stephenson, appear?

The £20 note.

The correct answer is the £5 note.

Caroline,

who became Rear-Admiral Chief Commandant for Women

in the Royal Navy, in July 1974?

Princess Anne.

Ken, you need to answer

this question correctly to remain in the game.

Ken,

in film, who played Cool Hand Luke

in the 1967 prison movie of the same name?

Clint Eastwood.

The correct answer is Paul Newman.

That means Caroline,

you are today's strongest link

and you go away with £2530.

Ken, you leave with nothing.

Join us again for The Weakest Link. Goodbye.

The hardest thing is listening to the questions.

When you're nervous,

it's easy to get quite deaf to what's being asked.

I'm upset about getting this close to winning

but I'm surprised I made it this far.

I feel amazed that I've won.

I really never expected I would.

But it's lovely to win.
