Here are today's team of nine contestants preparing for the show. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:06 | |
Only one will go home | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
with prize money of up to £10,000. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
The others will leave with nothing as their team-mates vote them The Weakest Link. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:16 | |
Welcome to The Weakest Link. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
Any of the nine people in the studio here today could win up to £10,000. | 0:00:34 | 0:00:40 | |
They don't know each other. However, to win the prize money, they have to work as a team. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:45 | |
But eight of them will leave with nothing | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
as round by round we lose the player voted The Weakest Link. Let's meet the team. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:55 | |
I'm Hugh, a 51-year-old coach driver from Strathclyde. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:01 | |
I'm Jo. I'm 63, a retired secretary from Hertfordshire. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
I'm Barry. I'm 47, a local government officer from Bow, East London. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:12 | |
I'm Fred. I'm 34. I'm a warehouse operative from Worcester. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:18 | |
I'm Caroline, from Colchester, and I'm a 45-year-old full-time mum. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
I'm Darren. I'm 29. I'm a library assistant from Co Antrim. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |

The rules. The aim is to answer enough questions correctly to reach £1000 within the time limit. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:56 | |
The fastest way is to create a chain of nine correct answers. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:01 | |
Get a question wrong, you break the chain and lose the money in that chain. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:06 | |
If you bank before the question is asked, the money is safe | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
but you start a new chain from scratch. Remember, | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
only money that has been banked can be taken forward. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:19 | |
Round One. Three minutes on the clock. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:22 | |

You've reached and banked your £1000 target. That money will go through to the next round. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:49 | |
But one of you will NOT. Now, there was only one incorrect answer during that first round | 0:04:49 | 0:04:57 | |
but, remember, you'll have ten seconds less in the next round | 0:04:57 | 0:05:03 | |
so you still have to streamline the team. Who is just a bit worrying? | 0:05:03 | 0:05:08 | |
Who has the potential | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
to be too slow | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
to keep up? | 0:05:14 | 0:05:17 | |
One of you is about to leave. Time to vote off the weakest link. | 0:05:17 | 0:05:21 | |
Barry is the first strongest link. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
Only Fred answered a question incorrectly so he's the weakest link. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:31 | |
But will the voting follow the facts? | 0:05:31 | 0:05:34 | |
Voting over. It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
Hugh. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:02 | |
-Why Fred? -He was the only person to get one wrong. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
Quite a few people noticed that, didn't they? | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |

-You don't like him much. -No, I do like Fred. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
So why "Yuk"? | 0:06:26 | 0:06:27 | |
Cos it's a horrible thing to do to somebody this early on. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
He's unlucky to be the only one to get a question wrong. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:35 | |
-Never heard of batter, Fred? -I just had a mental block. -Not a good thing to have on this podium. | 0:06:35 | 0:06:42 | |
You are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |

I did bank half of the money that went into the bank at the end. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:02 | |
The Walk Of Shame wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:06 | |
I consciously didn't make eye contact with anyone. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
It was over a lot quicker than I thought it would be, as was my appearance on the show. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:16 | |

and that money will go through to the next round. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
But one of you will not. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:03 | |
You have ten seconds less in the next round, | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
so you still have to streamline the team. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:10 | |
Who, this time round, is not as fast as the others? | 0:10:10 | 0:10:16 | |
It's time to vote off the weakest link. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:20 | |

Jo, they've had enough of you. You are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:35 | |
Being voted off when I wasn't the weakest link | 0:11:42 | 0:11:46 | |

-Kim, you're a teacher. -I am. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:26 | |
What do you teach? | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
-Children. -What do you teach the children? | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
-Science, hopefully. -Oh. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
-Not general knowledge? -No. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:36 | |
Cos you're rubbish at questions that aren't about science. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
-That's been said before, yes. -Why Caroline? It was the milk of magnesia question. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:47 | |
Well, when the vote is tied, the strongest link | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
casts the deciding vote. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:52 | |
Darren, you actually voted for the person who, statistically, was the weakest link. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:59 | |
Only YOU noticed that, but your choice is Barry, Caroline or Kim? Who will you get rid of? | 0:16:59 | 0:17:06 | |
-I'm afraid it'll have to be Kim. -Why? | 0:17:06 | 0:17:10 | |
Um... | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
You don't like teachers? | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
No, both my sisters are teachers. I'm fond of teachers. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:19 | |
I think she was the weakest of the three. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
Kim, Darren's getting rid of you. You are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:28 | |
I was disappointed to get voted off at this early stage | 0:17:35 | 0:17:39 | |
because I had previously been the strongest. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:43 | |
I think Caroline will be next | 0:17:43 | 0:17:45 | |
because I feel that she is weaker than some of the other players. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:50 | |

How many full octaves... | 0:20:42 | 0:20:45 | |
Another disappointing round, given your start. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
You banked a paltry £200. Who really is dazed and confused? | 0:20:51 | 0:20:56 | |
Who has now lost the plot? | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
It's time to vote off the weakest link. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:01 | |
Darren is the strongest link for a second time. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:07 | |
The weakest is Pam who failed to answer any correctly, | 0:21:07 | 0:21:11 | |
but she did bank money for the team. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
But who will lose out in the vote? | 0:21:13 | 0:21:16 | |
Voting over. It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:23 | |
Hugh, you thought Nancy Reagan didn't want to be like Tammy Wynette, did you? | 0:21:39 | 0:21:45 | |
I did. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
-Why Pam? -I think she did slightly worse than I did. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:51 | |
She got one more wrong. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:53 | |
-Caroline, why Pam? -I think she got all her questions wrong. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:57 | |
She did, indeed. | 0:21:57 | 0:21:59 | |
Barry, why Pam? | 0:21:59 | 0:22:02 | |
She got all her questions wrong so she had to go, unfortunately. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:07 | |
Pam, are you taking retirement seriously? | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
-I am. -So you gave up on that last round, did you? | 0:22:10 | 0:22:14 | |
-I think I did. -You didn't get any right. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:17 | |
-No, I was busy banking. -Were you? Not good enough. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:21 | |
It's only £100. Did you think if you banked, you didn't have to get any right? | 0:22:21 | 0:22:26 | |
-Not really. -You are the weakest link, goodbye. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
I was the weakest in that round. I got all my questions wrong, so I deserved to be voted off. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:44 | |
But I do feel that Anne is not so much a pussy cat, | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
but more a black panther waiting to pounce. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:52 | |
Neil should be voted off next | 0:22:52 | 0:22:54 | |
as he's got a couple of questions wrong | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
in each of the previous three rounds. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:01 | |
Round Five, team, and you're a shadow of your former selves. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:08 | |
Having hit the jackpot in the first two rounds, | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
your total since then is only £320. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |

Eject the idiot. It's time to vote off the weakest link. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:13 | |
Darren is the strongest for the third time in a row. | 0:26:15 | 0:26:19 | |
The weakest is Barry, though he was the only one to bank. | 0:26:19 | 0:26:23 | |
Will it be enough to save him in the vote? | 0:26:23 | 0:26:26 | |
Voting over. It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:33 | |
We have a tie, team. Neil and Barry, two votes each. | 0:26:46 | 0:26:51 | |
-Neil, why Barry? -I'm still cross about Superman, so I didn't keep a careful eye | 0:26:51 | 0:26:56 | |
on what was happening, but I thought it was either Neil or Barry. | 0:26:56 | 0:27:01 | |
-Hugh, why Neil? -He's hesitated in the last two rounds and he did get a few wrong | 0:27:01 | 0:27:07 | |

Exactly. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:13 | |
Well, when the vote is tied, | 0:27:13 | 0:27:15 | |
the strongest link casts the deciding vote. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:18 | |
Darren, you voted for Barry, he WAS the weakest link and he voted for you, | 0:27:18 | 0:27:23 | |
but don't let me influence you. Who are you getting rid of? | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
I'll go with my original decision - Barry. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
Barry, an unwise choice, that. You are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:27:30 | 0:27:35 | |
I did well till the last round. I only had one question wrong up till then. What Anne said | 0:27:43 | 0:27:49 | |
may have influenced his vote. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
I think Neil will go next because he has hesitated | 0:27:52 | 0:27:55 | |
in the last few rounds, and the others are getting more confident. | 0:27:55 | 0:28:00 | |

-But you did trip up. You don't know who wrote Wuthering Heights. -I've never read it. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:44 | |
Why Neil? | 0:31:44 | 0:31:46 | |
I thought Neil was the weakest link. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:48 | |
I may be wrong, but he got more questions wrong than me. A capable player, | 0:31:48 | 0:31:54 | |
-but it's very hard at this stage. -We've had enough from you. Caroline, why Neil? | 0:31:54 | 0:31:59 | |
Because he got more questions wrong and he's hesitating a little bit. | 0:31:59 | 0:32:04 | |
But he wasn't the weakest link, Hugh. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
-Not if you say so, Anne. -They just don't notice you over there. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:11 | |
Why did you vote for Neil? | 0:32:11 | 0:32:13 | |
-Because he had a worse round than me. -No, he didn't. | 0:32:13 | 0:32:16 | |
Neil, | 0:32:16 | 0:32:18 | |
you weren't the weakest link, | 0:32:18 | 0:32:21 | |
but it would help if you'd known that Pennsylvania is a state, not a city. | 0:32:21 | 0:32:26 | |
With three votes, the team want rid of you. You are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:32:26 | 0:32:31 | |
I thought it was a good verdict and I had no complaints until I found I wasn't the weakest link. | 0:32:39 | 0:32:45 | |
I was surprised at the speed with which the questions come round, | 0:32:45 | 0:32:50 | |
particularly towards the final rounds. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:53 | |
I think Darren will win tonight. | 0:32:53 | 0:32:56 | |
I'm sure the others would say so, too. | 0:32:56 | 0:32:58 | |

You put in your kitty £120. In Round Eight, | 0:35:22 | 0:35:25 | |
you get the chance to treble what you bank which means, in the next round, | 0:35:25 | 0:35:30 | |

Hugh is the weakest for the second time in a row. | 0:35:47 | 0:35:51 | |
But, at this crucial stage, can he survive another vote? | 0:35:51 | 0:35:55 | |
Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link. | 0:35:57 | 0:36:01 | |
Darren, | 0:36:12 | 0:36:14 | |
you've only got three questions wrong. | 0:36:14 | 0:36:17 | |
For the benefit of your colleagues in Antrim, | 0:36:17 | 0:36:21 | |
I'd like to say two were on literature, | 0:36:21 | 0:36:23 | |
unless you don't regard the Brontes or Shakespeare as literature. | 0:36:23 | 0:36:28 | |
-I got a few literature questions right. -Not enough. | 0:36:28 | 0:36:32 | |
-Hmmm. -Why Hugh? | 0:36:32 | 0:36:34 | |
Hard to choose, | 0:36:34 | 0:36:36 | |
-but I think Hugh was... -More stupid? | 0:36:36 | 0:36:39 | |
No. Got more questions wrong. Let's be diplomatic about it. | 0:36:39 | 0:36:44 | |
Right. Oh, really? Caroline, | 0:36:44 | 0:36:46 | |
-why Hugh? -It was him or me. | 0:36:46 | 0:36:50 | |

Hugh... | 0:36:52 | 0:36:54 | |
what happened in that last round? | 0:36:54 | 0:36:57 | |
-I lost it altogether. -You weren't hiding your talent | 0:36:57 | 0:37:01 | |
by answering five of the six questions incorrectly? | 0:37:01 | 0:37:05 | |
No. I just got five wrong questions. | 0:37:05 | 0:37:08 | |
Right. It's cost you your place. You are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:37:08 | 0:37:13 | |
The question I could kick myself over is the Russian one. | 0:37:19 | 0:37:24 | |
I did study Russian history away back | 0:37:24 | 0:37:27 | |

Darren will win because he has been the strongest contestant throughout the whole game. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:38 | |
He's got very few questions wrong and has a wide knowledge of everything. | 0:37:38 | 0:37:44 | |

will be trebled and added to your total to make up your final prize money. | 0:37:57 | 0:38:02 | |
So, £3000 is at stake now. We start with the strongest link - Darren. Let's play The Weakest Link. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:10 | |

We'll treble that and add it to the winnings from the previous round. | 0:39:50 | 0:39:55 | |
That means prize money of £3010. | 0:39:55 | 0:39:59 | |
Only one of you can take the money away. | 0:39:59 | 0:40:01 | |
You will now play against each other. I'll ask alternate questions, best of five. | 0:40:01 | 0:40:07 | |
Whoever answers the most correctly wins. If there's a tie we go for sudden death until we get a winner. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:15 | |
So, Caroline and Darren, for £3010, let's play The Weakest Link. | 0:40:15 | 0:40:19 | |

When Caroline hesitated so long over her first question | 0:43:20 | 0:43:24 | |
I had an advantage, because I was one ahead. | 0:43:24 | 0:43:28 | |
I thought, "If I can keep plugging away, I'll do this." | 0:43:28 | 0:43:32 | |
The first question I knew. It was on the tip of my tongue. | 0:43:32 | 0:43:36 | |
I couldn't find it. But when Greek mythology came up, | 0:43:36 | 0:43:39 | |
I knew that was the end. | 0:43:39 | 0:43:41 | |
