Of the nine contestants in today's show,

0:00:020:00:05

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

0:00:050:00:09

The rest will leave with nothing,

0:00:090:00:11

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

0:00:110:00:16

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:290:00:31

Any of the nine people in the studio today

0:00:330:00:36

could win up to £10,000.

0:00:360:00:39

They don't know each other,

0:00:390:00:41

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

0:00:410:00:46

but eight will leave with nothing,

0:00:460:00:48

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

0:00:480:00:53

Let's meet the team.

0:00:530:00:55

I'm Lisa. I'm 38 from Rayleigh and I'm a housewife.

0:00:560:01:00

I'm Bill, I'm 63, I'm from Kirkcaldy and I'm a butcher.

0:01:010:01:05

I'm Helen, I'm 26, I live in Bedford and I'm a window dresser.

0:01:050:01:09

I'm Lesley, 50, from Chester and I'm an office manager.

0:01:100:01:14

I'm Niall, I'm 39, from Belfast and I'm a freelance IT consultant.

0:01:140:01:19

I'm Phill, 28, from Stratford-upon- Avon and I'm a nightclub manager.

0:01:190:01:25

I'm Veronica, I'm 65, I'm from Stoke Mandeville

0:01:260:01:30

and I'm a part-time voluntary helper.

0:01:300:01:32

I'm Cheryl, I'm 20 years old from Suffolk and I'm a geography student.

0:01:320:01:37

I'm John, I'm 52, I'm from Cheltenham

0:01:370:01:41

and I'm a retired tour operator.

0:01:410:01:44

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

0:01:450:01:50

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

0:01:500:01:54

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

0:01:540:01:58

Get your question wrong and you break the chain and lose the money.

0:01:580:02:03

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

0:02:030:02:09

however, you start a new chain from scratch.

0:02:090:02:12

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

0:02:120:02:18

In round one, there are three minutes on the clock.

0:05:300:05:33

0:05:350:05:39

In that round, team,

0:05:390:05:42

you've banked a very sad, depressing, embarrassing £350

0:05:420:05:48

when you could have won £1,000.

0:05:480:05:51

Who, already, is looking like a burden?

0:05:510:05:55

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:05:560:06:00

Cheryl is the strongest link, getting all her questions right and banking all the money.

0:06:020:06:08

The weakest link is Lisa but will the team realise that?

0:06:090:06:13

Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

0:06:150:06:20

-Yes, I have.

0:06:570:07:02

-It slipped my memory.

-I thought you were keeping it secret.

0:07:020:07:06

-Why Veronica?

-She cost us money, not banking when she should have.

0:07:060:07:11

Lisa...how's it going for you?

0:07:110:07:15

I had a bad start, but I haven't got the answers in front of me.

0:07:150:07:20

Did you think you would have?

0:07:210:07:23

-Why Veronica?

-I realise I got a question wrong, like her, but I thought she was hesitant.

0:07:250:07:32

-Did you think she was the weakest link?

-I did.

-Did you?

0:07:320:07:36

But she wasn't.

0:07:360:07:38

None of you have noticed that Lisa was the worst player statistically.

0:07:380:07:43

But it's votes that count.

0:07:430:07:47

Veronica's geography let her down.

0:07:470:07:50

With six votes, you ARE the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:07:500:07:54

I'm disappointed to be voted off first but at least I know I wasn't the weakest link.

0:08:010:08:07

Lisa may be next because she is lucky to be there. She was the weakest link.

0:08:070:08:13

Round two, team.

You put into the kitty £100.

Time to vote off the weakest link.

The weakest link is Phill, who answered no questions correctly.

0:11:540:11:58

0:11:580:12:03

-John, what do you do?

-I'm a retired tour operator.

0:12:290:12:34

And who is Marcus...Welling?

0:12:360:12:38

It was the last word I remember Niall saying

0:12:380:12:42

0:13:260:13:32

0:13:420:13:46

-He dithered far too long.

-Was he the weakest link?

-Probably not.

0:13:460:13:51

Statistically...Phill with the two Ls was the worst player but it's votes that count.

0:13:510:13:58

Bill the butcher can now gallop off.

0:13:580:14:03

With six votes, Bill, you ARE the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:14:030:14:07

I thought I would do much better and I'm devastated to be voted off.

0:14:140:14:19

The team were terrified of my superior knowledge!

0:14:190:14:23

I think Phill should be here next. He got three questions wrong and was the weakest link.

0:14:230:14:29

Round three. You've won £450 so far out of a possible 2,000.

0:18:280:18:33

and got a couple wrong.

0:18:330:18:35

And Cheryl, our geography scholar

0:18:350:18:39

who wants to work in television,

0:18:390:18:42

who doesn't know the Baltic from the Adriatic

0:18:420:18:46

and thinks there's a fish called an artichoke.

0:18:460:18:50

-How's it going, Niall?

-Very well, thanks, Anne.

0:19:030:19:07

Why Helen?

0:19:070:19:10

She was the weakest link this round and had a dodgy one before.

0:19:100:19:14

Helen, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:19:140:19:18

I'm not surprised I was voted off. I had a terrible round, rubbish.

0:19:250:19:30

I'd like to see John voted off. He's moody, unpredictable,

0:19:300:19:35

he's not getting on with other people or having as much fun.

0:19:350:19:39

Round four. So far, £700 banked out of a possible £3,000.

0:19:410:19:45

Six of you left, another ten seconds off the clock.

0:19:450:19:49

You now have 2½ minutes. We start with the strongest link Lisa.

Let's play The Weakest Link. Start the clock.

0:22:270:22:32

Who's skating on very thin ice? And throwing away everyone's money?

0:22:320:22:39

Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:22:390:22:42

As the only contestant to answer all questions correctly,

0:22:420:22:45

John is the strongest link.

0:22:450:22:48

Phill is the weakest link for the second time.

0:22:480:22:51

He got all his answers wrong. Will this be spotted by the team?

0:22:510:22:55

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

0:22:560:23:01

John, the retired tour operator.

0:23:140:23:18

-Why Phill?

-Because I think he had a bad round, that particular round.

0:23:180:23:24

-Niall!

-Anne!

0:23:240:23:28

With two Ls. You've given Phill four Ls.

0:23:280:23:31

Why's that?

0:23:310:23:33

Just got carried away.

0:23:330:23:35

Why've you voted for Phillll with four Ls?

0:23:350:23:39

He had the worst round there. Three wrong answers.

0:23:390:23:43

-How do you think you're doing?

-Good.

0:23:430:23:46

-There's no end to your confidence.

-Absolutely not.

0:23:460:23:51

Lesley! No ambitions to present Top Of The Pops, then?

0:23:510:23:55

Bit past that now, Anne.

0:23:550:23:57

-You don't know the difference between Aqua and A-ha.

-I do.

-Do you?

0:23:570:24:03

It seemed A-ha was the only pop group you'd heard of.

0:24:030:24:07

-Why Phill?

-Because he got three wrong.

0:24:070:24:12

-I do believe he was the weakest, even weaker than me.

-Just!

-Just.

0:24:120:24:18

-Or "A-ha" as you might say.

-Ah!

0:24:180:24:21

Phill with two Ls, or four Ls if you're Niall with two Ls,

0:24:210:24:26

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

0:24:260:24:30

I wasn't surprised I was voted off there. I got every question wrong.

0:24:360:24:41

It was a fair cop.

0:24:410:24:43

My 500 regular customers

0:24:430:24:46

will come to the bar to tell me I was the weakest link.

0:24:460:24:50

The team as a whole have performed atrociously, I feel.

0:24:500:24:54

The banking has gone out the window. All the tactics have disappeared.

0:24:540:24:58

It's a dog-eat-dog situation now.

0:24:580:25:02

Round five, team. Your total so far is £820.

0:25:030:25:07

If you'd stayed awake, it would be 4,000.

0:25:070:25:10

Five of you left. You've lost Phill with two Ls.

0:25:100:25:15

You have Cheryl, a geography genius who wants to go into television.

0:25:150:25:20

We hope she won't be a weathergirl.

0:25:200:25:22

She might have trouble with the maps!

0:25:220:25:25

Ten seconds off the time. We start with the strongest link John.

0:25:250:25:31

Let's play The Weakest Link. Start the clock.

0:27:560:28:02

Who do you no longer wish to have with you?

0:28:020:28:06

One of you is a waste of space. Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:28:060:28:11

He was the strongest link, but John is now statistically the weakest.

0:28:130:28:18

Lesley is now the strongest link but how will the team vote?

0:28:180:28:23

Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

0:28:250:28:29

Lesley, why John?

0:28:400:28:42

He's been very good in other rounds, but this time he let himself down.

0:28:420:28:47

The weakest link, I think.

0:28:470:28:50

Cheryl, that geography degree in Leicester.

0:28:500:28:54

It hasn't been in vain. You've heard of Hollywood, that's good.

0:28:560:29:00

And the capital of southern Ireland you know, don't you?

0:29:000:29:05

-Indeed.

-Your mother'll be very pleased.

0:29:050:29:09

-Why John?

-He was definitely the weakest link there. We did better.

0:29:090:29:13

Statistically, John was the weakest.

0:29:130:29:17

He thinks Graham Greene wrote a book with a character called Pinky

0:29:170:29:22

and the book was called Perky!

0:29:220:29:24

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

0:29:240:29:27

Being voted off was disappointing. I'd been the strongest link.

0:29:350:29:39

I think Cheryl will be here next,

0:29:390:29:43

because she answered artichoke instead of anchovy

0:29:430:29:46

and she's been a weak player and has slipped through the net and survived.

0:29:460:29:51

Round six, and of the £5,000 you could've won, you've banked £1,190.

0:29:520:29:57

There are four of you left. We've cut 10 seconds from your time.

0:29:570:30:02

We start with the strongest link, that's Lesley.

were figures in which 19th-century artistic movement?

0:32:160:32:20

Impressionist.

0:32:200:32:22

Time is up. The correct answer, but you were out of time,

0:32:220:32:28

is impressionism.

0:32:280:32:30

And we are very impressed.

0:32:300:32:32

You banked £270.

0:32:320:32:35

Whose mouth is in gear, but their brain has slipped to neutral?

0:32:350:32:42

Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:32:420:32:44

Niall is the strongest link for the second time.

0:32:450:32:49

Lisa is the weakest link, also for the second time.

0:32:490:32:53

But will the team remember?

0:32:530:32:55

Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

0:32:570:33:01

Niall, why Lisa?

0:33:110:33:14

There wasn't much between us but I think she got two wrong.

0:33:140:33:18

Cheryl, don't know about compasses?

0:33:180:33:21

I knew compass, but I was focusing on the question and repeated it.

0:33:210:33:27

Unfortunately.

0:33:270:33:29

-Are there many people teaching you at university?

-Yes.

0:33:290:33:35

Or have they all died of shame?

0:33:350:33:37

-So why Lisa?

-As Niall said, she definitely got two wrong.

0:33:370:33:43

We did quite well otherwise.

0:33:430:33:46

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

0:33:460:33:51

I came here to win, so I'm very disappointed.

0:33:570:34:01

It was tactical. I was the strongest link other rounds.

0:34:010:34:04

They wanted me out of the way.

0:34:040:34:07

Lesley should've been out. She got more questions wrong

0:34:070:34:12

but somehow the others didn't notice.

0:34:120:34:15

Round seven, and of the £6,000 you could have won, you've got £1,460.

0:34:170:34:22

In which country is the 1953...

0:36:330:36:36

Time is up. You've won £260.

0:36:360:36:39

In round eight, you get the chance to treble what you bank.

0:36:390:36:44

There's £3,000 to be won.

0:36:440:36:47

The question is, who is most likely to let you down?

0:36:470:36:53

Have the courage to vote off the weakest link.

0:36:530:36:56

Niall is again the strongest link.

0:36:580:37:01

With the most wrong answers, Cheryl is the weakest link.

0:37:010:37:05

At this crucial stage, whose game is over?

0:37:050:37:09

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

0:37:090:37:14

Niall, why Cheryl?

0:37:230:37:26

It was a very tight round, but I felt she was the weakest link.

0:37:260:37:30

Lesley, why are you getting rid of the other woman on the team?

0:37:310:37:37

If I didn't and got rid of Niall,

0:37:370:37:39

who did really well, you'd probably say I had something against men.

0:37:390:37:44

Just as well Cheryl's going.

0:37:440:37:46

Not much time to learn geography. It's her third year at university.

0:37:460:37:52

Cheryl, with two votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:37:520:37:57

I'm quite upset I didn't get to the final. It was a bit unfair

0:38:030:38:08

of Anne to keep on about my degree. She didn't pick on the others.

0:38:080:38:14

Lesley's looking much weaker than Niall, so I think Niall will win.

0:38:140:38:19

Round eight and of the £7,000 you could've won, you've got £1,720.

0:38:200:38:26

Lesley and Niall, two of you left. You have 90 seconds.

0:38:260:38:31

What you win in this round will be trebled and added to your total,

0:38:310:38:37

so £3,000 is at stake. We start with the last strongest link, Niall.

0:38:370:38:42

Let's play The Weakest Link. Start the clock.

0:40:200:40:24

That means prize money today of £2,260.

0:40:240:40:28

But only one of you can take that away,

0:40:280:40:32

so now you will play head-to-head.

0:40:320:40:35

I'll ask alternate questions, best of five.

0:40:350:40:39

Whoever answers most correctly wins.

0:40:390:40:41

If there's a tie we'll go for sudden death until we have a winner.

0:40:410:40:47

So, Lesley and Niall, for £2,260, let's play The Weakest Link.

0:40:470:40:52
