0:35:18 > 0:35:20Which man's name
0:35:20 > 0:35:22links a 1966 film starring Michael Caine
0:35:22 > 0:35:26and the film's title song, which was a hit for Cilla Black?
0:35:26 > 0:35:27Alfie.
0:35:27 > 0:35:29In language,
0:35:29 > 0:35:33Lundi is the French word for which day of the week?
0:35:33 > 0:35:35Wednesday. Monday.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37In fashion,
0:35:37 > 0:35:43a cap worn by a bride is known by the name of which young Shakespearian heroine?
0:35:45 > 0:35:46Time's up.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49The answer was Juliet.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56You won ?140. In Round Eight, you get the chance to treble what you banked,
0:35:56 > 0:36:00so potentially, there's ?3,000 to be won.
0:36:00 > 0:36:03The question is, who do you get rid of and hang on to?
0:36:03 > 0:36:07It's time to vote off the weakest link.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12The statistics show Hazel is the strongest link.
0:36:12 > 0:36:16But Jools has gone from being the strongest link in the last round
0:36:16 > 0:36:19to the weakest link in this,
0:36:19 > 0:36:21as he gave the most incorrect answers.
0:36:21 > 0:36:26But will his previous strong performance save him from this final vote?
0:36:27 > 0:36:32Voting over. It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.
0:36:45 > 0:36:46Sue!
0:36:46 > 0:36:48Hazel was the strongest link there.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50Why vote her off?
0:36:50 > 0:36:55I only remembered her getting one right, and not having anything to bank
0:36:55 > 0:36:57when it was getting to me.
0:36:57 > 0:36:58Jools, statistically,
0:36:58 > 0:37:01you were the worst player in that round.
0:37:02 > 0:37:04And Hazel was the best.
0:37:04 > 0:37:06Why are you voting her off?
0:37:06 > 0:37:11At this stage, with the amount we're banking, we could be doing better.
0:37:11 > 0:37:15And I don't feel that Hazel is an attribute because of one good round.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19I can't argue with that. Statistically, throughout,
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Hazel is the weakest of you three,
0:37:21 > 0:37:26although in that round she was statistically the strongest.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28So, Hazel, with two votes,
0:37:29 > 0:37:32you can show us your figure.
0:37:33 > 0:37:34And your F cups,
0:37:34 > 0:37:36and wobble off.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38You are the weakest link. Goodbye.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51I feel very deflated. There you are.
0:37:51 > 0:37:53They're not my bosom pals.
0:37:53 > 0:37:55I would like to see Sue win today
0:37:55 > 0:37:59because she is the most intelligent and she does a caring job.
0:38:01 > 0:38:02Round Eight. So far,
0:38:02 > 0:38:03you've banked...
0:38:06 > 0:38:07out of a possible ?7,000.
0:38:07 > 0:38:11You're down to two players. You have only 90 seconds,
0:38:11 > 0:38:15but whatever you win in this round is trebled, so ?3,000 is up for grabs.
0:38:15 > 0:38:19You voted off the strongest link from the last round
0:38:19 > 0:38:22so we'll start with the second strongest - Sue.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:39:50 > 0:39:56In May 2000, which former Ready Steady Cook presenter married chef Phil Vickery?
0:39:59 > 0:40:02The right answer, not on the tip of your tongue,
0:40:02 > 0:40:05was Fern Britten.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07And you managed just ?80.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09Disappointing.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13But we'll treble it and add it to earlier winnings.
