19/10/2012 Weakest Link

Of the nine contestants preparing for today's show,

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

The rest will leave with nothing,

as they're 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.

However, if they want the prize money,

they will have to work as a team.

But eight of them will leave with nothing, as, round by round,

we lose the player voted the weakest link. Let's meet the team.

I'm Brett. I'm 22. I live in Buckinghamshire and I work in marketing.

I'm Sue, 37, from St Helens and I'm a rock band manager.

I'm Michael, aged 67.

I live in Ascot. I work as a steward at Ascot racecourse.

I'm Lesley. I'm 41. I'm from Berkshire and I'm a legal secretary.

I'm Paul. I'm 42. I'm from London and I'm a local government officer.

I'm Janet. I'm 23, from Inverness, and I'm a software engineer.

I'm Diana. I'm 61. I come from Bridestowe in Devon

and I'm a retired ward sister.

My name is David. I'm 48. I'm from Margate and I'm a bingo caller.

I'm Lee. I'm 34. I'm from Dewsbury and I'm a firefighter.

Now the rules. The aim is to answer enough questions

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

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

Get a question wrong and you lose the money in that chain.

Say "Bank" before the question and the money is safe.

However, you start a new chain from scratch. Remember,

at the end of the 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 one whose name is first alphabetically, Brett.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

ditch the dunce. Time to vote off the weakest link.

In Round One, the strongest link is Diana.

The weakest link is Lee, as he got all his questions wrong.

-I'm a rock band manager.

-Where do you come from?

-St Helens.

Statistically, Lee was the weakest link.

But, Paul, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm angry to have been voted off in the first round.

They were unfair and didn't give me the credit I deserved.

I wasn't not the weakest link. I banked money.

I banked the most money for the team.

So that adds insult to injury.

They probably saw me as a threat because of my education.

I don't care who wins it.

Round Two. You won £400 out of a possible £1,000. There are eight of you left.

Ten seconds off the clock.

We'll start with the strongest link. That's Diana. Let's play The Weakest Link.

-Do you meet people there?

-I see a few famous people.

I get to see the Royal Family quite frequently.

But they never know me by name.

Why have you voted for Diana?

I thought she was the weakest link in that round.

She got three questions wrong.

Lesley, what's your hobby?

I like music, fashion.

What sort of fashion?

-My own fashion.

-Do you make your own clothes?

I do have a dabble.

Are you wearing a dabble?

-Why Diana?

-She got three wrong.

David, the bingo caller.

Pop music, literature, geography

and the English language are not your strong subjects.

But I'm a damned good bingo caller.

That's not what you're here to do and you think the area a bishop is in charge of is called a dialysis.

I was trying to get the word out, but I didn't make it.

Why Diana?

Three wrong. She was the weakest link.

Do you know anyone else who got three wrong?

-I did. Yes.

-Right.

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

My husband will laugh his socks off.

He says I watch too many soaps.

I love EastEnders and I was embarrassed to get that wrong.

Lee should be standing here.

He didn't answer hardly any of his questions.

Round Three, team. So far you've banked £450 out of a possible £2,000.

The Queen opened it. Michael, did you know that?

-I think I did.

-I will.

-Stay out of the Duke of Edinburgh's way. You know nothing on nature

and he's keen on the World Wildlife Fund.

-Why David?

-David had a couple of wrong answers.

If he wasn't the weakest link, who was?

-Probably myself.

-That's correct.

Statistically, Michael was the worst player

but David can go and row with the English language on his own. With four votes

your bingo days are back. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel terrible to be voted off. I'm gutted.

They didn't play together as a team. I shouldn't be here.

Michael should be here. He was the weakest link.

I don't want Lesley to win. I liked her at first. She's all smiles

and then she'll stab you in the back. I don't like her.

Round Four, team. £800 banked out of potential prize money of £3000. Six of you left.

But he went downhill.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm disappointed to be voted off now.

I was starting to get a good flow going with the questions.

It all fell apart in the last round.

I'd be disappointed if Michael won. He was weak early on.

He's been lucky to survive so far.

I think she was the weakest link.

Statistically, she was the worst player.

And Lesley...our fashion queen. An opportunity to show off your style.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Anne Robinson didn't intimidate me at all. Bring it on!

Michael will go next, he's worse than the others.

Lee is most likely to win the game.

He's calm, cool and collected.

Round Seven, team. So far you've won £1,160,

out of a possible £6,000 - three of you left.

Sue manages a rock band,

Michael works at Ascot but says the royal family don't know him,

The statistics reveal that the weakest link is Sue.

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

-I'm a fair person.

-So why have you voted off the strongest link?

Because I'm not as good at maths as I thought I were.

Expect me to believe that, even if you keep a straight face?

No...but I've got into the last round, haven't I?

Sue - who thinks there was a rock musical, Johnny.

The rock manager.

Why have you voted off the strongest link?

That's exactly why I voted him off.

I think me and Lee have got more of a battle, but Michael would beat me.

No team spirit here any more.

The strongest link is going off.

Michael...

back to Ascot, friend of the royals.

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

Being voted off so near to the final, especially being the strongest link,

wasn't very pleasant.

I feel quite furious about the whole thing.

I deserve to be in the final and should have been there.

I think Sue should be standing in my place.

I think overall, her performance is weaker than Lee's

and certainly weaker than mine.

I should have been up there with Lee. And I would have thrashed him.

Round Eight. You've won £1,250 out of a possible £7,000.

Sue and Lee - just the two of you left.

You have 90 seconds. What you win this round will be trebled

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

£3,000 is at stake this round.

You voted off the strongest link, so the second strongest is Lee.
