20/02/2013 Weakest Link

Of the nine contestants on the show

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

The rest will leave with nothing

as one by one they're voted off as the weakest link.

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

Any of the nine people in the studio today

could win up to £10,000.

They don't know each other.

However, if they want the money, they 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 Jeremy, I'm 39.

I'm from Bishop's Stortford. And I'm an accountant.

My name is Mark. I'm 23.

I'm from Hartlepool and I'm a graphics designer.

I'm Jane. I'm 41. I'm from Sutton Coldfield. I work in a call centre.

I'm Arthur. I'm 62.

I come from Hull and I'm a retired company director.

My name's Emma. I'm 26. I'm from London.

I'm a communications executive.

I'm Andy. I'm 19. I'm from Plymouth.

And I'm a student.

I'm Evelyn. I'm 56. I'm from Liverpool.

I'm an assistant manager at a sheltered accommodation.

My name's Rachael. I'm 32, from Diss in Norfolk, and I'm a housewife.

My name is Graham. I'm 47, from Chepstow,

and I'm an instructional officer.

The aim is to answer enough questions correctly

to reach your £1,000 target

within the time limit.

The fast way is to make a chain of nine correct answers. Get one wrong

and you lose the money in that chain

unless you say "bank" before the question is asked.

Then you start a brand-new chain.

At the end of the round, only money that has been banked

can be carried over.

There are three minutes on the clock.

We start with the person who is first alphabetically.

That's you, Andy. Let's play The Weakest Link.

-Thank you.

-What are you thanking me for?

-For the compliment, I think.

-Please yourself.

-Graham.

-Why?

-He's hesitated.

In the interests of the team, we need to get rid of him.

Graham, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel very, very upset that I've come off on the first vote.

The team made a mistake voting me off.

I can give them the answers. I have the strategy.

-He got his questions wrong and his shirt's not tucked in.

Statistically, Jane,

and I'll say this in English, you were the worst player.

But it's votes that count.

Andy, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm really mad that I've been voted off.

Because I do think everyone was voting tactically.

Jeremy should be stood here.

He's voted for me twice. He's stuck up. And I don't like him.

Round Three and out of a possible £2,000 you've won so far £800.

With no questions answered correctly, Evelyn is the weakest link.

Jeremy is the strongest, getting all of his answers right. But how will the votes go?

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

-Emma...do you get out much?

-Not to the opera, no. Unfortunately.

-Where do you go, the pub?

-Yeah, actually.

-Those earrings go with the pub rather than the opera.

-I suppose so. Are you saying

-Why Evelyn?

She got the New York Yankees wrong last time and she got some wrong this round.

Rachael, what's nice about being a housewife?

Spending quality time with my offspring.

-Why Evelyn?

two well-known MPs and Tory party members.

-Hmm.

Evelyn, you didn't answer a single question correctly.

You were the worst player and you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

At this point, I'm upset at being voted off.

I was getting into the swing of it but the questions didn't come my way.

I'm kicking myself about the Yankees because I knew that

and Chicago came out instead.

We are taking ten seconds off the clock. You have two-and-a-half minutes.

Whose hopes of winning are hopeless?

Who would have difficulty even spelling IQ?

Time to vote off the weakest link.

The strongest link is Mark and the weakest link is Arthur. But will the votes reflect the statistics?

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

In that last round, team,

you got ten questions right in a row.

You could've reached the target with no trouble.

-Mark, why Arthur?

-The question that he got this round was difficult.

But he's got the odd question wrong in previous rounds.

Jeremy, what are you good at?

I'm very, very good at accountancy.

-How do you charge?

-By the hour. Meticulous records kept.

I could make them up, if I was in your office. Why Arthur?

He's had a few questions wrong in several rounds.

-I felt he was the weakest link.

-Statistically, Arthur,

you were the worst player. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I thought the guys that were left were gunning for me, because I have reasonable general knowledge.

I got some hard questions, maybe they didn't want to face me later.

I think Emma might be voted off the next time. She may be waning a little.

Round Five.

Your total is £1,500. If you'd hit your targets, it would be £4,000.

Whose fuse has blown? Whose elastic has snapped?

Time to vote off the weakest link.

Jane is the strongest link as she got the most answers right.

Jeremy is the weakest link. But whose game is now over?

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

Emma, apart from going to the pub in those earrings, do you listen to music?

-I listen to a lot of music.

-Never heard of Ziggy Marley?

I have actually. It was a bit stupid about that, I must say.

Why Mark?

I suspect he's a Newcastle fan. I don't like that team. He's got to go.

-So, Jeremy the accountant, who doesn't know about a one penny.

-Be daring.

OK, I was.

Jeremy was the worst player, but Mark, it's back to Hartlepool. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was annoyed to be voted off. The money was coming into play and I could do with the money.

Jeremy should be here now. He was the weakest link. An accountant not knowing about money is bad.

you've won so far, £1,770.

Four of you left. Ten seconds from your time.

We start with the strongest link - that's Jane. Let's play The Weakest Link.

For the third time in the game, Jeremy is statistically the weakest link.

The strongest link is Emma. She got all her answers right.

But will the team realise that?

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

Jane, why Rachael?

Because she said pass when she should have said bank.

Jeremy the accountant must be pleased. You got a money question right that round.

-I'm very relieved I did.

-Why Rachael?

She had a shocking round and said pass when she meant bank.

I'm sorry.

Do you think she was the weakest link?

You're asking me that question again, aren't you, Anne?

She probably was that round, yes.

Think again, Jeremy.

Does that mean I might have been?

-For the second round in a row.

-But, Rachael,

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I don't know why I said pass instead of bank.

It just came out that way.

I don't really want Jane to win being an ex-trolley dolly.

She's not bright enough.

Round Seven. You've won £2,020 out of the £6,000 you could have won.

Another ten seconds off the time.

We start with the strongest link. That's Emma.

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

you get a chance to treble what you bank.

So £3,000 is up there for grabs.

The question is...

who is least likely to help?

Who is most likely to achieve...

a higher kitty?

And who is going to have the courage...

to vote off the weakest link.

At this crucial stage, statistics are similar to last round.

Emma is the strongest link and Jeremy is the weakest link.

Who can survive the final vote?

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

Emma, why Jeremy?

I thought he was the weakest link.

-It's time he's got to go.

-And he's an accountant.

-Jane, why Jeremy?

-I thought he was the weakest link.

Statistically, yet again,

he was the worst player. Jeremy the accountant,

who thinks the naked image of Billy Connolly was projected onto the Houses of Parliament,

you are the weakest link. Bye.

It's frustrating to be so close to the final two.

I shall chastise myself for the ones I got wrong.

I think Emma will win. She's been the strongest contestant.

throughout the game. She is very good.

Round Eight, team. Out of a possible £7,000,

you've won £2,390. Jane and Emma,

two of you left. This time you have only 90 seconds.

Whatever you win this round is trebled.

So, potentially there's £3,000 at stake.

We start with the strongest link. That's Emma.

is £2,390.

Only one of you can take that money home, so now you play each other.

I'll ask five questions in turn.

Whoever answers the most correctly, wins. Simple as that.

A tie means Sudden Death

until we have a winner. So, Jane and Emma, for £2,390,

let's play The Weakest Link.

Strongest link chooses who goes first.

I'll go first, please, Anne.
