Any of the nine people in the studio here today could win up to £10,000.

Rosemarie.

0:06:230:06:25

Rosemarie.

0:06:260:06:28

Rosemarie.

0:06:280:06:30

Rosemarie.

0:06:300:06:32

-Where are you from, Pete?

-Heckmondwike in West Yorkshire.

0:06:340:06:38

-What do you do in Heckmondwike?

-I'm a bus driver.

-Did you always want an exciting job?

0:06:380:06:44

-I've always had an exciting job, yes.

0:06:440:06:47

-And when you get home, is there a Mrs Pete at home?

-Yes.

0:06:470:06:53

0:06:530:06:57

-Not usually, no.

-So what do you do when you get home?

0:06:570:07:01

-Yeah.

-And then I go into my shed.

0:07:010:07:08

-What do you do in the shed?

-I'm a presenter on an internet radio station.

-Really?

0:07:080:07:13

-Broadcast to us.

-Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Replay Radio. It's Pete Forsyth here.

0:07:130:07:19

-We'll just go through the emails and see what requests we have for today.

-OK.

0:07:190:07:24

Let's hear the record.

0:07:240:07:26

-The actual record?

-Yeah. What are you going to sing?

0:07:260:07:29

-I could sing something I do on karaoke.

-OK.

0:07:290:07:32

-# You could... #

-Stop!

0:07:320:07:35

Why Rosemarie?

0:07:350:07:37

She got a very simple question wrong. It was "breadth" instead of "depth".

0:07:370:07:41

-What do you do, Josephine?

-I'm a civil servant.

0:07:410:07:45

-Really?

-Yeah.

-Doing what?

0:07:450:07:47

I take loan applications for people over the telephone who are in crisis and we help them out with money...

0:07:470:07:53

-Who are "we"?

-Department for Work and Pensions.

0:07:530:07:56

-If I come to you with a sob story, you give me money?

-Not quite.

0:07:560:08:00

Part of our job is to make a decision as to whether...

0:08:000:08:03

-What's the most you can give me?

-About 1,500.

0:08:030:08:07

So if I come in and say, "I've seen a Chanel handbag, I've got to have it..."

0:08:070:08:12

-No, we wouldn't give you money for a Chanel handbag, Anne.

-Oh, right. Why Rosemarie?

0:08:120:08:18

Because she did get the question wrong and, unfortunately, she was the one who lost the most money.

0:08:180:08:25

-What do you do, Wayne?

-I'm a plastic fabricator, Anne.

0:08:250:08:28

-Who do you work for?

-Havant Signs.

0:08:280:08:31

So if I ring up wanting something in plastic,

0:08:310:08:35

-I ring your company?

-Yes.

0:08:350:08:37

So I ring. What does somebody on the other end say to me?

0:08:370:08:40

Good morning, Havant Signs & Plastics.

0:08:400:08:43

I'm not going to "Haven't" Signs. I want somewhere that has signs!

0:08:430:08:47

What do you do when you haven't signs?

0:08:470:08:50

-When I haven't signs?

-Yeah.

-I point.

-You point?

-Yes.

0:08:500:08:55

Why Rose...marie?

0:08:550:08:58

She got a question wrong, Anne.

0:08:580:09:00

Rosemarie, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:09:000:09:04

When I was asked the question about dimensions,

0:09:100:09:14

I only listened to the first part of the question, unfortunately.

0:09:140:09:18

That's why I gave the answer "breadth".

0:09:180:09:20

Otherwise, I would have given the answer "depth" because it was the obvious answer,

0:09:200:09:26

but concentration got the better of me and, unfortunately, I got the wrong answer.

0:09:260:09:31

Round Two. In the bank, £750. We now take ten seconds off your time.

-On the Weakest Link?

So what would be the good bit of it? What would you be good at doing?

0:14:190:14:22

If I was your junior, the runner, and I said, "Well, I'm thinking of casting Margaret,"

0:14:220:14:28

what would you think?

0:14:280:14:30

Well, I would say Margaret is a lovely, lovely lady.

0:15:000:15:04

How do you feel your cunning plan is going so far?

0:15:040:15:07

Not very well.

0:15:070:15:09

Oh! I presume the idea was, by not answering a single question correctly at this point,

0:15:090:15:16

everyone would assume you were thick, then suddenly we'd find out you're a genius.

0:15:160:15:21

-Exactly. That's how I'm going to win.

-Yes.

0:15:210:15:24

-Why Margaret?

-Because she did get a question wrong as well.

0:15:240:15:29

Margaret, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:15:290:15:33

The walk of shame was slightly embarrassing, but it was shorter than I thought.

I thought you had to walk longer, so it wasn't too bad after all.
