Here are the nine contestants preparing for 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 get nothing, as one by one they're voted off

0:00:090:00:14

as the weakest link.

0:00:140:00:16

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:290:00:32

Any of the nine people here today,

0:00:340:00:37

could win up to £10,000.

0:00:370:00:40

They don't know each other.

0:00:400:00:42

However, if they want the money,

0:00:420:00:45

they'll have to work as a team.

0:00:450:00:47

But eight of them will leave with nothing,

0:00:470:00:50

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

0:00:500:00:54

Let's meet the team.

0:00:540:00:56

I'm Terry, I'm 40. I live in Derbyshire and I'm a DJ.

0:00:580:01:02

I'm Mike. I'm 30, from the Wirral and I'm a barman.

0:01:020:01:06

I'm Kathy, 45, from Folkestone in Kent. I'm an education welfare officer.

0:01:060:01:12

I'm Andy, 27, from Bradford. I'm a teacher.

0:01:120:01:16

I'm Nikki. I'm 27, from London and I'm a car importer.

0:01:160:01:20

I'm Sheila, 43, from Kings Langley and a club stewardess.

0:01:200:01:24

I'm Phil, 23, from Colchester and I'm a student.

0:01:240:01:29

I'm Mandy, I'm 33, from Birmingham and I'm a PA.

0:01:290:01:33

I'm Dennis, I'm 53, from Bicester. I'm a regional sales manager.

0:01:330:01:38

Now the rules. In each round the aim

0:01:400:01:42

is to answer enough questions to reach £1,000

0:01:420:01:46

within the time limit. The fastest way

0:01:460:01:49

is to create a chain of nine correct answers. Get your question wrong

0:01:490:01:54

and you break the chain and lose all the money.

0:01:540:01:58

If you bank before your question, the money's safe.

0:01:580:02:01

However, you start a new chain from scratch. Remember, at the end

0:02:010:02:06

of the round, only money banked is carried forward. Round One

0:02:060:02:11

lasts three minutes.

0:02:110:02:13

John Constable IS the correct answer.

0:05:280:05:31

And that was pretty disastrous, team.

0:05:310:05:34

Of the £1,000 available to you,

0:05:340:05:37

you put in the kitty a dismal 120.

0:05:370:05:43

Who's the joker in the pack? Time to vote off

0:05:430:05:46

the weakest link.

0:05:460:05:48

As the only player not to answer any correctly,

0:05:500:05:54

the first weakest link is Sheila.

0:05:540:05:56

Statistically, Nikki is the strongest link,

0:05:560:06:00

as she got all her answers right.

0:06:000:06:02

But who will be taking the first walk of shame?

0:06:020:06:06

Voting over.

0:06:070:06:08

Andy.

Like us all, she was nervous.

0:06:520:06:54

0:07:100:07:14

-Like what?

-Don't know yet. I've still got a year to go.

0:07:140:07:17

Right. Why Sheila?

0:07:170:07:20

She got three questions wrong. I don't think anybody else did.

0:07:200:07:25

Sheila who, perhaps, left her memory at home.

0:07:250:07:29

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:07:290:07:32

I'm a club stewardess. We have 600 members.

0:07:400:07:43

It'll be a long time before I live this down.

0:07:430:07:46

Possibly voted off next will be Phil or Dennis.

0:07:460:07:50

They got two questions wrong

0:07:500:07:52

and they're nervous, like me.

0:07:520:07:54

Why Dennis?

0:13:120:13:14

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

£70 you banked in that round.

0:16:580:17:03

Whose computer has now completely crashed? It's time to vote off

0:17:030:17:09

the weakest link.

0:17:090:17:12

With no correct answers, Andy is the weakest link.

0:17:120:17:17

Terry is the strongest link.

0:17:170:17:19

But will the others notice?

0:17:190:17:21

Voting over.

0:17:220:17:24

Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

0:17:240:17:27

We have a tie, team.

0:17:400:17:43

Andy and Nikki, three votes each.

Nikki, where is it you think

My mind went blank and I picked a country

0:17:540:17:57

You've not read Brideshead and you don't know Worzel Gummidge.

0:17:570:18:01

-Why Andy?

-Because he didn't get a question right.

0:18:010:18:05

So, Andy, the teacher, why Nikki?

0:18:050:18:09

I think my poor form rubbed off on her.

0:18:090:18:11

When the vote's tied, the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote.

0:18:130:18:18

Terry, what worries you more? Kids being taught by Andy

0:18:180:18:23

or Nikki selling cars?

0:18:230:18:26

I'll stick with Andy.

0:18:260:18:28

You'll stick with Andy.

0:18:280:18:30

Andy, no-one would disagree. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:18:300:18:35

To get voted off in a tie-break was really annoying.

0:18:430:18:47

I could have gone on to do better.

0:18:470:18:49

Mandy will go next. She's getting nervous and missing easy questions.

Time is up. You won £200, which is usually dismal

0:21:510:21:56

Who perhaps is a DJ short of a turntable?

0:22:020:22:05

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:22:050:22:09

As the only one to answer all her questions incorrectly,

0:22:110:22:15

Mandy is the weakest link.

0:22:150:22:17

Statistics show that Nikki is the strongest link,

0:22:170:22:21

but whose game is now over?

0:22:210:22:23

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

0:22:240:22:29

-Feeling all right, Nikki?

-Yes, thank you.

0:22:410:22:44

You got a literature question right.

0:22:440:22:47

I did feel a bit faint after that.

0:22:470:22:49

Have you read Thomas Hardy?

0:22:490:22:51

-Have you heard of Thomas Hardy?

0:22:510:22:54

-Well, that's a step forward.

0:22:540:22:57

-Why Mandy?

0:23:190:23:22

Mandy had as bad a round as myself.

0:23:220:23:24

Well, Mandy, we never had a chance to talk to her.

0:23:240:23:28

Statistically, she was the worst player.

0:23:280:23:31

It might be a relief to hear. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:23:310:23:36

The person I'd least like to see win is Kathy.

0:23:420:23:46

She's not a team player, and doesn't feel part of it. Mike will be next.

0:23:460:23:51

He's had a few bad rounds, and the team have noticed.

0:23:510:23:55

Round Five. Your total so far is £490. If you'd hit your targets

0:23:570:24:02

it would be £4,000.

0:24:020:24:04

There are five of you left.

0:24:040:24:06

Another ten seconds coming off the time.

0:24:060:24:09

We'll start with the strongest link. That's Nikki!

0:24:090:24:13

0:26:410:26:45

Who's asleep at the controls? It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:26:450:26:51

Having answered all her questions correctly,

0:26:530:26:56

Kathy is the strongest link.

0:26:560:26:58

Nikki has gone from being strongest link

0:26:580:27:02

to weakest link in this round,

0:27:020:27:04

but will the others be aware of that?

0:27:040:27:07

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

0:27:070:27:12

We have a tie, team.

Mike and Nikki, two votes each.

0:27:430:27:46

-You don't look funky.

-I'm not! I'm an old-fashioned DJ.

0:27:460:27:51

-Why Mike?

-I think he got the most questions wrong.

0:27:510:27:55

Phil, do you not like girls?

0:27:550:27:58

-Yeah.

-Do you not like pretty girls like Nikki?

0:27:580:28:02

She's very nice,

0:28:020:28:04

but it was the Edgar Allan Poe question that did it for me.

0:28:040:28:08

When the vote is tied, the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote.

0:28:080:28:14

And the strongest link in that round was Kathy,

0:28:140:28:18

the truant teacher.

0:28:470:28:51

Nikki, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:28:510:28:54

Mike's performance throughout was a lot weaker than mine.

0:29:000:29:05

I'm quite annoyed I'm standing here and he's not.

0:29:050:29:09

Kathy voted for me because I'd been the strongest link

0:29:090:29:13

and she fancies her chances against the males.

0:29:130:29:16

Round Six, and you've won £630

0:29:180:29:22

out of a possible £5,000.

0:29:220:29:24

We are cutting ten seconds from the time.

We'll start with the strongest link - that's Kathy.

0:31:520:31:56

reject the lean, banish the bumbler. It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:31:560:32:01

For the second round in a row, Kathy is the strongest link.

0:32:030:32:07

The statistics show Phil is the weakest link.

0:32:070:32:11

But will the voting reflect these facts?

0:32:110:32:14

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

0:32:150:32:20

Kathy, I suppose as a truant officer,

0:32:290:32:32

you have to have good powers of observation.

0:32:320:32:36

I don't think it's one of the qualities that are needed.

0:32:360:32:40

-What are the qualities?

-Being a good communicator.

0:32:400:32:43

You need to get on with a wide variety of people.

0:32:430:32:47

-You need to be fair in your judgements.

-Yes.

0:32:470:32:51

Can you explain why you're voting off one of the best players?

0:32:510:32:56

Because in that round I thought...

0:32:560:32:58

Again, it was in my mind a tie between Terry and Phil.

0:32:580:33:03

The reason for not keeping the best players is you're so greedy you want the money.

0:33:030:33:09

Not true, not with the amount we're going to win.

0:33:090:33:12

-It's the kudos of winning you're worried about?

-I'd like to win.

0:33:120:33:16

Phil, are you going to be any more honest than the truant officer?

0:33:180:33:22

I'll be as honest. I thought he was the weakest player in that round.

0:33:220:33:29

You go with dignity. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:33:290:33:33

At the end of the day, Kathy and Phil did vote tactically against me.

0:33:400:33:45

They said they both thought I was the weakest link. I clearly wasn't.

0:33:450:33:50

Mike will go next. He's been lucky to survive some rounds

0:33:500:33:54

where others were bad too.

0:33:540:33:56

The others are much better.

0:33:560:33:58

Round Seven, and we still aren't into four figures.

0:34:000:34:04

£750 is what you've got in the kitty.

0:34:040:34:07

Another ten seconds off the time.

0:34:070:34:09

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

0:36:220:36:27

0:36:270:36:29

The question is, who do you keep hold of, who do you ditch?

0:36:290:36:35

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:36:350:36:38

The only player to answer all his questions is Mike,

0:36:410:36:45

making him the strongest link.

0:36:450:36:47

Phil is the weakest link for the second round.

At this crucial stage of the game, who will survive the final vote?

0:36:510:36:56

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

I think we all were getting questions wrong in that round,

0:37:120:37:17

Mike, why Phil?

-To be honest, it was a toss-up.

-No-one is honest, be they truant officers or barmen.

I'll lie. It was a toss-up between Kathy and Phil,

0:37:310:37:34

and Phil just edged it.

0:37:340:37:36

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

0:37:360:37:41

I'm very, very disappointed and angry that Mike is out there and I'm here.

0:37:470:37:53

I'm very surprised Mike got as far as he did.

0:37:530:37:56

He was consistently voted.

0:37:560:37:58

In each round he got through by the skin of his teeth.

0:37:580:38:02

Kathy will win, no question about it.

0:38:020:38:05

She has got a far superior amount of general knowledge to Mike.

0:38:050:38:10
