22/02/2012 Weakest Link

Here are the nine contestants preparing for today's show.

Only one of them will win up to £10,000.

The others will leave with nothing when 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've only just met

but to get the prize money they'll have to work together.

However, eight will leave with nothing as round by round

we lose the player voted the weakest link.

Let's meet the team.

My name is Kieran, I'm 19 years old, I'm from Perth

and I'm a history student.

I'm Jayne, I'm 42, from Dewsbury in West Yorkshire

and I'm a reach truck driver.

I am Colin, I'm 52, from the New Forest and an entertainer.

I'm Emma, I'm 30 years old,

I'm Rob, I'm 33 years old, I'm from Poole in Dorset and I'm a chef.

OK, just to remind you, in each round there's £1,000 to be won.

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

Break the chain and you lose all the money in that chain.

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

but one of you will not.

Who's possibly the prime suspect in Dial M For Moron?

Who might think Eamonn Holmes is a sort of bungalow?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

In an impressive first round,

Colin is the strongest link as he banked all the money for the team.

The weakest link statistically is Emma but how will the votes go?

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

Valerie.

Ian.

-Anybody that wants to get married and they want a DJ, I'm there.

What do you charge?

Er, it varies on the venue but averages about £150.

Up to what?

£225.

And for 225 would you promise not to wear that waistcoat?

I would do that for you, Anne, if you were getting married.

Have you been married?

I've been married a few times, Anne. I'm on my third marriage.

Are you? What happened to the first two Mrs Colins?

Er, no, nothing happened to them. They're still alive.

I like to think so though other people may say, "No, you can't."

Well, I'll say that when you've sung.

HE SINGS: God bless you, please, Mrs Robinson.

Heaven hold a place for those who wait. Hey-hey-hey!

-What made you think to do that song?

-For you, Anne. You are the queen.

Put your board up.

-Why Peter?

-I thought he said wing instead of wings on his answer.

I didn't matter.

It's just cos he's better looking than you, isn't it?

Most probably is. Everyone's better looking than me, Anne.

-Michelle?

Just take us through why philosophy would be of any use whatsoever in Birmingham.

-I don't really have a good answer for that one.

-No.

I think it's interesting and it helps me articulate my points of view.

It helps me think through things in a more rational way

than I would do without it.

-Yes, and what are you going to do afterwards?

-Be a teacher, hopefully.

-Teaching what?

English and maybe RE. Do a cheeky bit on the side.

-Yeah, you're going to teach English in Birmingham?

-I'll attempt to.

-That's an uphill task, isn't it?

-It is indeed.

Why Peter?

I couldn't really think of any other reason

other than he's in the middle.

But I thought philosophy lectures helped you rationalise.

-Yes, I thought I'd keep things symmetrical?

-What do you do, Ian?

-I'm a stock photographer, Anne.

-Are you?

-Yes.

-Not paparazzi?

-No.

-I couldn't keep up with them.

-No, you couldn't.

-wouldn't there?

some studio work and then sell them online.

-And what do you start the day by eating?

-A bowl of cereal.

-Yes.

-Followed by toast.

-Yes.

Sometimes a fried breakfast if I've got it in the fridge.

If I haven't, I'll have another cereal.

-And then what's your next meal?

-Er, lunch.

Oh, come on!

You'll need something inside you after cereal,

toast and a fried breakfast.

You don't know how big my cereal bowl is, Anne.

Why Peter?

I just thought we all did about the same but I had to pick someone.

Peter, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

When the boards were turned over, it rapidly became apparent

that I was going to be the first to be voted off.

But I have no idea why because, being a perfect round,

everybody has to pick on somebody. It's just the luck of the draw.

Round Two and you have £1,000.

We're taking ten seconds off your time.

Time to vote off the weakest link.

-Why's that?

-I'm a bit... I'm just unsociable.

You've really got a bloke's job, haven't you?

-Can't they speak for themselves?

-No, they can but sometimes

if you've got an organisation with a lot of employees,

sometimes people can feel a bit disconnected.

-Disconnected?

-I help them feel a bit more connected.

-Why Kieran?

-I felt awful. I didn't know who to choose...

-Just crack on.

OK, sorry.

I just thought the question about the clock really stuck in my mind

-so I'm so sorry.

-Kieran, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

People at home will probably think,

"At least he didn't go home in the first round and embarrass himself too much,"

but I think the 24-hour clock question will live with me for some time

so I might try and hide from everyone else and go underground.

Colin, why Ian?

Ian got a music question right earlier in the programme

-What sort of logic is that?

-Well, I thought he was up on his music.

The strongest link was Michelle, so she gets to decide.

Why have you voted for Ian?

you've just got to vote for someone, haven't you?

You've got a choice. You can stick with Ian or you can move to Jayne.

END-OF-ROUND JINGLE

Time's up. The correct answer was Kenneth Williams. You won £110.

Now, in Round Eight, you get the chance to treble what you bank.

You need to hang on to the best player to raise the bank balance.

Have the courage to vote off the weakest link.

With no correct answers, Michelle is still the weakest link.

The statistics show that Jayne is the strongest link

but who will be taking the final walk of shame?

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

Michelle.

-Jayne, why Michelle?

-I think she had a really bad round there.

Colin, why Michelle?

Michelle never got a single question right at all.

She didn't. Fair vote.

Michelle, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think that Colin will probably win at the end.

I think if me and Jayne were up against each other

then it would've been quite a good match

but that's not the way that it happened.

Round Eight. You've won £2,300.

In this round, 90 seconds. But whatever you win will be trebled.
