Of the nine contestants preparing for today's show,

0:00:010:00:04

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

0:00:040:00:08

The rest will leave with nothing,

0:00:080:00:10

as one by one, they're voted off as the Weakest Link.

0:00:100:00:15

Welcome to the Weakest Link.

0:00:280:00:30

Any of the nine people in the studio today

0:00:310:00:34

could win up to £10,000

0:00:340:00:37

They don't know each other, but if they want the prize money,

0:00:370:00:41

they'll have to work as a team.

0:00:410:00:43

But eight of them will leave with nothing,

0:00:430:00:47

as round by round we lose the player voted the Weakest Link.

0:00:470:00:51

Let's meet the team.

0:00:510:00:53

I'm David. I'm 22 from Newcastle and I'm a billing assistant.

0:00:530:00:58

I'm Linda, 59, from Southampton, and I'm a toll bridge collector.

0:00:590:01:05

My name is Richard. I'm 36, from Plymouth, and I'm a Macmillan Nurse.

0:01:050:01:10

I'm Angela. I'm 49, from Milton Keynes, and I work as a sales clerk.

0:01:110:01:16

My name's Tanya. I'm 35. I'm a social worker and I live in London.

0:01:170:01:22

My name is Paul. I'm 46 from Borehamwood, Herts,

0:01:230:01:27

and I'm an accounts manager.

0:01:270:01:29

My name is Billie-Jean. I'm 27 from Yorkshire, and I'm a teacher.

0:01:290:01:35

I'm Roger. I'm 60 from Middlesex and I'm a charities consultant.

0:01:360:01:41

My name is Bob. I'm 54. I'm from Chorley in Lancashire

0:01:420:01:46

and I'm a caravan repair technician.

0:01:460:01:49

In each round, the aim is to answer enough questions correctly

0:01:490:01:53

to reach your £1,000 target within the time limit.

0:01:530:01:56

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

0:01:560:02:00

Get your question wrong and you break the chain and lose the money.

0:02:000:02:05

If you say "Bank" the money is safe,

0:02:050:02:09

but you start a new chain from scratch.

0:02:090:02:12

Only money that has been banked can be taken forward.

0:02:120:02:18

In round one, you have three minutes.

0:02:180:02:20

We'll start with the person whose name is first alphabetically.

0:02:200:02:24

That's you, Angela.

Time is up.

0:05:350:05:37

You banked the tragically small amount of £200,

0:05:370:05:42

despite the fact, team,

0:05:420:05:45

that in that first round, you managed to answer 11 questions correctly in a row.

0:05:450:05:52

It also means you have some members of the team

0:05:520:05:56

that are costing you money.

0:05:560:05:58

It's time to vote off The Weakest Link.

0:05:580:06:01

Statistically, the strongest link is Bob.

0:06:030:06:06

The Weakest Link is Paul as he gave the most wrong answers.

0:06:060:06:10

But will the team notice that?

0:06:100:06:13

Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is The Weakest Link.

0:06:140:06:18

Paul.

0:06:220:06:23

-Roger, you're a charity consultant.

-Yes.

0:06:400:06:44

-No, no. I get paid for doing that.

0:06:440:06:49

-He got a couple of questions wrong at the beginning.

0:06:490:06:53

Linda, what do you do?

0:06:530:06:55

-I'm a toll bridge collector.

-Where do you collect tolls?

0:07:240:07:28

Why Paul?

0:07:280:07:30

The question he got wrong about the French flag, I thought that was quite easy.

0:07:300:07:36

OK. Paul, who's done nothing to improve the boring image of Borehamwood...

0:07:360:07:43

you are The Weakest Link. Goodbye.

0:07:440:07:47

My friends and family are going to take the mickey out of me, absolutely deservedly.

I was pants!

0:08:000:08:01

I'd like to see Angela voted off next

because she's a little bit too full of herself.

0:08:040:08:08

Round two, team. You've won £200,

0:08:090:08:12

which is very unimpressive.

0:11:200:11:24

But who is top of the flops? One of you is about to leave with nothing.

0:11:240:11:29

It's time to vote off The Weakest Link.

0:11:450:11:48

Billie-Jean.

David.

0:11:570:11:59

Roger.

0:12:000:12:02

Linda.

Tanya, tell me about your dress.

Something to take the attention away from your stark austerity.

-Why David?

but interestingly apart from David, who's going

0:13:040:13:07

no one noticed. David, you are the Weakest Link. Goodbye.

0:13:070:13:11

It's disappointing to go when you're not the Weakest Link,

0:13:170:13:21

and I was the only one who noticed Billie-Jean was.

0:13:210:13:25

I'd like Roger to go because he's older and that's an unfair advantage.

0:13:250:13:30

Round three, team.

0:13:300:13:32

So far, you have £600 in the kitty.

0:13:320:13:36

We'll take ten seconds off the clock.

0:16:200:16:23

Angela, what W is the name of...?

0:16:230:16:26

Time's up and you banked £320. But who is beyond hope?

0:16:290:16:35

Whose brain sadly is now at death's door?

0:16:350:16:39

Time to vote off the Weakest Link.

0:16:390:16:41

In a reversal of fortune, Angela has gone from being the strongest link

0:16:430:16:48

to the Weakest Link,

0:16:480:16:50

whilst Billie-Jean is the strongest link.

0:16:500:16:53

Will the votes follow the statistics?

0:16:530:16:56

Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the Weakest Link.

0:16:570:17:02

Bob.

0:17:030:17:04

Angela.

0:17:040:17:06

Roger.

0:17:060:17:08

Bob.

0:17:080:17:10

Bob.

0:17:120:17:13

Linda.

0:17:140:17:15

Richard.

0:17:150:17:17

Billie-Jean, are you from the whole of Yorkshire?

-Where do you live now?

-Wakefield, but I'm from the seaside.

-What seaside?

0:17:240:17:30

Bridlington where Mummy lives.

0:17:300:17:32

-You don't live with Mummy?

-No, with boyfriend.

-What does boyfriend do?

0:17:320:17:36

-He designs biscuits.

-Does he? Why Bob?

0:17:360:17:40

He got the question about the ocean and then didn't name an ocean.

0:17:400:17:45

So, Linda, I get to your tollgate with no money. What do you say?

0:17:450:17:50

I can give you a bill, Anne.

0:17:500:17:53

For the same amount and it has to be paid within a week.

0:17:530:17:57

What happens if I don't pay it?

0:17:570:17:59

-They send you another bill.

-And then what happens?

-I don't know.

0:17:590:18:04

So there might be some people over there who can never leave.

0:18:040:18:08

-Why Bob?

-I thought he was weaker overall.

0:18:080:18:12

Well, interestingly, the worst player in the last round was Angela.

0:18:130:18:20

It's votes that count. Bob who loathes the caravans he repairs

0:18:200:18:26

you are the Weakest Link. Goodbye.

0:18:260:18:29

Angela should be here instead of me.

0:18:350:18:38

I feel she is a complete and utter bobbin

0:18:380:18:43

a know-all.

0:18:430:18:44

Round four, team. £920 in the kitty.

0:18:450:18:49

out of a possible £3,000.

0:18:490:18:52

We're taking another ten seconds off the clock.

0:18:520:18:55

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

Time's up. Greek was the correct answer.

0:21:380:21:41

But it was a miserable performance nevertheless.

0:21:410:21:47

Just £20.

0:21:470:21:50

Who's not the brightest bear in the woods? It's time to vote off the Weakest Link.

0:21:500:21:56

The strongest link is Tanya.

0:21:580:22:00

For the second time, Billie-Jean is the Weakest Link.

0:22:000:22:04

Can she survive another vote?

0:22:040:22:06

Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the Weakest Link.

0:22:070:22:12

Angela.

0:22:130:22:15

Linda.

0:22:160:22:17

Billie-Jean.

0:22:170:22:19

Angela.

0:22:200:22:21

Linda.

0:22:220:22:24

Angela.

0:22:240:22:26

So, Linda, why Angela?

0:22:280:22:31

Because she got some wrong and she lost money.

0:22:310:22:35

Did she?

0:22:350:22:37

-How many did she get wrong?

-I think two the same as me.

-Exactly.

0:22:370:22:43

Well, interestingly,

0:22:430:22:45

the worst player was the one whose boyfriend makes biscuits.

0:22:450:22:50

But only Angela, who's leaving, noticed.

0:22:520:22:56

Angela, you are the Weakest Link. Goodbye.

0:22:560:22:59

The team voted me off that time

0:23:060:23:08

because I broke the chain

0:23:080:23:10

the chain that we agreed we'd go to, then bank. I blew it.

0:23:100:23:15

I would like to see Billie-Jean off.

0:23:150:23:18

She's been the Weakest Link twice,

0:23:180:23:21

and I don't think she's as clever as she thinks she is.

0:23:210:23:25

Round five, team.

0:23:250:23:28

Your total is £940, so we're hardly dying of surprise and admiration.

0:23:280:23:34

There are five of you left, another ten seconds coming off the time.

0:23:340:23:38

We'll start with the strongest link that's Tanya.

0:23:380:23:42

Start the clock.

Correct. Roger. In a car...?

0:26:050:26:07

Time's up. You banked £70.

0:26:110:26:14

It will be difficult to choose who to lose

0:26:140:26:18

because all of you have gone off the boil.

0:26:180:26:21

To whom will I not be asking another question?

0:26:210:26:25

It's time to vote off the Weakest Link.

0:26:250:26:28

Linda is the strongest link as she answered all her questions correctly.

0:26:300:26:36

Richard is the Weakest Link, but who will the team want off?

0:26:360:26:40

Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the Weakest Link.

0:26:410:26:45

Roger.

0:26:450:26:47

Billie-Jean.

0:26:480:26:49

Linda.

0:26:490:26:51

Roger.

0:26:520:26:54

Billie-Jean.

0:26:540:26:55

We have a tie, team. Billie-Jean and Roger have two votes each.

0:26:570:27:03

Roger, why Billie-Jean?

0:27:030:27:06

I think she's been weak earlier on

0:27:060:27:09

and has answered quite a few wrong.

0:27:090:27:12

-Do you just not like women?

-Do I not like women?

0:27:120:27:16

Oh, I do.

0:27:160:27:17

-Are you a bit of a joke, Billie- Jean?

-No. Maybe a bit of a joker.

0:27:170:27:22

-Why Roger?

-A bit pedantic, really.

0:27:220:27:25

When I got my final question correct, we had very few seconds to go,

0:27:250:27:31

and I wanted him to say "Bank".

0:27:310:27:34

Well, the strongest link has the deciding vote that's Linda.

0:27:340:27:39

-Why have you voted for Roger?

-I wanted to bank more, but there was never much for me to bank.

0:27:390:27:46

You have a choice between Billie-Jean and Roger.

0:27:460:27:49

I think I'll stay with my original choice.

0:27:490:27:53

Interestingly, statistically, the worst player was Richard.

0:27:530:27:59

It's votes that count. Roger, who clearly doesn't get out much, you are the Weakest Link. Goodbye.

0:27:590:28:06

I think Billie-Jean should have been voted off then.

0:28:120:28:15

She has been a weaker link earlier on.

0:28:150:28:19

I think the team will realise that and vote her off next time.

0:28:190:28:24

Round six, team. You've won £1,010.

0:28:250:28:29

If you'd been bright, you could have had £5,000 in the kitty.

0:28:290:28:35

Down to four players. Another ten seconds off your time.

0:28:350:28:39

We'll start with Linda. Let's play the Weakest Link.

0:30:550:31:01

You banked £130. Who clearly has only a nodding acquaintance with knowledge?

0:31:010:31:09

Time to vote off the Weakest Link.

0:31:090:31:12

With the most right answers, Tanya is the strongest link.

0:31:140:31:18

Billie-Jean is the Weakest Link, but she did bank the most money.

0:31:180:31:23

Will that be enough to save her?

0:31:230:31:26

Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the Weakest Link.

0:31:270:31:32

Billie-Jean.

0:31:320:31:33

Linda.

0:31:340:31:36

Richard.

0:31:360:31:37

Richard.

0:31:390:31:40

Tanya, why Richard?

0:31:420:31:44

I felt he lost us some money and wasn't performing very well.

0:31:440:31:49

-Billie-Jean, who's a lucky schoolmistress?

-I am.

0:31:490:31:54

-How many times have you got away luckily?

-Two.

-You can't count.

0:31:540:31:59

You've been the Weakest Link three times. Why Richard?

0:31:590:32:04

Apart from Tanya, we all had bad rounds,

0:32:040:32:07

-and he got several questions wrong.

-OK.

0:32:070:32:11

The worst player is Billie-Jean, but it's votes that count.

0:32:110:32:15

Richard, you are the Weakest Link. Goodbye.

0:32:150:32:18

Being voted off, I'm distraught. I thought I'd go all the way and win.

0:32:250:32:31

I'd like to see Linda voted off because she's wearing pink and I don't like pink.

0:32:310:32:36

Round seven, team.

0:32:360:32:38

£1,140 in the kitty.

0:32:380:32:43

Three females left. Another ten seconds off.

0:32:440:32:48

We start with the strongest link Tanya. Let's play the Weakest Link.

Linda. Which of the children of the Queen was...?

0:34:510:34:55

Time's up.

0:34:580:35:00

I cannot complete the question.

0:35:000:35:02

Would it have mattered if I had?

0:35:020:35:05

You only answered four questions correctly

0:35:050:35:08

and you banked absolutely zero, nothing, zilch.

0:35:080:35:12

In round eight, you get the chance to treble what you bank,

0:35:120:35:16

but it requires you to bank something in the first place.

0:35:160:35:21

Potentially, there's £3,000 to be won.

0:35:210:35:25

All women. Are they going to play clean or dirty?

0:35:250:35:30

It's time to vote off the Weakest Link.

0:35:300:35:32

As the team make their final vote, Linda is the strongest link again.

0:35:340:35:39

Billie-Jean remains the Weakest Link statistically,

0:35:390:35:43

but who will be taking the last walk of shame?

0:35:430:35:46

Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the Weakest Link.

0:35:480:35:52

Tanya.

0:35:530:35:54

Linda.

0:35:560:35:58

Linda.

0:35:590:36:01

Tanya, as a social worker, you have to be scrupulously fair?

0:36:020:36:06

I do.

0:36:060:36:08

So why are you voting off the strongest link from the last round?

0:36:080:36:12

I think overall she hasn't played very well,

0:36:120:36:16

and she needs to go back and collect her 50ps.

0:36:160:36:20

I think that's a great big porkie pie.

0:36:200:36:24

Billie-Jean, why Linda?

0:36:240:36:27

Well, I think Tanya's a winner

0:36:270:36:30

and I think Tanya's the person who's going to get the most money.

0:36:300:36:35

Statistically, you were the worst player, but it's votes that count.

0:36:350:36:41

Linda, you are the Weakest Link. Goodbye.

0:36:410:36:45

I'd want Billie-Jean to win. Tanya voted for me three times when I wasn't the Weakest Link.

0:36:510:36:57

I think Anne is lovely, and I'd like to send her some bridge tokens, so she can come over for free.

0:36:570:37:05

Round eight, and out of a possible £7,000 you've won £1,140.

0:37:050:37:11

Tanya and Billie-Jean, you have 90 seconds in this round,

0:37:110:37:16

but whatever you win will be trebled and added to your total.

0:37:160:37:19

£3,000 is at stake. You voted off the strongest link,

0:37:190:37:24

so we'll start with the second strongest Tanya.

0:39:080:39:14

Now you'll play head to head. Alternating questions. Best of five.

0:39:140:39:19

Whoever answers the most correctly wins.

0:39:190:39:23

If there's a tie after five, we'll go for sudden death.

0:39:230:39:26

So Tanya and Billie-Jean, for £1,350, let's play the Weakest Link.

0:39:260:39:32

Billie-Jean, as the strongest link in the last round,
