Of the nine contestants preparing for today's show, | 0:00:01 | 0:00:04 | |
only one can take home the prize money of up to £10,000. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:08 | |
The rest will leave with nothing, | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
as one by one, they're voted off as the Weakest Link. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:15 | |
Welcome to the Weakest Link. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
Any of the nine people in the studio today | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
could win up to £10,000 | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
They don't know each other, but if they want the prize money, | 0:00:37 | 0:00:41 | |
they'll have to work as a team. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
But eight of them will leave with nothing, | 0:00:43 | 0:00:47 | |
as round by round we lose the player voted the Weakest Link. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:51 | |
Let's meet the team. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:53 | |
I'm David. I'm 22 from Newcastle and I'm a billing assistant. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:58 | |
I'm Linda, 59, from Southampton, and I'm a toll bridge collector. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:05 | |
My name is Richard. I'm 36, from Plymouth, and I'm a Macmillan Nurse. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:10 | |
I'm Angela. I'm 49, from Milton Keynes, and I work as a sales clerk. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:16 | |
My name's Tanya. I'm 35. I'm a social worker and I live in London. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:22 | |
My name is Paul. I'm 46 from Borehamwood, Herts, | 0:01:23 | 0:01:27 | |
and I'm an accounts manager. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
My name is Billie-Jean. I'm 27 from Yorkshire, and I'm a teacher. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:35 | |
I'm Roger. I'm 60 from Middlesex and I'm a charities consultant. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
My name is Bob. I'm 54. I'm from Chorley in Lancashire | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
and I'm a caravan repair technician. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
In each round, the aim is to answer enough questions correctly | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
to reach your £1,000 target within the time limit. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
The fastest way is to create a chain of nine correct answers. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:00 | |
Get your question wrong and you break the chain and lose the money. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:05 | |
If you say "Bank" the money is safe, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
but you start a new chain from scratch. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
Only money that has been banked can be taken forward. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:18 | |
In round one, you have three minutes. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
We'll start with the person whose name is first alphabetically. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
That's you, Angela. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |

You banked the tragically small amount of £200, | 0:05:37 | 0:05:42 | |
despite the fact, team, | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
that in that first round, you managed to answer 11 questions correctly in a row. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:52 | |
It also means you have some members of the team | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |

It's time to vote off The Weakest Link. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |

Why Paul? | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
The question he got wrong about the French flag, I thought that was quite easy. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:36 | |
OK. Paul, who's done nothing to improve the boring image of Borehamwood... | 0:07:36 | 0:07:43 | |
you are The Weakest Link. Goodbye. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:47 | |

But who is top of the flops? One of you is about to leave with nothing. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:29 | |

but interestingly apart from David, who's going | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
no one noticed. David, you are the Weakest Link. Goodbye. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:11 | |
It's disappointing to go when you're not the Weakest Link, | 0:13:17 | 0:13:21 | |
and I was the only one who noticed Billie-Jean was. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |

you are the Weakest Link. Goodbye. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
Angela should be here instead of me. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:38 | |

But it was a miserable performance nevertheless. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:47 | |
Just £20. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
Who's not the brightest bear in the woods? It's time to vote off the Weakest Link. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:56 | |

For the second time, Billie-Jean is the Weakest Link. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:04 | |
Can she survive another vote? | 0:22:04 | 0:22:06 | |
Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the Weakest Link. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:12 | |
Angela. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
Linda. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:17 | |
Billie-Jean. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
Angela. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:21 | |
Linda. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
Angela. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
So, Linda, why Angela? | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
Because she got some wrong and she lost money. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:35 | |

Well, interestingly, | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |

But only Angela, who's leaving, noticed. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:56 | |
Angela, you are the Weakest Link. Goodbye. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
The team voted me off that time | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
because I broke the chain | 0:23:08 | 0:23:10 | |
the chain that we agreed we'd go to, then bank. I blew it. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:15 | |
I would like to see Billie-Jean off. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
She's been the Weakest Link twice, | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
and I don't think she's as clever as she thinks she is. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:25 | |

Time's up. You banked £70. | 0:26:11 | 0:26:14 | |
It will be difficult to choose who to lose | 0:26:14 | 0:26:18 | |

To whom will I not be asking another question? | 0:26:21 | 0:26:25 | |
It's time to vote off the Weakest Link. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:28 | |

Richard is the Weakest Link, but who will the team want off? | 0:26:36 | 0:26:40 | |
Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the Weakest Link. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:45 | |
Roger. | 0:26:45 | 0:26:47 | |
Billie-Jean. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:49 | |
Linda. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:51 | |
Roger. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:54 | |
Billie-Jean. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:55 | |
We have a tie, team. Billie-Jean and Roger have two votes each. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:03 | |
Roger, why Billie-Jean? | 0:27:03 | 0:27:06 | |
I think she's been weak earlier on | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
and has answered quite a few wrong. | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
-Do you just not like women? -Do I not like women? | 0:27:12 | 0:27:16 | |
Oh, I do. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:17 | |

-Why Roger? -A bit pedantic, really. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
When I got my final question correct, we had very few seconds to go, | 0:27:25 | 0:27:31 | |
and I wanted him to say "Bank". | 0:27:31 | 0:27:34 | |
Well, the strongest link has the deciding vote that's Linda. | 0:27:34 | 0:27:39 | |
-Why have you voted for Roger? -I wanted to bank more, but there was never much for me to bank. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:46 | |
You have a choice between Billie-Jean and Roger. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:49 | |
I think I'll stay with my original choice. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:53 | |
Interestingly, statistically, the worst player was Richard. | 0:27:53 | 0:27:59 | |
It's votes that count. Roger, who clearly doesn't get out much, you are the Weakest Link. Goodbye. | 0:27:59 | 0:28:06 | |
I think Billie-Jean should have been voted off then. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:15 | |
She has been a weaker link earlier on. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:19 | |
I think the team will realise that and vote her off next time. | 0:28:19 | 0:28:24 | |
Round six, team. You've won £1,010. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:29 | |
If you'd been bright, you could have had £5,000 in the kitty. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:35 | |
Down to four players. Another ten seconds off your time. | 0:28:35 | 0:28:39 | |

Introduced to complement A levels, for what does the S stand in AS level? | 0:30:50 | 0:30:55 | |

With the most right answers, Tanya is the strongest link. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:18 | |
Billie-Jean is the Weakest Link, but she did bank the most money. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:23 | |
Will that be enough to save her? | 0:31:23 | 0:31:26 | |

Richard. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:37 | |
Richard. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:40 | |
Tanya, why Richard? | 0:31:42 | 0:31:44 | |
I felt he lost us some money and wasn't performing very well. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:49 | |
-Billie-Jean, who's a lucky schoolmistress? -I am. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:54 | |
-How many times have you got away luckily? -Two. -You can't count. | 0:31:54 | 0:31:59 | |
You've been the Weakest Link three times. Why Richard? | 0:31:59 | 0:32:04 | |
Apart from Tanya, we all had bad rounds, | 0:32:04 | 0:32:07 | |
-and he got several questions wrong. -OK. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:11 | |
The worst player is Billie-Jean, but it's votes that count. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:15 | |
Richard, you are the Weakest Link. Goodbye. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:18 | |
Being voted off, I'm distraught. I thought I'd go all the way and win. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:31 | |
I'd like to see Linda voted off because she's wearing pink and I don't like pink. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:36 | |
Round seven, team. | 0:32:36 | 0:32:38 | |
£1,140 in the kitty. | 0:32:38 | 0:32:43 | |

Linda. Which of the children of the Queen was...? | 0:34:51 | 0:34:55 | |
Time's up. | 0:34:58 | 0:35:00 | |
I cannot complete the question. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:02 | |
Would it have mattered if I had? | 0:35:02 | 0:35:05 | |
You only answered four questions correctly | 0:35:05 | 0:35:08 | |
and you banked absolutely zero, nothing, zilch. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:12 | |
In round eight, you get the chance to treble what you bank, | 0:35:12 | 0:35:16 | |
but it requires you to bank something in the first place. | 0:35:16 | 0:35:21 | |
Potentially, there's £3,000 to be won. | 0:35:21 | 0:35:25 | |
All women. Are they going to play clean or dirty? | 0:35:25 | 0:35:30 | |
It's time to vote off the Weakest Link. | 0:35:30 | 0:35:32 | |
As the team make their final vote, Linda is the strongest link again. | 0:35:34 | 0:35:39 | |
Billie-Jean remains the Weakest Link statistically, | 0:35:39 | 0:35:43 | |
but who will be taking the last walk of shame? | 0:35:43 | 0:35:46 | |
Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the Weakest Link. | 0:35:48 | 0:35:52 | |
Tanya. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:54 | |
Linda. | 0:35:56 | 0:35:58 | |
Linda. | 0:35:59 | 0:36:01 | |
Tanya, as a social worker, you have to be scrupulously fair? | 0:36:02 | 0:36:06 | |
I do. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:08 | |
So why are you voting off the strongest link from the last round? | 0:36:08 | 0:36:12 | |
I think overall she hasn't played very well, | 0:36:12 | 0:36:16 | |
and she needs to go back and collect her 50ps. | 0:36:16 | 0:36:20 | |
I think that's a great big porkie pie. | 0:36:20 | 0:36:24 | |
Billie-Jean, why Linda? | 0:36:24 | 0:36:27 | |
Well, I think Tanya's a winner | 0:36:27 | 0:36:30 | |
and I think Tanya's the person who's going to get the most money. | 0:36:30 | 0:36:35 | |
Statistically, you were the worst player, but it's votes that count. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:41 | |
Linda, you are the Weakest Link. Goodbye. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:45 | |
I'd want Billie-Jean to win. Tanya voted for me three times when I wasn't the Weakest Link. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:57 | |
I think Anne is lovely, and I'd like to send her some bridge tokens, so she can come over for free. | 0:36:57 | 0:37:05 | |
Round eight, and out of a possible £7,000 you've won £1,140. | 0:37:05 | 0:37:11 | |
Tanya and Billie-Jean, you have 90 seconds in this round, | 0:37:11 | 0:37:16 | |
but whatever you win will be trebled and added to your total. | 0:37:16 | 0:37:19 | |
£3,000 is at stake. You voted off the strongest link, | 0:37:19 | 0:37:24 | |
so we'll start with the second strongest Tanya. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:27 | |

That's a prize money of £1,350, but only one of you can take it home. | 0:39:08 | 0:39:14 | |
Now you'll play head to head. Alternating questions. Best of five. | 0:39:14 | 0:39:19 | |
Whoever answers the most correctly wins. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:23 | |
If there's a tie after five, we'll go for sudden death. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:26 | |
