Here are our nine contestants

0:00:020:00:04

preparing for the show.

0:00:040:00:06

Only one of them will go home

0:00:060:00:08

with the prize money of £10,000.

0:00:080:00:10

The others will leave with nothing

0:00:100:00:13

as their team-mates vote them the weakest link.

0:00:130:00:16

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:290:00:31

Any of the nine people in the studio here today

0:00:330:00:37

could win up to £10,000.

0:00:370:00:39

They don't know each other.

0:00:390:00:41

If they want the prize money they'll have to work as a team

0:00:410:00:45

but eight of them will leave with nothing

0:00:450:00:48

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

0:00:480:00:52

Let's meet the team.

0:00:520:00:55

I'm Angela. I'm 45, an accounts clerk from Birmingham.

0:00:560:01:00

My name is Nicholas. I'm 29, a university lecturer from Belfast.

0:01:000:01:05

My name is Eileen. I'm 70 years old.

0:01:050:01:08

I'm retired and I live in Hitchin in Hertfordshire.

0:01:080:01:11

I'm Tony, 31, a franchise manager from London.

0:01:110:01:15

My name is Sarah. I'm 23, an air stewardess from Motspur Park in Surrey.

0:01:160:01:22

I'm Alf. I'm 50. I'm a college caretaker from Wallsend in north Tyneside.

0:01:220:01:27

I'm Heather. I'm 37 and I'm a company director from the Vale of Glamorgan.

0:01:270:01:32

I'm John. I'm a 63-year-old retired postal executive from Rutherglen in Lanarkshire.

0:01:320:01:40

My name is Gary. I'm a 20-year-old student from Manchester.

0:01:400:01:44

Now, the rules.

0:01:460:01:48

The aim is to answer enough questions correctly to reach your £1000

0:01:480:01:53

within the time limit.

0:01:530:01:55

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

0:01:550:01:59

Get one wrong and you break the chain

0:01:590:02:01

and lose all the money in that chain.

0:02:010:02:04

But if you bank before the question, the money is safe.

0:02:040:02:08

However, you must start a new chain.

0:02:080:02:10

Remember, at the end of the round

0:02:100:02:13

only money that has been banked can be taken forward.

0:02:130:02:17

In Round One, you get three minutes.

0:02:170:02:20

We start with the first alphabetically.

0:02:200:02:23

0:05:440:05:49

0:05:490:05:51

to be sufficient

0:05:510:05:54

to take them through the rounds ahead?

0:05:540:05:57

One of you will leave with nothing.

0:05:570:05:59

Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:05:590:06:02

After the first round, the statistics show that Heather is the strongest link.

0:06:030:06:09

Angela is the weakest and she was the only player to get two questions wrong.

0:06:090:06:14

Will the others have picked up on this?

0:06:140:06:17

OK, voting over.

0:06:190:06:21

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

0:06:210:06:25

Eileen,

0:06:460:06:48

not much of a fan of Debbie Harry, then?

Never heard of her.

0:06:500:06:52

-Oh. What sort of pop music do you like, then?

-None.

0:06:520:06:56

Right. That's going to be a problem, isn't it?

0:06:560:06:59

I'm afraid so, yes. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed.

0:06:590:07:03

Are you? Why Angela?

0:07:030:07:06

-She got questions wrong.

-Right.

0:07:060:07:08

Gary, how's it going for you?

0:07:080:07:10

-It's going very well, I think.

-Is it?

0:07:100:07:13

Why Angela?

0:07:130:07:15

She banked £300 but I passed on £200 which she lost.

0:07:150:07:20

She banked £400.

0:07:200:07:22

-Got a degree?

0:07:390:07:41

0:07:410:07:44

A PhD. And you don't know who Elizabeth Jagger's mother is?

0:07:440:07:48

I know her very well.

0:07:480:07:50

What did Angela do to upset you?

0:07:500:07:53

She banked when the chain was going quite nicely.

0:07:530:07:56

Well, Angela,

0:07:560:07:58

in fact, banked the most money but it was unanimous.

0:07:580:08:02

Angela, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:08:020:08:05

I should have got the one about the archbishop right. I did know that.

0:08:120:08:17

Why I said bishop I don't know.

0:08:170:08:19

I got one right but I did bank.

0:08:190:08:21

Somebody will be better off.

0:08:210:08:24

But it won't be me.

0:08:240:08:26

I think Eileen may go next.

0:08:260:08:28

She'll struggle on modern culture,

0:08:280:08:30

as she did in that round.

The correct answer was Selfridges.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:12:050:12:07

Heather is the strongest link.

0:12:100:12:12

She was the only one to get all her questions right.

0:12:120:12:15

The weakest link is Eileen, who got none of her questions right.

0:12:150:12:20

Who will lose out in the vote?

0:12:200:12:22

Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

0:12:240:12:28

Gary, why Eileen?

-She got two wrong.

-Right...

0:12:480:12:52

-She probably knows where Exeter is.

I must have missed one.

-Not too good, Anne.

-Why Eileen?

0:13:030:13:08

It was between Eileen and myself.

0:13:090:13:12

Being sort of egotistical, I didn't vote for myself.

0:13:140:13:17

Alf, why Eileen?

0:13:190:13:21

She got three questions wrong.

0:13:210:13:23

Right. Eileen, what happened to you?

0:13:230:13:26

I didn't know the answers.

0:13:260:13:29

With four votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:13:290:13:32

I'd hoped to get through to a few more rounds,

0:13:400:13:43

than being knocked off in Round Two.

0:13:430:13:46

But it's just luck what questions you get.

0:13:460:13:49

John will probably go next, or it might be Nicholas.

0:13:490:13:54

But he was next to me, and you don't notice that person

0:13:540:13:58

as much as the person opposite.

0:13:580:14:00

Round Three. You could have £2000.

0:14:030:14:05

In fact, you have in the bank just £920. Seven of you left.

0:14:050:14:10

We take ten more seconds off the clock.

Time is up. You banked £500 in that round.

0:17:020:17:05

But who is now several answers short

0:17:060:17:09

of what's needed in a game of general knowledge?

0:17:090:17:13

Who is beyond help?

0:17:130:17:15

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:17:150:17:18

For the third time in a row, Heather is the strongest link.

0:17:200:17:24

The weakest link is Gary, who got two questions wrong,

0:17:240:17:28

though he did bank some money.

0:17:280:17:30

Will it be enough to save him when it comes to the vote?

0:17:300:17:34

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

0:17:360:17:41

Tony, keep fit's one of your hobbies?

0:17:560:17:59

Yeah, when I can, yes.

0:17:590:18:02

Right. Not much of a golfer, though, are you?

0:18:020:18:06

Why Gary?

0:18:060:18:07

He got most of the questions wrong in that round.

0:18:070:18:11

-Right.

0:18:110:18:16

-Sarah, how's it going for you?

-OK.

0:18:160:18:19

-Not brilliant, but not bad.

0:18:190:18:22

Is art one of your hobbies?

0:18:220:18:24

-No.

-No, I thought not.

0:18:240:18:26

-Why Gary?

-Erm...

0:18:260:18:29

It's difficult to tell, but I think he got the most wrong, as far as I can remember.

0:18:290:18:35

Gary, when you leave Salford University, what are you going to do then?

0:18:350:18:40

First, I'm going to find out where Beirut is and Exeter.

0:18:400:18:44

Then I want to work in television.

0:18:440:18:46

You seem well-suited to television. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:18:470:18:52

I think the question about Exeter was the one I should have got right.

0:18:580:19:03

Everyone knows it's a city.

0:19:030:19:05

It's under the pressure and the lights

0:19:050:19:08

and Anne Robinson stood right next to you. It's very daunting.

0:19:080:19:13

You try your best to keep calm.

0:19:130:19:15

Round Four.

0:19:170:19:19

0:22:130:22:16

In that round, you only got £200. Who has lost their nerve?

Who is clearly not up to the standard of the rest of you?

0:22:200:22:24

Turf off the tiresome, dump the duffer.

0:22:240:22:27

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:22:270:22:31

Alf is the strongest link, as he was the only player to answer all his questions right.

0:22:320:22:38

The weakest link is John,

0:22:380:22:40

according to the statistics.

0:22:400:22:42

Will the other players have noticed?

0:22:420:22:45

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

0:22:470:22:51

Heather, not one of your finest rounds.

0:23:060:23:09

I was giving someone else the chance to be the strongest link.

0:23:090:23:14

What's John done to upset you?

0:23:140:23:16

He got a few questions wrong in that round.

0:23:160:23:19

-Only one more than you, Heather.

-It's still one more.

0:23:190:23:23

Tony, why John?

0:23:230:23:25

He probably got one more wrong than I did, I guess.

0:23:250:23:29

You do a lot of guessing.

0:23:290:23:31

-John, did you leave your brain in Glasgow?

-I didn't have one to leave.

0:23:310:23:37

Just as well. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:23:370:23:40

I'm not too disappointed to be voted off,

0:23:470:23:49

because I think I deserved it. I'm disappointed with my performance.

0:23:490:23:55

Thoroughly deserved.

0:23:550:23:57

I think either Tony or Sarah will be voted off next.

0:23:570:24:01

I think Tony's very hesitant at some of the answers.

0:24:010:24:05

Sarah, I think her nerves are playing a wee bit.

0:24:050:24:08

Round Five.

Five of you left. Ten seconds off the time. We start with the strongest link.

0:24:180:24:24

Alf. Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:26:530:26:55

The correct answer was Sam Mendes. After all that work,

0:26:550:26:59

you banked a disappointing £70.

0:26:590:27:03

Let me remind you.

0:27:030:27:05

She who stumbles should not survive.

0:27:050:27:08

He who hesitates deserves a hard time.

0:27:080:27:10

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:27:100:27:14

Alf is for the second time the strongest link.

0:27:160:27:19

The weakest link is Sarah, who answered no questions correctly,

0:27:190:27:24

although she did bank some money. How will the voting go?

0:27:240:27:28

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

0:27:300:27:35

Tony, why Sarah?

0:27:470:27:49

I think it was a pretty sad round for all of us but...

0:27:490:27:54

-Sarah may have got more wrong than the rest.

-Heather,

0:27:540:27:57

you said you'd give somebody else a chance

0:27:570:28:00

to be the strongest link. You've given them another chance now.

0:28:000:28:05

-Share and share alike.

-Why Sarah?

-She got more wrong.

0:28:050:28:09

-Have you gone a bit shaky?

-A bit.

-With three votes,

0:28:100:28:14

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:28:140:28:17

I think Anne makes people feel a bit more nervous.

0:28:220:28:26

She has an effect on how people answer. They might know if they were at home.

0:28:260:28:31

I don't think tactics have been used up to now...

0:28:310:28:35

But with Alf and Heather left they're doing well.

0:28:350:28:39

The other two might gang up and vote them off.

0:28:390:28:42

Round Six. You've won £1690 out of a possible £5000. Four of you left.

0:28:450:28:51

Ten more seconds off your time. We start with the strongest link from last time Alf.

0:28:510:28:56

Time is up. You're getting worse.

0:31:140:31:17

You banked just £170 in that round.

0:31:170:31:22

Who, now, is truly past their best?

0:31:220:31:24

Who is throwing away everyone else's money?

0:31:240:31:28

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:31:280:31:31

Again, Alf is the strongest link, having answered all of his questions correctly.

0:31:310:31:38

Although he banked money, Nicholas is the weakest link.

0:31:380:31:42

He answered all of his questions incorrectly.

0:31:420:31:45

Who will the team decide to vote off?

0:31:450:31:48

Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

0:31:500:31:55

Alf, why Nicholas?

0:32:060:32:08

-He had a poor couple of rounds and got a few wrong this time.

-Right... ..Tony?

0:32:080:32:14

-Yes.

0:32:150:32:19

-And you don't know what the mafia are called.

-I thought they were Corleone. Sorry.

0:32:190:32:25

-The answer's no. You didn't know.

-No, I didn't know that one.

0:32:250:32:29

Why Nicholas?

0:32:290:32:31

I don't think he got many right and he was the weakest link

0:32:310:32:36

-in that round.

-Nicholas, 11 O-levels,

0:32:360:32:39

7 A-levels.

0:32:390:32:41

A degree, a PhD.

0:32:410:32:43

You're too bright for us. You are the weakest link.

0:32:430:32:46

Goodbye.

0:32:460:32:49

At the start it was tense, nerves were high.

0:32:550:32:58

As the game progressed I was finding my feet. And then...

0:32:580:33:02

A stinker of a round came and knocked me over.

0:33:020:33:06

I think Tony will go next

0:33:060:33:08

purely because he doesn't have as in-depth a knowledge as Heather or Alf.

0:33:080:33:14

Round Seven. You have

0:33:160:33:18

£1860 out of the £6000 you could have won. Three of you left.

That is the correct answer.

Time is up.

0:35:340:35:36

And you banked £60.

0:35:370:35:40

Hardly spectacular.

0:35:410:35:43

Pretty pathetic.

0:35:450:35:46

In Round Eight, you can treble what you bank.

0:35:460:35:50

Potentially, there's £3000 to be won. The question is,

0:35:500:35:54

whose day is now done?

0:35:540:35:56

Who are you going to dump?

0:35:560:35:58

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:35:580:36:01

Again, Heather is the strongest link.

0:36:030:36:06

But in a sudden loss of form, Alf is now the weakest link.

0:36:060:36:11

So what factors will the team take into account at this crucial stage of the game?

0:36:110:36:17

Voting over. Time to reveal

0:36:190:36:21

who you think is the weakest link.

0:36:210:36:23

Heather, that's an interesting choice.

0:36:320:36:35

It's purely tactical.

0:36:350:36:38

Right.

0:36:380:36:41

Nothing more to say.

0:36:410:36:43

Tony, why Alf?

0:36:450:36:47

He had strong rounds before but he had a bad one that time.

0:36:470:36:51

So he seemed to be the weakest link.

0:36:510:36:54

He's had a better game overall than you.

0:36:540:36:56

< Oh, yeah.

0:36:560:36:58

Alf,

0:36:580:37:00

you're the weakest link in this round.

0:37:000:37:02

You were strongest overall but it's votes that count.

0:37:020:37:06

You ARE the weakest link.

0:37:060:37:08

Goodbye.

0:37:080:37:11

I'm very disappointed, being voted off.

0:37:160:37:19

It wasn't a good round for me, I know,

0:37:190:37:22

but overall I was the strongest link,

0:37:220:37:25

over all the game.

0:37:250:37:27

I thought I'd get to the final and win the money.

0:37:270:37:31

Heather and Tony voted me off. They were scared.

0:37:310:37:34

Round Eight.

0:37:360:37:38

You've got £1920 in the bank out of a possible £7000.

0:37:380:37:41

Tony and Heather,

0:37:410:37:43

just the two of you left and this time you have only 90 seconds.

0:37:430:37:48

But whatever you win here will be trebled and added to your total to make up your prize money.

0:37:480:37:55

£3000 is at stake in this round.

0:37:550:37:57

We'll start with the last strongest link Heather.

0:37:570:38:01

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Denmark.

0:39:350:39:37

The time is up.

0:39:390:39:41

You managed to win just £90.

0:39:410:39:43

We'll treble that and add it to the winnings so far.

0:39:430:39:47

That means prize money today of £2190.

0:39:470:39:50

But only one of you can take that money away.

0:39:540:39:57

So now you'll be playing head-to-head.

0:39:570:40:00

I'll ask alternate questions, best of five.

0:40:000:40:03

Whoever gets the most right wins.

0:40:030:40:06

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

0:40:060:40:10

until we have a winner. So, Tony and Heather,

0:40:100:40:14

for £2190, let's play The Weakest Link.

0:40:140:40:18

Tony was the strongest link last time. He chooses who starts.

0:40:200:40:24

by Karl Nesler?

0:43:120:43:14

The perm?

0:43:160:43:19

That is the correct answer.

0:43:190:43:21

That means,

0:43:230:43:25

Heather, you are today's strongest link and you go away with £2190.

0:43:250:43:30

Tony, you leave with nothing.

0:43:310:43:33

Join us again for The Weakest Link. Goodbye.

0:43:340:43:37

I was lucky with the questions

0:43:380:43:40

and maybe I was done a service by having to go first.

0:43:400:43:44

I expected to be a bit nervous playing the game,

0:43:440:43:47

with the lights and cameras,

0:43:470:43:50

but thought, "I'm here for a laugh. How far can I go?"

0:43:500:43:53

I played better because of that.

0:43:530:43:55

I didn't expect to win.

0:43:550:43:58

I hoped to get far enough so that my friends couldn't take the mickey out of me.
