Here are our nine contestants | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
preparing for the show. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
Only one of them will go home | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
with the prize money of £10,000. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
The others will leave with nothing | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
as their team-mates vote them the weakest link. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
Welcome to The Weakest Link. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
Any of the nine people in the studio here today | 0:00:33 | 0:00:37 | |
could win up to £10,000. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
They don't know each other. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:41 | |
If they want the prize money they'll have to work as a team | 0:00:41 | 0:00:45 | |
but eight of them will leave with nothing | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
as round by round we lose the player voted the weakest link. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:52 | |
Let's meet the team. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
I'm Angela. I'm 45, an accounts clerk from Birmingham. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:00 | |
My name is Nicholas. I'm 29, a university lecturer from Belfast. | 0:01:00 | 0:01:05 | |
My name is Eileen. I'm 70 years old. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
I'm retired and I live in Hitchin in Hertfordshire. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:11 | |
I'm Tony, 31, a franchise manager from London. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
My name is Sarah. I'm 23, an air stewardess from Motspur Park in Surrey. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:22 | |
I'm Alf. I'm 50. I'm a college caretaker from Wallsend in north Tyneside. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:27 | |
I'm Heather. I'm 37 and I'm a company director from the Vale of Glamorgan. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:32 | |
I'm John. I'm a 63-year-old retired postal executive from Rutherglen in Lanarkshire. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:40 | |
My name is Gary. I'm a 20-year-old student from Manchester. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
Now, the rules. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
The aim is to answer enough questions correctly to reach your £1000 | 0:01:48 | 0:01:53 | |
within the time limit. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
The fastest way is to create a chain of nine answers. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
Get one wrong and you break the chain | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
and lose all the money in that chain. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
But if you bank before the question, the money is safe. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:08 | |
However, you must start a new chain. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
Remember, at the end of the round | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
only money that has been banked can be taken forward. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
In Round One, you get three minutes. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
We start with the first alphabetically. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |

Whose knowledge does not appear | 0:05:49 | 0:05:51 | |

to take them through the rounds ahead? | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
One of you will leave with nothing. | 0:05:57 | 0:05:59 | |
Time to vote off the weakest link. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
After the first round, the statistics show that Heather is the strongest link. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:09 | |
Angela is the weakest and she was the only player to get two questions wrong. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:14 | |
Will the others have picked up on this? | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
OK, voting over. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
Eileen, | 0:06:46 | 0:06:48 | |
not much of a fan of Debbie Harry, then? | 0:06:48 | 0:06:50 | |
Never heard of her. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
-Oh. What sort of pop music do you like, then? -None. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:56 | |
Right. That's going to be a problem, isn't it? | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
I'm afraid so, yes. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:03 | |
Are you? Why Angela? | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
-She got questions wrong. -Right. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
Gary, how's it going for you? | 0:07:08 | 0:07:10 | |
-It's going very well, I think. -Is it? | 0:07:10 | 0:07:13 | |
Why Angela? | 0:07:13 | 0:07:15 | |
She banked £300 but I passed on £200 which she lost. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:20 | |
She banked £400. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:22 | |
Oh, I didn't know. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
What do you do? | 0:07:24 | 0:07:26 | |
-I'm a student. -Are you? What are you studying? | 0:07:26 | 0:07:29 | |
-Media technology. -Oh, dear! | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |

-How many? -Seven. -Got a degree? | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
A PhD. | 0:07:41 | 0:07:44 | |
A PhD. And you don't know who Elizabeth Jagger's mother is? | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
I know her very well. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:50 | |
What did Angela do to upset you? | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
She banked when the chain was going quite nicely. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
Well, Angela, | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
in fact, banked the most money but it was unanimous. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
Angela, you are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
I should have got the one about the archbishop right. I did know that. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:17 | |
Why I said bishop I don't know. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
I got one right but I did bank. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:21 | |
Somebody will be better off. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
But it won't be me. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:26 | |
I think Eileen may go next. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:28 | |
She'll struggle on modern culture, | 0:08:28 | 0:08:30 | |
as she did in that round. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
Round Two. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:36 | |
You've won £650 so far out of a possible £1000. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |

Just £270, team, banked in that round. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:52 | |

It's time to vote off the weakest link. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
Heather is the strongest link. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
She was the only one to get all her questions right. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
The weakest link is Eileen, who got none of her questions right. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:20 | |
Who will lose out in the vote? | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:28 | |
Gary, why Eileen? | 0:12:46 | 0:12:48 | |
-She got two wrong. -Right... | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
-She probably knows where Exeter is. -I think so. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
She got three wrong, actually. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
I must have missed one. | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
Geography and counting aren't among your skills. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:03 | |
-John, how's it going for you? -Not too good, Anne. -Why Eileen? | 0:13:03 | 0:13:08 | |
It was between Eileen and myself. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
Being sort of egotistical, I didn't vote for myself. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:17 | |
Alf, why Eileen? | 0:13:19 | 0:13:21 | |
She got three questions wrong. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:23 | |
Right. Eileen, what happened to you? | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
I didn't know the answers. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
With four votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
I'd hoped to get through to a few more rounds, | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
than being knocked off in Round Two. | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
But it's just luck what questions you get. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
John will probably go next, or it might be Nicholas. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:54 | |
But he was next to me, and you don't notice that person | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
as much as the person opposite. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
Round Three. You could have £2000. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
In fact, you have in the bank just £920. Seven of you left. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:10 | |
We take ten more seconds off the clock. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:13 | |
The strongest link was Heather. Let's play The Weakest Link. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:18 | |
Start the clock. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:20 | |

Time is up. You're getting worse. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:17 | |
You banked just £170 in that round. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:22 | |

Again, Alf is the strongest link, having answered all of his questions correctly. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:38 | |
Although he banked money, Nicholas is the weakest link. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:42 | |
He answered all of his questions incorrectly. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:45 | |
Who will the team decide to vote off? | 0:31:45 | 0:31:48 | |
Voting over. Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:55 | |
Alf, why Nicholas? | 0:32:06 | 0:32:08 | |
-He had a poor couple of rounds and got a few wrong this time. -Right... ..Tony? | 0:32:08 | 0:32:14 | |
-You've got a degree in Criminal Justice, have you? -Yes. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:19 | |
-And you don't know what the mafia are called. -I thought they were Corleone. Sorry. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:25 | |
-The answer's no. You didn't know. -No, I didn't know that one. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:29 | |
Why Nicholas? | 0:32:29 | 0:32:31 | |
I don't think he got many right and he was the weakest link | 0:32:31 | 0:32:36 | |
-in that round. -Nicholas, 11 O-levels, | 0:32:36 | 0:32:39 | |
7 A-levels. | 0:32:39 | 0:32:41 | |
A degree, a PhD. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:43 | |
You're too bright for us. You are the weakest link. | 0:32:43 | 0:32:46 | |
Goodbye. | 0:32:46 | 0:32:49 | |
At the start it was tense, nerves were high. | 0:32:55 | 0:32:58 | |
As the game progressed I was finding my feet. And then... | 0:32:58 | 0:33:02 | |
A stinker of a round came and knocked me over. | 0:33:02 | 0:33:06 | |
I think Tony will go next | 0:33:06 | 0:33:08 | |
purely because he doesn't have as in-depth a knowledge as Heather or Alf. | 0:33:08 | 0:33:14 | |
Round Seven. You have | 0:33:16 | 0:33:18 | |
£1860 out of the £6000 you could have won. Three of you left. | 0:33:18 | 0:33:22 | |
Another ten seconds off the clock. We start with last time's strongest link Alf. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:28 | |

Adonis. | 0:35:31 | 0:35:32 | |
That is the correct answer. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:34 | |
Time is up. | 0:35:34 | 0:35:36 | |
And you banked £60. | 0:35:37 | 0:35:40 | |
Hardly spectacular. | 0:35:41 | 0:35:43 | |
Pretty pathetic. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:46 | |
In Round Eight, you can treble what you bank. | 0:35:46 | 0:35:50 | |
Potentially, there's £3000 to be won. The question is, | 0:35:50 | 0:35:54 | |
whose day is now done? | 0:35:54 | 0:35:56 | |
Who are you going to dump? | 0:35:56 | 0:35:58 | |
It's time to vote off the weakest link. | 0:35:58 | 0:36:01 | |
Again, Heather is the strongest link. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:06 | |
But in a sudden loss of form, Alf is now the weakest link. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:11 | |
So what factors will the team take into account at this crucial stage of the game? | 0:36:11 | 0:36:17 | |
Voting over. Time to reveal | 0:36:19 | 0:36:21 | |
who you think is the weakest link. | 0:36:21 | 0:36:23 | |
Heather, that's an interesting choice. | 0:36:32 | 0:36:35 | |
It's purely tactical. | 0:36:35 | 0:36:38 | |
Right. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:41 | |
Nothing more to say. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:43 | |
Tony, why Alf? | 0:36:45 | 0:36:47 | |
He had strong rounds before but he had a bad one that time. | 0:36:47 | 0:36:51 | |
So he seemed to be the weakest link. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:54 | |
He's had a better game overall than you. | 0:36:54 | 0:36:56 | |
< Oh, yeah. | 0:36:56 | 0:36:58 | |
Alf, | 0:36:58 | 0:37:00 | |
you're the weakest link in this round. | 0:37:00 | 0:37:02 | |
You were strongest overall but it's votes that count. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:06 | |
You ARE the weakest link. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:08 | |
Goodbye. | 0:37:08 | 0:37:11 | |
I'm very disappointed, being voted off. | 0:37:16 | 0:37:19 | |
It wasn't a good round for me, I know, | 0:37:19 | 0:37:22 | |
but overall I was the strongest link, | 0:37:22 | 0:37:25 | |
over all the game. | 0:37:25 | 0:37:27 | |
I thought I'd get to the final and win the money. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:31 | |
Heather and Tony voted me off. They were scared. | 0:37:31 | 0:37:34 | |
Round Eight. | 0:37:36 | 0:37:38 | |
You've got £1920 in the bank out of a possible £7000. | 0:37:38 | 0:37:41 | |
Tony and Heather, | 0:37:41 | 0:37:43 | |
just the two of you left and this time you have only 90 seconds. | 0:37:43 | 0:37:48 | |
But whatever you win here will be trebled and added to your total to make up your prize money. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:55 | |
£3000 is at stake in this round. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:57 | |
We'll start with the last strongest link Heather. | 0:37:57 | 0:38:01 | |
Let's play The Weakest Link. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:03 | |
Start the clock. | 0:38:04 | 0:38:06 | |

The time is up. | 0:39:39 | 0:39:41 | |
You managed to win just £90. | 0:39:41 | 0:39:43 | |
We'll treble that and add it to the winnings so far. | 0:39:43 | 0:39:47 | |
That means prize money today of £2190. | 0:39:47 | 0:39:50 | |
But only one of you can take that money away. | 0:39:54 | 0:39:57 | |
So now you'll be playing head-to-head. | 0:39:57 | 0:40:00 | |
I'll ask alternate questions, best of five. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:03 | |
Whoever gets the most right wins. | 0:40:03 | 0:40:06 | |
If there's a tie after five, we'll go for sudden death, | 0:40:06 | 0:40:10 | |
until we have a winner. So, Tony and Heather, | 0:40:10 | 0:40:14 | |
for £2190, let's play The Weakest Link. | 0:40:14 | 0:40:18 | |

I was lucky with the questions | 0:43:38 | 0:43:40 | |
and maybe I was done a service by having to go first. | 0:43:40 | 0:43:44 | |
I expected to be a bit nervous playing the game, | 0:43:44 | 0:43:47 | |
with the lights and cameras, | 0:43:47 | 0:43:50 | |
but thought, "I'm here for a laugh. How far can I go?" | 0:43:50 | 0:43:53 | |
I played better because of that. | 0:43:53 | 0:43:55 | |
I didn't expect to win. | 0:43:55 | 0:43:58 | |
I hoped to get far enough so that my friends couldn't take the mickey out of me. | 0:43:58 | 0:44:03 | |
