Of the nine people here today,

0:00:010:00:03

only one will take home the prize money

0:00:030:00:07

of up to £10,000. The rest will win nothing,

0:00:070:00:10

when their team-mates vote them

0:00:100:00:12

The Weakest Link.

0:00:120:00:14

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:290:00:31

Any of the nine people in the studio here today

0:00:330:00:36

could win up to £10,000.

0:00:360:00:38

They don't know each other.

0:00:390:00:41

However, if they want the prize money, they'll have to work as a team.

0:00:410:00:46

But eight of them will leave with nothing,

0:00:460:00:49

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

0:00:490:00:54

Let's meet the team.

0:00:540:00:56

I'm Dean, a 22-year-old fitness instructor from Merseyside.

0:00:560:01:01

My name's Linda, a 50-year-old student living in Port Patrick.

0:01:010:01:06

I'm Craig, I'm 40, a financial adviser from Martock in Somerset.

0:01:060:01:10

I'm Irmgard from Bromley in Kent. I'm 61 and I'm retired.

0:01:100:01:14

I'm Kate, I'm 38, and a learning support worker.

0:01:140:01:19

My name is Hugh. I'm 58.

0:01:200:01:22

I live in Congleton in Cheshire, and I'm retired.

0:01:220:01:27

I'm Tabbi, I'm 23, and I'm a drama and music student from East London.

0:01:270:01:32

Steve, a 32-year-old sales team leader from Peterborough.

0:01:330:01:37

I'm Janice, I'm 51 and I'm a cook from Darlington, Co Durham.

0:01:370:01:42

Now the rules. In each round, the aim

0:01:440:01:46

is to get enough questions right to meet your £1000 target ON TIME!

0:01:460:01:51

The fastest way is to create a chain

0:01:510:01:54

of nine correct answers.

0:01:540:01:56

Get your question wrong,

0:01:560:01:59

you break the chain and lose all the money in it.

0:01:590:02:02

But say "Bank" before I ask the question

0:02:020:02:05

and the money is safe.

0:02:050:02:07

BUT you start a new chain from scratch. Remember,

0:02:070:02:12

at the end of a round only banked money can go forward.

0:02:120:02:15

Round 1: three minutes on the clock.

0:05:340:05:42

Who is clearly not overburdened with either intelligence or memory?

0:05:420:05:48

Who now leaves with nothing? Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:05:480:05:52

After a very close first round,

0:05:550:05:57

Craig is the strongest link. The weakest is Irmgard.

0:05:570:06:01

But have the others picked this up?

0:06:010:06:03

OK, time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

0:06:040:06:08

Linda, why Irmgard?

0:06:330:06:35

Because I thought she hesitated somewhat and...um...

0:06:350:06:40

I felt she was the weakest link.

0:06:410:06:43

Kate, what do you do for a living?

0:06:430:06:46

0:07:110:07:13

-I try to.

-Not very well. She only got one wrong.

0:07:130:07:16

But, Irmgard, statistically you were the worst player.

0:07:160:07:20

And with four votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:07:200:07:24

When I go home today I'll be cross with myself. Well, I already am.

0:07:310:07:35

I think I should have got a bit further.

0:07:350:07:38

The question I got wrong about the maggot was so stupid. It was easy.

0:07:380:07:43

When Anne said Maggot I said to myself, "You silly woman."

0:07:430:07:47

Round 2. You've won £600 out of a possible £1000.

0:07:480:07:53

We now take ten seconds off the clock.

0:11:070:11:13

One of you will leave with nothing. Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:11:190:11:23

Hugh is the weakest link statistically, but how will the voting go?

0:11:230:11:28

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

Linda,

With six votes you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think Linda will be the next off, because she was just behind me.

0:16:230:16:27

Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:16:270:16:30

This time Linda is the strongest link.

0:16:320:16:34

Dean only got one question correct, making him the weakest link.

0:16:340:16:39

But will the voting follow the facts?

0:16:390:16:42

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

0:16:420:16:46

Craig,

0:17:060:17:08

-why Kate?

-She's costing us all money, as simple as that.

0:17:080:17:13

We're here to get as much as possible. She's costing us money.

0:17:130:17:17

-You know. You're a financial adviser.

-I keep an eye on the pennies.

0:17:170:17:22

Linda, what happened to you there?

0:17:220:17:25

I answered all the questions right. I don't know what happened.

0:17:250:17:29

I must have switched something on.

0:17:290:17:32

-Keep your finger on it, whatever it is.

-I will.

0:17:320:17:35

Why Kate?

0:17:350:17:37

Because I don't think Kate answered any questions right.

0:17:370:17:42

I hope we're not relying on your counting later.

0:17:420:17:46

She got two questions right.

0:17:460:17:48

-Dean, what do you do?

-A fitness instructor.

0:17:480:17:51

Are you? And how do you qualify for that? Do you do a few press-ups?

0:17:510:17:56

-No, no. I've got a degree.

-You've got a degree! Well!

0:17:560:18:00

And what's your degree in?

0:18:000:18:02

-Sport.

-And you've never heard of photosynthesis.

0:18:020:18:06

-It slipped my mind.

-Right. Why Kate?

0:18:060:18:09

I can't vote for myself and Kate's round was nearly as bad as mine.

0:18:090:18:14

-And you don't need grammar to be a fitness instructor.

-In parts.

0:18:140:18:18

Dean, you were the worst player but, Kate,

0:18:180:18:22

who, amazingly, is a learning support worker, with a degree also,

0:18:220:18:28

with four votes, is the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:18:290:18:33

I think I'll get a lot of ribbing from the children at school, because they're doing their SATS tests

0:18:400:18:47

and there were a few maths questions I got wrong.

0:18:470:18:51

I'd like a woman to win. I like women to win things over men.

0:18:510:18:55

Round Four. £1180 banked so far. There are six of you left.

0:18:560:19:02

We are taking ten seconds off the time. You have 2½ minutes.

0:19:020:19:06

We'll start with the strongest link. That's Linda.

0:19:060:19:11

Let's play The Weakest Link.

-New Faces. In 1903, the USA...

0:21:420:21:45

Time is up.

0:21:470:21:49

And you're getting worse, not better. In that round,

0:21:490:21:53

a miserable £90 is all you put into your kitty. Who is cramping your style?

0:21:530:22:00

Whose performance is far too poor

0:22:000:22:02

for them to stay?

0:22:020:22:05

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:22:050:22:08

Steve is the strongest, statistically.

0:22:100:22:13

Dean failed to answer any questions

0:22:130:22:16

which makes him the weakest link again.

0:22:160:22:19

But can he survive another vote?

0:22:190:22:22

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

0:22:220:22:26

We have a tie.

0:22:420:22:44

Craig and Dean, three votes each.

0:22:440:22:48

Dean, that's an interesting choice.

0:22:500:22:53

Erm...it is.

0:22:530:22:55

I had a nightmarish round.

0:22:550:22:57

Craig did a little bit better but not as good as everybody else.

0:22:570:23:01

Craig, why Dean?

0:23:010:23:03

Erm...I believe he did slightly worse than me.

0:23:030:23:06

Unfortunately, that round

0:23:060:23:08

was so difficult I lost count but I remember Dean getting some wrong.

0:23:080:23:13

When the vote is tied, the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote.

0:23:130:23:18

Steve, as the strongest link,

0:23:180:23:22

would you like to get rid of Craig

0:23:220:23:24

or Dean?

0:23:260:23:27

Dean did well the first few rounds but he's showing nerves.

0:23:270:23:31

I'll stick with Craig. He's good and he's competition.

0:23:310:23:35

Oh, I see. You no longer heed the interests of the team

0:23:350:23:39

whereby you raise the stakes as high as possible.

0:23:390:23:42

You're playing for yourself. Is that right?

0:23:420:23:46

Not strictly true, but there is an element of selfishness in my choice.

0:23:460:23:51

-Is that wise in terms of who votes for you in the following rounds?

-We'll see.

0:23:510:23:56

Craig, Steve has decided you're competition.

0:23:560:24:00

So technically you are the weakest link, goodbye.

0:24:000:24:04

I think it's disgusting that I can be voted off

0:24:110:24:15

when I was the strongest for most of the game

0:24:150:24:18

and in that round I wasn't the weakest.

0:24:180:24:21

The one I would least like to win is Steve because he is a coward.

0:24:210:24:25

He voted me off because I'm competition.

0:24:250:24:28

Round Five.

0:24:290:24:31

£1270 in the kitty.

0:24:310:24:34

Five of you left. 10 seconds off the time.

0:24:340:24:37

We start with the strongest from the last round - Steve.

0:24:370:24:40

Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:24:400:24:42

Start the clock.

Time is up.

0:27:040:27:06

Just £120

0:27:060:27:08

was what you managed in that round.

0:27:080:27:11

Who now seriously needs to be shown the door?

0:27:110:27:15

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:27:150:27:18

Having survived two votes as the weakest link,

0:27:180:27:22

Dean is now the strongest.

0:27:220:27:24

Janice is now the weakest player,

0:27:240:27:26

but will the voting reflect reality?

0:27:260:27:29

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

0:27:300:27:35

Linda, why Steve?

0:27:500:27:52

I think that was not a good round for any of us

0:27:520:27:56

but Steve,

0:27:560:27:58

I thought he was weaker than what I was so I voted for Steve, unfortunately.

0:27:580:28:03

-Tabbi, how's it going?

-I got one wrong out of three

0:28:030:28:07

and Steve was the only one I could think of

0:28:070:28:10

who got any wrong.

0:28:100:28:12

-You thought he was the weakest link.

-I did, yes.

0:28:120:28:15

Steve, what do you do?

0:28:150:28:17

I'm a team leader in sales environment.

0:28:170:28:22

-A team leader!

-Yeah.

0:28:220:28:24

-Good heavens!

-Yeah.

0:28:240:28:26

-There's no evidence of it here because you wanted to get rid of your biggest rival.

-I did.

0:28:260:28:32

That's a very good advert for a team leader.

0:28:320:28:35

It's not done you any good. You are the weakest link, goodbye.

0:28:350:28:40

I'm disappointed to go in that round.

0:28:470:28:49

They got rid of me because I was strong early on

0:28:490:28:53

and they knew I'd be a threat at the end.

0:28:530:28:56

Tabbi will probably be voted off next.

0:28:560:28:59

She's hesitated a lot and there's been a few answers she didn't know.

0:28:590:29:04

Round Six

0:29:050:29:06

and so far you've won £1390.

0:29:060:29:10

There are four of you left.

0:29:100:29:12

We cut ten seconds from your time. We start with the strongest from the last round.

0:29:120:29:18

Let's play The Weakest Link.

In music, who was born Gary Webb...

0:31:300:31:32

Time is up.

0:31:370:31:38

You only answered five questions correctly and you banked £70.

0:31:380:31:43

Who is well past their best? Who has lost the plot?

0:31:430:31:48

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:31:480:31:50

In a big reversal, Janice has gone from weakest to strongest link.

0:31:520:31:57

The weakest link is Tabbi who failed to answer any questions.

0:31:570:32:01

But who will lose out in the vote?

0:32:010:32:04

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

0:32:050:32:10

Dean,

0:32:230:32:25

why Tabbi?

0:32:250:32:27

Everyone had a shocking round

0:32:270:32:29

-but Tabbi's questions stood out.

-Janine, why Tabbi?

0:32:290:32:33

She didn't get a question right so she was the weakest link.

0:32:330:32:37

Do you want this end to yourself, do you?

0:32:370:32:40

Not really, no.

0:32:400:32:42

-Tabbi?

-Appalling. Appalling round.

0:32:420:32:45

Terrible.

0:32:460:32:48

Three votes, the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:32:480:32:52

I'd like to have won but that was never on.

0:32:580:33:02

My friends and family will be surprised

0:33:020:33:05

at how far I got - they think I'm really dizzy.

0:33:050:33:08

The know-it-alls were voted off earlier on.

0:33:080:33:12

I'd like to see any of the remaining three win it.

0:33:120:33:15

Round Seven.

0:33:160:33:18

Just £1460 in the kitty.

0:33:180:33:21

Three of you left.

0:33:210:33:23

10 seconds off the clock. We start with the strongest link - Janice.

0:33:230:33:28

Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:33:280:33:30

Start the clock.
