0:05:04 > 0:05:05So, where are you?
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- I'm based in Leeds. - And...your qualifications?

0:05:11 > 0:05:13Fabulous(!)
0:05:14 > 0:05:17So, you take complaints from customers
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- from The Royal Bank of Scotland. - That's correct. We've been quite busy, Anne.
0:05:21 > 0:05:25And when I ring up Leeds because I've lost my fortune...
0:05:25 > 0:05:28would I know, Graeme, that I'm talking to somebody in Leeds
0:05:28 > 0:05:31who doesn't have any hair and a theatre studies degree?
0:05:31 > 0:05:36If you asked me I'd tell you, Anne, but it's not part of the scripted opening, no.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Who do you imagine you are when I ring up and say I've lost my money?

0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Put your board down.- OK.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55OK. "Mrs Robinson, I'm very sorry to hear that,
0:05:55 > 0:05:58"but I'm curious as to why you would think that's OUR fault."
0:06:00 > 0:06:01I'm too shocked to answer.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Don't you think that's quite aggressive?

0:06:07 > 0:06:09Put your board up!
0:06:10 > 0:06:14- Why Maria?- Erm...difficult to pick somebody this round, but I just
0:06:14 > 0:06:18felt that she struggled with Simpsons as an answer, so...
0:06:18 > 0:06:20- What do you do, Ellen? - I'm a reporter, Anne.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- Oh. A newspaper reporter?- Yes, Anne.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27- And which newspaper?- It's actually for the Press Association,
0:06:27 > 0:06:28which is a news "wire".
0:06:28 > 0:06:32- And where are you based?- I work from home, and I cover the East Midlands.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39Yes. A few of us.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- How many?- There's three that cover the East Midlands, and two the West.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47- Why would anyone want to know what was happening in the Midlands? - They seem quite curious.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50And what skills do you think you need to be a reporter?
0:06:50 > 0:06:54- I think you have to get people to talk to you, tell you things...- Yes.

0:06:56 > 0:07:00- And what's your ambition?- To be as good as you, I think, Anne.
0:07:00 > 0:07:01Excellent. Why Maria?
0:07:01 > 0:07:04Erm...it was hard to call really -
0:07:04 > 0:07:09I think actually she would be quite good in the future, so maybe I was just eliminating the opposition.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Mmm, nasty.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- What do you do, Joy? - I'm a registration officer, Anne.
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- Yes...- That's a registrar of births, deaths, marriages. Civil partnerships.
0:07:18 > 0:07:21- Where? - Erm...in Grantham, in Lincolnshire.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22So tell me this.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25Do you do the bit when you're marrying people
0:07:25 > 0:07:27where it says "If anyone knows..."
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- "Of any just impediment." Yes. - And how long do you pause?
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- Not very long.- How long?
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Er...three seconds?
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- Three seconds? That's not a lot, is it?- No. No, no.
0:07:38 > 0:07:40And when they go, what do you say?
0:07:40 > 0:07:43- When they go? - Yes. When they've been married.
0:07:43 > 0:07:48"Congratulations. I'm now happy to announce that you are husband and wife."
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- And are they formal vows? - Er...they are formal vows, yes.
0:07:52 > 0:07:58- I can't make up my own? - You can add your own vows on, Anne. I'm quite happy to do that for you.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01- Can I say some poetry...- You could, yes.- ..I'd made up myself?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04As long as it didn't have any religious connotations.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07And in Lincolnshire, do they make up their own poems?
0:08:07 > 0:08:09They sometimes make their own vows.
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Such as what?
0:08:11 > 0:08:15Erm... Well, you know - they promise to be friends forever,
0:08:15 > 0:08:17to always think of them, and er...
0:08:17 > 0:08:21you know, and not to go to bed on an argument, that kind of thing.
0:08:21 > 0:08:25- Can they go to bed with other people?- No...! Well, it's up to them, isn't it?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Why Maria?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29I'm very sorry, Maria. Erm, it was hard to choose,
0:08:29 > 0:08:33but erm...I thought perhaps there was a little hesitation.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Maria! You are the weakest link. Goodbye.
0:08:42 > 0:08:48I didn't expect to win, but I'd like to have got to the third or fourth
0:08:48 > 0:08:50or maybe fifth round.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52That was my expectations.
0:08:52 > 0:08:57I just didn't want to go off in the first. But that's the name of the game.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Round Two. In the bank, £1,000.
0:09:02 > 0:09:06We're now taking ten seconds off your time. We'll start with the strongest link,

0:12:08 > 0:12:13if you want to join in, I'll be around very shortly with the sheets and the pens...

0:12:24 > 0:12:26- No jokes, no catchphrases...- No.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29So you've got the girls throwing themselves at you in the pubs.

0:12:51 > 0:12:54Simply because he paused over the maths question.
0:12:54 > 0:12:57- What do you do, Wendy? - I'm an insurance manager, Anne.
0:12:57 > 0:13:00- Who for?- A...highway company.
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Oh. So who are you insuring?

0:14:00 > 0:14:03I think it's cos I paused slightly just to think about the maths -
0:14:03 > 0:14:06which you've got to to work out the answer -
0:14:06 > 0:14:09and because of that, they decided I was going to go.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14Round Three. In the bank, £2,000.
