22/11/2010 Weakest Link

'Here are the nine contestants preparing for today's show.

'Only one of them will win up to £10,000.

'The others will leave with nothing, when voted off as the weakest link.'

Welcome to the Weakest Link.

Any of the nine people in the studio here today could win up to £10,000.

They've just met but, to get the prize money, they'll have to work together.

Eight will leave with nothing as, round by round, we lose the player voted the weakest link.

Let's meet the team.

I'm Mick. I'm 50, from Mansfield in Nottinghamshire, and I'm a postman.

I'm Enid. I'm 64.

I'm from Ferryhill, County Durham and I'm a retired costumier.

I'm Jamesie. I'm 29 from Milton Keynes.

I'm a house producer and DJ.

I'm Alison, 42, from Ayr in Scotland and I'm a civil servant.

I'm Pip. I'm 33, from Clitheroe. I'm a manager of a pet shop.

To remind you, in each round, there's £1,000 to be won.
