22/11/2012 Weakest Link

Here are the contestants preparing for today's show.

One will take home prize money of up to £10,000.

The rest will leave with nothing, as, one by one, they are 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 don't know each other.

If they want the money, they will have to work as a team.

But eight of them will leave with nothing,

as, round by round, we lose the player voted the weakest link. Let's meet the team.

I'm Greg. I'm 35 years of age.

I come from Canvey Island and I'm an area sales manager.

I'm Jayne. I'm 31. I'm from Portsmouth and I'm a housewife.

I'm Rob. I'm 30 years old, from Cardiff, and I'm a training co-ordinator.

I'm Lisa from Eastbourne. I'm 24 and I'm a trainee accountant.

I'm Edna. I'm 69 years old. I come from East Yorkshire and I'm retired.

I'm David. I'm 64. I come from Christchurch in Dorset and I'm a wholesale fruit merchant.

I'm Alicia, 46, from near Bristol, and I'm an international market researcher.

I'm Ian. I'm 49. I'm from Northern Ireland and I'm a civil servant.

My name is Ben. I'm 24. I live in Kent and I work in quality assurance.

Now, the rules in each round - the aim is to answer enough

questions correctly to reach your £1,000 target within the time limit.

Ideally, you create a chain of nine correct answers.

Get your question wrong, you lose the money.

If you say Bank before the question is asked, the money is safe.

However, you start a new chain from scratch. At the end of the round,

only money that has been banked can be carried forward. In Round One,

three minutes are on the clock.

We start with the one whose name is first alphabetically. Alicia.

Let's play The Weakest link.

The weakest link is Alicia.

At this early stage, how will the votes go?

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

Well, team, in that round, you managed to get

and didn't bank any money.

David, what are you good at?

Oh, loads of things.

Gosh. Surely not moi.

International market researcher.

-What languages do you speak?

Oh, French?

Well, I think he got two questions wrong, as a fair few of us did,

as well, and erm...

-I think that's enough from you.

-Sorry.

Right. You were the weakest link, but it's votes that count.

Ben, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm devastated at being voted off first, seeing as Alicia was the weakest link.

I don't know why they picked on me.

Perhaps because I'm the youngest.

Round Two. You have £360 out of a possible £1,000. Eight of you left.

10 seconds are coming off the clock.

We start with the strongest link, Rob. Let's play The Weakest Link.

-I'm a housewife.

-And before that?

-I was in the Royal Navy.

-Doing what?

-I was a navigator.

You don't know geography.

Because I happened to notice

-What do you do?

-A trainee accountant.

-What will you do after training?

-Chartered accountancy.

-What will it involve?

-Doing accounts.

-Why David?

-Because he got more questions wrong than I did.

Just.

Statistically, David was the worst player.

He said he was modest. He has much to be modest about.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm ashamed at being voted off early. I expected to do better.

I performed like an idiot and I got what I deserved.

I'd like to see Ian voted off. I feel that

he's a little bit too smug.

Round Three. You've won £460 out of a possible £2,000.

-Lisa.

Oh, and I did. Sorry.

Alicia, statistically, you were the worst player.

A woman in international marketing who thinks Alan Clark was a Labour MP.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm very frustrated that the clock stopped

as Anne was asking my third question.

If I'd got it right, I'd still be there.

Lisa is rather annoying.

She's very full of herself and I don't think her knowledge

is as vast as she thinks it is.

Round Four. £660 banked out of £3,000. Six of you left.

Another ten seconds coming off the clock.

You now have only 2½ minutes.

For the first time, Jayne is the strongest link.

Lisa is the weakest link.

But will the team be aware of these statistics?

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

We have a tie - Lisa and Greg.

Two votes each.

Rob...why Greg?

Someone has to go.

And I think he got two questions wrong, as I did.

Ian...what are those figures?

They're for Lisa, for her accountancy.

Just to give her a little sum to do.

Why have you voted her off?

She got a couple of questions wrong,

including one on golf.

Can you be a chartered accountant if you don't know about golf?

In a tie, the strongest link has the casting vote. Jayne...

Would you like to lose Lisa, who's a trainee accountant,

or Greg, who works for a bank?

I'll stick with my original vote.

Why?

Because I believe Lisa was weaker than Greg.

That is correct.

Statistically, Lisa was the worst player.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Being voted off in a tie is pretty unlucky.

It just shows everyone out there is near enough as bad as me.

I'm not very happy about Jayne.

Obviously she wanted me off.

And that's what she did. She seems nice but isn't.

Round Five, and of the £4,000 you could have won you've only got...

but he did bank money.

Will that save him when it comes to the vote?

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

Greg from the large bank,

who thinks the Express is a weekly magazine.

That was a faux pas, Anne.

Why Ian?

Well, apart from the fact that he rampaged in

and stuck the boot in on me at the start of the game,

he did drop a couple of questions

-and I'd rather he wasn't here.

-He's a rival?

Um...yes.

Rob, what do you do when not being polite?

I do a drag queen show.

-How does that go?

Ian got my vote.

Well, Ian...

You've been very hot stuff till now,

but they've taken advantage at this point

where you WERE the weakest link to get rid of you.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm sorry to be voted off. I felt I had a good chance.

Voting over. Let's see who you think is the weakest link.

Jayne...why Edna?

Well, it's getting towards the closing stages

and time's getting tight.

We haven't got a lot of money.

She's hesitating and thinking.

We've got no room for...thinkers.

-She is.

Greg, who works for the large bank.

Anne.

-What's that you've drawn?

-That is Edna taking her last walk into the sunset.

Why have you voted for her?

She was taking too long.

And I think she got the most wrong.

Edna, not your best round, though you've done well till now.

The rest of the team want you out.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm disappointed to be voted off.

But it looks like they got together

and voted Granny off the bus.

I feel Greg will win it. He's out to.

I think he wants it and I think he will win.

I think Greg will win.

His exceptional general knowledge is...

exceptionally general!

Round Eight. Out of a possible £7,000 you've got...
