0:00:020:00:05

only one will get the prize money

0:00:050:00:07

of up to £10,000.

0:00:070:00:08

The others leave with nothing after their team mates vote them the weakest link.

0:00:080:00:14

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:280:00:31

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.

0:00:380:00:40

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

0:00:400:00:45

Eight of them will leave with nothing,

0:00:450:00:48

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

0:00:480:00:52

Let's meet the team.

0:00:520:00:54

0:01:400:01:45

Now, the rules. In each round, answer enough questions correctly to reach £1,000

0:01:480:01:54

within the time limit.

0:01:540:01:56

The fastest way is with a chain of nine answers.

0:01:560:02:00

Get a question wrong,

0:02:000:02:01

and you break the chain and lose the money.

0:02:010:02:05

But, if you say "bank" before the question is asked,

0:02:050:02:09

the money is safe, but you start a new chain.

0:02:090:02:13

At the end of the round, only banked money can go forward.

0:02:130:02:17

In Round One, there are three minutes.

0:06:080:06:11

0:15:430:15:46

Time is up. You're getting worse and worse.

0:15:500:15:53

A measly £190 went into your kitty in that round.

0:15:530:15:57

Who seriously now is a waste of space?

0:15:570:16:01

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:16:010:16:04

Charles answered four correctly, making him the strongest link.

0:16:060:16:11

Malcolm is the weakest link statistically but will the voting reflect reality?

0:16:110:16:17

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

0:16:170:16:21

We have a tie. Paul and Malcolm, three votes each.

0:16:390:16:43

Malcolm, the disease is catching. Have you been under the tutelage of Officer Judy as well?

0:16:430:16:50

It's getting very lonely over here.

0:16:500:16:52

-You might not have to suffer it for long. Why Paul?

-I think he got

0:16:520:16:58

-the same number wrong as I did.

-Paul?

0:16:580:17:00

Despite having geography as a special interest,

0:17:000:17:04

you don't think you should have known the capital of Uruguay?

0:17:040:17:08

Geography's changed since you were at school.

0:17:080:17:12

-It's not just where places are.

-So you don't need to know South America?

0:17:120:17:17

You've got to understand it too.

0:17:170:17:19

-Charles, why Malcolm?

-I felt he was struggling. He hesitated

0:17:190:17:24

-once or twice.

-Right.

0:17:240:17:26

OK, well, when the vote is tied, the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote.

0:17:260:17:32

Charles, as strongest link, you can decide to get rid of Malcolm, who is struggling,

0:17:320:17:38

or Paul, who doesn't think he needs to know anything unless he's experienced it himself.

0:17:380:17:46

I think I'll stay with my original choice. Malcolm.

0:17:460:17:50

-Why's that?

-Because...I felt that

0:17:500:17:53

-he struggled a bit more than Paul.

-Right, Malcolm...

0:17:530:17:57

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:17:570:17:59

I thought my overall performance wasn't too bad. I was warming up.

0:18:050:18:10

Unfortunately, being out on a limb, I lost touch with the rest.

0:18:100:18:15

The next person to go will be Paul. He managed

0:18:150:18:18

to scrape through by the skin of his teeth.

0:18:180:18:21

His knowledge has been lacking. I don't think he'll stay.

0:18:210:18:25

Round Four and so far £840 banked. There are six of you left.

0:18:270:18:32

We are taking ten seconds off the clock.

0:18:320:18:35

You now have 2½ minutes. We start with the strongest link:

0:18:350:18:39

Charles. Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:18:390:18:42

Start the clock.

Viz. Paul...

0:21:120:21:13

Time is up and after all that work, you only put into your kitty

0:21:180:21:22

£200. Remember, she who stumbles

0:21:220:21:25

should not survive. He who hesitates deserves a hard time. Vote off the weakest link.

0:21:250:21:32

Roger is now the strongest link.

0:21:340:21:36

Charles goes from strongest to weakest link,

0:21:360:21:39

but will his earlier performance be enough to save him in the vote?

0:21:390:21:44

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

0:21:440:21:48

Is Paul not clever enough?

0:22:030:22:05

I think he's about as clever as I am.

0:22:050:22:07

Right.

0:22:070:22:09

Suzanne, why Paul?

0:22:090:22:11

We were all pretty rotten in that round,

0:22:110:22:14

but Paul's the one who stuck in my mind.

0:22:140:22:17

-You thought he was the weakest link?

-Yeah.

0:22:170:22:20

-He wasn't, was he, Charles?

-No, he wasn't. I went off tune there.

0:22:200:22:25

-How could you not know who Patsy Kensit was married to?

-I'm not into media or fame.

0:22:250:22:31

We're not into having you here.

0:22:310:22:33

If you don't need knowledge of things you haven't experienced, take the Walk Of Shame.

0:22:330:22:40

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:22:400:22:42

Anne could be the next Baroness Thatcher,

0:22:480:22:51

if this country wants a leader in her vein.

0:22:510:22:54

She'd do well if she used her Weakest Link persona.

0:22:540:22:57

I think Charles will probably go next, if he has a round

0:22:570:23:01

like last time. He got loads of questions wrong,

0:23:010:23:05

and hesitated, so he cost time and money.

0:23:050:23:08

Round Five.

0:23:090:23:11

Your total so far is...

0:23:110:23:13

We start with the strongest link Roger.

£100 is what you won

0:25:480:25:51

in that round. Who is seriously out of step

0:25:510:25:54

compared with the rest of you?

0:25:540:25:56

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:25:560:25:59

Barbara is the strongest link statistically.

0:26:010:26:04

Charles is the weakest link for the second time.

0:26:040:26:08

Will the others have noticed?

0:26:080:26:10

Can he survive another vote?

0:26:100:26:12

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

0:26:130:26:17

Interesting. We have a tie.

0:26:310:26:33

Charles and Roger, two votes each. Charles,

0:26:330:26:36

why Roger?

0:26:360:26:38

Well, he started very well,

0:26:380:26:40

but, like me, he seems to have gone off in that round.

0:26:400:26:44

It's the worst round he's had.

0:26:440:26:47

-He wasn't the weakest link.

-No. I think

-I

-was.

0:26:470:26:50

Roger, why Charles?

0:26:500:26:52

Cos I thought he was the weakest link.

0:26:520:26:54

Right. Well, when the vote is tied,

0:26:540:26:57

the strongest link casts the deciding vote.

0:26:570:27:01

Barbara, who would you like to get rid of?

0:27:010:27:04

I think I'll stick with my original vote.

0:27:040:27:07

-Why's that, Barbara?

-I thought...

0:27:070:27:10

It's his tattoos, perhaps?

0:27:100:27:12

No, not at all. No, not at...

0:27:120:27:14

-He voted for me the last time.

-Good enough reason.

0:27:140:27:18

Don't vote for the women. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:27:180:27:21

It's the way the game goes. The way the mop flops.

0:27:270:27:31

Playing it is harder than I thought it would be.

0:27:310:27:34

When I sat at home, it was a piece of cake.

0:27:340:27:37

But on television it's a bit more stressful.

0:27:370:27:40

The next to go could be Charles.

0:27:400:27:42

He was the last round's weakest link.

0:27:420:27:45

It looks like he's fading fast.

0:27:450:27:47

Round Six.

0:27:480:27:51

Four of you left.

0:27:510:27:53

We cut another ten seconds from your time.

0:27:540:27:57

We start with the strongest link Barbara.

0:27:570:28:00

-Correct.

0:30:120:30:14

Time is up. And, in that round, you won £100.

0:30:150:30:19

Who would be better retiring gracefully?

0:30:210:30:24

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:30:240:30:27

After being the weakest link twice,

0:30:290:30:31

Charles is now the strongest link for a second time.

0:30:310:30:35

The weakest link is Suzanne, who answered all her questions wrong.

0:30:350:30:40

But what will the team take into account as they vote?

0:30:400:30:44

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

0:30:450:30:49

Right. Charles,

0:31:010:31:03

why Feeona?

0:31:030:31:05

I thought she had a hard time

0:31:050:31:07

in that round. Started well,

0:31:070:31:09

but seems to have struggled since.

0:31:090:31:12

Barbara, why Feeona?

0:31:120:31:14

Similar reasons to Charles.

0:31:140:31:16

She got more questions wrong than us.

0:31:160:31:19

-Nothing to do with her voting for you in the last round?

-No. Really.

0:31:190:31:23

No. It was coincidence. Pure and simple.

0:31:230:31:27

You thought she was the weakest link?

0:31:270:31:30

-Er...yes, I did.

-She wasn't, was she, Suzanne?

0:31:300:31:33

No.

0:31:330:31:35

Statistically, you were the worst player.

0:31:350:31:38

-Hm. Bad round.

-Right. Feeona,

0:31:380:31:41

-unwise to have voted for Barbara.

-Obviously.

0:31:410:31:45

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:31:450:31:47

I should still be there. I wasn't the weakest link.

0:31:530:31:56

Suzanne was. I voted her out, but the others didn't think so.

0:31:560:32:01

My son will tease me about the military history question.

0:32:010:32:05

He'll know it, and he's only nine.

0:32:050:32:07

The person I'd least like to see win is Barbara.

0:32:070:32:11

The only reason she voted for me

0:32:110:32:13

was because I voted for her before.

0:32:130:32:16

Round Seven. Three of you left,

0:32:160:32:18

and a far from impressive amount in the bank.

0:32:180:32:21

Another ten seconds off the clock.

0:32:220:32:25

We start with the strongest link Charles.

0:32:250:32:28

Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:34:290:34:31

-Bank.

0:34:310:34:34

You banked just in time.

0:34:340:34:37

And in that round,

0:34:370:34:39

you banked £270.

0:34:390:34:42

In Round Eight you can treble what you bank,

0:34:420:34:45

so there's £3000 to be won.

0:34:450:34:48

The question is: whose time is up? Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:34:480:34:53

Barbara is the strongest link again.

0:34:550:34:58

In a dramatic reversal of fortune,

0:34:580:35:01

Charles has gone from strongest to weakest,

0:35:010:35:04

but, at this crucial stage, can he survive a third vote?

0:35:040:35:08

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

0:35:100:35:14

Barbara, why Charles?

0:35:230:35:26

It was very close. It was like a toss of a coin,

0:35:260:35:29

and I thought Charles was perhaps more hesitant than Suzanne.

0:35:290:35:34

It wasn't that close, was it, Suzanne?

0:35:340:35:37

Charles got four wrong, and Suzanne got two wrong.

0:35:370:35:41

You've decided the women should unite?

0:35:410:35:44

No, I just felt Charles was the weakest link.

0:35:440:35:48

So, Charles, the thorn between two roses, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:35:480:35:53

To have come so far and be voted off was a bit of a blow,

0:36:000:36:04

but I think I did deserve it.

0:36:040:36:07

I think today's winner will be Barbara.

0:36:070:36:10

She started very nervously,

0:36:100:36:12

but she's got stronger,

0:36:120:36:15

whereas I think her opponent has gone the other way.

0:36:150:36:19

Round Eight. There's £1510 in the bank. Suzanne and Barbara,

0:36:200:36:26

just two of you left, and 90 seconds.

0:36:260:36:29

But what you win in this round will be trebled.

0:36:290:36:33

So, £3000 is at stake in this round.

0:36:330:36:37

We start with Barbara. Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:38:210:38:26

That means prize money today of:

0:38:260:38:30

Only one of you can take that,

0:38:300:38:32

so now you'll be playing head-to-head.

0:38:320:38:35

Five questions each. Whoever gets the most right wins.

0:38:350:38:40

Simple as that. If there's a tie after five, we go for Sudden Death

0:38:400:38:45

until we have a winner.

0:38:450:38:47

So, Suzanne and Barbara - £2050. Let's play The Weakest Link.
