You had a chain of 16 correct answers. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
Who didn't bank when the time came? | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
Think carefully. Time to vote off the weakest link. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:37 | |
As the only player to get an answer wrong, | 0:05:39 | 0:05:42 | |
Chris is the weakest link. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:44 | |
The strongest link statistically is Anne, | 0:05:44 | 0:05:46 | |
but who will be the first to take the walk of shame? | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
Voting over. It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:56 | |
Chris. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
Sandra. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
Sandra. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
Joe. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:03 | |
Pete. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
Chris. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
Pete. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
Elaine. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:10 | |
Elaine. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:12 | |
Well, first round and we have a four-way tie. | 0:06:13 | 0:06:18 | |
Chris, Sandra, Pete, Elaine. | 0:06:18 | 0:06:22 | |
Two votes each. What do you do, Sandra? | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
-I'm a purchase ledger clerk. -What does that involve? | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
It involves spending the company's money. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
Making sure suppliers get paid and things get ordered. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
-So you must be good with figures. -Mm-hm. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
-And you get the hang of things quickly? -I try to. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
Good. Explain how the Weakest Link works. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
You go round, ask each other questions. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
We don't ask each other questions. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
You ask questions of contestants. If they get it right, the money goes into the kitty. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:52 | |
If you say "Bank" before the question, the money is then safe. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
What's the big aim, collectively? | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
To get nine questions correct in a row. | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
-Yeah. And therefore... -Therefore, we win £1,000. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
Yeah. And what would stop that happening? | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
If someone banks too early, Anne. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
Yeah. And what have you got to say for yourself? | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
I thought we had more money than we actually had. | 0:07:11 | 0:07:13 | |
Oh, I see. So when you screw it all up at work, | 0:07:13 | 0:07:18 | |
do you say, "I thought there was more money in the kitty"? | 0:07:18 | 0:07:21 | |
I've never screwed it up at work. I don't know. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
-You're just screwing it up here. -We still won £950, Anne. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
So, Pete, what do you do? | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
Performance manager in a telecommunications company. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
So you watch everyone's efficiency? | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
I watch the performance of a team, not necessarily personal efficiency. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:39 | |
-Supposing you'd been watching the performance of this team. -Yes. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:43 | |
Let me take you through. We're at Anne and there's £950 in the kitty. | 0:07:43 | 0:07:49 | |
-She answers her question correctly. -Yes, Anne. | 0:07:49 | 0:07:52 | |
And there's seconds on the clock. What would be best for the next person to do? | 0:07:52 | 0:07:56 | |
To bank that money. | 0:07:56 | 0:07:58 | |
How would you regard someone stupid enough not to do that? | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
I would regard them as someone paying attention to you and being distracted. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:07 | |
I see. So you're the sort of person who's never wrong. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:12 | |
-I wouldn't say that, Anne. -Yeah. So the fact that it only got to £950, | 0:08:12 | 0:08:17 | |
you were in no way responsible for? | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
-I was part of the way responsible. -Only part? Why only part? | 0:08:20 | 0:08:23 | |
-Cos there were other factors. -So are we all hearing that? | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
It wasn't Pete's fault. What do you do, Chris? | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
-I'm a student at Leeds University. -What are you studying? | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
-Maths and statistics. -Really? You did well to get to Leeds. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:37 | |
-Thank you very much. -Got lots of GCSEs? | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
Plenty of GCSEs. Some A Levels as well, yeah. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
-Do you know what alliterative means? -Yes. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
So how is it you answered the question about an alliterative name with a fuel pump? | 0:08:46 | 0:08:50 | |
I said it was fuel pump, yeah. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:53 | |
Yeah. How did you think about that? | 0:08:53 | 0:08:55 | |
Er... It was the first word that came into my head. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
-Oh, I see. Is that how they teach you at Leeds? -I panicked a bit. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:02 | |
What do you do, Elaine? | 0:09:02 | 0:09:03 | |
I'm a TV extra, Anne. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
Are you? Just non-speaking parts? | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
-I occasionally get the odd line. -Do you have to listen to the last person who spoke? | 0:09:07 | 0:09:13 | |
-Yeah. -So what happened to you today? | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
Why do you think you're in the tie? | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
I was so busy worrying whether I said "Bank" at the right time or not | 0:09:18 | 0:09:21 | |
that I wasn't listening to the question properly. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
You thought it was a good idea to bank? | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
-I did. -Why did you think that, Elaine? | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
Just in case I got it wrong, Anne. | 0:09:29 | 0:09:31 | |
The fact that at the end of the round, there were 16 correct answers... | 0:09:31 | 0:09:36 | |
Maybe not such a good choice. | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
When the vote's tied, the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:43 | |
And the strongest link was Anne. What do you do, Anne? | 0:09:43 | 0:09:47 | |
-I'm retired now. I was a radiographer. -How old are you? -63. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
Oh. So you're sort of on your way to the departure lounge of life. | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
I suppose you could say that. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
-Why have you voted for Sandra? -Cos she banked too early. | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
-Having listened to all... -All the evidence. -Yes. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:03 | |
And the excuses they've all put up, do you want to have another little think? | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
Er... I think I'll stick with my decision, thank you, Anne. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:12 | |
Sandra, you are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
Hearing what Anne said, I think Pete should have gone off. | 0:10:20 | 0:10:23 | |
I think he did prevent us getting that £1,000 | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
and I think I maybe wouldn't have been penalised as much. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:29 | |
In my defence, I did put the most money in the kitty. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:32 | |
I hope the winner realises that when they take the money and I will leave with my head held high. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:37 | |
Round Two. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:39 | |
In the bank... | 0:10:39 | 0:10:41 | |

Elaine. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
What do you do, Gaynor? | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
-I'm a PA, Anne. -Who to? | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
The Pro-Vice-Chancellor at the university. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:37 | |
-What university? -Sheffield. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
-What does pro-vice-chancellor mean? -There's a vice-chancellor | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
and then there are pro-vice-chancellors below him who, um... | 0:14:43 | 0:14:48 | |
So he's a mini vice-chancellor? | 0:14:48 | 0:14:50 | |
-He's second-in-command. -What tasks do you perform for him? | 0:14:50 | 0:14:54 | |
-I organise his diary. -What else? | 0:14:54 | 0:14:56 | |
Secretarial duties. I organise events. | 0:14:56 | 0:15:00 | |
That sort of thing. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:02 | |
Really? That sort of thing? And any big tasks on at the moment? | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
I've had to order the furniture for the new office. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
-Why does he need a new office? -He's um...second-in-command. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:14 | |
Of course. The credit crunch hasn't got to Sheffield. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
-We've got a budget. -And what have you organised so far? | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
Um... The desks. The filing cabinets. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
-And what's the desk like? -Lovely. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:27 | |
-What colour? -Highland oak. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:28 | |
Highland oak. Has it got a top on it? | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
Yeah. It's got filing cabinets round the side. And we've got red leather reception chairs. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:36 | |
The credit crunch has reached Sheffield | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
but not to the extent that the mini vice-chancellor can't have a brand new office | 0:15:38 | 0:15:43 | |
with real leather and oak? | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
-It's not real oak. -So the mini vice-chancellor hasn't any taste, | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
or is it you? | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
-Yeah. -Fair enough. Why Baggy? | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
Just because he got one wrong. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:55 | |
What do you do, Stephen? | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
I buy and renovate flats in the Paisley area | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
and let them out to nice professional tenants. | 0:16:00 | 0:16:03 | |
You're gonna have to speak in English today. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
Sorry, Anne. Slightly strong accent. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
-You're a developer? -Correct. -Fabulous. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
-Isn't your timing wonderful? -It's not too bad at the moment. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
Whose idea was it? | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
It was my partner. Well, my wife, Irene. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:19 | |
-Have you planned for the future? -I've got a cardboard box looked out, yes. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
Yeah. And will... Is it Irene? | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
-Irene. -Yeah. Is she sort of...dim blonde? | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
No, no. She's a very intelligent lady. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:31 | |
-Dark hair. -Shapely, young? | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
Not particularly young, nor shapely, but very nice. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
-So fat and old, is she? -She's not fat or old. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
-How old are you? -I'm 37. -Yeah. And how old's Irene, then? | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
She's older than me, I would say, but I probably shouldn't say on TV. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:47 | |
-Well, try. -I'll give you a range. She's younger than yourself. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:51 | |
-Yeah. So in her 50s. -Most people are, of course. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
Irene got you to marry her, even though she was on the shelf. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:56 | |
I think I got the better end of the deal, to be honest. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
-Why Baggy? -He's a lovely bloke and I'm loath to do it. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
-Crack on. -He had the opportunity to bank | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
in the round but didn't do so, and then got the question wrong. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:09 | |
Baggy, you are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:12 | |
I wasn't chuffed to be voted off when other people got questions wrong but that's the game. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:25 | |
You're here to play a game. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:27 | |
I played it. I got voted off in Round Two. Tough. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |

-Er... It'd help, yeah. -Why Elaine? | 0:21:27 | 0:21:31 | |
Because she got two questions wrong in that round. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
So what sort of parts do you get, Elaine? | 0:21:34 | 0:21:37 | |
Um... I've had Portly Waitress in Harry Potter. | 0:21:37 | 0:21:40 | |
Fat Sue in Gavin And Stacey and Fat Stella in Catherine Tate. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:44 | |

-Why Chris? -He's a student. He's far too good-looking. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
He's got his whole life in front of him and he's been voting for me. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:09 | |
When the vote's tied, the strongest link casts the deciding vote. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |

Chris, you are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:22:57 | 0:22:59 | |
I was a little bit annoyed when Joe chose me to be voted off, | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
but he had to make a decision so I won't hold it against him. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:12 | |

She only got one wrong, but she was the worst player. Elaine, you are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:26:58 | 0:27:03 | |

Time to vote off the weakest link. | 0:30:05 | 0:30:07 | |
According to the statistics, Stephen is the strongest link. | 0:30:09 | 0:30:14 | |
The weakest link is Anne, but can she survive the vote? | 0:30:14 | 0:30:18 | |
Voting over. It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link. | 0:30:20 | 0:30:26 | |
Gaynor. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:28 | |
Joe. | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
Anne. | 0:30:30 | 0:30:32 | |
Gaynor. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:34 | |
Anne. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:36 | |
Another tie, team. Gaynor and Anne, this time. | 0:30:36 | 0:30:40 | |
Two votes each. Joe, why Gaynor? | 0:30:40 | 0:30:44 | |
I lost track of it a bit as to who got which questions right. | 0:30:44 | 0:30:47 | |
It was a stab in the dark. | 0:30:47 | 0:30:48 | |
Pete, who's always right... Have you ever been wrong? | 0:30:48 | 0:30:53 | |
Very often, Anne. If you listen to my wife, all the time. | 0:30:53 | 0:30:56 | |
Why Anne? | 0:30:56 | 0:30:58 | |
As Joe said, it was difficult to keep track, but I think Anne got at least one question wrong. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:03 | |
Overall, I think Gaynor's been slightly stronger. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:06 | |
The strongest link is Stephen. He gets to decide. Why did you vote for Gaynor? | 0:31:06 | 0:31:10 | |
I think both the players nominated got a question wrong. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:14 | |
But I think Gaynor's was more expensive to the team. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:17 | |
Therefore, I thought she was the weakest link. | 0:31:17 | 0:31:19 | |
-Are you going to stick with Gaynor? -I'd love to, | 0:31:19 | 0:31:22 | |
but I'll hold to my vote, cos I think it's the correct decision. | 0:31:22 | 0:31:25 | |
Gaynor, you are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:31:25 | 0:31:29 | |
I think the person that I wouldn't want to win, but probably is going to win, | 0:31:34 | 0:31:39 | |
would be Stephen, but that's just because he cut me down in my prime. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:43 | |
But he probably will win. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:46 | |

Voting over. It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link. | 0:34:37 | 0:34:42 | |
