Of the nine contestants preparing for today's show

0:00:010:00:04

only one will win prize money of up to £10,000.

0:00:040:00:08

The rest of the team will win nothing

0:00:080:00:10

as, one by one, they're voted off as The Weakest Link.

0:00:100:00:16

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:290:00:31

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

0:00:340:00:40

They don't know each other. However, if they want that prize money

0:00:400:00:44

they'll have to work as a team.

0:00:440:00:46

But eight will leave with nothing,

0:00:460:00:48

as, round by round, we lose the player voted The Weakest Link.

0:00:480:00:53

Let's meet the team.

0:00:530:00:54

I'm Peter. I'm 55. I'm from Horsham in West Sussex

0:00:560:01:00

and I'm a chief immigration officer.

0:01:000:01:02

I'm Jo. I'm 37, from Blackburn, and am an export co-ordinator.

0:01:020:01:07

I'm Neil. I'm 24, from north London, and a consultant.

0:01:070:01:10

I'm Anna. I'm 23, from Blandford Forum, and I'm an estate agent.

0:01:110:01:16

I'm Sean. I'm 36, from Richmond, North Yorkshire

0:01:160:01:19

and I'm an environmental health officer.

0:01:190:01:22

I'm Pruw. I'm 59.

0:01:230:01:25

I'm from Totnes, in south Devon, and I'm a retired teacher.

0:01:250:01:30

I'm Theresa. I'm 48, from Rochester.

0:01:300:01:32

I'm a personal assistant.

0:01:320:01:34

I'm Andy.

0:01:340:01:36

I'm 44, from Leamington, in Hampshire,

0:01:360:01:39

and I'm a garage parts manager.

0:01:390:01:42

I'm Mark. I'm 20. I'm from Nottingham and I'm a student.

0:01:420:01:46

The aim is to answer enough questions correctly

0:01:480:01:51

to reach your £1,000 target

0:01:510:01:53

within the time limit. The fastest way

0:01:530:01:57

is to make a chain of 9 correct answers. Get a question wrong

0:01:570:02:01

and you break the chain and lose all the money in that chain.

0:02:010:02:05

If you say "bank" before the question is asked, the money is safe, BUT you start a new chain.

0:02:050:02:12

At the end of the round,

0:02:120:02:14

only banked money can be taken forward.

0:02:140:02:17

In Round One, you get three minutes.

The correct answer is North Sea.

0:05:390:05:43

In that first round

0:05:430:05:44

you banked £700. But you could have won £1,000.

0:05:440:05:49

Who is ready, willing but totally unable?

0:05:490:05:53

Who has made a wasted journey?

0:05:530:05:55

One of you will leave with nothing.

0:05:560:05:59

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:05:590:06:02

In the first round, the strongest link is Jo.

0:06:030:06:07

Statistically, the weakest link is Pruw.

0:06:070:06:10

But will the team notice so early in the game?

0:06:100:06:13

Voting over.

0:06:140:06:16

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

Mark, what do you do?

I'm a student.

And what will that involve?

0:06:460:06:49

Analysing things like DNA from crime scenes, things like that.

0:06:490:06:53

You're a clever little person?

0:06:530:06:55

Sometimes.

0:06:550:06:56

-Why Anna?

-She just stood out. She got a question wrong

0:06:560:07:00

and also I heard her bank after there was no money.

0:07:000:07:04

Andy, what do you do?

0:07:040:07:06

A parts manager.

0:07:060:07:07

Where?

0:07:070:07:08

In a garage.

0:07:080:07:10

-What are your five favourite words?

-Just show me the money.

0:07:100:07:14

-Not "the part hasn't arrived"?

-No, not at all.

0:07:140:07:18

The parts always arrive at your garage, do they?

0:07:180:07:22

Yes. On time and the correct part.

0:07:220:07:24

Really?!

0:07:240:07:26

Why Anna?

0:07:260:07:28

Sadly, there are no guards at Hampton Court

0:07:280:07:31

and, as an estate agent, she must have some deal to close

0:07:310:07:35

to make lots of money - more than on this show.

0:07:350:07:38

Yes, she is an estate agent. That is true.

0:07:380:07:41

-What do you do?

-Chief immigration officer at Gatwick.

0:07:410:07:46

-Are you a trendy guy?

-Not at all.

0:07:460:07:48

-No.

-My wife is my sartorial advisor.

0:07:480:07:51

How long has she dressed you like that for?

0:07:510:07:54

Oh, a few years.

0:07:540:07:56

-Been married a long time?

-No.

0:07:560:07:58

Oh, bit of a swinger, are you?

0:07:580:08:00

-She's my third wife.

-Your third wife!

0:08:000:08:03

-How many children?

-Four.

0:08:030:08:05

And one on the way.

0:08:050:08:07

And one on the way! Well, hidden depths! Peter!

0:08:070:08:11

What a surprise! Why Anna?

0:08:110:08:13

She got the question wrong about the changing of the guard... an easy one.

0:08:130:08:18

And she banked when there was no money. I think she's losing her nerve.

0:08:180:08:24

Anna...an estate agent... so no surprise

0:08:240:08:27

that you don't know the difference between the two. You are the weakest link.

0:08:270:08:32

Goodbye.

0:08:320:08:34

I am disappointed to be out first. I was GAINING my nerve.

0:08:410:08:45

But, as Anne said, Peter is a fuddy-duddy.

0:08:450:08:49

It would be nice to see Andy voted off soon, because he's very cocky

0:08:490:08:53

and should come down a peg or two.

0:08:530:08:56

Round Two, team.

0:08:580:09:00

So far you've banked £700 out of a possible £1,000.

0:09:000:09:03

Down to eight players.

0:09:030:09:05

We are now taking 10 seconds off the clock.

0:09:050:09:08

We'll start with the strongest link from the last round - Jo.

0:09:080:09:13

Whose vacuum has lost its suction?

The statistics show that Andy is the strongest link.

0:12:340:12:38

The weakest link is Sean, as he got most answers wrong.

0:12:380:12:42

But who will the team want off?

Any good at it?

What sort?

0:13:250:13:26

Designer. Anything expensive.

0:13:260:13:28

So why aren't you in it today?

0:13:280:13:31

I can't outdo you.

0:13:310:13:32

Why Sean?

0:13:320:13:33

Didn't get any of his questions right.

0:13:330:13:36

Neil...

0:13:360:13:38

0:13:380:13:41

I'm mainly an IT consultant. I design software.

-Who, for example?

0:13:440:13:49

My mother loves me.

0:13:490:13:51

-But she's not a reliable judge.

-She's not, no.

0:13:510:13:55

Why Sean?

0:13:550:13:56

Well, he did get all three questions wrong and has silly glasses.

0:13:560:14:00

Pruw. From where?

0:14:000:14:01

Totnes, in Devon.

0:14:010:14:03

-You're retired. As a teacher?

-Yes, Anne.

0:14:030:14:06

-Were you not any good at it?

-Very good, Anne.

0:14:060:14:10

I did it for nearly 40 years.

0:14:100:14:12

Why not stay till 60?

0:14:120:14:14

Well, Anne, I wanted to go on to pastures new.

0:14:140:14:17

Fields in Devon?

0:14:180:14:19

No. I'm actually a self-appointed community busybody, Anne.

0:14:190:14:23

Oh, dear, oh dear, oh dear.

0:14:230:14:26

On behalf of whom?

0:14:260:14:28

Oh, all sorts. I'm a councillor and I'm on various committees...

0:14:280:14:32

OK, what achievements have you had

0:14:320:14:36

as a professional busybody?

0:14:360:14:38

I was mayor in 2000. I was the Millennium mayor.

0:14:380:14:42

Oh! Why Sean?

0:14:420:14:43

He got all three questions wrong and has silly Harry Potter glasses.

0:14:430:14:48

He has indeed.

0:14:480:14:50

If he wants to be on TV, he'd be better as Harry Potter's elder brother.

0:14:500:14:55

Not on a general knowledge quiz. You are the weakest link.

0:14:550:14:59

Goodbye.

0:14:590:15:01

Friends from work and college, they're all going to give me grief.

0:15:070:15:12

They said they'd scrutinise every word I uttered.

0:15:120:15:15

Mark should come off. Students take over the world. We should stop them.

0:15:150:15:20

Round Three. £1,000 in the bank.

0:18:580:19:00

0:19:480:19:52

0:19:520:19:56

but he's got away with it.

0:19:560:19:58

0:19:580:20:01

I'm fuming. I know if I'd got through that round,

0:20:090:20:12

-Your husband is a Morris dancer?

-Yes.

As a relief from your interfering professional activities?

0:24:160:24:20

0:24:200:24:23

Does he just say he's going Morris dancing?

0:24:230:24:26

No. He's in a men-only team, so it gets him out of my way.

So, Jo, people in Blackburn, they don't bother with literature

0:24:310:24:35

0:25:030:25:08

The team have made a big mistake voting me off.

0:25:150:25:18

I managed to raise £500 of that money.

0:25:180:25:21

I would have continued to do so and I hope they get no more.

0:25:210:25:25

Neil was quite a weak player and I think he should be off next.

0:25:250:25:30

0:29:230:29:28

They remembered I was a weakest link the round before

I'm on the edge, so people notice when I'm wrong.

0:32:400:32:46

Pruw is the strongest link.

0:32:480:32:50

Neil remains the weakest link, as he got the most answers wrong.

0:32:500:32:55

Is his game now over?

0:32:550:32:57

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

0:32:580:33:02

Peter, why Neil?

0:33:110:33:14

He got a few wrong and he was the weakest link last round,

0:33:140:33:18

so I thought I ought to vote for him now.

0:33:180:33:21

Jo, why Neil?

0:33:210:33:23

He's outstayed his welcome.

0:33:230:33:25

He's lucky to have survived so far.

0:33:250:33:27

He was the weakest link several times.

0:33:270:33:30

We won't be coming to you to be consulted about software.

0:33:300:33:34

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:33:340:33:38

In all honesty, I've ridden my luck this game.

0:33:450:33:49

To have got as far as Round Six, having answered questions stupidly, I'm pretty chuffed.

0:33:490:33:55

They're all excellent. I fear for Pruw

0:33:550:33:58

because the others are next to each other and have been voting in tandem.

0:33:580:34:04

Round Seven, team, and you've banked...

0:34:050:34:10

There are three of you left.

0:34:100:34:12

Ten seconds off the time.

0:34:120:34:14

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

Now, in Round Eight, you get the chance to treble what you bank.

0:36:270:36:32

So, potentially, there's £3,000 available.

0:36:320:36:38

The question is have you got the courage to vote off the weakest link?

0:36:390:36:45

With the most correct answers, the strongest link is Peter.

0:36:460:36:51

In a reversal of fortune, Pruw is the weakest link, though she did bank the only money.

0:36:510:36:57

Will it be enough to save her at this stage of the game?

0:36:570:37:01

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

0:37:020:37:06

Peter, do you not like mayors?

0:37:150:37:17

-No problem with them.

-Why vote for Pruw?

0:37:170:37:20

It was a difficult choice between the two contestants and I thought

0:37:200:37:25

Pruw got a few wrong, but I can't remember how many Jo got wrong.

0:37:250:37:30

-I think Pruw was weaker in that round.

-Just.

0:37:300:37:33

Jo, you're getting rid of the other woman.

0:37:340:37:37

It could be termed as that, yes.

0:37:370:37:39

-What else could it be termed as?

-Erm...

0:37:390:37:43

Somebody who's going to get money and I think Peter will do that.

0:37:430:37:48

-It's nothing to do with Pruw voting for you before?

-Not at all.

0:37:480:37:52

Oh, good, OK. ..Pruw, I think we've tired of your interfering ways.

0:37:520:37:58

We're voting against you.

0:37:580:38:00

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:38:000:38:03

The team voted me off at this point because they thought I was the weakest link

0:38:100:38:16

and I had hoped that would keep my place on the team,

0:38:160:38:20

as I would be no threat in the final.

0:38:200:38:22

I think that Peter will win the prize.

0:38:220:38:25

He's been the strongest player in several rounds.

0:38:250:38:29

He has the experience. He's that bit older.

0:38:290:38:32

Round Eight. You've won £2,530 out of a possible £7,000.

Whatever you bank now will be trebled and added to your total.

0:38:460:38:50

£3,000 is at stake.

0:38:500:38:52

We'll start with the strongest link. Peter. Let's play The Weakest Link.

I was lucky to win. I got no geography questions right

0:43:510:43:55

and it was a fluke I was in the final.

0:43:550:43:58

But in the head to head, I got more questions right, so I won.

0:43:580:44:02

I did think in the last round, where I got most questions right,

0:44:020:44:07

that I would have won.

0:44:070:44:08

I'll spend the money on a shopping trip to buy more shoes.
