25/09/2012 Weakest Link

Today's nine contestants

prepare for the show. Only one of them

will leave with the prize money of up to £10,000.

The others will leave with nothing

as their team-mates vote them the weakest link.

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

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

They don't know one other, but if they want the money, they must work as a team,

but eight will leave with nothing,

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

I'm Diana. I'm 43. I'm an accompanied viewer from Retford in Nottinghamshire.

I'm Winnie. I'm 37. I'm a publican from Norwich.

I'm Helen. I'm 61. I'm a confectioner from Ringwood in Hampshire.

I'm Andrew. I'm a 27-year-old postman from Nottingham.

I'm Tracey. I'm 31 from Kincardineshire and I'm a craftsperson.

I'm Alan. I'm 63. I'm a retired teacher from Stourport-On-Severn in Worcestershire.

I'm Greg. I'm 21 and I'm a student from Epsom in Surrey.

I'm Angela. I'm 26. I'm an aromatherapy demonstrator from Huncote in Leicester.

I'm Steve. I'm 46. I'm self-employed from London, living in Plymouth.

The aim each round is to answer enough questions

to get your £1,000 target in the time limit. The fastest way is to create

a chain of nine correct answers.

Get your question wrong

you break the chain and lose all the money.

If you say "bank" before a question, the money is safe.

However, you start a new chain from scratch. Remember,

at the end of the round, only banked money

can be taken forward.

In Round One, three minutes are on the clock.

-I've got a small removals firm.

We'll remove you from here now.

It'll be familiar. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Being voted off first is just the biggest thing you dread.

And I'm really gutted about it, really.

It's not fair as others got two wrong,

but having a pink shirt on I stood out.

I don't think he'll last long.

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

Helen, why Winnie?

Because he's beside me, I noticed he got one wrong.

-And he lost us some money.

-Tracey,

-why have you voted for Winnie?

-I remember him getting one question wrong.

-I can't think of anyone else.

-He wasn't the weakest link.

I think he was. He lost money.

No, I'm telling you.

-My mistake.

-He was not the weakest link.

-Was he, Diana?

-Erm...we both got one question wrong.

No, no. I'm not entering into a debate here.

-I knew I was one of three. Yes.

-But statistically you were the worst player.

Winnie!

-Is that short for Winifred?

-No, no, not at all, no.

Well, statistically, Diana was the weakest link.

But you charmed four into voting for you. You are the weakest link.

Goodbye.

I'm gutted. I thought I shouldn't have been voted off.

I was better than some of the people on there.

I wanted to show that publicans have got brains and we don't need degrees.

I think Diana will go next, who was next to me.

She was nervous and she was getting questions wrong.

Will his earlier performance save him?

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

Greg, where are you from?

-Epsom, Surrey.

-It's a pity you didn't think of that when I asked you the Oklahoma! question.

-Had he got it right it would have been £450.

-Are you at the start of a degree?

-No, I'm six weeks from the end.

-That's very worrying.

Helen, you haven't answered a question incorrectly so far - is that deliberate?

No, I got questions I knew the answers to.

-Why vote for Alan?

-He got two questions wrong and lost us money.

Alan, you've been the strongest link twice, then it went pear-shaped.

Home you go. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm disappointed to be voted off after a good start. But I did have a poor round.

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

Diana...

-Yes?

-Is your hair standing up of its own accord?

-It's so scared, mm.

-Why Tracey?

-Like me, she got two wrong.

Well, you can count - which is more than our genius accountant can do over here.

We'll try you on this one, but not with a lot of hope, Greg -

-who do you think was the weakest link in that round?

-I suppose I was, Anne.

-Had you worked it out before I gave you a HUGE hint?

-No.

-Why Tracey?

-I thought her last answer counted as a wrong one, which would have been three wrong.

-Well, you're as confusing as ever. What line of accountancy are you going in to?

-I'm not.

-That's wise.

Tracey, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think Greg should be standing here.

I did badly in that round but I did well in the previous rounds and he didn't.

Angela's getting stronger as the game progresses.

I think Helen may get worse as time goes on - she's been lucky so far

Round Five and so far you've won £2480. There are five of you left.

Having got rid of so many weaker links,

you only banked a trifling £170.

Who is no longer an essential part of the team?

Indeed, who would it be a disaster to keep?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Angela answered all her questions correctly,

making her the strongest link for the second time.

Diana failed to answer any questions correctly,

making her the weakest link.

But who will lose out in the vote?

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

-Angela.

-Yeah?

-Why do you want to get rid of Diana?

-I don't, but I don't think she got one right.

I'm afraid she's got to go.

Andrew. Why have you voted for Diana?

Er, she didn't get any questions right.

Diana, you've been more ornament than use.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think I was lucky to stay in as long as I did.

I came here, and I did not want to go off in the first round.

That was all I'm bothered about!

I knew I wouldn't win.

Asked how many letters there were in "cat", I'd have said four.

Andrew may go next. He isn't quite as good as the others.

Round Six. You've won £2650

out of a possible £5000.

There are four of you left.

We are cutting another ten seconds off the time.

Starting with Angela, let's play The Weakest Link.

Time to vote off the weakest link.

Greg is the strongest statistically.

Angela is the weakest, but was strongest in two rounds.

How will players make a choice this time?

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

That's interesting. It's a four-way tie.

Andrew the postman.

Why have you voted for Angela?

Er...I remember her hesitating and getting a couple of questions wrong.

Angela. Why have you voted for Andrew?

No-one did very well, but he got some wrong, and took a long time.

Helen. That's an interesting vote.

-Why?

-Don't ask me questions.

-Sorry, Anne.

Explain why you voted for Greg.

Well, I think he's been very lucky to hang on as long as he has.

He got a couple of questions wrong, as I did,

but I still think he's weaker than I am.

Well, he only answered one question incorrectly,

and in that round, he was the strongest link.

And as the strongest link,

he has to cast the deciding vote.

Would you rather get rid of Andrew, Angela or Helen?

-I'll stick with my choice.

-Why Helen?

She didn't keep up the exemplary standard

she'd set in earlier rounds.

You certainly kept up your standard of being incapable of counting.

Actually she only got two questions wrong.

Andrew got three, and Angela got four.

What will you do when you finish training as an accountant?

I'd like to be your toy boy.

You couldn't even count the money, could you, Greg?

Helen, perhaps unwise to vote for Greg.

He wants you to go. Goodbye.

I feel very disappointed at being voted off as the weakest link,

um...because I wasn't.

I think Greg thought I was a threat.

Now he's got rid of me, it makes it easier for him to win.

I think I'd like to see Greg go next,

because he voted me off, and he shouldn't have done.

Round Seven. You have £2790. There are three of you left.

Ten more seconds off. We start with the strongest link. That's Greg.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Start the clock.

and that means in the next round there's £3000 to be won.

Question is: Who's the hole in your pocket?

Who is least likely to get that bank balance up?

Time to vote off the weakest link.

Greg is strongest link for the second time.

Statistically, Andrew is the weakest link.

But at this crucial stage, how will the voting go?

Voting over. Time to see who you see as the weakest link.

Greg...

why have you voted for Andrew?

I felt he was a bit worse than Angela in that round.

Angela, why have you voted for Andrew?

I think he only got The Kinks question right.

I don't recall any others.

-You got one other right, didn't you, Andrew?

-I did.

But statistically you were the worst player.

If that doesn't make you feel bad enough,

I'll add you've been the weakest link overall of the three of you.

So that's a good enough reason for me to say GOODBYE.

Anne freaked me out in Round One.

My first question was very easy. I got it wrong.

That made me totally lose concentration.

I'd like to see Greg win because Angela voted for me a couple of times,

and that was out of order.

Round Eight.

In the kitty so far:

Greg and Angela, this time you'll have only 90 seconds.

But whatever you win will be trebled and added to your total to make up your final prize money.

So £3000 is at stake in this round.

We start with the strongest link from Round Seven - Greg.
