25/10/2012 Weakest Link

Nine contestants are 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're voted off as

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 each other.

However, if they want to win, they'll have to 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.

My name is Joanna.

I'm 30, and I'm from Aylesbury. I am an IT tutor.

My name's David. I'm 47.

I'm from Leyland, Lancashire, and I'm a project manager in a bank.

I'm Andy. I'm 28.

I'm from Widnes, Cheshire. I'm a buyer.

My name is Anita. I'm 51.

I'm from Wallasey, and I'm a civil servant.

My name is Keenan. I'm 18 years old.

I'm from London - Richmond, and I'm a student.

My name is Edwina. I'm 42 years of age.

The rules. In each round, answer enough questions correctly

to reach the £1000 target

within the time limit. The fastest way

is with a chain of nine correct answers.

Answer wrong and you break the chain and lose the money.

Say "bank" by the end of the question

and the money is safe. However,

you start a new chain from scratch.

At the end of the round,

only money that is banked is taken forward.

There are three minutes on the clock.

We start with the person whose name is first in the alphabet. Andy.

In Round One, Anita is the strongest link.

Statistically, John is the weakest link.

Will the team realise this?

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

Not near enough that we can understand you.

Thought so.

-Just name one other.

Oh, I can't. They might vote me off, so I'm not going to.

Let me name one for you - Keenan.

Oh, yes. OK.

John. The retired window cleaner's head is still up a ladder in the clouds.

With five votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I can't blame them.

I made it too easy for them.

My friends will rib me for months.

"You came off first! You're the weakest link!"

Keenan is next. He's digging a hole for himself. He'll fall in.

Round Two. You've won a pathetic £260 out of a possible £1000.

With eight of you left, we take 10 seconds off the clock.

We'll start with the strongest from Round One - Anita.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

However, will the team notice that?

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

David.

He was weakest, I thought.

Statistically, of course, he wasn't the worst.

-Was he, Vee?

-He wasn't, Anne.

-You know who was?

-I'm afraid it was me.

-It's votes that count.

Keenan - so much education, so little knowledge!

With five votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I don't think I should be off, and I'm very disappointed.

Very angry at the team. I don't care who wins. No one deserved it more than I did.

The questions I got wrong were actually difficult.

Anyone who got them should win.

Vee should go next. She's not clever and hasn't much general knowledge,

unlike me, and she's got to go.

Round Three, team.

You've won £800 out of a possible £2000.

For you seven, we take 10 more seconds off the clock.

We start with the strongest now - Peter.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Peter has gone from being strongest to weakest link,

whilst Vee is now the strongest link.

Will this be reflected in the votes?

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

We have a three-way tie. Vee, Anita and Joanna.

Each of you have got two votes. Peter.

-Why Vee?

-She didn't have a bad round. I think she was just lucky to survive the previous round.

-Do you think you had a good round?

-Not particularly.

-Edwina, why Joanna?

-Er... She got one wrong.

Most people had a good round,

but she voted for me last round, so it's dog eat dog.

-So revenge?

-Absolutely.

-Karate Kid Andy.

-Yes, Anne.

-Why Anita?

She got one wrong and wasted a bit of time.

When the vote is tied, the strongest link has to decide.

Vee, as the strongest link, you have the choice of who goes.

Would you like to get rid of Anita or Joanna?

Anita, I think.

-Why?

-I think she got a couple wrong.

-Really?

She only got one wrong.

Interestingly, the weakest link wasn't in the running.

Peter was the weakest link statistically,

but Anita - a grave mistake to have a question repeated.

Vee has had enough of you. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm devastated to have been voted off at this point.

I was in two minds who to vote for. I nearly chose Vee, and if I had she'd be here.

Vee's done well to get as far as she's got.

She's had two appalling rounds

and she's not going to run the course.

Round Four, team. £1,140 banked out of a possible £3,000.

Six of you left. We are taking ten seconds off your time. You now have two and a half minutes.

We start with the strongest link - Vee. Let's play The Weakest Link.

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

-I can be.

-Vee, remind us what you do.

-I'm a landlady.

-Who do you landlady for?

-Mainly lorry drivers and cab drivers.

-Do you get lorry drivers from China?

-Just as well, because you think Beijing is in the Lebanon.

That was bad.

Why Joanna?

This was pure revenge. She voted me off on one of my strong rounds.

Well, statistically, Joanna was the worst player.

With three votes you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel disappointed about being voted off.

I feel that Vee and Edwina had maybe got together to plot my downfall.

I think Edwina will be off next. She did vote for me twice

and I am bitter about that.

I would like to see her go next.

Round Five.

Your total is £1,300. If you'd hit your targets it would be £4,000.

the Karate Kid is going back to Widnes. Goodbye.

Edwina should be here now. She'd had weaker rounds and I was a better player.

I've been betrayed by David. I don't know why he voted for me and I hope he's here next.

Well, we lost £100 with the Millwall question.

I don't like Millwall FC anyway, so two reasons there.

And she's from London.

-Edwina, why Vee?

-Losing the money, I think.

Well, she lost the money.

Statistically she was the worst player.

She thinks Beijing is in the Lebanon.

Back to the lorry drivers. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm feeling angry about being voted off.

I began to get the killer instinct, although belatedly.

I thought I was in with a chance.

I should have known the Millwall question.

My best friend's husband has got Millwall tattooed across his chest.

I think Peter should be here now.

He's been scraping through. He's a bit of a beige kind of person.

You don't notice him much, but he was making a lot of errors.

Round Seven. You've won £1,870 out of a possible £6,000.

There are three of you left.

Another ten seconds off the time.

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

Have the courage to vote off the weakest link.

Peter is the strongest link for the third time in the game.

Edwina is the weakest. She got the most wrong.

At this pivotal point in the game, which way will the votes go?

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

Peter from Scotland, why Edwina from Wales?

She played a very strong game throughout, but in that round

she got two wrong and hesitated over one.

David from Lancashire,

who doesn't know about The Full Monty from Yorkshire.

I try not to think about naked Yorkshiremen.

-Why Edwina?

-She got one more wrong than I did.

Edwina, statistically you were the worst player.

With two votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm disappointed. I should be in the final. I was one of the strongest there.

I'm annoyed I got the question wrong about Carrie Fisher's mother.

I knew it was Debbie Reynolds. Films is my specialist subject.

I think Peter has been lucky to get away with it so far.

Out of the two of them, Dave is the stronger one.

I think he'll win.

Round Eight. You've won £1,990.

By now you could have had in the kitty £7,000.

David and Peter,

two of you left, and this time you have just 90 seconds.

What you win in this round will be trebled and added to your total

to make your final prize money.

You play head-to-head. Alternate questions, best of five.

Whoever gets the most correct wins.

So, David and Peter, for £2,320, let's play The Weakest Link.

Anne's like my sister-in-law so I was prepared.

I knew more of David's questions.

Had I been voted off, I wouldn't have held any grudges. Not much!

I played a strong game until the final.

I wouldn't have done any better with an extra week.

People going home with nothing doesn't worry me. I got the money.
