Here are the nine contestants on today's show.

0:00:020:00:04

One will take home prize money of up to £10,000.

0:00:040:00:07

The rest of the team wins nothing,

0:00:070:00:09

as, one by one, they're voted off as the weakest link.

0:00:090:00:14

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:280:00:30

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

0:00:320:00:39

They don't know each other but if they want the prize money,

0:00:390:00:43

they'll have to work as a team.

0:00:430:00:45

But eight of them will leave with nothing,

0:00:450:00:48

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

0:00:480:00:53

Let's meet the team.

0:00:530:00:55

My name is Graham. I'm 44.

0:00:560:00:59

I come from Bath and I'm a payroll manager.

0:00:590:01:02

I'm Louise. I'm 34.

0:01:030:01:05

I live in York and I work in customer services.

0:01:050:01:08

I'm Mark. I'm 28. I come from Bolton and I'm a retail manager.

0:01:080:01:13

I come from Ormskirk and work in the City of London.

0:01:140:01:18

I'm Karen. I'm 21. I come from Glasgow and I'm a student.

0:01:190:01:23

My name's Jessamy. I'm 27.

0:01:230:01:26

I come from London and I'm a musician.

0:01:260:01:28

I'm Shelley. I'm 42.

0:01:410:01:44

and I'm a housewife and insurance underwriter.

0:01:440:01:48

The aim is to answer enough questions correctly

0:01:480:01:51

to reach your £1,000 target within the time limit.

0:01:510:01:56

The fastest way is to create a chain of nine correct answers.

0:01:560:02:00

Get your question wrong and you lose all the money.

0:02:000:02:04

But if you say "bank" before the question, the money is safe.

0:02:040:02:08

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

0:02:080:02:12

only money that has been banked can be carried forward.

0:02:120:02:16

In Round One, you have three minutes.

0:02:160:02:19

We start with the person whose name is first alphabetically.

0:02:190:02:24

0:05:290:05:33

END-OF-ROUND JINGLE

0:05:330:05:34

Time's up. The correct answer is Pre-Raphaelite.

0:05:340:05:38

And that was fantastically terrible.

0:05:390:05:42

Out of the £1,000 you could have won, you banked a mere £50.

0:05:590:06:01

Statistically, the strongest link is Nigel.

0:06:040:06:07

The weakest link is Louise.

0:06:070:06:09

Will the team realise that?

0:06:090:06:11

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

0:06:120:06:16

-What sort of money do you deal in?

-Large amounts. Millions.

0:06:560:07:01

Why Jessamy?

0:07:010:07:02

She got her questions wrong and she had the chance to bank and didn't.

0:07:020:07:07

How's it going, Sharon?

0:07:070:07:10

-Not too bad.

-What do you do?

0:07:100:07:12

I'm a housewife and part-time insurance underwriter.

0:07:120:07:16

Where do you do that?

0:07:160:07:18

In Northamptonshire.

0:07:180:07:20

-No, not in Kent.

0:07:200:07:24

-What's your geography like?

-Usually better than that.

0:07:240:07:28

Why Jessamy?

0:07:280:07:30

I heard the Quasimodo question and I thought she'd know that one.

0:07:300:07:35

So, Louise,

0:07:390:07:40

hardly anyone noticed, did they?

0:07:400:07:42

Master of disguise.

0:07:420:07:44

You were the worst player, weren't you?

0:07:440:07:47

I didn't think I was the worst.

0:07:470:07:51

I'm telling you.

0:07:510:07:52

I'm surprised. I thought I wasn't too bad.

0:07:520:07:55

You thought Schindler's first name was Michael?

0:07:550:07:59

That was unfortunate.

0:07:590:08:01

I've seen the film,

0:08:010:08:03

-and couldn't grapple his name from my mind, unfortunately.

-OK.

0:08:030:08:10

-Why Jessamy?

-I felt she got more wrong than I did

0:08:100:08:13

and she sort of dallied on some of her answers, as well.

0:08:130:08:17

Well, she got the same amount wrong as you did, actually.

0:08:170:08:21

You were the worst player, statistically.

0:08:220:08:25

But, Jessamy, the musician,

0:08:250:08:27

you're out of tune. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:08:270:08:32

I feel devastated about being voted off.

0:08:390:08:41

Just incredibly humiliated.

0:08:410:08:44

Louise will probably be voted off next

0:08:440:08:47

as she was the weakest link in the first round.

0:08:470:08:51

Round Two, team.

0:08:520:08:54

£50 is all you've got in the kitty.

0:08:540:08:56

You could have had £1,000.

0:08:570:08:59

Eight of you left. We'll take 10 seconds off the clock

0:08:590:09:03

Statistically, Karen is the weakest link.

0:12:250:12:28

What will the other players take into consideration as they vote?

0:12:280:12:33

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

Nigel, from Ormskirk near Liverpool.

0:12:530:12:56

Did you go to school in Ormskirk?

0:12:560:12:58

I did.

0:12:580:12:59

Did you watch TV?

0:12:590:13:01

I watched quite a bit, but not the Alexei Sayle show.

0:13:010:13:05

And you think that a skinhead who had a series in the '80s and '90s

0:13:050:13:10

and came from Liverpool is Lily Savage?

0:13:100:13:13

Graham,

0:13:240:13:27

Nobody's paid in cash. It all goes down the telephone line.

0:13:270:13:32

-Do you wear that shirt to work?

-No.

0:13:320:13:36

Good. Why Karen?

0:13:360:13:39

She got a few questions wrong.

0:13:390:13:41

Still here, Louise?

0:13:410:13:43

I had a good round, Anne.

0:13:430:13:45

-You come from York, do you?

-I do.

-Were you brought up in York?

0:13:450:13:49

Helping customers and sorting problems out.

0:14:000:14:03

It'll be the first time.

0:14:030:14:05

Why Karen?

0:14:050:14:06

It was unfortunate. She got a few questions wrong so she had to go.

0:14:060:14:11

Right.

0:14:110:14:13

Karen, statistically, you were the worst player.

0:14:130:14:16

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:14:160:14:19

I'm really disappointed I've been voted off second.

0:14:240:14:28

It's better than being voted off first but I wanted to do better.

0:14:280:14:32

I think Shelley might be voted off next,

0:14:320:14:35

because she received votes in both rounds

0:14:350:14:39

and the maths question she got wrong sticks in my head.

0:14:390:14:43

Round Three. You've won £290 out of a possible £2,000.

0:14:440:14:48

You're down to seven.

0:14:480:14:50

We're taking ten seconds off.

0:14:500:14:52

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

0:17:440:17:48

Whose hopes of winning should now be dashed?

0:17:480:17:51

Whose day is done? Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:17:510:17:55

Statistically, Tristram is the weakest link,

0:17:560:18:00

while Nigel is the strongest link.

0:18:000:18:03

But how will the votes go?

0:18:030:18:05

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

0:18:060:18:10

We have a tie, team.

0:18:230:18:25

Tristram and Louise, three votes each.

0:18:260:18:30

Shelley, you're a nurse.

0:18:300:18:32

-Yes, Anne. I am.

-Where do you nurse?

0:18:320:18:35

On a gynaecology ward.

0:18:350:18:37

Is it an NHS hospital or a private hospital?

0:18:370:18:40

It's an NHS hospital.

0:18:400:18:42

Why Louise?

0:18:420:18:44

She didn't know Queen Victoria reigned longest.

0:18:440:18:48

Hello, Tristram.

0:18:480:18:49

-Greetings.

-What do you do?

0:18:490:18:51

-I work in Audit Control.

-Where do you do that?

0:18:510:18:55

Just round the corner from where I live, in Bedfont.

0:18:550:18:58

-In where?

-Bedfont.

0:18:580:19:00

-Where's Bedfont?

-It's near Staines.

0:19:000:19:03

-Good restaurants there?

-Not bad. Not too bad.

0:19:030:19:06

-Good fish and chip shops?

-Um... Yeah, I think so.

0:19:070:19:12

They sell filet mignon?

0:19:120:19:15

I haven't tried it so I wouldn't know. Sorry.

0:19:150:19:18

Did it not occur to you that a question which asked which MEAT

0:19:180:19:22

would not have the answer "fish"?

0:19:220:19:25

Afterwards, yes. But that's no good.

0:19:250:19:28

Why Louise?

0:19:280:19:29

I recall Louise having a few bad rounds previous to this one

0:19:290:19:34

and with the Victoria question, I thought she should have known that.

0:19:340:19:40

Graham, why Tristram?

0:19:400:19:43

I thought he had a bad round there, Anne.

0:19:430:19:45

Louise.

0:19:480:19:49

-Yes.

-Why Tristram?

0:19:490:19:51

It was the meat question that did it for me.

0:19:510:19:54

Not the Queen Victoria question?

0:19:540:19:57

No, I thought meat was worse.

0:19:570:19:59

When the vote's tied, the strongest link has to decide.

0:20:000:20:05

Nigel, who would you like to get rid of? Tristram or Louise?

0:20:050:20:10

-Tristram.

-Why?

0:20:100:20:13

Because he got a couple of questions wrong.

0:20:130:20:16

I think meat and fish was the most basic question.

0:20:160:20:20

Oh, and also, he voted for me last time.

0:20:200:20:23

Tristram, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:20:250:20:29

I don't think Nigel made the right decision.

0:20:340:20:37

Could be tactical, trying to keep a weaker link in the game

0:20:370:20:41

until one of the later rounds.

0:20:410:20:44

Louise will be voted off next. She's lasted this long by chance.

0:20:440:20:48

And it's evident that she's going to be next. Definitely.

0:20:480:20:54

Round Four. £410 banked so far out of a potential prize of £3,000.

Whose pub has now very definitely run out of beer?

0:23:520:23:56

Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:23:570:23:59

Nigel is the weakest link because he gave the most wrong answers.

0:24:020:24:06

Shelley is the strongest link

0:24:070:24:10

but will the votes reflect the statistics?

0:24:100:24:13

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

-don't you like investment bankers?

-Not particularly.

0:24:330:24:37

They take your money and never give it back.

-He had a particularly bad round.

0:24:420:24:47

Mark, from Bolton, did you go to school?

0:24:470:24:50

Yeah, sometimes.

0:24:540:24:58

Er...somewhere in primary school, I believe.

0:24:590:25:03

-Didn't get an answer right.

0:25:040:25:07

So obviously had to go.

Nigel, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:25:100:25:14

In the last round, I didn't do particularly well.

0:25:200:25:22

I was the strongest link in two rounds.

0:25:220:25:25

I think they saw me as a threat.

0:25:250:25:27

I haven't got a popular profession, so they voted me off.

0:25:270:25:30

I hope Shelley gets voted off next

0:25:300:25:33

because she's got lots of questions wrong.

0:25:330:25:36

She voted for me twice and I hope she goes off next.

0:25:360:25:40

Round Five. Of the £4,000 you could have won, you've got just £540.

For the second time, Sharon is the strongest link.

Shelley is now the weakest link, but will the voting reflect reality?

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

I think the worst of a very bad bunch.

Graham.

-Why Louise?

-I think she was.

0:29:190:29:23

Shelley.

Anne, I know.

Only one of them noticed.

She was NEARLY as bad as myself.

She was.

She's hardly been brilliant, have you, dear?

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

To get a few answers right on the trot

would be a good way of getting some money in the bank.

0:30:000:30:05

Shelley should be the next to go.

0:30:050:30:07

She's got a few easy questions wrong

0:30:070:30:10

and she dithers, so Shelley should be the next one off.

0:33:390:33:44

-Graham, have you ganged up against the women?

-No!

0:33:440:33:49

Not at all. Wouldn't dream of it.

0:33:490:33:52

It certainly looks like that. Why have you voted for Sharon?

0:33:520:33:56

Because she was weakest in that round.

0:33:560:33:59

-And you now have a chance to change your mind.

-I'll stick with Sharon.

0:33:590:34:04

Sharon, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:34:040:34:07

I think the boys were very pleased to see me have a bad round,

0:34:130:34:18

and get rid of me, because I've been the strongest link a couple of times.

0:34:180:34:23

Shelley will be next. She's at the other side and she's a girl.

0:34:230:34:27

The boys will gang up on her.

0:34:270:34:29

Round Seven. Of a possible £6,000, you have in your kitty just £840.

0:34:310:34:36

There are three of you left.

0:34:360:34:38

Another ten seconds comes off the time.

0:34:380:34:41

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

ENDOF-ROUND JINGLE

0:36:480:36:50

Time's up. Just £90 you won.

0:36:500:36:53

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

0:36:530:36:58

So, in the next round, potentially, there's £3,000 to be won.

0:36:580:37:03

The question is,

0:37:030:37:05

who are you going to get rid of? Who are you going to keep?

0:37:050:37:09

It's time to vote off the WEAKEST link.

0:37:090:37:13

At this crucial stage of the game, Mark is the strongest link.

0:37:150:37:20

Shelley is the weakest link, having answered no questions correctly.

0:37:200:37:24

But who will lose out in the final vote?

0:37:240:37:28

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

0:37:290:37:33

Mark, you must be astonished that you're still here.

0:37:430:37:47

Shocked.

0:37:470:37:49

Shocked. I've done terrible.

0:37:490:37:51

No excuses.

0:37:510:37:53

-Why Shelley?

-I thought she was the weakest link in that round.

0:37:540:37:59

-Graham, even more amazing that YOU'RE here.

-I think you're right.

0:37:590:38:03

-Why Shelley?

-We were all rubbish in that round,

0:38:030:38:07

but I remember Mark getting a couple right.

0:38:070:38:10

Shelley, the guys don't think you've delivered the goods.

0:38:100:38:15

Back to gynaecology for you.

0:38:160:38:18

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:38:180:38:21

I'm very disappointed I didn't get through to the last two.

0:38:270:38:32

I thought if I didn't get off by the second or third round,

0:38:320:38:36

I had a good chance. I hope that Graham and Mark do not win an awful lot of money in the final round.

0:38:360:38:43

They deserve each other.

0:38:430:38:45

Round Eight. You've won £930 out of a possible £7,000.

0:38:470:38:52

Graham and Mark, two of you left. You have 90 seconds.

0:38:530:38:57

But whatever you win will be trebled and added to your total

0:38:570:39:00

to make up your final prize money.

0:39:000:39:03

So £3,000 is at stake. We'll start with the strongest link, Mark.

0:39:030:39:08

0:40:430:40:44

Time's up.

0:40:460:40:47

You won £50 which we'll treble and add to previous winnings.

0:40:470:40:52

That means prize money today of £1,080.

0:40:520:41:00

That is equal to the lowest ever score

0:41:000:41:06

in the history of The Weakest Link in the UK.

0:41:060:41:10

Low as it is, only one of you can take that money home.

0:41:130:41:17

You will now be playing against each other head-to-head.

0:41:170:41:21

I ask alternate questions. Whoever answers the most correctly wins.

0:41:210:41:26

So, Graham and Mark, for £1,080,

0:41:260:41:32

let's play The Weakest Link.

0:41:320:41:34

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

I'll go first, Anne.
