27/08/2012 Weakest Link

Here are today's team of nine contestants preparing for the show.

One will go home with up to £10,000.

The rest will get nothing as team-mates vote them...

the weakest link.

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

Any of the nine people in the studio here today

could win up to £10,000.

They don't know each other,

but to win the money, they'll have to work as a team.

But eight of them will leave with nothing,

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

Let's meet the team.

I'm Catherine, I'm 22, studying BA illustration and I live in Brighton.

I'm Peter, 67, a retired banker from Earls Court in London.

I'm Jo, I'm 32, and I'm a learning mentor from Birmingham.

Chris, age 20, a medical records assistant from St Andrews.

I'm Sue, I'm 54 and a housewife from Billingham on Teesside.

I'm Alison, I'm 49, and a personal skills trainer from Ventnor, IOW.

Nick, 31. I'm a drug and alcohol counsellor from North Wales.

I'm Anne, I'm 64, and I'm a part-time data entry clerk

from Newcastle-under-Lyme.

I'm David, 52, I live in Staffordshire.

I'm a comedy entertainer.

In each round the aim is to get enough questions right to meet your £1000 target

within the time, the fastest way being to get nine in a row right.

Get one wrong, you break the chain

and lose all the money in the chain.

If you say "bank" before I ask the question,

the money is safe, but you start a new chain from scratch.

Remember, at the end of the round,

only banked money can be carried forward.

In Round One there will be three minutes on the clock.

We start with the person whose name is first alphabetically.

-Yes.

But he wasn't, was he, Sue?

I think it might have been me.

Yes? Why did you vote for Peter?

He got a question wrong.

-As I did.

-All right. Peter...

Statistically you weren't the worst player...

But alas, there's many a BAD tune played on an old fiddle.

The team have decided you ARE the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm disappointed to be voted the weakest link in Round One.

I think Sue will be voted off in the next round,

as she was the weakest link in the first round.

She got all her questions right.

The weakest link is Jo. But who will lose the vote?

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

Chris...why David?

Purely because I know he got two questions wrong.

-Anyway, you thought he was the weakest link?

Bye.

To use a cliche, I'm sick as a parrot.

I made mistakes, but they know I could have gone further.

They saw me as a threat because they know I know a lot more.

I think Jo might come off next.

She WAS nervous. But now she's cracking.

So Jo will be next.

Round Three and you have in the kitty £1290.

Anne is strongest, according to the statistics.

Alison, the first strongest link, is now weakest.

Will the votes reflect this?

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

Anne, why Jo?

I think she got more wrong than anybody else.

-Yes.

-Why Jo, then?

-She got a couple wrong.

-You thought she was the weakest link?

Alison...did you think Jo was the weakest link?

-She wasn't, statistically.

Who do you think was?

It sounds bad news for me, Anne.

It does. But you're still here, because, with four votes,

the team have decided Jo is the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think Anne and Sue have both used tactical voting.

Perhaps they feel insecure, and I'm a scapegoat.

The person I least want to win is Anne.

She got more questions than me wrong,

and she always seemed to have it in for me.

Round Four.

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

Nick.

and I didn't want to be the only male.

-Oh, you're frightened of women?

-I'm terrified.

I will agree with you there.

Good. That's always wise. Why Catherine?

Well, I did think she got one or two wrong.

-Do you know anyone else who got one or two wrong?

-Myself.

-That's right.

Catherine, you are the weakest link, goodbye.

I do feel disappointed, but also relieved,

because it's quite a stressful situation.

The person who I'd least like to win is Sue.

I think she's a bit of a know-it-all.

I think Chris could be voted off next, because he is flailing.

He has got a few wrong, and I think he's been lucky.

Round Five, and you have banked so far £1850.

Chris failed to answer any correctly, making him the weakest.

But can he survive the vote?

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

We have a tie. Anne and Chris - two votes each.

Anne, why have you voted for Chris?

Well, I know I had a horrendous round, but I thought he did, as well.

Right. Alison, why Anne?

I felt that, between Anne and Chris,

Anne was the one showing more nerves,

and I thought perhaps she got one more wrong than him.

Well, when the vote is tied, the strongest link casts the deciding vote.

Do you want to stick with Anne or move on to Chris?

I'll stay with Anne.

Right.

Anne, Alison wants to get rid of you,

but in fact, statistically,

Chris was the weakest link - he didn't get any right.

But I can't argue with Alison. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I was kicking myself about Citizen Kane. I knew it.

It just wouldn't come into my head.

I think Chris will be voted off next.

He was the weakest link just now, and survived,

and I think he's probably panicking now.

Round Six. You've won £2000 out of a possible £5000.

We take another ten seconds away and start with the strongest link.

Yes, I think so.

That says it all.

what subjects are you able to answer questions on?

Um... Not many. Football.

A Question Of Sport would suit you. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel slightly disappointed at being voted off,

but on the other hand, I did well.

I answered a lot correctly.

My general knowledge wasn't there.

I think Nick will be voted off next.

He's crumbling under the pressure.

Round Seven. You have £2020. There are three of you left.

Another ten seconds comes off the time.

We start with Alison.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

In Round Eight, you can treble what you bank.

That means, potentially, there's £3000 to be won. The question is,

who does not deserve to stay?

Have the courage

to vote off the weakest link.

Nick got all his questions right, so he's the strongest link.

Alison has become the weakest link.

But, at this crucial stage, what factors will the players take into account?

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

Nick,

why Sue?

I think she got more questions wrong than myself or Alison.

Right. Alison,

why Sue?

I had a dismal and embarrassing round,

and between Nick and Sue, Sue was the weaker.

You're correct because, statistically,

you were the worst player.

Sue, with two votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

A bit niggled, because I wasn't the weakest link.

But there wasn't much in it.

I don't know whether Alison or Nick will win.

Alison had some very strong rounds where she was the strongest link,

and Nick has some really bizarre knowledge which might help him.

Round Eight. You have in the kitty £2210 out of a possible £7000.

Alison and Nick, you have 90 seconds.

Whatever you win now will be trebled

and added to your total prize money.

So £3000 is at stake

in this round.

We start with the strongest link, that's Nick.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Whoever answers the most correctly wins.

by Australian David Warren?

The escape chute.

The correct answer is the black box flight data recorder.

After five questions, we have a tie.

So now we go into a Sudden Death situation.

The questions will continue in pairs.

Nick, if you answer correctly,

Alison will have to answer correctly or she loses. If you're wrong,

Alison will have to answer correctly to win.

So, Alison and Nick,

let's play Sudden Death.

Nick,

between 1968 and 1971, the old London Bridge was dismantled,

shipped to America and re-erected in which US State?

I'm going to say Arizona.

That is the correct answer.

Alison,

which position in the shadow cabinet was held by Tony Blair

immediately before he became Leader of the Labour Party in 1994?

He was Undersecretary of State for Finance.

The correct answer is Shadow Home Secretary.

That means, Nick, you are today's strongest link,

and you go away with £2390.

Alison, you leave with nothing.

Join us again for The Weakest Link. Goodbye.

Winning The Weakest Link, you can't describe.

It's just fantastic.

I felt, during the head to head, I was doing extremely well.

But when it came to sudden death, my mind froze

and I knew that I'd lost it.

I think if anybody deserved it, it was Alison.

I'm really sorry she didn't win, but I'm over the moon that I did!
