27/09/2013 Weakest Link

Of the nine contestants on today's show

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

The rest will leave with nothing as one by one they are 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 that prize money, 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.

I'm Paul. I'm 42 years old. I'm from Trelogan in north Wales.

I'm a self-employed carpenter.

I'm Ann. I'm 53 years old. I'm from Cheltenham and I'm a P.A.

I'm Jo. I'm 26. I'm from Hereford and I'm a landscape architect.

I'm Darren. I'm 34, from Arundel in West Sussex.

I'm a trout fishery manager.

I'm Kirsty. I'm 19, from Hampshire. I'm a politics and media student.

I'm David. I'm 39. I'm from Stone in Staffordshire.

I'm an inn-keeper and local town mayor.

I'm Sharmin. I'm 30. I'm from London. I'm a microbiologist.

I'm John. I'm 53, from Dundee. A driver and a part-time lookalike.

I'm Neil. I'm 26. I'm from Melton Mowbray and I'm a music therapist.

In each round the aim is to answer enough questions correctly

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

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

Get your question wrong and you lose all the money in that chain.

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

However, you start a new chain from scratch.

At the end of the round,

only money that has been banked can be taken forward.

In Round One there are three minutes on the clock.

We'll start with the person whose name is first alphabetically.

That's you, Ann.

I'm not your therapist.

But there's a lot of hostility here.

Did you have trouble playing games as a child?

Perhaps repressed feelings?

Did you come here and expect me to be polite?

-No, not at all.

-OK. Why John?

I wasn't able to bank any money. He didn't get any questions right.

John, statistically you were the worst.

I don't know what Sean Connery would think of it.

But you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I have no complaints.

I was certainly the weakest link in that round.

Sharmin may be off next. She's rather hesitant and a bit nervous.

Three votes each.

-Ann, why Sharmin?

-I don't think she got any answers right.

-So, Neil, why Darren?

-Well,

I thought he got quite a lot of them wrong.

Right. When the vote is tied,

the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote.

The strongest link was Paul the carpenter

who's only just got the shelves up at home.

-Why Darren?

-He got more questions wrong than anybody.

Well, you've got a choice now between Darren

or Sharmin. Who will it be?

I'll stick to what I've written.

So, Darren who runs a trout farm,

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think she had a bad round like I did

She had a bad round then. I really can't change my mind.

Sharmin, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

and then again and had the casting vote

as the strongest link and still chose to vote me off.

Round Five, team.

Your total, as you struggle on, is £1,090.

You're down to five players.

We take another ten seconds off you time.

We start with Ann. Let's play The Weakest Link.

For the second round in a row, Ann is the strongest with the most correct answers.

Paul is the weakest link statistically.

But how will the votes go?

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

Ann, why Jo?

and it's time she watered her plants probably!

So, Paul. Why Jo?

I believe that she had a bad round

-on that one.

-Know who else had a bad round?

Not off the top of my head.

-There's not much on the top of your head.

-Right.

Certainly no useful information like the fact that you were the worst player.

But it is votes that count.

Jo, the landscape gardener, you've been pruned. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm disappointed to be voted off because the last round I was the weakest.

This round I felt a lot stronger.

Paul and Ann vote tactically. They've been together since the start.

Their votes are similar. They're a strong pair and they'll be the last two in.

Round Six and out of a possible £5,000

Oh, well done(!)

Why Paul?

Because he didn't get any questions right.

Paul, why Kirsty?

I believe that she had her worst round and anybody else...

I couldn't vote for myself although I did have an abysmal round.

The strongest link now has to cast the deciding vote.

Our strongest link in the last round was Neil.

Why have you voted for Kirsty?

She had a worse round than Paul.

You've got a choice now between Kirsty or Paul.

I'll stay with Kirsty.

Kirsty...here's the news.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm a bit annoyed about me getting voted off

because I felt that I wasn't the weakest link, Paul was.

I want Neil voted off next because he voted me out for the wrong reasons,

not because I was the weakest link.

Round Seven

and you've banked £1,430.

Three players left. Ten seconds off the time.

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

which means there's £3,000 to be won.

The question is, who will you hang on to?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

At this crucial stage, Neil is the strongest link

as he got the most answers right.

Having survived the previous vote, Paul is still the weakest link.

Will he be taking the final walk of shame?

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

So, Neil, why have you voted for Ann?

She was worse than Paul. She could have banked some money and didn't.

I would put it to you that throughout, Ann has been the strongest player

and that she would be your biggest rival.

Paul was the weakest link.

Weren't you, Paul?

If you say so.

Ann has been the strongest. Why have you voted for her?

Simply because she is the biggest rival

-and I thought for a change we'd have a boys' final.

-OK.

Well, Ann, you go away knowing they were too frightened to take you on.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel dreadful to be voted off the show

because I feel that they ganged up on me and they just got frightened and bottled out.

I think Neil will win it because I think...

Between him and Paul, he's the cleverest. He has more general knowledge.

Round Eight and so far there is in the bank £1,600.

Two of you left.

Two cowards. You have 90 seconds.

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

So £3,000 is up for grabs.

We start with the strongest from last round.

So, Paul and Neil, for £1,840,
