Here are today's team of nine contestants. Only one of them

0:00:020:00:06

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

0:00:060:00:09

The others will leave with nothing,

0:00:090:00:12

as their team-mates vote them the weakest link.

0:00:120:00:16

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:290:00:31

Any of the nine people in the studio here today

0:00:320:00:36

could win up to £10,000.

0:00:360:00:40

They don't know each other. But to get the money, they must work as a team.

0:00:400:00:45

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

I'm Judy. I'm 52.

0:00:570:00:59

I'm an office administrator and I live in Bristol.

0:00:590:01:02

I'm Feargal. I'm 30 and an application developer from Belfast.

0:01:020:01:07

I'm Andrea. I'm 29. I'm a full-time mum and I live in Lyne.

0:01:070:01:11

I'm Steve. I'm 45, a senior engineer from Stevenage.

0:01:110:01:16

I'm Samantha, 30 years old,

0:01:160:01:18

a sales rep from Prescot near Liverpool.

0:01:180:01:22

I'm Paul. I'm 55 years old,

0:01:220:01:25

a self-employed surveyor from Middleton Tyas in Yorkshire.

0:01:250:01:29

I'm Linda. I'm 36, a telephone health advisor from Glasgow.

0:01:290:01:34

I'm Marian. I'm 65. I'm a retired schoolteacher from Towyn in Gwynedd.

0:01:340:01:40

I'm Mike, 27 years old.

0:01:420:01:45

Now, the rules. The aim is to answer enough questions to reach your £1000 target

0:01:450:01:51

within the time limit. The fastest way is to create a chain of nine answers.

0:01:510:01:57

Get one wrong and you break the chain and lose the money. If you say "bank",

0:01:570:02:03

the money is safe.

0:02:030:02:06

However, you start a new chain from scratch.

0:02:060:02:09

Remember, at the end of the round,

0:02:090:02:12

only banked money can be taken on.

0:02:120:02:15

In Round One, you get three minutes on the clock.

0:05:470:05:51

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:06:020:06:06

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

Marian may be voted off next.

0:07:410:07:43

She has good general knowledge

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

Andrea is the strongest link for the second time.

0:16:070:16:11

Statistically, Feargal is the weakest.

0:16:110:16:14

But will the voting follow the facts?

0:16:140:16:18

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

0:16:190:16:24

Mike, tell me.

0:16:390:16:41

You said God asked Moses to remove his jacket at the burning bush.

0:16:410:16:46

Was that a sports jacket or a dinner jacket?

0:16:460:16:49

It was a sports jacket. It was a bit warm.

0:16:490:16:53

Hence the burning bush.

0:16:530:16:55

-And you thought Steve was the weakest?

-Definitely.

0:16:550:16:59

But he WASN'T the weakest statistically.

0:16:590:17:02

-Was he, Feargal?

-I guess not.

0:17:020:17:04

No. Who do you guess was?

0:17:040:17:06

Er...me?

0:17:060:17:08

Correct. That's one you got right,

0:17:080:17:10

having got none right in that last round.

0:17:100:17:13

But Steve, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:17:130:17:17

My friends are going to tease me, but I didn't go in the first round,

0:17:220:17:27

so I can still walk with my head held high.

0:17:270:17:30

Feargal should go next,

0:17:300:17:32

and he should have gone this time.

0:17:320:17:35

He was the weakest link, but that's how it goes.

Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:20:450:20:47

Only Marian got all of her questions right. She is the strongest link.

0:20:500:20:55

Samantha is the weakest link, but will the other players have noticed this?

0:20:550:21:01

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

0:21:040:21:08

Marian,

0:21:230:21:25

why Feargal?

0:21:250:21:27

I think he was the weakest link, but I'm not sure.

0:21:270:21:31

OK.

0:21:310:21:33

-Judy, what do you do?

-I'm an office manager.

0:21:330:21:36

-Got any qualifications?

-I'm a qualified journalist!

A QUALIFIED journalist?!

I did the National Council For The Training Of Journalism courses.

0:21:500:21:55

-They taught you...?

-Have I done something wrong?

0:21:550:21:58

Is my thing upside down?

0:21:580:22:01

-Erm...how to be a subeditor.

-Right.

0:22:010:22:04

Why Feargal?

0:22:040:22:06

He clashes with my blouse!

0:22:060:22:08

Not because he's the weakest link?

0:22:080:22:11

He has been failing over the last two rounds.

0:22:110:22:15

Well, Marian thought Feargal was MAYBE the weakest link.

0:22:150:22:19

Judy, the QUALIFIED journalist doesn't like him, because he clashes with her blouse.

0:22:190:22:26

Samantha,

0:22:260:22:28

-who did you think was the weakest link?

-Judy.

0:22:280:22:31

She wasn't.

0:22:310:22:33

-Have another go.

-Feargal?

0:22:330:22:36

-No. Have another go.

-Me?

0:22:360:22:38

Correct!

0:22:380:22:40

But it's votes that count. Samantha, statistically,

0:22:400:22:44

was the worst player,

0:22:440:22:47

but Feargal, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:22:470:22:50

Andrea will vote tactically.

0:22:560:22:58

There are strong players and she wants to win.

0:22:580:23:01

I think Judy will go next. She's getting nervous and hesitant.

0:23:010:23:06

As the questions get harder, she'll go next.

0:23:060:23:09

Round Five.

0:23:110:23:13

£70

0:26:000:26:02

is all you managed in that round.

0:26:020:26:05

Who is no longer up to it? Keep the mean, ditch the lean!

0:26:050:26:09

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:26:090:26:12

Having survived as the weakest link, Samantha is now the strongest link.

0:26:140:26:20

Mike failed to answer any of his questions. He is the weakest link.

0:26:200:26:25

But who is about to take the walk of shame?

0:26:250:26:28

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

0:26:290:26:33

Marian, it all went pear-shaped

0:26:460:26:49

in that last round for you.

0:26:490:26:52

Just a little bit. Yes.

0:26:520:26:54

-Quite a little bit, actually.

-Was it? Oh.

0:26:540:26:57

I'm... I'm not sure how many I got right or wrong,

0:26:570:27:01

but I know Mike got more wrong.

0:27:010:27:04

That's why I voted for him.

0:27:040:27:06

Andrea.

0:27:060:27:08

-Why Mike?

-He got three questions wrong, Anne.

-No, he didn't.

0:27:080:27:13

I THOUGHT he did.

0:27:130:27:15

He got four questions wrong. Mike...

0:27:150:27:18

In that round alone - art, music, religion and politics,

0:27:180:27:22

never mind that you think Moses took off his sports jacket

0:27:220:27:26

at the burning bush!

0:27:260:27:28

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:27:280:27:31

I can't argue about being voted off. I got four wrong.

0:27:390:27:42

But I've enjoyed myself.

0:27:420:27:44

At least I wasn't voted first off.

0:27:440:27:47

No-one's used tactics yet but I think Andrea will later.

Her and Marian will be in the final.

you won just £90.

0:30:350:30:37

Whose day is done? Who doesn't deserve to stay?

0:30:370:30:40

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:30:400:30:43

Samantha is the strongest link for the second time.

0:30:450:30:48

Marian is the weakest link,

0:30:480:30:50

that was a pretty unfortunate round, wasn't it?

-Yes, not good.

0:31:410:31:43

-What did Marian do?

-I think she got the most questions wrong and I thought she was the weakest link.

0:31:430:31:51

Marian, your time is up.

0:31:510:31:53

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

0:31:530:31:57

I'm very disappointed to have been voted off at this stage,

0:32:050:32:10

because it is so near, yet so far.

0:32:100:32:14

I wouldn't like Judy to win because I think Samantha and Andrea

0:32:140:32:18

have been a lot better than her throughout the whole programme.

0:32:180:32:23

Round Seven. So far you have...

Have the courage to vote off the weakest link.

0:35:110:35:14

After a disappointing round,

0:35:150:35:18

Judy is the strongest link, statistically.

0:35:180:35:21

Samantha has gone from strongest to weakest,

0:35:210:35:24

as she failed to answer any of her questions.

0:35:240:35:27

But, at this crucial stage, who will lose out in the vote?

0:35:270:35:31

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

0:35:330:35:38

Judy, the qualified journalist...

0:35:460:35:49

Let the ground open up and swallow me.

0:35:490:35:53

What did Andrea do that was worse than you?

0:35:530:35:56

I couldn't remember who else got one right.

0:35:560:35:58

I couldn't choose between. I'm sorry.

0:35:580:36:01

Oh, so when you were qualifying as a journalist, they didn't teach you to count either?

0:36:010:36:08

Obviously not, Anne.

0:36:080:36:10

OK. Samantha.

0:36:100:36:12

-Why did you think Andrea was the weakest link?

-I knew I hadn't got a question right.

0:36:120:36:18

And I just couldn't remember who had.

0:36:180:36:21

OK. Well, I hope you feel bad because, actually,

0:36:210:36:25

Andrea was not the weakest link in that last round.

0:36:250:36:28

-Can you guess who was, Samantha?

-It was obviously me.

-That's right.

0:36:280:36:34

Andrea has been the strongest link of the three of you in the game.

0:36:340:36:38

So there's plenty of sisterhood operating here.

0:36:380:36:41

Samantha, statistically,

0:36:410:36:44

was the worst player but, Andrea,

0:36:440:36:46

the full-time mother, with two votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:36:460:36:52

The others voted me off because I was a threat. They want to win the money

0:36:590:37:04

and they made sure that I couldn't.

0:37:040:37:08

I feel very happy. I've done well. I haven't let myself down.

0:37:080:37:13

I am disappointed not to have won.

0:37:130:37:15

Samantha will win. Her confidence has grown

0:37:150:37:18

but Judy's is diminishing.

0:37:180:37:20

Round Eight.

0:37:230:37:24

So far in the kitty...

0:37:240:37:27

..out of a possible £7000.

0:37:270:37:30

Judy and Samantha, just the two of you left.

0:37:300:37:33

You've got rid of the mother. You have 90 seconds

0:37:330:37:36

but this round's winnings will be trebled

0:37:360:37:39

to make up your prize money. £3000 is at stake.
