29/01/2013 Weakest Link

Nine contestants prepare for today's show.

One will win 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 the 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 Patrick. I'm 58.

I live in Stafford, and I'm a visual impairment co-ordinator.

I'm Mandeep. I'm 30, from Hitchin, Hertfordshire.

I'm a financial analyst.

My name's Carla. I'm 27.

I live in east London, and I'm an assistant claims manager.

I'm Elaine. I'm 39.

I'm from Hull. I'm a project and development worker.

My name is Mhairi. I'm 28.

I'm from Irvine, Ayrshire. I'm a full-time mother of two.

I'm Clive. I'm 35.

I'm from Croydon, and I'm a train duty manager.

I'm Mark. I'm 23, from Bristol, and I'm a helpline operator.

My name is Pauline. I'm 47.

I live in Langley, Berkshire, and I'm an IT trainer.

I'm Chris. I'm 46.

I live in Oxford, and I'm a mental health nurse.

Now, the rules. 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 an answer wrong and you break the chain

and lose all the money in that chain.

Say "bank" before the question is asked, and the money is safe.

However, you start a new chain.

After a round, only money that has been banked

is carried forward.

Round One, with three minutes on the clock, starts

with the name that's first alphabetically - Carla.

Let's play the Weakest Link.

-Hi, gorgeous.

SUPPRESSED GIGGLES

Why Mhairi?

Mhairi unfortunately was the only person

to get two answers wrong.

Patrick. You weren't very awake.

Why Mhairi?

She got two wrong.

I got one wrong, so I was middle-of-the-road.

In whose opinion were you middle-of-the-road?

-My own, because...

-We're not interested.

Mhairi, I'll never discover why there's an H in your name.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I am absolutely gutted to be voted off first. It is so humiliating.

I got two wrong, but I think they were harsh.

I'd like to see Clive go next. He's cocky, arrogant,

and a train driver. We know what trains are like - slow.

Round Two.

£270 in the kitty, out of a possible £1,000.

Root out the rubbish. Turf out the terribles.

Sack the slackers.

It's time to vote off

the weakest link.

As the player with the most wrong answers, Mark is weakest.

The strongest link is Patrick,

but will the votes reflect reality?

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

So Elaine, from Hull,

what happened to you, then?

I don't know. The rock band that came into my head was Guns N' Roses.

I knew it was The Who. Silly.

How old would Guns N' Roses have been then?

I've no idea!

But they're older than me.

I don't think so.

Oh, I do, Anne.

-How old are you?

-39.

They must be knocking on.

But not as far as you've knocked on.

-Why Mark?

-He got all his questions wrong.

He did indeed.

Let's move on to another musical expert.

Mandeep?

-Hiya.

-Dusty Springfield, Georgie Fame... who cares?

It's the same thing to you.

1960s...Dusty's the first one that came into my mind, really.

-Why Mark?

-He got too many wrong.

He did. So clever,

or so he thinks.

Statistically he was worst.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I feel happy that I didn't get voted off first.

I had the express desire not to go first.

I was voted off fairly. I got my answers wrong.

I fluffed it.

Round Three. You've won £470 out of a possible £2,000.

You're down to seven players.

We take ten more seconds off your time.

Whose dreams of riches

are about to turn to rags? Who's more thick than quick?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Statistics show Elaine is the strongest link again.

Clive is the weakest link,

failing to answer one question correctly.

Will the others realise that?

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

Carla, you can't tell Thailand from India, dear.

Well, I can, but I didn't know the answer, so I guessed.

I thought I did well with dry rot, though.

I'm sorry?

I thought I did well with the other question.

What's that got to do with anything?

I just thought I'd chip that in.

-Why Clive?

-Because he got a couple wrong.

So, Mandeep.

-Why Clive?

-I do believe he got most of his questions wrong,

and he's the weakest link.

Clive, statistically you were the worst player.

It's got no better. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm distraught at being voted off.

I came here because I wanted to go away with the money.

I'm even angrier

that I didn't even get a chance to have a swipe at Anne Robinson.

I think Mandeep is showing some strain,

and I reckon he might be voted off next.

Round Four. £670 banked

out of a potential £3,000.

you managed.

Who's the donkey in the derby?

Who's bewitched, bothered, bewildered?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Statistically the weakest is Patrick,

the only player not to answer a single question correctly.

The strongest link is Chris.

Will the other players know that?

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

We have a tie, team.

Mandeep and Patrick - two each. Carla, why Patrick?

-He got a couple wrong.

-Pauline,

why Mandeep?

Well, he didn't get Vivienne Westwood or the Bogart one,

-so I thought, "He's just got to go."

-Well, when the vote's tied,

the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote.

The strongest link that time was Chris.

Your choice is between Mandeep and Patrick.

Who do you want to get rid of?

Mandeep, because Bogart was a bad mistake.

Well, interestingly, statistically,

Patrick was the worst player.

But it would be fair to say

that in these few minutes, Mandeep has excelled himself.

HE LAUGHS

Mandeep, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I should still be out there, because I've caused hysterics

with the answers I've been giving.

I'd like Patrick to go next.

I was a scapegoat, and what comes around goes around.

Round Five. Your total is £820 out of a possible £4,000.

There are five of you left - middle-of-the-road Patrick,

Carla, our expert on dry rot,

Elaine from Hull,

Pauline, who trains other people,

and smart aleck Chris.

Ten seconds are taken away.

We start with the strongest link last time.

For the second round in a row, Chris is strongest,

answering most questions correctly.

Statistically, Carla is the weakest, but can she survive the vote?

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

We have another tie, team.

Carla and Chris - two votes each.

Patrick.

-Why Carla?

-She got the same number wrong as me,

so that was the state of play, really.

Pauline - an odd choice. Why Chris?

I've taken a leaf out of his book.

I've watched the way he's voted, and I believe he's using tactics.

-We should get rid of him.

-Well, when the vote's tied,

the strongest link casts the deciding vote.

Interestingly, the strongest link was Chris.

So, Chris, you stand accused of tactical voting.

No, I'm just concentrating on the questions.

-What work do you do?

-I'm in senior management in nursing.

So, a bossy-boots by nature.

Why did you vote for Carla?

Well, I think

she's good at some areas,

but some areas are a bit obscure to her.

I think you need a wider ability to survive.

Carla, you delighted us, but you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I knew, as soon as the voting came up,

that Chris would be the strongest link,

and he wouldn't vote for himself, so it would be me.

As soon as I saw the names come up, I thought, "Oh, no!"

I think Chris will go next, because the girls will vote him off,

to give themselves a better chance to win.

Round Six,

and of the £5,000 you could have, you have just £1,020.

There are four of you left.

We take off ten more seconds, and start with the strongest - Chris. Let's play the Weakest Link.

Elaine is the weakest link, but who will lose out in the vote?

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

Yet another tie, team.

This time, Elaine...

and Chris.

Chris,

why Elaine?

She got a few wrong that time. She was the weakest link.

-Not because she voted for you?

-They're ALL voting for me.

-Elaine, why Chris?

-Because he voted for me earlier on,

when I wasn't the weakest, so it's a bit of a personal vendetta.

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

The strongest link in the last round...was Chris.

Oh, good!

I'm pleased about that.

I don't think anyone else is.

So, who do you want to get rid of?

I'll stick with Elaine.

Elaine, time to go home. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

In the last couple of rounds I voted tactically for Chris.

The reason for that is because he voted for me,

when I was clearly not the weakest.

I'd like Chris to be voted off next, to bring him down a peg or two.

Round Seven.

You've won £1,240 out of a possible £6,000.

Three of you left and ten seconds fewer.

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

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

so, potentially, there's £3,000 to be won. The question is...

which of the three is going to go?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

For the first time in the game, Pauline is strongest,

the only player to answer all her questions correctly.

Patrick is the weakest, but will the others pick up on this as they cast their final vote?

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

Pauline, why Chris?

He got a question wrong, Anne.

Did you think he was the worst player

-in that last round?

-Um, probably not.

Patrick, what's your excuse?

Well, I think now there's three of us left,

it's time for the tactical vote to count.

I see him as the main contender,

so, I'm afraid it's tactics.

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

I expected to be voted out at some stage.

I'd hoped there might be somebody who'd have the guts to take me on.

People who know my ability

would expect me to be under pressure when it came to the final three.

Not because I can't answer the questions,

but because small-minded people want the prize.

Round Eight.

And of the £7,000 you could have won, you've got £1,440.

Patrick and Pauline,

two of you left and just 90 seconds.

Whatever you win in this round

will be trebled and added to your final prize money.

So, £3,000 is at stake.

We'll start with the strongest link - that's Pauline.

Let's play the Weakest Link.

That means prize money today of £1,680. But only one of you

can take the money home.

So, now you'll play against each other.

I ask alternate questions. Whoever answers the most wins.

It's as simple as that. So, Patrick and Pauline,

for £1,680, let's play The Weakest Link.

Patrick,

-as the strongest link, you choose who goes first.

-I'd like to go first.
