29/05/2012 Weakest Link

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

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

The others will leave with nothing as they're voted 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 if they want the money they must work as a team.

But eight of them leave with nothing

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

Let's meet the team.

My name is Zosia. I'm 29 and I'm a sales consultant from Birmingham.

I'm John. I'm 52. I'm a primary school teacher from Belfast.

I'm Graham. I'm 37 years old.

I'm a car salesman from Galashiels in Scotland.

I'm Jean. I'm 52 years old. I'm a textile artist from Derby.

I'm Roy. I'm 41. I'm an engineering mechanic.

Originally from Merseyside, I now live in Plymouth.

I'm Kym. I'm 34. I'm an incident manager from Poole in Dorset.

I'm Maureen. I'm 44 and I'm a retired civil servant from Winsford.

I'm Peter. I'm 27 and I'm a research student from London.

I'm Mark. I'm 32. I'm a police officer from Burnley in Lancashire.

Now, the rules.

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 a question wrong and you break the chain and lose the money.

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

However, you start a new chain. At the end of the round

only money that has been banked is taken forward.

In Round One you have three minutes.

We start with the person whose name is first alphabetically - Graham. Let's play the Weakest Link.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Statistically, the strongest link in this round is Mark

and the weakest is Maureen.

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

How interesting. We have a tie. Maureen and Kym - three votes each.

-Kym, what do you do?

I see.

-What has Maureen done to upset you?

-I couldn't vote for myself, so...

Right, OK. Jean, why Kym?

I believe she got two wrong.

-She wasn't the weakest link, though, Jean.

-No?

No. Was she, Maureen?

I doubt it, no.

-Why do you doubt it?

-I think

-I

-may have been.

Right. Well, when the vote is tied, the strongest link

has to cast the deciding vote.

Mark, you were the strongest link. Now, having heard the evidence,

do you want to stick with Kym or vote for Maureen?

I'm going to stick with my vote.

Mark wants rid of you. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I'm gutted because I knew the answers to the questions I got wrong.

Maureen was the weakest link. She got two wrong and lost us £200.

Maureen should be voted off next.

I think she'll get even more nervous

as she realises she's had a near escape.

Round Two.

You've won £250 so far.

Had you stayed awake, you'd have £1,000. Eight left.

We now take 10 seconds off the clock and we start

The answer was Wiltshire.

That time you did marginally better, but not fantastically.

£300 was banked and, of course, another £1,000 target well missed.

Remember, charity and generosity have no place in this game.

To be rich, you have to be ruthless. One of you is about to go.

Time to vote off the weakest link.

John is the strongest link.

He answered all his questions correctly and banked money.

With the most wrong answers, Maureen is the weakest link again.

But can she survive the vote this time?

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

Graham,

-why Maureen?

-Well,

she was unlucky with her questions.

She didn't have a tremendous last round or a great round this time,

and I felt it was time to let her go.

Are you going to have tremendous rounds?

-I hope so.

-Gosh, OK.

-Zosia?

-I felt very bad for her.

She had some hard questions but money counts and she has to go.

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Well, I did expect to see my name on the boards.

I'd previously had a bad round. I was lucky to get through.

I voted for Roy in that round.

I think he will be voted off next round,

because he is showing nerves and taking time.

Round Three.

Of the £2,000 you could have won, you have just £550.

You're down to seven players.

Another 10 seconds off the time.

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

The time is up.

You banked a hardly impressive £350 out of a possible £1,000. Who can't handle the pressure?

Who isn't worthy of a place in this team?

One of you is about to leave. It's time to vote off the weakest link.

For the second time, John is the strongest link.

The worst player is Roy, but he did bank money.

But will this save him?

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

Jean, you like sightseeing?

Mm-hm.

-Ever seen HMS Victory?

-Not in Plymouth.

-No.

-Why Roy?

-Unfortunately, he got the questions wrong.

It's not that you don't like him standing next to you?

-No. I think he's a very nice person.

-Right.

-How's it going, Peter?

-I'm getting into my stride.

-What stride would that be?

-Hopefully, a long and vigorous one.

-We'll look forward to it(!)

-Why Roy?

-He got a few questions wrong. They were difficult ones.

There was no money for me to bank.

-How do you think you did?

-I WAS the weakest link.

No problem, then! You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

Jean voted for me three times on the trot.

She's a bit nervous. She looks around her and now I've gone,

she'll probably look to her right

and start picking on Graham.

I have a feeling that's what she'll do.

Round Four. £900 banked out of a potential £3,000. Dear, dear!

Six of you left. We are taking another 10 seconds off the clock.

After all that work,

you banked a mere £150.

Who are the rest of you

carrying?

Time to vote off the weakest link.

Statistically, Zosia is the strongest link in this round.

The weakest link is Mark, who gave more wrong than right answers.

But will his success in Round One save him?

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

Zosia,

why Jean?

< Didn't bank when she could have done.

-How do you think she did on the questions?

-She got a couple wrong.

No, she only got one wrong.

-Did she?

-Same as you.

-Sorry, Jean.

Mark, how's it going?

-Spectacularly well.

-We'll have fun when that all goes wrong!

Why Jean?

I think she's been the weakest player in this round.

Well, that's interesting.

Statistically, guess who was the weakest player.

It might have been a bad round for me on this occasion.

Jean, you weren't the worst, but you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think it was appalling that I was voted off.

I only got one question wrong, and to choose me

when others had got two wrong was awful.

I think Zosia, John and Graham are bunching together and they're aiming

to be the last three in the game.

Round Five.

Your total is £1,050. If you'd hit your targets, it would be £4,000.

10 more seconds off the time. The strongest link starts.

John. The 1978...

Time is up.

And it wasn't just Mark who was spectacular,

which is how he describes when he's bad,

but all of you. Just three correct answers.

You scraped together... a magnificent zero.

Nothing.

Not a single penny.

It is difficult to ask you to consider

who is not up to scratch,

and who is a waste of space...

but who is marginally more stupid

than the rest of you?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Having gained the team the most money,

Graham is now the strongest link.

With no correct answers, Zosia has gone from the strongest link to this round's weakest.

Who will lose out in the voting?

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

John, you tell us

-your specialist subject is literature.

-Yes.

I'm nervous to wonder what ISN'T your specialist subject,

since you don't seem to know any Shakespeare.

I knew it, but it wouldn't come.

Right. And why Mark?

Er...I think

we had a very bad round,

but he had a few questions with a chance to bank, and he didn't.

-That's the only reason, really.

-Right.

How did it go for you, Graham?

I got one right, which in this round is an achievement,

but it was a disaster.

So you thought Mark was the weakest link.

-Yes, I did.

-He wasn't, was he, Zosia?

-No.

-Who was, do you think?

-Me?

-Right. And nobody noticed.

They did over there, but these lot didn't.

-They're not very bright over there.

-They're not.

Statistically, Zosia was the weakest player but, with three votes,

Mark, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

I think I was voted off

because I was the weakest link previously.

It was a bad round for everyone.

People remembered the wrong answers that I gave.

Next, Zosia will probably go.

With just a few players, people will remember

she was the weakest link.

Round Six. You're won £1,050 out of a possible £5,000.

There's four of you left.

Another ten seconds off the time.

We start with the last strongest link Graham.

Let's play The Weakest Link.

Start the clock.

You banked £400.

But who is still...

dazed and bewildered?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

For the second time, Graham is the strongest link,

with five correct answers.

Zosia is the weakest link again.

Can she survive the vote a second time?

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

Peter, why Zosia?

I think statistically, she was the weakest link,

but she's been great and I'll be sad to see her go.

Graham?

It was very difficult, because she was the only person

to get a question wrong. She got two wrong.

I think the others got their questions right. So...it's statistics.

It looks as if the men are ganging up on the women.

Absolutely not at all. She's been outstanding.

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

I'm gutted about being voted off in that round,

cos I thought I did not too badly.

I banked a lot of money for the team there,

but I got two questions wrong.

I think it was a bit of men versus women,

since I was the only girl standing. I did quite good

to get through the last round, but the men did gang up on me.

Round Seven. You have £1,450 in the bank

out of a possible £6,000 you could have won.

Three of you left. You've got rid of all the women.

Another ten seconds off the clock. We start with the strongest link

Graham. Let's play The Weakest Link.

Well done(!)

In Round Eight, if you can get your heads round this,

you get the chance to treble what you bank, so in the next round,

there is £3,000 on offer.

The question is,

who is even worse at this game than the other two?

Who gets put out of their misery?

Who's blown their big chance?

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

The statistics for John and Peter are very similar.

John is the strongest link since he was the only one to bank money.

In a reversal of fortune, Graham is this round's weakest link.

But who will lose out in this final vote?

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

John, tell me why you voted for Peter?

It's hard to remember what's happening at this stage of the game.

And I thought that Peter missed one or two questions.

I think he missed a chance to bank.

-And basically for that reason.

-Graham,

why on earth Peter?

It was either me or Peter. I felt that was from the sublime to the ridiculous.

I had a dreadful round. I'm lucky to be in the final.

Statistically, Graham was worst. But, Peter,

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

Obviously, those two are clever men. I'm happy for them.

No, I lied.

I'm a bit gutted. I think I was probably the strongest.

They bottled it and voted tactically.

Graham's from Scotland, John is from Ulster. There may have been

an element of anti-London feeling in their choice to vote me out.

Round Eight. You've won £1,470. You could by now have won £7,000.

John and Graham, just two of you left.

You've got rid of all the women.

All the youngsters everyone not called Graham or John.

You have 90 seconds. Whatever you win is trebled

and added to your total

to make up your final prize money.

£3,000 is at stake. We start with the strongest link - John.
