Here are today's nine contestants

0:00:010:00:04

preparing for the show.

0:00:040:00:06

Only one of them will go home

0:00:060:00:08

with the prize money of up to £10,000.

0:00:080:00:11

The others will leave with nothing

0:00:110:00:13

as their team-mates vote them the weakest link.

0:00:130:00:17

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:280:00:30

Any of the nine people in the studio here today could win up to £10,000.

0:00:330:00:39

They don't know each other, however, if they want the prize money, they'll have to work as a team.

0:00:390:00:46

But eight of them will leave with nothing, as round by round,

0:00:460:00:50

we lose the player voted the weakest link.

0:00:500:00:53

Let's meet the team.

0:00:530:00:55

I'm Dave. I'm a 42-year-old sales representative from Blyth in Northumberland.

0:00:560:01:02

My name is Cathy. I'm 38, from County Down and I work in a homeless hostel.

0:01:020:01:07

I'm Matt. I'm 24, and I'm a service technician from Birmingham.

0:01:070:01:12

I'm Pat. Aged 56, from Romford in Essex.

0:01:120:01:15

I'm a club entertainer and singer.

0:01:150:01:17

I'm Lyssa. I'm a 28-year-old account manager from Cheshire.

0:01:170:01:22

I'm Stella. I'm 50 years of age. Local government officer and I come from Manchester.

0:01:220:01:28

I'm Dan. I'm 30 and I'm a civil servant from Cardiff.

0:01:280:01:32

I'm Eva. I'm 60. I'm retired from the civil service.

0:01:320:01:36

I come from Elstree in Hertfordshire.

0:01:360:01:38

I'm Mark. I'm 36. I'm a driving instructor from Liverpool.

0:01:380:01:43

Now the rules.

0:01:440:01:46

In each round, aim to answer

0:01:460:01:48

enough questions to reach your £1000 target.

0:01:480:01:52

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

0:01:520:01:56

If you get a question wrong, you break the chain and lose all the money.

0:01:560:02:01

But if you bank it before the question is asked,

0:02:010:02:05

the money is safe, but you start a brand-new chain.

0:02:050:02:08

Remember, at the end of the round,

0:02:080:02:11

only money that has been banked can be taken forward. In Round One,

0:02:110:02:15

there are three minutes. We'll start with the first name alphabetically.

-I think I did, Anne.

0:07:140:07:20

You can go back there and find it.

0:07:200:07:22

Statistically, you were the weakest link.

0:07:220:07:25

And with five votes, you've been voted it. Goodbye.

0:07:250:07:29

The volcano question, I would've got right if I didn't feel pressured,

0:07:360:07:41

0:07:410:07:45

you think about time and time being wasted.

0:07:450:07:48

I think Dan will go next. He got two questions wrong,

as I did, but he didn't bank any money.

Time is up, though,

0:11:100:11:12

and of the £1000 available in that round, you won £440.

0:11:120:11:17

But who is now out of the running? Who should be making a fast exit?

0:11:170:11:24

Who is a grave disappointment? Who is costing you money?

0:11:240:11:29

One of you is about to go with nothing. It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:11:290:11:34

Having answered all of his questions correctly and banked £200 for the team,

0:11:350:11:40

Matt is the strongest link in this round.

Cathy is this round's worst player.

0:11:430:11:46

But will the rest have noticed?

0:11:460:11:48

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

0:11:500:11:55

You actually got nine correct answers in a row.

0:12:130:12:16

So if you'd banked intelligently, you could've reached your £1000 target.

But you didn't, did you, Pat?

0:12:220:12:24

-No.

-You want to get rid of Cathy, do you?

0:12:240:12:27

Not particularly. She's nice. She got a few questions wrong,

0:12:270:12:31

-and I thought she seemed to be the weakest link to me.

-Right.

0:12:310:12:36

-How's it going for you, Dan?

0:12:360:12:38

-You do a bit of dancing?

0:12:420:12:47

-Yeah.

-Right.

0:12:470:12:49

-Why Cathy?

-I think the nerves have got her,

0:12:490:12:52

-Yeah.

0:12:520:12:55

Slightly worse, you'll be pleased to hear.

0:12:550:12:59

-How's it going for you, Mark?

-Why Cathy?

0:12:590:13:03

-I think she got two wrong.

-Right. Just one more than you.

0:13:030:13:07

-One more than me, yeah.

-Right.

0:13:070:13:10

Cathy, what happened to you in that round?

0:13:100:13:13

I haven't a clue, Anne.

0:13:130:13:15

That's why statistically you were the weakest link,

0:13:150:13:18

and with four votes, you're voted out. Goodbye.

0:13:180:13:22

I could've played better. It's a new experience. You're under pressure.

0:13:280:13:33

When you're at home, it seems that much easier there's nobody looking at you.

0:13:330:13:39

I think Dan should be voted off next, because I think Dan nearly did as bad as me.

0:13:390:13:45

Maybe he banked something, I don't know. But he should go next.

0:13:450:13:49

0:16:530:16:56

In that round, you did not do well at all.

0:16:560:16:59

You banked a rather pitiful £210.

0:16:590:17:01

Who is too dazzled by the lights and dazed by the questions

0:17:010:17:05

to remain?

Put them out of their misery

0:17:080:17:10

and get more money. It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:17:100:17:14

The statistics show Lyssa is the strongest link in this round.

0:17:160:17:20

With the most incorrect answers, Pat is the weakest link.

0:17:200:17:24

But will the votes follow the facts?

0:17:240:17:27

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

0:17:290:17:34

Dave, what do you do?

0:17:580:18:02

-Why have you voted for Eva, then?

-She got two questions wrong

0:18:020:18:06

-and she collapsed a bit.

-You thought Eva was the weakest link?

-I did.

0:18:060:18:11

She wasn't, was she, Pat?

0:18:110:18:13

I had a terrible round. Terrible.

0:18:130:18:16

Why Eva?

0:18:160:18:18

I couldn't vote for myself. I know I got a lot of questions wrong.

0:18:180:18:22

Eva, you weren't the worst statistically but there's nothing fair here.

0:18:220:18:28

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

0:18:280:18:32

I was disappointed I was voted off, because I wasn't the weakest link.

0:18:390:18:44

It was Pat. However, I did get two questions wrong.

0:18:440:18:48

The hardest thing about playing The Weakest Link

0:18:480:18:52

is that your heart starts to pound, your mouth goes dry,

0:18:520:18:56

and you can't think.

0:18:560:18:58

Round Four.

0:19:000:19:03

£1050 banked so far out of potential prize money of £3000.

0:19:030:19:07

So huge scope for improvement.

0:19:070:19:09

Six of you left and ten more seconds off the clock. You now have only 2½ minutes.

0:19:090:19:15

The strongest link, Lyssa, will start. Let's play The Weakest Link.

so he is the strongest link for the second time in the game.

But how will the voting go?

0:22:290:22:31

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

0:22:330:22:38

Dave, what's the idea of the little face?

-No wind in this studio.

0:23:190:23:24

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:23:240:23:27

I think they voted me off because my name's Dan and it's easy to spell.

0:23:340:23:40

I had a really bad round and I deserved to be voted out.

0:23:400:23:44

If I hadn't been, I think I could have gone on to win it.

0:23:440:23:48

Pat should go. He's really ruthless. He's just in it for the money.

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:27:040:27:07

With the most correct answers, Mark is this round's strongest link.

0:27:090:27:14

Pat is the weakest player for the second time in the game. Can he survive the vote again?

0:27:140:27:20

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

-Not bad so far.

-Why Pat?

0:27:380:27:42

0:27:420:27:48

0:28:090:28:15

Right. Well, it's time to busk off.

0:28:150:28:18

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:28:180:28:21

I deserved to get voted off. I was very lucky two rounds ago

0:28:280:28:32

because I was the weakest link. Having got so far,

0:28:320:28:36

I would like to have got a bit further.

0:28:360:28:39

Matt will probably be the next one off.

0:28:390:28:43

Though all four are playing very well.

0:28:430:28:46

Round Six. There's £1370 in the kitty out of a possible £5000.

0:28:480:28:55

0:28:550:28:58

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

Who's not as bright

0:31:250:31:27

as the rest of you and needs to go?

0:31:270:31:31

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:31:310:31:34

Lyssa is the strongest player for the second time.

0:31:360:31:39

Matt, an earlier strongest link, is this round's worst player.

0:31:390:31:44

But will his previous success save him from the vote?

0:31:440:31:48

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

0:31:500:31:55

What do you do, Lyssa?

0:32:060:32:09

-I'm a recruitment consultant.

0:32:220:32:26

-Dave, why Matt?

-I thought he had a really bad round that time.

0:32:260:32:31

Mark, had enough of Matt?

0:32:320:32:34

I just thought he got a couple wrong.

0:32:340:32:37

Matt, bicycles.

0:32:390:32:41

Did you suppose in the early 19th century, everyone was a trick cyclist(?)

0:32:430:32:50

-Probably.

-Not two wheels until 1839?

-Yeah.

0:32:500:32:53

-You didn't get one right in that round.

-I know.

0:32:530:32:57

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:32:570:33:00

The bicycle question two wheels. I'm never going to live it down.

0:33:080:33:13

It was the first thing I thought of.

0:33:130:33:16

That's what I said. I think possibly Mark

0:33:160:33:20

will go off next, because he hesitates.

0:33:200:33:23

I think Lyssa has got a bit more general knowledge.

0:35:570:36:02

That means, in the next round, there's £3,000 to be won.

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

0:36:390:36:43

Dave, why Mark?

I felt Mark was the weakest link and got more questions wrong.

0:36:570:37:02

-Not that he'd be worse opposition in the final?

-I didn't think that.

0:37:020:37:07

He might be a bit of opposition in the final round.

0:37:120:37:16

Mark...how do you feel about being voted off?

0:37:160:37:20

Well, it happens.

0:37:200:37:22

Well, it was unanimous. Mind you, that's only two votes.

0:37:220:37:26

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:37:260:37:29

I am disappointed to get so far and not get through, but I didn't play well.

0:37:370:37:43

Nerves came into it. I thought I could have done better.

0:37:430:37:47

Out of Lyssa and Dave, it's pretty even.

0:37:470:37:50

I'm not sure who'll win. It could go either way.

You have 90 seconds. Whatever you win in this round will be trebled

0:38:100:38:15

and added to your total to make up your prize money.

0:38:150:38:18

So, £3000 at stake.

In that round,

0:40:080:40:10

you won £120.

0:40:100:40:13

We'll treble that and add it to the previous winnings.

0:40:130:40:17

That means prize money today of £2000 for one of you.

0:40:170:40:21

You'll now play against each other, head-to-head. I'll ask alternate questions.

0:40:210:40:27

The best of five.

0:40:270:40:30

Whoever answers the most correctly wins. If there's a tie, we'll go for sudden death.

0:40:300:40:36

So, Dave and Lyssa, for £2000, let's play The Weakest Link.

0:40:360:40:42

It was pretty even. I got very lucky.

0:43:210:43:24

It could have gone either way.

0:43:240:43:27

I feel really disappointed.

0:43:270:43:29

I'd done well throughout the whole game.

0:43:290:43:33

To get to the last two and walk away with nothing is very upsetting.

0:43:330:43:38

It's unbelievable.

It's great to have got through all that and come out as the winner.
