The others will leave with nothing when voted off as the weakest link. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:15 | |
Welcome to the Weakest Link. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
Any of the nine people here today could win up to £10,000. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:37 | |
They've only just met, but to get the prize money they'll have to work together. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:42 | |
However, eight will leave with nothing as, round by round, | 0:00:42 | 0:00:47 | |
we lose the player voted the weakest link. Let's meet the team. | 0:00:47 | 0:00:50 | |

That money will go through. One of you will not. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
Who possibly is only here because it's a good place to hide from the nurses? | 0:03:37 | 0:03:43 | |
Who will lose you money? | 0:03:43 | 0:03:45 | |
One of you is about to leave with nothing. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
Time to vote off the weakest link. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
Ben is the first strongest link as he banked all the money for the team. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
Statistically, Sharon is the weakest link, but can she survive the vote? | 0:03:56 | 0:04:02 | |
Voting over, it's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
Beryl. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:09 | |

Beryl. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
-What do you do, Neil? -I'm a warehouse supervisor. -What sort of warehouse? -A clothing warehouse. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:34 | |
Put your board down. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
Is that why you come in that fantastically sexy top? | 0:04:38 | 0:04:42 | |
No, it's something just neutral. Didn't want to show off anything too flashy. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:48 | |
No, you certainly succeeded in that. Put your board up. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
-What sort of clothes are you delaing with? -Various well-known brands. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:57 | |
-Oh, such as what? -Such as GAP, Louis Vuitton, Fred Perry. | 0:04:57 | 0:05:02 | |
So do you get your pick at the end of the day? | 0:05:02 | 0:05:05 | |
-No... No, it's all... -There was a bit of a pause there. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:11 | |
-No, no perks at all. -So you can't take it home to your wife? | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
-That wouldn't be an issue at the moment. -Why wouldn't it be an issue? | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
-Because I'm separated from my wife at the moment. -Are you, at the moment? | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
-So you've got a girlfriend? -I do have a girlfriend. -What's she called? | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
-She's called Rebecca. -Is she? And how old are you? -I'm 42. | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
-And how old is Rebecca? -She is 23. -Are you a friend of her dad's? | 0:05:33 | 0:05:38 | |
No, I wasn't. I met her through work. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
Did you? And how did you get her to go out with you? | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
-I could show you, but it's daytime television. -Why Beryl? | 0:05:45 | 0:05:51 | |
Nobody got a question wrong. I just had to choose a name. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:54 | |
-What do you do, Sharon? -I'm an accountant. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
-Are you good at arithmetic? -I would like to think so. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
-So, if Neil's 42 and Rebecca is 23, what's the age difference? -19 years. -Oh. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:05 | |
-You can work quickly then, can you? -Yes, Anne. -Where do you live? | 0:06:07 | 0:06:11 | |
-I live in Jersey, in the Channel Islands. -Have you got a rich husband? | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
-No, I'm still searching for him. -Are you? | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
So you're not as quick at snapping a husband as you are at doing mental arithmetic? | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
-There's not many good-looking men in Jersey. -It's the land of the ugly, is it? | 0:06:20 | 0:06:25 | |
-They're all bagged in Jersey. -Are they? -Yes. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
-There's not one decent-looking man? -Lie I said, they're all married. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
-Why Beryl? -Because no-one was the weakest link, | 0:06:32 | 0:06:36 | |
but I don't think she would mind being the first one voted off. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
-What do you do, Dennis? -I'm an interviewer for the Office for National Statistics. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:44 | |
Fabulous. What are you interviewing about at the moment? | 0:06:44 | 0:06:48 | |
At the moment, I'm working on a survey called the Family Resources Survey. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:52 | |
-Family what? -Family Resources Survey. | 0:06:52 | 0:06:54 | |
It's finding out about people's living conditions and housing conditions. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
-Where? -The ones I've just finished have been in Colchester, Wivenhoe... -In Essex? | 0:06:57 | 0:07:04 | |
-In Essex, that's right. -So they're mostly on benefits, are they? | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
I couldn't really divulge those sort of things cos I'm bound by the Official Secrets Act. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:11 | |
-Are you? -Yes. -And does the Official Secrets Act cover where you got that shirt? | 0:07:11 | 0:07:16 | |
-No, that doesn't come into that. That is entirely my choice. -Yes. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:20 | |
-So where did you get the shirt? -Marks and Spencer's. | 0:07:20 | 0:07:24 | |
So you visit people's homes. And how long do you stay? | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
35, 40 minutes, an hour, depends on how long the survey. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
Do people say sometimes, "Dennis, you're too boring. Go"? | 0:07:32 | 0:07:35 | |
No, they don't. Sometimes they don't let me in the house initially anyway. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:39 | |
Yeah. Why don't they let you in the house? | 0:07:39 | 0:07:41 | |
-Because they don't want to do the survey. -Why would they want to do the survey? | 0:07:41 | 0:07:45 | |
-I really don't know. -Just lonely people... -No, not at all. | 0:07:45 | 0:07:50 | |
-I try and make it as interesting as I can. -Why Beryl? | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
Unfortunately, nobody got any questions wrong | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
and she was opposite me and I had to vote for somebody. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
Beryl, you are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:02 | |
Being the weakest link today has been a learning curve for me, | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
because I've met different people. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:15 | |
But seeing Anne Robinson in the flesh... She actually is beautiful, | 0:08:15 | 0:08:20 | |
petite, gorgeous features, pointed chin, a bit like the wicked witch in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. | 0:08:20 | 0:08:27 | |
Round 2. In the bank, £1,000. We'll take 10 seconds off your time. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:32 | |
-We'll start with the strongest link, Ben. Let's play the Weakest Link. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:37 | |

-Could you repeat the question? -What W is the term for the increase | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
in the apparent size and shape of the moon as more of its surface is lit by the sun? | 0:11:07 | 0:11:12 | |

In his sexy, sexy sweater. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |

Why thinks the Abbey National is a political party? | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
Time to vote off the weakest link. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
As the only player to get an answer wrong, Nick is the weakest link. | 0:11:56 | 0:12:00 | |
The strongest link statistically is Sharon. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
But will the voting reflect reality? | 0:12:03 | 0:12:06 | |
Voting over. It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:11 | |
Natalie. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:14 | |
Nick. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
Nick. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:20 | |
Nick. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
Nick. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:24 | |
Nick. | 0:12:24 | 0:12:26 | |
Nick. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
Nick. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:29 | |
-What do you do, Ben? -I'm a management consultant. | 0:12:32 | 0:12:35 | |
-How old are you? -26. -Did you go to university? -Yes. | 0:12:35 | 0:12:39 | |
-Where? -Oxford. -What did you study? -Classics. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:44 | |
And now your specific job is to do what? | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
Probably the hardest question you'll ask me today. I'm still finding out, | 0:12:48 | 0:12:52 | |
but we help companies cut costs, come up with new ideas, enter new markets, | 0:12:52 | 0:12:58 | |
-generally run themselves. -Do the companies who are employing you | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
know you're still trying to find out what you are doing? | 0:13:02 | 0:13:06 | |
-They might well do. -What particular area do you work in? | 0:13:06 | 0:13:11 | |
-Financial services. -Banking? | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
-That's part of it. -How long have you been working there? | 0:13:15 | 0:13:19 | |
-Six months. -Just as the recession hit? | 0:13:19 | 0:13:24 | |
-Indeed. -So you are really a baby management consultant. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:28 | |
-I am a baby. -And they charge a lot of money, your firm, do they? | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
They might do. I'm not privy to that sort of information. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
And when you hop into the bank, | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
do they think that somebody who went to Oxford and got a Classics degree | 0:13:37 | 0:13:41 | |
is just right for them in the recession to advise them on their banking strategies? | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
I can see why they might be perturbed but I feel that we bring good value. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:50 | |
-Why Nick? -Nick's a great guy, | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
but unfortunately he was the only person who got one of the questions wrong, | 0:13:54 | 0:13:57 | |
so the choice is out of my hands. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
-What do you do, Natalie? -I'm a psychic, but I also write books. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:05 | |
-So, can you see people's lives in front of you? -Sometimes, yes. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
-Can you? You've got a gift? -I think so. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:13 | |
-Can you just look at people? -Yeah. -Can you tell me | 0:14:13 | 0:14:16 | |
something wonderful is going to happen in my life? | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
-There already is. -Really? What's that happening? | 0:14:18 | 0:14:23 | |
Yes, you have got a wonderful life in many ways. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:26 | |
I can tell you the persona that you give here is completely different to the real you. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:32 | |
-Is it? -It's Jekyll and Hyde. -And which is this, Jekyll or Hyde? | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
-No. I think Mr Hyde. -You say I'm being too nice? | 0:14:40 | 0:14:45 | |
When you're nice, there is always a sort of comment at the end of it | 0:14:45 | 0:14:50 | |
-sort of waiting in the wings as it were. -Which wings? | 0:14:50 | 0:14:54 | |
Can you see wings we can't see? | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
How do we get your phone number? Do you advertise? | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
-I work on television sometimes, on Sky. -Do you? -I'm on tonight, actually. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:07 | |
-In my little box, yeah. -They've got you a box, have they? | 0:15:07 | 0:15:11 | |
And where do you put your broomstick? | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
It's cheaper, with the petrol going up, a broom is a lot cheaper to use | 0:15:14 | 0:15:19 | |
-as a mode of transport. -Why Nick? | 0:15:19 | 0:15:22 | |
He got one wrong. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
Nick, you are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
I think the team is going to be very clever, coming off these first couple of rounds. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:39 | |
Everyone seems to be really spot-on with their answers | 0:15:39 | 0:15:41 | |
hopefully they'll go on and win some real big money | 0:15:41 | 0:15:44 | |

-What do you do, David? -I'm a vocational development manager. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
-I work at a secondary school in Stourbridge. -In the West Midlands? | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
-That's right. -So you're advising people on careers? | 0:19:35 | 0:19:39 | |
I do that as part of the job. I have a number of things to do. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:43 | |
-So, the children at your school, they want jobs, presumably? -They all do at some stage, yes. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:49 | |
How are they going to do that with a Birmingham accent? | 0:19:49 | 0:19:53 | |
I think they need to work very hard at their examinations and get the best results possible. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:57 | |
-But they'll still have a Birmingham accent. -There is nothing much I can do about that. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:01 | |
And my accent is not Birmingham. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |

-We do. We drink occasionally, yes. -What else do you do in your spare time? | 0:20:21 | 0:20:25 | |
I do a number of things in my spare time. I run a Boys Brigade company | 0:20:25 | 0:20:28 | |

-What do you do, Helen? -I answer emergency 999 calls. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:07 | |
-You thought about that. -It is a bit confusing what we actually call the title, | 0:21:07 | 0:21:11 | |
but I take 999 calls for the ambulance service. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:14 | |
-Have you got to be quick on the uptake to do that? -Yes. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
-So why are you in the job, Helen? -I talk fast, so I can take calls really quickly. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:23 | |
So what can I ring you about? | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
-Anything. People do. -Do they? -Mmm. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:29 | |
So, I've dialled 999, ring-ring-ring, what do you say? | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
Hello, Ambulance. What's the address of the emergency? | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
-I don't want an ambulance. -What are you calling 999 for then? | 0:21:36 | 0:21:40 | |
-I want a shoulder to cry on. -I can give you the number of the Samaritans. | 0:21:40 | 0:21:44 | |
-No, I want to cry on your shoulder. -Tell me where you want the ambulance to come to | 0:21:44 | 0:21:48 | |
and you can tell me what the problem is. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
-Why Natalie? -Because she is a psychic, she knows more about me than probably I do | 0:21:50 | 0:21:55 | |
which worries me a bit, so I can't have that. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
Natalie, you are the weakest link. Goodbye. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
I came on the show today specifically to win some money, because I want to make a trip to America this year, | 0:22:09 | 0:22:14 | |
with a group of women in California who wanted to go Bigfoot hunting. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:20 | |
As I haven't won, I'll have to shelve the plans for now. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |

Neil goes from being the strongest link in the last round to the weakest link in this. | 0:25:25 | 0:25:29 | |

Sharon. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:53 | |
Neil. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:54 | |
Sharon, why Neil? | 0:25:56 | 0:25:58 | |
Because he is the only one that I remember getting more than one question wrong. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:02 | |
And I got a question wrong, but I think he got two wrong. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:06 | |
Ben, the baby management consultant, how do you think you did in that round? | 0:26:06 | 0:26:10 | |
OK. I got two relatively easy questions compared to Neil. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:16 | |

Anne asked me about the age difference between me and my girlfriend Becky, | 0:26:30 | 0:26:36 | |
because there is quite a big age difference with 19 years. | 0:26:36 | 0:26:39 | |
It didn't bother me at all. I am quite happy to announce to the world | 0:26:39 | 0:26:43 | |

END-OF-ROUND JINGLE | 0:33:12 | 0:33:13 | |
That was the incorrect answer. The correct answer was hydroponics. | 0:33:13 | 0:33:18 | |
You won £320. So, maybe you can't bank on Ben? | 0:33:18 | 0:33:25 | |
Perhaps Helen's an accident waiting to happen. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:29 | |
Should Sharon be subtracted? | 0:33:29 | 0:33:31 | |
Or maybe Dennis is better at asking questions than answering them. Think carefully. | 0:33:31 | 0:33:37 | |
Time to vote off the weakest link. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:39 | |
For the third round in a row, Dennis is the strongest link. | 0:33:41 | 0:33:45 | |
The weakest link statistically is Helen, but who will the team want off? | 0:33:45 | 0:33:50 | |
Voting over. It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:54 | |
Helen. | 0:33:56 | 0:33:58 | |
Helen. | 0:33:58 | 0:34:00 | |
Ben. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:03 | |
Ben. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:05 | |
We have a tie, team, Helen and Ben, two votes each. | 0:34:07 | 0:34:11 | |
Ben, why Helen? | 0:34:11 | 0:34:13 | |
It was a choice between myself and Helen, so I went for her. | 0:34:13 | 0:34:18 | |
-Helen, why Ben? -Once again, I can't vote for myself, so let's go for Ben. | 0:34:19 | 0:34:24 | |
He got a couple of questions wrong. | 0:34:24 | 0:34:26 | |
When the vote's tied, the strongest link has to cast the deciding vote. The strongest link was Dennis. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:32 | |
Why did you vote for Ben? | 0:34:32 | 0:34:34 | |
Because he got two questions wrong, | 0:34:34 | 0:34:36 | |
there was one at the end that he didn't get right as well, if I'm right. | 0:34:36 | 0:34:40 | |

Dennis is for me clearly the favourite to win. | 0:34:57 | 0:35:00 | |
However, I wouldn't be surprised if Sharon and Helen combined to vote him off. | 0:35:00 | 0:35:04 | |

In Round 8, you get the chance to treble what you bank. | 0:37:30 | 0:37:33 | |
Before that, time to vote off the weakest link. | 0:37:33 | 0:37:37 | |
Helen is the strongest link, because she didn't get an answer wrong. | 0:37:38 | 0:37:42 | |
Statistically, the weakest link is Sharon, but who will lose out in the final vote? | 0:37:42 | 0:37:47 | |
Voting over. It's time to reveal who you think is the weakest link. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:53 | |
