Of the nine contestants in today's show,

0:00:010:00:05

only one will take home the prize money of up to £10,000.

0:00:050:00:10

The rest leave with nothing as, one by one, they're voted off

0:00:100:00:14

as the weakest link.

0:00:140:00:17

Welcome to The Weakest Link!

0:00:280:00:31

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

0:00:330:00:38

They don't know each other.

0:00:380:00:40

But if they want that money, they must work as a team.

0:00:400:00:44

Eight will leave with nothing as, round by round, we lose the player voted the weakest link.

0:00:440:00:52

Let's meet the team.

0:00:520:00:54

I'm Gary, 36. I live on Guernsey.

0:00:540:00:58

I'm an air traffic controller.

0:00:580:01:01

I'm Ron, 42, from near Abergavenny in Wales, a residential home manager.

0:01:010:01:07

I'm Alison, 23, from Eastbourne, a legal assistant.

0:01:070:01:12

I'm Ken, 46, from Manchester, team leader on an emergency service.

0:01:120:01:18

I'm Lynne, 35. I live in Chudleigh, Devon, and I'm a pharmacist.

0:01:190:01:24

I'm Sarah, 26, from Accrington, Lancashire, an office manager for a car hire company.

0:01:240:01:30

I'm Greg, 37, from Southampton, a resource and development adviser.

0:01:300:01:36

I'm Janet, 51. I live in Telford and I'm an upholsterer.

0:01:360:01:42

I'm Steve, 28, from Bicester, Oxfordshire. I'm a business development manager.

0:01:420:01:48

The rules: in each round, aim to answer enough questions correctly to reach £1,000 in the time.

0:01:480:01:56

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

0:01:560:02:01

One wrong breaks the chain and loses the money.

0:02:010:02:06

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

0:02:060:02:11

though you start a new chain.

0:02:110:02:13

Only banked money can be taken forward.

0:02:130:02:17

0:05:380:05:44

You answered 15 questions in a row correctly, well above what is needed

0:05:440:05:51

for your £1,000 target.

0:05:510:05:54

Think carefully. Who lost so much money? Whose journey has been wasted?

0:05:540:06:00

Whose arrival here, indeed, has been a great burden?

0:06:000:06:06

One of you is about to leave with nothing. Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:06:060:06:12

With the most wrong answers, Steve is the first weakest link.

0:06:120:06:17

The strongest link is Janet.

0:06:170:06:20

But who will be taking the first walk of shame?

0:06:200:06:24

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

0:06:240:06:29

-Janet, did you go to university to learn to upholster?

-No, I didn't.

0:06:480:06:53

-Because he had the money.

0:07:530:07:58

-He could have just said "bank" and we'd have got the £1,000.

-You're very bright!

0:07:580:08:04

Statistically, Steve was the worst player. He lost you a lot of money.

0:08:040:08:09

Unanimously, with eight votes, Steve, you are the weakest link. Goodbye!

0:08:090:08:16

I'm disappointed in myself. I didn't listen, and messed up the first question.

0:08:200:08:26

I think Ken will be voted off next.

0:08:260:08:29

He didn't seem confident, and he got a question wrong.

Round two. You've won £670 out of a possible £1,000.

0:08:340:08:38

0:19:050:19:12

-He's from Guildford.

-Right.

0:19:120:19:16

0:19:230:19:27

-It was my initial feeling. I'll stay with it.

-You're off, Gary. Goodbye!

0:19:270:19:33

I'm incensed to be voted off!

0:19:400:19:43

I had two strong rounds, got a couple of questions wrong. Ken was a weak player for three rounds.

but quite bad in that round.

0:24:310:24:34

Ron, who's only been to Ireland drunk, is going back to Wales. You are the weakest link. Goodbye!

I urge you: dump the dunce, ditch the dead wood, drop the donkey!

0:27:470:27:53

Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:27:530:27:56

With the fewest correct answers, Sarah is the weakest link.

0:29:100:29:13

You weren't the worst player, Lynne, but you are going.

0:29:130:29:18

The pharmacist is out of here. With three votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye!

0:32:330:32:38

Janet is the strongest link.

0:32:380:32:41

After a disastrous round, Greg is the weakest link.

0:32:410:32:45

Can he survive the vote?

0:32:450:32:48

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

0:32:480:32:53

Janet, how's it going for you?

0:33:400:33:45

For the moment, Greg from HR has been made redundant.

0:33:450:33:49

You are the weakest link.

0:33:490:33:52

You're fired! Goodbye!

0:33:520:33:54

I'm not over-happy. That was my only bad round. I'd held my own.

0:33:590:34:04

But...two women and a City fan!

0:34:040:34:06

Ken has rode his luck all the way. It'll be a two-lady final.

0:34:060:34:12

Round seven. Out of £6,000,

When a vote is tied, the strongest link casts the deciding vote.

Janet, we know why you voted for Sarah. You have a choice.

0:38:160:38:19

Um...I'm tempted to change to Ken,

0:38:190:38:22

seeing as he's voted for me,

0:38:390:38:45

'Janet knows that. But it's me.

0:38:450:38:48

'Janet should hang her head, if she wins or loses.'

0:38:480:38:53

She knows she didn't do what's right.

0:38:530:38:57
