Here are today's nine contestants preparing for the show.

0:00:010:00:05

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

0:00:050:00:09

The rest will leave with nothing as one by one they're voted the weakest link.

0:00:090:00:15

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:290:00:31

Any of the nine people in the studio here today

0:00:330:00:37

could win up to £10,000.

0:00:370:00:40

They don't know each other. However, if they want the money

0:00:400:00:44

they'll have to work as a team, but eight will leave with nothing

0:00:440:00:49

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

0:00:490:00:53

Let's meet the team.

0:00:530:00:55

I'm Kelvin, I'm 26, I'm from West Drayton and I'm a loss adjuster.

0:00:560:01:01

I'm Jim, I'm 42, living in Ledbury, Herefordshire.

0:01:010:01:05

I'm a team leader with adults with learning difficulties.

0:01:050:01:09

I'm Joan, I'm 45, I'm from Dundonald, and I'm a shipping clerk.

0:01:090:01:14

I'm Nerys, I'm 28,

0:01:140:01:16

from Bedford, and I'm a fire control operator.

0:01:160:01:20

I'm Cedric, I'm 65, from Bury St Edmunds.

0:01:200:01:23

I'm a clerk in holy orders.

0:01:230:01:25

I'm Bronwen, I'm 30,

0:01:250:01:27

I'm from Hartlepool, and I'm a full-time mother of two.

0:01:270:01:31

I'm Jennie, I'm 58, I'm from Hemel Hemstead.

0:01:310:01:34

I'm a part-time French teacher and examiner.

0:01:340:01:38

I'm David, I'm 58, I'm from Stockport,

0:01:380:01:41

and I'm a retired local government officer.

0:01:410:01:44

I'm Ben, I'm 20 years old, and I'm a student from Liverpool.

0:01:440:01:48

The aim is to answer enough questions

0:01:480:01:52

to reach your £1000 target within the time limit.

0:01:520:01:56

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

0:01:560:02:01

Get a question wrong, you lose the money in the chain.

0:02:010:02:05

If you say "bank" before the question is asked the money is safe.

0:02:050:02:10

But you start a new chain.

0:02:100:02:12

Remember - at the end of the round

0:02:120:02:14

only banked money can be taken forward.

0:02:150:02:18

We'll start with the person whose name is first alphabetically.

0:05:540:05:56

With the most wrong answers

0:05:580:06:00

Cedric is the first weakest link of the game.

0:06:000:06:04

0:06:040:06:06

Will the voting reflect the facts?

0:06:060:06:09

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

0:06:100:06:15

Ben, remind me what you do.

0:06:270:06:29

I'm an acting student, Anne.

0:06:290:06:32

-Is that where your brain is?

-No.

0:07:060:07:09

It's certainly not here. Why Cedric?

0:07:090:07:12

He got the Reservoir Dogs question wrong, which is a classic film.

0:07:120:07:17

You were the worst. You work for the church, but didn't pray hard enough.

0:07:170:07:23

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:07:230:07:25

I'm annoyed I was voted off first.

0:07:340:07:36

I hoped to get through the first round,

0:07:360:07:39

but me a priest, two film questions! I never go to the cinema.

0:07:390:07:43

Bronwyn will be voted off next. She was nervous,

0:07:430:07:47

and I think she got two of her questions wrong.

0:08:030:08:06

0:11:230:11:27

Time to vote off the weakest link.

You got that one right.

0:13:100:13:12

It's votes that count. Bronwen, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:13:120:13:17

Going second is better than going first,

0:13:250:13:28

but I'll be laughed at in Hartlepool

0:13:280:13:31

where my brains are.

0:13:310:13:33

I'd like Jennie to go next. She believed she'd win,

0:13:330:13:37

but some deserve it a lot better.

0:16:330:16:35

Hair.

0:16:350:16:36

Time is up. Another indifferent performance.

0:16:390:16:42

£120 is all you banked.

0:16:420:16:47

Who's a few floors short of a skyscraper?

0:16:470:16:50

Whose engine has run out of petrol? Whose day is done?

0:16:500:16:54

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:16:540:16:57

Statistics show that for the first time Kelvin is the strongest link.

0:16:590:17:04

Having survived the last round Jim is the weakest link.

0:17:040:17:08

Can he escape another vote?

0:17:080:17:10

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

0:17:110:17:16

-Kelvin?

-Yes?

0:17:280:17:30

-Why are you laughing?

-I thought I'd escaped punishment.

0:17:300:17:35

What do you do?

0:17:350:17:37

-I'm a loss adjuster.

-What is that?

-I adjust insurance claims.

0:17:370:17:42

Nerys?

0:17:420:17:44

-You chose Jim twice. Are you determined to get rid of him?

-On this occasion.

0:17:440:17:50

And the last one. Does he annoy you?

0:17:500:17:53

I wouldn't say that. He got some questions wrong he should've known.

0:17:530:17:57

-You'd have known the answers?

-Yes.

0:17:570:18:00

-Ben, you're an acting student, aren't you?

-Yes, Miss.

0:18:000:18:04

-Are you an acting contestant?

-I'm trying to be.

0:18:040:18:08

Are you going to say pass to everything I ask?

0:18:080:18:11

-It's my favourite answer.

-Very sure of yourself. Why Jim?

0:18:110:18:15

I think he had about £100 banked

0:18:150:18:19

and got the question wrong.

0:18:190:18:22

With no hair except a ponytail,

0:18:220:18:24

statistically you were the worst player,

0:18:240:18:28

and with five votes

0:18:280:18:30

the team have decided you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:18:300:18:34

They are performing well at the minute. They don't bank often enough

0:18:430:18:48

and the problems will come later when they have to be ruthless.

0:18:480:18:52

I think Ben will be voted off next

0:18:520:18:55

because Anne draws attention to the fact he's passed.

0:18:550:18:59

Round Four. £640 banked out of potential prize money of £3000.

0:19:000:19:05

Ten seconds coming off the time.

0:21:590:22:01

Who'll soon be saying farewell? It's time to vote off the weakest link.

Ben is the weakest link. He didn't answer any questions correctly, but he did bank money.

0:22:090:22:16

David is the strongest link, but will the votes reflect the facts?

0:22:160:22:22

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

0:22:230:22:27

-Jennie.

-Yes, Anne?

-What's that all round Ben's name?

0:22:390:22:44

Ooh, little flowers and grass. Perhaps he let the grass grow under his feet.

0:22:440:22:49

That was very funny(!)

0:22:490:22:51

-Why Ben?

-He didn't give us anything to bank when it went round.

-Thank you.

0:22:510:22:57

-Joan, where are you from?

-Dundonald. Northern Ireland.

0:22:570:23:02

-What sort of music is your music?

-What sort...?

Why Ben?

0:23:250:23:27

-JOAN: He was even worse than myself.

-He was indeed.

0:23:270:23:31

Statistically, Ben was the worst player,

0:23:310:23:34

the student who thinks Argyll begins with R. You are the weakest link.

0:23:340:23:39

Goodbye.

0:23:390:23:41

I'm very upset about being voted off at this stage.

0:23:490:23:53

I was the weakest link, but I've been banking money. Most of the money should be mine.

0:23:530:23:59

I'd like to see Jennie voted off. I think

0:23:590:24:03

her days are numbered, sadly.

0:24:030:24:06

Round Five.

0:24:060:24:07

Your total is £830 out of a possible £4000. Five of you left.

0:24:070:24:12

10 more seconds comes off the time.

0:24:120:24:15

The strongest link starts, David. Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:26:380:26:41

Time is up.

0:26:430:26:45

I cannot complete the question.

0:26:450:26:47

You banked £160. Who's got a leak in their think-tank?

0:26:470:26:52

Who has only a nodding acquaintance with knowledge?

0:26:520:26:56

Who should go? It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:26:560:27:00

David is the strongest link. He got the most right answers.

0:27:020:27:07

Joan is the weakest link, getting all her answers wrong.

0:27:070:27:11

But how will the votes go?

0:27:110:27:13

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

0:27:140:27:18

Nerys, what do you do?

0:27:280:27:30

-I'm a fire-control operator.

-Explain that to me.

0:27:300:27:34

If you ring 999 needing emergency assistance with a fire,

0:27:340:27:38

you'll be connected through to myself.

0:27:380:27:41

"Connected through to myself."

0:27:410:27:44

-What do you say to people?

-I reassure them, telling them not to panic.

0:27:440:27:49

How would you reassure Joan, now you want her off?

0:27:490:27:53

I'll buy her a drink later.

0:27:530:27:55

-Why have you voted for her?

-Although she only got a few wrong,

0:27:550:28:00

there's no money for me to bank on my turn.

0:28:000:28:03

-Kelvin, the loss adjuster.

-KELVIN: Hello.

0:28:030:28:06

Why Joan?

0:28:060:28:08

I know I got two wrong myself, but I think Joan got four wrong.

0:28:080:28:13

She was the weakest link.

0:28:130:28:15

Joan, who is so fond of music she couldn't think of any group she liked for ages.

0:28:150:28:21

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:28:210:28:24

Nobody likes being voted off. It's like being picked last for a team.

0:28:320:28:37

I knew they were going to vote me off then.

0:28:370:28:40

I think Nerys will go next. Jennie and David are sticking together.

0:28:400:28:46

Round Six.

0:28:460:28:48

You've won £990 out of £5000. Four of you left.

0:28:480:28:51

10 more seconds off the time.

0:28:510:28:54

The strongest link starts. Let's play The Weakest Link.

0:28:540:28:58

Start the clock.

Time is up.

I can't finish the question.

0:31:140:31:16

£130

0:31:160:31:18

is all you won.

0:31:180:31:20

Things are desperate!

0:31:200:31:22

I suggest you lighten the load, enhance your bank balance.

0:31:220:31:26

Kindness does not count.

0:31:260:31:29

Be ruthless. It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:31:290:31:33

The strongest link is Nerys, the weakest is Jennie.

0:31:350:31:39

She didn't answer a single question correctly.

0:31:390:31:43

But she did bank money. Will that be enough to save her?

0:31:430:31:47

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

0:31:480:31:52

We have a tie, team. Jennie and Kelvin. Two votes each.

0:32:010:32:05

Kelvin, why Jennie?

0:32:050:32:07

I felt she got one more question than myself wrong.

0:32:070:32:11

-And you're a loss adjuster?

-I am. Yes.

0:32:110:32:14

And you can't count?

0:32:140:32:16

-Huh? I can.

-No.

0:32:160:32:18

-She got TWO more wrong.

-KELVIN: Oh. OK. Sorry.

0:32:180:32:21

-Jennie.

-Yes, Anne?

-Why Kelvin?

-Erm, well...

0:32:210:32:25

JENNIE: I couldn't vote for myself and he did get a few wrong.

0:32:250:32:29

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

0:32:290:32:34

999 Nerys.

0:32:340:32:36

-Yes?

-Who do you want to get rid of? You voted for Jennie, but you can change your mind.

0:32:360:32:42

NERYS: I'll stick with Jennie.

0:32:420:32:45

-Why?

-I don't feel that she banks money when she could.

0:32:450:32:49

No, that's true.

0:32:490:32:51

You didn't answer a single question correctly in the last round.

0:32:510:32:55

You're 58½. You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:32:550:32:59

Nerys hadn't played well all through the game.

0:33:080:33:11

It was ironic she had the power to vote me off,

0:33:110:33:15

when I'd done a lot better than her.

0:33:150:33:17

Kelvin will be voted off next.

0:33:170:33:20

He has answered some very badly, but then it could be Nerys.

0:33:200:33:24

Round Seven.

0:33:240:33:26

£1120 in the kitty out of a possible £6000. Three of you left.

0:33:340:33:38

0:35:440:35:46

You won £260.

0:35:460:35:48

In Round Eight, you treble what you bank, so, potentially,

0:35:480:35:53

there's £3000 to be won.

0:35:530:35:56

Who do you want to get rid of? Who is unlikely

0:35:560:35:59

to raise that bank balance? It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:35:590:36:04

At this crucial stage,

0:36:060:36:08

Nerys is the strongest link and Kelvin is statistically the weakest link.

0:36:080:36:13

But who will survive this final vote?

0:36:130:36:16

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

0:36:170:36:21

Nerys...

0:36:280:36:30

-Yes, Anne?

0:36:300:36:35

-Why vote for David?

-He got a lot wrong, which I thought were easy.

0:36:350:36:40

-He was the weakest link?

-Absolutely.

-You can't even lie well.

0:36:400:36:44

Try and explain to me why you have voted for David, remembering that people are watching who imagine

0:36:460:36:54

you're an honest person.

0:36:540:36:56

I was the worst player that time, but Nerys was better than David.

0:36:560:37:01

-So I chose David.

-You can't lie, either.

0:37:010:37:04

You WERE the weakest link in the last round.

0:37:040:37:07

Interestingly,

0:37:080:37:11

on the scores throughout the game,

0:37:110:37:14

David is by far the strongest link.

0:37:140:37:17

So not much courage round this side.

0:37:170:37:19

David, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:37:190:37:22

To be voted off at this stage, I'm absolutely gobsmacked.

0:37:310:37:36

I was the strongest link in the whole show and I should be going for the money.

0:37:360:37:41

I couldn't care less who wins. It's tainted money and I hope they enjoy spending it.

0:37:410:37:47

Time's up. It's easy to see what happens, if you vote off the strongest player.

0:39:480:39:53

You won just £60. We'll treble it and add it to the winnings from the previous rounds.

0:39:530:40:00

That means a prize money today of...

0:40:000:40:02

Only one of you can win that money.

0:40:040:40:06

Now you will be playing against each other, head-to-head.

0:40:060:40:11

I'll ask alternate questions. Best of five. Whoever gets the most right wins.

0:40:110:40:16
