Nine contestants are preparing for today's show.

0:00:020:00:05

They have all appeared before on The Weakest Link.

0:00:050:00:09

They felt they were unfairly voted off and robbed of the chance to win.

0:00:090:00:15

- They are fickle. - I was NOT the weakest link.

0:00:150:00:19

They vote the crumblies off.

0:00:190:00:20

These bad losers are back, but eight will leave with nothing as, once again,

0:00:200:00:26

they're voted off as the weakest link.

0:00:260:00:29

Welcome to The Weakest Link.

0:00:420:00:45

The nine people in the studio here today are all bad losers.

0:00:470:00:53

When they previously appeared on the show, they were voted off, in their opinion, unfairly.

0:00:530:00:59

They've come back for another go to win up to £10,000,

0:00:590:01:03

but, again, they'll have to work as a team.

0:01:030:01:07

Only one will take the money away. The rest will leave with nothing,

0:01:070:01:11

as, round by round, they are voted off as the weakest link.

0:01:110:01:16

Let's meet the team.

0:01:160:01:18

I'm Jasper. I'm 25. I'm from Penzance and I'm a painter.

0:01:190:01:23

I'm Ian, 27, from West Yorkshire. I'm an electrician.

0:01:240:01:28

I'm Katie, 22, from Stafford. I'm a medical student at UCL.

0:01:290:01:34

I'm Chaz. I'm 45. I'm from Nuneaton and I'm an army officer.

0:01:350:01:39

I'm Gill. I'm 37. I'm from Dawlish and I'm a help-desk team leader.

0:01:400:01:45

I'm Alastair. I'm 63. I come from Aberdeenshire and I'm a retired teacher.

0:01:470:01:53

0:02:000:02:04

I'm Nathan, 24, from Fulham. I'm a fashion stylist.

0:02:060:02:09

In each round, the aim is to answer enough questions correctly

0:02:090:02:14

to reach your £1,000 target

0:02:140:02:16

within the time limit. The fastest way is to make a chain of nine correct answers.

0:02:160:02:22

A wrong question breaks the chain and you lose the money.

0:02:220:02:27

If you say "bank", before the question is asked,

0:02:270:02:31

the money is safe, however, you start a new chain from scratch.

0:02:310:02:35

At the end of the round, only money that has been banked can be carried forward.

0:02:350:02:42

You get three minutes in Round One.

0:06:030:06:06

Nine people who have played the game before,

0:06:060:06:12

who thought they were unfairly voted off.

0:06:120:06:16

In that first round, you managed to bank £70.

0:06:160:06:22

Who shouldn't have come back? Who has already lost the plot?

0:06:240:06:28

It's time to vote off the weakest link.

0:06:280:06:32

Chaz is the strongest link. He got all his questions right.

0:06:350:06:39

The weakest link is Ian, but, so early on, will the voting reflect reality?

0:06:390:06:45

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

0:06:460:06:50

Chaz, remind me what you do.

0:07:100:07:12

-1st August 2003.

0:07:340:07:38

Does Ian need medical help?

0:07:380:07:41

I'm not sure about that. More than just Ian got more than two questions wrong.

0:07:410:07:46

Ian also lost a significant amount of money. That swayed me.

0:07:460:07:51

-You got a question wrong.

-I did, but it was a guess and I haven't been to America and you have.

0:07:510:07:57

0:08:000:08:04

No wonder he doesn't know what MA stands for.

0:08:040:08:07

Ian, with four votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:08:070:08:12

The questions, I didn't know them. I knew everybody else's.

0:08:210:08:25

I hope they win what they deserve. Nothing!

0:08:250:08:29

Elizabeth could be out next. She seems nervous and weak, but it would be nice

0:08:290:08:34

if it was Kate. She's a bolshy character.

0:08:340:08:37

She's a pain in the neck.

0:08:370:08:40

Round Two, losers.

0:08:410:08:43

You've won £70, magnificent for a team who've played this game before(!)

0:08:440:08:50

You could, by now, have £1,000 in the kitty.

a number of questions wrong and it's time to go.

0:13:180:13:22

Statistically, Elizabeth was not the worst player.

0:13:220:13:26

Gill was the worst player, but it's votes that count.

0:13:260:13:31

Elizabeth, with four votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:13:310:13:37

I was peeved at being voted off on the second round, like I was last time.

Annie hasn't improved. I expected her to be in a Dalmatian coat.

Round Three.

0:17:500:17:53

I'm a painter who paints on canvas.

0:18:100:18:12

-You don't know The Thinker from The Kiss?

-I know the two, but I'm not a fan of Rodin.

0:18:120:18:18

Have you not seen the sculpture in The Tate?

0:18:180:18:23

I have seen it.

0:18:230:18:25

But he's not a great sculptor.

0:18:260:18:28

He's a mediocre sculptor I never look at.

0:18:280:18:31

-Is Gill very mediocre?

-Exceptionally.

0:18:310:18:34

In this game.

0:18:340:18:37

What did Gill do to upset you?

0:19:140:19:16

Generally poor over the first three rounds, to be frank.

0:19:160:19:22

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

0:19:220:19:27

And she can't tell Tom Hanks from Tom Cruise.

0:19:270:19:30

Gill, you are The Weakest Link Goodbye.

0:19:300:19:33

I'm kicking myself about the Days of Thunder question.

0:19:410:19:45

I KNEW that it was Tom Cruise

0:19:450:19:47

and for some reason I said Tom Hanks.

0:19:470:19:50

I think that Chaz will go next.

0:19:500:19:53

He'd never heard of The Third Reich.

0:19:530:19:55

In effect, he deserves to be here.

0:19:550:19:58

Round Four. £590 banked out of a potential prize money of £3,000.

0:20:000:20:06

You now have only 2½ minutes.

0:23:540:23:58

And he's wearing leather trousers.

0:23:580:24:01

Nathan, who works in fashion and doesn't know trousers from a kilt.

0:24:010:24:06

You are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:24:060:24:09

I shouldn't have been voted out.

0:24:160:24:18

It was my only bad round since I started

0:24:180:24:21

and most of the others have had bad rounds.

0:24:210:24:25

People give me a hard time about breeks. They're not fashion.

0:24:250:24:29

They're costume. National dress.

0:24:290:24:32

Let's face it, the Scottish never had any sense of style.

0:24:320:24:37

I think Katie will be out next.

0:24:370:24:39

She's the most annoying parasite I've ever met.

0:24:390:24:43

She might have all the knowledge up there in her brain,

0:24:430:24:47

but she's just a waste of space.

Who may be willing, but is totally unable?

0:27:340:27:39

Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:27:390:27:41

Jasper is the strongest link, statistically.

0:27:430:27:46

The weakest is Chaz with the most wrong.

0:27:460:27:49

Will prior success save him?

0:27:490:27:51

Voting over.

0:27:520:27:53

Time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

0:27:530:27:57

Alastair, why Chaz?

0:28:100:28:12

Unluckily, Chaz had some wrong answers

0:28:120:28:15

and that broke the chain.

0:28:150:28:17

Katie, not much cop at geography are you?

0:28:170:28:21

No-one can feel worse than me. But Jackson, Mississippi, is a toughie.

0:28:210:28:26

I feel terrible about it. I felt I let the team down.

0:28:260:28:30

But hey-ho. I've been the strongest link twice.

0:28:300:28:33

-I want to be the strongest link.

-Is there anything else?

0:28:330:28:37

I'll save more for the next round.

0:28:370:28:40

Why Chaz?

0:28:400:28:42

Chaz has been faltering over the last few rounds.

0:28:420:28:46

In this round he was the weakest link.

0:28:460:28:49

He answered two questions wrong. and me, one.

0:28:490:28:52

Chaz, our historian who doesn't know The Third Reich,

0:28:520:28:56

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:28:560:28:58

I'm cheesed off about getting voted off at that level.

0:29:060:29:10

I'll get stick for the football question.

0:29:100:29:13

I had Bilbao in my head and I couldn't shift it.

0:29:130:29:17

Alastair will be out next, I'm sure.

0:29:170:29:19

He's been weak right through. He should be here.

0:29:190:29:23

0:31:560:32:00

Who's outstayed their welcome? Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:32:000:32:05

Once again, Jasper answered all his questions correctly.

0:32:080:32:12

For the first time, Dawn is the weakest link,

0:32:120:32:16

but she did bank the most money.

0:32:160:32:18

But will that be enough to save her in the vote?

0:32:180:32:22

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

Alastair, you don't know your Michelle Pfeiffers

-from your Mel Gibsons.

-No.

0:32:400:32:42

Why Dawn?

0:32:420:32:44

She was the weakest link. She's done well

0:32:440:32:47

up to now, but she just got a lot of nasty questions.

0:32:470:32:51

Dawn, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:32:510:32:54

Good luck, guys.

0:32:570:33:00

I'm disappointed, cos I believe I could have gone further and won.

0:33:020:33:07

But I've proved that I've got knowledge and I got further than I did last time.

0:33:070:33:12

I think Kate is likely to win. She's determined

0:33:120:33:16

and she's got a good knowledge

0:33:160:33:18

and being a poor student, I hope she wins.

0:33:180:33:21

Time is up. In that round you won £370. In Round Eight,

0:35:410:35:45

you can treble what you bank.

0:35:450:35:48

So in the next round there's £3000 to be won.

0:35:480:35:52

The question is, who is most likely to let you down?

0:35:520:35:55

Time to vote off the weakest link.

0:35:590:36:02

For the third time, Jasper is the strongest link

0:36:040:36:08

having answered all his questions.

0:36:080:36:10

The weakest link is Alastair.

0:36:100:36:13

But at this crucial stage, how will the players choose?

0:36:130:36:16

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

0:36:180:36:22

Jasper,

0:36:300:36:31

that's an interesting choice.

0:36:310:36:34

Did you not have the courage

0:36:340:36:36

to stick with the stronger player as your opponent?

0:36:360:36:40

It's a kind of intelligence, courage. Better to vote for the strongest person

0:36:400:36:45

and then play the weaker person in the final.

0:36:450:36:49

Are you proud to be seen having done that?

0:36:490:36:53

I'm proud to be greedy.

0:36:530:36:55

Alastair,

0:36:550:36:57

why Katie?

0:36:570:36:59

Well, Jasper answered all his questions, so between the two

0:36:590:37:03

I had no choice but to vote for Katie.

0:37:030:37:05

Statistically, Alastair

0:37:050:37:08

was the worst player.

0:37:080:37:10

But Dr Katie with two votes and no medical knowledge will save you,

0:37:100:37:15

you are the weakest link. Goodbye.

0:37:150:37:17

Spineless.

0:37:190:37:20

Exactly the same thing happened last time.

0:37:240:37:27

This is a bad losers' programme. I'm a bad winner.

0:37:270:37:31

I am strongest and they vote me off tactically. It's not fair.

0:37:310:37:35

Jasper has stitched me up and stabbed me in the back most.

0:37:350:37:39

Alastair knew he was weakest.

0:37:390:37:41

But Jasper wasn't brave enough to keep me on and let me beat him.

0:37:410:37:45

I don't want either of them to win.

0:37:450:37:48

They're both losers in my book.

0:37:480:37:50

Round Eight.

0:37:530:37:54

Of the £7,000 you could have won,

0:37:540:37:56

you've got £1,640. Jasper

0:37:560:38:00

and Alastair, two of you left.

0:38:000:38:02

You have 90 seconds. Whatever you win will be trebled and added to your total

0:38:020:38:08

to make up your final prize money.

0:38:080:38:10

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

Between you, you have won £90.

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

0:40:000:40:03

That means prize money today of £1,910. Only one of you

0:40:030:40:10

will take the money away.

0:40:100:40:12

You'll now be playing head-to-head.

I'll ask alternate questions, best of five. Whoever answers the most, wins.
