00:00Every one of these celebs has voted out in the first round when they're on the show before.
00:05So tonight is all about putting the record straight and proving the doubters wrong.
00:09It's going to be fine. It's not. It's going to be sort of fine.
00:12For seven, it can only get better. But for one, it's going to be really, really awful.
00:17This is The Weakest Link.
00:30Behind me are eight celebrities who are each trying to win up to £50,000 for charity.
00:34But to do that, they will have to work together.
00:37Seven will leave with nothing, as round by round we lose the player, voted The Weakest Link.
00:42Don't need to remind these guys, they've never played a round where they weren't voted The Weakest Link.
00:46Let's meet the team.
00:50I'm Donna. I'm an actress from North Yorkshire.
00:55I'm Danny, an entertainer from Labrack Grove. Not to be confused with Notting Hill.
01:00I'm Linda. I'm an actress, loose woman and national treasure.
01:05I'm Tim. I'm a comedian from Surrey.
01:09I'm Helen and I'm an actress from Manchester.
01:12I'm Conan and I'm a rapper from South London.
01:16I'm Susie. I'm a comedian from Glasgow.
01:21I'm Joel, a DJ and music producer from London.
01:24Fantastic intros, guys.
01:31Like, so clear.
01:32You know, you've already basically done as well as you did last time.
01:35So, that's great.
01:36And I'm going to go through the rules, because let's be honest, you only played for about two and a half minutes last time.
01:40In each round, the aim is to answer enough questions correctly to reach your target within the time limit.
01:47The target for round one is £2,500.
01:50The fastest way to get there is to work together to create a chain of eight correct answers.
01:56Get your question wrong, you break the chain and you lose all the money in that chain.
02:00But, if you press your button and say bank before the question is asked, the money is safe and you begin a new chain from scratch.
02:09You've got two minutes and 30 seconds for this round.
02:12And we'll start with the person most likely to completely fall apart at the very idea of going first.
02:16That's you, Helen Flanagan.
02:18Let's play The Weakest Link.

04:57That bank was a good bank.
04:58Yeah, it was.
04:59And I can tell you that you banked £750 out of a possible £2,500.
05:05Ordinarily, I'd say that was bad, but based on the, you know, the calibre of people, I would go as far as to say, smashed it.
05:16OK, so, who thinks the road to redemption is off the A1?
05:20Who thinks a nemesis is related to a nema bro?
05:24Guys, I thought...

05:29Yeah.
05:29Come on, Tim.
05:30Sorry.
05:30That's right in your wheelhouse.
05:33One of you is about to leave with nothing.
05:35Oh, no.
05:36It's time to vote off the weakest link.
05:39An understandably tense first round.
05:46They looked unsure even on the easy questions.
05:49Four got answers wrong, so it's anyone's guess who won't be redeeming themselves.
05:55Voting's over.
05:57It's now time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.
06:05Susie.
06:06Susie.
06:09Susie.
06:11Helen.
06:14Danny.
06:17Susie.
06:20Susie.
06:23Danny.
06:26Danny.
06:31Linda, how are you finding it so far?
06:33Very tense first round.
06:34Very difficult, actually, because I'm not very good at this sort of thing.
06:37I've got some incredible news for you.
06:39Yeah?
06:40Deer exist.
06:42You can find them in many parts.
06:44Yeah.
06:44Does that mean I got one right?
06:46No.
06:47That's the one you got wrong.
06:49The correct answer was unicorn.
06:50I knew it was unicorn.
06:52Conan, you didn't like the French question, did you?
06:54No.
06:55Because the last time you were on, a question was, many happy returns is typically used on
07:00what occasion?
07:01And you said Christmas.
07:03Right.
07:04So now you've got a birthday question.
07:06Bon anniversaire.
07:07I see what you did there.
07:08And you went, hello.
07:09That was it.
07:10What's wrong, Danny?
07:11I just realised.
07:12What?
07:13When I lost last time, it was a Wednesday answer.
07:16You did me a Wednesday one today.
07:18Yeah.
07:18I think they've done it for all of us.
07:19Because my last one, I said Swede instead of Carrot, and this time it was Carrot.
07:23Yeah.
07:23Oh, now you've been rumbled, guys.
07:26What do you mean, rumbled?
07:27You're making us go wrong with the same...
07:29No, it's an opportunity for redemption.
07:31It's like to give you another chance.
07:32I was thinking revenge.
07:34No, not revenge.
07:35Er, Susie.
07:37Mate.
07:38I feel like you got pretty unlucky with the...
07:40I know what it's saying, because I play pool.
07:42Look at me, Rob.
07:43Look at me.
07:44Right?
07:45Of course I play pool, because I'm too short for snooker.
07:48I know what it's saying, mate.
07:49LAUGHTER
07:50LAUGHTER
07:51And, you know, some people didn't know their alphabet that well.
07:56Some people didn't know the days of the week.
07:58Steady.
07:59Doesn't even know Bon Anniversaire.
08:00Yeah.
08:01Yeah, yeah.
08:01That's...
08:02Yeah.
08:03Everybody is catching strays here as Susie goes out of the show.
08:06She's...
08:07I know what a hotel room is.
08:08Let me just tell you what I hate about everyone else before I go.
08:12No, Susie, I'm devastated.
08:14Me too, mate.
08:15It's been wonderful to have you on, but I'm sorry to say that with four votes,
08:19you are the weakest link.
08:20Goodbye.
08:21Aww.
08:23I've always preferred mastermind.
08:26LAUGHTER
08:26Reaching.
08:29I'm devastated.
08:31Can't believe it.
08:32I thought, I'm going to go back.
08:33I'm going to have a bit of redemption.
08:35I'm going to clear my name.
08:37But no.
08:38First it again.
08:39It's like the loser of losers.
08:42Everything gets worse than that, does it?

13:18Yeah.
13:19Her suit.
13:20First of all, I can tell you weren't going to say hair because even with that shirt on,
13:23I know you're very antibody hair.
13:25Yeah, pretty well groomed.
13:26Yeah.
13:26But I didn't understand the question at all.
13:28Right, okay.
13:29He doesn't know that either.
13:30No, I don't know.
13:31No.
13:31The what?
13:32Her suits.
13:33Do you know what her suits means?
13:34Her suit?
13:35Her suit.
13:35Is it hair?
13:36That's a hard question though.
13:38Yeah, it's a hard question.
13:39I don't know many of my mates that know that either.
13:41But just to give you a bit of context, Joel, Linda knew it and she thought a deer was a
13:45mythical creature.
13:50Donna, you voted for Linda.
13:52I did.
13:53Whose performance on this show, if you don't mind saying, I believe you've enjoyed.
13:56I really have.

14:00I really do, Linda.
14:02I'm sorry.
14:03I think you made the right decision.
14:04Sorry.
14:04That's all right, love.

14:08I'm not going.
14:09You're not going?
14:10You'll have to drag me off of here.
14:11OK.
14:12Can we just turn her light off?
14:14Get the secure ring in here to get me out.
14:18All right, Linda, I'm afraid to say that with three votes, you are the weakest link.
14:23Goodbye.
14:23Got to go then, haven't I?
14:25Yeah, sorry.
14:28Is there any steps?
14:29No.
14:30It's all flat and there's some steps there.
14:32OK.
14:34All I know is that I did better than I did the last time.
14:36I just got really confused with when to, say, bank.
14:39And then I was pressing it before they'd got the question right and everything.
14:43So, I think I've got quite a small brain.
14:47Oh, what a liberty.
14:49Round three.
14:57Uh, you voted off Linda.
15:00Um, obviously sad to see her go, but in terms of somebody who's trying to host the show,
15:04thank you.
15:04You have got £1,250 out of a possible £5,000.
15:12In this round, we are upping the stakes, not only you down to six players with another
15:16ten seconds coming off the clock, but the target is now £5,000.
15:21We're going to start with the strongest link from the last round.

18:13It's time to vote off the weakest link.
18:18Oh, mate, OK.
18:20Tim is still the only safe bearer fans.
18:24Helen took so long to get the month question, I had enough time to make a cup of tea and go
18:29to the shop for biscuits, but she did get it right in the end.
18:33Voting's over.

19:18votes that she's got.
19:18I have sensed that.
19:19Can you explain your thought process, please?
19:21The thing that made me do it, actually, was just before a correct answer, when you waited
19:26for, I think, six minutes.
19:28What, did I get the answer right?
19:30You did, but it was just the clock was going down.
19:32Well, if it makes you feel any better, she seems pretty chilled about it.
19:35Conan.
19:37What made you vote for Danny?

19:50Okay.
19:51You know?
19:52Helen, talk to me.
19:54What's the issue?
19:55Like, Danny, should we go in?

19:59Yeah.
19:59Go on legs.
20:00No, they don't.
20:00They go on your feet.
20:01And I answered it right.
20:03Yes, I took a little bit.
20:05I thought about the question.
20:06Yeah.
20:07So you went through the whole year.
20:08It was quite a long time, wasn't it?
20:09Well, you said May, and it felt like the duration of the month of May is how long you spent
20:14deliberating over it.
20:15It felt like it might have come to a field or something.
20:16It was such a long time.
20:18I generally thought, has Helen forgotten there's a clock?
20:21Yeah.
20:21I did, yeah.

20:24Are you glad that you came back to have another day?
20:26What do you think, Ramesh?
20:27Do you think I've redeemed myself a little bit?
20:28I think maybe a little bit.
20:29Well, I think it's quite a leading question.
20:31Yes.
20:31Yes, you have.
20:33You've definitely redeemed yourself.
20:35It'd take ten minutes to walk out.
20:38Leave me alone.
20:41Wow.
20:41Helen, I'm sorry to say that with three votes, you are the weakest link.
20:45Goodbye.
20:50His heels really hurt.
20:55It's not bad.
20:56So how it went wrong for me last time is I didn't listen to the question.
21:01So this time, I listened to the question.
21:03Yes, I messed up because I took too much time, but at least I got it right.
21:06And I was so happy that I got it right.
21:08Honestly, the shock when my name came out of their mouths, I was like, wow.

30:45Oh, man.

30:50Sorry, bro.
30:50I'm eight.
30:51Hey.
30:51Uh, Danny.

30:55Tuk Tuk you didn't like.
30:56Wednesday one you didn't like.
30:57Excel.

31:04Over the moon.
31:05Good.
31:06I'm glad.
31:07I've still got an axe to grind with these three, though.
31:09I'm never going to do your show again.
31:11Don't worry.
31:12No one's commissioning it.
31:22Well, Danny, look.
31:23It's been amazing to have you on the show.
31:25But I'm afraid to say that with three votes,
31:27you are the weakest link.
31:28Goodbye.
31:30All right, guys.
31:32You know what?
31:34I've never liked you, you know.
31:36Not to go off first.
31:37That was literally my thing.
31:39I'm feeling great.
31:40And, you know, to be in the last four after going off first,
31:44that definitely was redemption.
31:54Round six.
31:56So far, you have banked £2,300 out of a possible £22,500.
32:01There's only three of you left.

35:13I tried to look lost.
35:14Listen, what I would say is you're lucky that you said Blackadder earlier.
35:17People will probably remember that.
35:18It can get worse than that.
35:19What made you vote for Tim?
35:22He's been so good throughout the whole game, but I think that was a bad round for him.
35:27Yeah, I don't feel sore about it for that exact reason.
35:29I got three wrong in a row.
35:31That's very magnanimous of you, Tim.
35:33I mean, you were strongest link in four rounds.
35:35Yeah, but it's not about accumulative points.
35:37No, you're absolutely right.
35:38I was just trying to, you know, be nice, but you can throw it back in my face if you like.
35:42I could rename the show accumulative points.
35:44Welcome to accumulative points.
35:46Well, Tim, you have been a fantastic contestant, but unfortunately, with two votes, you are the weakest link.
35:56Goodbye.

36:12I mean, last time I was out so early, I could hear the sound of the titles music ringing through the studio as I walked out.
36:19It was that early on.

36:41This time you have just 90 seconds, but whatever you bank will be doubled, meaning this round is worth a possible £20,000.
