00:00Tonight, we're putting eight celebrities under pressure they haven't faced since
00:06their exams. I'm just old but I'm not first one out. Who am I kidding? This lot
00:11definitely didn't do exams. This is The Weakest Link.
00:24Behind me are eight celebrities who are each trying to win up to 50,000 pounds
00:28for charity but to do that they'll have to work together. Seven will leave with
00:33nothing as round by round we lose the player voted The Weakest Link. It's a
00:37great idea for a quiz show format isn't it? Might just take off. Let's meet the team.
00:41I'm Harriet, a comedian from Kent. I'm John, professional footballer from Swansea.

01:38In each round, the aim is to answer enough questions correctly to reach your target within
01:42the time limit. The target for round one is £2,500. Fastest way to get there is to work together to
01:49create a chain of eight correct answers. Get your question wrong, you break the chain and you lose
01:54all of the money in that chain. But if you press your button and say bank before the question is
01:59asked, the money is safe and you begin a new chain from scratch. You've got two minutes and 30 seconds
02:06for this first round. We'll start with the person most likely to say you're welcome when someone
02:11doesn't say thank you. That's you, Alex Brooker. Let's play The Weakest Link. Start the clock.

06:16John.
06:19John.
06:24So, a good solid first round. Um, Anna, how are you enjoying it so far?
06:28I was really enjoying the questions and it was all fun and then at the end we had to vote and
06:32all of a sudden you sucked the fun out of it, so. Oh, well, that's not me, that's the format.
06:36Well, I'm going to blame you, you're the face of it. Yeah, no, you're right, I am the face of it, yeah.
06:40Why did you vote for John? I was trying to remember mistakes that other people had made and I'm
06:45really sorry, John, I just remembered the PlayStation question. It's all right, don't worry.
06:48It's okay. I'll be honest with you, he's saying it's okay but it doesn't feel like it is. No.
06:51Luca, why did you vote for the legend, John Hartford?
06:55Played for Arsenal, if you got all of them right, I'd vote for you.
06:58You might feel like I'm picking on you and I am and the reason is, is because you've written
07:02coys on your vote. Yeah. Now, once a series I'm allowed to just get rid of somebody randomly.
07:08Okay. Luca, I'm sorry to, I've just, I actually didn't know then, I was like, I haven't watched
07:14that many. I'm only joking. I really regret my choice. Why? Um, because I was going to vote
07:22out Luca and then I thought everyone was going to, so I felt a bit bad for him.
07:26Aww. But I didn't know he was a Spurs fan and I cannot tell you how much, no matter if he gets
07:31every single one of them right next month, I'm voting him out. Okay. Game on.
07:34Okay. Well, here we go. This has put a lot of pressure on me.
07:37She's coming with the hardest questions, you're buying me out anyway.
07:42Gareth. Yes. Great British Bake Off.
07:44Do you know what? I was so overwhelmed by your new hair that I stopped listening and then I just...
07:49It's happened across the series. I mean, genuinely, I was thinking,
07:52isn't your hair nice. Thank you.
07:55You also voted for John. John, I think, got the first wrong answer, so.
07:58Er, John, how are you feeling about how this has gone?
08:00Er, not great. I just wanted to, er, not be the first off, to be honest with you,
08:05but not sounding bitter, but some people got two wrong and I got one wrong,
08:09so I don't know why that worked out. I got voted.
08:12Listen, I don't agree with it. I think it's disgusting what's happened to you today.
08:16I want to be absolutely crystal clear on this. I think it's an outrage.
08:18John, I'm devastated to say that with four votes, you are the weakest link. Goodbye.
08:30I don't think anybody really wants to go out in the first round, but in all fairness,
08:36I wasn't the weakest link, so I've still got that to hold on to.
08:45Round two. So far, you have banked £900 out of a possible £2,500.
08:50Seven players are left and we are taking ten seconds off the clock.

11:27The fissile.
11:27Correct.
11:28Time is up and I can tell you, in round two, you put in the bank 500 pounds.
11:36Well, it's not quite disastrous, but it wasn't as good. I mean, you're going in the wrong direction.
11:40OK, so this first joke I'm about to do requires a bit of thinking, so just, like, really do pay attention.

11:53I'm so glad you're doing these in my eye line.
11:59Who thinks a train of thought is how philosophers commute?
12:03One of you is about to leave with nothing. It's time to vote off The Weakest Link.
12:11Not a great second round. Anna really struggled and didn't get any of her questions right.
12:18Gareth thought the luge was the limbo. Talk about going down nil fast.
12:23Voting's over. It's now time to reveal who you think is the weakest link.

12:36Anna.
12:39Luca.

12:54Harriet, how are you?
12:55I'm OK. I'm a bit stressed.
12:57You weren't entirely sure how many seconds there were in just a minute.
13:01That's so rude.
13:05It's so rude to bring that up.
13:09But sometimes it takes a minute to work out what the question is.
13:12Got you.
13:13And so you're just... I have a bit of a delay sometimes.
13:15Sure, sure.
13:16You're finding this quite stressful.
13:17I'm just trying my best and we don't need negative comments.
13:20No.
13:21Well, I do for the edit, but...
13:22Right.
13:24Why did you vote for Luca?
13:26Um, because I can't vote for a woman. I can't vote a woman off.
13:30OK.
13:31And the hedgehog thing.
13:32It's... I'm still on the hedgehogs.
13:34That's still... That's still upsetting you.
13:36It's still... I'm still thinking about it, yeah.
13:37OK. Um, Anna, when I asked you the question about Jeremy Clarkson,
13:42um, you... you behaved like we were just having a chat on the sofa.
13:46You were going, oh, God, who is it? Um...
13:49It's your guy, isn't it? It's the...
13:50Where's my team?
13:51Who is the bloke? Um, and then I said Jeremy Clarkson,
13:53went, yeah, that's him. Like, we weren't in a timed round on a quiz.
13:56It was wild.
13:57It's my first time being on the show.
13:59No, sure.
14:00You know, it's a new, uh, reaction.
14:02Yes. No, I liked it.
14:03Uh, Luca, how are you feeling about how this photo's gone?
14:07Hope you're happy, Alex.
14:09Jon's definitely going to sign your shirt at the end of the day now.
14:14It wasn't just me.
14:15I'm joking. I'm joking.
14:17It's a good... It's for a great cause, and I'm just happy to be here.
14:20Uh, well, look, I just like your general vibe.
14:23I like the fact that you've got the jacket undone to here.
14:26It's like, it's a great look. You've got the snake there.
14:28That's for Alex.
14:29Yeah.
14:30Uh, well, listen, Luca, it's been great having you on the show.
14:35But I'm sorry to say that with four votes, you are the weakest link.
14:38Goodbye.
14:39Thanks, guys. Good luck.
14:44Out in the second round, um, gutted, really.
14:47Wish I could stay in there a bit longer.
14:49But, uh, dropping out of something to do with education is quite a strong point on mine.
14:54So I'm sure my parents won't be shocked.
15:01Round three.
15:02You've got £1,400 so far out of a possible £5,000.
15:06In this round, we are upping the stakes.

15:12but the target is now £5,000.
15:14We'll start with the strongest link from the last round.

18:12One of you is about to leave with nothing.
18:16It's time to vote off the weakest link.

19:03First of all, can I just thank you for coming onto the show and giving me some credibility with my children?
19:09I appreciate it.
19:10Genuinely, I text my eldest son and I said, we've got Pink Pantherist on the show.
19:15And he said, why would she come on a show with you?
19:18No, that's so... Come on.
19:20So, that's something for me to deal with.
19:24Meal deal, you seem very excited to answer that question correctly.
19:26Yeah, because that was just... That's everything to me.
19:29Right.
19:30Why did you vote for Alex?
19:31OMG.
19:32The only reason is because you're next to me.
19:35And so, it's like, you know what I mean?
19:36I remembered the Wren thing.
19:38Yeah.
19:39What is the drawing you've done?
19:41Oh, I was going to draw Homer Simpson, but I kind of...
19:44I don't know.
19:44And I don't know why I...
19:46Oh, I'm glad we've cleared it up.
19:47It's got nothing to do with you.
19:49I honestly thought you'd draw on Alex.
19:51No, no, no, no, you don't look like this.
19:52Sorry.
19:53You didn't have enough room for a massive head.
19:57You don't look like this, I swear.
19:58It's meant to be Homer Simpson.
20:00Hillary, how much of a quizzer are you?
20:03Not very good, I'm afraid.
20:05You've done very well so far, though.
20:06So far, yes.
20:08Yes.
20:09Um, banked on nothing, but, you know, it's better to be safe than sorry.
20:12Absolutely.
20:12That's why I didn't vote for Alex, actually, because he banked a big amount, didn't he, last time?
20:16There you go.
20:17So I forgave him.
20:18Doesn't mean anything in this game, apparently.
20:22Um, Alex.
20:23Yeah.
20:24Knowing you as I do, I suspect that you're angry about this.
20:27No, no, I'm a bit like, things are the first time I've got any wrong.
20:32Yes, but sometimes it goes against you.
20:33Yeah, sometimes it does.
20:34And also, to be honest with you, if, like, Kirkley's council see me stood up for much longer tonight,
20:39anyway, I'd have lost my blue badge, so it's probably better I'm going now.
20:42I'm actually still keeping something.
20:45Yeah, no, I get it, I get it.
20:46Um, Alex, I'm sorry to say that with three votes, you are the weakest link.
20:52Goodbye.
20:53Goodbye, everyone.
20:55Bye, everyone.
20:56Bye.
20:56Bye, Alex.
20:57See you later.
20:58Bye, Ramesh.
20:58Bye.
20:59Bye, Alex.
20:59Cheers, man.
21:00I think I've got some real tough ones in that round.
21:03It's like Pink Pantherist has got a question about a meal deal and girl guides, and I was like,
21:06God, if I'm one out of that, I'd have absolutely had a touch there.
21:10I'd have still been in.
21:11Round four, so far you have banked £2,350 out of a potential prize money of £10,000.
21:25There are just five of you left, and we are taking another 10 seconds off the clock.
21:30So you now have two minutes to bank a possible £5,000.
21:34We're going to start with the strongest link from the last round.
21:36That's you, Pink Pantherist.
21:38Let's play The Weakest Link.
21:40Start the clock.
21:43In R&B music released in 2000, the first UK top ten single by Cisco has what title?
21:48Panchant or Thong Song?

25:11So then what happened?

25:14You did.
25:15And I answered quite quickly.

25:17Yeah, and I should have just said bank.
25:18I hold my hand after that.
25:20Do you know what, Hillary?
25:21Thank you for taking responsibility, but I do very much think it's Harriet.
25:25Why did you vote for Anna?
25:27Yeah, why?
25:28I know, remember when I said I would never vote off a woman,
25:31and then who have I become?
25:33The show's ruined me.
25:34The problem with that strategy, Harriet, is that when you do vote them off,
25:38they think, oh, my God, I'm that bad.
25:40She's overcome her basic fundamental rule to vote for me.
25:43I'm the problem.
25:47Weirdly, you've become the patriarchy.
25:49Yes.
25:51Anna, I feel like you feel that it's time to go.
25:56I think that we want to raise as much money for charity,
25:59and I am not the person who's going to do that, so this is good.
26:04It's such a noble thing to go.
26:05Do you know what, it's better for the charity if I go.
26:07I did my best.
26:09Well, you've been a brilliant contestant,
26:11but I'm sorry to say that with four votes, you are the weakest link.
26:14Goodbye.
26:16Bye, guys.
26:23I cannot believe I lasted till the fourth round.

30:09So, I'm not saying it's entirely down to my pep talk,
30:12but I don't think it didn't help, you know?
30:15It's good you're here.
30:16That's what we're all saying.
30:18Gareth, I thought you were quite unlucky,
30:20because it was EastEnders family.
30:22I mean, EastEnders.
30:23I don't watch EastEnders.
30:24No.
30:25Because I'm too busy reading the works of Goethe.
30:29Sorry.
30:30No, fair enough.
30:31How do you feel about how far you've got?
30:34I feel really good.
30:34Although, actually, I have done the show once before,
30:36and exactly the same thing happened.
30:38So, I ended up in a tryst with the ladies, and then they booted me out.
30:44Yeah.

30:45Cannot keep Gareth Malone away from a tryst with the ladies.
30:49Well, listen, Gareth, it has been an absolute delight to have you on the show.

31:03It's the curse of me against the ladies.

31:08I was ganged up on.

31:13I knew, two rounds before, I knew what was going to happen.
31:20Round six, you have banked £4,950.

33:41In the next round, not only does the money go up to a possible £10,000,
33:45but you get the chance to double what you bank, meaning that there is a possible £20,000 up for grabs.
33:51So think very carefully about this next decision.

34:46You said 25.
34:47I thought it was 20.
34:49I would have got it right.
34:49Had I heard?
34:50That might be your pronunciation.
34:52You're a bit mumbly, maybe, and you need to pronounce a little bit.
34:55Oh, really?
34:56No, I accept defeat.
34:58I'm really happy.
34:59I really didn't expect it.
35:00I do know a bit of general knowledge,
35:02but I really did think I got lucky with my questions.
35:05I think, genuinely, I think Harriet and Hillary will agree with me.
35:09You're doing yourself a disservice.
35:10Well, thank you.
35:11You're absolutely brilliant on the show.
35:13Yeah, you ladies.

35:23Please tell them that.

35:25It's been a delight to have you on the show,

35:28you are the weakest link.

35:37Like, literally, as soon as the round was done, I was like, I'm out.
35:40But I was fine with it.
35:41I'm genuinely just so happy that I did this.
35:44It's all for a good cause.
35:46I can go sleep at night knowing that I wasn't the first to go.

35:51That was a serious concern of mine, but we made it.
35:57Our final two.

42:55It was good.
42:56You did so.

43:17don't be the weakest link.
43:18Goodbye.
43:20So, I'm the runner-up, which is, you know,
43:22I'm very proud that I got that far, but I'm still not the winner,
43:25but a worthy winner.
43:27Harriet was a worthy winner.
43:28Yeah, I'm so happy that I won for the charity.
43:32It didn't feel like I was the worthy winner, but I really wanted to win for them,
43:36and so I just kept going, and I'm going to need some kind of therapy, which hopefully weakest link will provide.
