Weakest Link - 9th March 2001 

Not only have I never seen so many consecutive passes and incorrect answers, I've also never seen so many ties! That one where all four voted for each other was epic.

I used to watch this after school! Such a great show

Aww, Andrea used to be my year 7 English and P.E teacher. She was awesome! I was gutted when she left!

Wow, the music in these early days when they reached the £1,000 target! That sounds awesome!

This is excellent out of the dozen or so episodes I've watched this is the first time they've banked their thousand pounds BRAVO

11:15 Don't you just hate it when they don't bank before the time is up missing out on a extra £20-£50

I'm watching this on March 9, 2019. 18 years later

I used to watch this and fall asleep but I wish it was on now cause I'd probably enjoy watching it.

18:07 Anne: Astonishingly though it may seem the man who's job is food processing and who thinks that an edible oil pickle for eating is an orange was statistically the worst player but don't let me influence you. *Andrea immediately changes her vote to Andy*

“Paul” “Paul” “Paul” “Paul” “Paul” “Paul” “Paul” “Ruth” Why was this so funny to me?😂😂

Andrea saved Leigh from elimination by switching her vote but Leigh didn't save her back.

As Claire put it, Ann was "picking on Andy from the start. Then, in the 3-way tie in the 3rd round, she forcefully pointed out Andy's flaws. Andrea had voted for Leigh, and, after hearing Ann's diatribe against Andy, Andrea changed her mind Ann said, "Don't let me influence you!" Translation: I want Andy to go!

Mr Strevens I've watched a number of your posts and this is the best quality yet thank you

£1890 is rather pathetic seeing as they did get The £1,000 Target in Round 1 I would've expected the Total Bank to be at least £2000-£3000

I think Ann called Astra "Asda" at one point 🤣

Claire 35 Payroll Supervisor Keith 58 Businessman Lee 41 Freelance Writer Ruth 60 Retired Andy 34 Company Director Andrea 24 Teacher Ian 48 IT Tutor Astra 30 Physiotherapist Paul 25 Psychology Student

I’m addicted to this show and I’m not even from the UK 🦉

Keith: "I would vote Astra off next because I think it's a silly name" 🤣

I like the winning music in this episode

"condensation is when a gas changes into a what?" "... a water?"

"Because he is the weakest link and he's wearing yellow! ^_^ "

0:42 Narrator: Here are today's team of nine contestants preparing for the show. Contestants: *Sitting around talking*

I was thinking "oh she's good" when they were doing well in the early rounds so it's a rare karmic occurrence when two consistently solid players make the finals.

‘right, time to have a lie down ruth’

Ian not banking in that round where Astra and Leigh were getting most of their questions right and then fucking up the questions triggered my fight or flight.

Leigh was a wothy winner

Iv never seen so many passes and wrong answers

lol her students were telling her she is the weakest link 😂

Lmao what kind of name is Astra makes me think of the car lol

I think Anne Robertson was so pretty when she did this show. Unfortunately we all have to age sometime and not look so young anymore. I sometimes wonder how I got to be 68 years old. Where DID the time go?

bro i get so annoyed when people don't bank and STILL get the question wrong.

Watching this as an innocent Canadian 10 year old is wayyy different from watching again as a 32 year old stoner in Hanoi in the middle of a global pandemic (Go Viet Nam!!!) in 2020

Who's watching this in 2020?

Aw i love when ann relaxes and rips them out the old shows are too serious but i know its new show for her then

The is the first time watching this after 20 years

I’m glad astra did well

Whoooooa! The Colorado River (29:50) doesn't even come within a few hundred miles of Texas, much less through Austin, which in the middle of the state!! Did no one hear that?

I knew you could do it Leigh

Ill never understand why people dont guess instead of saying pass

I don't like how Anne influences them on who gets voted off.

The questions on this are much easier than I remember

Keith should have been voted off in the second round because he said two chemical elements

see how much the game chnaged basically anne was tellin them to rid of andy in round 3...

Damn I was rooting for Andrea, she’s the hot one! 😂

It literally sounds like Anne is saying the last round your amount will be trebled!

I almost thought Ms Robinson wasn't going to be even-handed with the tie-breaking facts, although she still seemed to have more against the victim of the first change of vote than the second (or the third, a non-change). Lots of passing instead of guessing; perhaps Washington was the worst such. Wow - fourteen consecutive incorrect answers in one round.

Cholesterol does NOT increase risk of heart disease. If anything, it is a symptom of heart disease. When you arteries become damaged or inflamed, cholesterol goes in to heal the damage. But if the cholesterol is oxidized, it can get stuck inside the damage and form plaques. This oxidation is caused primarily by eating too many carbs, not too much fat as we've been told. Nor is cholesterol a waste product; it's one of the most vital chemicals in your body, helping to build the brain, sex hormones, cell membranes, and more. There is no correlation between high cholesterol and heart disease; in fact, about half of all people hospitalized for heart attacks have low or normal cholesterol levels. Also, the Colorado River in Texas is not the same Colorado River that runs through the Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam. They are two separate rivers with the same name. I know because I was recently in the Austin area for a family wedding and I remember driving across that river and wondering whether they were the same. I later looked it up and found out they weren't.

I don't understand why people pass, just take a guess. If it's a number, say a number. Passing on the 50/50 questions are the ones that really get me though.

During ROUND 6 you can tell Anne Robinson was getting annoyed with the contestants failing to show any intelligence at all! Andrea really should've BANKED that £20 it wasn't like they were going to get a chain of correct answers at all other than the 1 correct answer To be fair being may have thought Anne Robinson was out of order, but then she was being brutally honest, and some of the contestants on game shows today are just a pathetic as this lot

Which contestant was namerd after the car they were concieved in?

The guy who was first eliminated was at the University of Huddersfield which confirms my belief that they teach them nothing there

Anyone have The Weakest Link UK episodes for April 2001? Can’t find them on any platform!

Round 1 1000 pound target reached 6:06

£1800 certainly wasn't much.

I miss this weakest link because the new 👎👎👎👎

Wow, started strong to ending poorly

Right

27:20 There are 5 players and only 3 questions answered correctly that round, which means at least 2 people got all their questions wrong, so what statistics are they going by? Same question at 32:10.

Didn’t know Adele was a teacher

Seriously only 1 correct answer during 1 round?...

Can I get a thumbs-up for Comrade Xylaphonist

BANK!!

Yay all the people who were the weakest link got voted off was there an episode where all the people who were the strongest link got voted off or none of the people who were the weakest link got voted off

A contestant complaining about Anne Robinson being "a little bit harsh". The naivety of those figs

why money in kitty? Cat not reliable banker

Well I have to agree with Keith, ASTRA is a stupid name to call your child, but there again there have been worse

damn why did Ann hate andy so much...

Oh Andy You Upset The Family LOL

5:21 voice crack

ANA

8 people voted Paul

I Know Paul He My Dad's Boss At Work

Astra is the worst contestant I’ve ever seen, she must have got 40 wrong answers in a row

Yow ! Is Anne Robinson still alive ?? or has DEATH killed her ??

Andy was begging to be voted off. He couldn't recall 'attorney', he didn't know 'olive or Yiddish', and while he works in the food industry, he thought oranges are pickled. Astonishingly ignorant. And, Ian never banks. He misses questions more often than he's correct, but he doesn't bank. That's reason to get rid of him. Ian is pathetic. He didn't bank. He had it out for Astra, whom actually faired better than he. And, apparently he doesn't know the difference between women and girls.

This was one of the worst players

Is it just me or do all the contestants have an accent?

I wonder does the hosts have any children and if she does do she degrade her children the way she's doing these contestants

Leigh...smart + beautiful. Brits are so soft-spoken compared to us Yanks.

Ian was seriously daft

By all means the most ignorant this group of contestants in history!!

I would find the program more enjoyable if the presenter was ‘nice’. Her attitude isn’t necessary, but i see the Australian program uses the same style, which i am too ‘nice’ to name or describe.

This is painful to watch
