Anne: Johnathon, despite the fact that one of the other contestants can't even spell your name correctly, they have voted YOU the Weakest Link. Goodbye.
Wednesday December 6
Anne: Darren, adding up not one of your strong points?
Darren: No, not really.
Anne: You're a member of the Eurovision song contest fan club, aren't you? What do you do when they're working out the scores?
Darren: Just sit there and sing the songs.
Anne: Do you think you're on the right show today?
Tuesday December 5
Anne: It was certainly interesting to find you thinking of a parka as a pen rather than an overcoat... Goodbye!
Monday December 4
Anne: Alistair, not a brilliant start. You've voted off Carol, but she didn't get as many wrong as you, did she?
Alistair: No.
Anne: No. That would have been difficult, actually. But Gordon, you managed it.
Friday November 24
Anne: (referring to the ornately written name on the voting board)) Maurice, that's a very very pretty name you've drawn there.
Maurice: If I don't win this I'll go for artistic merit.
Anne: I don't think you'll win that either, Maurice.
Thursday November 23
Anne: Jim, why Pete?
Jim: In the first round I voted for him because I thought he could beat me, and in the second I wanted him out.
Anne: Okay, so you're not a team player?
Jim: In this case not.
Anne: Well, not at all actually.
Wednesday November 22
Anne: Aaron, you had a surprisingly good round. Was that a mistake?
Tuesday November 21
Anne: Well let me tell you, team, you got six questions wrong in a row. The idea is that as you vote off the Weakest Links you get better not worse.
Anne: Gordon, you've woken up!
Monday November 20
Anne: Well Caroline, you certainly did us proud when I asked you how many pennies in the pound pre-decimalisation. You thought there were one hundred. Wouldn't have been much point in decimalisation would there, Caroline?
Friday November 17
Anne: Jon, all four questions wrong - couldn't you be bothered to answer them?
Thursday November 16
Pat: I've drawn moths - I'm very artistic you see.
Anne: Well, that's a matter of opinion.
Wednesday November 15
Anne: Jill, are you a member of any clubs?
Jill: Yes (laughing).
Anne: What's funny about that?
Jill: I'm a former member of Mensa.
Anne: Former member of Mensa.... did they throw you out?
Tuesday November 14
Anne: Kaye, when you are staff training is there any arithmetic involved?
Kaye: No.
Anne: That's just as well isn't it, you took so long we thought you were counting it out.
