[@chrisgarton4225]

Now the rules: In each round the aim is to answer enough questions correctly to reach your five thousand pound target within the time limit. The fastest way to reach that target is to create a chain of nine correct answers. Get your question wrong and you break the chain and lose all the money in that chain. But if you say bank before the question is asked the money is safe, however, you’ll start a new chain from scratch. Remember at the end of the round only money that has been banked can be taken forward. In round one there are three minutes on the clock, the order you’re playing in was randomly selected before the show. We’ll start with the player whose name is first alphabetically, let’s play the Weakest Link!
