Page "The Weakest Link (UK game show)" Paragraph 11

After the seven-player edition, the studio was revamped once again to add two more podiums, and the potential prize money was raised to £ 50, 000.

Non-celebrities played on the show at first, however, at present, the primetime version features celebrities playing for charity.

Although Briggs and Robinson state that eight players will leave with nothing, normally the losing celebrities receive a " house " amount to give to their chosen charity, as well as their own fee for appearing on the show.

In some celebrity editions, two celebrities have represented one position in the game, with the two conferring before giving their answer.

There have also been several editions featuring entirely celebrity couples.

A Christmas edition of the programme has also regularly featured in the schedules in recent years.

Some contestants, such as Christopher Biggins, Peter Duncan and Basil Brush, have appeared several times.

A puppet edition also aired, which included a Robinson puppet introducing the show before twelve famous puppets played for charity.
