'''''The Weakest Link''''' is a television quiz show broadcasted in the early [[21st century]] hosted by [[Anne Robinson]].It was later adapted for other countries around the world, each in their own language with their own host, however they all bore some resemblance to Anne Robinson, in the clothes they wore, or even their hair styles. It is unknown why the Gamestation chose the name Anne, rather than another international name. The 10th Doctor actor [[David Tennant]] also entered the programme in real life.

'''''The Weakest Link''''' was a [[television]] [[game show]] broadcast on the [[Satellite 5|Game Station]] by the [[year]] [[200,000]], it was produced by the [[Bad Wolf Corporation]] and hosted by the [[Anne Droid]].


On [[Satelitle Five]](which was now known as "The Gamestation") in the[[The Far Future|201st century]]it was remade by the [[Bad Wolf Corporation]] and hosted by the [[Anne Droid]], which was similar to the original show although the "Weakest Links" were apparently disintegrated by the robot and there are six players instead of nine. Although it was believed that the losers died, they were in fact trasmatted to the hidden [[Dalek]] fleet for processing into [[Daleks of Human Origin]].

You may be looking for the real world series.

The Weakest Link was a television game show broadcast on the Game Station by the year 200,000, it was produced by the Bad Wolf Corporation and hosted by the Anne Droid.

The show was named as such for those who lost, the eponymous "Weakest Links". Typically, a Weakest Link was chosen by a vote performed by the contestants at the end of each round. As votes were made strategically, contestants who performed worst in a round, making them technically the Weakest Link, could be spared by the vote.

By 200,000, the Weakest Links were ostensibly killed by a disintegrator beam fired from the Anne Droid; any contestant who attempted to escape was automically branded a "Weakest Link" and disintergrated as well. Just prior to eliminating a contestant, the Anne Droid would routinely announce "You are the Weakest Link. Goodbye." In reality, the Weakest Links, along with all those who lost aboard the Game Station, they were in fact transmatted to the hidden Dalek fleet for processing into Daleks of human origin.
