RIP Cornelia (7 April 1941 - 28 May 2018)

As an American that enjoys learning about other countries history and culture it’s very intriguing to watch all these Australian commercials 😂 👍🏼

RIP Cornelia Frances. I came here to use this video as a tribute to you.

The rule explanation is much better in this version.

You were a great villainous host, Cornelia Frances. Rest in peace.

These questions are so easy. It's like round 1 of the UK version every time a link leaves. How they didn't reach the target is beyond me.

I used to watch the UK version and the only issue (in my opinion) was the fact the prize money was so low - looks like the Aussies has the right idea!!

actually enjoyed watching the adds from all those years back XD

If anybody just wants to see where they bank the max, it's during the second round at 14:27 when they bank it. I suggest starting at the beginning of the second round. It's at 12:14. Just thought some people would like to know this.

I think Anne Robinson and Cornelia Frances are both great hosts and do the show credit. Interestingly both were born in Liverpool in the UK.

So many of these questions are so easy! I wish I was there...

The being voted off process is so brutal to watch, I just want to hug the person each time haha

Cornelia Frances passed away today. Had to come back and revisit this show again.

RIP Cornelia Frances! A huge loss to Australian TV with the loss of an icon.

Finally, a full episode of The Weakest Link Australia!

They had A PERFECT CHAIN of 9 Correct Answers in ROUND 7 & could've won the full $10,000

RIP Cornelia

Rip Cornelia Francis I liked our version even though she was no Anne Robinson she brought some charm to this show I was sad after like one or 2 seasons of the weakest link they cancelled it I liked this show :)

Love these old ads haha a bit of nostalgia

This must have been a VERY early episode of The Weakest Link. Jacob returned for the 'Best of The Best' edition & Brett returned for the 'Worst Looser' edition. They began editing the theme tune early on in this series too. If you listen closely, it's shorter than the original used in the UK version of The Weakest Link. I'm not sure but I believe that the only reason why there are two sets of stairs behind the team with no seats for an audience must mean that Channel 7 ran out of time to complete the set. The original 'Bank Target' sound was used in this episode. In other episodes, the 'Time Up' sting is used instead. They also did not light the ring above the set up in lights when the team banked the target like they have in later episodes. I had all but the Pilot Episode of Series One & the entire Series Two on VHS when I was younger, even recording repeats. I wish I had kept them now...I had all the Special Editions. I still remember the final episode which aired Monday April 22nd, 2002. I was devastated...

Thank you Kevin Wilson your songs helped me get a few of these questions right

wow, back at those days, we definitely look like our actual age! Now days we look like more than 5-10 years younger than our actual age.

RIP Cornelia Frances. Best quiz show host ever. :-( :-(

It was great seeing Janice make it to the final round, the “older constants” usually get voted out 1st or 2nd

good old primary school days. When tv used to be cool

Love the old ads. Brings back memories!

RIP Cornelia Frances

Lol, I entered one of the quiz groups to try to get on his show :). Only got two questions wrong, so got close to get past the first stage. Was like 30 questions to answer on paper.

Omg this show was the best. I was disappointed they cancelled because my dad was selected to be on it just before it finished. Cornelia Frances was really good and entertaining. Made my night

OMG this is 20 years old. I love the ads back then too. RIP Cornelia Frances.

30:24 THE MOLE!!! Hell yeah! That show was awesome.

rip Cornelia frances 😭 who is there in 2k19?

I remembered The Weakest Link back in 2001 and ended in 2002.

If I still had all my VHS recordings of Australia's Weakest Link, I would have uploaded an episode where a contestant threw their voting board across the set! Another episode had a contestant singing at Cornelia as she took The Walk of Shame. There was also another furious contestant that slammed their voting board down onto the podium as he was about to take The Walk of Shame & another female was annoyed so she just dropped her voting board on the floor.

I'm confused on how banking and breaking a chain and you can continue to guess makes you the strongest link.

If you compare Cornelia to Anne in terms of how they look in appearance, they look very much like each other.

Am I the only one who thinks they all did good ? That's quiet a resonable amount of money.

I loved this show, sale of the century & shafted at the time. I was around 6-7 years old back in 2001

Wow, that team did better than any team on the U.S. version and all but one team on the UK version (the quiz champions team being the exception). Most of it is that ALL of the questions on this version are easy and there were no hard ones thrown in to minimize the risk of multiple perfect rounds like there were on the US and UK versions.

I'm not Australian but I'm here anyway

That's so weird, just before I watched this about an hour ago, I looked up Cornelia and it said that she was born on 7th April 1941, and today is 7th April 2021 in the UK, meaning that she would've been 80 today if she was still alive.

R.I.P. Cornelia Frances

All hosts of this show in Australia (Cornelia Frances), UK (Anne Robinson) and South Africa (Fiona Coyne) had one thing common; Red Heads. Unfortunately Cornelia and Fiona have since passed on. RIP

She looks like Ann Robinson

The way she smiles at the end of each episode, is it supposed to be a genuine smile or an evil smile?

Jacob appears on the Strongest Links special and makes it to the final round. Unfortunately it's unknown if he won. The episode's on KZfaq but cuts out near the end.

This host is exactly correct. You are not supposed to look at whom anyone else is voting for.

I lovvvvvvved this show!

If this was aired in Perth, who presented the news update at the end? Rick Ardon or Susannah Carr?

Both Weakest Link and Dog Eat Dog did their best to be hits in Australia as they were in Britain. The next BBC game show that should come to Australia would have to be Pointless because like with the other two, it has been exported to other countries and Australia would definitely be a good one to bring that show to. Those three are pretty much the only BBC shows since 2000 that have been exported to other countries around the world.

The questions are really really easy compared with other iterations.

This aired on Monday March 26th, 2001. (15th episode)

There's only ever one Anne Robinson.

Better than England show. Less insults and more intelligent people. Handsome prize money too.

Im vision impaired. What colour is the little indicator light that moves up and down and tells you how much a question is worth and also the digits on the countdown clock?

28:40-28:55 Adam survived the pervious 2 vote-offs, but didn't remain undetected in this one & it was Rina who was THE WEAKEST LINK

The host of the Australian version is Cornelia Frances

Oh my god, it's Morag Bellingham!

Man I miss the old Channel 7

I wonder how many people realize that "Goodbye" is short for "God be with you." Think about it for a moment. "You are the Weakest Link. God be with you". Doesn't sound as nasty does it?

omg... lol... was thinking... "well...she's way over on the other side, and it's wasting so much time for You to turn to ask the questions..." when they bumped Rina...

Gezz,Cornelia had flair and sass. It was sad she passed a few yes ago.

The Australian version sadly has too many ads. :(

Wow! She's an especially stoic hostess, even when the team reaches the target!

44:30 Does anyone know the name of this announcer? He used to do announcements on Nickelodeon in the 2000s.

Wow 56,300 out of possible 100,000. 56% of total prize is the best i know so far. If you know other great performances lemme know! :)

MORAG!

Cornelia: Jacob, what colour are my underwear? Jacob: White? Cornelia: That answer is incorrect, the correct answer is “Red with purple daisies!”

I’m watching this in February 2020… Very interesting to see Australian version of this show… Australian accents are much easier to understand than Americans… Only criticism is far too many adverts… However many thanks for posting

I remember that Mainland ad XD

I love how Cornelia ends the show! "Join me on Thursday for The Weakest Link.... Goodbye" :)

In round 2 they coulda banked 10k without doing it in bits.

It would have been better if the host talked to each person like Anne did on the UK version. She would talk to a particular player for about 1-2 minutes at the end of each round. The banter was the best part of the show.

In this episode of Temptation from 2005, there was a contestant called Phil. I’m 90% sure he was also on an episode of The Weakest Link in mid to late 2001. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f6dxetOLsdG3lHU.html

The presenter of that version is cornelia francis and i like her speech for goodbye

Haha. Robert was my Teacher back then at Blackburn high, the next day was funny.

R.I.P Corneila Frances Passed away: 28/05/18 Born: 07/04/41 Cause of death: Breast Cancer

I work in IT and I have never heard that word being used for the physical space taken up by a computer.

Rest in peace Cornelia Frances.

They could banked the full $10,000 in Round 4

The one thing I never really hear her say is: "Well, it was _________ who was the weakest link statistically, but it's the votes that count."

I like cornileas speech for goodbye. Its nearly louder than anne robinsons

Quite strong team indeed

10:23 RIP Peter Brock. You legend.

The commercials really make it

21:35 what were you thinking?!?!?

Why does Jacob sound exactly like siri

They had A PERFECT CHAIN of 9 Correct Answers in Round 1!

New Season is coming back to Channel 9 soon

The late host was as good as the UK original show with Ann Robinson. Well done Australia.

this is one of the best teams ive seen on any weakest link $56,000 dollars is over half the prize money i find the host harsh even when they get a good amount at the end of the round she is still unhappy with them unless they get the target and i thought Anne was harsh amazing show

thanks for the upload!! nice to see a full episode for once (and not the mole special) lol

Can someone explain about the X on the clock?

How does answering correctly but not banking any money make you the weakest link? I thought the idea was to create a chain, so you don't want to necessarily bank every time its your turn.

I'm sorry, but this is not a perfect round. a perfect round is when they answer 9 in a row correct and then bank the target.

A Big Career For Her She Also Known As The Voice Of The Tortise On Magic Mountain

Cornelia Francis isn't nearly as scary as I thought she was. Watching Prisoner CBH reruns recently and saw Cornelia play a lawyer. She was absolutely sunningly beautiful and very regal looking. Her acting was excellent.

Cornelia frances passed away from breast cancer 6 years ago

A very strong Final 3.
