The site keeps viewers up to date with developments abroad

The UK official web site of the Weakest Link is a popular port of call and aims to please both fans of the programme and those considering putting themselves through the embarrassing exercise of appearing as a contestant.

Blue Peter-style

It is packed with a multitude of sections, ranging from the latest news - which invariably looks at countries signing up the show - to more light-hearted takes on the Weakest Link

One highlight is a Blue Peter-style page where fans can print out a picture of Anne Robinson and then follow instructions on how to turn it into a face mask.

Readers who have created the mask and photographed themselves wearing it can then submit the image digitally - where it could well end up in a Mask Gallery featured on the site.

For budding contestants, there's a Behind the Scenes look at what's involved before going in front of Anne for real.

Complete with images, it closely follows a group of contestants - vividly describing their initial nerves as they arrive to playing a practice run of the show and then going on to the actual recording of the programme.

And for those who still haven't been put off after reading about the process, there's an on-line application form with full details of how to get on the show.

The site also includes a section where you can add your own comments on the show and downloadable video footage of a selection of contestants who have experienced the Walk of Shame.

Plus there is a chance to hear some of Anne's ultimate put-downs and send a Weakest Link e-card or download wallpaper for your PC desktop.

The whole ambience of the site reflects the TV show perfectly, with a dark blue background, cold silhouettes of the set and Anne.

Although it's fairly basic graphically and offers little in the way of flash animation, the fact that it comes with an animated Anne Robinson featuring her infamous wink is more than enough to keep admirers happy.
