As "The Weakest Link" returns to the BBC, we speak with three creatives who've been intimately involved in the highly-successful quiz format. Lynn Sutcliffe (now M.D. of Mighty Productions) explains how she helped develop the initial idea of a week-long holiday competition into an intensive psychological battle. Next, Will Charles explains how the show's iconic lighting design came about, somewhat by accident. Finally, Aaron Solomon explains how he re-evaluated the format for modern audiences in his role of co-exec producer on NBC's version in the US.
