"The Weakest Link". Anne Robinson is small "wee". Robison is a popular Scottish surname and she certainly reigns supreme in the show. She has recently turned sixty. Am I right?

Hi, I good suggestion but we have already had the weakest link as an answer. The clue for it was - a chain is only a strong as ??

Not "The Royal"? It's set in the 60s isn't it!?

Not really a link to "our wee Queen" though I concede.

I'm stuck trying to find the significance of the ' before the 60.
