Strictly's coming to Blackpool. It's going to be the highlight of the

:00:10.:00:15.

year. Blackpool is synonymous with great dancing. The best show coming

:00:16.:00:19.

to the best ballroom in the best town! Strictly! Sets the town alive.

:00:20.:00:26.

It's amazing. Can't believe it. I am so excited. It's landed in

:00:27.:00:32.

Blackpool. The biggest place in the North. This is exciting, I've

:00:33.:00:39.

stepped into the Tower! Oh, my goodness. Welcome to Blackpool.

:00:40.:00:44.

Isn't it amazing? It's actually really beautiful. A little bit of

:00:45.:00:48.

heaven. This is what it's all about. Wow. My goodness, it's amazing. I

:00:49.:00:55.

feel like we have to live up to it. I think we can now. Have you seen

:00:56.:01:01.

George and Giovanni? Are you sure this is the quickest way to Tower

:01:02.:01:04.

Ballroom? Yes. Really? CHEERING AND

:01:05.:01:10.

APPLAUSE Anton! This is far too cold, you

:01:11.:02:20.

need to take it back immediately. This is madness, man.

:02:21.:02:36.

# I've got bills # I gotta pay

:02:37.:02:44.

# So I will work, work, work every day

:02:45.:02:47.

# I got mouths # I gotta feed

:02:48.:02:51.

# So I will make sure everybody eats... #

:02:52.:03:21.

# I got bills # I got bills

:03:22.:03:31.

# # Everybody got bills... #

:03:32.:04:59.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:05:00.:05:16.

Live from Blackpool, the home of ballroom, this is Strictly Come

:05:17.:05:26.

Dancing! Please welcome your hosts; Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman!

:05:27.:05:47.

Welcome live from the beautiful Tower Ballroom!

:05:48.:05:56.

Huge thank you to our entire Strictly cast for that amazing

:05:57.:05:59.

opening number. This week we have a double weekend of dance!

:06:00.:06:03.

Are you ready, Blackpool? CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:06:04.:06:08.

Excellent answer. Last week Jeremy Vine became the seventh star to

:06:09.:06:11.

leave the competition after losing out in the Tansoff to Jamelia. We

:06:12.:06:15.

are left with eight celebrities who've all earned the honour of

:06:16.:06:19.

performing in one of the most prestigious dance venues in the

:06:20.:06:23.

world. It's truly majestic so these four should feel right at home.

:06:24.:06:30.

Please welcome the judges. Len Goodman, Darcey Bussell and

:06:31.:06:33.

Bruno Tonioli! CHEERING AND

:06:34.:06:50.

APPLAUSE The judges, everyone. Hold on a

:06:51.:06:55.

second, we seem to be missing someone. Has anyone seen Craig? Oh,

:06:56.:06:57.

yes. You didn't want Jeremy's brilliant

:06:58.:07:44.

drop to go to waste? No, I kid not. I made full and efficient use of it,

:07:45.:07:48.

darling. Let's ask Jeremy what he thought of that, shall we? Jeremy?

:07:49.:07:58.

Sweet. Craig, everybody! CHEERING AND

:07:59.:08:11.

APPLAUSE Our celebrities are backstage all desperate to dance

:08:12.:08:14.

here so let's not make them wait any longer. Please welcome our Strictly

:08:15.:08:24.

stars! Kellie Bright with Kevin Clifton.

:08:25.:08:44.

Anita Rani. Katie Derham. Georgia May Foote. Jamelia. Peter Andre.

:08:45.:09:01.

Finally, from the Wanted, Jay McGinness.

:09:02.:09:18.

Welcome couples. Just look at our Blackpool eight all dressed up to

:09:19.:09:23.

the nines and hoping for tens. It's a huge achievement to get this far,

:09:24.:09:27.

but sadly for one couple, this weekend will be the end of their

:09:28.:09:31.

journey. So tonight, your votes are more

:09:32.:09:36.

important than ever. They'll be added to the judges' scores to

:09:37.:09:39.

decide which two couples will face each other in the dance-off

:09:40.:09:42.

tomorrow. Opening the Blackpool special tonight is Jay McGinness and

:09:43.:09:45.

his partner Aliona Vilani. They are starting off with a salsa,

:09:46.:09:58.

it's a real party dance, we have got the music, the costumes and all we

:09:59.:10:01.

need now are the guests, hundreds of them. Blackpool, ready to party?

:10:02.:10:08.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE It's a yes! Last Saturday

:10:09.:10:23.

was going smoothly, I thought, I had a hiccup, then the rest of the dance

:10:24.:10:28.

I blanked. So sorry. It wasn't a good evening for you. As soon as you

:10:29.:10:32.

start to dance, your face goes dead, you've got to do something about

:10:33.:10:37.

that. Being third from the bottom of the leaderboard and being left until

:10:38.:10:40.

the last before you are called through is definitely a horrible

:10:41.:10:43.

feeling. I don't want to be there again. This week Jay and I are

:10:44.:10:49.

dancing a salsa. Now, that has to be focussing on Jay getting into the

:10:50.:10:52.

character of the dance and so hopefully his body will be feeling

:10:53.:10:56.

the vibe and that will help the face. Facial expression-wise, the

:10:57.:11:01.

judges will be looking to make sure I'm happy. That's it, good. Keeping

:11:02.:11:06.

in with the theme of the salsa and the South American vibe, we are

:11:07.:11:11.

going to be in sunny Blackpool. Because the Tower Ballroom is such a

:11:12.:11:15.

massive room, our energy has to be that much bigger when we perform.

:11:16.:11:20.

Smiles for everyone. Yes. No-one's going home without a smile. That's

:11:21.:11:24.

right. Very excited to see the ballroom. Can't wait to see what it

:11:25.:11:29.

looks like on the inside. Wow, this is incredible. I think the

:11:30.:11:33.

pressure's definitely on to match the level of the venue that you're

:11:34.:11:36.

at. I just hope I can bring all the energy that I need to fill the space

:11:37.:11:41.

and hopefully the judges, Craig in particular, are happy with my face.

:11:42.:11:49.

Dancing the salsa, Jay McGuinness and Aliona Vilani.

:11:50.:12:39.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:12:40.:13:46.

Thank you. How about that for an audience'

:13:47.:13:58.

reaction. I saw that smile light up your face, how did it feel? Really

:13:59.:14:04.

nice. You look beautiful. Bless you, you're so sweet. I want you to take

:14:05.:14:11.

it all in, soak up the atmosphere. A warm northern welcome to our band!

:14:12.:14:19.

There they go. Brilliant job. Len, did they bring

:14:20.:14:24.

Cuba to Blackpool? I brought everything. There's no end to your

:14:25.:14:28.

talent, I didn't know you could make Blackpool rock! Just in the

:14:29.:14:34.

atmosphere, yes! You really got the party started and I'll tell you,

:14:35.:14:38.

I've been waiting since week three's jive to see anything as good and

:14:39.:14:42.

you've just shown it to me. Well done!

:14:43.:14:50.

Did they make you want to get up and get down? Oh, yes, get up and get

:14:51.:15:00.

down, stick it in Top Gear and loins on fire! Don't you feel a heatwave

:15:01.:15:06.

starting? Tonight is going to be hot and you started it very well. One

:15:07.:15:11.

thing that I think is remarkable, you blended with the professionals

:15:12.:15:18.

so well, it was indistinguishable. That last lift though, there was a

:15:19.:15:23.

slight moment I felt fearful. Maybe it was my angle. Did you do your

:15:24.:15:37.

back in? No. It was great. Craig, did that make you smile? I

:15:38.:15:41.

thought the choreography was very good. I loved your hip action

:15:42.:15:46.

throughout. It had a wonderful fluidity. I loved the way you were

:15:47.:15:51.

spotting through the Gypsy terms. That was brilliant. I adored the

:15:52.:15:54.

list. That was dangerous and brilliant. Finally, we are seeing

:15:55.:16:00.

some facial expressions. CHEERING

:16:01.:16:07.

Finally! Darcey? For me you warmed up the ballroom but you also warmed

:16:08.:16:17.

me up, thank you very much. What was brilliant you were flirting with

:16:18.:16:20.

Aliona from the beginning and you kept it to the end. The boys have

:16:21.:16:29.

said it, your natural hip action. It was fantastic.

:16:30.:16:36.

The judges loved it, we loved it. Go and join Claudia.

:16:37.:16:52.

They said just as good as the jive, they had not seen anything as good

:16:53.:16:59.

as that on week three, dangerous lifts, you must be over the moon?

:17:00.:17:07.

Yes. Sorry, I feel very good. You always apologise to me afterwards.

:17:08.:17:15.

The comments were amazing. For those watching at home, we talk about

:17:16.:17:18.

Blackpool and say how much we love it. Aliona, can you put it into

:17:19.:17:23.

words, the atmosphere in the ballroom? To ten times more because

:17:24.:17:30.

of the audience. Good luck, the scores are in!

:17:31.:17:52.

You must be really happy with that. Yes, I had so much fun, that was

:17:53.:18:00.

brilliant. If you liked that routine and I can

:18:01.:18:03.

confirm that Blackpool has been twinned with Havana then call...

:18:04.:18:19.

It is time for the terms and conditions. I'm thinking Cuba,

:18:20.:18:23.

Carnival and Congo. -- conga. I am getting in. Our next couple is

:18:24.:18:50.

Jamelia and her partner Tristan MacManus.

:18:51.:18:53.

CHEERING Tonight, they are doing the

:18:54.:18:57.

quickstep and they will be playing the part of a pair of dolls dancing

:18:58.:19:02.

in front of a joint dolls house. It is a great routine and I am sure

:19:03.:19:08.

they are going to raise the roof. On Saturday night, I was really

:19:09.:19:12.

happy with how it went. The dry was excellent. Tristan and I were in the

:19:13.:19:21.

dance-off. After the fourth one, it does take its toll. It is horrible.

:19:22.:19:27.

Blackpool for me is huge milestone. It is a great achievement.

:19:28.:19:33.

This week we are dancing the quickstep. It is a great dance. I

:19:34.:19:39.

have a little surprise for you. It will be a fun day out.

:19:40.:19:42.

For the start of our dance we are going to be dolls in boxes. I

:19:43.:19:46.

thought it would be a great idea to bring you here and get some

:19:47.:19:51.

inspiration from the wax figures. That looks exactly like Britney

:19:52.:19:55.

Spears. How ballooned would it be to have a waxwork made a view? Funnily

:19:56.:20:01.

enough, I have organised it to see if people will believe you are an

:20:02.:20:05.

actual wax figure. We will put it to the test to see if she can be

:20:06.:20:19.

convincing dole. She looked so real! She can 100% be convincing as a

:20:20.:20:24.

doll. Now it is time to get back into the

:20:25.:20:31.

rehearsal. For the first part of the routine we are per dolls inboxes.

:20:32.:20:36.

Going to the waxworks helped. I am definitely looking forward to

:20:37.:20:41.

getting into character. Dancing the quickstep, Jamelia and

:20:42.:20:42.

Tristan MacManus. Jamelia and chest in! -- Tristan.

:20:43.:22:46.

Our beautiful dancing dolls. You need double the stamina to quickstep

:22:47.:22:55.

across the floor. Bruno? I believe the new totally! I tell you, that

:22:56.:23:02.

was a quickstep of great content and beautiful packaging. Look at you all

:23:03.:23:08.

told up. So nice. I can really see you worked a lot on your footwork

:23:09.:23:15.

and it really showed. But now, now that you get the lower regions

:23:16.:23:19.

sorted, still there are some problems with the frame. You have it

:23:20.:23:23.

but then you tend to lose it when you get into the runs. Nothing here

:23:24.:23:31.

moves, my darling. Nothing moves. You should be absolutely still. But

:23:32.:23:35.

much, much better on the footwork. Well done. Thank you. Craig, can

:23:36.:23:45.

they avoid a fifth dance-off? No, they can't really. I agree that you

:23:46.:23:51.

need to have more stillness in your top lines. The underarm turns are

:23:52.:23:56.

still problematic. You lost body contact throughout the whole thing.

:23:57.:24:07.

Booing. Oh, be quiet, honestly! Your ballroom has come a long way.

:24:08.:24:12.

That is what we like to hear. Darcey? Jamelia, well done. You came

:24:13.:24:20.

out with the intent and energy and you travelled. There was not one

:24:21.:24:25.

mistake. Very important. There is a combination of steps which Tristan

:24:26.:24:30.

gave you was very difficult and you kept it going from the beginning to

:24:31.:24:35.

the end. You should be very proud. It is your best ballroom, very

:24:36.:24:37.

impressive. CHEERING

:24:38.:24:45.

Then, would you agree? I am totally a believer. For all the

:24:46.:24:49.

non-believers, you have got to look at the quickstep. You deserve 100%

:24:50.:24:54.

to be here in Blackpool. You are like one of the clowns out the

:24:55.:24:59.

front, you just keep rolling along. As for the quickstep, fantastic, a

:25:00.:25:06.

great job. It was fabulous! Your best ballroom, well done, my

:25:07.:25:11.

darling, off you go. Jamelia and Tristan!

:25:12.:25:17.

I know, your little face! At first, you were a bit like that and then

:25:18.:25:31.

they said your best ballroom, your brilliant, you deserve to be here.

:25:32.:25:39.

You wanted to get to Blackpool, did you enjoy it? I'm really glad that

:25:40.:25:43.

I'm here and I got to share it with everyone. You loved the quickstep? I

:25:44.:25:52.

absolutely loved it. I think I read myself off when it came to ballroom

:25:53.:25:57.

but then I loved it. And performing in Blackpool! OK, the scores are in.

:25:58.:26:20.

That is good! Are you going to cry? You can have a cry. If you thought

:26:21.:26:28.

that was a dolly good routine, please call...

:26:29.:26:39.

Still to come, Katy dances in feathers. It was something which

:26:40.:26:42.

tickled her fancy. Tests. Tess.

:26:43.:27:00.

Our next dances are Anita Rani and Gleb Savchenko. Everything we train

:27:01.:27:09.

for, it all came together on Saturday night. Blackpool is calling

:27:10.:27:15.

your name! Blackpool is a milestone. I have never performed in

:27:16.:27:24.

the Tower ballroom. I'm so excited and so ecstatic. I'm taking Gleb to

:27:25.:27:32.

Blackpool. It is week nine and we are doing the paso doble. Did you go

:27:33.:27:41.

there a lot? It has a special place in my heart. Welcome to sunny

:27:42.:27:45.

Blackpool. First things first, fish and chips. Tell me what you think.

:27:46.:27:51.

Good? I underestimated just how good it would feel to be in Blackpool. We

:27:52.:27:55.

are at the pleasure Beach. I have been coming here since I was tiny.

:27:56.:28:05.

Happy memories! I have this photo. This is exactly the same. When he

:28:06.:28:10.

brought out that photograph of me as a tiny tot in Blackpool, I cannot

:28:11.:28:15.

believe this is where I have got to. There it is, the Tower ballroom. It

:28:16.:28:20.

is incredible. I have so many childhood memories of this place and

:28:21.:28:25.

it feels really special. I'm going to have another amazing memory in

:28:26.:28:26.

there. APPLAUSE

:28:27.:30:35.

They're on their feet in Blackpool. Incredible. What a reaction from the

:30:36.:30:44.

audience. Anita, you brought the ballroom to

:30:45.:31:17.

Blackpool, no doubt about that. Drama, character-driven. Total

:31:18.:31:23.

theatre, right up my street. Magnificent!

:31:24.:31:33.

APPLAUSE Darcey, they have consistently dominated throughout

:31:34.:31:40.

this competition. You know, it was forceful and you had the intent and

:31:41.:31:45.

it was actually beautifully classy, you know. The detail of your

:31:46.:31:53.

arm-ography. Even how you used your fingers to accentuate the style,

:31:54.:31:57.

that is so unusual with all that power you have. Very difficult to

:31:58.:32:01.

shine with the four large torsos around you, yes, but you did! You

:32:02.:32:12.

shone like oh, beautiful. You can't get more dramatic than that can you,

:32:13.:32:17.

Len, what did you think? Full of drama, you turned the ballroom into

:32:18.:32:24.

a Bullring, absolutely. Your arms were fantastic, it had mood, it had

:32:25.:32:27.

passion, it was fantastic. Well done.

:32:28.:32:31.

Bruno? One thing is for sure, this was not a Paso Doble for

:32:32.:32:39.

vegetarians! I never seen so much prime beef in such splendid display!

:32:40.:32:45.

And you handled it, darling, like really the mistress of the arena,

:32:46.:32:49.

you were commanding the proceeding, you were in the centre of the

:32:50.:32:53.

action, you really embodied the heart and soul of Spain! Ole!

:32:54.:33:03.

They loved it and so did we. That was phenomenal. Off you go. Adios,

:33:04.:33:07.

Anita and Gleb! How magical must that be for you,

:33:08.:33:22.

because we saw before your parents spent their honeymoon here and here

:33:23.:33:26.

they are tonight enjoying a second one. Yes, they are, hello mum and

:33:27.:33:30.

dad! Watching their little girl dance like that and get those

:33:31.:33:34.

comments, does it feel quite emotional? It really does,

:33:35.:33:37.

especially seeing them. This is my mum's dream and she said, it's just

:33:38.:33:42.

so much better seeing her daughter fulfilling it than if she was doing

:33:43.:33:50.

it herself. Amazing. I'm having the time of my life. I can't believe

:33:51.:33:54.

what we are doing together, Gleb, it's incredible, thank you, thank

:33:55.:33:57.

you. It was really wonderful to watch. The scores are in.

:33:58.:34:17.

37! Gleb, you must be unbelievably proud? I'm so proud, so proud, this

:34:18.:34:27.

is my favourite dance and to get a first 10. Huge congratulations.

:34:28.:34:34.

If you enjoyed Anita dancing with men in black sticky tape, call: You

:34:35.:34:46.

can vote online free of charge when the vote opens later. It was

:34:47.:34:51.

fantastic. I loved it, thank you. Coming up later, Georgia sits on a

:34:52.:34:55.

croissant, my mistake, it was a Crescent moon. You know what I mean.

:34:56.:35:03.

Easily done. Tess? Up next it's Katie Derham and her

:35:04.:35:09.

partner Anton Du Beke. Since the series began, Katie's had more ups

:35:10.:35:14.

and downs with the judges than the Big One, but this week she's hoping

:35:15.:35:18.

it won't be a bumpy ride for her American Smooth.

:35:19.:35:23.

Last Saturday was great. I decided I wasn't going to let nerves spoil my

:35:24.:35:27.

enjoyment of dancing on Strictly Come Dancing. Some say rumba, some

:35:28.:35:39.

say "roomba", I say fantastic! Thrilled you were able to pull it

:35:40.:35:45.

off in such a dramatic way. I was delighted for Katie. So we are doing

:35:46.:35:49.

the American Smooth to, ain't that a kick in the head. Top hat and cane

:35:50.:35:54.

naturally. It's Blackpool! Because our routine is Fred and Ginger, it

:35:55.:35:58.

would be lovely for Erin to come down because we have been doing that

:35:59.:36:04.

number for years. Hello... Today I met Erin who's been dancing with

:36:05.:36:08.

Anton for 20 years. It was a thrill to be able to get some really good

:36:09.:36:13.

tips for the American Smooth. You have to drape from here all the way

:36:14.:36:17.

around there. There you go. Personal advice from her about this dance.

:36:18.:36:22.

The American Smooth is a classy, sophisticated, elegant dance, which

:36:23.:36:25.

you are. I know that Anton really wants you to enjoy this experience

:36:26.:36:30.

and he cares about you guys as a partnership and he thinks you're

:36:31.:36:35.

great. It was lovely to see Erin, she's got a baby at home and she

:36:36.:36:41.

spared the time. I feel really inspired.

:36:42.:36:49.

Dancing the American Smooth, cater Derham. -- Katie Derham and Anton Du

:36:50.:37:02.

Beke. MUSIC:

:37:03.:37:09.

Ain't that a Kick in the Head... CHEERING AND

:37:10.:38:38.

APPLAUSE That went down a storm.

:38:39.:39:01.

Come on over. The perfect routine for the home of ballroom. Beautiful

:39:02.:39:05.

and elegant, just like you, Katie. Thank you. Did you get a kick out of

:39:06.:39:12.

that, Darcey? Katie, that was exquisite, it really was. You had

:39:13.:39:19.

such lure, film star-style from beginning to end again.

:39:20.:39:25.

APPLAUSE I think you have really found and understood, I would only

:39:26.:39:29.

say there's slight things in the transitions, if you could find a

:39:30.:39:32.

still moment, just to smooth those out because that's just where you

:39:33.:39:36.

get a little jittery and trying to find your spot again just as you

:39:37.:39:39.

change, but plenty of wow factor, thank you.

:39:40.:39:47.

APPLAUSE Thank you. Something tells me our head ballroom boy loved every

:39:48.:39:51.

minute of that. I saw his face, am I right, Len? Well, it was better than

:39:52.:39:56.

a kick in the head and you didn't need a kick up theer... Backside.

:39:57.:40:00.

You merely came out and performed it. It was a fitting dance for this

:40:01.:40:05.

wonderful ballroom. Elegant, glamour and sophistication. Well done!

:40:06.:40:10.

It's your best dance, no question. Oh, thank you.

:40:11.:40:15.

Your best dance. Bruno, was it smooth enough for you? What an

:40:16.:40:19.

amazing welcome to the Temple of Ballroom.

:40:20.:40:21.

APPLAUSE I tell you, Blackpool brings the

:40:22.:40:26.

best out of people because stylistically, it was impeccable, it

:40:27.:40:30.

was like a tribute to the great dancing Queens of the Hollywood

:40:31.:40:35.

golden days, a bit of Ginger Rogers, Rita hey worth, just amazing, and in

:40:36.:40:42.

hold, you are absolutely fantastic. You drove her around beautifully and

:40:43.:40:52.

you look like a dream. Thank you. Craig, finish us off, my darling? It

:40:53.:40:56.

had the elegance we expect and we know that is your forte actually,

:40:57.:41:01.

but sometimes out of the lifts you looked a little lost. You must know

:41:02.:41:05.

exactly what direction that you are going to go for. There was a wobble

:41:06.:41:10.

over here before that turning lift and when you came out of that lift

:41:11.:41:14.

and went into the section with the boys, there was a big old mix-up of

:41:15.:41:17.

what direction you were meant to go in when you got back to centre. If

:41:18.:41:23.

you can sort those out darling, absolutely gorgeous!

:41:24.:41:28.

APPLAUSE Gorgeous, the pair of you. Off you

:41:29.:41:30.

go, you smoothies. Katie and Anton! They loved it. Your face while Craig

:41:31.:41:50.

was speaking was like... I was waiting to hear what he said. Did

:41:51.:41:54.

you like that? Loved it. The most wonderful dance. To perform this

:41:55.:41:58.

dance here with Anton who does know Blackpool pretty well... And the

:41:59.:42:03.

ballroom. Indeed. And I imagine sneaks in the hat? I comes with me

:42:04.:42:09.

wherever I go. Makes me look sort of younger don't you think. Already

:42:10.:42:13.

reduced my age by months. At least! Scores are in.

:42:14.:42:34.

APPLAUSE Your highest score. My goodness.

:42:35.:42:48.

Even Fuad up all your other scores... From other years.

:42:49.:42:52.

Congratulations. Delighted, thank you.

:42:53.:43:01.

That six is up side down! APPLAUSE

:43:02.:43:04.

:43:25.:43:29.

Blackpool, can we come again? We have all of this still to come.

:43:30.:43:35.

A bigger ballroom. That's going to be quite a shock to the system that

:43:36.:43:38.

we are going to fly down this ballroom floor. The jive's

:43:39.:43:42.

fast-paced which I love, but there's a lot of footwork. It's going to

:43:43.:43:48.

take me some time. To be able to do a Viennese waltz around the

:43:49.:43:51.

Blackpool Tower ballroom sin credible.

:43:52.:43:57.

There's loads of lifts, up side down, up and around. So much fun.

:43:58.:44:01.

I cannot wait to see all of that! Why have we got all these male

:44:02.:44:09.

dancers lined up? Good question. I want to try out my Kiss Me Quick

:44:10.:44:17.

hat. I think it might be broken! That'll

:44:18.:44:25.

be it Claud. Gleb, I'm going to fix it. Our next couple is Peter Andre

:44:26.:44:34.

and Janet Manrara. They are doing a jive set in a 1960ses TV studio and

:44:35.:44:40.

it will be just like TVs studio instead of black-and-white, we'll

:44:41.:44:43.

have colour, instead of standard we'll have HD and instead of Skippy,

:44:44.:44:47.

the kangaroo, we'll have Peter Andre!

:44:48.:44:57.

I would never have expected my second highest score of the season

:44:58.:45:03.

on a Viennese waltz. It was wonderful. We made Blackpool. The

:45:04.:45:08.

joy on Janette's face made me even more happy. We macro I cannot wait

:45:09.:45:13.

to dance on that floor. This week we're doing a drive and it is 60s

:45:14.:45:18.

theme inspired. Wouldn't it be amazing if we could travel back in

:45:19.:45:23.

time and visit the 60s? Funny you should say that, I built us a time

:45:24.:45:32.

machine. It is impossible... Today we have special guests from 2015, it

:45:33.:45:37.

is only Peter and Janette! I love the hair. This is a great

:45:38.:45:51.

competition. What are you dancing to? River deep, Mountain high. It is

:45:52.:46:05.

a classic. It is almost brand-new. I am loving it, loving it.

:46:06.:46:09.

We would love to see some of the routine.

:46:10.:46:15.

Dancing the jive, Peter Andre and Janette Manrara!

:46:16.:46:38.

Come on over if you have any energy left!

:46:39.:48:29.

No wonder the 60s were swinging! Len, would you tune in for that?

:48:30.:48:36.

Yes, of course I would. It is always lovely to see you dance, Peter.

:48:37.:48:41.

Lights, camera and plenty of action! I must say, I am out of breath

:48:42.:48:46.

watching it. To be honest, it was not your finest. Your hands kept

:48:47.:48:51.

going very wide and especially on the pivot. I'm starting to sound

:48:52.:49:00.

like it is terrible and it wasn't. All in all, action packed and full

:49:01.:49:07.

on, well done! Bruno, what did you think? It easy as, energy,

:49:08.:49:13.

performance level, top of the Pops! But I say, you have to be careful, I

:49:14.:49:19.

tell you before, because of all that energy ended his ears, you tend to

:49:20.:49:24.

lose the style of the dance. Kicks and flicks in the jive. That's what

:49:25.:49:30.

we are looking at. Then you tend to get your weight backwards because

:49:31.:49:34.

you are doing the top thing which we love, but then you lose in the jive,

:49:35.:49:39.

my darling. I told you before, you have to combine the two. Don't lose

:49:40.:49:43.

all that wonderful energy that it has to be recognisable as the jive

:49:44.:49:51.

as well. Yes! Gray, we have had some strong jive is the series. How did

:49:52.:49:58.

it compare? -- Craig. I'm afraid it fell to the bottom. It was

:49:59.:50:03.

flat-footed, heavy and the kicks looked very, very odd. There was a

:50:04.:50:08.

lack of attraction in all of them. Your weight was in the wrong place

:50:09.:50:16.

sometimes in the ball changes. It was quite strange. But I have to say

:50:17.:50:18.

your commitment and your energy to dance is the nominal.

:50:19.:50:27.

The commitment, Darcey? It is fast and furious. I have to say, that may

:50:28.:50:32.

the bounce of this dance floor and ballroom might have ricocheted. Your

:50:33.:50:36.

weight did get really far back but you were in your element when you on

:50:37.:50:40.

the stairs. There were images of Bruneau dancing up there. The truth

:50:41.:50:46.

is, I got some of it wrong, but I did have a great time. We had a

:50:47.:50:53.

ball, didn't we? In the ballroom. You got this ballroom bouncing. The

:50:54.:50:57.

flaw was bouncing, so were they and so were we, ladies and gentlemen?

:50:58.:51:04.

Thank you, judges. Off you go to see Claudia, Peter and Janette!

:51:05.:51:16.

You found the jive quite difficult? Yes, but it is great because we are

:51:17.:51:23.

learning new techniques. I will get my breath back in a minute! You had

:51:24.:51:28.

enormous fun. We loved it here. Last week you were joint second, the week

:51:29.:51:34.

before you were top, then is it hard getting comments like that from the

:51:35.:51:39.

judges? No. We had a blast. We had the time of our lives in this

:51:40.:51:44.

beautiful ballroom. It is amazing, so it is fine. And I have had weeks

:51:45.:51:50.

when I have been so good and you cannot expect always have a great

:51:51.:51:58.

week, so this is good for me. A great dance. The scores are in.

:51:59.:52:16.

Such different scores. Do you know what I love about you? Anyone else

:52:17.:52:25.

who had just got a 6, bet you were like, that is fine, the man has an

:52:26.:52:30.

opinion. If you like Peter and Janette, called...

:52:31.:52:38.

Still to come later, five Helen Georges. If you find the real one,

:52:39.:52:46.

you win a coconut. That is a fact. Tess. Performing

:52:47.:52:57.

next is Georgia May Foote and her partner Giovanni Pernice. Lastly,

:52:58.:53:01.

Georgia got the highest score of the series. 39 for that unforgettable

:53:02.:53:08.

routine. Can she do it again tonight? Let's ask the audience.

:53:09.:53:15.

Ladies and gentlemen, what you? Yes! She is dancing and American smooth.

:53:16.:53:21.

Let's hope our Northern Star shines brighter than ever. Come on,

:53:22.:53:27.

Georgia! Last Saturday night was amazing. I

:53:28.:53:33.

could not believe it! Darcey was so excited. That is how it makes me

:53:34.:53:38.

feel! This week we're doing a Viennese

:53:39.:53:56.

waltz American smooth to I Kay-macro have paracrine nothing by Whitney

:53:57.:53:57.

Houston. Now we are dancing he will not stop.

:53:58.:54:16.

To be honest, I have no idea why Georgia does not like my singing. It

:54:17.:54:23.

is a bit too much so I am going to take into some karaoke to get it out

:54:24.:54:30.

of his system once and for all. I was born to be a singer. Not a

:54:31.:54:39.

dance, come on! I think personally, coming here today is a belt in idea.

:54:40.:54:47.

Now it is time to get back to rehearsals and hope we may let on

:54:48.:54:50.

Saturday. Dancing the American smooth, Georgia

:54:51.:54:54.

May Foote and Giovanni Pernice. MUSIC: I Have Nothing

:54:55.:55:26.

by Whitney Houston How about that, ladies and

:55:27.:56:55.

gentlemen? Twinkle, twinkle, Little Star! That was beautiful. Bruneau,

:56:56.:57:03.

where you are over the moon with that? You, heavenly creature! I

:57:04.:57:12.

think I am experiencing, as we all do, pure ballroom Blitz! -- bliss.

:57:13.:57:27.

Your arms were like water. It was fantastic, my dear. There was a

:57:28.:57:32.

small miss timing in the lift but I am going to wash over that. It was

:57:33.:57:40.

my dress. The same thing happened to me the other night, my darling. It

:57:41.:57:48.

was fantastic! Fantastic. Parsley, last week you gave Georgia ten. How

:57:49.:57:57.

does this we compare? You are so graceful, I will have to call you

:57:58.:58:00.

graceful Georgia. You are gliding through this competition, well done!

:58:01.:58:08.

Len, last week she topped the Leader Board, can she do the same this

:58:09.:58:14.

week? With this storm last night and you're dancing tonight, that is

:58:15.:58:17.

twice I have been blown away in Blackpool. That was a brilliant,

:58:18.:58:29.

brilliant dance! Thank you, judges. They wowed us all again. You have

:58:30.:58:35.

done it again. New go! Go and see Claudia. Well done, Georgia and

:58:36.:58:39.

Giovanni. # Love me, love me, if I don't

:58:40.:58:58.

have... We have all loved your singing. To

:58:59.:59:06.

be here is a dream country. And your grandma is here? Yes, Granma! And my

:59:07.:59:13.

dad! And I believe those are your great-grandmother's earrings? Yes,

:59:14.:59:18.

she used to do some ballroom dancing and her brooch. I am honoured to

:59:19.:59:20.

wear it today. The scores are in. time in Blackpool. Last week you

:59:21.:59:56.

told me it would be a bit like Sicily. It's even better than that.

:59:57.:00:01.

Yes. You don't get tens there. If that routine made your night, please

:00:02.:00:03.

call: You can vote for free online when

:00:04.:00:15.

the vote opens later. I think I'm going to cry... People do that,

:00:16.:00:22.

people do that. Still to come, Kellie dances with a

:00:23.:00:27.

stationery man who works in an office, he doesn't just stand there,

:00:28.:00:34.

you see what I did there. Tess. Our next couple is Helen George and her

:00:35.:00:37.

partner Aljaz Skorjanec. Over the seen e series, it's become

:00:38.:00:48.

clear these two have great chemistry. Aljaz has been saying,

:00:49.:00:53.

what can be better than having Helen George as a partner, well, Aljaz,

:00:54.:00:59.

how about a few Helens? I loved last Saturday, it was

:01:00.:01:03.

brilliant getting to do a dance that was aggressive and fierce. I'm

:01:04.:01:08.

enormously proud of Helen. She delivered an incredible performance.

:01:09.:01:11.

Such a great tango, well done both of you. Loved it. Really pleased to

:01:12.:01:19.

be second, it's a really tough competition. We are going to

:01:20.:01:23.

Blackpool. Brilliant. It's amazing. This week we are doing the

:01:24.:01:28.

charleston, definitely the most difficult choreography we have done.

:01:29.:01:31.

It's difficult this week. I know we are going to have some backing

:01:32.:01:35.

dancers this week and the idea is, they are meant to look exactly like

:01:36.:01:39.

me so I thought I would invite some people along. It's a great idea.

:01:40.:01:45.

Brilliant. Aljaz, meet Helen, Helen and Helen. I have my work cut out

:01:46.:01:54.

with one Helen so I have no idea what I'm goes ... Going to do with

:01:55.:02:03.

four. You need to be precise... Helen three, please focus. That's

:02:04.:02:08.

three. I'm one. This isn't going well at all. Can I please get a car

:02:09.:02:19.

to Blackpool. Argh... Go, go, drive, drive, Blackpool. Poor Aljaz, I

:02:20.:02:29.

think we might have broken him. Dancing the charleston, Helen George

:02:30.:02:30.

and Aljaz Skorjanec. MUSIC:

:02:31.:02:54.

Anything Goes... CHEERING AND

:02:55.:04:20.

APPLAUSE I'm surprised you have any energy

:04:21.:04:42.

left after that. You are the real Helen, yes. I'm the real Helen.

:04:43.:04:48.

Thank you so much to our wonderful dancers because they worked so hard

:04:49.:04:52.

to get that routine. Brilliant routine. There might have been loads

:04:53.:04:56.

of Helens, but only one set of scores. Let's talk to Craig, you

:04:57.:05:02.

know about charleston which is fun. That lacks a bit of quirk for me.

:05:03.:05:07.

Needs to be messed up a bit. A little too controlled. This dance

:05:08.:05:10.

should go mad and wild and you can look ugly in it, you know, it's one

:05:11.:05:14.

of the dances that you can actually get away with that. Darcey doesn't

:05:15.:05:20.

agree. For production values, you are an absolutely brilliant dancer.

:05:21.:05:24.

Are you saluting that army of Helens? For me, I disagree with what

:05:25.:05:29.

he said. It was one classy charleston. You created the coin

:05:30.:05:35.

addition with your lines with precision, mirroring each other, the

:05:36.:05:38.

sequence during the wings and everything. Loved it. Thank you,

:05:39.:05:47.

Darcey. Did you, Len? Yes, I did. Full of vim and vigour. A tad too

:05:48.:05:51.

much side by side. I would have liked a little more content in hold

:05:52.:05:57.

or together, but other than that, as always, a wonderful polished

:05:58.:05:59.

performance. Thanks, Len.

:06:00.:06:05.

Bruno? Sassy, glam, glitzy, it was like watching one of those

:06:06.:06:09.

show-stopping numbers on Broadway and you really perform it perfectly

:06:10.:06:16.

I think. You've got the style, you were so clean and precise. From my

:06:17.:06:21.

angle did you go on the wrong foot? No, I tripped... No, no, no, no...

:06:22.:06:28.

...En Don't apologise. That move all of a sudden. Listen, don't worry

:06:29.:06:33.

because I tell you you will go a long way, you are a brilliant,

:06:34.:06:39.

brilliant dancer. Thank you. Precise and polished. He loved it. Go and

:06:40.:06:44.

sea the one and only Claudia. Helen and Aljaz.

:06:45.:06:46.

APPLAUSE Well done. You enjoyed it didn't

:06:47.:06:58.

you? I loved it. It was so nice to go out there and do a completely

:06:59.:07:01.

different style and try and forget about the steps for a second and

:07:02.:07:03.

just perform it. The scores are in. Are you relieved? Yes, I didn't want

:07:04.:07:36.

any sixes. If you enjoyed this dance, please call:

:07:37.:07:46.

Remember, you can find us on Facebook, on Twitter, on the

:07:47.:07:51.

website. Tess.

:07:52.:07:59.

Time for our final couple, Kellie Bright and her partner Kevin

:08:00.:08:00.

Clifton. They are doing a quickstep set in an

:08:01.:08:11.

office to a Dolly Parton classic, never mind Nine To Five, it's a

:08:12.:08:16.

routine they have been working night and day on and they are hoping it

:08:17.:08:19.

will get them promotion to the top of the leaderboard.

:08:20.:08:22.

Last Saturday, it was a bit overwhelming. When Craig gave us

:08:23.:08:34.

that nine... Nine! I felt very emotional. It was a great feeling.

:08:35.:08:43.

This week we have got quickstep. Yes, we do. So I thought maybe you

:08:44.:08:48.

would like to see people doing it in Blackpool. Love it! This is what

:08:49.:08:54.

I've done all my life. The Championships last weekend. I would

:08:55.:09:00.

love to go and see that. So Kevin takes Kellie to the Winter Gardens

:09:01.:09:04.

to give her a taste of where he started out. I could tell Kevin was

:09:05.:09:09.

moved by it. One of the most important and special places and it

:09:10.:09:12.

brings back loads of memories for me. I won four British Championships

:09:13.:09:17.

here but haven't been here since the day I finished competing. Wow.

:09:18.:09:22.

Watching all those couples move around the dance floor at the same

:09:23.:09:26.

time going so fast, looking so effortless, it was amazing, it was

:09:27.:09:31.

incredible to watch. We are going off training now to use what we have

:09:32.:09:35.

seen today and hopefully we can make our quickstep the best it can be.

:09:36.:09:40.

:11:23.:11:38.

That's what I call an office routine! Look at that! Soak it all

:11:39.:11:50.

up. Let us see what the bosses thought. Darcey? You made that look

:11:51.:11:55.

like one easy day at work, darling, that was fabulous. Seamlessly danced

:11:56.:12:02.

that. For me, it was a wonderful dance to finish a wonderful night.

:12:03.:12:07.

Oh, thank you. Thank you. If you can file that under B for brilliant...

:12:08.:12:15.

That's all. Another outstanding performance in a night of dancing

:12:16.:12:20.

the light, well done! Thank you, Bruno. Do you agree, was that a

:12:21.:12:25.

fitting finale for Blackpool, Craig? Tight, clean, I loved it.

:12:26.:12:34.

Thank you judges. You go and join the office party with Claudia. Great

:12:35.:12:36.

job, Kellie and Kevin. What a way to close it. What a way

:12:37.:12:51.

Right. Ladies and gentlemen, the judges
