Week 3 Strictly Come Dancing

Last week there were successes. Fantastic. And setbacks. Anastacia

and Brendan cannot perform again. As we said goodbye to our first

celebrity. The couple with the fewest number of viewer votes,

Melvin and Jeannette. This weekly's Movie Week and the stars are lining

up to tell us all about their latest blockbuster. Who was your

inspiration? Elizabeth Taylor... Well, Liz. How did you prepare for

the role? I did a lot of fishing. Spending quite a lot of time with my

toy panda. I asked for a skinny try mocha Geno. I imagine myself as a

monkey. Silly sausage, silly sausage. What can we expect? I wait

I perform, I am. Oscars. Right, let's have a look at this...

Your votes will be added to the judges' scores to decide

So let's get started - Opening the show tonight

is is Daisy Lowe and her partner Aljaz Skorjanec.

APPLAUSE CHEERING

This week Daisy's doing a Quickstep to "A Spoonful

of Sugar" from Mary Poppins - and if the last two weeks

are anything to go by, this routine could be

It was the first elimination week, how did you find Saturday night? I

was so scared, but when I got to dancing I actually really enjoyed

it. Got a little bone to pick with you. We did an illegal lift. Both

feet came off the ground, that was the ground. He's right, we did it.

This week Daisy at Aljaz are dancing the quick step to a song for Mary

Poppins. I got you a present so we can get into character. Thank you.

You're welcome, Mary Poppins. I hope your choreography is better than

your Dick Van Dyke. It really messy... Lets see if this Mary

Poppins thing really works. The quickstep as a dance is so fast,

there are so many steps. I lost it completely. But it is really fun.

Mary Poppins has magical powers. But for Daisy I want to take those

magical powers and put them into dancing powers. Good... I'm good.

I've had such a giggle learning the quickstep I hope it'll be all right

on the night. It's going to be practically perfect every way.

Dancing the Quickstep from the movie Mary Poppins,

APPLAUSE CHEERING

Yes! Well done, Daisy at Aljaz. You make the perfect Mary Poppins.

While you two catch your breath let's

welcome our fabulous live singers Hayley, Lance, Andrea,

Tommy and of course Dave Arch and his brilliant orchestra.

Well done, what an opener. Is Daisy proving to be consistent? She

certainly is. I've got to say, you pulled a lot of stuff out of that

bag and you pulled out all the stops on that quickstep. You really did.

In the quickstep you look for three things, hold, posture, movement.

Lovely hold, great posture, and gorgeous movement down the floor.

Well done. CHEERING Round the whole floor. Bruno. I

think Tess got it right earlier on. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Daisy! It had such a supreme elegance. It's like Mary Poppins

that has been redesigned by Christian Dior. Beautiful to look

at. And so light on your feet, like you were floating on air. It sent me

on cloud nine. Wonderful. How about you, Craig? I thought the charleston

section is needed to be a little more precise and delivered with a

lighter touch, I thought they were a little bit heavy. BOOING

. Your left shoulder was raised by millimetres, twice. I thought you

followed Aljaz's lead brilliantly and you danced so well together.

Wonderful to see. I love it when he ends on a positive. It was the

neatest footwork I've seen. To be liked and dainty and have long

limbs, when you are tall like you, it's not easy. It was incredibly

impressive. One tiny correction, your upper body could be slightly

more taut. More core strength. It'll only condiment your top line.

Beautiful work. Practically perfect in every way. In

every way. Thank you, Daisy. Come on, Mary. CHEERING

Well done. You adored being Mary Poppins. I did, I really loved it.

Darcey said incredibly impressive. You worked so hard to get that

perfect footwork. Really hard. It's a really hard, fast routine,

quickstep is always tough. To go out first. Brilliant. Well done, Mary.

Scores are in. Ladies and Ferman, the judges have their scores. Craig

Revel Horwood. Seven. Darcey Bussell. Eight. Len Goodman. Eight.

Bruno Tonioli. Eight. Won more than last week. What's so cute is

watching you when Craig gave you a seven. You were both like, that's

fine. If you thought that routine was more fun than flying a kite you

can vote for Daisy and Aljaz when voting opens at the end of the show.

Terms and Conditions. Voting won't open until all our

couples have danced. Your vote won't count

and you may still be charged. No one wants to leave

the competition, but with the lowest combined judges

score and viewer votes Our next couple is Anastacia

and Brendan Cole. After suffering

an injury last week Anastacia was unable to perform

in the dance-off. But we all know she's a real fighter

and she's back this week - and raring to go, with

a Viennese Waltz from Twilight. Last Saturday was so hard because I

had injured myself. It was haphazard. We decided to

change because of the injuries. I was disappointed. The pain was so

bad and I was in the bottom two. Anastacia and Brendan cannot perform

again. There will be no dance. The couple with the fewest number of

votes will be leaving. I remember thinking, thank you for giving me

this opportunity, universe. We are still here, so well done you.

Anastacia has come to her specialist to find out how her injury will

impact on her dancing. The verdict is better than I thought so I am

going to continue. The couple head straight to the training room and

get cracking on varied team. I want to focus on the soft Anastacia. We

are doing a song from the Twilight movie. The sun itself melts me. I

look forward to a beautiful dance which this one is. I am very excited

about dancing to this on Saturday. CHEERING

Dancing the Viennese Waltz from the Twilight movie,

Anastacia, well done, darling. How are you? Good, very good. You look

beautiful. That is what I call a love story, packed full of romance.

And your first ballroom? My first ever. Ballroom is very beautiful.

Lets see if Bruno agrees. It was very, very nice, my darling. Very

sweet, it was very simple. Very correct. Brendan guided you

beautifully. You have to be careful... It is the mint, I'm

sorry. You have to make sure you don't lose your balance. You have to

go out of the... Sorry, Len! You nearly had his eye out. Any moment

of unsteadiness. Very proper. The shoulders were slightly up,

especially through the pivots. Bruno was right, you were losing balance

going into the turns. Out of turns, I was hoping it would be a little

bit smoother. But I have to say, you have come back with an enormous

sense of confidence, and I think that... Darcey, darling. It had a

beautiful quality from beginning to end. I think people forget that the

DNA use is very difficult. Constantly turning and having to

find your focus and then do the transition and change, that is

difficult to learn especially when you have lights flashing in your

face. You have a beautiful neck and shoulders and I think you could work

that and really indulge in your top line. But very nice, very nice. Len.

It was quiet, understated and it had a class about it. I thought a lovely

rotation. I am glad you're better and I am glad you are dancing

better. Lovely! Feeling better and dancing better. Thank you,

Anastacia. Go and get your schools, Anastacia and Brendan! Come on, up

you come! Good girl, very well done. We have

not seen this Anastacia. I haven't either. Was that a shock? It is very

feminine. I know I am a girl but I did not really realise until today!

You worked incredibly hard. It has been a very big week and we got

really involved in the story of that which really helps, especially in

Movie Week. People know at home what you are trying to be. Very well

done, the scores R.N.. -- R.N.. Five more than last week,

congratulations to both of you. If you liked that routine,

you don't have to wait A Thousand Years to vote for them,

but you do have to wait until voting opens at

the end of the show. All the details are

on your screen now. Don't forget, if you want to vote

online you'll need to sign in I love saying that stuff. It is

thrilling for me. Tests. Our next couple is Danny Mac

and his partner Oti Mabuse. Last week, Danny's Viennese

Waltz saw him joint top This week he's doing

a Paso Doble as Zorro. But the question is -

can this legendary outlaw, Saturday night was brilliant. I

really, really enjoyed doing it. You are a fantastic dancer, you really

are. Being joint top of the Leader Board is pretty incredible. We have

made it through to week three, I cannot wait, let's smash it. This

week we are doing the paso doble. The theme is really cool. I am going

to be Zorro. Danny and Oti head to the armoury of Hampton Court Palace

to learn some fencing skills. Today we are going to give you a taster of

Olympic fencing. I will teach you how to hit, how to attack and then I

will teach you how to defend. Perfect. Danny was actually really,

really good at fencing. I took to it really well. Wreath let's see. I

think Zorro would take you one. I started kind but in the end,

obviously won. I feel totally ready for the paso doble. Let's just hope

I'd then get zero. Dancing the Paso Doble

from the movie The Mask of Zorro, MUSIC: The Train /

El Sombrero Blanco Danny and Oti bringing the house

down! I think they enjoyed it! Hopefully. Very humble. Any fans

might be disappointed that now they get to see that lovely face. How

much did you enjoy that? It was amazing. We work hard all week but

the guys in make up and costume are smashing it. They have a busy week.

Craig, Danny was joint top last week, has he done enough to keep the

competition at bay? Timing, shaping, the lines were all excellent. It was

a very strong, skilful virtuoso performance. Absolutely wonderful.

Darcey? I have to say the body shaping was so impressive. For a guy

to get the curves, the Tuck, I thought with the amount of moves, I

thought it was going to be too much for you, but you were able to create

a pause with every move. You were able to fix those positions. Four

week three, this is amazing. I Len is grinning from ear to ear. Here he

comes, the swashbuckling performance, a beautiful mix of

artistry and power and coming you have pleased me, you have cheered me

up. You did one of my favourite little steps. It was great. I have

never seen him smile. Bruno? He is Danny Banderas, the sharpest blade

in the land! Carlos Acosta when he comes down, what you did, was

everything the paso doble should be, but one thing that I really see --

rarely see is how much flamenco you put in, and it was interwoven so

beautifully, it was just everything I like about paso doble. Ole! They

thought that was just the ticket. Well done.

Danny and O2. Craig has never used the word excellent in week three

before. I thought Janette's head was going to shoot off her shoulders.

How do you do that? I'm happy with that. So happy. Well done. Scores

Irene. Craig Revel Horwood. Nine. Darcey Bussell. Nine. Len Goodman.

Seven macro eight... Nine! Bruno Tonioli. Nine. CHEERING

That is the highest score of this series by a long shot. Amazing. You

know what? It makes the hard work worthwhile. Your fiance is here, so

cute. Cheering me on, and my mum. Your mummy dressed as Zorro. Why I

make up, it's perfect. If you dont want Danny to leave

with Oti and get his coati, then vote for them when voting opens

after all our couples have danced. All the details are

on your screen now. Still to come, Mission Impossible,

the Flintstones and Moulin Rouge. Right now it's Lesley Joseph

and her partner Anton Du Beke. They're dancing a quickstep

to a song from the film Easter Parade and they're taking

on the roles made famous I know it's Movie Week guys,

but you could have smartened You were marvellous Saturday night,

did you enjoy it? I loved it them it was great, glad I got all the steps

right. Your seat, GG, flirty, fun. Try to control that. Better marks

than the week before. This week we're going to get more again. One

of my favourite weeks, Movie Week, we've got a cracking movie, we are

doing Easter Parade. And it's the quickstep. What I want to do this

week is absolutely nail it. Posture wise. I know what I'm working on,

and needs to work on his flexibility. He got it wrong. I got

it different, I never get it wrong. Wanting Anton to stretch himself

Lesley takes matters into her own hands with some yoga. Well, I'm

here. Go and get changed. I am changed, I put my jacket on

specially. I can't do yoga in a suit. You can't do yoga in a suit. I

can. How did you get your legs like that? You didn't say stop, I just

twisted. What are you doing? I think it's really helping. I was trying to

get more flexibility into Anton. He is more flexible than I am. Let me

show you some steps. Forward, step...

Dancing the Quickstep from the movie Easter Parade,

APPLAUSE CHEERING

That's entertainment. I went wrong. You didn't. You once different. No

wardrobe malfunctions to worry about. You're so fit, giving Anton a

run for his money. Not now, my goodness stop you cover the entire

floor. All that comedy, must have been in your element. We know she

can act. Can she dance, can she breathe? After all that I would have

thought you'd be on the floor out of it. You are fit! That was such a

treat, Lesley, it was spirited, it was fabulously cheeky, the character

came alive. You gave us this beautiful, you know, plenty of dance

content all the way through. There was only times where you're

travelling too much for you to keep up and that is where the technique

gets loose. Maybe you're pushing her a bit, too. So many beautiful

moments. I loved the quirky bits where you spring up. Such a gorgeous

surprise, I loved it. Gorgeous surprise. Len. Lots of references to

the film which I love, but you blended that with some proper

quickstep content, which I thought was fantastic. I'm having all my

joyful little steps tonight, you put a fish tail in, an old-fashioned

step. I can't go into detail. Listen, you're a golden oldie from

the silver screen and I thought you were great. Bruno. My darling,

plenty of spring in your feet. She was going. It was going swimmingly.

I loved the role-play, I loved all the quirky character you put in.

What happened on that corner? Every time you went around that, you went

wrong. I know. Apart from that, which I'm sure next time will be

brilliant, it was wonderful. Craig. Sometimes I thought the footwork

wasn't compact enough, losing efficiency. It was creating a little

bit of gapping between you. The energy, got to say, and the

characterisation, absolutely brilliant. I hope, darling, when I'm

your age, 70, I can whirl around the floor like that. They know a hit

when they see it. Thank you very much, Lesley, you're wonderful,

Lesley and Anton. I'm so sorry I went wrong. You went different. I'm

sorry, I knew it. CHEERING Brilliant. They loved it. As did

you. I saw you and Zoe on it takes to talking about the love of the

quickstep. It was magical the way you are talking about it. Why do you

adore it so much? You fly across the floor when you get the steps right,

you fly and floating his arms, it's lovely, I love it. You must have

loved that Lennon said proper quickstep. Proper quickstep. With

all the fun parts. -- you must have loved that Len said. I haven't had

as much fun as I can remember. Craig Revel Horwood. Six. Darcey Bussell.

Seven. Len Goodman. Seven. Bruno Tonioli. Seven. 27, your highest

score yet. Fantastic. If you don't want to rain

on their Easter Parade, all the details are on your screen

now so you can vote for them when voting opens at the end

of the show. There's still all of this to come

on our Movie Special. Are you having a chat? Sorry.

They've got the number, they've written it down. Still all of this

to come on the movie special. I'm trying to approach this week

with optimism and positivity but as oxer and will tell you it doesn't

come naturally to me. What frustrates me with the way I learn,

it falls out of my head like a sieve. It's a really fun dance. I'm

doing it without shoes on and I love dancing barefoot. The American

Smooth is effortless cool. And I don't do effortless and I don't do

cool. Lots to look forward to. Now Daisy's finished her

Mary Poppins' routine, she said Our next couple is Will Young

and his partner Karen Clifton. They're dancing to the song Jai Ho

from the film Slumdog Millionaire and this colourful salsa

inspired by Bollywood - I confided but look what I got for

you, test... -- I can't find it, but look what I got for you, Tess. Last

Saturday I was a mixture of nervousness and then real

excitement. I thought, this is amazing. I missed a bit of the

choreography. I was disappointed. The side-by-side section you messed

up entirely. Five. Five was definitely a shock, the only way is

up from here. This week I'm doing a salsa with a Bollywood theme for

Movie Week. Not only does he have to have all of the technical abilities

for the salsa, but he also needs to remember all the details of

Bollywood dance. Karen has organised a visitor today. Karen invited me

here to incorporate the Bollywood aspect into their dance. Any tips

you can give us? In Bollywood dance it is essential you extend your hand

gestures and hand movements, show the gracing your fingers. Screwing

the light bulbs. I've shown them a few steps, gone over a few of the

hand gestures. They've done amazingly well, I'm so happy and I'm

really rooting for Will. That was absolutely amazing! I've been really

enjoying learning salsa this week, I hope I can bring a bit of Bollywood

to Borehamwood this Saturday. Dancing the salsa from the movie

Slumdog Millionaire, APPLAUSE

CHEERING Jai Ho! A party here in Elstree.

What a colourful routine. Fabulous. Did that get you in the party mood,

Len? It certainly did. Listen, let me say straightaway, Will, I think

you are a terrific dancer. Whatever you had to do you've come out and

not only dancing great, your performance level is great. You've

come here to Borehamwood to do Hollywood and we got Bollywood.

Perfect. I only tell the truth everyone. For me, not enough salsa.

I loved the dance, it was entertaining, it was fun, I enjoyed

it, I thought your dancing was great. But it's a salsa and I would

have liked a soupcon more of the salsa. I got about six or eight bars

in the middle. There are 24 counts of eight of salsa into the routine.

CHEERING Very nice of you to say that to me,

but I must say, most of them I didn't recognise. They weren't.

Probably my fault. You are the expert. Turn up, keep up and shut up

is my other advice. It's only a joke, Will. It worked 15 years ago

for me, I'll give it a go. He's a traditionalist, our Len. All I have

to say is, hooray for Bollywood with a lovely salsa. I loved the flavour,

it was exotic, uplifting, very very colourful, very joyful. And there

was a lot of aspect of it that reminds me of contemporary thrown in

there. I thought the whole thing was wonderful, actually. Craig. There

was definitely enough salsa in there for me and I absolutely adored the

mix. Very brave of you to even attempt that. You danced it really,

really cleanly. The isolation in all the Red Bull stuff was absolutely

brilliant. Well done. -- ripple stuff.

What I noticed straightaway was how effortlessly you got Karen into

those lifts. With the preparation that, I could not even see it. It

was beautifully done. I loved the interesting mix of the two styles

together. A big hit with the audience as well. It is well and

Karen! So, Craig adored it and they thought

it was great because you took an two dances and I know you love Darcey. I

must say I love men as well and I did not want to come across as

disrespectful cash back I really love Len as well stop he is the Don

of ballroom. Thank you, the scores R.N..

If you loved Will and Karen's salsa all the details are on your screen

now, so you can vote for them when voting opens

Still to come, Judge Rinder goes to Bedrock.

Dancing next is Naga Munchetty and her partner Pasha Kovalev.

Last week, Naga was challenged by her Cha Cha.

This week she's doing a tango to a song from a Tom Cruise film

and shes hoping that getting through to next week won't be

How did you feel on Saturday? We were working on trying to feel the

dance more than do the steps. Gutted about the judges' comments. All I

want you to do is get the confidence. Nail the routine and

then get the characters. This week it is Movie Week and we are going to

be doing an amazing movie, Mission Impossible. All the Mission

Impossibles. Do is fabulous. We are doing the tango. For us to nail it

you have to think nothing but the tango. I want the music to follow

you everywhere around. Night, Pasha, see you tomorrow. Everywhere I have

gone, I have heard that theme tune to Mission Impossible. It is there

when I am walking down the street, it is when I am in the supermarket.

It is everywhere. It is following me around, I am sure. Pasha! I want you

to practice as much as you can, it is for your own good. All this extra

practice, I just hope it helps on Saturday night.

Naga Munchetty and Pasha Kovalev, your mission is to dance the Tango.

Come on over. Well done, the pair of you. I know it took longer than you

expected to get out of that harness but you did a great job of catching

up. And you look very foxy. I love the catsuit. Bruno, over to you. She

definitely looks the part. She looks like a sultry, slinky, super spy.

But sometimes you hit a couple of lines which are brilliant but then

you seem to lose focus will stop you stumbled a little bit there. Then

you go back on it and it looks great. Do you lose confidence? I

wonder why. The potential is there. It seems like you are losing focus,

do you know what I mean? Moment of brilliance and then link, what has

gone wrong that? There she goes again. Keep confident in yourself,

keep the strength going through the body all the way through believing

in yourself because you have got it. Don't doubt it. I thought the

footwork was very sloppy and careless and at times I thought a

little bit hasty. It needed to be stronger and more extreme lines

throughout. And you are not closing when you're meant to close and I

think that through you off balance at times. But I have to say, I love

the concept and I love the drama will stop Darcey? I think you really

suit a moody spy. You have this lovely pout on your lips all the way

through and the intent and drama was there from the beginning. But Bruno

is right, it is the focus. I think it is with your eyes. It is very

difficult when you flip around but if you can find something to focus

on every time you flick back, even if it is at Pasha, when you can,

that will help the balance. An incredibly difficult tango but such

an improvement, really. Len? Let me say first of all, that is your best

dance to date. That is the starting point. You have got to be as crisp

as a Pringle when you are dancing the tango. It is sharp, right on the

bottom. When you stop, you stop. A little bit was lacking and I think

that you had the flexed knees which I was looking for, lovely. You got

the hold nice and compact, lovely. I think you get nervous. What do I

know? When it is all over and you look back, I think if anything is

going to stop you, it is your nerves. You are better than you

think you are and you have just got to come out and show us. Great

advice. Take it on board. I will. Thank you, judges, off you go. No

other and Pasha. -- Naga and Pasha. Look at you, no wood in on wires. Is

Len right you don't feel confident? It is natural to feel nervous. It is

something I have battled with. It is Mission Impossible! You are learning

to dance but you are also learning to perform. The scores R.N.. -- the

scores are in. That is your highest score yet. You

must feel very proud. Very proud. If you enjoyed Naga

and Pasha's tango all the details are on your screen

now so you can vote for them when voting opens at the end

of the show. Still to come, Ore is

singing in the rain. Could be awkward, this is a

dancing competition. Our next couple is Judge Rinder

and his partner Oksana Platero. And for this dance Judge Rinder

will be taking on the role of Fred, Yes, it's time to

Meet The Flintstones. How did you feel about your

performance last week? I really enjoyed it. This is the first

routine where I relaxed into it and had fun. Next time you dance look at

your face in the mirror, it is still quite annoying. Poor Craig. When

this is finished I might take him to a happy farm. I will pull off more

faces than we ever did. This week, Judge Rinder is dancing the

charleston as Fred Flintstone. How did he master the character? I

bought a beautiful portrait of one of the most profound characters of

the 20th century. Sometimes Judge Rinder takes things just a little

too seriously. Fred, I want to do justice on the night. Justice? What

do you mean? I want to work out what is going on in that chiselled head

of yours. You have just got to let go and enjoy your self,

yabba-dabba-do! Yabba-dabba-do I have got it, hearing Fred speak to

me will definitely help my dance on Saturday night.

Dancing the Charleston from the movie The Flintstones,

Oh, my oh my! You have rocked this studio, that is the shot. Last week

Fred Astaire, this week Fred Flintstone. I missed a few steps but

never mind! Hopefully nobody noticed. Craig, did you enjoyed that

trip to bedrock? All those ghastly gawping facial expressions, darling,

actually came into their own this week. You had a bit of a tight

swivel, darling, on the left side and you missed time to the first

charleston step. And also you misjudged the lift that sweeps

around. You never actually stepped over the Lady's legs, sadly, but I

love the energy. I loved the routine and I loved the handspring. Darcey?

I love the crazy caveman as well. You are very cute as a caveman!

Darcey, stop, stop! No, utterly charming. There were moments when

you could do more swivel. Overall, you never fail to give us a fabulous

performance. It is brilliant. Len. I'm going to give that a U

certificate, you entertained, you made us all smile, but you made a

few mistakes along the way. But I like your attitude. Because all of

us are dancers and there's not one of us that hasn't gone out and made

mistakes, and you have to say, well, it's one of those things. There were

quite a few moments in there that were little bit anxious. I wouldn't

worry about them, I think he's cute. He is cute, I love it. I'm so sorry,

Oksana, the Strictly cares. Stand back. It was like watching Judge

Neanderthals gone mental. He hammered that charleston so much

that the timing went extinct. You have to keep timing my darling,

performance is always good. If you lose timing you can cover it up and

pick it up again. In the first half it was really out, you were making

it up as you went along. But always funny and always great to watch.

Always great to watch. That face was made for charleston. Judge Rinder

and Oksana. We absolutely loved it, we didn't

see one mistake. Darcey said utterly charming. She made you go a bit

giddy. She did, I don't know what the caveman responds to it is.

Darcey, Ugg. That'll do! The scores R.N..

Ladies and gentlemen, the judges' scores R.N.. Craig Revel Horwood.

Seven. Darcey Bussell. A cute eight. Len Goodman. Sorry, it's six. Bruno

Tonioli. Six. Same score as last week. Strange scoring. Seven and

eight, lovely. Let's focus on those. If you don't want this caveman

to become extinct all the details are on your screen now so you can

vote for them when voting opens They are pointing so you

absolutely have the details. Still to come, Laura is wondering

if she can do a dance Next up is Ore Oduba

and his partner Joanne Clifton. This week Ore is dancing

to Singing In The Rain and taking on the role

made famous by Gene Kelly. Gene Kelly was a professional

dancer with a lifetime's Ore is a sports presenter who's done

a few weeks on Strictly. How cool was that Europe and the

whole show? I absolutely loved it, it was a real pleasure. It was nerve

wracking but it was amazing at the same time. Forget the fire

extinguisher, you need to get out the water cannon to cool down after

this. So saucy, you are. I'm very proud of you. Thanks, coach. The

song we are dancing to for Movie Week is Singing in the Rain by the

legendary Gene Kelly. How I'm going to be effortlessly cool I have no

idea. I really need you to get dancing in the rain. I need to

channel my inner Gene Kelly, this is impossible, we can't do it. Not to

fear. Joe has an idea. Why are we here dressed like this?

We are dancing to singing in the rain, I want you to practice dancing

in the rain. But there is no rain. OK, that's cool. Something about

dancing in water gives you this wanton abandon. It's been such fun

bringing Ore to the Olympic Park he's such a laugh, he's up for

anything. All we can do now is hope our Americans move goes down a storm

on Saturday night. Twitch American Smooth.

Dancing the American Smooth from the movie Singin' In The Rain,

MUSIC: Singin' In The Rain wonderful. Standing ovation, Ore. Is

that a little tear? No, it's just the rain. In your eyes. All of that

umbrella choreography, the one-handed catch, brilliant. How was

it a step into Gene Kelly's shoes? Pressure, lots of pressure.

Incredible job, let's see if you gave the judges a glorious feeling.

You certainly captured the sophistication of that dance. I

yam... You took my breath away I have to say. Beautifully

choreographed. I loved. Ore, your timing is brilliant. And the

physical attributes you have are identical to Gene Kelly. It's

perfect. Really. What I think is incredibly difficult, all of that

physicality you put into it and then you are able to slow it down and

control it at the very end, which is not easy. CHEERING

That dance is your best danced so far.

OK. Sorry. That's all right. Len. I have to agree regarding the routine,

Jo, I thought the routine was fantastic. Ore you interpret it

fantastically. When I heard it was Singing in the Rain, it's so

difficult to give a dance like that, which everyone knows, to give it,

you know, to justify it and give it a twist. But you did. And lots of

Foxtrot references going through it. I'm astounded how good that was.

I'm going to cry! Bruno. I think Gene Kelly himself would be proud

because you took... What happened here, you took all the right

references but then you gave your own personality, you shone through

it. You weren't giving a parody of Gene Kelly, it was you all the time,

dancing as well. Bringing your own character. Down to the twinkle in

your eye, down to every little nuance. Credit to you for such

splendid choreography. Critical acclaim from the judges. It's OK,

I'm fine. Craig. I thought you were leaning over Jo... Shut up! You

could have been on your toes more, especially on the stairs. I thought

the routine was absolutely outstanding. A proper, proper

showman. Thank you, judges, you dry off upstairs. And your little eyes,

too. CHEERING

Well done. Well done to you. I mean, Ore, I wanted to zoom down and

cuddle you. It's a lot to take you're a sports presenter, you've

never danced, and they haven't gushed like for years. Stop bashing.

I didn't mean it like that. ! Gushing. It's an emotional week

because I know how much Jo loves this song and style love dance. I

wanted to make you proud. I think I did. You really did. Ladies and

gentlemen, the judges have their score. Craig Revel Horwood. Eight.

Darcey Bussell. A classy nine. Len Goodman. Nine! Bruno Tonioli. Nine.

That is your highest score by miles. You're crying, Jo's Ryan. I might

also... Are you over the moon? It's a big deal. -- Jo's crying. I love

Tameka, Tameka's also crying. No, no, no. This is week three, guys,

just imagine. If Singing In The Rain had

you cheering on your sofa, and you want to see Ore and Joanne

again next week, then vote for them. All the details are on your screen

now and voting opens at the end It's the transformation of dances,

there's nothing similar apart from keeping in time to the music. It's

fiery, it's feisty. And it's very, very different from last week. We've

been working a lot on technique. We need to be on point with these

things. Sorry! I love doing routine that make you huff and puff, I

haven't felt like that since the Olympics. The dream hasn't stopped

for me yet. More costumes, more dances. With this dance I'm totally

outside my comfort zone, this is way beyond what I was expecting.

Especially Claudia's Bugsy Malone routine.

They're using custard pies made with real cream.

I'm hoping they'll have some spare we might be able to reach.

Dancing next is Laura Whitmore and her partner Giovanni Pernice.

Last week's waltz saw them riding high on the Leaderboard.

And Laura was so happy she's been swinging from the rooftops all week.

She hasn't come back down yet. Saturday night you were absolutely

fantastic. Such sophistication, demure. And yet it had such a

sizzling passionate intensity. Excellent. Absolutely gorgeous, that

routine. Gorgeous! Every week I'm trying to learn a bit

more, to improve on the first week was really nice. This week we are

dancing a salsa. The song is from the movie Moulin Rouge. Salsa is

very different to last week. Very fast. Lots of lists. And it hurts. I

miss the wall. Hours salsa is not just about the I want a spectacular,

spectacular beginning. What about flying? In order to fulfil

Giovanni's vision, they had to the studio to practice their big

entrance. It's high. Can we go higher? Before I even get the dance,

I have to get down to their, unhook myself, get down the stairs. I'm not

going to lie to you, I'm not feeling the most confident at the moment.

I'm going to try and make it look as elegant as possible but in my head

all I'm going to think is, please don't fall over.

Dancing the salsa from the movie Moulin Rouge,

Oh, my goodness! You reached new heights there, my love! That lift at

the end, you must have been terrified. The first one, the last

one, all of them. Did they turn the Moulin Rouge red-hot? It was a

little bit on the raunchy side for me! What are you doing? It is not

your turn yet, Bruno? Bruno does like the raunchy. And I am not a big

punter for it. Give over. But what I like, first, let me say URA to refit

dancer. -- you are a terrific dancer. You have come out and you're

going for it and in going for that dance, I know the salsa is a fast

dance but it has to have elements of finesse about it and they were

lacking occasionally. You are going into the lists and the little

moments, but as I said, you are a great dancer, you will be here for

ages. Go on, Bruno, your turn! I am telling you, the showgirl has

va-va-voom coming out of every pore! You bring the dead back to life!

This was the hottest, sexiest, everything that I like. You look

stunning, your energy was fantastic. I was gobsmacked! Craig? I thought

you through little bit too much of everything into it and lost a little

bit of control. It did look entirely natural on you at times. You need to

knock out when you do the shoulder lift. I saw your body go down and

then you remembered to lock out. But I loved the series of spins. Very

impressive. Darcey? You meant business, you certainly did. You

came on that floor and you sold it. You were popping isolations in every

step. It was really impressive. But otherwise, there were moments of

dysfunction. More the preparations to your lifts. They got to look

rather ungainly. If you I am both out you will have a finished

performance but not bad for week three. Not bad for week three. Well

done, my love. Head up to Claudia. Laura, Giovanni! My favourite thing

all through it was you saying I miss the waltz! Len said you were a

terrific dancer. That means a lot. And it also means a lot to your mum.

There she is! The scores are in. Nine! Give it to me! Well done,

Giovanni. If you enjoyed seeing an Irish girl

do a Cuban dance with an Italian man in a French nightclub,

all the details are on your screen now so you can vote for them

when voting opens at the end Still to come, Claudia and AJ

are playing 13-year-old kids. Dancing next on our Movie Week

special is Greg Rutherford Last week Greg was criticized

by the judges for doing his tango Tonight he's doing an American

Smooth and he's determined to have it tucked in,

no ifs and definitely no butts. How did you feel about last week's

show? The overriding comment was not about the dancing as such but about

my bum. Your bum sticks out. You have got a big bump. In your

ballroom, tuck it under. This week we will have to keep it under

control. The dance this week is the American Smooth. I love the American

Smooth. I love the elegance, the drive, the lifts. This week we have

the best theme. It is Robin Herd, everything I do, I do it for you --

robin hood. To get you into the mood, I have brought you this!

Brilliant. How do I look? Perfect. Greg is such a natural archer. He is

unbelievable. This hat is staying on. It is an incredible hat. I feel

like I am Robin Hood. Tens across the board, I will settle for that. I

hope I can hit some high scores on Saturday night.

Dancing the American Smooth from the movie Robin Hood:

Prince of Thieves, Greg Rutherford and Natalie Lowe.

Beautiful! Beautiful American Smooth. They are on their feet in

the studio. Everyone is all of a quiver. OK, Natalie? Is that a

little tear. First dancing, now acting, he is a natural. Bruno, did

that do it for you? For get about Prince Of Thieves, you are Prince

Charming! The connection between you two tonight was absolutely wonderful

to watch. I do it know how you taught him being a girl to lead so

well. At no time I felt that you were actually pushing him, he was

taking control of the situation, guiding you beautifully. It was just

wonderful and your strength, I thought that last lift! But I have

to say, I was so pleasantly surprised at how well you do, Greg.

Beautiful. Craig? It lacked form at a little bit of swing and sway and

that is the only thing that would have given it a little bit more

style. But I have to say, you're storytelling throughout that, both

of you, was gorgeous. An entrancing partnership. I love this

partnership, I really do. Darcey? It was a beautiful smooth quality,

every time you came in to hold, it was stunning. Even with all that

leather run, I couldn't see your bottom or anything else. There is a

lovely story being told all the way through. Even with those impressive

lifts which were incredibly impressive, they just didn't have

the same quality as the rest of the dance for me. I would have loved

them not to have had that power and I think the quality would have been

smoother all the way through. Both of you are very strong dancers, very

athletic. You were like a rocket nearly. If you could just calm that

down then you will have a great finished performance. But you up

your game every week, you really do. Len? There was lovely chemistry, I

love the air of romance. There was the right amount of stuff in hold

and out of hold. I don't know if it is that doublet or liberty bodice

but no sign of a bum! It was a ball side, well done! Ball fly! He has

hit the target with the judges and the audience -- bulls eye.

Your fellow dancers are all so proud of you. Did you enjoy that more than

the tango? So much. This week has been incredible. Natalie has been so

incredibly patient with me. Tuesday was not going well at all but we

turned it around. Very well done. The scores are in. Ladies and

gentlemen, the judges have their scores.

You look so happy, Natalie, well done!

Next up is Claudia Fragapane and her partner AJ Pritchard.

They're doing a charleston to a song from Bugsy Malone, the movie famous

I think I'll make myself scarce, this could get messy.

Last Saturday was the waltz. It was amazing. I really enjoyed myself out

there. Light of my life? You lit up this ballroom! I was a bit

disappointed when I got a six from Craig. ... He will of the

charleston. He can give us a ten. We have had some good charlestons on

Strictly so far but ours will be the best. We have been working really

hard in training but now it is time to have some fun. We are recreating

a custard pie fight. Those kids in the film are so cheeky and you have

to be super cheeky just like them! Hopefully Claudia has had fun

throwing these pies in my face and hopefully the audience will enjoy it

as much as this. Let's hope AJ does not take my pranks too seriously.

AJ! Dancing the charleston from the movie Bugsy Malone, Claudia

Fragapane and AJ Pritchard. CHEERING

APPLAUSE .

For AJ! Did you get a little bit, Darcey? Come here, my darling, can

you see? For AJ, all that training, look how she repays you. Oh my

goodness, you brought the house down here tonight. It was the nominal. I

apologise. Are you all right, judges? You have tissues. He told me

to hit it hard. It's his fault. There are more custard pies, Craig,

it's your turn. Technically I have to say that was absolutely

brilliant. CHEERING That is worth a custard pie in the

face. Darcey. Even the speed didn't affect you, it was made for you.

Absolutely outstanding. Len. What a marvellous combination, there was

clever choreography, slick tricks, and slapstick. I think even the cake

was made by Paul Hollywood. As we are at the movies. Well done. No

soggy bottoms around here. You went off like a rocket. You're an amazing

dancer. What I really love it, I'm seeing you act. You act beautifully.

You really are a double threat, my darling. Love it. A blockbuster,

outstanding. Thank you, judges. Get yourselves cleaned off, AJ. Well

done. You look divine. She went for it.

You were so cute, you said committee told me to do it fast. Let's take

some of that. You must have been so happy with those comments as well.

So happy, can't believe them, I've got such an incredible teacher. He's

quite a hard task master, isn't it? Just wipe it on me. I'm washing it.

It was fantastic. The scores are in. Craig Revel Horwood. Nine. Darcey

Bussell. Nine. Len Goodman. Nine. And Bruno Tonioli. Nine. CHEERING

APPLAUSE Well done for me you haven't got

higher than a six from Craig, must feel fantastic. Joint top leader on

the Leader Board. If you If you loved Claudia and AJ,

all the details are on your screen now so you can vote for them

when voting opens at look at you! Still to come, I'm only

going to say this once, Ed Balls. Samba. Oh, yeah.

Our next couple is Tameka Empson and her partner Gorka Marquez.

As it's Movie Week all our celebrities are getting

And that should be no problem for Tameka.

She's already won an award for her acting this week.

Last week with the charleston was great, the moment it started I just

felt I was in a silent movie. I absolutely love your character, you

just set the scene perfectly. I hated waiting for the result.

Tameka and Gorka. That was such a relief. The dream still goes on.

This week for Movie Week I will be performing the tango. It's fast,

it's serious, and I'm going to have to really work at this one. Having

been nominated for an inside soap award for her work on EastEnders,

Tameka and Gorka hit the red carpet. This week is Movie Week and I've

brought Gorka here to the Oscars of the soap world. It's time to present

the award for funniest female. Quick stabbing her way to victory it is

Tameka Empson from EastEnders. Thank you very much for this award, it

means a lot. And of course, keep dancing! When I'm with Tameka it's

amazing on the red carpet everyone was like, Tameka, Tameka. Crazy. I'm

glad I won this award. Now I'm hoping this will motivate me

Saturday night. LAUGHTER Thank you.

Dancing the Tango from the movie Beverly Hills Cop,

Tameka and Gorka. The heat was definitely an! You look good in

uniform. Thank you. What you think Darcey? I have to say, you take the

job seriously. The intent, the attack, the drama, the focus your

eyes was great. I think you even felt scared, didn't you?

Occasionally. There were only moment I would have loved it to be crisper,

more clipped, each transition. Each change in the move. If you could get

that crisper change and turn. Fix that top line. But really, as a

whole, it was a great, great dams. You have plenty of attack and intent

and focus. The thing that distracted for me was your past year. You've

got to try and just left, lift up that rib cage. Lifted to shift it.

Then... That's what you've got to do. Little bit over the top. But

well done. No doubt who's in charge there. I've got a job to do, I'm

going to do it. Nobody's going to stop me and I'm going to do it well.

And that's what you did. I loved your commitment. You're like a

laser-guided missile, nothing is going to stop you. I thought you

were leading at times actually, she was taking over. I won't mind you

looking after my street, nobody's going to mess around with that girl.

I want you on my side. Just make sure the past year, you know,

correct that, but I thought your performance was brilliant. Craig.

Your hand position was changeable, largely due to your left elbow

collapsing on occasion. You need to create more of a V shape but you

covered the floor aggressively. That's a good point! Actually. I

thought that part was wonderful, darling.

Hello, hello, hello, hello. It was your favourite, was it? Do it, do

it. You had so much fun with the charleston ULI, I don't want to be

all serious. I know, it was a very hard week this week. You won an

award. I won an award which is good. Thank you, thank you to those who

voted. The scores are in. We'll be judges please reveal that

score? Craig Revel Horwood. Six. Darcey Bussell. Seven. Len Goodman.

Seven. Bruno Tonioli. Eight. If you think it would be criminal

for Tameka to leave the competition all the details are on your screen

now so you can vote for them when voting opens

at the end of the show. Still to come, Louise

is doing "fish dance". Next, hoping for rave reviews, Ed

Balls and his partner Katya Jones. We saw a different

side to Ed last week But after such a flamboyant

routine will he be toning Not really ? he's painted his face

green, he's wearing a yellow suit Can't wait! Things went brilliantly

Saturday. We're a team and we were brilliant. You totally owned floor.

# Because I want to be a cowboy #. That a site I don't think I ever

want to see again. People are not stupid. You got a standing ovation.

The public saved us this time but next week let's also try not be

bottom of the Leader Board. That would great, wouldn't it? What are

we doing next week? It's from the movie the mask. It is the samba. I

don't really know what they samba even is. It's all about a man who

finds a mask and when he put it on he becomes this wild character.

Can't pull it off. When you wear this, you are not Ed Balls any more,

you are the mass. -- you are The Mask. The Mask took over. Somebody

stop me! I must say I was a bit traumatised. If Ed can put this much

personality into his dance we'll be fine on Saturday night. Strictly!

Dancing the samba from the movie The Mask,

Oh, hello? Wreath you were smoking at that you sure work, Ed. Oh, my

goodness me. Was that smoking, Len? What is great is the anticipation

when you are coming out, what is going to happen. I have got to

congratulate you. Because you haven't taken the easy option. You

could easily, which we have seen before with the less talented

dancers, the pro is doing everything but you have given it full routines

with lots going on. And it is great to see you out there having a go.

Ed, you are not the best dancer but you are definitely the most fun.

CHEERING Bruno? I see the Green Party is

having a resurgence, and based on that, I will join in. I mean, I am

telling you, I was expecting some kind of samba dance. You could not

have given more impact to that performance. All the Jim Carey

phrases. That was complete lunacy and to give -- totally wonderful. I

know it is crazy, but I like it! And we are all crazy. I cannot quite

believe what I have just been witnessed to and I am sure the

nation is with me on that, darling. I think somebody must have put

something in my water. It was driven but the void, sadly, of any samba. I

like that you relent wished any sort of technique associated with this

dance. I thought my to Fuego was not that bad. And you started with a

vault. What do you out of life? There you go! He is taking this very

seriously, Ed. Darcey? 100% crazy, fabulous, I couldn't take my eyes

off you. But you know what is great, you have definitely embodied the

character and I want you to hold on to that for the rest of the

competition. Fingers crossed. We love it. He has done it again, off

you go to Claudia. Ed and Katya, we were screaming for

you up here! Absolutely extraordinary. The best thing was

your wife's face. She was going, I love him, this is happening. How are

your kids taking this situation? It is definitely embarrassing but I

have been saying all week, somebody stop me! I cannot speak! The scores

are in. Ladies and gentlemen, the judges have their scores.

Smoking! Seven. Bruno Tonioli. Piping! Seven. You see, it is

fantastic. I can't stop staring at you. That politician in a suit,

where has he gone. He has gone to party!

If you want to keep Ed and Katya in the competition,

all the details are on your screen now so you can vote

for them when voting opens at the end of the show.

Last week's Viennese Waltz saw her score 32

What a feeling it must have been to be joint top of the Leaderboard.

And coincidentally What A Feeling is what she's dancing to tonight.

I was just so thrilled to bits about Saturday. Beautiful, absolutely

beautiful. I am so proud of you. You danced really beautifully. I spotted

the first fleckerl of the year. You are joint top of the Leader Board,

very well done. This week, cha-cha-cha, Movie Week, we are

doing Flashdance. I used to do the routine in my living room when I was

12 years of age. It was my dream. Some girls like princesses. I liked

a girl who was a welder who could really do some moves. We should put

you in that situation. In my living room? Guess, I have got some

legwarmers to help! Very proud of mum and Kevin's dancing. We think

she will do well. That was fun. If I can just forget about the millions

of people watching at home then I will be fine on Saturday night!

Dancing the Cha Cha Cha from the movie Flashdance,

What a show stopper. Come here. It from the movie Flashdance,

What a show stopper. Come here. It is safe to say you past that

audition. It was wonderful. Bruno? It was so good. It took me back to

the 80s. I knew the steps. All the cha-cha-cha you put in was actually

very good. You have such a wonderful foot placement. I love the way you

caress the floor when you change position. So nice, so precise and it

is good for us to see what you have got, my darling! You passed the

audition and you were great! Great rhythm, great timing, you just need

to watch your hip action which can be extended more. I loved the

routine. Well done. Darcey? I think every time you are given a style you

make the most of it and I love this because this really suits you. It is

a great look, hang onto this one. You looked so much more confident

and in control of it. I really enjoyed it. A beautiful smile was in

place throughout. Was that a fitting finale for our movie night, Len?

People there with the cha-cha-cha you have to be sharp, crisp and

clean, but you have also got to show the rhythm. To get all those

elements together is a tricky job but I must say you did. But may I

also say, I have had a fantastic night with all of our couples. It

has been fabulous! Thank you, Len. Thank you so much, judges. Go and

get the party started. Thank you, Louise and Kevin!

Well done to both of you. Was I right that you said earlier, I have

forgotten? I forget all the time and panic and then I get out there and

enjoy it. The scores are in. The judges have their scores.

Are you happy. When you got that seven, you said, I'm sorry? You were

fabulous. If you'd love these two to make it
