:00:18. > :00:22.the Strictly stage. -- dance fusion. Kimberley
:00:22. > :00:26.destroyed the opposition with the first perfect score of the series.
:00:26. > :00:32.Full house! There was dress disaster for Denise,
:00:32. > :00:39.landing her in the dance-off. And Nicky lost his battle, blasting out
:00:39. > :00:45.of Strictly for good. This week, five will become four.
:00:45. > :00:54.They'll do anything to win the glitterball trophy. Mine! How much
:00:54. > :01:04.do you want it? Woo oo... The race is on. We'll goat the final. Woo,
:01:04. > :01:05.
:01:05. > :01:15.yeah... BENNY HILL THEM TUNE
:01:15. > :01:15.
:01:15. > :02:08.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 53 seconds
:02:08. > :02:14.Woah. This is mine for one more Live from Television Centre, this
:02:14. > :02:24.is the Strictly Come Dancing semi- final!
:02:24. > :02:37.
:02:37. > :02:43.Please welcome your host, Sir Bruce Shush. Say nothing. It was
:02:43. > :02:47.wonderful. It was perfection. Good evening. Welcome to Strictly
:02:47. > :02:51.Come Dancing, the semi-final. It's nice to see you, to see you...
:02:51. > :02:54.Nice! And it's nice to see you Bruce.
:02:54. > :03:01.Wasn't the dance fusion show great last week. You are a bit flighty
:03:01. > :03:07.tonight aren't you? Sure. The judges gave out seven 10s last week.
:03:07. > :03:14.Didn't they say some lovely things. Bruno said stylistically the
:03:14. > :03:19.dancing was perfection and even Craig said the choreography was
:03:19. > :03:29.brilliant. Darri said it was an extraordinary night -- Darcey. Len
:03:29. > :03:32.
:03:32. > :03:40.said, yum, yum, pig's bum. Len! Len Goodman! In just four
:03:40. > :03:45.words, you lowered the tone. I hope you're satisfied. I'm sorry. But it
:03:45. > :03:50.was funny! Still making me laugh now. He always is. This is it after
:03:50. > :03:55.ten weeks of blood, sweat and sequins, we've reached the semi-
:03:55. > :03:58.finals. Last week's stars came out with the dance fusions but only
:03:58. > :04:02.five remain after Nicky was beat none the dance-off. The famous five
:04:02. > :04:06.will have to perform two dances each. Two each! In the hope to make
:04:06. > :04:10.it through to next week's Grand Final. I can't believe the final's
:04:10. > :04:16.next week, only a week away. Can't believe it, seems like just a month
:04:16. > :04:22.away. We are going to be in for a real treat tonight, Brucie.
:04:22. > :04:27.we?! Yes! I think we are, Tess - that's what it says there!
:04:27. > :04:35.So enough is enough! It is. Whatever that means. Anyway, it's
:04:35. > :04:45.time to - stop giggling - meet the stars of our show. What's the
:04:45. > :04:46.
:04:46. > :04:55.matter with you... Kimberley Walsh and Pasha. Lisa
:04:55. > :05:05.Riley. Lewis Smith and Flavia. Tracey beaker star Dani and her
:05:05. > :05:19.
:05:19. > :05:23.partner. Finally, Denise Van Outen What about them! There they all are
:05:23. > :05:26.and there just nine more shopping days to Christmas. I just thought I
:05:26. > :05:32.would mention that in case you haven't got me anything yet. But
:05:32. > :05:38.did you get your bars of chocolate? Yes, thank you. Thank you. You owe
:05:38. > :05:43.me. You will get yours, all right, don't you worry. If you want expert
:05:43. > :05:48.commentary to guide you through, it's just the press of a red button
:05:48. > :05:55.today. Robbie Savile joins our Karen tonight. Robbie, good to see
:05:55. > :06:01.you back, press your red button. Thank you. Shall we start the semi-
:06:01. > :06:10.final, Brucie? Yes, I think it's time we did and the first couple
:06:10. > :06:16.tonight is Dani Harmer and her partner Vincent Simone.
:06:16. > :06:24.Now, then, Dani has been called the dark horse of this competition. So,
:06:24. > :06:32.with her Italian stallion, Vincent, Woah boy, easy boy - let's hope
:06:32. > :06:36.they can gallop into the finals. Here they are in training.
:06:36. > :06:41.Last Saturday, I was so nervous about this dance fusion, I had no
:06:41. > :06:47.idea how tches going to go down, whether I could actually remember
:06:47. > :06:51.which bit to quick snep, which bit to charleston in, but it went
:06:51. > :06:55.really well and I got two charlestons. I started panicking
:06:55. > :06:59.about getting it right and enjoys myself. The highlight of the night
:06:59. > :07:05.was getting the standing ovation from the audience. Our first
:07:05. > :07:09.standing ovation of the night. Bruno said... It was absolute
:07:09. > :07:13.perfection... That smile was staying on my face all night. To
:07:13. > :07:18.get great comments off all four judges was the best thing ever. I
:07:18. > :07:24.can't believe that I'm now here in the semi-finals. It took such a
:07:24. > :07:28.long time for to it sink in. It was definitely my favourite week so far.
:07:28. > :07:33.This week, we are doing two dances! Our first dance is the American
:07:33. > :07:39.smooth. Our second dance is the Argentine tango. It's hard enough
:07:39. > :07:43.learning one dance in four days, but trying to do two dances...
:07:43. > :07:47.Hopefully we'll make it possible. My lovely dad and my gorgeous
:07:47. > :07:51.sister turned up at training today which was so nice because I haven't
:07:51. > :07:56.got to spend any time with them. Without having my family support me
:07:56. > :08:01.on Strictly, I don't think I would have got this far at all. That was
:08:01. > :08:04.adorable... Watching my dad and sister's reaction to our American
:08:04. > :08:11.smooth foxtrot, I think they liked it. Hopefully the public will think
:08:11. > :08:21.the same on Saturday night. Dancing the American smooth, Dani
:08:21. > :08:21.
:08:21. > :10:04.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 53 seconds
:10:04. > :10:11.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Absolute will you lovely. -
:10:11. > :10:18.absolutely lovely. You are such a team. One week to go and now what a
:10:18. > :10:25.pair you are! Let's welcome the judges, Craig, Darcey, Len and
:10:25. > :10:27.Bruno! Now, Craig, he's shortly to start
:10:27. > :10:32.rehearsals for pantomime. Apparently he's playing a part
:10:32. > :10:39.where he can be a lot nicer than he is on this show. I said what part
:10:39. > :10:43.are you playing and he said, the wicked Queen.
:10:43. > :10:48.Do you make your own dresses? You must have something to do with the
:10:48. > :10:53.styling of it and all of that? I do. Tell me about it after. Len,
:10:53. > :10:58.what about this? Dani, the more I see you dance, the more I like what
:10:58. > :11:02.I see. Honestly. Thank you. Your technique is improving, I saw the
:11:02. > :11:06.heel turns, very clean and crisp. Maybe a bit stronger in your
:11:06. > :11:15.posture but the lifts were good, I liked the fluidity of movement, I
:11:15. > :11:20.thought you did it fabulous. Well done. Thank you.
:11:20. > :11:25.What did I tell you?! You should listen to me! Darling, Len is
:11:25. > :11:32.definitely right. You carry on like this and your wish may come true!
:11:32. > :11:38.Oh yes, I like the touches of Ginger Rogers. How did you get that,
:11:38. > :11:42.you are so young? Probably from the master. A lot of attention to
:11:42. > :11:46.footwork, good technique, flips side by side, you are going in the
:11:46. > :11:51.right direction. Persist! Right. You have been going up like that
:11:51. > :11:56.for the last four or five weeks. Craig? I really liked the beginning
:11:56. > :12:01.bit, the step touches going into the grapevine, that set the whole
:12:01. > :12:04.scene, the lovely heel turn on the corner was lovely. Hand position
:12:04. > :12:10.above the head however needs attention on that first lift. It
:12:10. > :12:19.was like that, darling, it needs shaping and lifting up slightly, it
:12:19. > :12:25.was a bit clubby. One of the other moves could have been held for a
:12:25. > :12:33.bit longer. But I thought you danced it beautifully. Thank you.
:12:33. > :12:37.He liked it, he liked it, he liked it! Darcey? Dani, there is a lovely
:12:37. > :12:41.quality all the way throughout the dance. You create this beautiful,
:12:41. > :12:45.elegant quality which is very chic and you have sweet, clean footwork.
:12:45. > :12:49.It's right, exactly what Len said, your technique all the way through
:12:50. > :12:56.is improving non-stop. Beautiful heel turn over there, we all saw
:12:56. > :13:05.that. I do just miss a little bit of sparkle. I just miss that being
:13:05. > :13:14.held really well. That's all, but very beautiful. Just a bit safe.
:13:14. > :13:24.It was safe but it was fantastic! You were marvellous, both of you.
:13:24. > :13:37.
:13:37. > :13:40.A little dazzler. The tension in the semi-final. We went first, look.
:13:40. > :13:47.Darcey said it was a little bit safe. What are you going to bring
:13:47. > :13:52.to your next dance which is? Argentine tango. With the King of
:13:52. > :13:56.the? Tango. So excited, I can't wait. We saw rehearsals and it's
:13:56. > :13:59.very hot. Half the time training for each dance this week. Has that
:13:59. > :14:04.been tough? It's been really difficult for everyone but we got
:14:04. > :14:07.through one dance so that's good. One down, one to go. Is the
:14:07. > :14:17.pressure getting to you tonight, the semi-final? It is because I so
:14:17. > :14:34.
:14:35. > :14:39.want to be in the final. I can't All right, then. The semi-final is
:14:39. > :14:44.up and running and what a way to start the show. All our couples are
:14:44. > :14:48.dancing twice tonight. The phone lines won't open until every
:14:48. > :14:54.couple's performed their routines. People are cheering behind me, I
:14:54. > :15:04.don't know whiefplt Brendan is back and misbehaving -- I don't know why.
:15:04. > :15:05.
:15:05. > :15:12.Brendan is back and misbehaving. Don't call until we open the lines.
:15:12. > :15:17.If you do, you might be charged and your vote won't count. Who is the
:15:17. > :15:27.next contender, Brucie? The next couple tonight is Lewis
:15:27. > :15:45.
:15:45. > :15:52.Smith and his partner flaf l, Flavia -- his partner Flavia.
:15:52. > :15:56.To all the teenagers watching tonight, respect! Get your bestys
:15:56. > :16:06.round to watch this. This routine is going to be sick and dope and
:16:06. > :16:11.babes are going to find Lewis so buff. If you don't know what I'm
:16:11. > :16:18.talking about, you are a N OOB. You watch them in training because I'm
:16:18. > :16:27.off to do some planking! Whatever...
:16:27. > :16:30.Whatever it means, here they are in training!
:16:30. > :16:35.Can't believe Saturday. It was unbelievable. The fusion I think
:16:35. > :16:40.worked well. The rumba was very slow, passionate. The tango is
:16:40. > :16:46.snappy and quick. I felt leek I stepped it up to try to perform it.
:16:46. > :16:50.It blew me 'way to get a standing ovation at the end. Unbelievable. I
:16:50. > :16:55.want to take it in and you want to say thank you but you don't get the
:16:55. > :17:00.time. I'll say it now, thank you. Effortless dexterity. One complaint
:17:00. > :17:07.though, your thumb was up in the tango. If all he was going to say
:17:07. > :17:12.about my thumb, we get the greater thumbs up. Tens again! It's
:17:12. > :17:18.incredible that Lewis is the last boy standing. I feel the
:17:18. > :17:21.responsibility to step it up for the guys. Our first dance is a jive.
:17:21. > :17:27.Very stressful being the semi-final. It was nice to have my friend come
:17:27. > :17:33.in. Everyone knows him from JLS - well, not everybody - but a lot of
:17:33. > :17:37.people! I didn't think I would see him this nervous. I don't think he
:17:37. > :17:47.ever would have expected me to be on Strictly in the ballroom doing
:17:47. > :17:48.
:17:48. > :17:54.my thing. Good stuff. He's a performer and it's nice to get tips
:17:54. > :17:59.from him. You are going to show two personalities. Seeing him turn inno
:17:59. > :18:07.this star on Strictly I could not be any more proud of him. He said I
:18:07. > :18:17.was doing a good job so hopefully I can do bring that with me on
:18:17. > :18:17.
:18:17. > :20:02.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 53 seconds
:20:02. > :20:10.You will remember that for the rest of your life. And you, my darling.
:20:10. > :20:15.That was so great. It took me back to my youth. They used to go with
:20:15. > :20:21.Patricia to the Mecca. Shut up! While you catch your breath, it
:20:21. > :20:26.gives me chance to welcome our fabulous singers, Dave Arch and his
:20:26. > :20:34.wonderful, wonderful orchestra! Yes, all of you!
:20:34. > :20:40.Wonderful. Now, then. Bruno, start us off? Well, Lewis, they're
:20:40. > :20:46.definitely all falling in love with you when you turn it on! Chasing
:20:46. > :20:54.the cheerleader in the locker room, you naughty, naughty boy. You've
:20:54. > :20:59.got the performance aspect really worked out. Your performance as an
:20:59. > :21:02.actor is really improving. Jives, kicks and flicks, there is a but
:21:02. > :21:05.there, they were not as clean and sharp as they could have been.
:21:05. > :21:09.Listen, it's the semi-final and those things are obvious, you know.
:21:09. > :21:16.There is some tinyish yous with the timing. You have to be on it on the
:21:16. > :21:20.jive all the way through. If you miss a milisecond you have to be
:21:20. > :21:30.sharp. Performance-wise, I'm telling you, don't be disappointing
:21:30. > :21:30.
:21:30. > :21:36.because you are selling it better than offer. -- better than ever.
:21:36. > :21:41.Right, OK. Craig? A I agree about the performance scenario, but I'm
:21:41. > :21:46.going to be nit-picky, when you do snaps, they should be energetic,
:21:46. > :21:53.they were very soft and laid back. Your feet are sickled slightly when
:21:53. > :21:59.you do the kicks which makes them look ugly. It was made to look a
:21:59. > :22:07.bit laboured throughout. Something seemed to go wrong, I don't know.
:22:07. > :22:16.It went perfectly fine. Don't worry, Craig, it went perfectly fine.
:22:16. > :22:20.I loved the trick you did into the jazz bit. Darcey, my darling?
:22:20. > :22:23.Flavia, it's a fun routine, the style was great and you are
:22:23. > :22:27.performing it so well now. It's true, because you are so supple,
:22:27. > :22:31.you don't have that kind of strength in the kicks, it can get
:22:31. > :22:37.soft. You have to really work at being sharp and crisp in things
:22:37. > :22:42.like that because you are so supple, but very nice trick, I like that. I
:22:42. > :22:51.was just expecting more. Such a shame, but I think you can pull it
:22:51. > :22:59.out the bag in the next dance. I was going to say the same. Well...
:22:59. > :23:05.Hello! In your own time? It was just that Lewis was answering back,
:23:05. > :23:09.that's all. We'll pull it out the bag. That's what I'm hoping because
:23:09. > :23:15.for me if your foxtrot isn't better standard, this didn't cut it for me,
:23:15. > :23:18.to be honest. It was too casual. There were too many two-beat drives
:23:18. > :23:22.soyou didn't get the chassis so it lost speed. I wasn't enamoured with
:23:22. > :23:28.the flicks and kicks, it was OK, a lot of content in there, but the
:23:28. > :23:35.quality of dancing wasn't that good so good luck in your foxtrot.
:23:35. > :23:45.We all loved it, they were on their feet. Somebody's got to be wrong.
:23:45. > :23:49.
:23:49. > :23:53.Off you go. Lovely. Come up for some solace and TLC.
:23:53. > :23:58.Stand ogvaition despite controversial comments from the
:23:58. > :24:03.judges -- standing ovation? Yes, my second routine is always better
:24:03. > :24:07.than the first, it always feels a bit cold so let's go down and have
:24:07. > :24:10.another go! The judges agreed on how much you have improved as a
:24:10. > :24:15.performer, you're the only one that doesn't come from a performance
:24:15. > :24:19.background. You have come so far, has it changed your life? I think
:24:19. > :24:24.so. A lot of people want to talk to you about it now in the street?
:24:24. > :24:34.Strictly all the time, yes, it was like I was never a gymnast.
:24:34. > :24:50.
:24:50. > :24:54.Not the lowest score for you. The audience here absolutely loved it.
:24:54. > :24:59.You are our last male celebrity, we are expecting you to do it for the
:24:59. > :25:05.lads now, Lewis. I'm frying my hardest. High hopes for the foxtrot
:25:05. > :25:10.next. If you want lieu twois be in the final, -- Lewis to be in the
:25:10. > :25:15.final, vote for him later once all the couples have danced twice.
:25:15. > :25:20.Tonight promises to be spectacular chock full of amazing performances.
:25:20. > :25:30.Kimberley and Pasha are taking to the skies and Lisa and Robin bring
:25:30. > :25:36.a bit of Broadway. Who is going to wow us next, Brucie? Deneat Van
:25:37. > :25:41.Outen and her partner James Jordan. Another great couple.
:25:41. > :25:45.Last week, they did a very fast jive combined with a very fast
:25:45. > :25:53.quickstep, one of the fastest dances we've ever seen on Strictly.
:25:53. > :25:57.They did very well, they got 38 points from the judges - no, they
:25:57. > :26:05.didn't, they got 35 points from the judges - and three points for
:26:05. > :26:13.speeding! Hey! I got there in the end! My only defence is, I've had
:26:13. > :26:17.the flu this week, OK! So has Bruno, so has Len, so has Darcey and Craig
:26:17. > :26:27.hasn't because he never gets anything!
:26:27. > :26:30.
:26:30. > :26:34.The fusion of quickstep and jive is tricky because they are both really
:26:35. > :26:38.fast. The jive was incredible. There was a little slip-up. I got
:26:38. > :26:41.my heel caught in this. Unfortunately it happened in the
:26:41. > :26:45.quickstep and you are supposed to be gliding along in Unison. I
:26:45. > :26:50.looked like a bouncing pony. My heel was right through the dress
:26:50. > :26:54.and I kept thinking, I can't get this out. A great recovery, well
:26:54. > :26:59.done you. We knew we were in a vulnerable position. Denise and
:26:59. > :27:02.James... I was devastated. I've loved this
:27:02. > :27:09.experience so much. So close to possibly getting to the Faenol that
:27:09. > :27:12.you don't want to go. Denise and James. You have to forget last
:27:12. > :27:18.weekend, pick yourself up, brush yourself off and start all over
:27:18. > :27:26.again. What else can you do? This week we are dancing two dances,
:27:26. > :27:29.rumba and tango. I ain't got a Scooby-doo who I'm doing. There is
:27:29. > :27:34.a lot of pressure. Because we have been in the Tansoff, we have to
:27:34. > :27:38.dance our socks off. Today I had the best surprise ever because
:27:38. > :27:43.Betsy, my little girl, came to training. That's a nice surprise.
:27:43. > :27:47.I've been so bogged down learning the two dances, it was a nice
:27:47. > :27:53.distraction to see my little girl and play with her. It's exactly
:27:53. > :27:57.what I needed. To be honest, I think Betsy was more interested in
:27:57. > :28:07.playing with her toys. Last week was tough and this was just the
:28:07. > :28:08.
:28:08. > :28:18.boost that I needed. Keep dancing... Dancing the tango, Denise Van Outen

:28:18. > :30:10.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 53 seconds
:30:10. > :30:20.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Denise and James, a sight to
:30:20. > :30:26.remember! You will remember that for ever. And well deserved.
:30:26. > :30:33.I love that dramatic end. It was beautiful. It was so lovely, so
:30:33. > :30:37.wonderful that, will you tell your daughter not to pinch my catch
:30:37. > :30:44.phrase! We got off to a flying start with that floor spin and I
:30:44. > :30:50.have to say, it did not stop there. Fantastic. I loved the little
:30:51. > :31:00.flamenco moves, posture was absolutely brilliant. Bit of
:31:00. > :31:06.gapping on occasion only. Rubbish. Rubbish. But I loved it. Absolutely
:31:06. > :31:12.loved the routine. You are a fantastic, fantastic dancer. Thank
:31:12. > :31:16.you. Thank you. Took you a long time to get there but you loved it.
:31:16. > :31:21.Darcey? Denise, the attack you have is extraordinary. I mean, you don't
:31:21. > :31:24.fade all the way through. I mean, to keep that at that high level,
:31:24. > :31:30.that is not easy and it was so clean and beautiful. You had many
:31:30. > :31:34.kicks and the only thing I would say in doing so many kicks, flfs a
:31:34. > :31:41.little bit of a bent leg -- there was a little bit of a bent leg,
:31:41. > :31:49.that's all, so maybe not so high next time. Very, very nice.
:31:49. > :31:54.Absolutely. Both of you. Len? hate it when they have trivial
:31:54. > :31:59.objections. Trivial! Listen, this is the semi-final, this is
:31:59. > :32:05.stressful, you come out like the no-stress express. I'm telling you
:32:05. > :32:09.what, the start, I thought, hello, I'm not going to like this, it was
:32:09. > :32:19.a paso doble twist, once you got into hold and got cracking, girl,
:32:19. > :32:25.
:32:25. > :32:30.that was a proper tango! Thank you. I might add - yum yum!
:32:30. > :32:37.Roxanne, the warring Princess, she cannot be conquered. You give it to
:32:37. > :32:43.me and I give it back ten fold! I'll tell you, that tango was
:32:43. > :32:50.fantastic, especially from those links, those sticato links to the
:32:50. > :32:59.build-up to the end was sensational, I'm with Len. You can drag me all
:32:59. > :33:05.the way, it was fabulous, Len is right!
:33:05. > :33:11.The head turns were all lovely. Where you were being dragged to, I
:33:11. > :33:21.don't know. But there you are. Denise and James. A wonderful,
:33:21. > :33:23.
:33:23. > :33:26.wonderful tango! A very noisy standing ovation. You
:33:26. > :33:30.were in the dance-off last week for the first time. Did that give you
:33:30. > :33:35.the motivation that you needed to come out all guns blazing? It did.
:33:35. > :33:39.You have to move on from last week and we wanted to enjoy the dance. I
:33:39. > :33:43.loved it, such a great dance to do. What an audience. Amazing. They
:33:43. > :33:50.loved it. Denise, you train sod hard, put so many hours in. How
:33:50. > :33:57.tough has it been day in day out training for 11 weeks? Really hard,
:33:57. > :34:07.we have so much fun as well. funny aren't I? He tries! Will the
:34:07. > :34:26.
:34:27. > :34:32.Three 10s. Come on! That is great in the semi-final. Craig goes for
:34:32. > :34:42.the nine! I love it. If you agree with the judges, the numbers to
:34:42. > :34:46.
:34:46. > :34:50.This semi-final is hotting up and the atmosphere in the ballroom is
:34:50. > :34:56.properly electric, amazing. Who is next, Bruce?
:34:56. > :35:03.Bruno is coughing. Don't you think my voice sounds sexier and deeper
:35:03. > :35:11.now?! Sorry, our next couple is Kimberley Walsh and her partner
:35:11. > :35:17.Pasha come lef. Last week, Kimberley and Pasha scored the
:35:17. > :35:26.perfect 40! 40! So the pressure is really on this week. Here they are
:35:26. > :35:31.in training. Come on. I loved the dance fusion
:35:31. > :35:37.and Pasha's choreography was amazing. When Len actually stood
:35:37. > :35:42.up... I'm going to join the audience... And gave us a little
:35:42. > :35:47.standing ovation, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. After
:35:47. > :35:54.having a score of 34 for four weeks, we were really hoping to just push
:35:54. > :36:01.it up to maybe 35 this week. We kind of blew that out the water!
:36:01. > :36:06.Ten. We were literally in shock after every single ten. Ten. Full
:36:06. > :36:11.house! Ten. I certainly wasn't expecting it to be me to get the
:36:11. > :36:15.first 40 of the series. That is dancing! It didn't feel real, it
:36:15. > :36:21.actually did feel like a dream. We were so desperate to get into the
:36:21. > :36:25.semi-finals and we pulled it out the bag. Semi-final week has been
:36:25. > :36:29.extremely intense. I'm really missing my family and friends a lot,
:36:29. > :36:37.so the only way I'm going to get to see them is to invite them to the
:36:37. > :36:42.studio. Hi! We gave them a little sneaky peek of the dance routines.
:36:42. > :36:46.They all seemed pleasantly surprised. Their sup important's
:36:46. > :36:49.helped me a huge amount during this experience. We always knew how good
:36:50. > :36:54.she was at dancing and performing, but I don't think any of us
:36:54. > :37:00.realised how hard this was going to be for her. I don't think I could
:37:00. > :37:05.have done it without them. ALL: Good luck Kimberley and Pasha.
:37:05. > :37:11.Having two dances is putting us under pressure but that little
:37:11. > :37:21.visit's made me feel ready for Saturday night. Dancing the
:37:21. > :37:21.
:37:21. > :39:01.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 53 seconds
:39:01. > :39:10.American smooth, Kimberley Walsh CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:39:10. > :39:16.Yes, Pasha, have a good look! Isn't it lovely? Make you feel good? Of
:39:16. > :39:20.course it does! The fever, that's what it is, you have given us all
:39:20. > :39:27.the fever. I never thought that was a song to dance to, but you have
:39:27. > :39:32.proved me completely wrong. Darcey, darling? I love this, Kimberley,
:39:32. > :39:37.you are like true film star out there, you shine, your timing on
:39:37. > :39:43.every flick. Every time you leave your head behind, it's very special,
:39:43. > :39:48.some lovely details there. What I most loved was that amazing,
:39:48. > :39:53.brilliant turn into a lung right back and you did another double
:39:53. > :39:59.into a drag split, I mean that is difficult and you controlled it
:39:59. > :40:04.really well. I am well impressed. Very, very
:40:04. > :40:09.well done. Absolutely great. Len? Well, I got a bit of fever there, I
:40:09. > :40:13.got a bit hot under the collar, I got to tell you. The first reason
:40:13. > :40:23.was because for me, I would have liked a little bit more of that
:40:23. > :40:23.
:40:23. > :40:33.dance to have been in ballroom hold. I can only say what I see. However,
:40:33. > :40:37.
:40:37. > :40:44.you were like Jessica Rabbit, sometimes, you know, flaunting.
:40:44. > :40:51.Jessica Rabbit! Sorry. You can understand why everything gets on
:40:51. > :40:59.my wick, can't you? They're driving me nutty here. Other than that
:40:59. > :41:07.critique, I thought the rest of it was absolutely fantastic. Well done.
:41:07. > :41:16.Bruno? Now, that fever can cause an epidemic! We can all end up in
:41:16. > :41:21.quarantine, it was an American sex bomb. Forget Rabbit, it was Rita
:41:21. > :41:27.Heyworth. Apart from that, the way you interpret the music is
:41:27. > :41:32.absolutely fantastic to see. It runs tkwhrour body. When you let it
:41:32. > :41:36.go -- it runs through your body. When you let it go, you become one
:41:36. > :41:44.with it. That's great to see, the total abandonment in your dance.
:41:44. > :41:49.Love you for it, keep it going, my darling. So true. This man's taught
:41:49. > :41:53.you a lot, I tell you that. Craig? I would puet that routine straight
:41:53. > :41:59.on stage in one of my shows -- put that routine straight on stage in
:41:59. > :42:04.one of my shows. Absolutely gorgeous, it was creative,
:42:04. > :42:08.contemporary, it was just great, really.
:42:08. > :42:17.There was just one little moment where your chin was a little bit
:42:17. > :42:22.too far down but... Oh. You were looking at my heart.
:42:22. > :42:32.It was beautiful, as you can tell by the reaction. A wonderful first
:42:32. > :42:34.
:42:34. > :42:40.dance. Get the other one ready. We can't wait to see the other one. I
:42:40. > :42:46.can always count on Kim. Red hot Rita. She's smoking! The audience
:42:46. > :42:50.loved it, so did your band makes, Nicola and Cheryl were on their
:42:50. > :42:55.feet. You made the perfect score last week, tough to follow. I've
:42:55. > :42:58.got friends, who're grown men, who cried when you got that score. We
:42:58. > :43:02.all did, it was that huge confidence boost for you? Yes, it
:43:02. > :43:05.really helped me because yes, I have been a little bit low on
:43:05. > :43:09.confidence and last week really gave me a boost. You could really
:43:09. > :43:13.see how much that meant to you. was amazing, such an amazing memory
:43:13. > :43:17.and it gave me the confidence to go out there this week again. You in
:43:17. > :43:22.the dance-off, a long time ago, and to go to the first perfect score of
:43:22. > :43:26.the series, now people see you as a contender. How does that feel?
:43:26. > :43:30.you know what, I would love so much to be in that final so I'm going to
:43:30. > :43:36.try and do a good job of the next dance as well and hope that I'm
:43:36. > :43:46.there. Judges, make 'em good! Ladies and gentlemen, the judges
:43:46. > :44:10.
:44:10. > :44:19.Two 10s. Amazing, thank you. You can vote for Kim and Pasha
:44:19. > :44:29.later when the lines en. If you can hear the pros shouting behind me,
:44:29. > :44:34.
:44:34. > :44:38.they are shouting "Under-marked ". Who's next to dance, Bruce?
:44:38. > :44:46.Our couple now are Lisa Riley and Robin Windsor.
:44:47. > :44:50.Here they come, here they come. Their two dances have a truly
:44:50. > :44:57.international flavour. An American smooth and a Caribbean salsa,
:44:57. > :45:06.judged by an Australian, two Brits and an Italian who speaks double
:45:06. > :45:09.Dutch. Sorry, he's not been well. Here they are in training.
:45:09. > :45:15.Last Saturday, I don't think I've ever been that nervous. It was the
:45:15. > :45:18.thought of doing two concepts of dance. The tango was perfect, the
:45:18. > :45:24.cha-cha which you would have thought would have been my best bit,
:45:24. > :45:29.I made a mistake. You went wrong. did. However, for enthusiasm, you
:45:29. > :45:39.are the kid! Dancing again next week... I don't think I've ever
:45:39. > :45:40.
:45:40. > :45:46.been that frightened. I just didn't want to go home. Lisa... I've made
:45:46. > :45:50.it to the semi-final. Thank you! If we get through Saturday, I'm in the
:45:51. > :45:55.final of Strictly. That's amazing! This week, me and Robin have two
:45:55. > :46:00.dances to learn. An American smooth and a salsa. We have two days for
:46:01. > :46:07.each dance which is half the time we normally have. Oh, no. Within
:46:07. > :46:13.salsa, there are loads of scoops around the neck. Argh... It's going
:46:13. > :46:17.to be really hard, but Robin says, no pain no gain. Blood sweat and
:46:17. > :46:21.tears. Today I had the bestest treat anybody could ever ask for.
:46:21. > :46:26.My brother Liam and my amazing nephew, the love of my life, turned
:46:26. > :46:30.up to rehearsals. I've not seen him for 11 weeks, it's been amazing. To
:46:31. > :46:35.see him in the rehearsal room in the flesh was just what I needed at
:46:35. > :46:39.this stage in the competition. going to make to it the final?
:46:39. > :46:42.pressure is on and I want to prove I'm worthy of a place in the final.
:46:43. > :46:48.Seeing Liam and Jake can I today, they've given me the drive to do
:46:48. > :46:58.the best UK on Saturday night. Dancing the salsa, Lisa Riley and
:46:58. > :46:58.
:46:58. > :48:44.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 53 seconds
:48:44. > :48:50.Lisa, the audience. Look, there they are. And behind you, look.
:48:50. > :48:56.They love you. They absolutely love you. I couldn't see him on the
:48:56. > :49:01.floor. I was like, where's he gone! I couldn't see him. And he was
:49:01. > :49:07.there all the time. I know, I just couldn't see him.
:49:08. > :49:16.Len, Len? Do you know what, you make me into a happy chappie, it
:49:16. > :49:20.was all going on, bilts falling off, -- bits falling off and him over
:49:20. > :49:30.the top. It's so much fun. Honestly, the technique is a bit laboured,
:49:30. > :49:32.
:49:33. > :49:39.but the fun of it all, it just makes me so happy. Well done!
:49:39. > :49:44.good time girl who can bring spice to anybody's life. I do it the way
:49:44. > :49:50.I want it and I want to have fun with it - the crash-landing and the
:49:50. > :49:55.remount! I thought I was going to explode, but it goes with great
:49:55. > :50:01.panache, nobody cares. It's pointless making a technical
:50:01. > :50:10.assessment because it's irrelevant because I was just eye crying of
:50:10. > :50:14.laughter. I've enjoyed it so much. What can we do? I have no idea!
:50:14. > :50:23.Bruno, you hit the nail again. Now, then, I don't know what the devil
:50:23. > :50:33.Craig's going to say about this? Craig's laughing,'s a good sign!
:50:33. > :50:34.
:50:34. > :50:43.The floor spin did it for me, darling. I did try. I tried.
:50:43. > :50:50.wasn't a spin, it was a bump. OK, Craig? We'll come back to you.
:50:50. > :50:54.Darcey first. You don't want to say anything, all right then. Lisa,
:50:54. > :50:59.it's extraordinary, when something's that fast, your energy
:50:59. > :51:02.and you're partying and it's fabulous, I love it. You are
:51:03. > :51:10.missing a couple of isolations there, those hips and everything,
:51:10. > :51:16.but I love you, I love you, I really do. You are the original
:51:16. > :51:26.good time girl. Absolutely, nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with
:51:26. > :51:31.
:51:31. > :51:35.The audience are on their feet again. In nine years, I've never
:51:35. > :51:39.seen Craig crying with laughter - crying in a good way! You bring the
:51:39. > :51:44.fun, you bring so much energy every week to the dance floor. How much
:51:44. > :51:50.do you love performing here? It's blatant by my face, I'm having the
:51:50. > :51:54.best time of my life on Strictly with this beautiful man. To two out
:51:54. > :51:59.there every week and perform, it's like a food to me. I'm glad I make
:51:59. > :52:03.everyone smile because it's a good thing. You are Britaining the joy.
:52:03. > :52:07.11 weeks of training. Have you got what it takes, one more push, for
:52:07. > :52:17.the final? I want to be the final so much, it would mean the world to
:52:17. > :52:30.
:52:30. > :52:38.us, it really, really would. 31. That's great. These are the
:52:38. > :52:42.best weeks of Lisa's life, but was that the best dance of your life?
:52:42. > :52:46.Did it make you smile? They are still laughing, these two, look.
:52:46. > :52:51.Don't call to vote until the lines open once all the couples have had
:52:51. > :52:57.one more chance to dance. Can we just see that shoulder roll one
:52:57. > :53:01.more time, that was my favourite bit. Oh, yeah... Like that. That
:53:01. > :53:11.marks the half way point of my semi-finals. Let's have a look
:53:11. > :53:15.
:53:15. > :53:24.where our stars stand on the It is still all to dance floor and
:53:24. > :53:29.could change as they bring out the guns for the dance floor. Bruce?
:53:29. > :53:37.Just cleaning up after Lisa's dress. Lovely, I had a lamp shade like
:53:37. > :53:43.that once! Right now, back to their second
:53:43. > :53:48.dances, Dani Harmer and her partner, Vincent Simone. They are back again
:53:48. > :53:53.and why not, they were so lovely. Dani is shortly to star in
:53:53. > :53:58.Cinderella where she'll play the lead role and she's going to be a
:53:58. > :54:02.very modern day Cinderella. She'll try the glass slipper on and then
:54:02. > :54:07.go and try glass slippers on in every other shop she can find
:54:07. > :54:10.before coming back and getting the one she tried on in the first place
:54:10. > :54:18.and then she spends the rest of the day looking for a matching glass
:54:18. > :54:25.hand bag! How do you do it, I don't know! Here are the judges
:54:25. > :54:31.discussing their Strictly highs and lows.
:54:31. > :54:37.Dani, the little mighty pocket rocket. The gorgeous little smufr.
:54:37. > :54:44.Full on and flat out and I like it. Somehow being small can be a
:54:44. > :54:47.hindrance but it's an asset because it's always neat and precise.
:54:47. > :54:52.not even notice Dani really in competition until she danced the
:54:52. > :54:57.jive and if you look at that, she was spectacular.
:54:57. > :55:03.She's my surprise package. Clean as a whistle, crisp as a Pringle and
:55:03. > :55:08.Absolutely Fabulous. The classic exam Prime Minister was that waltz.
:55:08. > :55:13.How beautifully clever that was. Gave me goose bumps, absolutely
:55:13. > :55:18.enchanting, my darling. That even niece waltz for me showed the pen
:55:18. > :55:25.tharbl girl's got. Little Miss Dynamite, you were fabulous --
:55:25. > :55:29.potential that girl's got. She loses musicality and fluidity.
:55:29. > :55:33.feel that I want to see something new from her. You want to expect
:55:33. > :55:40.the unexpected and if you don't get that, it become what it's always
:55:40. > :55:45.been. I would have been more happy if I seen the occasional heel leap.
:55:45. > :55:50.Dani's had more nines off me than any other couple. But she's got to
:55:50. > :55:54.take it from that nine that one extra to get the old ten from Len.
:55:54. > :55:58.She's got to pull out all the stops. I think the Argentine tango could
:55:58. > :56:02.suit her because she's an actress. If there's one dance you have to
:56:02. > :56:06.act in, it's the Argentine tango. The judges describe my performances
:56:06. > :56:10.as consistent, but if I'm going to make to it that final, I have to
:56:10. > :56:18.pull out something new. I'm going to pull out the wow factor. We've
:56:18. > :56:26.worked so hard and I would like to complete the series with that, plus
:56:26. > :56:36.I love Vincent and I'm not ready to leave him yet. Dancing the
:56:36. > :56:36.
:56:36. > :58:15.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 53 seconds
:58:15. > :58:25.Argentine tango, Dani Harmer and CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:58:25. > :58:28.
:58:28. > :58:35.I'm not surprised. Dani, look. Remember that. Look. I love the
:58:35. > :58:40.tango. Authentic tango music which is lovely. It's another way to
:58:41. > :58:46.clean your shoes, I suppose. Now then, Len? Me? I got confused there,
:58:46. > :58:53.I thought I was last and suddenly I'm first. That's what it says
:58:53. > :59:01.here? I love the start, there she was, no music, there she was, up he
:59:01. > :59:06.came, got his leg over, ooh, then up on the lift into the dance. You
:59:06. > :59:12.captured the mood, you mastered the technique and for me, you stole my
:59:12. > :59:18.heart. It was beautiful. Thank you so much. That's the bit they were
:59:18. > :59:23.looking for. You provided it, you gave him that performance. Bruno?
:59:23. > :59:30.You've become the lady of the night with the tango. It was like
:59:30. > :59:37.watching two bodies my honourable friending into one. It was so rich
:59:37. > :59:43.in content -- morphing into one another. Always powerful. A great
:59:43. > :59:48.achievement, you have grown up, my darling, you are a lady, you are a
:59:48. > :59:54.lady. The lines you made were so beautiful together. Craig? Vincent
:59:54. > :00:01.has taught you so well, you are such a great study to learn all
:00:01. > :00:06.about. Incredible. Just the slight downfall for me, one of tf lifts
:00:06. > :00:10.was a little bumpy, but other than that, spectacular. You are the
:00:10. > :00:15.Master of the Tango, we all know that, Vincent. He is. I don't know
:00:15. > :00:19.what that makes you, but... Darcey? Dani, I so enjoyed your
:00:19. > :00:24.intensity and your control. Yes. At the beginning to start in silence
:00:24. > :00:28.is so hard and you sustained that and that's not easy. The
:00:28. > :00:31.choreography of course is beautiful and you had so much in there. You
:00:31. > :00:38.have achieved it all. I would have liked a little straighter crisper
:00:38. > :00:43.leg but generally, a very impressive performance. Thank you.
:00:43. > :00:49.Well done, well done. That bit at the start, I thought the band had
:00:49. > :00:59.gone on strike. It was wonderful. The reaction's been marvellous, a

:01:09. > :01:17.tango, one of my favourite dances. You are a lady! You are a lady now!
:01:17. > :01:24.The Argentine tango is Vincent's dance. Was it daunting? But you
:01:24. > :01:29.felt more pressure than I did. you stopped shaking yet? No you
:01:29. > :01:34.haven't. Hold my hand. Len said you stole his heart. Yes. Do you think
:01:34. > :01:44.it's enough for him to give you one of those elusive tens? We'll have
:01:44. > :01:59.
:01:59. > :02:07.to wait and see. Shall we find out Thank you, Len, for that. We are
:02:07. > :02:13.very happy. No more nines from Len. Brilliant. Audience loved it. What
:02:13. > :02:18.about you? What do you think? Call from your mobile or call from your
:02:18. > :02:24.landline, but not until all the couples have danced.
:02:24. > :02:29.Four more couples left the perform and then the all-important phone
:02:29. > :02:34.calls will be open. I'm so excited, what did you think, produce? I
:02:34. > :02:42.thought that would have been four 10s, myself, but I don't want to
:02:42. > :02:49.cause trouble. Lewis Smith next and his partner Flavia Cacace. Here
:02:49. > :02:54.they come. Lewis is bringing o out a saucy calendar for 2068 -- 2012.
:02:54. > :03:01.How about that, girls?! So gentlemen, now you know what to bay
:03:01. > :03:10.your lady for Christmas, a big electric fan to cool herself down.
:03:10. > :03:14.Here's their journey so far. Lewis Smith our Olympic hero's
:03:14. > :03:19.turned into a dancing demon. You have forced your way into the
:03:19. > :03:27.hearts of the nation. He had strength and suppleness, the whole
:03:27. > :03:33.package. You are using muscles you haven't used before. I saw you.
:03:34. > :03:38.my eyes, I think you are going to go far. What about the charleston?
:03:38. > :03:43.It was great because those tricks worked perfectly in the charleston.
:03:43. > :03:51.That trick where he landed right next to poor Flavia's beautiful
:03:51. > :03:56.place. -- beautiful face. My heart is pounding. Do you do house-calls?
:03:56. > :04:02.You will be booked for the rest of your life. His problem is that he's
:04:02. > :04:06.acting. In the paso, there was absolutely no commitment to the
:04:07. > :04:12.work. You have to learn to act these dances. You can go no further
:04:12. > :04:18.with us unless you give yourself up. To win this, you've got to come out
:04:18. > :04:21.all guns blazing and fully firing on all cylinders and if he
:04:21. > :04:26.doesn't... He's going to lose wants to get to the final, he's
:04:26. > :04:34.going to have to put 100% of acting into his dance. And I'll tell you
:04:34. > :04:38.what, he's in the final. He'll get Gold this time. Our second dance is
:04:38. > :04:40.the foxtrot. I think if I'm going to get to the final, we need a
:04:40. > :04:45.perfect combination of technique and performance. I don't have time
:04:45. > :04:48.to sit down and relarbgs I've really got to try and do it. --
:04:48. > :04:52.relax. Sometimes our performance hasn't been there. This last dance
:04:52. > :04:56.has to go right, it's our last chance to get ourselves into the
:04:56. > :05:01.final. It would be a shame to fall a hurdle short. It will be a per
:05:01. > :05:05.febgts ending to 2012 if I was able to get me and Flavia into the
:05:05. > :05:09.Faenol of Strictly, I think I owe her that much -- perfect ending to
:05:09. > :05:19.2012. Dancing the fox frot, Lewis Smith

:07:06. > :07:16.camera with you. That was lovely.
:07:16. > :07:22.
:07:22. > :07:28.I love that music. Sounds like baaBaa Black Sheep. Craig? Oh, no?
:07:28. > :07:32.Are you giving me the thumbs up? really did love it, fantastic rise
:07:32. > :07:36.and fall. Thumb was sticking up a little bit. Moved around the floor
:07:36. > :07:45.with great authority and drive. I loved that ending as well.
:07:45. > :07:53.Brilliant. The ride and fall was really beautiful. So smooth.
:07:53. > :07:58.Darcey? This, thank goodness, you've got it! The travelling, the
:07:58. > :08:04.gliding was seamless, it was superb, your control and rise and fall. You
:08:04. > :08:13.make it look too easy actually, it's beautiful. Grace, quality. You
:08:13. > :08:17.got it. Yes, at last! Darcey has weakened. She loved it. I found the
:08:17. > :08:24.rise and fall not too smooth, I thought it was a little bit bobbing
:08:24. > :08:29.up and down on occasion. However, let me say this, you are the true
:08:29. > :08:34.sportsman, you get knocked down in one dance and you come back
:08:34. > :08:44.stpronger and that's what you did there -- stronger. Nice routine,
:08:44. > :08:46.
:08:46. > :08:52.great performance, well done. you, uncle Len. Bruno? A twinkle in
:08:52. > :08:57.the eye. Smooth, elegant, graceful. You controlled it, you were in the
:08:57. > :09:04.mood, I tell you, you are back on top where you belong.
:09:04. > :09:14.There you are. Thank you. It was beautiful. Lewis and Flavia, be
:09:14. > :09:19.
:09:19. > :09:24.You said you were going to come back stronger in the foxtrot and
:09:24. > :09:31.Lewis, you did. Did that feel good? Really good. I was so nervous, so
:09:31. > :09:34.nervous. Never seen him so nervous. Never seen you so nervous before.
:09:34. > :09:38.The sportsman's focus. How much do you want to be here next week in
:09:38. > :09:42.the final? I would love to be back here. It's a long shot, there are
:09:42. > :09:46.so many good people in this semi- final, we just know we have
:09:47. > :09:52.something great planned if we go there. Less clothing that,'s all
:09:52. > :10:01.I'll say. Are you ready for that in the
:10:01. > :10:05.final?! Promise, promises... Anything goes. Anything goes in the
:10:05. > :10:10.show dance, so we'd expect great things and lots of tricks from you.
:10:10. > :10:20.Got a lot in store. She's had me on a diet for the last week and a half.
:10:20. > :10:35.
:10:35. > :10:43.OK, the scores are in! The judges' Oh it feels good!
:10:43. > :10:46.Your highest score of the series so far. Wow. Oh, great. Is it? Yes.
:10:47. > :10:50.Well done. So I've been told, yes. Lewis has done the double, danced
:10:51. > :10:55.all he can. He now needs your vote if he's going to make it into the
:10:55. > :11:01.final and give you the chance to see that show dance, minus clothes
:11:01. > :11:11.next week. OK, there is the numbers: Don't call until the lines
:11:11. > :11:15.
:11:15. > :11:22.All our couples are desperate to make it through to next week. Who's
:11:22. > :11:26.next, Bruce? Denise Van Outen and her partner,
:11:26. > :11:30.James Jordan. You did that wonderful routine
:11:30. > :11:35.earlier on. This is their second. They've been top of the leaderboard
:11:35. > :11:44.and also in the dance-off, so their highs couldn't be higher and their
:11:44. > :11:50.lows couldn't be lower. Let's have a look.
:11:50. > :11:57.Guys, look. Denise Van Outen, the blonde bombshell. That girl has it
:11:57. > :12:01.all. Beautiful footwork and clean, crisp, precise. For me, it was
:12:01. > :12:04.perfection. Thank you. We cannot not mention Denise's charleston at
:12:04. > :12:11.Wembley Arena. The lifes were extraordinary, there was not one
:12:11. > :12:15.thing that went wrong. I totally agree. That's the dance of the
:12:15. > :12:19.series. Us three are all in agreement. What was wrong with it
:12:19. > :12:25.that you gave it a nine? We are interested in this? It didn't
:12:25. > :12:31.explode enough for me. James, your thumb was up on occasion, your
:12:31. > :12:37.bottom sticking up, you lacked rise and fall, Denise you were perfect!
:12:37. > :12:43.Whoever wins stkpans has got to beat Denise Van Outen. -- wins
:12:43. > :12:47.Strictly Come Dancing, has got to beat Denise Van Outen. In the salsa
:12:47. > :12:51.and Samba, her hips suddenly don't work. If you are going to wear a
:12:51. > :12:58.short skirt, you need fabulous leg action and it wasn't as crisp as I
:12:58. > :13:02.would have liked it. She can't take for granted shaest going in the
:13:02. > :13:09.final -- she's going in the final. We can see how wrong it can go. To
:13:09. > :13:13.get in the final, she needs to be completely and utterly brilliant.
:13:13. > :13:16.The rumba is a smooth cha-cha-cha. That is going to be really
:13:16. > :13:20.dangerous. I know the judges will be watching me with a very close
:13:20. > :13:24.eye during the rumba and I've been criticised for them with my
:13:24. > :13:28.technique in the cha-cha so we have to make sure that our rumba is
:13:28. > :13:32.something that people will remember, remember the rumba! We've had a
:13:32. > :13:37.couple of little mishaps in the last couple of weeks. At this stage
:13:37. > :13:40.in the competition, we can't afford for anything like that to happen.
:13:40. > :13:48.The final's just one week away and it's our dream to be it so we are
:13:48. > :13:58.going to give everything we've got. Dancing the rumba, Denise Van Outen

:15:43. > :15:46.Very lovely. You did it again, look. You've done it again. They
:15:46. > :15:54.absolutely loved it. Enjoy it. Enjoy it.
:15:54. > :15:58.See if I got the story right, she was rejected, rejecting your kiss
:15:58. > :16:03.and he begged for more by getting on his knees, then you did a couple
:16:03. > :16:08.of twirls and finished up sitting on the floor watching telly Yes.
:16:08. > :16:12.That was the story, glad I got it right. Darcey? You know, you have
:16:12. > :16:15.the most stunning arms and actually all the way through this show, your
:16:15. > :16:19.arms have been beautiful. You have the feeling right to your finger
:16:19. > :16:24.tips and that's so unusual to see that extension right to the ends of
:16:24. > :16:29.the finger tips, the feeling is beautiful. It's more of a romance
:16:29. > :16:33.instead of maybe a passionate love story here. I thought some moves
:16:33. > :16:40.are a little broken up because I would have loved to have seen them
:16:40. > :16:49.roll into each move from one to the next. But it had really beautiful
:16:49. > :16:55.feeling. Well done. Lovely. So romantic. Len? For one couple,
:16:55. > :16:59.tonight is their last chance to dance and for me, I don't think
:16:59. > :17:05.final would be the proper final if you are not there. Oh, thank you,
:17:05. > :17:11.Len. Thank you. You can't say more than that. That from you is high
:17:11. > :17:15.praise indeed. Bruno? Denise, I was deeply moved by this rumba. It's
:17:15. > :17:20.never happened before. You've taken another angle to it and it was so
:17:20. > :17:24.effective, so beautiful, so well acted, so well executed. The lines
:17:24. > :17:32.were superb, the transitions between shapes were incredible.
:17:32. > :17:37.There wasn't a moment in which you were not on it 100%. That was a
:17:37. > :17:41.stunning dance. Two lovers really totally in tune with each other.
:17:41. > :17:48.Great risk but it paid off. I thought it was fantastic. Love all
:17:48. > :17:52.the way. Love all the way. Now, then, Craig? Absolutely fantastic
:17:53. > :17:57.story-telling. That goes without saying. Fantastic balance, great
:17:57. > :18:01.extension, finishes were really, really clean. I just wanted to lift
:18:01. > :18:05.your dress up to see the hip action though, darling because I was
:18:05. > :18:12.really gazing through it. It seemed to come in and out of hip action,
:18:12. > :18:19.but gorgeous. I thought you would have been watching my hip action!
:18:19. > :18:29.You are terrible. Naughty, naughty James. But you like? I loved it.
:18:29. > :18:35.
:18:35. > :18:39.Thank you very much. It was What did you say to him? He's so
:18:39. > :18:42.cheeky. That's why we love him. The acting skills came in really handy
:18:42. > :18:46.because that was a beautiful rumba. You absolutely sold it. The judges
:18:46. > :18:50.said you are the one to beat. How much do you want to be here next
:18:50. > :18:55.week lifting the glitterball trophy? Do you know what, I want to
:18:55. > :19:00.be in the final for James, it's the biggest thank you I could give to
:19:00. > :19:05.him for all the training. I know our tango was very powerful, but
:19:05. > :19:15.that rumba for me was probably my favourite dance I've ever danced on
:19:15. > :19:25.Strictly so thank you. James, our hard man, is properly moved! The
:19:25. > :19:44.
:19:44. > :19:51.The judges only have half the story and half the score. Denise and

:20:04. > :20:13.can make all the difference. Who's next, Bruce? The dancing tonight
:20:13. > :20:19.has been extraordinarily epic. Next up, and -- Kimberley Walsh and her
:20:19. > :20:23.partner Pasha Kovalev. We are back with their second dance and it's
:20:23. > :20:27.going to be a charleston to the magnificent men in their flying
:20:27. > :20:32.machines and they are going to have an actual air plane in the studio.
:20:32. > :20:37.BBC, can you afford it?! I'm sure you will do well, but when you've
:20:37. > :20:41.finished your routine and leave the dance floor, remember, the exits
:20:41. > :20:48.are here, here and here! Let's have a look at their Strictly
:20:48. > :20:54.highs and lows. Here they are.
:20:54. > :20:59.I'll tell you what, nimble Kimble has been a revelation to me. I
:20:59. > :21:03.think north-east been fantastic. I love her. I'm going to call you
:21:03. > :21:08.nimble Kimble. She's got everything going for her. Len liked that bit.
:21:08. > :21:12.Look, she's flaunting it. I loved it when you came up and flaunted
:21:12. > :21:17.yourself at me. They don't realise it, if they flaunt themselves, it's
:21:17. > :21:23.always an extra mark. Last week, she didn't even have to do that.
:21:23. > :21:28.loved it and you made it your own. You would have thought she would
:21:29. > :21:37.have been better on the hip-hoppy stuff but she's good at ballroom.
:21:37. > :21:43.She's a Girls Aloud, darling, a Girl Aloud. I can see so much
:21:43. > :21:48.quality and it doesn't come out. It was limp. You are expectations are
:21:48. > :21:52.huge. You've got to do better than that. She gets a little loose in
:21:52. > :21:56.her sentence. She needs to tighten that up. She looks fantastic, then
:21:56. > :21:59.she finishes a pose and has a slight wobble. That has to stop.
:21:59. > :22:04.think it's the stamina. If her stamina gets better and she gets
:22:04. > :22:09.stronger, this won't be so weak. Kimberley looks the part, now
:22:09. > :22:13.rereally want to see her dance the part.
:22:13. > :22:18.Our second dance is a charleston which I'm extremely excited about.
:22:18. > :22:24.There are a few technical things that the judges would like the see
:22:24. > :22:29.me improve on. We have been working really hard on all those points.
:22:29. > :22:34.There is everything riding on this. Everyone in the competition are
:22:34. > :22:42.amazing dancers, so this dance has to be amazing or we could be going
:22:42. > :22:46.home. The final might feel like a breath away at this moment in time.
:22:46. > :22:56.I can actually smell it from here I think and I want to be there so

:25:07. > :25:12.you really have. Look at that! Look! What a thing to remember!
:25:12. > :25:16.OK, and Len, I don't think you will mind starting us off? I certainly
:25:16. > :25:23.won't. It was fun, it was frivolous, happy go-lucky, everything you want
:25:24. > :25:30.to see in a charleston. You weren't flying economy, you were flying
:25:30. > :25:36.first class, well done! Oh, yes, Kimberley, flying high! Up
:25:36. > :25:46.side down, legs in the air, legs on the ground. Looking good from every
:25:46. > :25:53.
:25:54. > :26:03.angle. A feast for the eyes. He's so right. Craig? It's the F-word,
:26:04. > :26:08.
:26:08. > :26:13.darling, Fab-u-lous! You have done it. The last hurdle, Darcey? Quirky,
:26:13. > :26:18.naughty, flapper. It was a interpretation, I loved it and the
:26:18. > :26:22.straight legs on the threet cart wheels, that was difficult! Your
:26:22. > :26:30.suppleness on the upside down box splits, great and you came out of
:26:30. > :26:40.it. Brilliant, love it, love it, love it. The double cart wheels. It
:26:40. > :26:43.
:26:43. > :26:46.was fabulous. Away you go. Thank Amazing. Look! I get the Kimberley
:26:47. > :26:51.cuddle twice this week, lucky me. You must be on cloud nine after
:26:51. > :26:57.that? I absolutely loved that. You can probably tell. Yes. Could the
:26:57. > :27:01.smile be any bigger? Yoi I don't think so. Amazing. I loved it.
:27:01. > :27:04.Three cart wheels, not even two? They were a bit scary, but I'm glad
:27:04. > :27:09.we did it now. Have very brave. If you get through to next week, you
:27:09. > :27:13.are doing a show dance? We are. More of those tricks? He's got a
:27:13. > :27:17.few tricks up his sleeve I think if we are here next week. After seeing
:27:17. > :27:27.that, very high hopes, fingers crossed. The scores are in: Time to
:27:27. > :27:51.
:27:51. > :27:57.She's done it again! You've done it again! See. Lightning strikes twice.
:27:57. > :28:01.And that smile does get bigger, look, there's proof. It's so big
:28:01. > :28:06.right now. That's got to feel good? I can't believe it. Are you
:28:06. > :28:10.speechless for the first time? think I might be. More where that
:28:10. > :28:17.came from. Kimberley needs to make it through to the final to come
:28:17. > :28:24.back next week. You can call and vote for them from your mobile or

:28:41. > :28:47.Our final couple is Lisa Riley and her partner, Robin Windsor.
:28:47. > :28:52.Yes. I can honestly say, from day one, when Lisa set foot on this
:28:52. > :28:57.dance floor for the first time, she surprised everybody, including me.

:29:48. > :29:53.toing to happen. I've never seen anything like it. It was perfect
:29:53. > :29:56.because she saved the splits for Wembley, she knew exactly what to
:29:56. > :30:02.do. When you dropped into the splits, darling, I thought I was
:30:02. > :30:07.going to have a coronary. She got the wow, but not always the how.
:30:07. > :30:12.Her technique lacks a few times. It wasn't exciting, so I can't get
:30:12. > :30:16.excited about it unfortunately. Lisa to get to the final, she needs
:30:16. > :30:22.to incorporate technique. This isn't your dance, sadly. Uplifting,
:30:22. > :30:28.entertaining, 100% out there, embracing everybody. It's what the
:30:28. > :30:31.show's all about. Our second dance is an American smooth foxtrot. Is
:30:31. > :30:35.lot is banking on our final dance because it's the last time the
:30:35. > :30:39.judges and the audience will see us and I just hope that our routine's
:30:39. > :30:43.got what it takes. To get into the final of Strictly would be the
:30:43. > :30:47.icing on the biggest, fattest cake I've ever eat none my life and
:30:47. > :30:53.believe me, I've ate a lot of cake. It's a huge challenge for me
:30:53. > :30:56.because I'm not the best dancer and I have got problems with my frame
:30:57. > :31:00.and intricacy of steps. I'm having the time of my life and now, get
:31:00. > :31:07.two dances out of the way and I could be able to say to everyone, I
:31:07. > :31:17.made to it the final of Strictly Come Dancing and that's amazing.
:31:17. > :31:17.
:31:17. > :33:01.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 53 seconds
:33:01. > :33:11.Dancing the American smooth, Lisa CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:33:11. > :33:16.
:33:16. > :33:26.You saved the best until last, didn't you? You look stunning.
:33:26. > :33:29.Bruno? It's Lisa with an S that's Fussy with plenty of jazz and
:33:29. > :33:33.pizazz! When it comes to entertainment, you are in a League
:33:34. > :33:37.of Your own. You just come out here and give it plenty. A little bit of
:33:37. > :33:47.a stumble here and there and you have to be careful not to throw
:33:47. > :34:03.
:34:03. > :34:07.your hand, when you do this big kick, pow! There! Loved the bull
:34:07. > :34:10.chains kick. Love all the stylise stuff. You have to watch your free
:34:10. > :34:13.arm when you are doing those things. They have to have some sort of
:34:13. > :34:18.intent and purpose. Occasional gapping when you were in hold and
:34:18. > :34:26.your time was out just ever so slightly, but I have to say, I love,
:34:26. > :34:32.love, love what you do, darling, I really do. All right, sweetheart?
:34:32. > :34:36.Darcey? It does suit you. You are the next musical theatre star. I
:34:36. > :34:40.love it. Your lines are in all the mirroring and your spacing is per
:34:40. > :34:44.ect, so with you and Robin, you match each other so well all the
:34:44. > :34:50.way through up and down -- perfect. Only in hold you raised the
:34:50. > :34:54.shoulders a little. That's your only fault, but very enjoyable.
:34:54. > :35:04.Lovely. And good old Len? When you kicked
:35:04. > :35:12.
:35:12. > :35:18.your leg up, I think I saw your razzle dazzle. Come on, now! Lisa,
:35:18. > :35:25.let me tell you... LAUGHTER Lisa, hold my gaze. Look,
:35:25. > :35:33.you are not always... Shut up, will you, for Christ' sake, it wasn't
:35:33. > :35:36.that funny. It's your fan club. funny club!
:35:36. > :35:41.Lisa I'm being serious, look at my face.
:35:41. > :35:46.You be serious. You are not always the judges' champion, I'll tell you
:35:46. > :35:51.what you are, you are the people's champion. There's nothing else to
:35:51. > :36:01.be. Zip your lip. They all loved it. They all loved it. What a night.
:36:01. > :36:10.
:36:10. > :36:13.Razzle dazzle! Thank you, Len! You are the people's champion. I
:36:13. > :36:17.mean, you have never been in the dance-off, you must have great
:36:17. > :36:20.public support, how does that feel? It blows me away every week.
:36:20. > :36:25.Everyone saw last week I was so upset to think I was going home
:36:25. > :36:28.because I was so low in the score board and I just can't thank
:36:28. > :36:33.everybody enough for voting for me and Robin for keeping us in because
:36:33. > :36:37.we are having the time of your life. You were laughing during that
:36:37. > :36:47.dance? It was musical theatre. have a musical theatre star in the

:36:58. > :37:04.making here. Scores, plea. -- Lisa is saying thank you so much.

:37:19. > :37:25.Jazz hands, love it. Lisa is going to need your votes if she's to make
:37:25. > :37:30.it through to final and the lines will be open in a few minutes' time.

:41:27. > :41:37.there, I may have misread Lisa and Robin's number, I want to give you
:41:37. > :41:44.
:41:44. > :41:48.Right, our fabulous five have lived and loved Strictly for an
:41:49. > :41:56.incredible eleven weeks and none of them want to go home this close to
:41:56. > :41:59.the final. To be part of Strictly and to be
:41:59. > :42:05.invited into this prestigious little group has been unbelievable.
:42:05. > :42:10.I'm so proud that I went out there and I've proven to everybody that,
:42:10. > :42:13.no matter what size you are, you can dance and you have a right to.
:42:13. > :42:17.I can't believe how far I've come in the competition, I thought I was
:42:17. > :42:23.going to go out in the first week, but, you know, I can sort of dance
:42:23. > :42:29.now, it's great. I'm really, really happy to have
:42:29. > :42:36.come this far, it means so, so much. But, to get to the final, that
:42:36. > :42:42.would complete this whole journey. I'd be liing if I said we didn't
:42:42. > :42:45.want to be there, otherwise, what's the hard work for. All I want is to
:42:45. > :42:50.make Robin proud. I can say thank you week after week but the biggest
:42:50. > :42:56.thank you I can give to Robin is getting into the final. Every
:42:56. > :42:59.single one of us wants to get into the final. I would be cheering
:42:59. > :43:04.everyone on if they're there, but it would be nice if it was me.
:43:04. > :43:09.would be nice and an experience and a buzz to stay, we made to it the
:43:09. > :43:16.Strictly final. The final feels so close right now, I can almost touch
:43:16. > :43:21.it and I just wanna grab hold of it. Please let me be in the final!
:43:21. > :43:28.I need is a chance to be able to perform in the final. That would
:43:28. > :43:32.top off a fantastic year. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
:43:32. > :43:36.Thank you, thank you. It's certainly been a semi-final to
:43:36. > :43:41.remember. With only four places in the final, the two couples with the
:43:41. > :43:45.lowest combined scores will have to face each other in the dance-off.
:43:45. > :43:50.Doesn't seem right somehow. It's really all to dance for. Now
:43:50. > :43:56.is the time to pick up the phones because your stars need you to get
:43:56. > :44:01.them to the final. The lines will close at 8.45 tonight. Tess and
