:00:00. > :00:11.Last week on Strictly: The ballroom reached boiling point as the
:00:12. > :00:15.competition intensified. The judges took no prisoners in their quest for
:00:16. > :00:18.perfection. Things that we've overlooked, we're going to be really
:00:19. > :00:25.picking up on. Pull it out next time. No-one escaped unscathed. It
:00:26. > :00:29.lacked drama. Mark survived his third dance-off by beating Ben. This
:00:30. > :00:33.week, Strictly brushes off its top hat and tails for a night at the
:00:34. > :00:48.musicals. # Luck be a lady tonight #
:00:49. > :04:24.It's musicals week on Strictly Come Dancing. Please welcome your hosts,
:04:25. > :04:40.Sir Bruce Forsyth and Tess Daly. APPLAUSE
:04:41. > :04:49.A standing ovation, all for us. All for us, that is. Sit down, please.
:04:50. > :04:54.What an opening. Wasn't it just! Tapping their feet. Good evening
:04:55. > :04:57.ladies and gentleman and children, welcome to Strictly Come Dancing,
:04:58. > :05:03.it's nice to see you, to see you... Nice! It's nice to see you Brucie.
:05:04. > :05:06.What an opener. It's going to be a great show tonight, all about the
:05:07. > :05:11.musicals. I'm glad you mentioned that because only this week, I went
:05:12. > :05:16.to a West End producer with an idea for turning Strictly Come Dancing
:05:17. > :05:22.into a musical. Me and you Tess, in a musical. Oh, really? What did they
:05:23. > :05:24.say? They said it's a good idea but they've got a show already called
:05:25. > :05:36.Beauty and the Beast. APPLAUSE
:05:37. > :05:40.Isn't that terrible, Tess, how dare they call you a beast.
:05:41. > :05:53.LAUGHTER You're not a beast. ROARS
:05:54. > :05:58.APPLAUSE The beast within.
:05:59. > :06:03.Excuse me. That was lovely. Yeah. Last week, the judges pulled no
:06:04. > :06:10.punches after a tough night in the ballroom, Mark and Iveta faced Ben
:06:11. > :06:13.and Kristina in the dance-off. Mark reigned supreme and Big Ben had to
:06:14. > :06:17.leave the competition. I'm so sad about that, I really am. That leaves
:06:18. > :06:22.seven brides for seven brothers to take on tonight's musicals
:06:23. > :06:25.spectacular. Our chorus line will be treading the boards to songs from
:06:26. > :06:31.some of the greatest ever musicals. Let's see what our guys and dolls
:06:32. > :06:37.have in store. Let's have a look. Goodness me. It's time to meet - I'm
:06:38. > :06:45.trying to build the tension - the stars of our show!
:06:46. > :06:50.Star Sophie Ellis-Bextor and her partner Brendan Cole.
:06:51. > :06:53.Star of stage and screen Mark Benton and his partner Iveta Lukosiute.
:06:54. > :06:57.BBC Breakfast presenter Susanna Reid and her partner Kevin Clifton.
:06:58. > :07:01.Coronation Street Star Natalie Gumede and her partner Artem
:07:02. > :07:07.Chigvintsev. Model and TV presenter Abbey Clancy
:07:08. > :07:11.and her partner Aljaz Skornajec. From Hollyoaks, Ashley Taylor Dawson
:07:12. > :07:13.and his partner Ola Jordan. And Casualty star Patrick Robinson
:07:14. > :07:37.and his partner Anya Garnis. There they are! What about them.
:07:38. > :07:42.There they all are. All ready to face our judges, but hang on,
:07:43. > :07:50.there's one judge missing. Where's Craig? Where is he?
:07:51. > :08:20.APPLAUSE Well! Didn't he move well. With his
:08:21. > :08:30.new metal hip, and Craig, it goes so well with your heart of stone.
:08:31. > :08:35.I can't believe after four weeks you are now moving around. I can highly
:08:36. > :08:39.recommend it darling. I think I'll check in on Monday, I really will.
:08:40. > :08:43.Tonight the competition is tougher than ever and so are our judges. Our
:08:44. > :08:47.Magnificent 7 will high kick their way through their numbers for our
:08:48. > :08:51.judges' scores and your votes at home. We're just three weeks away
:08:52. > :08:57.from the Grand Final. None of our couples want to exit stage left.
:08:58. > :09:03.That's right, or rather left. Are you doing the jokes? I tried! Who's
:09:04. > :09:13.our first couple? Our first couple tonight is Patrick - where are you?
:09:14. > :09:20.There you are. And not just Patrick, but Anya, wonderful dancers. Do you
:09:21. > :09:25.mind going first? No robs. -- probs. Are you sure? Anybody else want to
:09:26. > :09:29.go first? Because everybody hates going first.
:09:30. > :09:36.They really do. Who's going last, then? Susanna, you're last? Do you
:09:37. > :09:39.want to swap and go first? OK, Patrick, there you are, I did try,
:09:40. > :09:51.good luck. Here you are in training. I loved doing the Viennese waltz.
:09:52. > :09:55.The choreography was beautiful. However, last week wasn't our best
:09:56. > :10:00.week, because the finals are looming. The judges are getting more
:10:01. > :10:04.strict. Bad standing spin and I didn't like the ending thing, that
:10:05. > :10:10.was ugly. I expect so much from you now. Just pull it out next time. The
:10:11. > :10:14.judges want to push everyone. We're four weeks from the final, everybody
:10:15. > :10:19.needs to step up the game. We have to do something special to stay in
:10:20. > :10:25.the competition. This week, we are dancing the charleston. It's to
:10:26. > :10:28.Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. At this stage in the competition, it's
:10:29. > :10:33.important to take risks. I know we've done lifts before, but this
:10:34. > :10:37.time, they need to be perfect. I know I can't afford to do any
:10:38. > :10:42.mistakes. Where are you so nervous. The pressure is on. I hope Patrick
:10:43. > :10:46.is ready to bring his A game because I have a lot of faith in him. Do you
:10:47. > :10:51.remember this song? I remember the flying car. Everybody wanted to fly
:10:52. > :10:55.in the car. What a beautiful day for a drive in the English countryside.
:10:56. > :11:08.Let's see what this car can really do.
:11:09. > :11:14.Wow, we're flying. You look truly scrumptuous in that bonnet. It's
:11:15. > :11:18.time to charleston. We need to wow the judges. Hopefully the charleston
:11:19. > :11:32.will help us fly through to next week.
:11:33. > :13:24.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE What about that? ! What about it,
:13:25. > :13:42.hey. Incredible. Come here. Look at this. You've set the place
:13:43. > :13:46.alight. You really have. Would you like a sip of this? I would, thank
:13:47. > :13:55.you vment -- Thank you. It's vodka! I'm only
:13:56. > :13:55.kidding. Let's welcome our judges. Come on.
:13:56. > :14:06.APPLAUSE it's not very often I'm sincere
:14:07. > :14:12.about our judges, but in my opinion, you're all so talented. You could
:14:13. > :14:16.all star in a musical. You really could. If last week's comments and
:14:17. > :14:26.scores are anything to go by, you'd all be perfect for Les Miserables.
:14:27. > :14:32.APPLAUSE Yes, that's from the heart. Len, I
:14:33. > :14:39.tell you, well, what about that? I tell you what that was - that was
:14:40. > :14:51.full of flash, bang, wallop. It's a show stopper. It was fantastic! I
:14:52. > :15:01.salute you. Ure Len. -- you are right, Len. It was a show stopper.
:15:02. > :15:06.Right, OK, Bruno? Talk about va-va-voom. That was Chitty Chitty
:15:07. > :15:12.Bang Bang retuned by McLaren, driven by Lewis Hamilton going for the
:15:13. > :15:17.Grand Prix. From what I'm concerned, you won it. What a lovely routine. I
:15:18. > :15:23.can't tell you enough times. Craig? Well, I absolutely loved that first
:15:24. > :15:27.rollover lift. That was brilliant. I loved the vaudevillian nature of it.
:15:28. > :15:30.It was full of character. You packed that out. It was extremely fast. I
:15:31. > :15:35.don't know how you kept up. That made you a little bit flat footed.
:15:36. > :15:38.Also, you lost a little bit of stability in the last lift going
:15:39. > :15:45.around into the lobster claw, darling. But I did love the polka
:15:46. > :15:53.session and the whole routine was spectacular. You know how to turn it
:15:54. > :15:58.around in the end. OK, Darcey? It was fast, wild and such difficult
:15:59. > :16:06.timing. But you hit it on the nail. That was amazing. You have set the
:16:07. > :16:10.mark so high tonight. Well done. Be so proud of yourselves. A
:16:11. > :16:16.wonderful start. Thank you. You want to leave that with me, OK?
:16:17. > :16:33.Whoa Patrick, oxygen. What a way to start the show. How are you feeling?
:16:34. > :16:37.Is that a silly question? Keep doing that, that will help me. You must be
:16:38. > :16:41.exhausted, even Australian ya, the pro -- Anya, the pro, you're
:16:42. > :16:46.breathing heavy. I don't know how he did it. A very physical routine, did
:16:47. > :16:50.you enJo I it? Loved it -- Enjoy it? Loved it. The pros were saying,
:16:51. > :16:59."That was the dance of the series. Anton was saying that, Karen too. I
:17:00. > :17:04.know it must be a dream come true, a flying car. How much do you want to
:17:05. > :17:08.be in the final with Patrick? It would be amazing just to, the first
:17:09. > :17:12.year here, I can't even speak, still! To have you, thank you. The
:17:13. > :17:42.judges loved it. Let's have a look at the scores:
:17:43. > :17:49.CHEERING Three 10s, a standing ovation and
:17:50. > :17:54.the pros' dance of the series. Feel good? Extremely good. Thank you. If
:17:55. > :18:03.Patrick and his find four fendered friend, the car, made your day,
:18:04. > :18:13.call: Or you can vote online for free.
:18:14. > :18:17.The votes won't open until all our couples have danced. Don't call now,
:18:18. > :18:22.if you do, your vote won't count and you may be charged. Patrick, you've
:18:23. > :18:25.set the bar really high! Who's going to follow that? Time for more music
:18:26. > :18:29.and dancing. I'm glad I'm not following it. I
:18:30. > :18:33.tell you that. Now for our next couple, wait a minute, look who's
:18:34. > :18:42.coming up, it's Natalie and her partner, Artem.
:18:43. > :18:50.Natalie is dancing to a song from Dreamgirls, the musical that was
:18:51. > :18:54.loosely based the story of The Supremes. Natalie asked if I was
:18:55. > :19:00.trendy enough to appreciate The Supremes. I said, of course I am!
:19:01. > :19:07.She asked which supreme I thought was the best. I said, the seven-inch
:19:08. > :19:13.stuffed crust. APPLAUSE
:19:14. > :19:20.Do I fancy one now, I tell you that. They never give me a break. Here
:19:21. > :19:23.they are in training. I was feeling pretty nervous before
:19:24. > :19:28.the dance. We really noticed that the judges were being a lot harder
:19:29. > :19:35.on everyone. I thought the whole thing lacks a bit of drama. Are you
:19:36. > :19:41.out of your mind? Mistakes deaf -- the stakes are getting higher. From
:19:42. > :19:50.this point onwards, every dance could be your last. This week, we
:19:51. > :19:53.are dancing the American smooth. They expect to see something
:19:54. > :19:57.unbelievable lift-wise. It's daunting as hell. I do tend to panic
:19:58. > :20:02.a bit when my feet come off the ground. I know it's a bit scary, but
:20:03. > :20:08.I have a surprise for you. Here we are to face your fear of lifts.
:20:09. > :20:18.That's so high. I already don't want to do it.
:20:19. > :20:24.You don't mind if I just... If you can do this, then lifts on Saturday
:20:25. > :20:29.night will be, "I've got it. I don't want to do. This I can't. I really
:20:30. > :20:33.can't do it. Your body is going - why are we doing this? That's the
:20:34. > :20:39.scariest thing I've ever done. I can't do it.
:20:40. > :20:46.I honestly thought I was going to have a heart attack. Rubbish -
:20:47. > :20:51.lifts? If I can conquer the that pees, I can conquer anything. I hope
:20:52. > :21:08.now our American smooth will have some extra lift on Saturday.
:21:09. > :22:29.MUSIC: And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going
:22:30. > :22:53.What about it? The dancing this year, Artem and Natalie, oh, you
:22:54. > :22:58.should be so thrilled. The emotion here in the studio was incredible
:22:59. > :23:02.during that dance. Whilst you get your breath back, it's a good time
:23:03. > :23:05.to welcome our fabulous singers, Dave Arch and his wonderful
:23:06. > :23:12.orchestra! APPLAUSE
:23:13. > :23:18.And the music tonight! That last song, the arrangements and
:23:19. > :23:24.everything. Bruno, you start. Natalie, you danced like a true
:23:25. > :23:29.dream girl. I'm telling you, the flow, the sweep, the shapes,
:23:30. > :23:34.sometimes it look as if they turn into a fluid and all the accent in
:23:35. > :23:38.the music, you interpreted with a great drama beneath it. It was like
:23:39. > :23:46.a story being told. I lived every moment with you. It was absolutely
:23:47. > :23:50.sublime. I couldn't have said it better
:23:51. > :23:56.myself. I can't believe you gave Patrick an
:23:57. > :24:01.8! I'm going to mark you for your entrance when you were phantom. I'm
:24:02. > :24:05.giving you a two. APPLAUSE
:24:06. > :24:09.That's two more than I deserve, I'm sure.
:24:10. > :24:12.I loved that crucifix lift at the beginning, very, very strong. It was
:24:13. > :24:20.sharp. It was clean all the way through. I thought it flowed from
:24:21. > :24:24.one move to the other beautifully. I would like to see a little more in
:24:25. > :24:29.hold. You have a tendency to look down before you enter lifts. You
:24:30. > :24:32.need to get out of that habit, because it indicates that you're
:24:33. > :24:37.going into a lift. It would be so lovely if you had your chin up, but
:24:38. > :24:44.incredible. That's right. Incredible. That's the
:24:45. > :24:49.word I wanted him to say. Darcey? It's true, the fluidity and just,
:24:50. > :24:53.the mirroring between you, I mean, that step coming forward was
:24:54. > :24:57.stunning, really stunning and the light and shade, you really use the
:24:58. > :25:01.music both of you. Artem, beautifully choreographed. You
:25:02. > :25:06.really worked well together. It's true, just watch the very last lift,
:25:07. > :25:09.you didn't need to grab to come out of that, it would have been just
:25:10. > :25:12.perfect. You could have slid off the back of him. That would be the only
:25:13. > :25:18.thing I would say, stunning, stunning.
:25:19. > :25:23.All these points that you have to think about. The atmosphere was...
:25:24. > :25:28.Go on. It was a stunning performance. The dance got lost in
:25:29. > :25:38.the performance. There was so much swirling and whooshing -- swooshing
:25:39. > :25:43.it didn't feel like a foxtrot. I'm a wind up in a digital world. I'm an
:25:44. > :25:48.old ballroom teacher and dancer, I needed to see a little bit - it's a
:25:49. > :25:53.great performance, Natalie, you're a wonderful dancer. For me, too much
:25:54. > :26:02.swooshing and not enough foxtrotting.
:26:03. > :26:05.Don't even think too much about that because your ovation and the
:26:06. > :26:09.atmosphere you created in this studio was remarkable.
:26:10. > :26:30.Wow. Our very own dream girl. Such a powerful performance, powerful song,
:26:31. > :26:33.beautifully sung by our Andrea by the way. Incredible. Powerful
:26:34. > :26:38.routine, very emotional? Are you feeling that? Very much so. How did
:26:39. > :26:44.it feel? Amazing. I'm so thrilled to be here and to dance with you. That
:26:45. > :26:47.song just... It all came together. I can't quite speak. The lifts were
:26:48. > :26:52.brave because you were nervous about those. Terrified. No wonder you were
:26:53. > :26:56.looking at the floor a bit, Craig. Artem, Len wanted more in hold. What
:26:57. > :27:00.do you think about that? It's possible, but I decide not to
:27:01. > :27:04.because I want to tell the story. So it's the chances you take really.
:27:05. > :27:27.You told a beautiful story. The audience loved it. Scores:
:27:28. > :27:35.Come on Bruno, that's what we want! That's more like it. Still a great
:27:36. > :27:44.score despite Len's controversial eight. It's you who needs to vote.
:27:45. > :27:49.Call from your mobile or land line. Or vote online. Still to come, in
:27:50. > :27:53.our musicals extravaganza, Sophie and Brendan are hoping the his are
:27:54. > :27:57.alive with the sound of tens. And Abbey and Aljaz are bringing some
:27:58. > :28:01.disco to the dance floor, disco moves everybody.
:28:02. > :28:11.Funky. Back to you, Sir Bruce. Next up, it's Mark and I -- Iveta.
:28:12. > :28:16.Every couple is popular, so popular. They're dancing to a song from The
:28:17. > :28:21.Lion King. They will be dancing a samba. Now look, surely, if they're
:28:22. > :28:30.dancing to a song from The Lion King, it should be called a Simba.
:28:31. > :28:33.LAUGHTER In the a samba. Nobody asks me, do
:28:34. > :28:42.they? Here they are in training. It was really nice to go out and do
:28:43. > :28:47.a foxtrot which was all foxtrot, there was no gimmicks. I loved it.
:28:48. > :28:51.The judges' comments were so lovely. You bring the sun to Strictly. It's
:28:52. > :28:55.the little touches that make me smile. I'm in shock from the Results
:28:56. > :28:59.Show. Usually people in a dance-off, three times in a row, on the third
:29:00. > :29:03.time, they usually go home. When the judges were giving the results, I
:29:04. > :29:07.assumed Len was going to say Ben and Kristina. On this performance, I
:29:08. > :29:14.have to save Mark and Iveta. I was in shock. To get this far, it's such
:29:15. > :29:20.a wonderful thing. Week ten - I mean that's madness. This week we're
:29:21. > :29:23.doing a samba to I Just Can't Wait To Be King. The competition is
:29:24. > :29:26.getting tougher. We need to up our game. No-one has survived four
:29:27. > :29:31.dance-offs. I am determined to not be there this week. I'm Mark with
:29:32. > :29:38.technique. But I feel it will help us if we go to see The Lion King. I
:29:39. > :29:41.hope Simba can help me with my samba. When you see the guys doing
:29:42. > :29:45.it, it's so exciting. Hopefully we can get some of that in our dance.
:29:46. > :29:51.We were shown some of the choreography. You go left, right,
:29:52. > :29:55.push. We did a bit of the dance. There's one more thing I want you to
:29:56. > :30:02.see, this is Simba. Could I try it on? I don't see why not. Wow. Do you
:30:03. > :30:05.mind if we keep it? Seeing the show after was the cream on the cake. I
:30:06. > :30:08.hope we can take that inspiration and I can be king of the dance floor
:30:09. > :32:06.and not king of the dance-offs. That was lovely, the pair of you.
:32:07. > :32:11.You have done some lovely dances this series, you really have. Thank
:32:12. > :32:15.you. Iveta suits you. She's brilliant. You have a marvellous
:32:16. > :32:19.time together, Craig. Full of shimmies, full of rhythm, full of
:32:20. > :32:24.camp, darling, which appeals to my nature, of course. Would like to
:32:25. > :32:29.have seen a little more double bounce action, bit flat footed but I
:32:30. > :32:40.think that really is technically your best to date. Oh! Your best.
:32:41. > :32:45.Don't stroke him with your pah! . -- paw. Sadly the ability to be able to
:32:46. > :32:49.bounce for you is difficult and technically it's difficult when it's
:32:50. > :32:55.such a steady samba, which that was, not easy at all. You are still, the
:32:56. > :33:04.cheeky king of the show tonight. Thank you very much.
:33:05. > :33:11.Len? Mark, I tell you what, you are just a great big bundle of joy to
:33:12. > :33:17.watch. Well done. Thank you. The cuddliest lion I have
:33:18. > :33:21.ever seen, a pussy cat of a lion. You have a great ability. You
:33:22. > :33:25.squeeze every ounce of performance value out of any situation. You sell
:33:26. > :33:29.it beautifully. The story telling was good and there was plenty of
:33:30. > :33:33.samba content there. You did it, of course, the bounce could have been
:33:34. > :33:38.better, but I really enjoyed it. Mark, you're a performer, that's
:33:39. > :33:40.what he's saying and you are wonderful and lovely lady. Off you
:33:41. > :34:01.go. Great comments from the youngs --
:34:02. > :34:10.judges. Technically your best dance to date from Craig. Amazing. Just
:34:11. > :34:13.really, sorry, really nice. You're getting emotional on us? You
:34:14. > :34:19.big softie. Now then, king of the jungle, king
:34:20. > :34:24.of the dance-off, you've been there three times. Due think you'd get
:34:25. > :34:27.this far? No, it's amazing. Sorry, I can't speak. It's the first time
:34:28. > :34:37.I've seen you lost for words actually. Last question, Iveta...
:34:38. > :34:43.He's my king. You've yet to break 30, do you think
:34:44. > :34:45.tonight might be the night? Yes. Fingers crossed, let's find out.
:34:46. > :35:08.Scores are in: 29! Nearly. So close.
:35:09. > :35:12.That's still your joint highest score. That's great. And the
:35:13. > :35:19.comments were lovely. They were indeed. Mark does not want to be in
:35:20. > :35:25.the dance-off again. Call from your mobile or landline or vote online.
:35:26. > :35:29.Keep him dancing through to next week. Everyone's in the musical mood
:35:30. > :35:33.tonight, Susanna and Kevin are hoping their quickstep will leave
:35:34. > :35:40.them Singin' In The Rain and Ashley and Ola are off for a magic carpet
:35:41. > :35:41.ride. Our next couple tonight is Sophie
:35:42. > :35:58.and her partner Brendan. What a night tonight is. The song is
:35:59. > :36:01.Favourite Things from The Sound of Music. That's Sophie's favourite
:36:02. > :36:06.film. I've promised Sophie I won't make any silly jokes about The Sound
:36:07. > :36:13.of Music, all right don't worry you can trust me. I will keep my Von
:36:14. > :36:21.Trapp shut. Here they are in training.
:36:22. > :36:26.When it came to the performance on the Saturday night, I tried to
:36:27. > :36:31.forget that anyone else was in the room and just tried to get that feel
:36:32. > :36:33.back where it was just the two of you very connected. I was
:36:34. > :36:38.disappointed the judges didn't enjoy it more. I found it a bit cold. It
:36:39. > :36:41.didn't have enough chemistry for me. The competition is heating up. It's
:36:42. > :36:45.obvious the judges are looking for perfection. You always have to give
:36:46. > :36:52.your best every week because it might be your last. This week is
:36:53. > :36:56.musicals week. We're dancing the Viennese waltz to Favourite Things
:36:57. > :36:58.from The Sound of Music. I can't wait.
:36:59. > :37:02.# These are a few of my favourite things #
:37:03. > :37:07.Are you excited about musical week, but I didn't realise how much of a
:37:08. > :37:12.fan you were. Particularly The Sound of Music. It's the soundtrack to my
:37:13. > :37:17.childhood. The Viennese waltz is ridiculously
:37:18. > :37:21.demanding because of the amount of spin. It's inevitable that you will
:37:22. > :37:27.be dizzy. I have an idea to take you out of the studio and get you used
:37:28. > :37:33.to it in a whole different area. Brendan took me to a fair ground. We
:37:34. > :37:37.could go on the spiniest ride there is, the waltzer. It was a similar
:37:38. > :37:41.sensation to some of the spins in our dancing. It is just about
:37:42. > :37:45.letting go and enjoying it rather than fighting the spins I suppose.
:37:46. > :37:50.It's been fun to do some spiny rides. I say bring on the Viennese
:37:51. > :37:56.waltz. I hope it works and I do a lovely dance on Saturday night.
:37:57. > :40:00.Incredible. I don't believe we've ever had a nicer dance.
:40:01. > :40:10.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE You're the Duke and Duchess of the
:40:11. > :40:14.Viennese waltz. It was so elegant. Darcey, darling. Sophie, I feel
:40:15. > :40:18.dizzy watching you. I can't imagine what you must be feeling. But you
:40:19. > :40:23.kept your composure all the way through. Your style was stunning.
:40:24. > :40:29.And those fast beautiful pave ots as well. -- pivots as well. Just watch
:40:30. > :40:34.the back of your neck when you're constantly spinning, lengthen the
:40:35. > :40:39.back of your neck. But a classic Viennese waltz. For me, you're going
:40:40. > :40:41.to be spinning into the quarter finals, I can't wait to see you
:40:42. > :40:52.there. Brendan, so proud of you two. Len?
:40:53. > :40:58.My favourite things in the Viennese waltz is rotation, I like to see
:40:59. > :41:04.lots of natural turns to the right, reverse turns, pivots everywhere,
:41:05. > :41:07.fleckerls, Darcey is right, with the speed of it, you lost a little bit
:41:08. > :41:15.of toning through your neck, but I tell you what, Brendan, wonderful
:41:16. > :41:21.routine. Beautifully done. Could not agree more. Bruno? Oh,
:41:22. > :41:26.yes, the his are alive with a vision of beauty. It's true because I like
:41:27. > :41:31.the purity of style of that Viennese waltz. As he said, it was a proper,
:41:32. > :41:34.classic Viennese waltz. You kept the rotation going. You looked stylish,
:41:35. > :41:39.elegant. You have confidence. I would like to see you maintaining
:41:40. > :41:44.this confidence in the Latin dances, because when you are yourself and
:41:45. > :41:47.you exude that radiant beauty, you're stunning. Just don't doubt
:41:48. > :41:55.yourself in the Latin side, because you're great, you really are.
:41:56. > :42:01.You're great. Now then, Craig? Your arms need a little more tone when
:42:02. > :42:05.they're out of hold. It's true, we've all gone on about it, you lost
:42:06. > :42:14.your neck on occasion. But the chemistry between you was fantastic
:42:15. > :42:18.in that. Absolutely brilliant. Craig said it was brilliant! You are
:42:19. > :42:22.brilliant. Go on. Off you go.
:42:23. > :42:39.Wow, absolutely gorgeous. A night of standing ovations, you have to be
:42:40. > :42:44.proud of her. I am ridiculously proud of this girl. She's the reason
:42:45. > :42:48.we're doing so well. She's such an inspiration. How are you feeling
:42:49. > :42:53.after all those spins? A little dizzy? It felt crazy and I was
:42:54. > :42:56.saying at the end, I'm glad my head stayed on. I checked it was still
:42:57. > :43:00.attach. You should be spinning into the quarter finals with that. That
:43:01. > :43:02.would be lovely. I love the fact that you're so giddy about musicals.
:43:03. > :43:29.The scores are in: That's your joint highest score.
:43:30. > :43:35.It's the same score you got for that charleston. Well done you two. That
:43:36. > :43:44.legendary charleston. Was that one of your favourite things, the number
:43:45. > :43:48.to call is: Or vote online. All of our couples will need your votes to
:43:49. > :43:51.make it through to next week. Not only will they dance again, but the
:43:52. > :43:57.six remaining stars compete in a head to head in a swing-a-thon. Yes,
:43:58. > :44:02.it's back. I love a plot twist. Back to you.
:44:03. > :44:12.Right, our fifth couple is Abbey and her partner Aljaz. ? Vment -- Aljaz.
:44:13. > :44:20.They are dancing to a song from Saturday Night Fever. I knew you'd
:44:21. > :44:25.like it. I said to Abbey, "That's my favourite musical. It has to be my
:44:26. > :44:31.favourite song. I sing it three or four times every night before I go
:44:32. > :44:41.to bed." She said, "What song? I said, "Stayin' Alive." It's wicked
:44:42. > :44:45.to mock the aged! Here they are in training.
:44:46. > :44:52.I loved the choreography for the paso doble. I was really excited,
:44:53. > :44:55.really happy. Then I kept slipping everywhere. On occasion you just
:44:56. > :45:00.lost a bit of control. I think the judges are really pushing for
:45:01. > :45:03.perfection now. The competition is really heating up. It could be
:45:04. > :45:08.anybody who goes each week. No-one is safe. I think we just have to go
:45:09. > :45:13.out there, give it our all and hopefully, secure our place for next
:45:14. > :45:17.week. It's musical week and we're dancing
:45:18. > :45:20.the salsa to a song from Saturday Night Fever. We've got three lifts
:45:21. > :45:24.in our dance and I'm really nervous, because it's quite scary being up
:45:25. > :45:27.there. I don't want to be dropped. I want to do it right. I'm really
:45:28. > :45:32.worried about doing these lifts. Lifts are really important. You do
:45:33. > :45:38.need to get them right. But, as well, you need to get into the
:45:39. > :45:43.character of the 70s and do justice to Saturday Night Fever. I love the
:45:44. > :45:49.70s, the fashion, the whole era. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
:45:50. > :45:57.In order to get into that 70s vibe, we went it a karaoke bar and blasted
:45:58. > :46:02.out some classic disco hits. # Night fever, night fever #
:46:03. > :46:05.It was a great idea to take my mind off all the worrying. Because it is
:46:06. > :46:10.about fun. # You are a dancing queen #
:46:11. > :46:12.I've got my 70s groove on, I hope I can stay in character for Saturday
:46:13. > :48:19.night for my salsa. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:48:20. > :48:22.You are lovely. This is marvellous. Absolutely marvellous. Did you heat
:48:23. > :48:27.the place up. Get your breath back. Len, did you
:48:28. > :48:30.like that? Saturday Night Fever, I tell you what, there's fever in this
:48:31. > :48:36.ballroom. Everyone has upped their game. Now listen, in my life, I've
:48:37. > :48:37.lost and forgotten many things, I haven't forgotten what a great dance
:48:38. > :48:51.looks like. That was great! He wouldn't lie to you. Bruno?
:48:52. > :48:56.Abbey, the disco diva. Seriously, my darling, I have to make a point, you
:48:57. > :49:01.were dancing at a moment between two professional girls, I could not tell
:49:02. > :49:12.the difference. Good point. Well done. Craig? Could
:49:13. > :49:26.you tell the difference? Yes. I thought it was absolutely a-maz-ing.
:49:27. > :49:31.I thought he'd gone to sleep. Darcey, darling? Mesmerising
:49:32. > :49:41.performance. Finally, you are oozing confidence in the Latin, a five-star
:49:42. > :49:45.routine. Well done. We've never had a time like this on
:49:46. > :49:50.this show. At this stage of the show, we've never had a night like
:49:51. > :49:52.this. Thanks to you and all the other wonderful dancers. Abbey and
:49:53. > :50:07.Aljaz! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:50:08. > :50:10.Everybody's upped their game. Mesmerising said Darcey. I can't
:50:11. > :50:15.believe it. I love her. Do you feel like a disco diva? I do now after
:50:16. > :50:19.them comments. It's good. It's getting tougher. Everybody's upped
:50:20. > :50:22.their game. How much does it mean to have got to this stage in the
:50:23. > :50:28.competition? I can't believe I'm still here. I just don't want it to
:50:29. > :50:31.end. I'm loving it. Has Strictly fever taken over your
:50:32. > :50:35.family. Are you dancing with that with your Pete around the kitchen? I
:50:36. > :50:40.was practising that lift with him at home, yeah. Oh, broken furniture. I
:50:41. > :50:43.didn't think anyone could pull off a white suit, but wow. The scores are
:50:44. > :51:20.in: Wow! What about that? The first 40
:51:21. > :51:28.of the series. Tell me what it feels like? Amazing. I don't think I've
:51:29. > :51:34.ever seen anyone quite as excited. I can't believe it, can you? No. Did
:51:35. > :51:39.that give you - I'm overcome. Did that give you Saturday Night Fever?
:51:40. > :51:48.If you think Abbey and Aljaz should be dancing next week call: Or vote
:51:49. > :51:52.online. Just two couples left to take the stage.
:51:53. > :51:57.That was phenomenal. This is like a final! Isn't it?
:51:58. > :52:05.APPLAUSE Now for our next couple, Ashley and
:52:06. > :52:09.his partner Ola. Another pair! They're dancing to A Whole New World
:52:10. > :52:19.from Aladdin. He's going to be flying on a magic carpet. He will be
:52:20. > :52:25.way up there on a carpet Hoovering. What's that? Oh, do it again? Oh,
:52:26. > :52:31.yeah, up there on a carpet, hovering. Here they are in training.
:52:32. > :52:38.I am over the moon about getting through another week. The waltz went
:52:39. > :52:43.really well. A few distant problems came back to haunt me. Your head is
:52:44. > :52:48.driving me absolutely mad. You've got to sort that out. I've got 35
:52:49. > :52:53.points for the third week in a row. I am determined to get more. The
:52:54. > :52:57.competition is definitely really strong now. It has become all very
:52:58. > :53:06.real. The judges are being harder with their scores. So I do have to
:53:07. > :53:11.show that I have what it takes. This week is musical week. I'm going to
:53:12. > :53:15.be doing a rumba. This rumba has got to be graceful and some of the
:53:16. > :53:19.movements are not very pretty at the moment. We really have to up our
:53:20. > :53:27.game. The judges are being really picky. We have to make sure
:53:28. > :53:32.everything is perfect. Because we're doing Aladdin, Buddy is going to
:53:33. > :53:36.love it. I can't let him down. "Once upon a time there was a boy called
:53:37. > :53:41.Aladdin." If you could have three wishes, what would they be? Daddy
:53:42. > :53:48.winning Strictly, would that be a wish? Who do you want to win? Go on
:53:49. > :53:53.daddy! The pressure is really on. I've got to get my steps right, the
:53:54. > :53:55.character right, make my son proud and flying on a magic carpet, what
:53:56. > :56:12.could possibly go wrong? Sorry Ola. Lovely. Really lovely. Ola and
:56:13. > :56:19.Ashley, what a team you are. Bruno? Oh, so exotic with a touch of
:56:20. > :56:23.the erotic. I love, but there's one thing you did so well, you framed
:56:24. > :56:27.the object of your desire so well. You know, the rumba is a woman's
:56:28. > :56:30.dance and you made her look wonderful, the chemistry was there,
:56:31. > :56:35.the lines were beautiful. Just you need to work a little bit more on
:56:36. > :56:38.your hips yeah, a bit more hip action, but beautifully done,
:56:39. > :56:43.though. Very good, Craig? Yes, I totally
:56:44. > :56:48.agree, a little more hip action. Your arms need a little bit more
:56:49. > :56:54.expression. But I have to say, I really and truly loved it. It was a
:56:55. > :57:01.terrible shame about you getting both legs caught. Darcey? You told a
:57:02. > :57:06.very real story of love. It's not easy for a man in rumba to create
:57:07. > :57:14.that convincingly. You created some strong masculine lines. Great, great
:57:15. > :57:19.control, well done. OK Len? A whole new world, I saw a
:57:20. > :57:24.whole new side to you. Itch thought you took command of that dance. You
:57:25. > :57:26.came out and you -- I thought you took command of that dance. You came
:57:27. > :57:31.out and really performed. You did need a bit more hip action here and
:57:32. > :57:35.there, but well done, Ashley you're on a roll. I think you're dancing
:57:36. > :57:41.terrific. All the time, lovely Ola. Lovely Ashley. Away you go.
:57:42. > :57:54.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE The first person in Strictly history
:57:55. > :57:58.to fly on a magic carpet. How did it feel? Very temperamental, those
:57:59. > :58:03.carpets. I've had a few problems back stage with him. You drove it
:58:04. > :58:10.well. Thanks. Your adorable son, his favourites were "Dave and Karen."
:58:11. > :58:13.Can I just say hello. Miss you. He did well. Do you think you're his
:58:14. > :58:17.favourite now? I hope so. Me too.
:58:18. > :58:21.Hope so. Difficult dance for the male celeb, the rumba. You did so
:58:22. > :58:40.well, very proud. Well deserved. Scores are in.
:58:41. > :58:51.35, another one! Four weeks in a row. Yeah. That's OK. Anton was
:58:52. > :58:58.shouting, "Your best judge yet." Did they whisk you off on a magic carpet
:58:59. > :59:01.ride? If they did call: Or vote online as soon as everybody has
:59:02. > :59:05.danced. Don't forget, find us on Facebook or Twitter. Head to the
:59:06. > :59:09.website, pull back the curtain and see what goes on behind-the-scenes.
:59:10. > :59:14.It's all there. Time for our final performance. Will it be a show
:59:15. > :59:16.stopper? Let's find out. Our final couple tonight is Susanna
:59:17. > :59:28.and her partner Kevin. Everybody loves this couple.
:59:29. > :59:30.By the way, did you know Kevin is from Grimsby?
:59:31. > :59:39.LAUGHTER I didn't know whether I'd mentioned
:59:40. > :59:42.it. Susanna is dancing to a song from Singin' In The Rain, another
:59:43. > :59:47.great music. I said, "In the film there was one lady and two men in
:59:48. > :59:52.that number. You need another man, can I help out? She said, "Oh, yes
:59:53. > :59:57.Bruce. That would be brilliant. Have you got Anton's phone number?
:59:58. > :59:58.LAUGHTER He's always available.
:59:59. > :00:10.Here they are in training. The cha cha and I struggled to love
:00:11. > :00:16.each other. It was all a little bit mumsy, darling. My boys said, but
:00:17. > :00:19.mum you're our mum. As a mother I would say anything but mumsy. We're
:00:20. > :00:22.in the business end of the competition. They're looking for
:00:23. > :00:28.really, really high quality dances. There's no safety. There's a
:00:29. > :00:33.possibility anyone can be in the dance-off. This week it's musicals
:00:34. > :00:40.week. We are dancing the quickstep. I don't get it. It is so quick. Oh,
:00:41. > :00:43.I'm moving around so much. It's too fast. We really have to work on the
:00:44. > :00:49.technique. There's no hiding in this dance. No. I've decided to rope in
:00:50. > :00:54.some help from some of your biggest fans. Little helpers! Hello boys.
:00:55. > :00:57.How come Kevin has roped you into this particular task? Skipping is
:00:58. > :01:03.going to help you with the quickstep. You will get four 10s.
:01:04. > :01:07.That sounds like a plan to me. Brilliant. Doing the skipping just
:01:08. > :01:12.reminds you to stay light on the balls of your feet to give you that
:01:13. > :01:15.lightness that you need in the quickstep. Good luck mummy, you're
:01:16. > :01:19.the best. We've worked on your foot work, I want to throw in something
:01:20. > :01:25.flash. Good morning, you're watching BBC Breakfast. Singin' In The Rain
:01:26. > :01:30.had an iconic moment in it. This week we're focussed on technique,
:01:31. > :01:31.skipping, the sofa, I hope that means Kevin and I can keep dancing
:01:32. > :01:34.into next week. MUSIC
:01:35. > :03:33.Good Morning Are you all right, my love.
:03:34. > :03:40.Everybody loved it, including me. It was sensational.
:03:41. > :03:45.Well done Kevin. And Susanna. It was lovely. That was a quicker tempo
:03:46. > :03:51.than in the film. Craig? I thought the foot work was rather sloppy.
:03:52. > :03:54.I've got to be honest. You looked completely out of sync with one
:03:55. > :03:57.another over here, when you were doing the kick stuff. It was a real
:03:58. > :04:01.shame because it was going rather well up until that point. When you
:04:02. > :04:05.did that last moment, I did think for a moment you overbalanced and I
:04:06. > :04:13.thought you were going to fall flat on your face and sadly... Well...
:04:14. > :04:20.That was a slip of his tongue. I'm glad you saved yourself. I said
:04:21. > :04:27."sadly". He wanted her to fall. Darcey? You captured the role of the
:04:28. > :04:31.cheeky Debbie Roynolds perfectly. There was so much dance content in
:04:32. > :04:35.there. You were so light on your feet. It was a shame, there were a
:04:36. > :04:40.couple of mistakes. You did get out with Kevin. But, it is only about
:04:41. > :04:44.exaggerating some of the foot work and keeping it really crossed, it
:04:45. > :04:54.gets a little open. The energy all the way through was wonderful.
:04:55. > :04:57.Len? News flash: Musical night on Strictly Come Dancing, Susanna Reid
:04:58. > :05:05.closed the show with a blockbuster of a quickstep.
:05:06. > :05:09.Bruno? I wish I could have some of that any morning. You have so much
:05:10. > :05:14.zest, so much life, energy, it's great to see. You capture the spirit
:05:15. > :05:20.of the film perfectly. There were a couple of mistakes on the foot work,
:05:21. > :05:26.but that will improve. Newsreader by day, I tell you, a musical star by
