:03:54. > :04:12.I was planning to wear this anyway. Good evening and welcome to this
:04:13. > :04:16.week's results show. On Saturday, a chorus line took to the dance floor,
:04:17. > :04:22.but only six places remain and one couple must take their final curtain
:04:23. > :04:31.call tonight. Your votes have then combined with the judges' and two
:04:32. > :04:36.couples will have debated the dreaded dance-off will stop the
:04:37. > :04:48.judges will then have the ultimate decision of who stays and who goes.
:04:49. > :04:56.Please welcome our judges! Also singing, Alfie Boe will be here. And
:04:57. > :05:02.I will be reliving the sell-out performances last night with the
:05:03. > :05:09.judges. But before we revealed the first couple to face the dance-off,
:05:10. > :05:32.let's remind us how they all got on last night. It is musical night and
:05:33. > :05:57.I cannot wait to get started. Jazz hands! Snigger beak, you can see all
:05:58. > :06:07.the studio. -- sneak a peak. Just taking my magic carpet out for a
:06:08. > :06:24.little plight. It almost builds a bit naughty. Freestyle week, it's
:06:25. > :06:28.finally here. It just feels like a really special night. Everyone is so
:06:29. > :06:39.excited. I'm looking forward to it, I love it. Showtime! I'm going to go
:06:40. > :07:01.and get ready. This is the best week about. Five seconds, four, three,
:07:02. > :07:12.two, one. You have set the mark so I tonight, well done.
:07:13. > :07:29.It was absolutely sublime. Incredible all stop --. Technically,
:07:30. > :07:49.your best to date. You are just a bundle of joy. The hills are alive
:07:50. > :08:10.with a vision of duty. The chemistry between you is amazing. That was
:08:11. > :08:20.great. Amazing. I'm just gobsmacked. I really and truly loved it. It was
:08:21. > :08:31.really good, very good. That's all I needed to hear. Susanna Reid closed
:08:32. > :08:41.the show with a blockbuster of a quick step will stop --. It was an
:08:42. > :08:51.epic number. We had a great time doing it all week. It was amazing.
:08:52. > :09:04.What a show. Musical night was fantastic. Craig got the ten paddle
:09:05. > :09:17.out for the first time. Down the bottom of the leader barred, Mark
:09:18. > :09:24.and Susanna. Your votes have now been added to the judges' scores and
:09:25. > :09:33.it is buying -- time to find out. I have the results. In no particular
:09:34. > :09:47.order, the first couple safely through to next week is:
:09:48. > :10:14.Abbey are now jazz. -- Abbey and Aljaz. Also back are...
:10:15. > :10:49.And the first couple who must fight for survival is... Mark and Iveta.
:10:50. > :11:02.Please come and join me. You will find out if you are through a little
:11:03. > :11:06.later on. Here we go again. You said that Mark squeezes every ounce of
:11:07. > :11:10.performance value out of everything. He's been here before, what does he
:11:11. > :11:22.need to do to survive? Your performance level can never be
:11:23. > :11:28.altered. There was an elusive Samba band 's -- samba bounce that we
:11:29. > :11:36.didn't see. Try to be lighter with the footwork. Good luck. Have you
:11:37. > :11:46.got what it takes? Were going to have fun like we whizz do. Just go
:11:47. > :11:57.out there and do our best. We will see you later on and find out who
:11:58. > :12:01.you are up against. Your face when they said your name! You don't just
:12:02. > :12:14.look happy, you look like you might explode. You came down in a flying
:12:15. > :12:26.car, couldn't be better? I can't say anything, I'm just overwhelmed. You
:12:27. > :12:33.don't speak then. Anya, Are you worried about the two dancers next
:12:34. > :12:49.week's definitely going to take one dance at a time. You! 40! 40! You
:12:50. > :12:54.looked so excited and shocked. I imagined when you did that dance,
:12:55. > :12:59.him in the white suit, did you think to yourself, I will probably get
:13:00. > :13:12.full marks's not at all. The standard was so high. To get full
:13:13. > :13:27.marks, I'm gobsmacked. Next up, please give it up for Alfie Boe.
:13:28. > :13:45.# God on high. # Hear my prayer.
:13:46. > :13:57.# In my need. # You have always been there.
:13:58. > :14:10.# He is young. # He's afraid.
:14:11. > :14:21.# Let him rest. # Heaven blessed.
:14:22. > :14:35.# Bring him home. # Bring him home.
:14:36. > :14:43.# He's like the son I might have known.
:14:44. > :14:47.# If God had granted me a son. # The summers die.
:14:48. > :14:52.# One by one. # How soon they fly.
:14:53. > :15:05.# On and on. # And I am old.
:15:06. > :15:18.# And will be gone. # Bring him peace.
:15:19. > :15:31.# Bring him joy. # He is young.
:15:32. > :15:43.# He is only a boy. # You can take.
:15:44. > :15:54.# You can give. # Let him be.
:15:55. > :16:06.# Let him live. # If I die.
:16:07. > :16:18.# Let me die. # Let him live.
:16:19. > :16:25.# Bring him home. # Bring him home.
:16:26. > :17:06.# Bring him home. # Absolutely brilliant. Please welcome
:17:07. > :17:11.our judges, Len, Darcey, Bruno and Craig. Welcome all. Thank you so
:17:12. > :17:18.much for those beautiful moves! Thank you for coming up here. This
:17:19. > :17:29.is where we dissect what happened on Saturday night. Let's welcome Len's
:17:30. > :17:33.Lens. Len's Lens! Look at him. Yes, as I said, this is when you can talk
:17:34. > :17:38.over the details of Saturday night. I'd like to begin with the most
:17:39. > :17:42.beautiful, the most stunning spins of the night. It took the audience's
:17:43. > :17:58.breath away on Saturday. Let's have a look. There you go! Look at him!
:17:59. > :18:09.Pif vot! -- Pivot! Another one. Such Majesty! I'm ready for my close-up!
:18:10. > :18:15.Your hip... I was pulling up, darling. Very well done! Let us
:18:16. > :18:20.begin with Natalie and Artem. I don't understand, you gave them an
:18:21. > :18:22.eight because you wanted much more foxtrot and less swishing. This
:18:23. > :18:31.looks like the foxtrot American Smooth to me. There was - there was
:18:32. > :18:36.three bars - one, two, three, three, two, three, four. Out he comes -
:18:37. > :18:41.wallop! That is all we got. I do understand. You want the performance
:18:42. > :18:45.level to be high. But, you know, it is an American Smooth, which I
:18:46. > :18:51.understand, it is much freer. I just like to see a little bit more of the
:18:52. > :18:55.foxtrot if it is an American Smooth foxtrot. If it is an American Smooth
:18:56. > :18:59.waltz, I want to see more in the hold. As lovely as it was, for me,
:19:00. > :19:04.it lacked a little bit of foxtrot feel. Fair enough. Darcey, let me
:19:05. > :19:11.ask you about Ashley's rumba. It is a very difficult dance. He did
:19:12. > :19:15.great, didn't he? What he got was being sensual and fluid without
:19:16. > :19:24.looking too feminine. It is very easy to look feminine. But he was
:19:25. > :19:28.very strong and loving towards her. Everything was directed at her. He
:19:29. > :19:36.was very masculine in the role. That is not easy. Bruno, let me ask you
:19:37. > :19:43.about Abbey and Aljaz. The first perfect - they got four tens. You
:19:44. > :19:48.couldn't tell who was the professional dancer? She performed
:19:49. > :19:52.like a leading lady. We have two professional dancers there. Your
:19:53. > :19:57.eyes are drawn to her. Talk about blossoming. This is an incredible
:19:58. > :20:00.achievement. The girl, the confidence, she really gave the
:20:01. > :20:06.performance of the night for me. Brilliant. Craig, we were all aghast
:20:07. > :20:12.because you got out the ten. For you, because it is dusty, when you
:20:13. > :20:24.pull it out, you want to go, "Look what I'm doing!" Look at your face.
:20:25. > :20:28.Livid. Is it because of the gravitas of the situation? No, I don't know
:20:29. > :20:37.why that is. Or do you hate being happy? I love being happy. Claudia,
:20:38. > :20:41.I'm there to do a job, it is to hold paddles from 1 to 10. I don't have
:20:42. > :20:48.to get excited about it. It is part of the job, darling. I have to ask
:20:49. > :20:52.you about Patrick and Anya. You only gave them an eight. Do you think you
:20:53. > :20:57.could have given them a bit more? No, I believe I'm right. He was
:20:58. > :21:02.flat-footed. I loved the polka section. He is very good at that. It
:21:03. > :21:08.was fast, furious, it was clean. But there was a lift that I thought was
:21:09. > :21:16.a little bit unstable. When she landed, he overspun her ever so
:21:17. > :21:22.slightly. Oh God! Stop! No, OK, don't have a go at him. It is that
:21:23. > :21:26.time. I know. It is being picky. And there's being unfair. No, mine was a
:21:27. > :21:33.fair comment, actually. It's true. OK. Next week, there's the
:21:34. > :21:38.swing-a-thon. Oh yes! Can you remind everybody what does that mean? All
:21:39. > :21:42.the six remaining couples come on to the floor and they do a cross
:21:43. > :21:46.between Lindyhop, jive, swing dancing and one by one, they get
:21:47. > :21:51.voted off. The first one out gets one extra point. Second one out two
:21:52. > :21:57.and so on. The one that's remaining at the end of the whole thing gets
:21:58. > :22:02.six extra judges' points which can make so much difference. It is truly
:22:03. > :22:06.an exhausting dance! To confirm, it is you four that decide, you judge
:22:07. > :22:11.together as you watch? We do, indeed. There will be arms flying
:22:12. > :22:18.around! I can only imagine that! Let's hear it for the judges.
:22:19. > :22:22.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE So far, two couples have secured their place in
:22:23. > :22:29.next week's Strictly swing-a-thon. Who will be joining them? Over to
:22:30. > :22:34.you, Tess. Thank you, Claudia. Now, four couples are still waiting to
:22:35. > :22:39.learn their fate. One will join Mark and Iveta. Who will be the critics'
:22:40. > :22:44.choice and who is waking up to bad reviews? Time to reveal all.
:22:45. > :23:03.In no particular order, safely through to next week are Sophie and
:23:04. > :23:07.Brendan. Thank you very much. Well done.
:23:08. > :23:26.Back to dance again, next Saturday are Natalie and Artem. Thank you.
:23:27. > :23:39.So that means Susanna and Kevin and Ashley and Ola. One of you is safe,
:23:40. > :23:42.one of you is in the dance-off. I can reveal that the couple in the
:23:43. > :23:57.bottom two tonight who will compete in the dance-off is Ashley and Ola.
:23:58. > :24:03.So, Susanna and Kevin, congratulations, you are through to
:24:04. > :24:08.next Saturday! Thank you. Thank you. Ashley and Ola, please come over and
:24:09. > :24:13.join me. Come on over. Sorry to see you guys here. Stand here. Craig,
:24:14. > :24:18.you said on the night that you really loved Ashley and Ola's rumba.
:24:19. > :24:22.What do you want to see them do differently? A little bit more hip
:24:23. > :24:27.action. If you put the slightest amount in, that will please all four
:24:28. > :24:32.of us. I said about more expression in your free arm, you are so
:24:33. > :24:36.busyworking some of the turns, you sometimes forget the free arm. So
:24:37. > :24:43.try and engage one or two moments of that in this dance-off. You did do a
:24:44. > :24:50.brilliant job. Do exactly the same. Your first time in this position.
:24:51. > :24:56.How are you feeling? Oh... Nervous. Ready to fly the magic carpet again?
:24:57. > :24:59.I have to go up there again! Very nervous, but you can only do your
:25:00. > :25:04.best. Yes. We wish you the best of luck. We will see you later on.
:25:05. > :25:11.Claudia, over to you. Thank you, Tess. I'm here with the rest of our
:25:12. > :25:15.saved couples. They are giddy, all coming up here. Sometimes you come
:25:16. > :25:18.up here and it is really tense, but you are cuddling each other. How
:25:19. > :25:22.much did you love dancing to that song on Saturday night? I would
:25:23. > :25:27.happily dance it again. Before they announced my name, I changed my
:25:28. > :25:31.mind! Natalie and Artem, you were emotional on Saturday night because
:25:32. > :25:37.I know it was a big old performance and it was an emotional song. How
:25:38. > :25:41.happy are you that you are through? Delighted. Saturday night was
:25:42. > :25:46.literally the best night of my life! Was it? I was so thrilled to be
:25:47. > :25:51.dancing again. I'm so happy for you. You are not crying, which is good?
:25:52. > :25:55.No, no. I don't totally mean that! I don't want you to cry. I like it
:25:56. > :26:03.when you are happy crying! I will stop speaking! How will you cope
:26:04. > :26:06.with two dances next week? You have working, babies - will you be
:26:07. > :26:10.alright? I hope so. I want to say thank you to everyone who voted for
:26:11. > :26:15.us because although the dance, from my point of view, I didn't dance it
:26:16. > :26:19.perfectly, if it made someone smile, I'm so grateful. I know. You were
:26:20. > :26:26.down in the bottom two. You were touching heads. It was so cute.
:26:27. > :26:29.Meerkats do that! If all that Saturday Night Fever wasn't enough
:26:30. > :26:39.for you, don't panic because here is the gorgeous Zoe!
:26:40. > :27:03.# You can tell # By the way I walk... #
:27:04. > :27:13.It Takes Two gives you dance fever every night of the week! It Takes
:27:14. > :27:19.Two is on every week night on BBC Two at 6.30pm. Mark and Iveta and
:27:20. > :27:23.Ashley and Ola, you are about to face the dance-off. I feel like we
:27:24. > :27:27.have been here before, Mark. You got emotional on Saturday night. You
:27:28. > :27:31.have formed a very special bond. What is your plan of action for
:27:32. > :27:38.dance-off number four? I'm going to bounce! Are you? I'll try! Of course
:27:39. > :27:46.you will do it. Enormous luck. You are brilliant. Thank you. Please get
:27:47. > :27:52.into position. Good luck, Iveta. Ashley, this is your first time in
:27:53. > :27:56.the dance-off. Are you gutted? Yes and it is what it is. I have to go
:27:57. > :28:00.up there on the carpet again and have the time of my life. Hip
:28:01. > :28:06.action? Oh yes, loads of that this time. You will do great. Enormous
:28:07. > :28:09.luck. With the final just three weeks away, nobody wants to leave

:33:28. > :33:34.Bruno chooses you, you are safe. I would like to see Ashely and Ola
