:04:03. > :04:06.They are excited! A huge thank you to our brilliant dancers to r that
:04:07. > :04:11.incredible performance. Six couples took to the floor to fight for their
:04:12. > :04:18.place in next week's semi-final. One of our dance duos must leave the
:04:19. > :04:22.competition tonight. That's right! The judges' scores have been
:04:23. > :04:25.combined with your votes and the two couples with the lowest points will
:04:26. > :04:34.compete in the dreaded dance-off later on. Our judges will decide who
:04:35. > :04:38.to send through to the semi semi-finals. Please welcome our
:04:39. > :04:43.judges. APPLAUSE.
:04:44. > :04:57.Also on tonight's show, we have the Saturdays. We will look at the
:04:58. > :05:05.dances with the judges and Len's Lens. I got dressed before I came
:05:06. > :05:16.out today. I got some funny looks on the tube. Oh, the swingathon!
:05:17. > :05:27.It is not nice when you are having your hair spray done and they get it
:05:28. > :05:34.on your pasta! A few nerves which wouldn't normally be there.
:05:35. > :05:40.Down here, we have make-up. We are swinging tonight!
:05:41. > :05:46.My partner is looking fantastic. She's having her face put on. Very,
:05:47. > :05:51.very serious! Artem is getting rubbed up the right
:05:52. > :05:57.way. He is excited. I am excited. Are you excited? I hope so! Goodbye!
:05:58. > :06:04.It is the quarter-finals. Let's party. The audience are in. Have a
:06:05. > :06:13.look! If we are quiet, they will not notice! Look!
:06:14. > :06:16.Craig's seat. Bring it on - swingathon!
:06:17. > :06:30.Come on! About to go live. I am excited.
:06:31. > :06:38.Time for the show! Let's go. Count down to trans transmission...
:06:39. > :06:45.Five, four, three, two, one, zero. On air. Tonight not only will they
:06:46. > :06:49.dance a brand new routine, our couples will go head-to-head in the
:06:50. > :06:55.swingathon. Plenty of tricks!
:06:56. > :07:01.I am surprised you are still in one piece! You worked so hard this week.
:07:02. > :07:07.I am so proud. Seriously! You are amazing!
:07:08. > :07:15.That was just... Too much! One down. One to go. For me, you're
:07:16. > :07:23.in jeopardy after that dance. To me it went great!
:07:24. > :07:29.I'm feeling the love, darling. That was good fun. You gave us something
:07:30. > :07:32.I have not seen before. A sexy 10. A ten!
:07:33. > :07:38.Get in! The steps were there, but it lacked
:07:39. > :07:41.mood and atmosphere. You did a great job with that particular music.
:07:42. > :07:45.Eight. It is all about the swingathon now. We have put the
:07:46. > :07:50.passion behind us and the energy in front of us.
:07:51. > :07:57.You will look like a movie star and dance like a goddess. You have been
:07:58. > :08:03.the biggest surprise of this entire competition.
:08:04. > :08:12.There's plenty of life... I tell you. Thank you. I enjoyed myself
:08:13. > :08:15.tonight, thank you. You gave it to me. The intent was there - it was
:08:16. > :08:21.very good! Let's welcome our six stars back on
:08:22. > :08:28.to the dance floor oh for the Strictly Come Dancing swingathon
:08:29. > :08:35.sclasmt -- swingathon! It was Susanna who
:08:36. > :08:40.was the first one to go. I loved the swingathon. I made a few
:08:41. > :08:45.mistakes, which I am gutted about. It was so much fun. It was great!
:08:46. > :08:56.Winning tonight's swingathon are Natalie and Artem.
:08:57. > :09:03.Swingathon! Whoa! What a great night! Pat tick up there. Natalie up
:09:04. > :09:09.there. At the bottom - oh, Susanna! But, the swingathon really brought
:09:10. > :09:14.the whole thing to life. Full on, flat out and fabulous!
:09:15. > :09:22.So, that is how things were looking at the end of Saturday night. All
:09:23. > :09:25.our couples want to dance in next week's semi-final. Who will be
:09:26. > :09:32.celebrating and who will be commiserating? I have the results.
:09:33. > :09:50.In no particular order, the first couple safely through to the
:09:51. > :09:57.semi-finals are... Sophie and Brendan.
:09:58. > :10:20.Thank you so much. Wow! Also back next week are... Abbey and
:10:21. > :10:29.Aljaz. Thank you!
:10:30. > :10:45.Another first couple who must fight for survival in the dance-off is...
:10:46. > :10:49.Ashley and Ola. Please come and join me. For the
:10:50. > :10:53.rest of you, I am afraid, you'll have to wait a little longer to
:10:54. > :10:59.discover your fate. Oh, I am sorry - we're here again!
:11:00. > :11:04.Yes! Craig, you said Ashley and Ola's
:11:05. > :11:08.dance put a smile on your face and their lifts were incredible. Why do
:11:09. > :11:13.you think they are here? I think it is largely to do with the audience,
:11:14. > :11:18.to be honest. We are all in agreeance. Everyone in the
:11:19. > :11:24.competition now - eights, nines and tens. It will be an audience vote, I
:11:25. > :11:29.think. I can only hope that when you do your dance-off, darling, you did
:11:30. > :11:40.it like you did, because it was pretty spectacular.
:11:41. > :11:45.Bruno, you said Ashley's hips needed more lubation. Is there anything
:11:46. > :11:49.else they can improve on? You came out and you gave everything you had.
:11:50. > :11:54.When it comes to hip action, sometimes you kind of over-step it.
:11:55. > :11:59.By doing so, the movement doesn't travel to the body, so it look looks
:12:00. > :12:03.stifled. In a way you have to control your footwork to allow the
:12:04. > :12:08.motion to go through your hip and keep it smoother.
:12:09. > :12:13.Do we have time? We can practise a bit, if you want! At the same time,
:12:14. > :12:18.don't get tense. What you did was very, very good. Constructive! How
:12:19. > :12:23.does it feel to be here again? I cannot wait to do the salsa again.
:12:24. > :12:28.The best of luck. Second time around. We will see you later in the
:12:29. > :12:35.dance-off. Thank you. I am here with two
:12:36. > :12:40.semi-finals. -- semi-finalists. What was so
:12:41. > :12:45.adorable was you, when they said your name, Brendan, he's been here
:12:46. > :12:49.since the beginning. Of time! I thought you were going to cry!
:12:50. > :12:53.I feel very emotional. We have all worked very hard to be here. I am
:12:54. > :12:57.proud of this girl, like you cannot believe. I get another week with
:12:58. > :13:02.her. That is great! Huge congratulations. What about you as
:13:03. > :13:05.well? Well done! Every single one of you loved
:13:06. > :13:11.Strictly. I remember you said to me the other day, you went, "I don't
:13:12. > :13:16.know what is going on, Strictly is my life." I know. I don't want it to
:13:17. > :13:23.end. One more week!
:13:24. > :13:27.It will end at some point. But of course, are you very over the moon?
:13:28. > :13:31.Over the moon and back... Back for next week!
:13:32. > :14:01.Huge congratulations. Now it is time for a special performance. Are the

:17:14. > :17:21.will perform on our Christmas special. Christmas Day, 5pm. Please
:17:22. > :17:27.welcome our judges. Thank you. Such a beautiful dress!
:17:28. > :17:32.This is when we discuss the details of Saturday night. We cannot do it
:17:33. > :17:40.alone - that would be ridiculous, wouldn't it! We have to be joined by
:17:41. > :17:45.Len's Lens. There you are - completely adorable!
:17:46. > :17:50.That was adorable! I want to talk about dances. I would
:17:51. > :17:55.like to bring up the swingathon. I know it is hard work for you.
:17:56. > :18:01.Natalie and Artem won. Why did they? Was it their energy? I think it was
:18:02. > :18:06.their energy. They kept the whole thing going from bar one right
:18:07. > :18:10.through to the end. It was full on, flat out and fabulous. It really
:18:11. > :18:16.was. Also she's obviously just loving it. Look at her face!
:18:17. > :18:20.She was bouncy all the way through. Her consistency, as Len said, it
:18:21. > :18:25.went all the way through. Let's talk about Ashley and his hip action. You
:18:26. > :18:30.mentioned this last week. To me, his hips looked extraordinary. Here is a
:18:31. > :18:35.clip. Len, tell me, what were you not happy with? I am telling you -
:18:36. > :18:40.there were certain moments he got his hips going. I may have to stand
:18:41. > :18:45.up now. Is that a problem? Never for me!
:18:46. > :18:49.Let's hear it for Len! APPLAUSE
:18:50. > :18:55.Natural hip action - side to side is not a problem for anyone.
:18:56. > :19:01.It's this forwards, backwards. Forwards. Now once you make that too
:19:02. > :19:04.big, if you take your leg too far forward you cannot get your weight
:19:05. > :19:09.on to your hip. It is the same when you go back. You cannot get your
:19:10. > :19:12.weight on to your hip. It should have been slightly more compact and
:19:13. > :19:16.small. That is what Darcy said.
:19:17. > :19:20.There's no time for it to travel through the legs and go to the hip,
:19:21. > :19:24.because the next bit comes, so you have to change step. So you have to
:19:25. > :19:28.- it is too fast. You have to allow it. . It is a club dance. It is
:19:29. > :19:33.usually on a packed floor. It is tiny. It is close - it is clubby. I
:19:34. > :19:38.do understand the problem for our pros because they are on a huge
:19:39. > :19:42.floor. They are trying to give it a dynamic look, so they try and give
:19:43. > :19:50.it plenty. It should have been slightly more compact. OK. Thank you
:19:51. > :19:54.very much, Len. Can we talk about Patrick... You gave them a ten. You
:19:55. > :19:58.said it was like nobody else was on the room. He could not take his eyes
:19:59. > :20:07.off Anya. It was so intense. I loved it. I got a chance to look into his
:20:08. > :20:11.world with her. Sometimes they it is too much. In rumba you can't do too
:20:12. > :20:16.much. Bruno agrees. Can I take to you
:20:17. > :20:21.about Abbey and Aljaz. You gave them a ten. I absolutely loved it. There
:20:22. > :20:26.is always something that kind of gets me. It is little things I have
:20:27. > :20:30.not seen before - it is the change of hold, change of arms. Look at
:20:31. > :20:36.this sequence. It is beautiful. Never missed the flow of the dance.
:20:37. > :20:40.It was wonderful. I think this girl has blossomed beyond belief.
:20:41. > :20:43.It really is beautiful. APPLAUSE
:20:44. > :20:50.You said that too Craig. It is true. That is why I said it. It is true.
:20:51. > :20:58.They are wonderful together. Let me talk about Sophie's tango. You loved
:20:59. > :21:01.it too, but you wanted more v - can you explain? The amount of room
:21:02. > :21:05.between the chest. They should be connected at the hip area and create
:21:06. > :21:10.a lot more space between themselves with the top lines. That is all that
:21:11. > :21:14.was missing. I loved it. I agree with Craig.
:21:15. > :21:21.Brendan did a fantastic job making a story out of that. They played that
:21:22. > :21:26.so well. Thank you - the judges! APPLAUSE
:21:27. > :21:32.If you would like to look backstage, then head to our website for all the
:21:33. > :21:41.goings on. That is Ashley - playing darts. Who will be joining the two
:21:42. > :21:45.couples in the semi-finals? Three couples are learning to wait their
:21:46. > :21:49.fate. Two are safe. One will have to convince the judges they are worthy
:21:50. > :21:54.of a place in the semis.le it is time to -- in the semis. It is time
:21:55. > :22:13.to reveal all. In no particular order, safely
:22:14. > :22:19.through to next week are... Susanna and Kevin.
:22:20. > :22:44.So that means one of you is safe and one of you is in the dance-off. I
:22:45. > :22:56.can reveal the couple in the bottom two tonight, who will compete in the
:22:57. > :23:02.dance-off is... Patrick and Anya. So, Natalie and Artem,
:23:03. > :23:07.congratulations. You are through to the semi-final. Please come over and
:23:08. > :23:13.join me. Sorry to see you here guys. Darcey
:23:14. > :23:16.you said they gave you something you had not seen before and you gave
:23:17. > :23:20.them a ten. How surprised are you that they find themselves in this
:23:21. > :23:26.position? I am horribly shocked they are here. You know, to get lost in a
:23:27. > :23:30.role only a true professional can get lost and have that ability to be
:23:31. > :23:34.comfortable enough and get lost in a role. Your focus is Anya was
:23:35. > :23:39.beautiful. Just your quality as well. I mean, I don't understand - I
:23:40. > :23:43.don't know what to say, because all you've got to do is what you did on
:23:44. > :23:47.Saturday night... APPLAUSE
:23:48. > :23:51.Good advice and do it well! Best of luck. See you later in the
:23:52. > :23:56.dance-off. Thank you. I am here with the rest
:23:57. > :24:00.of our semi-finalists. Huge congratulations. Kevin I wanted to
:24:01. > :24:04.run down there and cuddle you as well. I could see the emotion. Both
:24:05. > :24:09.of you were in tears. It was tricky, Saturday night. Did you think, right
:24:10. > :24:14.that is it? Well, actually, I felt so passionate during the dance I was
:24:15. > :24:18.really sort of saddened that hadn't come through. I was quite looking
:24:19. > :24:22.forward to getting a bit more passionate in the dance-off. If it
:24:23. > :24:26.was allowed I would like to go around to every single person's
:24:27. > :24:30.house who voted and said, thank you personally. Honestly, the public
:24:31. > :24:35.support getting us through is really, really, really amazing and I
:24:36. > :24:39.really appreciate it. I really appreciate it! Well done to both of
:24:40. > :24:43.you! Here you are - you are a
:24:44. > :24:48.semi-finalist. I didn't realise it would be this intense!
:24:49. > :24:55.I am so sorry! We never put a warning on the contract. Artem, I
:24:56. > :25:01.know it was tricky. Did you think maybe Len was not happy? We think
:25:02. > :25:07.that every week, I think. You just never know!
:25:08. > :25:10.Must have been scary there. It is pretty intense at this stage. We all
:25:11. > :25:15.want to keep dancing every week. We are thrilled to make it through to
:25:16. > :25:21.the semi-final now. Semi-final! Let's all have T-shirts made!
:25:22. > :25:24.These couples are safe. Ashley and Patrick are about to face the
:25:25. > :25:29.dance-off and neither want to leave the competition. Here's why.
:25:30. > :25:35.Strictly has been the most amazing experience of my life. It has been
:25:36. > :25:40.challenging, physically and mentally. When I started this show I
:25:41. > :25:44.had no idea I would ever get this far. I have learnt so much. I am
:25:45. > :25:49.actually loving dancing now. And I don't want to let myself down
:25:50. > :25:54.now and go out. I really want to stay in this competition.
:25:55. > :25:58.We are nearing the last stages of the competition. I am not really
:25:59. > :26:02.ready to go yet. There are more dances I don't know. I would love to
:26:03. > :26:06.do them. I have loved every minute. It has been really hard work. I
:26:07. > :26:11.would not have changed it for the world. Fantastic!
:26:12. > :26:17.APPLAUSE We have seen how much you both want
:26:18. > :26:21.to stay. Only one of you can make it through to the semi-final. This is
:26:22. > :26:26.your second time in the dance-off. The dance you did on Saturday, I am
:26:27. > :26:29.not just saying this, it was so brilliant - is there part of you
:26:30. > :26:34.that is excited about doing it again? I cannot wait to do it again.
:26:35. > :26:40.At least I get to do it twice. Whatever happens, happens - I will
:26:41. > :26:49.enjoy it. How do you feel? Good! He did me proud. I am proud of him this
:26:50. > :26:58.week. Enormous luck. Please go and get into position.
:26:59. > :27:02.APPLAUSE It gets so hard at this time because
:27:03. > :27:07.this is make or break. You were joint top of the leaderboard. Does
:27:08. > :27:13.that fill you with some confidence before you go into this dance-off?
:27:14. > :27:18.No. Just do it again and enjoy. Darcey loved how much you were
:27:19. > :27:23.intimate. Are you very disappointed? I love actually the challenge for
:27:24. > :27:28.Patrick this week. Like Darcey said, I have never seen that side of him.
:27:29. > :27:32.It would be amazing to do it again and experience that. Good luck when
:27:33. > :27:38.you do it. It is an incredibly tense time for our couples. Up first and
:27:39. > :27:40.fighting for a place in next week's show please go crazy for the
:27:41. > :28:10.brilliant Ashley and Ola. MUSIC

:30:53. > :30:55.# All you wanted to do was dance # Now my baby's dancing
:30:56. > :31:10.# But she's dancing with another # Hold your hand
:31:11. > :31:15.# Guess you wanted flowers # When you had the chance
:31:16. > :31:19.# Take it to every party # Because I remember how much you
:31:20. > :31:22.loved to dance # Two of the things I should have
:31:23. > :31:33.done # When I was your man
:31:34. > :31:45.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Well done, guys!
:31:46. > :31:50.Very well done. Well done to both of you. Standing ovations for both
:31:51. > :31:54.couples in the studio. Now we will find out which of you will be back
:31:55. > :31:54.to dance again next week in the semi-final.
:31:55. > :32:05.Judges, it is time to decide. We are about to ask each of you the
:32:06. > :32:08.couple you think deserves to be saved. The couple with the most
:32:09. > :32:12.votes will stay in the competition. The other couple will be out of
:32:13. > :32:20.Strictly Come Dancing. In the event of a tie the head judge, Len will
:32:21. > :32:27.have the final vote. Craig, who are you going to save?
:32:28. > :32:32.Well, one Couple who had a lot of crowd-pleasing steps, the other has
:32:33. > :32:37.style, class and a great quality of dance, so I am going with that
:32:38. > :32:44.couple and that couple is Patrick and Anya.
:32:45. > :32:48.Congratulations. One vote for you. Darcey, who do you think deserves to
:32:49. > :32:52.stay in the competition? It is so tough that both the men that are
:32:53. > :32:57.left in this competition are both in the dance-off. I find that very
:32:58. > :33:02.frustrating. They both did a better performance tonight as well.
:33:03. > :33:07.I'll have to go with the one that I felt gave more detail and more
:33:08. > :33:12.quality and that goes to Patrick and Anya.
:33:13. > :33:17.Well done - that is two votes to nil. If brun know votes to save you
:33:18. > :33:22.-- Bruno votes to save you that means you will be in the semi-final.
:33:23. > :33:29.Who do you want to stay in Strictly Come Dancing? It is so hard. I felt
:33:30. > :33:33.both of them, I agree with Darcey. They put everything they have into
:33:34. > :33:37.it. They were both better. It is like splitting hair at this level.
:33:38. > :33:42.To be honest, I would like to have you both on the semi-final. I have
:33:43. > :33:47.to go with Patrick and Anya. Congratulations Patrick and Anya.
:33:48. > :33:52.That means we'll see you next week in the semi-final. Ashley and Ola, I
:33:53. > :33:56.am sorry. Come on over. Come and join me.
:33:57. > :34:00.Come on! Come on!
:34:01. > :34:04.We are so sorry to see you go! Len, it cannot make any difference
:34:05. > :34:09.at this stage - do you agree with your fellow judges? I totally
:34:10. > :34:16.disagree with this verdict. For me, Ashley and Ola should have been
:34:17. > :34:20.through. But I know that you missed that last lift. However, I am only
:34:21. > :34:24.judging this one routine. If I had not seen it before I would not have
:34:25. > :34:29.known there would be a lift there. Plus, the cardinal sin in rumba is
:34:30. > :34:35.stepping forward on the heel. There is never a heel lead. Unfortunately,
:34:36. > :34:46.on that last routine that I saw Patrick did many and on that basis,
:34:47. > :34:51.I would have 100% gone for you. Head judge Len was in your corner.
:34:52. > :34:55.Have you enjoyed your time? It has been amazing, from meeting the crew
:34:56. > :34:59.to the make-up to the costumes, to the judges and the contestants. I've
:35:00. > :35:05.had a fantastic time and of course this lovely lady standing here -
:35:06. > :35:13.it's been a delight. Almost I will thank my fiance for doing such an
:35:14. > :35:17.incredible job... You have had a baby since you started this series.
:35:18. > :35:26.I am coming home! What has been your highlight? The salsa. I felt like we
:35:27. > :35:32.threw everything apart from the kitchen sink into it. I have enjoyed
:35:33. > :35:38.it so much dance with you. You are a lovely, lovely guy - good luck with
:35:39. > :35:43.everything you do! Off you go. Prepare for your last
:35:44. > :35:47.dance. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:35:48. > :35:53.It is so sad having to say goodbye at this stage in the competition.
:35:54. > :36:04.Ashley and Ola will join Zoe on It Takes Two, 6. 30pm on BBC Two. Join
:36:05. > :36:09.us next week at 6. 40pm when your final couples will perform two
:36:10. > :36:16.dances in the semi-final. Ashley and Ola!
