:04:07. > :04:12.course superstar magician, Dynamo! What a shame Craig wasn't here to
:04:13. > :04:14.see it. Don't panic, Tess, Dynamo taught me a thing or two before he
:04:15. > :04:30.vanished. Watch this! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:04:31. > :04:35.I'm real! Now, that is magic, Claudia. Yes.
:04:36. > :04:43.And that's a relief. Let's welcome or judges, Craig, Darcey, Len and
:04:44. > :04:44.Bruno. APPLAUSE
:04:45. > :04:48.Tonight is the semi-final results show and we'll find out which
:04:49. > :04:53.couples will make it through to the Strictly 2013 grand finale. Are you
:04:54. > :04:58.ready? I am. That's right. On Saturday
:04:59. > :05:02.night, the famous five took to dance floor, but with only four places,
:05:03. > :05:07.one of the couples must leave the show tonight.
:05:08. > :05:12.The scores will be combined with your votes and the couples with the
:05:13. > :05:16.lowest votes will have to do ballroom battle in the most dawning
:05:17. > :05:22.dance-off yet. The judges will have to decide who to send through to the
:05:23. > :05:32.final. Also on the show, with a spell bounding routine, we have a
:05:33. > :05:39.great performance from Celine Dionne. We'll discuss the action
:05:40. > :05:44.from Saturday night and see the final Len's Lens of the series.
:05:45. > :05:55.Let's remind ourselves of all the drama from the Strictly semi-final.

:06:00. > :06:05.the couples are here. Time to dance! Semi-finals week. Nothing to lose.
:06:06. > :06:10.I've got a lot of work to do. Aye for Strictly.
:06:11. > :06:13.Ten minutes before the show and I'm still not dressed. You are going to
:06:14. > :06:17.have to go. Semi-final night, we are all feeling the nerves. It's a fight
:06:18. > :06:22.for the final. Four will waltz on, one will walk off.
:06:23. > :06:24.May the best dancer win. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,
:06:25. > :06:37.three, two, one... I know you have got another dance to
:06:38. > :06:43.come. If you can dance that to this standard, 100% you are in the final.
:06:44. > :06:51.It was brilliant. I was not expecting that score. I really loved
:06:52. > :06:56.it. Truly a Prince Charming. So
:06:57. > :07:05.beautiful. I loved doing that waltz. Loved it. I'm so proud of you. Very
:07:06. > :07:09.emotional here, but brilliant. The attitude you brought to the dance
:07:10. > :07:14.was something else. You really, really made yourself glow with this
:07:15. > :07:17.dance. I looked up and they were all on their feet. That is the best
:07:18. > :07:22.feeling. I thought it was terrific. Well
:07:23. > :07:32.done. Thank you, Len. Shining again. Yeah, yeah... You are
:07:33. > :07:41.amazing. I think it was really truly amazing.
:07:42. > :07:52.Flying into that final, you will be, you really will be. Woo...
:07:53. > :07:59.What a dance routine! I'm telling you, you sizzled out there, girl.
:08:00. > :08:04.Fingers crossed it's enough to get in the final.
:08:05. > :08:11.There was attack there, but there was no grrrr... The whole dance was
:08:12. > :08:12.full of verve and energy. The audience loved the dance and I loved
:08:13. > :08:21.doing it. I loved that performance, really
:08:22. > :08:28.well done. For me, your best performance to date. We got a ten. I
:08:29. > :08:35.thought that was never going to happen. Full of energy. There was no
:08:36. > :08:42.holding back. It was all-or-nothing. The final or bust. A little bit
:08:43. > :08:53.heavy afoot for me. Thank you so much. Well done. You've got the full
:08:54. > :08:58.package. Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours! See you next week in the
:08:59. > :09:03.final. 39 again! Woo!
:09:04. > :09:11.Now that is what you call a semi-final. I'm telling you,
:09:12. > :09:15.Natalie, 40 points, joint top with Abbey and Ash. Down the bottom,
:09:16. > :09:25.Patrick and Anya, that was a semi-final to remember.
:09:26. > :09:30.All five couples desperately want to make it through to next week. But
:09:31. > :09:31.who is in the final and who could be facing the end of the road?
:09:32. > :09:40.I have the results. In no particular order, the first
:09:41. > :09:52.couple safely through to the final is...
:09:53. > :10:07.Sophie and Brendan! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:10:08. > :10:39.Abbey and Aljaz! Thank you!
:10:40. > :10:41.And now, the first couple who must fight for survival in the dance-off
:10:42. > :11:02.is... Patrick and Anya.
:11:03. > :11:06.Natalie and Artem, Susannah and Kevin, you are all still in danger.
:11:07. > :11:10.We'll have to wait a little longer to discover your fate. For now,
:11:11. > :11:18.Patrick and Anya, please come and join me.
:11:19. > :11:21.Oh, Patrick and Anya. Our first couple in the dance-off.
:11:22. > :11:24.You are one dance away from the final. What is going through your
:11:25. > :11:28.head right now? Let's get on with it. What are we waiting for? Come
:11:29. > :11:34.on, let's dance. It's getting dark. Don't prolong the pain any more.
:11:35. > :11:38.Yeah! On Saturday night, you dance adds waltz and paso doble. You must
:11:39. > :11:43.now decide which of those you want to perform in the dance-off. Which
:11:44. > :11:48.will it be? I prefer to do the waltz. Your highest scoring routine
:11:49. > :11:53.of the night? Yes. Makes sense. Craig, you gave Patrick a 9 for his
:11:54. > :11:57.waltz on the night. How can he secure a place in the final? Well, I
:11:58. > :12:02.really loved that dance. I'm so pleased you chose to do the waltz.
:12:03. > :12:07.It suits you down to the ground, you do a beautiful waltz. Just drive it
:12:08. > :12:12.a little bit more. That would be my advice because it was absolutely
:12:13. > :12:15.fantastic. Drive a bit more and keep it smooth, always smooth. Very best
:12:16. > :12:20.of luck in the dance-off. See you later on. Claudia, over to you.
:12:21. > :12:26.Thank you, Tess, I'm here with, I'm going to say it, the finalists!
:12:27. > :12:32.The finalists of Strictly Come Dancing, 2013. So fill, are you
:12:33. > :12:35.surprised? This is a big deal. I'm really surprised. I'm a bit lost for
:12:36. > :12:39.words. Thank you, Brendan, for helping me get to the final, the
:12:40. > :12:47.amazing and thank you to everyone that supported us. Incredible.
:12:48. > :12:52.Brendan? I have fog in the eyes, that's all. It's been a long time
:12:53. > :13:01.getting here and I am so blooming proud.
:13:02. > :13:05.Look at you. You are also crying. I'm not. You are crying a bit, Abbey
:13:06. > :13:11.Clancy. You just don't want it to end? I don't want to do the final, I
:13:12. > :13:17.don't want to do anything. We can check with the controllers. You want
:13:18. > :13:21.it to continue. A huge well done. And Aljaz, you are brand-new and you
:13:22. > :13:24.are in the final? I know. I'm over the moon. Thank you.
:13:25. > :13:27.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Very, very well done. You dance sod
:13:28. > :13:32.beautiful will you on Saturday night. Thank you. In next week's
:13:33. > :13:37.Grand Final, all the couples will have to perform the much anticipated
:13:38. > :13:40.show dance here to inspire or possibly terrify the couples are the
:13:41. > :13:41.Ryaning world exhibition dance champions, so please put your hands
:13:42. > :16:58.together for Craig and Michelene. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:16:59. > :17:02.Absolutely amazing. Let's hope all the couples were taking note for
:17:03. > :17:08.their show judges next week. Now it's time to welcome the judges.
:17:09. > :17:12.Thank you very much. For the last time. In the series, we
:17:13. > :17:20.can chat, but we can't do it alone, that would be ridiculous. Let's
:17:21. > :17:23.welcome Len's Lens. This is of course the part of the
:17:24. > :17:27.show where we talk about the details that perhaps we couldn't explain on
:17:28. > :17:32.Saturday night. First up, a clip from you, Bruno? Yes. I think that
:17:33. > :17:40.you would like to be Knighted. Look at this adorable moment. Here we go.
:17:41. > :17:47.Divine. Look at that. It's the closest thing I have to Royalty.
:17:48. > :17:51.Let's look back on Saturday night. Len, let me talk to you about
:17:52. > :17:55.Patrick and Anya. This is their paso. You said there wasn't enough
:17:56. > :18:05.shaping. This looks like shaping to me. Look at him. No, no, no. May I
:18:06. > :18:09.stand? You can always stand. Talk to me about paso shaping? Right, well,
:18:10. > :18:14.there are certain parts where the girl is the cape. Sometimes she
:18:15. > :18:20.becomes the ball and, on that particular movement, Anya is coming
:18:21. > :18:29.at him and he is the matador and the bull is coming by and he did it like
:18:30. > :18:38.this, like a waiter, "would you like a vol-au-vent".
:18:39. > :18:46.He didn't is the sense of that. OK. Darcey is properly giggling. I like
:18:47. > :18:51.that! Very polite. . You loved Sophie and Brendan's lifts. We have
:18:52. > :18:56.clipped up all the lifts. As a dancer, talk me through this? Her
:18:57. > :19:01.lines as well, her shoulders are down, she's not making any effort.
:19:02. > :19:06.The shaping of her legs as well. Everything, but also out of the
:19:07. > :19:12.lifts, coming out is difficult. She came out of that incredibly graceful
:19:13. > :19:17.with no ease, really, really stunning.
:19:18. > :19:23.You hate giving anybody more than 2, it doesn't make you feel good. It's
:19:24. > :19:28.uncomfortable, but you did get out your 10 for Natalie and Artem. What
:19:29. > :19:35.made it pop for you? It's technical. When she does all the turns and
:19:36. > :19:38.spins, she spots Artem each time beautifully and that keeps you
:19:39. > :19:43.completely on track and that, I have to say, talks a lot of hard work and
:19:44. > :19:47.practise. She's incredible. She's been so
:19:48. > :19:50.natural from the beginning and it's culminated in her getting a perfect
:19:51. > :19:55.score which was fantastic. Very good for them. We'll end Len's
:19:56. > :20:00.Lens with a clip of our favourite judges on earth. This is your guys
:20:01. > :20:08.on earth, dancing, you can't help yourselves. Keep dancing...
:20:09. > :20:10.Look at you! We love you. Thank you so much.
:20:11. > :20:23.Let's hear it for the judges. Two cluckly couples are through to
:20:24. > :20:27.the final, but who'll be joining them? Tess has the results -- two
:20:28. > :20:32.lucky couples. You can feel the tension as both
:20:33. > :20:35.couples are desperate to dance in next week's final but only one of
:20:36. > :20:39.them will make it through. It's now time to reveal all. One of you is
:20:40. > :20:40.safe and one of you will dance in next week's final. One of you is in
:20:41. > :20:54.the dance-off. I can now reveal that the couple in
:20:55. > :21:05.the bottom two tonight who will compete in the dance-off is...
:21:06. > :21:13.Natalie and Artem. So Susannah and Kevin,
:21:14. > :21:19.congratulations, you are through to next week's final. Natalie and
:21:20. > :21:26.Artem, please come on over and join me, guys.
:21:27. > :21:31.Come on over. So, this is a shock result. You were joint top of the
:21:32. > :21:35.leaderboard on Saturday night. How do you feel to find yourselves in
:21:36. > :21:41.this position in the dance-off? Every chance to dances is a bruv
:21:42. > :21:45.ling so you will take it as that. -- privilege. On Saturday night, you
:21:46. > :21:48.performed two dances, the salsa and the Argentine tango. We are now
:21:49. > :21:54.going to ask you to choose which one of those dances you would like the
:21:55. > :22:02.perform in the Tansoff. -- dance-off. Which one will it be? The
:22:03. > :22:07.Argentine tango. Darcey, this is their lowest scoring dance, a brave
:22:08. > :22:12.move. What can they do to better it? I really like that, Natalie, I like
:22:13. > :22:16.that you are going for something to improve that, not that there was
:22:17. > :22:20.much to improve because it was a beautiful performance. It didn't get
:22:21. > :22:24.the full score your salsa did. The finesse and technique is there. I
:22:25. > :22:30.would only say, tell a story with attitude, just give it even more if
:22:31. > :22:38.you can. It will only be a tiny bit more because it was a fabulous
:22:39. > :22:44.performance and I really like it. Do you have numb? I'll dig it out from
:22:45. > :22:48.see ya! See you in the dance-off. Claudia, over to you.
:22:49. > :22:52.Higham here with three of the final USes. I can't even imagine how that
:22:53. > :22:57.felt for you under those lights. What are you thinking right now? You
:22:58. > :23:02.are a finalist? Well, that is absolutely thrilling, absolutely
:23:03. > :23:05.amazing and thrilling, but it's absolutely terrifying thinking that
:23:06. > :23:08.you might be in the dance-off and I'm thrilled to bits with Kevin
:23:09. > :23:13.because it's his first year and he's in the final!
:23:14. > :23:17.I know. We thought you were going to collapse, you went straight into
:23:18. > :23:20.her? I know, didn't shave my chest for nothing!
:23:21. > :23:23.See, it was worth it. Huge congratulations. You are in the
:23:24. > :23:27.final! Yes! Before the tension becomes too much
:23:28. > :23:32.to bear, we have a very special Christmas gift for you. The music

:27:59. > :28:05.I'm here with Patrick and Anya and Natalie and Artem. They are about to
:28:06. > :28:09.face the most important dance-off of the series. Both couples performed
:28:10. > :28:12.twice on Saturday night and have chosen which dance they would like
:28:13. > :28:17.the perform again for the judges in a bid to get to the final. Sorry to
:28:18. > :28:22.see you both here again but you said to Tess earlier, come on, let's do
:28:23. > :28:27.it? Yes. Was it an easy choice, the waltz? It wasn't, but I loved doing
:28:28. > :28:35.it more than the paso. Well that'll do it. More from the heart. It's
:28:36. > :28:39.more me than that the -- than the paso.
:28:40. > :28:44.Please get it to position, Patrick and Anya.
:28:45. > :28:48.Natalie and Artem, it's a shock for you two to be here. How are you
:28:49. > :28:56.feeling? I'm feeling great. I've had an incredible 12 weeks, I'm thrilled
:28:57. > :29:00.to have made it so far and I've just loved the dancing so I'll dance
:29:01. > :29:05.again - thank you! You will. Why did you choose the Argentine tango which
:29:06. > :29:09.you didn't get full marks for? Just because we loved it. Yes, I think
:29:10. > :29:12.that was our favourite dance. Enormous luck.
:29:13. > :29:19.The stakes are high for both our couples. First to dance with for

:33:57. > :34:00.Craig, who is your finalist? Both dancers were absolutely
:34:01. > :34:06.sensational, but I'm going for Natalie and Artem.
:34:07. > :34:12.Well done, Natalie and Artem. Darcey, who would you like to see in
:34:13. > :34:15.the final? Both gave a stronger performance second time around. Very
:34:16. > :34:20.difficult. But I'm going to say Natalie and
:34:21. > :34:25.Artem. Two votes for you, Natalie and
:34:26. > :34:30.Artem. If Bruno now chooses to save you, that means you are indeed
:34:31. > :34:34.through to the final. Bruno who do you want to send
:34:35. > :34:39.through to next week? Oh, they were both great, but I think for me,

:34:44. > :34:48.and Artem and I would like to save them.
:34:49. > :34:54.That means we are going to have to say goodbye to Patrick and Anya.

:35:43. > :35:49.Anya Garnis is an incredible dancer and choreographer, ute absolutely...
:35:50. > :35:54.What is your highlight? Really, it may be a surprise, but being in the
