:05:01. > :05:04.to Strictly Come Dancing. What an incredible routine from our
:05:05. > :05:09.professional dancers. Who knew we had that many professionals? That is
:05:10. > :05:14.the standard we are looking for. Last night, six other couples
:05:15. > :05:20.performed. There were flashes of madness and brilliance, even a
:05:21. > :05:22.little flash of Anton's Lancs. Is anyone else ready for a little bit
:05:23. > :05:30.of dancing? CHEERING
:05:31. > :05:35.That is excellent news. Can you imagine if they had said no. The

:08:03. > :08:09.Just look at them, already for the battle about to go ahead. Just like
:08:10. > :08:12.last night, there is no public vote and none of couples will be leaving
:08:13. > :08:17.the competition this weekend. But the judges will be scoring their
:08:18. > :08:22.fancy footwork. Be warned, they are not afraid to put the boot in. There
:08:23. > :08:27.are scores will be carried over to next week. That is when you will get
:08:28. > :08:32.to cast your vote makes. The two couples with the lowest public vote
:08:33. > :08:39.will face each other in the dance off. No voting tonight, but plenty
:08:40. > :08:49.of dancing. It is time for stars to show us what they have got. First
:08:50. > :08:58.up, it is TV presenter Mark Wright and his partner, Karen Hauer. Before
:08:59. > :09:03.the series started, Mark's friends called him Markey No Moves. After
:09:04. > :09:15.three weeks of solid training, has Karen turned him into Markey Some
:09:16. > :09:20.Moves? Let's find out. TV presenter and Essex lad Mark Wright wants to
:09:21. > :09:25.set the record straight. Essex boys have I came this image that they are
:09:26. > :09:30.too cool to dance. That is not the case. We love to lead our hair
:09:31. > :09:39.down. You always see us on the dance floor. It is Karen. There were a few
:09:40. > :09:44.of the other boys who really wanted Karen and I got. Sorry, Lance. I am
:09:45. > :09:52.over the moon about dancing with Mark. He is extremely nice. I want
:09:53. > :09:56.to have someone I can have fun with. I see lots of potential, so I will
:09:57. > :10:02.make him work. This could go terribly wrong or terribly right.
:10:03. > :10:10.All I need to do is hit my mark on the night. That is so bad. We will
:10:11. > :10:18.start off with the cha-cha-cha. Is that a fast one? Two, three, and
:10:19. > :10:25.one. The dance is based around New York City. Mark is trying to
:10:26. > :10:31.challenge his New Yorker. New York and Essex are 1 million miles apart.
:10:32. > :10:40.I threw it back at her and said, come on, give me some Essex? She is
:10:41. > :10:50.trying. That is what I am talking about. The best teacher in the
:10:51. > :10:55.world, officially, guaranteed. I am trying to be New York, Karen is
:10:56. > :11:05.trying to be Essex. I hope we are speaking the same language when we
:11:06. > :11:06.hit the dance floor. Dancing the cha-cha-cha, Mark Wright and Karen
:11:07. > :12:42.Hauer. APPLAUSE
:12:43. > :12:52.What about that? What an opener. Thank you. Look at
:12:53. > :13:00.this, as standing ovation for your first dance. My biggest fear was on
:13:01. > :13:12.those steps, I did not think I could do it. I was petrified. He told me
:13:13. > :13:18.that I could not dance. Let's well, our amazing singers, Hayley, Lance,
:13:19. > :13:29.Andrea, Chris, and Dave Arch and his wonderful orchestra. Len, did Mark
:13:30. > :13:33.make all the right moves? It started off very encouraging, then you got
:13:34. > :13:41.overexcited and you started to go a little bit quickly. You wanted to
:13:42. > :13:46.get it over with. It is the truth. You started to go a bit quickly. I
:13:47. > :13:54.thought, I will let you get away with that. Then you start in the
:13:55. > :14:03.silly handstand. We love that, didn't we? I thought, that was a bit
:14:04. > :14:10.daft. Ignore that, carry on. Then you did the free Willy. I thought,
:14:11. > :14:15.what is going on here? You have got fantastic potential, as you said.
:14:16. > :14:21.You have just got to come down, keep on time and take out the free Willy
:14:22. > :14:32.and you will be fantastic. Thank you. Bruno. Mark, what you have got,
:14:33. > :14:38.what I like, you have attitude. You go out there with cocky confidence.
:14:39. > :14:45.You covered up the mistakes with great energy. I like to see that.
:14:46. > :14:49.You tried extremely hard. Obviously, your energy overrode the finesse of
:14:50. > :14:56.the steps. Control the energy, because it is good, and you will be
:14:57. > :15:02.so much better. Maybe Craig has something nice to say. I thought it
:15:03. > :15:10.was stilted. Your hands were very flat. Your shoulders were over the
:15:11. > :15:14.top. You need to camp that down. Your arm placement was decidedly
:15:15. > :15:20.dodgy all the way through. The handstand donkey cake has to go,
:15:21. > :15:27.darling. But I did love the caterpillar, going up stage, I
:15:28. > :15:35.thought that worked well. -- kick. Darcey. For me, I love the show
:15:36. > :15:44.man. You have to watch the cheeky shoulders. They bounce up and down
:15:45. > :15:47.every time you do your moves. Generally, I think you definitely
:15:48. > :15:53.have a future in this competition. You will go fire. Not bad for a
:15:54. > :15:59.first bands. You have definitely got some moves. Off you go, Mark and
:16:00. > :16:15.Karen. You are so cute. How relieved I read
:16:16. > :16:21.you? That was petrifying. The biggest thing for me was getting
:16:22. > :16:27.through it, and I did it. Do you feel emotional? I do, I want to stop
:16:28. > :16:35.talking. It has been hard. I got through the dance and I managed to
:16:36. > :16:41.complete it. You are the cutest. She will cuddle you. You did
:16:42. > :16:48.brilliantly. I am so proud of him. I knows he was petrified. Very well
:16:49. > :16:53.done. Before we find out your scores, let's find out how the
:16:54. > :17:04.leaderboard stood at the end of last night's performances.
:17:05. > :17:08.It's time to find out how Mark's done - he'll either be top, bottom,
:17:09. > :17:10.or somewhere in the middle. The judges scores are in.
:17:11. > :17:41.we were terrified. We are off and there is lots more to come. Jennifer
:17:42. > :17:47.is getting happy and Gregg will be cooking up a fruity number. I'll be
:17:48. > :17:51.stays in for a few weeks because have quite a few cooking pans.
:17:52. > :18:00.The next couple is Alison Hammond and her partner.
:18:01. > :18:03.When you?re being taught how to dance it?s important to listen to
:18:04. > :18:07.Not a problem for Alison - when Aljaz is talking she hangs onto
:18:08. > :18:23.TV presenter Alison Hammond is used to brightening up our day. And the
:18:24. > :18:28.roving reporter, I do everything, from celebrities to travelling the
:18:29. > :18:34.world. I'd just love my job. I have got no fears. I'm just going to take
:18:35. > :18:43.hold of this bubble, absorb it, jump around in it. I was already the
:18:44. > :18:47.dance. When Tess announced it was Aljaz Skorjanec, I was over the
:18:48. > :18:53.moon. I was so excited, I had to pick him up. I'm very fortunate to
:18:54. > :18:57.be the reigning champion of Strictly, and with an incredible
:18:58. > :19:03.partner with Alison, I'm going to do my best to hold onto the trophy.
:19:04. > :19:12.Yes, Aljaz! Action! The chat chat is all about the combination between
:19:13. > :19:17.the male and female. -- cha cha cha. I think it is the best way to start
:19:18. > :19:21.the competition. I'm so not getting bored. I think the fact that he is
:19:22. > :19:27.so gorgeous, I do not want to disappoint him. He is the sort of
:19:28. > :19:37.teacher you want to marry! I just love him, I am loving every minute
:19:38. > :19:42.of this. Today, I realise that this is based on the Bodyguard. I am in
:19:43. > :19:47.Whitney Houston. And now that you are the security guy, looking after
:19:48. > :19:52.me. I love it. You need to focus on your personality, be funny and
:19:53. > :19:55.cheeky. We're going to have so much fun. I know that nobody is going
:19:56. > :20:07.this week but I'm still really nervous. I want Aljaz to be proud of
:20:08. > :20:09.me. I hope years. -- he is. Dancing the cha cha cha, Alison Hammond and

:21:56. > :22:06.it is a standing ovation! Well done! The joy on your face!
:22:07. > :22:11.Ecstatic. I think we all enjoyed it as much as you did. Len was grinning
:22:12. > :22:26.from ear to ear! Bruno, did you enjoy it? V the diva! -- of Ivar.
:22:27. > :22:30.Yes, I really like that. There was a wholesome, uplifting radiance that
:22:31. > :22:37.you exude. The whole audience was there, lapping it up. It is
:22:38. > :22:43.wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. For the future, try to rule on the ball
:22:44. > :22:53.of your feet a bit more, but what a treat. What did you make of it? That
:22:54. > :22:57.is one of the most confident first-time performances I have ever
:22:58. > :23:01.seen. You were out there, really strutting your stuff. Bruno was
:23:02. > :23:06.right, it was a little flat-footed because you were wearing low heels.
:23:07. > :23:13.You have an extinct of gift for music and rhythm and dance. I
:23:14. > :23:20.thought it was exuberant and joyous. Goodness me! That is a lot coming
:23:21. > :23:25.from him. Darcey? It is true, Alison, you are infectious. You have
:23:26. > :23:28.such a wonderful, natural, moving style. I will never get bored of
:23:29. > :23:33.watching you. The boys are right, you need to polish the food work,
:23:34. > :23:42.but it was lovely. Thank you. -- footwork. You're my type of girl,
:23:43. > :23:46.big, bold and bouncy. That is what you want in the cha cha cha. You
:23:47. > :23:51.were good in the mornings, but you are fantastic at night. It is
:23:52. > :23:56.unanimous from the judges! Thank you very much. Take your bodyguard up
:23:57. > :24:20.the stairs. Alison and Aljaz! Your fellow dancers are screaming
:24:21. > :24:27.for you. What you think, the judges were nice? Craig said he had never
:24:28. > :24:31.seen such a confidence two confident first dance. I feel like I am in a
:24:32. > :24:38.dream, it is amazing! But it is real, isn't it! All we can hear day
:24:39. > :24:44.and night, is your laugh, walking down the corridors. You are having
:24:45. > :24:51.the time of your life? It has been the best experience. Really, it is
:24:52. > :24:55.partly because of you, you have been a great trainer and I have loved
:24:56. > :25:15.every minute. Only partly! Turnround, the scores are in.
:25:16. > :25:20.I would have been happy if I have got five! Very well done.
:25:21. > :25:22.They danced to Every Woman and we'd
:25:23. > :25:25.like to see if every woman, man and child at home is dancing too.
:25:26. > :25:28.No matter what your age or dance ability, if you move to
:25:29. > :25:32.Go to bbc.co.uk/strictly for more details.
:25:33. > :25:37.Still to come, Kristina and Simon's Jive, Frankie and
:25:38. > :25:47.Our next couple is Steve Backshall and his partner Ola Jordan.
:25:48. > :25:54.In the past Steve has come face to face with some of the most deadly
:25:55. > :25:58.creatures on the planet. Spiders, crocodiles, snakes. But now he has
:25:59. > :26:13.to face something far more terrifying ? Craig.
:26:14. > :26:23.Steve Backshall has been dancing with danger for a very long time.
:26:24. > :26:27.Since I was knee-high, I have gone after snakes and spiders and that is
:26:28. > :26:30.who I am in. I've summer in the Arctic and they did not change my
:26:31. > :26:42.clothes once. Now I have people putting make-up on me and doing my
:26:43. > :26:47.here. It is just beyond weird. When found out I had Ola as a dance
:26:48. > :26:50.partner, my fear factor went through the roof. He is dancing with me, of
:26:51. > :26:58.course he's going to be scared. But what a privilege. I'm quite an
:26:59. > :27:07.honest and strict person. I hope that Stephen is straight. I'm such
:27:08. > :27:11.after that we have the tangle for the first dance. Like the idea of
:27:12. > :27:19.sliding across the floor. That is more like a monkey. Bend your knees.
:27:20. > :27:26.This is so hard. It is so much information to take in. I'd don't
:27:27. > :27:30.want a spatula hand. My mind is screaming, saying it, I cannot
:27:31. > :27:33.handle it! Strictly is outside of my comfort zone but it is all about
:27:34. > :27:40.having the right gear. It is like a big expedition. Bandages and
:27:41. > :27:48.plasters. All you need to survive Strictly is this. This is
:27:49. > :27:53.ridiculous! I think you are ready now. Let's go and train. Now I feel
:27:54. > :28:15.that I can't tackle the tangle like a tiger. A glittery tiger.
:28:16. > :29:37.MUSIC: "Born to be Wild" by Steppenwolf.
:29:38. > :29:55.APPLAUSE AND CHEERING. Steve and Ola, easy Tiger! Anton's
:29:56. > :29:59.legs last night, Steve Backshall's shoulders tonight, what is a lady to
:30:00. > :30:05.do?! Spoiled for choice. Was he born to be wild? The muscles were a
:30:06. > :30:10.slight distraction for me. And then you did that wonderful cartwheel. It
:30:11. > :30:16.was lovely, except you did not point your feet or straight in your legs.
:30:17. > :30:20.Come on! You have got to make it pretty. You have got to make it
:30:21. > :30:26.pretty. He tends elbow, which is fine but you lost your frame very
:30:27. > :30:39.slightly. But have to say, it was a very, very strong performance.
:30:40. > :30:44.APPLAUSE. Darcey Hume act -- Darcey? The focus all the way through, you
:30:45. > :30:49.did not die. It is definitely your dance. You are a strong man. I had
:30:50. > :30:54.the same problem, I could not take my eyes off your arms. When they are
:30:55. > :30:58.that overdeveloped, you have to make sure that you stretch them. Because
:30:59. > :31:03.they look bent. When you come out of a hold, make sure you stretch your
:31:04. > :31:10.arms. But I'm looking for reducing the cheeky side next week. Well
:31:11. > :31:17.done. APPLAUSE. Len? Not quite a triumph, but definitely not a
:31:18. > :31:20.notepad. This competition is all about expectation. I thought, is
:31:21. > :31:27.usually comes, he has been in the jungle, but now come up it was very,
:31:28. > :31:30.very well done. It was clean and crisp and precise. You got a bit
:31:31. > :31:34.over a bit overaggressive at one stage, and then you lost your frame,
:31:35. > :31:46.but Steve, it was to reflect. Well done. -- to reflect. Natural enough
:31:47. > :31:51.for you, Bruno? -- chill. Somewhere between Popeye and Marlon Brando.
:31:52. > :31:57.You have to max I'd is, a smooth side, which you retained, during the
:31:58. > :32:04.lead, it is so difficult to read when you have never done it before.
:32:05. > :32:08.And then you went a bit Popeye, I thought you were going to split her
:32:09. > :32:14.in two, but you have great qualities. Qualities that you need
:32:15. > :32:15.to work on, and try to release the bulk little bit more. But again,
:32:16. > :32:30.wonderful. Well done. Our action man did not
:32:31. > :32:45.let us down tonight. Off you go, Steve and Ola.
:32:46. > :32:48.Well done. You must have been happy with those comments. Yes,
:32:49. > :32:58.constructive criticism is what we want. That was fantastic. They were
:32:59. > :33:03.really impressed. Ola is a brilliant teacher. Apart from anything else,
:33:04. > :33:11.everyone is staring at her dress. They are not looking at my feet. We
:33:12. > :33:27.were not looking at your feet, love. The scores are in. The judges score
:33:28. > :33:43.start Mac -- the judges' scores are in. Are you pleased? Yes. Next time,
:33:44. > :33:49.our animal expert could be dancing to something by Arctic monkeys, the
:33:50. > :33:59.Beatles, def Leopard, I have got loads of these, or the Eagles. So
:34:00. > :34:06.many, apologies. Up next, it is the star of Mrs
:34:07. > :34:12.Brown's boys, Jennifer Gibney, and her partner, new boy Tristan
:34:13. > :34:16.MacManus. For the last three weeks, they have been getting on
:34:17. > :34:23.brilliantly. What will Irish eyes be smiling when it comes to facing the
:34:24. > :34:27.judges? Let's find out. Actress Jennifer Gibney is looking forward
:34:28. > :34:34.to her Strictly debut. As long as she can get over her stage fright. I
:34:35. > :34:39.am really excited, fill of terror. Do not let me fault, please. The
:34:40. > :34:45.character I play is not renowned for her dancing skills. I would not say
:34:46. > :34:51.I have a dancing style, that would be a stretch. Tristan is Irish and
:34:52. > :34:59.so am I. I hope we have the luck of the Irish. She is great, she has a
:35:00. > :35:03.super personality. No one else can understand a word that we are
:35:04. > :35:08.seeing, but we can understand each other. It is like dancing with my
:35:09. > :35:15.little brother. If she likes her brother, I am all right. Let's start
:35:16. > :35:24.again. Let's do it again. Jennifer gets very frustrated. It is good. It
:35:25. > :35:28.shows you that her heart is there. You get some steps right and then
:35:29. > :35:35.you forget, there are more that, after that. I am so annoyed with
:35:36. > :35:41.myself. I am still struggling. I have decided to talk to somebody how
:35:42. > :35:47.this feels, Nicky Byrne, you will already him from Strictly. How are
:35:48. > :35:52.you getting on? It is exhausting. If I can give you any advice, that last
:35:53. > :35:59.moment when the voice-over says, dancing the jive, take a deep breath
:36:00. > :36:08.and go for it. Remember, we are proud of you. Do it for Ireland.
:36:09. > :36:16.Have fun. I hope we can make the judges happy on the big night.

:37:55. > :38:03.Jennifer and Tristan. Come over here, you too. That was such a
:38:04. > :38:13.physical routine. That looked exhausting. I managed without
:38:14. > :38:19.falling. She is happy with that. Darcey, the song is called Happy,
:38:20. > :38:26.are you? I was happily exhausted watching you. It is such a difficult
:38:27. > :38:31.bands, the jive. You really went for that. Tristan, I have to say, you
:38:32. > :38:36.did not hold back on the dance content. You gave her so much to
:38:37. > :38:42.think about. It is difficult, you have got to watch that the shoulders
:38:43. > :38:47.do not lift. That is what I was seeing a lot. If you think about
:38:48. > :39:02.that, but I know it is a difficult bands. -- dance. You look like you
:39:03. > :39:07.were enjoying it. Len? There was a touch of Riverdance in there. The
:39:08. > :39:14.problem was, as you did the jive, your feet were still in the river.
:39:15. > :39:28.The cakes and flakes could have been sharper. As Darcey said, the energy
:39:29. > :39:34.was up there. -- kicks and flicks. Overall, I was happy, because you
:39:35. > :39:40.got through it. Bruno? I am totally with you, trying to keep up with the
:39:41. > :39:46.Lord of the dance. He gave you lots of steps, and you did it. Next time
:39:47. > :39:52.you have to do it with more energy, sharper on the rhythm, and a little
:39:53. > :39:58.more presentation, but that is it. Encouraging. Craig? I thought your
:39:59. > :40:02.arms were all over the place. You have to be aware of what is
:40:03. > :40:08.happening with your arm, just because you have been let go off
:40:09. > :40:13.does not mean it can flail about. A little hunched of bag as well. You
:40:14. > :40:21.are leaning forward and over. It does not look good. When you did
:40:22. > :40:25.your Riverdance moment, I thought that was very lame. If you're going
:40:26. > :40:31.to put yourself on a pedestal, darling, you had better do something
:40:32. > :40:36.spectacular. When you broke called towards the end, you were flagging.
:40:37. > :40:45.This stance need stamina. You need to build your stamina. -- this
:40:46. > :40:51.dance. Go easy on her, it is weak one. I think she did well, didn't
:40:52. > :40:51.she, ladies and gents? APPLAUSE
:40:52. > :41:15.Jennifer and Tristan. Well done to both of you. Did you
:41:16. > :41:21.enjoy that? Was that a good experience? I loved every second of
:41:22. > :41:25.that. We thought you did as well. What about the cable and the
:41:26. > :41:32.ponies? That must have been terrifying? I loved every second off
:41:33. > :41:42.it. The scores are in. The scores are
:41:43. > :41:56.-- scores are in. We will take around. The jive is very hard, and
:41:57. > :42:06.next week you will do the waltz. Yes, we will take that. If this is
:42:07. > :42:14.not enough to satisfy your Strictly cravings, do not worry, you are only
:42:15. > :42:23.human. Join us online for all the gossip. You can also register to
:42:24. > :42:29.vote online. Who is next? Next is rugby star and model Thom
:42:30. > :42:36.Evans, and his partner, Iveta Lukosiute. If there is one thing and
:42:37. > :42:44.international rugby player is going to do, it is try, try and try again.
:42:45. > :42:50.Thom Evans is determined to tackle Strictly with his very best try yet.
:42:51. > :42:55.Being an ex-professional sportsmen, it is safety say the result was
:42:56. > :43:01.going to be that competitive side to me. I have been known to take my top
:43:02. > :43:09.off. So winning this costume does not feel that I'm comfortable. It is
:43:10. > :43:17.Iveta. I was ecstatic to get her as my partner. I think all the girls
:43:18. > :43:22.wanted to dance with Thom. I am so sorry we have put you with someone
:43:23. > :43:27.so physically repellent. It did seem like she was blushing a little bit.
:43:28. > :43:33.She has a lovely sense of humour. We are going to work so hard we are
:43:34. > :43:38.going to go straight to the final. Social media has been going mad
:43:39. > :43:44.about Thom, how handsome he is. Some people think he could be the
:43:45. > :43:52.world's most handsome man. I was told never to trust a man with brown
:43:53. > :44:00.eyes. Why is that? I do not know. Thom has been showing me some of his
:44:01. > :44:07.own moves. Quite interesting. The waltz is strange because it requires
:44:08. > :44:13.you to look away from your partner. I guess I will have to get used to
:44:14. > :44:17.it. I cannot wait to step out in front of all those people and give
:44:18. > :44:28.it my all. I feel like I was born for this. I am just checking out the
:44:29. > :44:45.sparkles. Dancing the waltz, Thom Evans and Iveta Lukosiute.
:44:46. > :46:13.MUSIC: "You Raise Me Up" by Susann Taylor.
:46:14. > :46:16.classy and elegant. Born to it, he said.
:46:17. > :46:18.You raised us all up with that routine!
:46:19. > :46:21.Len ? first waltz of the evening, what did you think
:46:22. > :46:29.I thought it was a little bit careful in places but I understand
:46:30. > :46:34.that. We want to get it neat and dainty. I thought your frame was
:46:35. > :46:38.good, there was a little mistake going on over there. He got off on
:46:39. > :46:42.the wrong foot for a little while but you are tempted to do the food
:46:43. > :46:47.work correctly, which I appreciate. A sweet, salsa. There is no
:46:48. > :46:54.inhibitions. I want you to get out there and shake your bum and really
:46:55. > :47:03.knocked my socks off. And Bruno's! Are you ready for that? Thank you so
:47:04. > :47:08.much! Listen, I have to say, it was so kind, so caring, you were just
:47:09. > :47:14.treating her like she was made of glass, like a child. You tried so
:47:15. > :47:18.hard to get everything right and they found that almost moving. I'm
:47:19. > :47:23.really appreciate that. You put a lot of work into it. You messed it
:47:24. > :47:32.up a little bit on the corner, more impetus, more drive next time. Come
:47:33. > :47:43.on, let's be more sexy! He is incorrigible. I think that you let
:47:44. > :47:47.Iveta down slightly when you did the turner. It is the man's job to keep
:47:48. > :47:55.the lady on balance. I felt that she had to escape a little earlier and
:47:56. > :47:58.catch up. Shaping of the hand, I was not impressed with your thumbs. Your
:47:59. > :48:04.right hand was too low. My usual things. The rise and fall is not
:48:05. > :48:08.through the knees, but through the feet. And Iveta did get away from
:48:09. > :48:14.you quite remarkably, almost by Anita will stop I do not know how he
:48:15. > :48:22.got back together but I did love it. And he loved it, after all of that!
:48:23. > :48:26.Darcey? I was expecting you to leave delete that lead to the ballroom
:48:27. > :48:30.dance, and because you were tall and elegant and strong with a good
:48:31. > :48:33.physique, you were playing it safe. That is understandable because it is
:48:34. > :48:37.your first time and are now but that is like. What I expect is for you to
:48:38. > :48:48.open your shoulders and stick out those packs. Be proud. And then you
:48:49. > :48:57.will look like you mean business. -- pecs. Thank you, Bruno. I'm sorry,
:48:58. > :49:11.Darcey! Are you going to take that on board? Yes. Off you go, have a
:49:12. > :49:16.team huddle. APPLAUSE AND CHEERING. Well done.
:49:17. > :49:23.You did great. They were talking about your thumbs and pecs, did he
:49:24. > :49:27.let you down? Now. For next week, when you end like that, I nearly
:49:28. > :49:34.wanted you to case. Is that too much? Just consider it! You have to
:49:35. > :49:40.have some build-up. Week four, just go in. Don't dilly-dally. Do it now.
:49:41. > :49:43.Don't do it now, keep us waiting! I'm so excited. Time to get the
:49:44. > :50:06.scores from the judges. I do happy with that? The judges
:50:07. > :50:09.were right, I'm messed up that one particular step, and will take their
:50:10. > :50:13.instructions on board and try to work that. We thought you were
:50:14. > :50:15.really brilliant. You did great. And well done, Iveta.
:50:16. > :50:17.If Thom and Iveta have blown your minds - good.
:50:18. > :50:37.Keep dancing! Keep dancing? That is easy.
:50:38. > :50:49.You made a mistake? What?! Shall we do the whole dance like this? Suite.
:50:50. > :50:57.Why are you laughing? Go away! Cha cha one... That's good.
:50:58. > :51:10.It's Casualty Star Sunetra Sarker and her partner Brendan Cole.
:51:11. > :51:13.So does that mean you're going to wear a chef's hat when Gregg dances?
:51:14. > :51:22.I think that would be too much but this is perfect. In the meantime,
:51:23. > :51:30.let's see how Sunetra has been getting on. Sunetra Sarker is most
:51:31. > :51:34.at home in the emergency department but can she hope the pressure of the
:51:35. > :51:38.Strictly ballroom? I did not realise how comfortable I felt in a hospital
:51:39. > :51:41.in the liking and stabbed on the dance floor. Adding to need a few
:51:42. > :51:45.doctors standing by for my first dance goes my heart is already in my
:51:46. > :51:52.mouth. I was so convinced that would not get Brendan, the legend, he is
:51:53. > :51:58.tall... Looked across an Sunetra was mine. This is the right match. The
:51:59. > :52:03.pressure of being Brendan Cole's partner is another thing entirely. I
:52:04. > :52:07.need somebody to whip me into shape. I am really upset. As long as we
:52:08. > :52:11.have the right energy, the fitness will come. I'm just keen to start
:52:12. > :52:15.working and see what she has got. Does not know what he has got
:52:16. > :52:21.himself in for because I laugh a lot and talk a lot but outside of that,
:52:22. > :52:26.I am a good student. For our first dance, we are doing the tango.
:52:27. > :52:38.Quick, sharp, and on point. Pretty full on. It said it, it should look
:52:39. > :52:44.smooth. -- a visit. I just cannot compose myself on the pivot. If I
:52:45. > :52:49.cannot by the end of my training session, what will happen? I will
:52:50. > :52:53.symbol five things as I think is necessary but you will get the
:52:54. > :53:03.pivots, I promise you. I do not want you make -- to make me Sybil Fayette
:53:04. > :53:10.because of me. To pivot or not to pivot, that is the question. Dancing
:53:11. > :53:20.the tango, Sunetra Sarker and Brendan Cole.
:53:21. > :54:57.Sunetra and Brendan! A cracking tango. Lots of drama. Setting the
:54:58. > :55:03.Hearts racing. I think left my heart on the dance floor. Brendan is
:55:04. > :55:13.happy. Let's find out what the judges thought. Carry on, Doctor,
:55:14. > :55:23.please! That was a firecracker of a tango. Wasn't it?! Beautiful. It was
:55:24. > :55:29.very funny because you have a wonderful bent back, but somehow
:55:30. > :55:33.when you are on hold, you go a bit wobbly. I think it is that question
:55:34. > :55:40.of experience, controlling your assets, please! Do you understand
:55:41. > :55:43.what I mean? Brendan was trying to put you in your place and you were
:55:44. > :55:52.kind of going a bit wobbly. I'm telling you again, the first week,
:55:53. > :55:55.great promise. Good girl. Craig? You have a great sense of rhythm which
:55:56. > :56:00.is a good beginning. You acted very well, but we expect that from you,
:56:01. > :56:06.darling. But frame is what it is all about and you did not have that
:56:07. > :56:13.night. Sadly. She could learn the frame, the stance? You no more than
:56:14. > :56:22.me, Brendan. I like the attack and the story and you did some beautiful
:56:23. > :56:25.things. The neck, the feeling. But it is true, when you get into a
:56:26. > :56:29.hold, it has got to be strong. But you can to the energy from the
:56:30. > :56:37.beginning until the end. Well done. -- kept the energy. I thought of the
:56:38. > :56:43.war is far more right than wrong about that dance. -- there was far
:56:44. > :56:48.more right. The biggest problem is your left arm, she has it here and
:56:49. > :56:56.then it goes up and back. Once you get your arm going, you are OK.
:56:57. > :57:00.However, let me say... You write there? The operations over some of
:57:01. > :57:08.the patient is still alive. You will be back next week and I'll look
:57:09. > :57:22.forward to seeing you. Thank you. Sunetra and Brendan, ladies and
:57:23. > :57:32.gentlemen! Well done. What you right? -- are you all right. A
:57:33. > :57:39.firecracker of a tango, you must be happy! That was like stepping up to
:57:40. > :57:45.take a penalty. How can you say such a thing? I can only apologise. You
:57:46. > :57:52.love Strictly and you absolutely love Brendan. Is it like working
:57:53. > :57:58.with a Jedi master? I am constantly bossing him about, and he lets me do
:57:59. > :58:05.it. That is true. Week one, you let them try,... Good luck with that.
:58:06. > :58:32.The scores are in. Are you happy? Yes. Your baby is
:58:33. > :58:36.watching, and he is nine. I'm sorry did not get nine, but hollow, Noah,
:58:37. > :58:39.I hope you are going to bed soon. Ask for whatever you want, get on a
:58:40. > :58:40.trampoline, have chocolate! There are three more
:58:41. > :58:42.couples left to dance. The wait is almost over for
:58:43. > :58:44.Gregg Wallace, First up is
:58:45. > :58:49.Masterchef Star Gregg Wallace Blend a top chef with
:58:50. > :58:59.a brilliant professional dancer, drizzle on gallons of fake tan,
:59:00. > :59:03.sprinkle with hundreds and thousands of sequins and finish with a Lycra
:59:04. > :59:06.dressing and what have you got? Hopefully,
:59:07. > :59:19.it?s the recipe for success. He is a master in the kitchen mop
:59:20. > :59:23.but does Gregg Wallace have what it takes to whip up a storm on the
:59:24. > :59:29.dance floor? Everybody watches Masterchef and assumed that I chefs
:59:30. > :59:35.at Miami Green grocer. It is a rough, tough, Manly occupation. I am
:59:36. > :59:40.actually going to be filming the next series of Masterchef whilst
:59:41. > :59:46.Ripley is on. Taste, 1,123. But but it will all work out. It is Aliona!
:59:47. > :59:50.I was delighted when I was partnered with Aliona because she is an
:59:51. > :59:53.amazing cancer and her reputation is that she is a very good teacher.
:59:54. > :59:58.Great loves to tell jokes all the time. She is very stern and I am
:59:59. > :00:04.very smiley and jockey. All the time. I have to convince her that I
:00:05. > :00:11.can put in the hard graft. I think she thinks she might be coupled with
:00:12. > :00:17.a client. You should never eat clowns, they taste funny. What is
:00:18. > :00:25.this? If I'd tell a joke, I forget my steps. Less jokes, better
:00:26. > :00:34.dancing. Next time, I will be concentrating like orange juice.
:00:35. > :00:39.That is not a sidestep. What is a sidestep? I am determined to get
:00:40. > :00:44.this right. Can I feel your feet doing it so why can practice at home
:00:45. > :00:50.two as promised, I am practising. Cha cha, one, two, three. Ken I say
:00:51. > :00:55.to camera, that is my first lovely in three days. Gregg is putting a
:00:56. > :01:00.lot of hard work into this, so I am hoping that on the night, it will go
:01:01. > :01:04.well. All Aliona needs to bring out the best of me is just a little bit
:01:05. > :01:07.of patience and some sticky toffee pudding.
:01:08. > :01:13.Dancing the Cha Cha Cha, Gregg Wallace and Aliona Vilani.
:01:14. > :03:17.Well done. You were concentrating so hard. Craig? Sub zero, darling. You
:03:18. > :03:24.were really nasty about my peppercorns, I recall, one
:03:25. > :03:31.MasterChef. I am going to be nice and tell you the truth. You were
:03:32. > :03:41.like a wind-up toy out there. Like a pressure cooker about to explode.
:03:42. > :03:47.The bounce action you manage to get into the cha-cha-cha, that belongs
:03:48. > :04:00.in the samba. Alyokhina, you must have seen that in the mirror,
:04:01. > :04:08.darling. -- Aliona. I can only encourage your enthusiasm and hope
:04:09. > :04:21.that you get better. Thanks. Darcey? Weirdly, I like that. Your
:04:22. > :04:25.little bottom sticks out. And your shoulders have a life of their own.
:04:26. > :04:35.They've is this kind of thing going on. But there is something OK, I
:04:36. > :04:45.actually like you without your glasses as well. She liked it, that
:04:46. > :04:52.is good. Len? I would have liked bigger portions. It was all a little
:04:53. > :04:58.small and Dean T. Far be it for me to tell you not to practice, but
:04:59. > :05:08.sometimes you practice so much, do this, do that, you forget to get out
:05:09. > :05:22.and give it some flair. -- small and dainty. Practice, but come out next
:05:23. > :05:28.week, and go on, my son. Bruno? I do not know how to describe this, but
:05:29. > :05:40.it brings to mind in spy with a soggy bottom. I do not know what you
:05:41. > :05:47.were doing. It was enjoyable to watch. I cannot wait for your next
:05:48. > :05:55.dish, because it will be interesting. That was only a
:05:56. > :05:56.starter. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much. Let's hear it for
:05:57. > :06:12.them. CHEERING
:06:13. > :06:20.You did great. Not only that, Darcey has fallen in love with you. That is
:06:21. > :06:30.great. Did you love it? I loved it, that was great. He did brilliantly?
:06:31. > :06:38.I messed up a bit. Now, you did not. Ignore that. -- no. Ladies and
:06:39. > :06:48.gentlemen, the judges have their scores.
:06:49. > :07:04.Are you happy? All right. I have got this. You can celebrate with that.
:07:05. > :07:11.That is my boy. Sorry, mum. The next couple with their first bands is The
:07:12. > :07:18.Saturdays' Frankie Bridge and her partner, Kevin Clifton. As well as
:07:19. > :07:23.dance training, Frankie has been performing all across the country
:07:24. > :07:29.with this lovely lot. It is becoming clear that there are not enough days
:07:30. > :07:36.in the week for this Saturday. Saturday star Frankie Bridge is no
:07:37. > :07:43.stranger to first night fears. -- Saturdays. I am used to being
:07:44. > :07:49.nervous, but normally I have other people to hide behind. If this goes
:07:50. > :07:53.wrong, everyone will see it. It is the dream of every girl could get
:07:54. > :08:01.dressed up in these costumes. I am loving it. -- to get dressed up. I
:08:02. > :08:08.have watched Kevin dans, he is amazing. I do not want to let him
:08:09. > :08:16.down. We are doing the waltz first. The waltz is a slow dans and you
:08:17. > :08:27.have got to glide across the floor. -- slow dance. You are travelling
:08:28. > :08:41.around the country, have you finding it? Next week is more mental, it is
:08:42. > :08:45.all right, we have four shows. I am in Dublin tonight. I am in
:08:46. > :08:50.Birmingham right now, then I am going to Cardiff. Then we are doing
:08:51. > :09:05.Wembley. I am making sure that I fit in my training. That is ten.
:09:06. > :09:22.My partner Kevin is here tonight watching. Give him ice cream. --
:09:23. > :09:27.give him a scream. We could go all the way to the final. Dancing the
:09:28. > :09:40.waltz, Frankie Bridge and Kevin Clifton.
:09:41. > :11:14.APPLAUSE That was beautiful. That was lovely,
:11:15. > :11:21.my darling. They are on their feet in the studio. You got a standing
:11:22. > :11:28.ovation for that waltz. Darcey? Was that a hit for Frankie? It was a
:11:29. > :11:35.major hit. There was a beautiful feeling throughout the dance, there
:11:36. > :11:40.really was, and the arms, the quality, it was so lyrical, right
:11:41. > :11:46.against your fingers. I would say only one thing, you get a little
:11:47. > :11:59.comfortable in the hold. You could lean me even more, for me. What you
:12:00. > :12:04.are a joy to watch. Len? I am amazed you could dans so well in this
:12:05. > :12:16.weather. That without doubt is the best dance of the first week. High
:12:17. > :12:22.praise from the Baldry master. Bruno? Deliciously romantic. I live
:12:23. > :12:31.every moment with you. One thing is dancing but another thing is giving
:12:32. > :12:35.meaning to what you do. The extended lines, once people start giving me
:12:36. > :12:47.the full extension with the song, you have done it. What a way to
:12:48. > :12:53.start. Craig? For me, you danced a lot to fit on your toes. I would
:12:54. > :13:01.like to see I heavier fuel, but lovely arms, graceful, elegant,
:13:02. > :13:06.romantic, you followed Kevin's lead beautifully. They love it. Will you
:13:07. > :13:10.be top of the charts, we will find out soon enough? Give it up for
:13:11. > :13:28.Frankie and Kevin. You did not sleep a wink last night,
:13:29. > :13:38.you were so nervous? Did you enjoy it? Yes, I think I did. It was
:13:39. > :13:45.amazing. She did a great job. I did not sleep either. I was listening to
:13:46. > :13:50.The Saturdays' greatest hits. Was it weird to have your girls there are?
:13:51. > :14:08.Yes, I knew they were going to be there. You did beautifully. The
:14:09. > :14:19.judges' score sarin. -- judges' scores are in. That is the highest
:14:20. > :14:26.score of the weekend. Did you happy? Yes. You cannot be rubbish
:14:27. > :14:31.next week. Frankie is not ready to waltz off into the sunset yet. All
:14:32. > :14:38.couples will be back next week. If you want to follow their every move,
:14:39. > :14:44.join us on Facebook and Twitter. Also, the website. There is good
:14:45. > :14:49.stuff on there. We have had eight incredible performances. There is
:14:50. > :14:57.one to come. Our last couple tonight is Blue pop
:14:58. > :15:05.star Simon Webbe and his partner, Kristina Rihanoff. When he was
:15:06. > :15:15.paired with Kristina, Simon could not have been happier. But does he
:15:16. > :15:19.still have a smile on his face? Dan is a pop star, Simon Webbe is used
:15:20. > :15:22.to looking good but what do his band mates think of his latest make over?
:15:23. > :15:27.The other boys were definitely jealous of this. I have been going
:15:28. > :15:31.to the gym over the last couple of months, but I have been doing boxing
:15:32. > :15:38.for food work. Should be no problems with the lifts. Kristina is my
:15:39. > :15:42.partner and I think I'm going to teacher at the shoulder move. He has
:15:43. > :15:50.to do more than that to impress me and judges. He will have to work
:15:51. > :15:57.very hard. We will see how he copes. Unions! I am so excited. Not as
:15:58. > :16:04.excited as I am in. We're going to do the jive. Yes, the kicks. The
:16:05. > :16:09.jive, the quickest of all the Latin dances. It is going to be crazy
:16:10. > :16:15.fast. Your legs are going to get tired but we are going to go for it.
:16:16. > :16:21.Let's try again. There is a lot of things I'm finding difficult. And
:16:22. > :16:27.that is every single step. But I am looking at Kristina to guide me
:16:28. > :16:32.through. Because you feel music well, I want you to do a bit of a
:16:33. > :16:38.solo. Week one, a solo. You must be kidding? You can do whatever you
:16:39. > :16:49.want. Kristina is letting me do my own choreography. Don't disappoint
:16:50. > :16:53.me. I trust you. Gangnam Style! I hope she likes the moves that I have
:16:54. > :16:59.put together for the solo. I like it. She has worked hard on the
:17:00. > :17:03.routine and they do not want to let her down. -- I do not want to.
:17:04. > :17:09.Dancing the Jive, Simon Webbe and Kristina Rihanoff.
:17:10. > :19:03.A standing ovation in the studio! Have a look at that. What a way to
:19:04. > :19:07.close the show. Is this really their first week? The calibre of dancing
:19:08. > :19:17.is unbelievable. Plenty of kicks, plenty of Flex.
:19:18. > :19:24.Like EEC way that you did it. You were not uptight, you just came out
:19:25. > :19:32.and dance to. Well done. -- danced. You are out of breath, I can C. You
:19:33. > :19:39.have such a wonderful, springy bounce. You are like a frisky
:19:40. > :19:43.rabbit. Bouncing on the floor. What you do is great and I like the rock
:19:44. > :19:48.'n' roll that you put into it. A couple of Michael Jackson steps
:19:49. > :19:52.there. But just remember, keep pointing your feet. You cannot just
:19:53. > :20:03.do it like that. You have to point and retreat, point and retreat.
:20:04. > :20:10.Bodies think, Craig? -- what do you think. It looks like you're pounding
:20:11. > :20:13.the floor mop and you will see that professional than serviceable accent
:20:14. > :20:19.on their heads to make it look like they're doing that but they are not
:20:20. > :20:25.painting the floor. A little bit more action on your kicks will be
:20:26. > :20:32.great, and point your feet. It could have been perfect. But it is week
:20:33. > :20:39.one, and I think you are doing a fantastic job. Darcey? I liked it a
:20:40. > :20:45.lot, especially the choreography, Kristina. You put so many details in
:20:46. > :20:48.there, and I really like that. It was just getting crisper. You need
:20:49. > :20:54.to keep it crisp right until the very end. I could see you getting
:20:55. > :20:56.tired, but you have fully, Simon. You really do. -- you have the
:20:57. > :21:25.layer. Of Simon! You are amazing. Goodbye.
:21:26. > :21:30.Did that hurt? Did it feel good? When you turned up, you said you
:21:31. > :21:37.could only do a shoulder move, but that was not a shoulder move. You
:21:38. > :21:43.did great. Did you enjoy it? I am a little disappointed in myself. Don't
:21:44. > :21:50.be ridiculous! I heard what the judges were saying. But for week
:21:51. > :22:08.one... You did great. The scores are in.
:22:09. > :22:14.What was so sweet is you said the only thing you did not want to do
:22:15. > :22:21.was let Kristina Darren. As he let you down? Now. He is amazing and he
:22:22. > :22:25.worked so hard. I'm so proud of you. I love duo dance when you did that
:22:26. > :22:30.bit with your head. That is it. We have seen all our couple stands for
:22:31. > :22:31.the very first time. -- couples dance.
:22:32. > :22:34.Let's take a look at the leaderboard.
:22:35. > :22:53.But that's only half the story because it could all
:22:54. > :22:56.change next week when our celebrities will be back
:22:57. > :23:02.with 15 brand new dances and you get the chance to cast your vote.
:23:03. > :23:04.Here's a quick reminder of all the routines we've seen
:23:05. > :27:22.Strictly Come Dancing 2014 has well and truly started!
:27:23. > :27:26.And next week you can join in and start voting for your favourites.
:27:27. > :27:29.Sadly one of our couples will have to leave the competition,
:27:30. > :27:33.and none of the celebrities want to be the first to go home.
:27:34. > :27:36.So it's back to the training rooms where, instead of 3 long weeks,
:27:37. > :27:39.they'll have to learn a brand new dance in just six short days.
:27:40. > :27:41.But if this weekend's performances are anything to go by,
:27:42. > :27:48.You can keep up with our couples training and all things
:27:49. > :27:51.Strictly every day next week with the brilliant Zoe Ball on It Takes
:27:52. > :27:56.Two starting Monday night at 6:30pm on BBC2.
:27:57. > :27:58.We'll see you next Saturday at 6.20, that's 6.20pm,
:27:59. > :28:01.for more ballroom brilliance. But in the meantime, shall we?
