:04:31. > :04:34.fantastic routine. I can see you've got all your Blackpool shopping
:04:35. > :04:40.done. Almost all I need is a stick of rock and a live donkey. On
:04:41. > :04:44.Saturday night in Blackpool was full of surprises, we had a flying piano,
:04:45. > :04:51.Peter Kay popping in and Danny and Oti getting the first 40 of the
:04:52. > :04:54.series. Even Craig stop seven couples danced but only six will

:06:06. > :06:09.of Len's Lens. We find out which doubles are safely through to next
:06:10. > :06:12.week and which are in the dance-off. It was a roller-coaster ride this
:06:13. > :06:18.week when Strictly came to Blackpool. There's something special
:06:19. > :06:23.about coming to Blackpool. Even you are in a good mood today. Craig, do
:06:24. > :06:28.you feel the ten puddle will come out tonight? I'm hoping tonight 's
:06:29. > :06:34.Darcey this could be it. -- ten puddle.
:06:35. > :06:48.Come on, Craig. I'm loving Blackpool so far. It's big, bold and full of
:06:49. > :06:53.glitter. I'm just really proud to have got this far. I'm thrilled to
:06:54. > :06:58.be at the place which is the home of ballroom dancing. The atmosphere's
:06:59. > :07:04.building. Does anybody know where the Lewis, anybody? Someone is going
:07:05. > :07:08.to have to go home at the end of this weekend. Now you can't think
:07:09. > :07:13.about it is you've just got to enjoy it. We live in five minutes guys, we
:07:14. > :07:19.are live in five. What we've been waiting for. Let's go. Nerves are
:07:20. > :07:25.running rampant. And trying to be more excited and nervous. I haven't
:07:26. > :07:30.a clue who's going home. It doesn't get much better than this.
:07:31. > :07:37.You were spicier and hotter than a Scotch bonnet. I have never seen a
:07:38. > :07:48.guy be able to shake their cheeks as well as that. Well, I thought it was
:07:49. > :07:54.hip- Thai stick -- hiptastic. The energy in their... Claudia, you're
:07:55. > :08:01.so fine, you're so fine you can jive. One tiny mistake but a
:08:02. > :08:04.spectacular performance. It's such a terrible shame because that routine
:08:05. > :08:06.could have scored a ten. I loved the kicks, the flicks were tight, they
:08:07. > :08:16.were sharp. A I really, truly loved it. Well done,
:08:17. > :08:22.you were amazing. To my surprise, most of it looks like a jive. It
:08:23. > :08:26.looks like you were playing hopscotch in an all girls school,
:08:27. > :08:27.sadly. You need to be a lot of light on your feet. You came down there
:08:28. > :08:42.and you made Blackpool rock. There was too much power, sadly,
:08:43. > :08:45.which made it a bit bouncy. Little mistakes but what was great as you
:08:46. > :08:59.were smiling all the way through. I had fun watching you. Three times a
:09:00. > :09:05.week at 32. I was desperate for 19. Beauty, artistry, power, fabulous.
:09:06. > :09:11.Full of drama, full of gorgeous. It was dynamic, it was strong, it was
:09:12. > :09:21.passionate throughout, well done. It was amazing. Your amazing. -- you
:09:22. > :09:25.are amazing. The ace in the pack. The charisma, the flare, I loved it.
:09:26. > :09:31.You are an amazing showman and it's so wonderful to see that. Ten! What
:09:32. > :09:42.happened? That really was a table topping show
:09:43. > :09:49.stopper! It was all pure good dancing. I mean it is actually
:09:50. > :09:55.difficult to distinguish who is not the professional dancer now. One
:09:56. > :10:02.word, three syllables, darling. Fab-u-lous. Ten. The first 40 of the
:10:03. > :10:23.series, I'm gobsmacked! What an unforgettable night it was.
:10:24. > :10:27.This is how the leader board looked at the end of Saturday's
:10:28. > :10:32.performances. At the top Danny and Oti with a perfect score of 40. At
:10:33. > :10:36.the other end, Ed and Katya with a score of 23. Have your votes at home
:10:37. > :10:39.changed everything? Seven couples danced their hearts out to stay in
:10:40. > :10:43.the competition but only six places remain. Who will be through to next
:10:44. > :10:50.week and whose journey will end here in Blackpool? The results are in.
:10:51. > :10:54.In no particular order, the first couple safely through to next week
:10:55. > :11:08.is... CHEERING
:11:09. > :11:21.APPLAUSE And now the first couple in the
:11:22. > :12:10.dance-off is... -- Claudia and AJ. The rest of you
:12:11. > :12:20.will learn your fate soon. Claudia and AJ, please come and join me. I'm
:12:21. > :12:22.so sorry. It's all right. First time in Blackpool and first time in the
:12:23. > :12:28.dance-off. What is going through your head? Don't make that mistake
:12:29. > :12:32.again. Craig, you said you might have given Claudia ten had it not
:12:33. > :12:37.been for the mistake. How important is it for her to get it perfect in
:12:38. > :12:41.the dance-off? Really important, you have to save your life with this
:12:42. > :12:45.dance, so I would say go out there, fixed that tiny little hiccup. A bit
:12:46. > :12:50.more personality, darling. Really just try and enjoy the whole thing.
:12:51. > :12:55.You're a fantastic, fantastic dancer. Good luck.
:12:56. > :13:04.Len, you said's jive was crisp, full on, sharp, what more can she do? As
:13:05. > :13:08.far as the dancing is concerned there is nothing more to do. There
:13:09. > :13:12.was that little incident, so focus and concentrate, come out, Neil the
:13:13. > :13:20.routine. You should never have been in the dance-off. You're too good a
:13:21. > :13:26.dancer. Thank you, judges. Are you going to take the advice on board?
:13:27. > :13:27.Definitely, yes. We'll see you later on in the dance-off. Claudia, over
:13:28. > :13:34.to you. I have the first two sex couples
:13:35. > :13:37.with me. Danny Cummins you turned around to Ore and said, it's only
:13:38. > :13:44.us, where has everybody gone? It's crazy. Congratulations, first 40,
:13:45. > :13:50.perfect score. Well done, you trained so hard. You did 11 hours
:13:51. > :13:56.one day last week, you must be on cloud nine. So much, we really, like
:13:57. > :13:59.you need to put the hours in to learn the thing. It's good, we put
:14:00. > :14:10.the hours in and when it pays off its so good. I can't think -- thank
:14:11. > :14:15.Oti enough. Ore, well done, three tens, shall we ignore Craig's score?
:14:16. > :14:24.You can, you can, that was just the most incredible night. Being in this
:14:25. > :14:30.building. To be here, to dance on that stage with this audience. And
:14:31. > :14:37.then to get that score. It was the highest scoring Viennese waltz of
:14:38. > :14:40.the series. Was it? That, OK, our guys, our partners, our friends,
:14:41. > :14:45.everything is down to them. I cannot thank you enough. Thank you so much,
:14:46. > :14:49.we'll find out who else is safely through. Now it's time for some

:18:36. > :18:43.Goodman. This is when you assess things you saw on Saturday night.
:18:44. > :18:49.Can we do this alone? Impossible. No way, please welcome Len's Lens.
:18:50. > :18:54.Len's Lens. There you G I would like to talk to you about Louise and
:18:55. > :18:58.Kevin. You said there is something magical about pasos in Blackpool.
:18:59. > :19:02.There is something about the paso doble. So many terrific ones. Look
:19:03. > :19:07.at the way this floor bounces by the way. It is incredible. It is such a
:19:08. > :19:13.powerful dance and the hall is big and they just come out. Plenty of
:19:14. > :19:18.vim and vigour. This was brilliant. It was such a brilliant paso doble.
:19:19. > :19:22.Thank you so much. Thank you, Len. Darcey, can we talk about Ore and
:19:23. > :19:26.Joanne and the never-ending fleckerl. It was so beautiful. I
:19:27. > :19:31.don't think people realise how difficult to be able to do a
:19:32. > :19:35.fleckerl, that consecutively. You get so dizzy. You could veer off the
:19:36. > :19:42.centre of the stage and start travelling across the dance floor.
:19:43. > :19:46.He did a brilliant job. He has a slight little incline quite cute,
:19:47. > :19:52.amazing job. You all marked him incredibly highly, apart from you,
:19:53. > :19:58.Craig. Darcey, this is your reaction when you see Craig's paddle, as it
:19:59. > :20:02.were. Look, having a real go at him. Oi, what are you doing, like a
:20:03. > :20:10.younger sister? I didn't understand that. Please, explain. You know, he
:20:11. > :20:14.is such a good performer, Ore as well, I didn't understand why you
:20:15. > :20:17.marked it so low. I thought I made myself very clear, as you said
:20:18. > :20:22.yourself, his head did incline to the right. One tiny little thing.
:20:23. > :20:28.Let's in the carry on. I feel bad for him. But, Craig, unbelievably,
:20:29. > :20:31.so early on, if you like, found his 10.
:20:32. > :20:44.CHEERS As I say, I was trying not, to I was
:20:45. > :20:51.looking for faults. That was amazing. The technique he has is
:20:52. > :20:55.absolutely wonderful. The timing was exceptional. He is a total and
:20:56. > :21:01.thorough joy to watch. He is wonderful. They are going nuts.
:21:02. > :21:10.Thank you so much, Craig, and also, Darcey. Look at your reaction to his
:21:11. > :21:18.10. So cute. Oh, no. I can't look! # LAUGHTER
:21:19. > :21:25.But it was so sweet. A 10 from you is sort of, it is like a real
:21:26. > :21:31.unicorn coming into the room. . Yes, exactly. Let's hear it for the
:21:32. > :21:35.judges. So far two couples have made it through to next week. But who
:21:36. > :21:42.will be joining them? Thanks, Claudia. So who is safe and
:21:43. > :21:48.who will face Claudia and AJ in the dance-off? Time to find out. In no
:21:49. > :21:57.particular order, safely through to next week are...
:21:58. > :22:35.Back it dance again next Saturday are... -- back to dance.
:22:36. > :22:43.Judge Rinder and Oksana. That means, Greg and Natalie, Ed and
:22:44. > :22:47.Katya, one of you is safe, one of you is in the dance off. I can
:22:48. > :22:59.reveal the couple in the bottom two tonight who will compete in the
:23:00. > :23:05.dance-off is... Greg and Natalie. So, Ed and Katya, congratulations,
:23:06. > :23:06.you are through to next Saturday. Greg and Natalie, please come and
:23:07. > :23:19.join me. Nobody wants to be standing here
:23:20. > :23:23.with me at this time. You were here last week, here again. We have been
:23:24. > :23:27.quite relaxed and said up there, if it happens again, one more dance and
:23:28. > :23:31.try and nail everything that we got wrong, well, what I got wrong,
:23:32. > :23:36.Natalie never gets it wrong. So we just have to hope for the best and
:23:37. > :23:39.go for it. Advice from the judges. Bruno, you scored Greg and Natalie
:23:40. > :23:45.an 8 on the night. You enjoyed the routine. How can he improve? First
:23:46. > :23:49.let me say, keep that wonderful light-hearted, fun feeling you had.
:23:50. > :23:54.It is good to see you having a good time. So don't tense up. Try to
:23:55. > :23:58.smooth the foot work a little bit. Don't put so much pressure on the
:23:59. > :24:02.feet because it gives you that kind of bouncy look that doesn't quite go
:24:03. > :24:08.with the dance. Otherwise, enjoy it. Thank you. Darcey, you wanted Greg
:24:09. > :24:16.to achieve a little bit more control in the quickstep. How should he best
:24:17. > :24:20.go about that? You have an extraordinary natural power. It is
:24:21. > :24:23.trying to cut down some bit of that. What is wonderful is you travel and
:24:24. > :24:27.give so much but you can actually cut it down. You give more than
:24:28. > :24:31.anybody else, because it is so natural in you. Go out, just as you
:24:32. > :24:34.did, enjoy it just as you did on Saturday night.
:24:35. > :24:39.We wish you the best of luck and we will see you in the dance off later
:24:40. > :24:45.on. Claudia. Thank you, Tess. I'm here with the
:24:46. > :24:49.rest of our saved couples who are all quite shocked, extremely happy.
:24:50. > :24:56.Judge Rinder, the sigh of relief, everybody heard it. You are still
:24:57. > :25:00.our only celebrity couple - your score has never gone down Like you
:25:01. > :25:11.said, it is a couple. This is my teacher. What you want is to get
:25:12. > :25:20.better every week , and I have the best teacher.
:25:21. > :25:25.Louise, you are usually smiley, are you glad you have the waltz next
:25:26. > :25:30.week and can go back to being happy? Yes, just glad I have another week
:25:31. > :25:37.and another opportunity to learn a new dance. Ed, you scored 29.
:25:38. > :25:47.Another week. What would you like to say to the voting public? Well, it
:25:48. > :25:54.is the only reason we are here, from everyone we voted. We are working
:25:55. > :26:00.hard, we are giving a chance to see Katya's wonderful choreography every
:26:01. > :26:05.week and we don't want it to stop, thank you.

:36:28. > :36:37.Judges, it's time to decide. Based on the dance-off alone I'm
:36:38. > :36:40.about to ask you to name the couple you think deserve to be savoured and
