:02:27. > :02:28.will be performing on this dance floor tonight.
:02:29. > :02:31.And sadly, our first couple will leave the competition
:02:32. > :02:41.I know, we've become quite attached, too.
:02:42. > :02:44.But one couple must go - those are the rules.
:02:45. > :02:46.So tonight, everyone will be pulling out all the stops
:02:47. > :03:16.Remember, tonight, our 15 couples will be dancing live,
:03:17. > :03:19.not only for the judges' scores, but also to win your votes.
:03:20. > :03:24.Our celebrities are all backstage shaking with nerves and excitement.
:03:25. > :03:28.Either that or the air conditioning is on the blink.
:03:29. > :03:31.They're all desperate to come out here and give it their best shot.
:03:32. > :03:34.So let's not keep them waiting any longer, it's time to meet...
:03:35. > :03:42.TV presenter and singer Louise Redknapp and her
:03:43. > :03:47.Star of Judge Rinder Robert Rinder and his partner, Oksana Platero.

:04:46. > :05:00.Singer Anastacia and her partner, Brendan Cole.
:05:01. > :05:22.If this competition was based on looks alone, we'd be dishing out
:05:23. > :05:28.All of tonight's scores will be added to last week's, giving
:05:29. > :05:33.So let's remind ourselves of the leader board.
:05:34. > :05:36.Up at the top with a score of 32 are Daisy and Aljaz.
:05:37. > :05:40.And at the other end is Ed and Katya, who scored a 21.
:05:41. > :05:42.But that's all set to change, because tonight you can
:05:43. > :05:45.vote for your favourite for the very first time.
:05:46. > :05:49.The two couples with the lowest combined judges' scores and viewer
:05:50. > :05:51.votes will face each other in the dance-off in Sunday
:05:52. > :05:56.So it really is all to play for ? or should that be dance for!
:05:57. > :05:59.And dancing first for your votes is Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton.
:06:00. > :06:17.They are dancing the cha-cha and they're taking
:06:18. > :06:23.After a week of training they are great at sliding down poles,
:06:24. > :06:29.but will they be able to climb UP the leaderboard?
:06:30. > :06:38.I actually think that's the best you have ever danced it. I thought it
:06:39. > :06:41.was dramatic, well done. We have got to get straight back in the
:06:42. > :06:45.training, because in week two, someone is going to have to go, and
:06:46. > :06:52.we are really hoping it's not us. This week, we are dancing the
:06:53. > :06:59.cha-cha. And we're going to be playing firefighters. Are you
:07:00. > :07:02.kidding? It is your lucky day, Ore. We are dancing as firefighters and
:07:03. > :07:08.we would love to get into character. You've come to the right place. It's
:07:09. > :07:12.the 150th anniversary of the London Fire Brigade, so we've got plenty of
:07:13. > :07:22.experienced. We're going in the fire engine now. That is the look! I'm
:07:23. > :07:33.losing control! Look at this! This is what I'm talking about!
:07:34. > :07:37.Firefighter Clifton! Let's go. Well, I look like a firefighter, I feel
:07:38. > :07:43.like a firefighter. The question is, can I dance like a firefighter? On
:07:44. > :07:48.Saturday night, bring it on! That's how it's supposed to look, isn't it?
:07:49. > :08:01.Dancing the cha-cha-cha, Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton.
:08:02. > :09:55.Ore, come here! You just raised the temperature in the studio! Well
:09:56. > :10:03.done! While you cool down, let's welcome our fabulous live singers,
:10:04. > :10:08.Hayley, Lance, Andrea, Tommy, and of course Dave Archer and his fabulous
:10:09. > :10:16.orchestra! That was hot! Too hot! What do you think? I tell you what,
:10:17. > :10:19.I saw Joanne polishing those boots, and the routine could have done with
:10:20. > :10:25.a little bit more polished. However... However... I liked the
:10:26. > :10:30.way you came out, it was for long, it was fierce. It was an excellent
:10:31. > :10:42.performance and better than last week. So well done!
:10:43. > :10:51.Bruno? Forget the fire extinguisher, you need to get the water cannon out
:10:52. > :10:55.and cooldown! We like a saucy cha-cha, don't we? I think what
:10:56. > :11:01.happened is, you put so much energy into it, and it became very clipped.
:11:02. > :11:04.And sometimes you seems to be racing a little bit with the music. But
:11:05. > :11:09.overall, the performance was fantastic. The variety of steps was
:11:10. > :11:20.great, I loved middle section. Just a bit cleaner, OK? . You're very
:11:21. > :11:25.good at getting your own groove on, and it was very sharp and energetic,
:11:26. > :11:29.but for me, it look very stiff, particularly in the hip department,
:11:30. > :11:41.sadly. And that sort of ruined it for me, really. There seemed to be
:11:42. > :11:45.some emotion... You were selling it, Ore, you really were. You are one
:11:46. > :11:48.brave guy to come out there. You have to be very confident to produce
:11:49. > :11:55.those moves, straightaway, first dance of the evening. And you really
:11:56. > :12:04.gave him a very fast routine, Jo, it was very impressive. It was! You
:12:05. > :12:11.have very accentuated hands. Thank you! They're little bit freely in
:12:12. > :12:16.places, so just control those, but generally, you were giving your all,
:12:17. > :12:21.well done. Not bad comments. A lot to think about. And you want this
:12:22. > :12:28.studio audience up, that's for sure! Let's hear it for Ore and Joanne!
:12:29. > :12:44.So scary to go first, that was brilliant. It must have been
:12:45. > :12:50.terrifying. Can I ask you something, just to confirm, you've never
:12:51. > :12:56.danced? I've never danced before. What do you want, a certificate? My
:12:57. > :13:01.favourite thing is watching your wife's face, who was genuinely in
:13:02. > :13:04.shock. He can do this? She doesn't know, I just go around practising
:13:05. > :13:08.these high kicks all the time at home. She doesn't know. I'm slightly
:13:09. > :13:33.shocked and a bit horrified. The scores are in...
:13:34. > :13:39.Len Goodman said it was a big improvements over very well done.
:13:40. > :13:43.Saucy, and frilly hands - could not have done better!
:13:44. > :13:46.If you want to see Ore the fire fighter next week,
:13:47. > :13:49.either to dance or if you've got your head stuck in some
:13:50. > :13:52.railings, all the details are on your screen now so you can
:13:53. > :13:55.vote for him when voting opens at the end of the show.
:13:56. > :13:56.It's time for the terms and conditions.
:13:57. > :13:59.Now I don't want to go too over the top,
:14:00. > :14:07.Brendan, Anton, thank you very much. Here's how it works.
:14:08. > :14:13.Calls cost 15p, plus any network access charge, and please ask
:14:14. > :14:17.by visiting bbc.co.uk/strictly, where you will also find
:14:18. > :14:20.Voting won't open until all our couples have danced.
:14:21. > :14:23.If you call now, your vote won't count, and you may still be charged.
:14:24. > :14:25.Please don't vote if you're watching on demand.
:14:26. > :14:35.You'll need to sign in or register for a BBC Account to vote online.
:14:36. > :14:39.Even if you registered last year, you still need to sign in again.
:14:40. > :14:41.And may I suggest you do that right now.
:14:42. > :14:58.In fact, we're going to make it longer each time!
:14:59. > :15:03.Our next couple is Claudia Fragapane and her partner AJ Pritchard.
:15:04. > :15:08.Claudia performed some amazing gymnastics
:15:09. > :15:10.in her cha-cha last week, but tonight, she's hoping
:15:11. > :15:13.it will be the judges who go head over heels
:15:14. > :15:27.Since my name was announced I could feel I was in competition mode. I
:15:28. > :15:32.was like - let's do this. Being partnered with a gymnast is
:15:33. > :15:38.interesting. Some judges liked the gymnasts, some weren't pleased? I'm
:15:39. > :15:45.not a big punter for gymnastics in dancers. I got 26, I want to get
:15:46. > :15:51.higherer than that. We have the waltz. We need to be calm and slow.
:15:52. > :15:59.The judges were split on gymnastics. We can get still get a little bit of
:16:00. > :16:02.gymnastics in there. Claudia Fragapane invites A sdwrovp one of
:16:03. > :16:07.her classes she teaches. Let's hope Len doesn't find out. I enjoyed
:16:08. > :16:14.working him hard. Out of time. Sorry. I think his gymnastics needs
:16:15. > :16:17.more pointed toes and straight legs. He found it difficult at the start
:16:18. > :16:27.and eased into it. He is really good. Yes. Do you want to see a bit
:16:28. > :16:35.of our waltz? YEAH! I think the waltz was amazing. I loved it. A 10
:16:36. > :16:41.from us and hopefully a 10 from Len. Good luck, Claudia and AJ.
:16:42. > :17:15.Dancing the waltz, Claudia Fragapane and AJ Pritchard!
:17:16. > :18:40.A waltz with a hint of Romeo and Juliet.
:18:41. > :18:51.Did our youngest couple pull off a mature performance, Bruno?
:18:52. > :19:02.It was like watching West Side Story set to a waltz. Maria and Tony swept
:19:03. > :19:07.away by the power of love. Spinning straight into our hearts. Beautiful
:19:08. > :19:12.arms, great arch, lovely. Couldn't ask for more than that. I felt like
:19:13. > :19:16.you were spotting the floor a little bit when you do your turns. Make
:19:17. > :19:19.sure your head is up and spot in front.
:19:20. > :19:27.You. I felt you were hyper extending a little bit. No, no, no. And
:19:28. > :19:33.sometimes... No, no. And your end recovery out of that last spin
:19:34. > :19:39.wasn't particularly attractive. You lost balance before the Apart from
:19:40. > :19:44.that end. , he loved it. Darcey. Oh, my goodness, the fluidity you
:19:45. > :19:49.created. Sorry... The control as well with those moves. Beautiful.
:19:50. > :19:58.For me, the extension in your back, in that standing spin. Yes.
:19:59. > :20:01.Immaculate top line. Really, that paid off in your top line. The
:20:02. > :20:08.difference from last week. Well done. Len. Don't worry about
:20:09. > :20:14.Claudia, the outlook for you is totally sunny, I'm telling you. Good
:20:15. > :20:20.hold, good movement. Good technique. Light up my life, you lit up this
:20:21. > :20:28.ballroom, I'm telling you. Lovely. Thank you, Len, a sunny outlook, one
:20:29. > :20:30.dark cloud. Claudia is waiting for you upstairs. Well done. Claudia and
:20:31. > :20:41.AJ. Well done. Well done. You must have
:20:42. > :20:47.been happy with those judges' comments. I know Craig, it's second
:20:48. > :20:52.week for Craig! We love him. He gets picky. How did you find the ballroom
:20:53. > :20:56.At the start it was really hard. I grew into it. I'm speechless. I
:20:57. > :21:02.don't know how well it went. It was really good. You are so cute. We
:21:03. > :21:05.have fellow gymnasts here. They must be supporting you - go Claudia. They
:21:06. > :21:10.have done. The scores are in. Sweet. You must be so proud. Well
:21:11. > :21:31.done. So happy. If you want to see Claudia
:21:32. > :21:33.and AJ here next week, all the details are on your screen
:21:34. > :21:36.now, so you can vote for them when voting opens
:21:37. > :21:45.at the end of the show. Leslie is in a French restaurant. I
:21:46. > :21:48.asked what the soup was, apparently, it's soup of the day.
:21:49. > :21:58.Dancing next tonight is Will Young and his partner, Karen Clifton.
:21:59. > :22:02.Will's doing a Jive set in the 1950s and to get into the right mood
:22:03. > :22:05.they went to the movies, but will a trip to a drive-in
:22:06. > :22:14.How do you feel? I just enjoyed it and getting into the character. The
:22:15. > :22:20.acting and the interpretations were absolutely brilliant. The best thing
:22:21. > :22:25.is we got an eight from Craig. I was like, yeah, that's my girl! This
:22:26. > :22:32.week we Will and I are dancing the jive. I'm enjoying the happiness of
:22:33. > :22:39.the jive. The 50s, jitterbug, fun. Really? I've got a little surprise
:22:40. > :22:44.for Karen. Karen, look what I've got. This is amazing. Get in, we
:22:45. > :22:49.will be late. I love classic cars. As a treat I thought I would take
:22:50. > :22:54.Karen out for a spin in a 50s American car. Prepare to be amazed!
:22:55. > :22:59.I thought we should have a night off. We can watch a movie and relax.
:23:00. > :23:04.Will, you know that Saturday is just around the corner, we don't have
:23:05. > :23:08.time. Cue the training footage. Look at the feet.
:23:09. > :23:17.You have to balance... Why have you locked the doors? Your fingers... I
:23:18. > :23:22.want popcorn. HELP! The plan was to relax, Karen, clearly, had other
:23:23. > :23:23.ideas. We're going to study this footage until you get everything
:23:24. > :23:31.correct. Dancing the Jive, Will Young
:23:32. > :25:13.and Karen Clifton. Come on. You're one happy jiver.
:25:14. > :25:18.Happy face in place. You have us all rocking there. You have pulled a
:25:19. > :25:25.muscle? You are still Yeah. Smiling. What a professional. Do you need a
:25:26. > :25:33.medic right now? Yes. Do you need onele right now. No, I'm all right.
:25:34. > :25:38.You don't need a medic. I'll have it after. You are a pro. The judges
:25:39. > :25:44.comments first. He is in pain. Be kind. I must apologise for Bruno's
:25:45. > :25:50.language. He got a little bit excited earlier on. Again, me.
:25:51. > :25:55.Behave. Always you. Always me. Let's chat to Craig. Did it get you
:25:56. > :25:59.rocking this jive? No, it didn't. It was flat footed which made it a
:26:00. > :26:04.little bit laboured and the side by side section you messed up that
:26:05. > :26:09.first kick. You messed that up entirely. You did a spin and tried
:26:10. > :26:13.to get back into. It I found it disappointing, quite frankly.
:26:14. > :26:18.Darcey, have you a positive spin? I have to say it was a classic
:26:19. > :26:22.rock-and-roll feel. I love that style with you. You looked in ease
:26:23. > :26:28.with it, even with a tiny mistake. You did a nice repeat to cover
:26:29. > :26:33.yourself up. You kept your facial expression, you didn't show it in
:26:34. > :26:37.your face. When you get relaxed, you don't get that sharp flick and the
:26:38. > :26:41.kick and the traction, yes. Keep the legs working where you can keep
:26:42. > :26:49.really cool on top. Thank you. Loved it. Len? For me you are moving like
:26:50. > :26:54.clockwork, honestly. No messing about, straight into the routine. A
:26:55. > :26:58.mix of rock-and-roll, jive, what I loved was your energy. You came out
:26:59. > :27:05.and you went for it. Well done. Went for it. Despite the injury halfway
:27:06. > :27:09.through. Bruno? I loved the way you always manage to get precisely into
:27:10. > :27:14.character. You get the style absolutely right. Your performance
:27:15. > :27:17.level and value is always brilliant. You are such a generous performer.
:27:18. > :27:22.That is great to see. I love the fact that it was all this mix and
:27:23. > :27:25.match of rock-and-roll. That is how jive was born there. Was an
:27:26. > :27:30.incident. It happens to anyone. You know, we overlook it. It happens.
:27:31. > :27:34.You get a cramp, you miss a step. Overall it was very good. Thank you.
:27:35. > :27:37.Not bad at all. Plenty to think about. It's only Week Two, after
:27:38. > :27:42.all. You go and get medical attention.
:27:43. > :27:46.Claudia will look after you. Will and Karen.
:27:47. > :27:53.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:27:54. > :28:02.Well done. I'm sorry you are in pain. I love what Bruno said. You
:28:03. > :28:05.get totally into it. You gave us angry tango and joyful jive? Yes, a
:28:06. > :28:29.man of many faces. Very cute face. Three down from last week. Len has
:28:30. > :28:36.gone up one. Let's hold on to that. I'm happy with that. Very well done.
:28:37. > :28:39.If you enjoyed Will dancing to Rock Around the Clock,
:28:40. > :28:41.all the details are on your screen now so you can vote
:28:42. > :28:44.for him when voting opens at the end of the show.
:28:45. > :28:46.Still to come, Greg dances to the song Jump.
:28:47. > :28:49.Makes sense, if there was a song called Readin Out Loud,
:28:50. > :28:54.Next tonight is Lesley Joseph and her partner, Anton Du Beke.
:28:55. > :28:58.They're doing a Cha Cha set in a champagne bar,
:28:59. > :29:10.is going to need for this dance, because if there's one thing Lesley
:29:11. > :29:16.It was magic. You in tail coats, me a lovely pink floaty dress. I was
:29:17. > :29:20.really thrilled with the way it went. You are a lovely lady. I
:29:21. > :29:25.thought you danced that beautifully. Well done. Thank you. I look back on
:29:26. > :29:32.my waltz as a wonderful start and now this week we will have much more
:29:33. > :29:36.fun. My second dance on Strictly is the cha-cha-cha. A bit scared of
:29:37. > :29:40.Latin. I haven't got the arms right yet. Hugely looking forward to get
:29:41. > :29:48.up to speed. This dance is fast. I'm more concerned about me doing it
:29:49. > :29:53.than her doing it. This number is set in a Parisian restaurant. To get
:29:54. > :30:00.you in the mood, make me a cup of tea. He is going to have to get into
:30:01. > :30:05.character. He has to wait on me. I like cups and saucers. The dance is
:30:06. > :30:10.her toying with me. I think Leslie is enjoying this dance. She has me
:30:11. > :30:18.waiting on her hand and foot. Anton. How's that? Too tight. Darling, can
:30:19. > :30:26.you get me some water, please? OK. A straw. Now! Are you feeling in
:30:27. > :30:29.character? Yes. Good. I think I should change this dance!
:30:30. > :30:35.Dancing the Cha Cha Cha, Lesley Joseph and Anton Du Beke.
:30:36. > :32:25.I loved that, Lesley! She's the boss! And you look amazing, you
:32:26. > :32:37.really do. Did you enjoy it? I loved it. Let's see if the judges liked
:32:38. > :32:42.it. Darcey Bussell, did you enjoy it? Well, first thing, Lesley, you
:32:43. > :32:49.have hot little body there. You look at absolutely amazing, I have to
:32:50. > :32:53.say. You are sleek, cheeky, flirty and fun. You're having a great time
:32:54. > :32:57.out there, and that is the best thing to watch. The only thing I
:32:58. > :33:01.would say, you have a free arm which is behind you, and that throws you
:33:02. > :33:06.sometimes. But he's got you, he's holding onto you. I mean, the
:33:07. > :33:15.difference, you look amazing. Well done! Len? Like champagne,
:33:16. > :33:24.cha-cha-cha can be physic and it can be flat. This was full of fizz.
:33:25. > :33:28.Proper cha-cha-cha, loads of content. And you mixed it in with
:33:29. > :33:38.all of that fun and enjoyment. I thought it was fantastic, well done!
:33:39. > :33:45.Thank you. Champagne kicked in, and your back! The original and best,
:33:46. > :33:50.prowling around. There's plenty of action left on those legs. I mean,
:33:51. > :33:54.come on, the legs were excellent! Darling, what happens, you're
:33:55. > :34:00.throwing away your top. You get a little bit excited, you got a little
:34:01. > :34:04.bit tipsy, didn't you, darling? We are just making it up as we went
:34:05. > :34:08.along, which we like, which we like very much! So try to control that
:34:09. > :34:16.Chile you still got it, you've got it, my darling! She's got it. You're
:34:17. > :34:20.not going to take it away, are you, Craig? Well, I wasn't expecting
:34:21. > :34:23.that, that's for sure, darling. You certainly shown no sign of
:34:24. > :34:30.inhibition. But you do throw yourself into it a little bit too
:34:31. > :34:39.much, and I really could have done without that bum rub, darling. Well,
:34:40. > :34:45.I've got to enjoy myself somehow, love. To be honest, I could watch it
:34:46. > :34:49.again, I really could. Well, you could not hope for more than that.
:34:50. > :34:56.Congratulations, job well done. What a cha-cha-cha. Lesley and Anton!
:34:57. > :35:14.I remember you saying, I like ballroom but I'm now ready to have
:35:15. > :35:20.some fun? I loved it, I just loved it. Wonderful, it's a dream. She did
:35:21. > :35:24.great, didn't she? I just thought you were remarkable. Can I just
:35:25. > :35:36.complement Craig on that outstanding shirt? Yes, you can! I like it, I
:35:37. > :35:38.think I will use it next week. Brave, before the scores, but never
:35:39. > :35:56.mind! The judges' scores are in... 26, more than last week. Happy with
:35:57. > :35:59.that? Yes. If that restaurant routine
:36:00. > :36:02.was just what you ordered, all the details are on your screen
:36:03. > :36:05.now so you can vote for them when voting opens
:36:06. > :36:07.at the end of the show. Now it's time for some
:36:08. > :36:10.fun with a capital F. Remember this year,
:36:11. > :36:12.if you want to vote online, you'll need to go to the website and sign
:36:13. > :36:16.in to your BBC Account, When do you sign in? Now. And you
:36:17. > :36:39.vote? Later! It's super important to do well this
:36:40. > :36:42.week. This is the first week when we're going to lose somebody. It's a
:36:43. > :36:48.bit more nerve-racking. I could not be more out of my comfort zone. The
:36:49. > :36:59.tango is the complete opposite to the cha-cha-cha. I'm really enjoying
:37:00. > :37:02.the waltz, there's a story to it, it's quite emotive. The routine is
:37:03. > :37:06.very energetic. Do me a favour! I'm looking forward to
:37:07. > :37:18.all that. And Anastasia will be dancing to
:37:19. > :37:23.some saxophone music. And I don't know if you knew this, but I can
:37:24. > :37:37.play the saxophone, so I thought I would play a bit. Here we go... I'm
:37:38. > :37:44.impressed! Thank you. MUSIC CONTINUES Excuse me a second!
:37:45. > :37:50.Our next couple is Greg Rutherford and his partner, Natalie Lowe.
:37:51. > :37:54.A dance that is all about keeping hold no matter what,
:37:55. > :37:56.and Natalie knew just the type of training that
:37:57. > :38:10.And going to see it now, be proud, it was your first dance ever. Last
:38:11. > :38:16.week was the most exhilarating, amazing thing I've ever had to do.
:38:17. > :38:22.Greg could go all the way, my darling! I was thrilled, so happy.
:38:23. > :38:27.Shall we cracked on? I am ready-ish. This week, we've got the tango. The
:38:28. > :38:31.tango is difficult, because your holding positions which are very
:38:32. > :38:34.unnatural. Tango was all about movement, power and posture. I've
:38:35. > :38:40.come up with an idea to help you with your frame. Oh, yes, what's
:38:41. > :38:47.that? Don't worry, you will find it a breeze. Greg Rutherford, time to
:38:48. > :38:53.meet your biggest fan. Welcome to the largest wind tunnel in the UK.
:38:54. > :38:58.What a nerve I doing in here? If you can maintain your frame in here, you
:38:59. > :39:04.can do it on the dance floor. Natalie, what are you doing?! For
:39:05. > :39:09.crying out loud! You have lost the plot! That was amazing. You did so
:39:10. > :39:17.well maintaining your friend. I think you need to give this a go.
:39:18. > :39:20.Really? She did that to help me improve my tango hold. I just hope I
:39:21. > :39:25.can blow her away at the weekend! Dancing the tango,
:39:26. > :41:24.Greg Rutherford and Natalie Lowe. Come on, Greg! Come on! What a
:41:25. > :41:28.dramatic end to that tango! Well done, good tango face. I you all
:41:29. > :41:32.right, my darling? You were a bit nervous about that, won't you? You
:41:33. > :41:38.surprised everybody last week, you surprised yourself most of all.
:41:39. > :41:43.Happy with how it went? Just about, you always remember the mistakes
:41:44. > :41:51.straightaway, so... Say nothing! How did they do, Len? Well, you know,
:41:52. > :42:00.the thing... Your bum sticks out. That's muscle. I've got a big bum.
:42:01. > :42:03.Your bum is sticking out, and that tends your top forward, so you're
:42:04. > :42:06.never really getting your legs underneath your body, because of
:42:07. > :42:12.this shape. However, having said that, I like the fire and the
:42:13. > :42:17.spirit, the staccato movement, I like the routine. You've not to
:42:18. > :42:25.work, in your ballroom, tucked it under! Is that possible? Well, it's
:42:26. > :42:30.very good for jumping, this big, that's the thing, so I'm really
:42:31. > :42:41.trying to lose it. Which really trying to get it under! So powerful,
:42:42. > :42:46.what a handsome man, look at that! You were going like a locomotive at
:42:47. > :42:52.full same! And I loved that, I loved the commitment choice you have to be
:42:53. > :42:58.careful, though, not to step it so much choice you have to glide a
:42:59. > :43:04.tango. The bum, I don't mind at all. I'm sorry, people! I'm getting into
:43:05. > :43:11.trouble yet again! But make sure you're gliding, not stepping. I'm
:43:12. > :43:16.watching you! Craig? As a track of as your bottom is, darling, it does
:43:17. > :43:20.need to go under. And you've got a lost body contact, unfortunately,
:43:21. > :43:24.you're not creating that wonderful V-shape which this dance needs. But
:43:25. > :43:29.what I did love from that was the intent and the amount of aggression.
:43:30. > :43:34.Fiery, wasn't it? Well, the boys have said it all, I loved the drive,
:43:35. > :43:39.the passion, the intent, I like the buttocks as well. But when they are
:43:40. > :43:43.that accentuated, as Bruno said, you have got to watch that. And it just
:43:44. > :43:47.helps the upper body. What it was powerful. Thank you very much! Get
:43:48. > :44:05.those popular buttocks upstairs! Well done! Standing ovation for Greg
:44:06. > :44:10.and Natalie. We were screaming up here. When you finished, she was
:44:11. > :44:15.screaming in my ear, he's a genius! You have never danced before, and to
:44:16. > :44:18.do that, because I know you get terrified, and everybody said,
:44:19. > :44:22.brilliant intent. How do you do that? I guessed I get into
:44:23. > :44:26.competition mode. But I have been terrified all day, and we had a
:44:27. > :44:30.couple of bad rehearsals as well, which is really worrying when you're
:44:31. > :44:31.coming into something like this. You've done it now! The scores are
:44:32. > :44:46.in... One less than last week, but you
:44:47. > :44:53.will take that? We will take that. If you enjoyed Greg
:44:54. > :44:55.and Natalie's tango, then all the details are on your screen
:44:56. > :44:58.now, so you can vote for them when voting opens
:44:59. > :45:01.at the end of the show. Still to come, Laura and Giovanni
:45:02. > :45:03.dance under the stairs... Our next couple is Tameka Empson
:45:04. > :45:16.and her partner, Gorka Marquez. Their Charleston is
:45:17. > :45:21.set at the seaside, with sandcastles, deck
:45:22. > :45:23.chairs and beach huts. They're even hoping for a paddle -
:45:24. > :45:38.well, four to be exact, Craig! I really enjoyed Saturday.
:45:39. > :45:49.You told me to go out there and own it, and that's what I did. The most
:45:50. > :46:00.perfect, dramatic thing I've seen. I'll take that. Thank you Darcey. It
:46:01. > :46:06.was a corka. This week I'm doing the Charleston. Shimmy, shimmy. Our
:46:07. > :46:10.theme for this week is the seaside. Have you been to the British
:46:11. > :46:17.seaside? No, never. No! Come and I'll show you. So, what do you
:46:18. > :46:22.think? Are you telling me this is the seaside. Where are the palm
:46:23. > :46:24.trees, the sand? Don't worry. I'm going to show you a good time. Come
:46:25. > :46:37.on! My experience at the seaside has
:46:38. > :46:42.been unbelievable. I loved everything. Doing the Charleston on
:46:43. > :46:48.Brighton Pier was such a lovely feeling. It was just so fitting.
:46:49. > :46:58.These fish and chips are amazing. If our dance is as amazing as this,
:46:59. > :47:01.we're going to knock the competition out of the water.
:47:02. > :47:03.Dancing the Charleston, Tameka Empson and Gorka Marquez.
:47:04. > :48:57.You lost something. They are on their feet in the studio. Have a
:48:58. > :49:04.look! First Charleston of the series. You brought the character.
:49:05. > :49:12.That must have been right up your street? Right up my street and down
:49:13. > :49:22.the street. Oh, right. You got down. Did this dance suit Tameka? Oh, yes.
:49:23. > :49:27.She was the Queen, Dee leerious fun of the right on. No danger of
:49:28. > :49:34.sinking to the bottom after this turn, I tell you that. Great. Oh,
:49:35. > :49:38.lovely. Can you imagine what he will be like by Christmas. Thank you,
:49:39. > :49:44.Bruno. Craig? A nice amount of swivel. A little bit more cross
:49:45. > :49:48.would have been delicious. It was completely character driven. I
:49:49. > :49:53.thought that was absolutely brilliant. Getting up from the floor
:49:54. > :50:00.seemed to be problematic. Then you made up for that, darling... It was
:50:01. > :50:08.a rough sea, it was a rough sea... Lovely stuff. Yes. Do me a favour!
:50:09. > :50:13.He's smiling. Darcey? I love your character. You just set the scene
:50:14. > :50:17.perfectly. I was in your movie. You were swimming through this
:50:18. > :50:21.competition. If you come up with characters like that, it's just to
:50:22. > :50:24.die for. I loved. It the details. That little kick and the drag.
:50:25. > :50:31.They're great. Well done. Thank you, Darcey. Len? Fun at the seaside. The
:50:32. > :50:37.tide is going out, but I tell you, you're not going anywhere.
:50:38. > :50:41.APPLAUSE Thank you. Thank you, judges. Praise across the board. The
:50:42. > :50:46.Charleston suits you, doesn't it? It's all right. It's Allardyce
:50:47. > :50:50.right. Make your way up to Claudia. Thank you, guys.
:50:51. > :51:05.CHEERING AND Do me a favour. We were screaming
:51:06. > :51:11.our heads off. Can I ask you, how are you fitting it all in,
:51:12. > :51:15.Charleston, EastEnders through the week? Yes, it's hard.
:51:16. > :51:19.You find a way. You find a way. The thing about it is, I'm not too
:51:20. > :51:26.stressed, everything I do I love. I love my family. I love EastEnders
:51:27. > :51:30.and I love dancing. So, yes! You juggle it, you know. Just waving at
:51:31. > :51:35.your daughter. I know she's watching. Hi. Which one? Anyone. It
:51:36. > :51:38.doesn't matter. I talk to all of them and just hope.
:51:39. > :52:08.Doing all right. Up on last week. Very well done.
:52:09. > :52:12.now so you can vote for them when voting opens at the end
:52:13. > :52:15.Still to come, Melvin dances in a hotel lift.
:52:16. > :52:19.It's a routine that has its ups and downs.
:52:20. > :52:26.Dancing next is Laura Whitmore and her partner, Giovanni Pernice.
:52:27. > :52:31.It's a routine where you should feel like your floating on air,
:52:32. > :52:35.and Giovanni knew just the place to get Laura in the mood.
:52:36. > :52:42.So what do you think about last week OK, but it could have been better. I
:52:43. > :52:47.thought the whole thing was a little bit unstable. You can give it more
:52:48. > :52:53.intention. First out, first-class, well done. I want to give so much
:52:54. > :52:57.more. I'm going to take everything they said and learn from it and
:52:58. > :53:03.then, hopefully, put on a good performance this week, like I know I
:53:04. > :53:11.can. This week we are dancing the waltz to If I Ain't Got You. I have
:53:12. > :53:17.an idea to get Laura in the mood for this dance. Are you taking me to a
:53:18. > :53:23.being ro concert, my favourite. We are going to climb... To the top.
:53:24. > :53:29.Yes, we are. Giovanni brought me here to climb to the top of the O2,
:53:30. > :53:33.which is under the stars. Let's go. I'm feeling petrified. I didn't
:53:34. > :53:39.think I was afraid of heights, but that's quite high. Yes. How cool is
:53:40. > :53:43.this. The view was awesome. It's crazy, you kind of see all of
:53:44. > :53:47.London, all of it. Not to just be up here, but to dance up here, it's
:53:48. > :53:53.pretty impressive. Dancing here is an amazing feeling. He has pulled
:53:54. > :53:58.out all the stops bringing me and preparing me for the waltz. I hope I
:53:59. > :54:01.can pull out a star performance on Saturday night.
:54:02. > :54:04.Dancing the Waltz, Laura Whitmore and Giovanni Pernice.
:54:05. > :56:05.Laura. That was so graceful. You should be over the moon with that?
:56:06. > :56:11.Hey, I was technically under the moon. Let's hope you will not come
:56:12. > :56:17.down-to-earth because it's Craig. Hi? Hi. I think you skipped a little
:56:18. > :56:25.bit out of that back, sort of, standing spin moment. I have to say,
:56:26. > :56:30.it was absolutely gorgeous that routine. I loved the punctuation. It
:56:31. > :56:35.was romantic without being over sentimental or soppy. I really,
:56:36. > :56:43.really enjoyed it a lot. Thank you. Darcey? Laura, the emotion and
:56:44. > :56:46.elegance and this beautifully extended back where you did that
:56:47. > :56:51.unfolding at the front, like that. The control, to be able to sustain
:56:52. > :56:58.that, stunning. Beautiful work. APPLAUSE You look a bit emotional
:56:59. > :57:01.there? It's very emotional. Len? Your frame was good. I loved the
:57:02. > :57:12.standing spin. It was fast and it was clean. Beautiful throwaway
:57:13. > :57:16.oversway. I love the mix of light, speed and then slow. A solid
:57:17. > :57:27.performance. Well done. Brown owe, do you agree? So silky smooth. Such
:57:28. > :57:31.sophistication and demure. It had an intensity. It was like watching two
:57:32. > :57:37.dances combined into one. It just had a very special quality that I
:57:38. > :57:44.love. I love when things I haven't seen interpreted this way before.
:57:45. > :57:48.Excellent. Praise from the judges. Someone is more at home in the
:57:49. > :57:57.ballroom, possibly. Off you go. Go and see Claudia. Well done, my
:57:58. > :57:59.darling. Laura and Giovanni. CHEERING AND
:58:00. > :58:12.APPLAUSE Well done. You are the biggest
:58:13. > :58:17.Strictly super fan we ever had. I look at your face and I think you're
:58:18. > :58:23.going to cry It's so emotional. Can you believe it's happening It's
:58:24. > :58:24.like, when I'm behind stage, this is Strictly, I can see how it all
:58:25. > :58:47.works. The judges scores are in. Highest score of the night. Are you
:58:48. > :58:51.going object all right Yes. Well done.
:58:52. > :58:54.If you loved Laura and Giovanni, all the details are on your screen
:58:55. > :58:56.now so you can vote for them when voting opens at
:58:57. > :59:11.Still to come. Ed does the Charleston dressed as a cowboy. Ed.
:59:12. > :59:17.You're welcome. You really are welcome.
:59:18. > :59:22.Our next couple is Melvin O'Doom and his partner Janette Manrara.
:59:23. > :59:26.For their Tango they're taking on the role of hotel bellboys.
:59:27. > :59:28.And just like the finest hotels, I know they are going
:59:29. > :59:42.Our dance is all about fun, crazy hats. I enjoyed it. An iron board is
:59:43. > :59:47.less stiff. I mean, I've never been compared to an ironing board before.
:59:48. > :59:54.We can take it, week one. I'm happy we got through it. Melvin wakes up
:59:55. > :59:59.early to do his radio show. Sometimes I get here and find him
:00:00. > :00:03.like this. Rise and shine. Dreaming about doing the tango. Because he is
:00:04. > :00:08.showing dedication to the dance, Janette is stepping into his shoes
:00:09. > :00:12.for the day. A very early day. It's so dark outside. Morning. How are
:00:13. > :00:22.you Hello. Feeling It's really early. It is early. 7.05am. We are
:00:23. > :00:27.here until 10.00am. I'm fine. I will have more energy than normal. We
:00:28. > :00:31.have a special guest on the show... He's working so hard. We see him
:00:32. > :00:35.everything morning coming in. He looks so tired. You have made him
:00:36. > :00:40.not moody. There you go. I don't have the energy. Bring it home for
:00:41. > :00:45.the team. Yes. Good luck. You will be great. We can relax? No, we have
:00:46. > :00:50.a full day of rehearsals. No. Come on. It's a very long day. That
:00:51. > :00:52.doesn't mean I will stop pushing him because I want him to deliver on
:00:53. > :01:00.Saturday night. Dancing the tango, Melvin Odoom
:01:01. > :02:58.and Janette Manrara. APPLAUSE
:02:59. > :05:24.across the dance floor. I could see, Come on, you two, I loved you, that
:05:25. > :05:30.was the first time I have ever seen you not smile. It's so hard to look
:05:31. > :05:36.angry in that dance. But they said there was improvement. Yes, and I'm
:05:37. > :05:42.happy with that. And I like the fact that at the age of 36, you had never
:05:43. > :05:59.had coffee before, until Strictly. The scores are in.
:06:00. > :06:03.23, well done, that's up on last week.
:06:04. > :06:05.If you enjoyed that Tango and you want to keep Melvin
:06:06. > :06:09.and Janette in the competition, all the details are on your screen
:06:10. > :06:12.now so you can vote for them when voting opens at the end
:06:13. > :06:22.Dancing next is Louise Redknapp and her partner, Kevin Clifton.
:06:23. > :06:32.a dance that requires a lot of spins, something that has been
:06:33. > :06:41.She should talk to Ed Balls, he knows a few spin doctors!
:06:42. > :06:56.Could not be more happy about how it went. That floated my boat, totally.
:06:57. > :07:01.Floated Len's boat! We're working on the Viennese waltz, and it's all
:07:02. > :07:07.about the terms. The Viennese waltz gives me that motion sickness. With
:07:08. > :07:11.the threat of Louise decorating the dance floor, Kevin has come up with
:07:12. > :07:23.a cunning plan which will help her get over her dizziness. Kevin, why
:07:24. > :07:27.have you brought me to the woods? We are going zorbing. Once you've been
:07:28. > :07:32.zorbing, nothing can be as bad as that. See you at the bottom! It
:07:33. > :07:47.seems a long way down. Here she goes!
:07:48. > :07:58.Well done! Would you rather do that again or do the Viennese waltz?
:07:59. > :08:02.Viennese waltz! Yes! After doing that, the Phoenix waltz on Saturday
:08:03. > :08:07.SHOULD be a piece of cake! Dancing the Viennese waltz,
:08:08. > :08:17.Louise Redknapp and Kevin Clifton. All that rotation -
:08:18. > :10:19.how are you feeling A little bit dizzy! We have got a
:10:20. > :10:30.bucket on stand-by, don't worry. Len, you had high expectations? Yes,
:10:31. > :10:34.I was very excited, because I spotted the first fleckle of the
:10:35. > :10:39.year! Nice frame, got a little bit lumpy, but I think that was the
:10:40. > :10:44.speed on the movement. But actually, you're a fantastic dancer, well
:10:45. > :10:53.done. Bruno? It was exquisitely lyrical. Your arms move like water,
:10:54. > :10:59.like Darcey Bussell. All those beautiful extensions, I adore that.
:11:00. > :11:07.In your spins, the synchronisation, that was beautiful, absolutely
:11:08. > :11:12.beautiful. Craig? I thought it was a little too much rise and fall, but
:11:13. > :11:18.apart from that, I thought it was expressive and smooth, completely
:11:19. > :11:24.controlled, I thought - gorgeous. Darcey, she's just been compared to
:11:25. > :11:28.you! Louise, the quality you sustained throughout the whole of
:11:29. > :11:32.the dance, and that is difficult. Especially as your spinning. But
:11:33. > :11:39.what you have is, you understand how to fill out every beat of that music
:11:40. > :11:44.- does lyrical arms, as Bruno says, they finish the last minute of every
:11:45. > :11:51.beat. Stunning. Got to be happy with that? Going a bit misty around the
:11:52. > :12:00.eyes! Thank you very much to our judges for those positive comments.
:12:01. > :12:16.Full house, well done! Well done, beautiful. Very well done. I also
:12:17. > :12:22.saw, you get so dizzy, so how was it for you? Still dizzy! Also, I
:12:23. > :12:26.realise that you had totally forgotten the routine. You were
:12:27. > :12:32.going, how does it go again? What is the first step?! And you remembered
:12:33. > :12:36.tonight? Well, you did not tell me if you did forget it! The scores are
:12:37. > :12:57.in... One more than last week, and your
:12:58. > :13:00.joint top of the leaderboard. Very well done.
:13:01. > :13:03.If you want to see Louise and Kevin come back next
:13:04. > :13:06.week then vote for them, all the details are on your screen
:13:07. > :13:08.now and voting opens after all our couples have danced.
:13:09. > :13:11.And remember the deal - if you want to vote online, you'll
:13:12. > :13:15.need to go to the website and sign in or register for a BBC Account
:13:16. > :13:46.I'm slightly worried about the legal implications, if I drop her. I'm
:13:47. > :13:51.having difficulty remembering the order of the steps. We go that way
:13:52. > :13:58.and then that way. It's driving me a bit... I'm looking forward to doing
:13:59. > :14:01.my first Latin dance. On national television, looking at the camera
:14:02. > :14:08.and going... I'm not quite used to it yet.
:14:09. > :14:12.It's Anastacia and her partner Brendan Cole.
:14:13. > :14:27.Due to Anastasia suffering an injury in rehearsals, they have had to
:14:28. > :14:32.re-choreograph. That will not stop her channelling her in Anastasia.
:14:33. > :14:39.That's right. I was really pleased with last weekend, we did a great
:14:40. > :14:47.dance. I was nervous that I disappointed you. I love it,
:14:48. > :14:53.darlings! We can just pretend that spin more still exist in dance. It
:14:54. > :15:01.wasn't perfect. I don't want perfect, I want you. This week
:15:02. > :15:11.Brendan is trying to help Anastasia get into character for her sizzling
:15:12. > :15:17.dance. So it's very Latin, right? It's like, you're my boyfriend. No,
:15:18. > :15:25.you're not! I think it's working, she is feeling like she could be in
:15:26. > :15:35.Buenos Aires. Latina is feisty and flirty and passionate, and of
:15:36. > :15:49.course, a little loca. I think I've created a monster. I think I've
:15:50. > :15:50.channelled my inner Latina Anastasia, and Brendan says I'm
:15:51. > :15:55.going to do great on Saturday. Dancing the Salsa,
:15:56. > :17:44.Anastacia and Brendan Cole. Well done, Anastacia. And Brendan.
:17:45. > :17:47.You've had a difficult day today with the injury and all and you
:17:48. > :17:55.still gave it your everything. So well done. Thank you. Very, very
:17:56. > :18:00.brave. I know that took a lot. Let's see what the judges think?
:18:01. > :18:05.Considering the situation I still thought you had Anastacia goes gaga.
:18:06. > :18:10.You gave it all up here, obviously... You could have done
:18:11. > :18:15.with much more action, how am I going to say that... Down stairs.
:18:16. > :18:21.O-. The hip side. I know there was a problem. That restrained you.
:18:22. > :18:25.Obviously, the performance facially and with intentions were right. It
:18:26. > :18:33.needs much more moves down there for the next time when you will be fit.
:18:34. > :18:40.Yeah? OK. Craig. I thought the under arm turns, all of them, were very
:18:41. > :18:44.clunky. It was happen haz for me. Replaced foot work. No rotation in
:18:45. > :18:54.the hips whatsoever. I will disagree. OK going side to side. The
:18:55. > :18:56.armography was not fluid. After the back bend you Wembley Stadium up and
:18:57. > :19:02.Chancellor of the Exchequered Brendan across the face. That was so
:19:03. > :19:08.part of our choreography. I would have done that too, darling. I try
:19:09. > :19:12.not to take up too much time. We had a great couple of lifts in there.
:19:13. > :19:17.Because of the injuries we decided this morning to change the
:19:18. > :19:20.choreography. To put somebody out there, change choreography on the
:19:21. > :19:26.day... Very brave. It wassout standing. Credit where it's due.
:19:27. > :19:30.Thank you. Darcey. The salsa has to be hot and spicy. You have no
:19:31. > :19:35.problem with that. There is plenty of that, thank You. Thank you. I can
:19:36. > :19:41.see you are a perfectionist. It annoys you that you can't do it to
:19:42. > :19:47.your full. What you did give us was great, thank you. Len. Craig's
:19:48. > :19:52.philosophy is never leave a turn unstoned. You came out, you gave it
:19:53. > :19:56.your all. That is all you can do. Considering you have an injury, you
:19:57. > :19:59.have had to totally change the choreography. I felt you did a good
:20:00. > :20:05.job. Well done. APPLAUSE We'll take that one. We all
:20:06. > :20:12.applaud you because you are brilliant. Thank you. We know you
:20:13. > :20:17.have had a tough day. Go and get some TLC. Claudia.
:20:18. > :20:28.APPLAUSE Very, very well done. Most of the judges absolutely loved it.
:20:29. > :20:33.They loved the sauciness, the attitude, did you enjoy it out there
:20:34. > :20:38.Is I adore the salsa for me not to be able to do it 100%, which is a
:20:39. > :20:43.bummer, I'm going to do it in a club somewhere with you. We will do it in
:20:44. > :20:51.a club. Do it somewhere where no-one judges me. Give me me a salsa. If
:20:52. > :21:21.you tell me... The scores are in. 22. That's OK. It's OK. I want to be
:21:22. > :21:23.22. I am 22. Thank you, I appreciate it, guys.
:21:24. > :21:25.If you want Anastacia and Brendan to stay in the competition
:21:26. > :21:28.you can vote for them after all of our couples
:21:29. > :21:30.have danced, the details are on your screen now.
:21:31. > :21:36.Naga is behind a curtain. She be preparing for her cha-cha or playing
:21:37. > :21:41.hide-and-seek. Tess. Our next couple to dance is Ed Balls
:21:42. > :21:44.and his partner, Katya Jones. Last week's Waltz saw them
:21:45. > :21:48.at the bottom of the leaderboard. It's a routine that's packed
:21:49. > :21:52.with fun and it's just the thing to put a smile on Ed's face,
:21:53. > :21:55.a spring in his step and, fingers crossed,
:21:56. > :22:06.a leg up the leaderboard. The first week is over. I was so
:22:07. > :22:10.proud. I was so chuffed. I was disappointed because I made a
:22:11. > :22:13.mistake. You went horribly wrong going across at the beginning. I
:22:14. > :22:17.think the most important thing I'm taking on board is what Darcey said.
:22:18. > :22:21.Think of a story to give you direction and then build on that
:22:22. > :22:26.character. I've got to learn from that. If you come bottom of the
:22:27. > :22:31.leaderboard, then the only way is up. This week our dance is
:22:32. > :22:37.Charleston. Ah, Charleston. After last week, which was quite serene
:22:38. > :22:43.and conservative, this time we have to go for it. She doesn't like it
:22:44. > :22:51.when I'm concentrating in a frowny way. Stop. Character is going to be
:22:52. > :22:55.everything. Yes, better. We really concentrated on showing a totally
:22:56. > :23:01.different Ed, I think we're going to succeed. The idea I'm turning to the
:23:02. > :23:05.camera and going... It isn't me. I don't want to let her down and be
:23:06. > :23:12.the first to go home. Charleston is a dance where you have to go for it,
:23:13. > :23:16.full-throttle. Are you focused? Yep. I might be more comfortable walking
:23:17. > :23:18.over Westminster Bridge in a suit. Put on my Charleston head and - off
:23:19. > :23:22.we go! Dancing the Charleston,
:23:23. > :25:24.Ed Balls and Katya Jones. Ed, look at the room. I know! They
:25:25. > :25:33.loved it. APPLAUSE I love that you came over
:25:34. > :25:38.here and you went "boom" you gave that everything. Full-throttle and
:25:39. > :25:41.the kitchen sink. Darcey said, get in character. We got in character
:25:42. > :25:55.and we went for it. You did. Thank you very much. Thank you. Oh, we
:25:56. > :25:59.loved it. Let's see if Craig did. Bottom of the leaderboard, he's
:26:00. > :26:03.teasing you now. He was bottom of the leaderboard last week, Craig.
:26:04. > :26:09.Tell us he was better tonight? Stop it, stop it. He can't standstill.
:26:10. > :26:16.That's a sight I don't think I ever wish to see again.
:26:17. > :26:23.BOOING This dance is meant to be goofy, I'm afraid that is the wrong
:26:24. > :26:33.side of goofy. Novp O! Sadly, it did have an air of desperation about it
:26:34. > :26:40.as well. There was no cross, no swivel, technically inaccurate...
:26:41. > :26:45.Craig! Oh, yes. Even for you, Craig. What about the character, what about
:26:46. > :26:51.the energy? You were oozing it. Well done. I have to say, I didn't think
:26:52. > :26:55.I was going to see that musical bounce through your body, all the
:26:56. > :27:01.way through. You stayed in sync all the way through. Yes. I was not
:27:02. > :27:05.expecting that. You have worked so hard, I can see. She's been
:27:06. > :27:12.absolutely brilliant. Very good teacher. Brill yanlt. Stayed in
:27:13. > :27:16.character as well. He is still in it, Darcey. Len, you are laughing?
:27:17. > :27:25.You have been to the country before and didn't do very well. But... But
:27:26. > :27:36.tonight... We did win three elections! He got you. You came out
:27:37. > :27:43.with enthusiasm. You got stuck in. I liked the routine. Listen, people
:27:44. > :27:49.are not stupid. You got a standing ovation because it was so much fun.
:27:50. > :27:55.APPLAUSE Bruno. I cannot believe it. What a
:27:56. > :28:05.comeback, Tony Blair would be proud, I tell you that. It's good you can
:28:06. > :28:13.see the funny side of both. He faffing around like a rouster. You
:28:14. > :28:17.never lost time. You were doing a proper, proper dance. You should be
:28:18. > :28:23.You should be proud. Proud. We enjoyed it immensely. Thank you. Go
:28:24. > :28:24.and see Claudia, Ed. CHEERING AND
:28:25. > :28:40.APPLAUSE Well done you took the judges'
:28:41. > :28:44.comments on board. You were like, this is what I will do. I will put
:28:45. > :28:49.my Charleston head on. Is I never knew I had one. To be honest with
:28:50. > :28:52.you, I was wochg throughout that routine your wife's face. It was a
:28:53. > :28:59.picture. She was like - oh, there's my boy. She was excellent. I think
:29:00. > :29:05.she wants to learn it. He could do it better than me. You can do it in
:29:06. > :29:28.the kitchen tomorrow. The judges scores are in.
:29:29. > :29:33.You go - again! You have to be happy. We worked so hard. So many
:29:34. > :29:37.people make this show work behind-the-scenes. They helped me so
:29:38. > :29:42.much. Thank you to everybody. It's been fabulous. Thank you. If you
:29:43. > :29:46.enjoyed that country routine, slap your thigh and shout "ye-har" and
:29:47. > :29:51.vote for them. All the details are on your screen now. Voting opens at
:29:52. > :29:55.the end of the show. Still to come, two words - Judge Rinder. Nuf said.
:29:56. > :30:02.Tess. Our next couple is Naga Munchetty
:30:03. > :30:05.and her partner Pasha Kovalev. It's a challenging dance that
:30:06. > :30:10.requires a lot of hip movement, but has it got Naga saying
:30:11. > :30:28.hip, hip, hooray? Week one, first bands. Right
:30:29. > :30:36.afterwards, I was really down. You did one step too many, which mess
:30:37. > :30:42.due up a bit. You do have a wonderful, wonderful potential. So I
:30:43. > :30:50.feel quite good about that. This week, we're doing cha-cha-cha, and
:30:51. > :30:57.it's so important to get Naga's Hibs going. What am I struggling with?
:30:58. > :31:05.Lots of hips. So pressure is bringing someone in to help. Doing
:31:06. > :31:10.the cha-cha-cha, it's pretty hip intensive. We're hoping that this
:31:11. > :31:14.will help you loosen up those hips. Hips, hips, hips. It was good fun
:31:15. > :31:19.but it was all about getting the hips moving. I think we're getting
:31:20. > :31:24.there. She was brilliant, actually! You could see a big befriends
:31:25. > :31:33.straightaway. You've totally nailed the basics, so let's have a go.
:31:34. > :31:37.Three, two, one... All of this is making me go a bit loopy. I never
:31:38. > :31:39.thought doing, who who would be the answer. It's certainly got me moving
:31:40. > :31:42.my hips. Dancing the cha-cha-cha,
:31:43. > :33:35.Naga Munchetty and Pasha Kovalev. Well done! Naga and Pasha, what a
:33:36. > :33:41.transformation. Tina Turner would-be per! Are you enjoying the new look?
:33:42. > :33:47.You're wearing it well! Darcey, did she do? Well, for a start, you look
:33:48. > :33:54.absolutely stunning! I think you'd better wear one of those on Actress
:33:55. > :34:00.TV. I think my editor would have fit. You look amazing, and you
:34:01. > :34:03.started particularly well. I just fear that I can see the
:34:04. > :34:07.concentration in your face. That's the only thing that worries me, that
:34:08. > :34:11.you're slightly disconnect, because you're focusing so much on getting
:34:12. > :34:16.everything correct. That's the only thing I lose. Or I want you to do is
:34:17. > :34:19.get that confidence, and focus on Pasha, don't think about anybody
:34:20. > :34:31.else, just him and everything he's told you. Len? Well, there was a lot
:34:32. > :34:39.of mistakes in that, but... I mean, there was! There was a lot of
:34:40. > :34:44.mistakes going on - what I like, you had that sultry sort of character
:34:45. > :34:49.going. So I liked that, the feel of it. I would have just like due to
:34:50. > :34:53.have nailed the routine better. I think that's the first thing you've
:34:54. > :35:02.got to do, nail the routine, then work on the character. Bruno? Well,
:35:03. > :35:07.I loved the vamped up to the max look. The that, only Naomi Campbell
:35:08. > :35:14.could work that better. But what happens is, you do everything, but
:35:15. > :35:20.your tension doesn't carry the body all the way through. So instead of
:35:21. > :35:25.being right on it all the time, but at the way she walks the walk, look
:35:26. > :35:28.at that intensity through the body. You just lose it and then it looks
:35:29. > :35:34.like you're stumbling. You're not actually doing that badly, it's
:35:35. > :35:38.because your energy falls off. You really have to work on that. Look at
:35:39. > :35:41.our professional girls, look how no Amy walks, because you have to have
:35:42. > :35:49.that within you, because you have the talent. -- look at how Naomi
:35:50. > :35:52.walks. It was spiky, it was flat-footed, your arms lacked any
:35:53. > :36:01.sort of placement. Timing and balance issues, riddled with
:36:02. > :36:04.mistakes, not a great one. I want to say thank you, judges, but I'm not
:36:05. > :36:19.sure. Thank you very much! Well done, off Yugo! Naga and Pasha! We
:36:20. > :36:26.thought it was completely magnificent. You do get really
:36:27. > :36:32.scared, don't you? Yes. Protected you prefer the Latin to the waltz?
:36:33. > :36:33.Yes, a bit. Dobbie scared, it's going to be fine. The scores are
:36:34. > :36:56.in... That's exactly the same score as
:36:57. > :36:59.last week. Yes, and look at that character. I walked in the room, and
:37:00. > :37:10.I was like... Amazing! If you thought Naga
:37:11. > :37:12.and her Private Dancer were Simply The Best,
:37:13. > :37:15.she'd be a Proud Mary if you voted for her when voting opens
:37:16. > :37:17.at the end of the show. Next, it's Judge Rinder
:37:18. > :37:20.and his partner Oksana Platero. This week they're doing
:37:21. > :37:22.the American Smooth. It's a dance that has
:37:23. > :37:25.all the glamour of old Hollywood, but will it be good enough
:37:26. > :37:37.to see him through to next You know what? I feel good after the
:37:38. > :37:42.weekend. I listen to everything you had to say, which is, you're not a
:37:43. > :37:53.dancer, yet, just have fun! Great gusto and personality. It was
:37:54. > :38:02.extraordinary. I think it deserves better scores, but it definitely.
:38:03. > :38:05.Audience over. So this week is the American smooth foxtrot. I really
:38:06. > :38:10.like this dance because I love Fred Astaire, and it has that sort of
:38:11. > :38:13.quality. My grandparents were very much the generation of Fred Astaire
:38:14. > :38:19.and Ginger Rogers. They are coming to date, and they have danced their
:38:20. > :38:25.whole lives. It was partly the reason that I did Strictly. So I'm
:38:26. > :38:28.really excited for them to see it. What we've seen today is absolutely
:38:29. > :38:35.amazing. I couldn't believe it, I was so impressed. Grandparents love
:38:36. > :38:39.the foxtrot, and that they came and that they enjoyed it, means a lot to
:38:40. > :38:48.me. Best part was, I got to see my grandfather dancing with Oxana.
:38:49. > :38:49.Although this man who is nearly 90 was better than me within a few
:38:50. > :38:55.minutes. Absolutely brilliant! Dancing the American smooth,
:38:56. > :41:00.Judge Rinder and Oksana Platero. I certainly hope so. They're
:41:01. > :41:08.adorable! They're so much better than me. Hello, everybody! You were
:41:09. > :41:17.channelling Fred Astaire. Well, sort of, yes. How did he do, Len? The
:41:18. > :41:28.parts in hold I thought were elegant. Parts out of hold I thought
:41:29. > :41:31.were a little bit wild. And you got access to with heel leads, you were
:41:32. > :41:35.sticking them heels in anywhere you could. But I had my that, at least
:41:36. > :41:41.you were attempting to get the footwork. As I said previously,
:41:42. > :41:46.elegant, my set style, and better than last week. Bruno? My darling,
:41:47. > :41:50.you went from Fred Astaire to Fred Insein. Both were equally
:41:51. > :41:56.entertaining. So straight in the hold, mental on your lifts. But I
:41:57. > :42:04.tell you, you really had an amazing effect. And you can actually dance,
:42:05. > :42:12.you know. You can dance! Craig? Unfortunately, you have hands like a
:42:13. > :42:17.bricklayer's trowel. You need to get some shaping through those ugly
:42:18. > :42:21.hands. And you need to calm down. You're very, you're dancing is very
:42:22. > :42:27.noisy. And it needs to be a little bit quieter, darling. Really, look
:42:28. > :42:31.in the mirror next time. You dance, look at your face in the mirror.
:42:32. > :42:38.It's still quite annoying. We love that faced! How dare he? You're just
:42:39. > :42:48.jealous I can smile this broadly, I think, Craig. Darcey? For me, what
:42:49. > :42:57.surprised me in, how I usually athletic, how smoothly you lifted
:42:58. > :43:06.Oksana, you made it look so simple, those are difficult lifts. And I was
:43:07. > :43:23.taken aback, it was very impressive, well done. I thought on the whole it
:43:24. > :43:30.was good. Very well done! I'm just thrilled I didn't drop her. Those
:43:31. > :43:34.were very difficult lifts. Apparently if you drop the dancer,
:43:35. > :43:49.you have to pay for it. The scores are in.
:43:50. > :44:05.Are you happy, Oksana? It was beautiful, it was fantastic. To keep
:44:06. > :44:05.them in the competition, you must vote for them.
:44:06. > :44:08.To keep Judge Rinder and Oksana in the competition,
:44:09. > :44:10.you must vote for them - all the details are
:44:11. > :44:24.Next up is Daisy Lowe and her partner Aljaz Skorjanec.
:44:25. > :44:28.They topped the leaderboard last week, but they can't
:44:29. > :44:33.This week's dance is set in the 1950's, so to get
:44:34. > :44:36.into character they went ten pin bowling.
:44:37. > :44:45.Here's hoping they strike it lucky again tonight.
:44:46. > :44:59.I'm still amazed about how our waltz came across. I was so proud of you.
:45:00. > :45:02.Last Saturday was a moment I am so proud of, I will never forget it. I
:45:03. > :45:08.am still in shock about what the judges said. I don't think I have
:45:09. > :45:23.ever seen a dance better than that for week one, ever. I just can't
:45:24. > :45:30.wait for Week Two. For Week Two, I'm quite excited because it is a Latin
:45:31. > :45:35.dance, I'm looking forward to having some fun. We're going to be working
:45:36. > :45:38.in an American diner, in the 1950s. I figure the best way to get you
:45:39. > :45:45.into characteristic take you bowling. I'm in my 1950s American
:45:46. > :45:54.attire, I've got my milkshake, let's bowl! Come on, Daisy! I definitely
:45:55. > :45:58.hope that Daisy is going to be better with her dancing shoes, than
:45:59. > :46:07.she was in her bowling shoes. My bowling wasn't great. Let's just
:46:08. > :46:10.hope that on Saturday night I will be better with my cha-cha-cha.
:46:11. > :46:20.Dancing the Cha Cha Cha, Daisy Lowe and Aljaz Skorjanec.
:46:21. > :48:02.Come on over. Come on. We won't forget you in a hurry, Daisy. Did
:48:03. > :48:07.you enjoy showing off your fun side this week? It was fun having a
:48:08. > :48:12.giggle up there. Yeah. That lovely smile. Top of the leaderboard last
:48:13. > :48:20.week. Bruno, how did she do last night? Daisy always serves a hot
:48:21. > :48:24.dish and an even hotter cha-cha-cha. Oozing natural sex appeal. I'm
:48:25. > :48:31.hooked. I want some more, please, now! Craig. The upper body lacked a
:48:32. > :48:34.bit of attack. You should have attacked the upper body like you did
:48:35. > :48:39.below. You lost a straight leg on occasion,
:48:40. > :48:44.but I really enjoyed it. Thank goodness for that. Darcey? You are
:48:45. > :48:48.such a natural mover. I are sassy, flirty, your attitude. You have the
:48:49. > :48:53.eyes on him. That was brilliant. I was... You had a lot of technique. I
:48:54. > :48:57.couldn't take my eyes off those legs. They are far too - take them
:48:58. > :49:06.away. You are going to go far. That is great. High praise from Darcey.
:49:07. > :49:12.Len. You are equally at home in ballroom and Latin. You did a lift,
:49:13. > :49:16.that was a lift and... The throw thing was a lift. In my opinion.
:49:17. > :49:22.Both feet came off the ground. Cha-cha-cha is one of the dances
:49:23. > :49:28.where you musn't do that. So, oi, you, cut out the lifts, sunshine.
:49:29. > :49:40.He's a stickler for the rules, our Len. We all loved it. Thank you very
:49:41. > :49:42.much. Off you go. Daisy and Aljaz. CHEERING AND
:49:43. > :49:53.APPLAUSE We adored it. You love the emotion of the waltz, you were so.
:49:54. > :50:00.Hay I was. I have a bow in high hair. A little skirt. Ballroom or
:50:01. > :50:13.Latin, which suits Daisy more? Both. A good answer. The scores are in.
:50:14. > :50:25.Had to deduct a point, seven. Are you happy. Two less than last weeks.
:50:26. > :50:34.Still a fantastic score. If that left you hungry for more,
:50:35. > :50:37.all the details are on your screen now so you can vote for them
:50:38. > :50:39.when voting opens at the end of the show.
:50:40. > :50:44.Our final couple on the floor are Danny Mac and his
:50:45. > :50:48.Last week Danny wowed everyone with his superb Cha Cha.
:50:49. > :50:51.Len thought he'd fallen asleep and woken up in week 10!
:50:52. > :50:54.But this week Danny has got a new challenge, Ballroom,
:50:55. > :51:15.Last Saturday night was probably one of the best experiences of my life.
:51:16. > :51:22.You were amazing. You smashed it. 100% you are a contender. It's
:51:23. > :51:25.flattering he thinks I am a contender after. That there is a lot
:51:26. > :51:30.to do before I can think that far ahead. This week we are doing the
:51:31. > :51:33.Viennese waltz. Last week went better than we could ever have
:51:34. > :51:39.hoped. So this week the pressure is really on. The posture in the
:51:40. > :51:44.Viennese waltz is the most important things. I'm struggling with the
:51:45. > :51:53.posture. It's alien to me. It needs a lot of work. Put your butt in. I
:51:54. > :51:59.have a surprise for you. Oti decided to bring in some apparatus. It was
:52:00. > :52:05.some handle bars I wear around my neck to put my posture in the right
:52:06. > :52:11.place. You are ready for week two. I'm feeling it. My neck hurt, my
:52:12. > :52:17.shoulders hurt. My arms hurt. I'm tired. I need to go to Show me the
:52:18. > :52:21.bed. Posture. Yes, yes! As long as I can get the holds, the posture and
:52:22. > :52:27.the steps right, I might have half a chance.
:52:28. > :52:29.Dancing the Viennese Waltz, Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse.
:52:30. > :54:29.That was wonderful to watch. Standing ovation for you Danny Mac.
:54:30. > :54:31.You did so well. More drama than an
:54:32. > :54:39.episode of Hollyoaks. Slightly, yeah. So much drama. You
:54:40. > :54:43.would never tear anyone apart, would you, Craig? No, never. Not after
:54:44. > :54:51.that anyway. I think you are a fantastic dancer. You really are.
:54:52. > :54:56.APPLAUSE The American Smooth moment I was in two minds about. I actually
:54:57. > :54:59.ended up loving it. I thought that was absolutely brilliant that
:55:00. > :55:04.section there. You got a bit skippy in the second part of that Viennese.
:55:05. > :55:13.You lost the smoothness of it, but, wow, fantastic. Darcey? Yeah, Danny,
:55:14. > :55:18.your focus, the intent you have to do really well. I can see it. You're
:55:19. > :55:23.really aiming for the top here. Very early on. It's elegant. The way you
:55:24. > :55:27.held your top line all the way through. I would only say, I would
:55:28. > :55:30.agree with Craig, you do get skippy. I think that's because you are
:55:31. > :55:39.trying to travel and trying to push out too much. You get those little
:55:40. > :55:44.in between and missing that glide. Occasionally, it hits the spot.
:55:45. > :55:52.Overall a very nice dance. Very nice, indeed. Len? I wasn't exactly
:55:53. > :55:57.transported to old Vienna, if I'm honest with you. It was a modern
:55:58. > :56:06.twist on a traditional dance which I enjoyed very much. SCEREAMING
:56:07. > :56:16.What a shocker. In hold you have to keep your head to the left... On the
:56:17. > :56:22.pivot. You have to get the head to the left and keep it there.
:56:23. > :56:28.Terrific. Well done. Great dance. Reending on a high Bruno? It was
:56:29. > :56:32.like watching a waltzing heart-throb. A Viennese waltz put
:56:33. > :56:37.together by ten sees Williams. Dancing is not just doing steps,
:56:38. > :56:44.it's the intention behind it, telling a story, acting it. You
:56:45. > :56:47.acted like a star. Everything was so crystal clear. The story was
:56:48. > :56:51.brilliant. You would drive through the movement with intention. That is
:56:52. > :56:56.what I like to see. Something that gets me going and you did. I'm sure
:56:57. > :57:00.all of this studio is going with you.
:57:01. > :57:03.APPLAUSE Yes, the judges are happy. I hope you are happy with those
:57:04. > :57:06.comments. Well done. Claudia is waiting with your scores. It's Danny
:57:07. > :57:23.and Oti. Well done you! Beautiful choreography. You work so
:57:24. > :57:28.hard at this. You really care, don't you? A lot of things in this I was
:57:29. > :57:32.really struggling with. We had four days to do it, as everyone did. You
:57:33. > :57:34.have to focus on the things you can't get. Well done. The scores are
:57:35. > :57:50.in. Well done. More than last week. Very
:57:51. > :57:59.well done. If the thought of losing Danny
:58:00. > :58:01.and Oti gets your goatie - forgive me, Oti - all the details
:58:02. > :58:05.you need to vote for him are on your screen now and voting
