:00:12. > :00:24.Last week Strictly went to the movies. Some delivered a blockbuster
:00:25. > :00:32.performance. I understand how good that was. Others went straight to
:00:33. > :00:41.DVD. I cannot believe what I have just seen. A shock dance-off saw
:00:42. > :00:50.Tameka failing to make the final cut. With Hollywood a distant
:00:51. > :00:55.memory, it is back to reality. After last week we know we are not safe.
:00:56. > :01:06.We have to work so hard to be back next week. You are amazing. I cannot
:01:07. > :01:53.stomach the dance-off. This is Strictly Come Dancing.
:01:54. > :01:57.Live from the BBC this is Strictly Come Dancing!
:01:58. > :02:06.Please welcome your hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman.
:02:07. > :02:31.Hello and Welcome to Strictly Come Dancing!
:02:32. > :02:35.We saw some incredible routines, including Hollywood,
:02:36. > :02:38.Bollywood, Robin Hood, and Ed Balls doing that Samba.
:02:39. > :02:42.But sadly Tameka and Gorka were eliminated from the competition
:02:43. > :02:47.after losing out to Laura and Giovanni in the Dance Off.
:02:48. > :02:50.And Tameka wasn't the only celebrity we've had to say goodbye to.
:02:51. > :02:53.As many of you may know Will Young has withdrawn from the competition
:02:54. > :03:01.Will, if you are watching we wish you all the best.
:03:02. > :03:04.Tonight our remaining twelve couples will be pulling out all the stops
:03:05. > :03:08.to entertain - and impress four very important people.
:03:09. > :03:41.Our celebrities have spent the last seven days preparing
:03:42. > :03:46.Now they're ready to come out and deliver
:03:47. > :03:53.So please welcome our Strictly stars.
:03:54. > :03:56.TV presenter and singer Louise Redknapp and her
:03:57. > :04:00.Star of Judge Rinder, Robert Rinder, and his
:04:01. > :04:08.Actress Lesley Joseph and her partner Anton Du Beke.
:04:09. > :04:12.Olympic gymnast Claudia Fragapane and her partner AJ Pritchard.
:04:13. > :04:17.BBC sports presenter Ore Oduba and his partner Joanne Clifton.
:04:18. > :04:22.Model Daisy Lowe and her partner Aljaz Skorjanec.
:04:23. > :04:27.From BBC Breakfast, Naga Munchetty and her partner Pasha Kovalev.
:04:28. > :04:29.World Champion long jumper Greg Rutherford and his
:04:30. > :04:37.Former Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls and his partner Katya Jones.
:04:38. > :04:41.TV host Laura Whitmore and her partner Giovanni Pernice.
:04:42. > :04:46.Actor Danny Mac and his partner Oti Mabuse.
:04:47. > :05:09.Singer Anastacia and her partner Brendan Cole.
:05:10. > :05:13.There they are, our tremendous twelve.
:05:14. > :05:16.The group may be getting smaller but we're all expecting big things
:05:17. > :05:22.You will be able to vote for your favourite later on.
:05:23. > :05:25.Your votes will be added to the judge's scores to decide
:05:26. > :05:28.which two couples will face the Dance Off in tomorrow night's
:05:29. > :05:32.It will then be down to the judges alone to decide who stays
:05:33. > :05:42.And dancing first to win your votes is Greg Rutherford and his partner
:05:43. > :05:52.While learning his new routine, he injured his wrist in training.
:05:53. > :05:55.But he's not going to let that stop him performing his Salsa
:05:56. > :06:20.Never did I expect I would love dancing as much as I did last week.
:06:21. > :06:25.Prince of thieves, you are Prince Charming. It was a bull's-eye, well
:06:26. > :06:33.done. When I really enjoy something I can let go and have fun with it.
:06:34. > :06:42.This week we have the salsa and we are doing it to Lismore is' Wrapped
:06:43. > :06:46.Up. We are doing the most ridiculous moves. They need to be executed
:06:47. > :06:51.personally or they will go horribly wrong.
:06:52. > :06:56.After suffering an injury Greg heads to the doctor's for advice. I am
:06:57. > :07:02.nervous and the dance is approaching at speed and I need to be ready. We
:07:03. > :07:07.are hoping by Saturday it will have gone down and he should be able to
:07:08. > :07:13.do what he wants to do. We have done so much training and we have to move
:07:14. > :07:16.on and up our game. It has been a difficult start, but a surprise
:07:17. > :07:25.visit to the training room will help their spirits. That was the loudest
:07:26. > :07:31.scream I have ever heard. I absolutely love him, unbelievable. I
:07:32. > :07:39.have heard that they are doing my son. Can I see the routine? We had
:07:40. > :07:45.to adapt it, Ollie has seen it and he likes it. I love that. Bosch.
:07:46. > :07:53.Dancing the Salsa, Greg Rutherford and his partner Natalie Lowe.
:07:54. > :09:54.A sensational salsa. You were very brave, Natalie. How is
:09:55. > :09:56.your wrist? He is holding his wrist. That was an epic left at the end.
:09:57. > :10:00.While you two cool down let's welcome our fabulous
:10:01. > :10:01.live singers Hayley, Lance, Andrea, Tommy
:10:02. > :10:03.and of course Dave Arch and his brilliant orchestra.
:10:04. > :10:18.Let's go to the judges. Did that happen all the fun of the fair? It
:10:19. > :10:24.was a bit like candy floss, it was tasty mostly, but a bit sticky in
:10:25. > :10:31.the footwork. Your toes town in a little bit, a bit flat-footed, but
:10:32. > :10:35.your bottom was going to town. Plenty of rhythm going. It is not
:10:36. > :10:41.your best, but it is certainly not your worst. That you, Len. The
:10:42. > :10:48.ladies in the audience were shouting, nice bottom. Keep going,
:10:49. > :10:57.Tiger. Hurricane Greg hits the south that and shakes it for all it is
:10:58. > :11:02.worth. Oh, you are an animal. Must do squats tomorrow. I will take you
:11:03. > :11:10.for a session. I could not take my eyes off it. You had hip action. You
:11:11. > :11:16.have so much energy that at times it is uncontrolled and you lose your
:11:17. > :11:22.timing. Your footwork when slightly off because you were so keen to get
:11:23. > :11:28.at it. You spent so much time in the air, you need a flying licence. But
:11:29. > :11:31.I appreciate the effort you put in your performance. Just clean it up a
:11:32. > :11:38.little bit. APPLAUSE
:11:39. > :11:43.. It needed a lot more rotation in the hip department. It was very
:11:44. > :11:49.square. However upstairs, your shimmies were absolutely great. You
:11:50. > :11:55.are treading too heavily in the dance for my liking, which lost a
:11:56. > :12:05.bit of fluidity. You lost a bit of dignity, darling, when you did that
:12:06. > :12:13.bottom grind here. It was totally unnecessary. But I love your
:12:14. > :12:25.enthusiasm and your energy and that lift at the end was brilliant. The
:12:26. > :12:31.energy just flows out of you. Sometimes even Natalie comes off her
:12:32. > :12:36.feet as you grab her. She flew out. But that is exactly what it needs,
:12:37. > :12:45.and plenty of energy. You can calm it down a bit, but the lifts were
:12:46. > :12:54.perfect for best dance. And the exit as well, you are totally in control
:12:55. > :12:58.of those. You have lifted all of us. Good night for you, Greg. Off to
:12:59. > :13:17.Claudia's fun house. Very well done. Opening the show is
:13:18. > :13:21.terrifying. But what I love is you said, I feel like a doughnut when I
:13:22. > :13:27.do dancing and you do that and you are amazing. Thank you, it is so far
:13:28. > :13:32.out of my comfort zone, every time I do something I think I look stupid.
:13:33. > :13:37.But this one has been teaching me every day and she is doing well.
:13:38. > :13:43.Also Rob has given me a lot of stick. It is really lovely and we
:13:44. > :13:50.got it right today and I am so happy. And you had Lismore is come
:13:51. > :13:57.and visit you. She was more excited about him. Ladies and gentlemen, the
:13:58. > :14:17.judges have their scores. You are all right with that. We will
:14:18. > :14:20.If you don't want Greg and Natalie to leave
:14:21. > :14:23.the competition, all the details are on your screen now.
:14:24. > :14:25.Now it's everyone's favourite part of the show.
:14:26. > :14:41.Please welcome the Barber Shop Quartet.
:14:42. > :14:47.Easy does it. We will do this together. You begin.
:14:48. > :14:55.access charge, and please ask the bill payer's permission.
:14:56. > :15:11.I hope you are very every Saturday before Christmas.
:15:12. > :15:14.where you will also find terms and conditions.
:15:15. > :15:16.Voting won't open until all our couples have danced.
:15:17. > :15:18.So please don't call yet as your vote won't
:15:19. > :15:20.count and you may still be charged!
:15:21. > :15:29.Our next couple is Laura Whitmore and her partner, Giovanni Perniche.
:15:30. > :15:38.After last week's salsa landed her in the dance-off,
:15:39. > :15:41.Laura is determined to do better with her quickstep tonight.
:15:42. > :15:43.So this week in training she enlisted the help
:15:44. > :15:54.Apparently - with a couple of treats and a tummy rub!
:15:55. > :15:59.I enjoyed the performance on Saturday. I just wanted to go out
:16:00. > :16:03.there with as much energy as possible and show something a little
:16:04. > :16:10.bit different than the week before. That show girl has got va-va-voom.
:16:11. > :16:14.This is one of the hottest, everything I like salsas that I've
:16:15. > :16:19.ever seen. How did you feel in the dance-off? It's not a nice feeling.
:16:20. > :16:27.I tried to let it give me a boost to keep my place. Laura and Giovanni. I
:16:28. > :16:32.want to fight for this. This week we're learning the quickstep, like
:16:33. > :16:36.fast. How quick? We need a lot of stamina. We need endurance. I think
:16:37. > :16:45.I know someone who can help. Who? He's got great moves. Who's that?
:16:46. > :16:50.Mick Jagger. The Rolling Stones are the best band ever apparently Mick
:16:51. > :17:00.Jagger is coming here to help us with the quickstep. Wow! Joe, Mick's
:17:01. > :17:06.here. Here he is. Me and dog, not really best friend. I brought my dog
:17:07. > :17:11.to rehearsals. He has a lot of stamina, great moves. I couldn't
:17:12. > :17:14.believe how excited Giovanni was. Apparently he thought he was going
:17:15. > :17:19.to be someone else. It's not the same from the Rolling Stones. This
:17:20. > :17:27.one is a dog. Mick, what do you think? Yes! I was
:17:28. > :17:30.thrilled when Mick gave us ten points, because if anyone knows
:17:31. > :17:33.anything about the quickstep, it's my dog Mick Jagger.
:17:34. > :17:35.Dancing the quickstep, Laura Whitmore and her partner,
:17:36. > :19:29.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Oh, wow. That was fast. You've come
:19:30. > :19:33.back fighting. That was really fun. It hasn't dented your confidence.
:19:34. > :19:36.Good girl. Bruno, you loved Laura's routine last week. You scored her a
:19:37. > :19:42.nine. What do you think tonight? Are you kidding me? There are no speed
:19:43. > :19:47.limits on Strictly. You did that down the M 1, you lose your license.
:19:48. > :19:54.I think I felt a sonic boom. That was so fast, so complicated, so
:19:55. > :19:58.difficult, yet performed with such ease. It was fantastic.
:19:59. > :20:04.APPLAUSE There is one section there, where
:20:05. > :20:08.you went from a charleston into a pendulum, brilliant. The
:20:09. > :20:14.acceleration across, it just was fantastic, darling, you deserve to
:20:15. > :20:18.be here. I'm telling you. Thank you. Craig? I thought you both covered
:20:19. > :20:22.the floor very, very well. The charleston section I have to say was
:20:23. > :20:27.absolutely stand-outish, wonderful moment. I did, at times, think you
:20:28. > :20:33.were fighting each other a little bit in hold. That's only because of
:20:34. > :20:37.the speed of it. Then I was thinking about that head banging moment. I
:20:38. > :20:43.didn't know whether that was a love or hate section. I decided at the
:20:44. > :20:48.end to love it. Well done. What a relief. So glad you said that.
:20:49. > :20:53.Darcey, they were in the dance-off last week, better tonight? Oh, yes.
:20:54. > :21:00.Laura, fabulously fast. My God, it was busy down below, wasn't it! Was
:21:01. > :21:03.it? On the stage, that was definitely my favourite bit. When
:21:04. > :21:09.you're on the spot moving like, that stunning. When you travelled, I do
:21:10. > :21:11.believe, for me, in the top line, just your right shoulder seems to
:21:12. > :21:15.roll in. That's where you take the effort. My gosh, you were
:21:16. > :21:24.travelling. That was fast. Very impressive. Well done, thank you
:21:25. > :21:30.Bruno. Len? Your head got a little bit overexaggerated at times. It was
:21:31. > :21:35.a little bit strained. However, having said that, plenty of lights,
:21:36. > :21:39.plenty of cameras, plenty of action. Honestly, flat out, no larking
:21:40. > :21:45.about. If you're in the bottom two this week, I'm going to pickle my
:21:46. > :21:49.walnuts - I promise you! APPLAUSE
:21:50. > :21:52.Looks like you're a ballroom girl to me. Thank you judges, positive
:21:53. > :21:55.comments all round. Off you go to Claudia.
:21:56. > :22:08.APPLAUSE Well done, baby. You know what we
:22:09. > :22:11.all completely love about you, sometimes being in the dance-off,
:22:12. > :22:14.bit of a shock. You spend like a couple of days bringing yourself
:22:15. > :22:19.back. You didn't. You were like, right, fine. Kind of want to prove
:22:20. > :22:23.yourself to be here and everyone's so good any way. This man is
:22:24. > :22:29.brilliant. He worked me hard during the week. Thank you. That was so
:22:30. > :22:33.fast. Lovely to hear when Bruno is like, "You are fantastic." I saw
:22:34. > :22:57.your face. Oh, OK. Thanks very much. The scores are in.
:22:58. > :23:03.Well done. Are you over the moon? That's your highest score. Yeah.
:23:04. > :23:05.Very well done. Thanks very much. Quite emotional. Lovely.
:23:06. > :23:08.If you think they blitzed that ballroom routine, vote for them,
:23:09. > :23:11.all the details are on your screen now and voting opens
:23:12. > :23:18.Still to come, Claudia and AJ are dancing students.
:23:19. > :23:23.Still to come, Ed Balls dances with a dragon.
:23:24. > :23:26.Dancing next is Anastacia and her partner, Brendan Cole.
:23:27. > :23:32.She's dancing the first rumba of the series.
:23:33. > :23:36.Head Judge Len, what should we be looking out for in this dance?
:23:37. > :23:42.You know, I know certain members of this gang here like it a bit
:23:43. > :23:47.raunchy, I think it's like a developing love story. It's a
:23:48. > :23:51.courtship. I don't like it if it's too raunchy. You want to see nice
:23:52. > :23:54.hip action. You want to see chemistry. You want to see lovely
:23:55. > :23:59.foot work. I'm looking forward to it. I think Anastacia will do a good
:24:00. > :24:01.job, that's my feeling. So am I. Good. Thank you very much.
:24:02. > :24:08.Let's see how they got on in training.
:24:09. > :24:23.Good weekend. Thank you. You too, big daddy. It was a massive way to
:24:24. > :24:28.come back. A good dance, a very, very clean, classy, confident dance.
:24:29. > :24:31.You've come back with an enormous sense of confidence. I think that is
:24:32. > :24:38.brilliant. Positivity coming our way. I love that feeling. I think we
:24:39. > :24:43.can use that. It was great. This week we have the rumba. It is a very
:24:44. > :24:48.soft, emotional, passionate dance. Lovely to feel that confidence when
:24:49. > :24:52.you're in your comfort zone with the microphone in your hand and apply
:24:53. > :24:55.that to the dance. To tap into the passion and confidence, Anastacia is
:24:56. > :24:59.putting on a one-woman performance for Brendan. I'm going to sing you a
:25:00. > :25:04.song because I can do that in my sleep. You don't have to pay. This
:25:05. > :25:10.is a free concert. I am very at home singing. I feel very at one with who
:25:11. > :25:14.I am, with what I'm sharing. # And you know I'm doing the rumba
:25:15. > :25:18.this week # And I just don't know the
:25:19. > :25:22.technique# So good to see Anastacia doing what
:25:23. > :25:26.she's really passionate about. She's so in the moment. We have to get
:25:27. > :25:33.that and her into what we do. # I don't want to go, yeah baby. #
:25:34. > :25:38.Thank you for my applause. You're welcome. The rumba is about passion.
:25:39. > :25:43.You're amazing! I'm extremely passionate when I sing. So if I
:25:44. > :25:46.could bring that to the dance floor, thumbs up.
:25:47. > :25:49.Dancing the rumba, Anastacia and Brendan Cole.
:25:50. > :27:29.MUSIC: The Way We Were by Barbara Streisand.
:27:30. > :27:42.Yes, you lovely lady. You look gorgeous. Thank you. Delightful. You
:27:43. > :27:47.showed your vulnerable side there. Lovely. You wanted to bring the
:27:48. > :27:52.passion, didn't you? I was just trying to bring something. Are you
:27:53. > :27:57.feeling the love, Craig? Yes. Half-and-half really. The four, one
:27:58. > :28:02.section of it, where you go through the movement, I thought you lost a
:28:03. > :28:10.bit of fluidity. It became somewhat stilled, not over the top stealthed,
:28:11. > :28:17.just -- stilted. You kicked Brendan's toe on the sweep through.
:28:18. > :28:23.The Ronde was very strong. I loved that section. Hand shaping is
:28:24. > :28:29.exquisite, darling. Lovely story telling. That's a lot coming from
:28:30. > :28:32.him. He's a hands man. Darcey. You have such stressive arms. They're
:28:33. > :28:40.beautiful. It's like you're playing the music with your arms and your
:28:41. > :28:48.hands. They really read really well. You have lovely shapes as well. I
:28:49. > :28:54.would love the body to undulate. Oh, hello. I'll let you know later. Just
:28:55. > :29:00.so we get one move flowing into the next. Just the moments of staticness
:29:01. > :29:05.where I would love to see the continuity. We can do that.
:29:06. > :29:12.Len, did you get what you were looking for? To a degree. I didn't
:29:13. > :29:16.mind it at all. There was a lot of lines and there was a lot of
:29:17. > :29:20.wiggles. I didn't - don't get aggressive, I know what you're like.
:29:21. > :29:26.I would have liked a tad more rumba content in there. No, yes. But we
:29:27. > :29:33.didn't get that quite. But what I did like was the lovely, fluid arms.
:29:34. > :29:36.I liked the light and shade, the speed of them pivots, stopped, move
:29:37. > :29:42.on, lovely. You could straighten your legs on the swivels. I never
:29:43. > :29:48.talk about you Brendan, because you're perfect. Of course he is! It
:29:49. > :29:53.wasn't great, but I tell you what it was very, very good. Well done.
:29:54. > :30:01.Thank you Len. Bruno, finish us off. Very lady like. Very glamorous. Very
:30:02. > :30:10.subtle. It was like watching a series of movie stars images, Rita
:30:11. > :30:13.Hayworth Eva Gardener. I like that. You got into these looks very, very
:30:14. > :30:19.well. I tend to agree with my colleagues, you hit one thing, but
:30:20. > :30:24.it has to flow, as Len said earlier, into another continuously. There is
:30:25. > :30:30.never a sense of stopping in rumba. It is relentless, it's like wave
:30:31. > :30:33.upon wave beating you, driven by passion and sex appeal. Actually I
:30:34. > :30:39.could have done with a bit more of that. You know like the first week,
:30:40. > :30:46.when you went... Ha-ha. For me, that is to my taste. I have to say, it
:30:47. > :30:49.was tasteful. And very romantic. Lots of love in
:30:50. > :30:53.this room for you tonight. Thank you very much. Off you go to Claudia.
:30:54. > :31:06.Anastacia and Brendan. APPLAUSE
:31:07. > :31:18.Well done. The rumba is the hardest dance. Everybody can see everything
:31:19. > :31:22.because it is so slow. It is quite intimidating and I am dancing to
:31:23. > :31:28.Barbra Streisand and you cannot make out that way. You have to keep a
:31:29. > :31:46.simple and classy. Done job. And you did. The scores are in.
:31:47. > :31:53.The same as last week, happy with that? Yes.
:31:54. > :31:57.If you enjoyed that routine to a song about memories,
:31:58. > :32:02.All the details are on your screen now and voting opens
:32:03. > :32:12.Still to come, Naga climbs out of a giant clown. I hope she does not
:32:13. > :32:18.pull a muscle! Next to the floor is

:32:22. > :32:25.Charleston saw them joint They even got a nine from Craig,
:32:26. > :32:31.either that or he was so blown away, he accidentally held his
:32:32. > :32:45.six upside down. That was absolutely brilliant. I was
:32:46. > :32:55.really happy, I enjoyed it so much and I am in my element. Getting nine
:32:56. > :33:00.from Craig was incredible. I was so ecstatic, all 49 as much. I am so
:33:01. > :33:07.grateful to be through and I am loving all my time here. This week
:33:08. > :33:16.we have got the foxtrot. Will it be slow? Yes. It will be a challenge.
:33:17. > :33:20.The concept is in the school corridor with lockers, it will be
:33:21. > :33:25.incredible. AJ has lined up a surprise visit for cloudier's
:33:26. > :33:31.teachers. I hope she has done her homework. I left school at couple of
:33:32. > :33:37.years ago and I was stunned that they came. They liked your work, so
:33:38. > :33:43.I thought I would see what they thought of your dancing. Having
:33:44. > :33:47.taught her PE at school it is great to see her carrying through with her
:33:48. > :33:53.gymnastics and now with her Strictly Come Dancing career. Her foxtrot was
:33:54. > :34:01.amazing and I was stunned by how graceful she was on the dance floor.
:34:02. > :34:10.Time for the Judge's scores. Please be nice. Wonderful. Fabulous
:34:11. > :34:13.darling. They scored us all tens. I am so proud of you, you get a gold

:36:14. > :36:17.Darcey, did you? It is the story you create, that young love all the way
:36:18. > :36:22.through. You have really stretched her. I was .txt that they knew to
:36:23. > :36:28.travel and collide and what is stunning is that top line. You have
:36:29. > :36:32.the strongest form. To be able to sustain that every time you get into
:36:33. > :36:40.hold is a strong point that you have and that is impressive. You really
:36:41. > :36:49.put your mind to it and I can see you have been working really hard as
:36:50. > :36:54.well. Len, joint top of the Leader Board lastly, how did she do this
:36:55. > :36:58.week? I thought she did very well. What you have to understand is you
:36:59. > :37:05.are young and modern. I am old and traditional. I am not that old.
:37:06. > :37:13.There is a bit of a conflict. It is a foxtrot. It had a flavour of
:37:14. > :37:17.American Smooth going into that dance. However, I must say you
:37:18. > :37:23.pleased me greatly over here because you did a lovely he'll turn in your
:37:24. > :37:28.hover across. I thought your footwork was terrific. Overall, for
:37:29. > :37:38.your class I am going to say first rate, well done. Goldstar, A+ from
:37:39. > :37:45.her teacher. Look at them, the ideal teenage dream team. They are so
:37:46. > :37:50.enthusiastic and keen to please. I could see how much you tried to get
:37:51. > :37:57.the technique of the foxtrot and hold. All the steps perfectly
:37:58. > :38:02.placed. But something happened, you were out of an underarm turn and you
:38:03. > :38:10.went on the wrong foot or something. No. No, it is me, I need to go to
:38:11. > :38:15.Spec Savers! But when you try so hard, make sure that you do not show
:38:16. > :38:22.it. You should never look angular. You should always look flowing. You
:38:23. > :38:32.are so good, but you can always get better. Greg. There was a bit of
:38:33. > :38:40.gapping and it lacked for me grace and elegance. Over here it looked
:38:41. > :38:44.like an acrobatic move rather than something beautiful. I did not think
:38:45. > :38:51.the burst out of hold represented the foxtrot or misrepresented the
:38:52. > :38:57.foxtrot entirely. It was not for me. It was all going so well until we
:38:58. > :39:10.got to you, Greg. Cloudier is upstairs. That was amazing. We
:39:11. > :39:17.absolutely love it up here and you have been working so hard. You said
:39:18. > :39:23.she worked hard under enormous pressure. Is he a difficult task
:39:24. > :39:30.master? Yes, definitely. He will turn small steps into big steps. I
:39:31. > :39:33.think Len said hovercraft. I am going to check that.

:40:20. > :40:26.is a great story and I am looking forward to it. Today is the first
:40:27. > :40:34.day I have ever twirled a cape round in a dance studio. This foxtrot
:40:35. > :40:43.looks smooth and elegant, but there is so much going into it. I am
:40:44. > :40:46.having so much fun, it is happy and cheery and it is good for me and I
:40:47. > :40:49.am the most excited about this one than I have been for any of the
:40:50. > :40:57.He's going to be a conductor of a band, and the whole thing

:41:28. > :41:30.on the role of a knight rescuing a damsel in distress.
:41:31. > :41:32.Can our Sir Lancelot turn into Sir dance a lot?
:41:33. > :41:53.Last Saturday went really well and you were amazing. That is me, I had
:41:54. > :42:00.to go for it. You are not the best dancer, but you are definitely the
:42:01. > :42:04.most fun. When we were finished the crowd went wild. You feel the energy
:42:05. > :42:10.in the room and that is what keeps you going. The hard work paid off.
:42:11. > :42:16.The scores are much higher than I thought I would ever achieve, so I
:42:17. > :42:25.am proud of getting 23 and 24. In the paso doble to the Bonnie Tyler
:42:26. > :42:32.song, there is a maiden and she needs and night to rescue her. Help,
:42:33. > :42:37.where is my hero? I am a novice knight, but she has got a plan. Get
:42:38. > :42:44.ready to be suited and booted, you are off for some training. You are
:42:45. > :42:53.going to learn the skills that you need to be able to save me. I can
:42:54. > :43:01.hardly move. Stop complaining, you have to do some combat training to
:43:02. > :43:05.save me from the Dragon. When I watched him a fight with the sword
:43:06. > :43:13.in his hand he looked so handsome and brave. I think this Dragon is in
:43:14. > :43:22.big trouble. I have done my training and now I can save my princess. I
:43:23. > :43:25.can now finally slay that paso doble on Saturday.

:45:10. > :45:39.Sir Dance-a-lot. Ole! What a marvellous night. -- what a
:45:40. > :45:43.marvellous knight you make. I know a few little things went wrong. A few
:45:44. > :45:48.things went wrong. Was that a knight to remember? ? I don't know about
:45:49. > :45:56.holding out for a hero. I was holding out for a paso. BOO Don't be
:45:57. > :46:00.so cruel. Give over. Oi, give over. Do you know Ed, over the years
:46:01. > :46:06.there's been quite a few balls on Strictly. We had Zoe Ball, Johnny
:46:07. > :46:09.Ball, Bobby Ball did the Christmas special. We even had Michael Ball
:46:10. > :46:14.last week singing and not one of them has picked up the Glitterball.
:46:15. > :46:19.I'm not sure that you are, but I tell you this, you won't lose it for
:46:20. > :46:21.lack of trying. CHEERING
:46:22. > :46:29.Because you come out and give it your all. Well done.
:46:30. > :46:34.Got to be commended for that. Bruno. Mr Ed Balls present the dragon
:46:35. > :46:42.slayer. A true epic, tinged in tragedy, mostly because of the
:46:43. > :46:46.shaping. I mean, keep going. It was like you were directing traffic.
:46:47. > :46:50.That's not paso doble, that's a deemented traffic war don. Then you
:46:51. > :46:54.had a tantrum with the cape. You didn't know where the hell it was
:46:55. > :47:01.going to end up. It looked like a spin drier. For a strange reason,
:47:02. > :47:05.somehow I liked it. But I have to... APPLAUSE
:47:06. > :47:10.We all liked it. Entertaining. You're not going to
:47:11. > :47:17.get a high score, though. Craig, you scored Ed a measly four last week.
:47:18. > :47:22.How about tonight? Oh, dear. I don't think it's going anywhere
:47:23. > :47:31.near a four tonight. You were mincing around that stage, darling,
:47:32. > :47:34.like you were in an episode of Some Mothers Do' Ave' EmU made Frank
:47:35. > :47:40.Spencer look butch. The shaping was terrible. It was stompy. There
:47:41. > :47:48.wasn't a hint of any Mata corps in there -- madador in there,
:47:49. > :47:57.gesticulating wildly, passion-less. Dreadful, really dreadful. Darcey?
:47:58. > :48:00.There was plenty of performance in there, just some of the wrong
:48:01. > :48:04.performance, but that's fine. There was gusto. You were going for it.
:48:05. > :48:14.That's what we expect now, which is fabulous. Thank you for that. It is
:48:15. > :48:19.a shame that you made that balls up. But it was the armography that was
:48:20. > :48:24.the most upsetting. I'm sure you have created better armography than
:48:25. > :48:35.that. It was very hard and straight. No surf, no shape. Next time. I will
:48:36. > :48:41.work on that. Please. Definitely. You're a good knight, you've given
:48:42. > :48:42.us a great night. Sir Balls and lady Katya.
:48:43. > :49:00.APPLAUSE We went nuts for it up here. Did you
:49:01. > :49:03.hear them stamping. You go home and watch the comments and then you take
:49:04. > :49:06.it seriously. Of course, because you have to learn and do better every
:49:07. > :49:09.week. That's what I've been trying to do. Today was not the best. We
:49:10. > :49:16.were so much better in rehearsals. I'm still learning and doing my
:49:17. > :49:35.best. Thank you so much. The scores are in:
:49:36. > :49:44.Goodness me. Never mind that. That's not the lowest paso score. That's
:49:45. > :49:45.fair. You're saying it's fair. Everyone cuddle him.
:49:46. > :49:48.If Ed is the hero you've been holding out for,
:49:49. > :49:51.all the details are on your screen now, so you can vote
:49:52. > :49:54.for them when voting opens at the end of the show.
:49:55. > :50:04.Well done, Ed. Louise and Kevin are watching television, if it's in the
:50:05. > :50:06.night garden, please don't tell me what happens, I taped it.
:50:07. > :50:10.Dancing next is Naga Munchetty and her partner, Pasha Kovalev.
:50:11. > :50:14.Their Charleston is set under water to a song called
:50:15. > :50:18.Naga is the mermaid and Pasha is a deep-sea diver.
:50:19. > :50:20.Fingers crossed the judges will fall for them -
:50:21. > :50:34.Good job last weekend. Thanks. I know it was quite... Intense. A
:50:35. > :50:39.stressful Glynning. The -- beginning. The buckle didn't want to
:50:40. > :50:43.unbuckle. Well recovered. Enjoyed it though. You are better than you
:50:44. > :50:48.think you are. You've got to come out and show us. That really
:50:49. > :50:51.resonated. I need to believe that I can do the dances and not worry
:50:52. > :50:56.about comparing myself to other people. And just focus on us, go out
:50:57. > :51:04.and enjoy it. Good job. This week in her
:51:05. > :51:14.charleston Naga is looking forward to playing a mermaid. Pasha wants
:51:15. > :51:19.thatta out of the training -- Naga out of the training room. I'm here.
:51:20. > :51:24.You took it quite literal. We're thot getting in the water. Amazing.
:51:25. > :51:27.It's quite good. I wanted you to meet your new friends. Hi. Make
:51:28. > :51:33.yourself comfortable and get ready for the dance. So we can make a
:51:34. > :51:42.splash with this dance, can't we? What? Dancing in an under water
:51:43. > :51:46.tunnel gave us the chance to feel how it would be dancing on the water
:51:47. > :51:51.with the fish around us. I think I could stay here for hours. I know we
:51:52. > :51:58.are finished here. We have to go back to flipping - I mean dancing.
:51:59. > :52:00.This has really helped me. I'm channelling my inner mermaid for
:52:01. > :52:04.Saturday night. I think it's going to go swimmingly.
:52:05. > :52:07.Dancing the Charleston, Naga Munchetty and Pasha Kovalev.
:52:08. > :53:35.MUSIC: Minnie the Mermaid by Firehouse Five Plus Two.
:53:36. > :53:51.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Oh, that was wonderful. Well done.
:53:52. > :53:56.They're on their feet over there. That made a big splash with the
:53:57. > :53:59.audience. I love the wig. First time you've had to embrace comedy. Well
:54:00. > :54:05.done, my lovely. What do you think, Bruno? Fun under water, a bit
:54:06. > :54:09.slippery on dry land, but then again, from a mermaid you would
:54:10. > :54:13.expect that. I was finding my legs. I have to say, most of the time, you
:54:14. > :54:17.were on it. Not all the way through, because the charleston is all about
:54:18. > :54:22.keeping the very, very sharp scissor action. You lost timing in a little
:54:23. > :54:31.section in the middle, but great fun and great character.
:54:32. > :54:35.Thank you. Craig. Yes, the timing was off, sadly. It was very messy.
:54:36. > :54:40.It wasn't clean enough. There was no cross, there was no swivel. You put
:54:41. > :54:47.your body into it, unfortunately it wasn't translated to the feet. Did
:54:48. > :54:52.it make you smile? The smile was wonderful, darling. But it didn't
:54:53. > :54:58.stop the lift looking like she was being harpooned. It was messy.
:54:59. > :55:03.You're a mermaid. He's a bit crabby. Really you have worked so hard at
:55:04. > :55:07.the characterisation. It was fun, it was quirky. There was lots of energy
:55:08. > :55:10.through. It I think you got so excited that everything was working
:55:11. > :55:13.so well, it's just when you came out of the lift you went wrong with the
:55:14. > :55:17.timing. Understandably, because it has made such an improvement, well
:55:18. > :55:23.done. Well done. Naga did have confidence
:55:24. > :55:27.issues, you thought last week, Len, did you think better tonight? 100%.
:55:28. > :55:35.You certainly came out of your shell. Honestly. Plenty of motion in
:55:36. > :55:38.the ocean. I remember once you, Craig, saying, I didn't like the
:55:39. > :55:44.charleston because it was too neat and precise. Now you've changed your
:55:45. > :55:48.mind, this is too slapstick and fun. I don't get what you're on about.
:55:49. > :55:52.I'm telling you, you came out, you sold it. First time I've seen you
:55:53. > :55:56.really confident. First time I think I've seen you smile. You really came
:55:57. > :55:59.out and give it a good go. Well done.
:56:00. > :56:03.We all really enjoy seeing your fun side. Keep smiling. Off you go to
:56:04. > :56:04.Claudia. Naga and Pasha!
:56:05. > :56:17.APPLAUSE Very, very well done you two. It's
:56:18. > :56:22.like a new Naga. It was like the char son you went, oh, my God this
:56:23. > :56:23.whole thing... It's so much fun. Loved it all week. Been the best
:56:24. > :56:53.week. Well done. The scores are in: 24, Brendan Cole shouting "under
:56:54. > :56:55.marked" best eyebrows I've ever seen in many my life -- in my life.
:56:56. > :56:58.If you liked the sheer scale of that Mermaid routine and you don't
:56:59. > :57:00.want this half-woman, half-fish to go, all the details
:57:01. > :57:03.are on your screen now, and voting opens at the end
:57:04. > :57:08.Still to come, Danny is conducting an orchestra. Bizarre job swap
:57:09. > :57:10.moment. Dave Arch is doing a quickstep - we haven't told him.
:57:11. > :57:13.Dancing next and hoping to impress is Louise Redknapp
:57:14. > :57:24.APPLAUSE In their routine Louise uses a TV
:57:25. > :57:26.remote to control Kevin and make him dance with her.
:57:27. > :57:35.We could re-wind him back to the last time he said something nice...
:57:36. > :57:48.Last week, for me, was like one of those moments I'll never forget. The
:57:49. > :57:53.bit where I went to the judges, Bruno was actually doing the same
:57:54. > :57:58.move I was doing. I could feel my smile getting bigger and bigger. I
:57:59. > :58:03.think I knew most of the steps. You passed the audition. You were great.
:58:04. > :58:07.That in itself made my night. Really proud of you. You smashed it. Every
:58:08. > :58:17.day there's a bigger spring in my step. I love it a little bit more
:58:18. > :58:21.each day. It's Tuesday. I'm on my way to go and meet Kevin. I'm doing
:58:22. > :58:29.the foxtrot, which is all back in hold. Ballroom shoes at the ready.
:58:30. > :58:33.Fortunately for you, you've come into Strictly on a year where the
:58:34. > :58:38.standard is so incredibly high. I'm struggling with lots. But the heel
:58:39. > :58:43.spin, definitely. Means that we've got to keep the pressure on in
:58:44. > :58:47.training as much as possible. Come on, I can do this. Foxtrot is
:58:48. > :58:51.different to anything we've done so far. It's a new set of rules for
:58:52. > :58:58.Louise There's so much going into it. I'm pretty exhausted. Feet and
:58:59. > :59:02.calves will be killing tonight. I am practising at all hours. I spent all
:59:03. > :59:07.last week having straight legs. This week's all about getting down into
:59:08. > :59:12.my knees, making it smooth. Need to push through and technically nail
:59:13. > :59:16.the foxtrot. Now it's like you feel more comfortable being there. I'm
:59:17. > :59:18.practising here. I'm practising loads at home. I really hope it all
:59:19. > :59:22.pays off on Saturday night. Dancing the foxtrot,

:59:25. > :01:18.by Amy Winehouse. APPLAUSE
:01:19. > :01:23.Just gorgeous. Come here, sweetheart. You look
:01:24. > :01:28.beautiful. I know you have been working so hard, dancing day and
:01:29. > :01:35.night, dancing at home. Did she learn it technically? I really and
:01:36. > :01:40.truly enjoyed that performance. You have a fantastic sense of rhythm and
:01:41. > :01:51.musicality and it was clean and engaging, gorgeous. I loved how you
:01:52. > :01:57.set the scene from the beginning because the narrative went into the
:01:58. > :02:01.dance and you continued that and how you extended. Sometimes you look
:02:02. > :02:06.incredibly comfortable. I think it is because you are an natural
:02:07. > :02:11.dancer. I would love if Kevin could push you because the confidence is
:02:12. > :02:15.flowing. You just get a little bit relying on that natural quality that
:02:16. > :02:20.you have, which is stunning, that now I want you to drive her. I can
:02:21. > :02:30.see all the ability there, but I want a little bit more. Show it off.
:02:31. > :02:38.Len. Excellent footwork. Very well done. You must have worked very
:02:39. > :02:43.hard. You were even on occasions drawing back of your heel. The
:02:44. > :02:49.problem was you got a little bit too far on Kevin's right side. Instead
:02:50. > :02:55.of being right to right centre, you were absolutely on his right side,
:02:56. > :03:00.which made your right arm stretched out a little bit. Well, it is the
:03:01. > :03:08.truth. What is the matter with you? I am going to give you a good mark
:03:09. > :03:16.because the footwork you nailed it. A lady that hot will always win the
:03:17. > :03:21.argument. It was a delicious soap opera set to music, danced
:03:22. > :03:27.exquisitely. The storytelling was brilliant. You execute every move
:03:28. > :03:33.with such grace and ease and you play the part stunningly. What more
:03:34. > :03:35.can I say? It was great. We have high expectations for you. Off you
:03:36. > :03:51.go to Claudia. Well done. CHEERING
:03:52. > :03:54.Well done, you must have been over the moon.
:03:55. > :04:01.Len said excellent footwork and I know you tried so hard. I did. You
:04:02. > :04:09.are doing it on the school run. I was doing it in my slippers in the
:04:10. > :04:13.morning. You got on my feet. I was watching your mother and your mother
:04:14. > :04:18.in law's phase and they were holding hands. The scores are in.
:04:19. > :04:41.That is your first nine and your highest scorer.
:04:42. > :04:44.If you want them to be on TV next week and not
:04:45. > :04:49.All the details are on your screen now, so you can vote for them
:04:50. > :04:51.when voting opens at the end of the show.
:04:52. > :04:54.Still to come, Daisy dances to a George Michael song
:04:55. > :05:06.Apparently she's been careless with her Whispa.
:05:07. > :05:09.Our next couple is Danny Mac and his partner Oti Mabuse.
:05:10. > :05:11.Last week Danny wowed the judges with his Paso Doble.
:05:12. > :05:14.Len was particularly impressed when he did the Coup de Pique.
:05:15. > :05:18.But after the flying start he's had to the series,
:05:19. > :05:27.has Danny 'Coup de peaked' too soon.
:05:28. > :05:38.Last week was the hardest routine we had. Did you enjoy it? Yes, until
:05:39. > :05:46.the judges started speaking. The timing, the shaping, the lines were
:05:47. > :05:54.excellent. It was incredible. 49s, I am so happy. It made it all
:05:55. > :06:00.worthwhile. This week's style is the quick step which I know nothing
:06:01. > :06:05.about. It is a very fun dance and people are supposed to jump up and
:06:06. > :06:09.enjoy it. The character he is playing is a conductor of an
:06:10. > :06:21.orchestra. I have a surprise for you and it is right in here. Are you
:06:22. > :06:25.ready? I think so. Hello. I brought Danny here because we have a quick
:06:26. > :06:32.step and he has to be the conductor of an orchestra. You have come to
:06:33. > :06:36.the right place. What do I do? Conducting is interpreting the music
:06:37. > :06:46.and conveying it through gesture, or dancing in your case. It turns out I
:06:47. > :06:53.am a terrible conductor. I think this young lady was a bit off, but
:06:54. > :07:01.apart from that it was ace. Let me go. Needless to say, she was
:07:02. > :07:06.marvellous. Conducting may not be my forte, but hopefully I will have no
:07:07. > :07:09.trouble on Saturday night. My jokes always fall flat!
:07:10. > :07:17.Dancing the quickstep Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse.
:07:18. > :08:45.MUSIC: I Won't Dance by Fred Astaire.
:08:46. > :09:07.CHEERING You certainly did dance.
:09:08. > :09:14.So much complicated content in there. Well done. It just keeps on
:09:15. > :09:22.going. It was pure class. How was it? That was pure class. When you
:09:23. > :09:28.were up on the stage I could not wait for it to start. What you
:09:29. > :09:33.produce up there I wanted you to get on the dance floor and I thought,
:09:34. > :09:40.yes, and he could do it and you sailed. It was outstanding. You led
:09:41. > :09:44.her, you were in control of the dance and that is something that is
:09:45. > :09:50.very difficult for a male celebrity to be able to do. That is one of the
:09:51. > :09:58.best, classic, quickstep 's I have ever seen. Len? There were some
:09:59. > :10:04.lovely touches and you got a bit of subway going which you do not see
:10:05. > :10:10.happening. Up on there it got on my wick in the end. It was a tad too
:10:11. > :10:20.long. But once you came down here you looked good and you danced good
:10:21. > :10:30.and by Godley, you did good. He did as all good. The talented Danny in a
:10:31. > :10:35.dazzling display of dancing. It was exciting, right up there with Fred
:10:36. > :10:40.Astaire. I love that style and it has been revived with such energy
:10:41. > :10:46.and you performed it with such zest. It was like being back in these
:10:47. > :11:01.Hollywood movies. It was absolutely wonderful. We will stop at Fred
:11:02. > :11:11.Astaire. Danny Mac, you are on fire, darling! Craig is applauding. I
:11:12. > :11:24.think I might need a lie down. Off you go to Claudia.
:11:25. > :11:30.CHEERING Well done, I want to talk about the
:11:31. > :11:37.dance, but can I confirm your magnificent man dresses her dogs,
:11:38. > :11:45.Bailey and Barney, to match the outfits every week.
:11:46. > :11:51.This is tonight. Word as Rowell last week? This is amazing, can you send
:11:52. > :11:57.in everything you have. You wanted to do the quickstep. And I was a kid
:11:58. > :12:01.I have wanted to dress up like this and dance like that and I have
:12:02. > :12:07.always wanted to try, so that was an amazing feeling.
:12:08. > :12:32.Well done. The same as last week. Very well done, the highest score of
:12:33. > :12:34.the night. That is ridiculous. Your dancing is ridiculous.
:12:35. > :12:39.If you thought Danny and Oti hit the right notey,
:12:40. > :12:42.all the details are on your screen now, so you can vote
:12:43. > :12:44.for them when voting opens at the end of the show.
:12:45. > :12:48.If you want to vote online, you'll need to sign in or register
:12:49. > :13:00.I love learning to dance. I am having such a joy doing it. Every
:13:01. > :13:06.week I say, this is my favourite dance. Anyone who can waltz can do a
:13:07. > :13:12.marathon. This dance is so much more open than I thought it was going to
:13:13. > :13:21.be. Even now I am panting like a dog in the desert, I am enjoying it. I
:13:22. > :13:24.am loving the experience so much, everyone is so exceptional at
:13:25. > :13:29.dancing it is making me quite scared this week.
:13:30. > :13:33.Yes, I can't wait to see Daisy's routine.
:13:34. > :13:35.She's dancing to the George Michael song Careless something.
:13:36. > :13:38.(Whispers) She's dancing to the George Michael
:13:39. > :13:50.It's Daisy Lowe her dance partner, Aljaz Skorjanec.
:13:51. > :13:54.Last week, Daisy danced as the children's favourite Mary Poppins.
:13:55. > :13:58.Tonight she's getting all grown up with an intimate rumba.
:13:59. > :14:09.But will this passionate performance get our judges all loved up?
:14:10. > :14:19.Last Saturday, I was so excited that we got to do a movie of our
:14:20. > :14:23.quickstep. We look so good. My favourite part was clicking my
:14:24. > :14:30.fingers and then you appeared, I was really chuffed with that. It was the
:14:31. > :14:37.neatest footwork I have seen. That was special feedback because I am
:14:38. > :14:43.completely in love with her. Super colour of a tool is that a
:14:44. > :14:50.commission mark good job. Thanks. This week I am excited about doing
:14:51. > :14:55.the rumba. At the moment we are putting more attention into the
:14:56. > :15:03.technique. Keep your toes on the floor. I am going to have to be a
:15:04. > :15:07.bit strict this week. I would have thought it would be difficult to
:15:08. > :15:12.take Al-Jazeera you see when he is cracking the whip, but he is quite
:15:13. > :15:17.scary. When he is found, you know he means business. I really want to
:15:18. > :15:22.push her because I know we can go a step higher. I have been doing some
:15:23. > :15:31.homework. It is frustrating getting it wrong. Over and over again. Let's
:15:32. > :15:35.do this again. I feel she has so much potential and talent and I want
:15:36. > :15:41.to dig into that and make sure we deliver a beautiful dance this
:15:42. > :15:45.weekend. And again. I am happy I have put the hard work in this
:15:46. > :15:50.weekend, I am happy to get on that dance floor and do it justice.
:15:51. > :15:53.Dancing the rumba, Daisy Lowe and Aljaz Skorjanec.
:15:54. > :17:27.MUSIC: Careless Whisper by George Michael.
:17:28. > :17:44.Walk those lovely legs over here, lady.
:17:45. > :17:50.You didn't just walk it, you stalked it. It was gorgeous, nothing
:17:51. > :17:54.careless about that, darling. Rumbas are notoriously difficult. What did
:17:55. > :17:59.you think? You're totally correct. It's a bit like Len's lens. It's
:18:00. > :18:04.slowed so you see any plunders. You're not lazy, Daisy, because you
:18:05. > :18:08.have worked hard. I love, see, little things please me. I can't
:18:09. > :18:14.help myself. I love that forward half, then out to fan. Then you even
:18:15. > :18:19.got the eighth a turn as you closed. Yes, shut up. And into another. I
:18:20. > :18:24.love all that little. The things that get passed by. I liked them. I
:18:25. > :18:27.thought it was a terrifically difficult dance and you did a
:18:28. > :18:38.terrifically good job. Thank you so much. Careless whispers, more like
:18:39. > :18:41.breathless judge. I am tingling all overment I'm shivering. I'm panting
:18:42. > :18:48.to the point of turning. Oh, you do things to me. Your intint in the
:18:49. > :18:54.dance was just spectacular. -- intent. Seriously now, we talk about
:18:55. > :18:59.content a lot. You had in there every single rumba step that you
:19:00. > :19:02.would want to see in a rumba. You didn't skip out anything. Even the
:19:03. > :19:07.most difficult. You kept the flow going most of it. Just at one time
:19:08. > :19:11.you stopped a little bit the flow, maybe because you felt a little bit
:19:12. > :19:15.insecure, but I'm telling you what you put into this dance is what we
:19:16. > :19:20.should see in every rumba. Next time, be more fluid, all the way
:19:21. > :19:27.through. Not just in some moves. I loved it.
:19:28. > :19:33.Hard work is paying off. Craig. I thought your free arm lacked a
:19:34. > :19:38.little direction and definition. By that I mean a tone and resistance as
:19:39. > :19:41.the arm goes out. It seems to just land there and then waft around a
:19:42. > :19:46.bit without any sort of strength behind it. You have to be able to
:19:47. > :19:52.make it fluid and not stiff, obviously, but have tone and
:19:53. > :19:56.resistance. I do think it lacked a little bit of chemistry for me.
:19:57. > :20:00.What? I know my colleagues probably don't agrow with me. But I -- agree
:20:01. > :20:03.with me. I think there could have been more of an emotional
:20:04. > :20:13.connection. Goodness me. I was feeling it. I don't. Darcey
:20:14. > :20:18.disagrees. I do not agree with you. You use your whole body to stress
:20:19. > :20:22.that emotion without doubt. Long, languid moves. Very difficult to
:20:23. > :20:26.control and sustain. To get that balance every time you stretched
:20:27. > :20:34.out, very impressive. I mean, really. That is a very difficult
:20:35. > :20:39.dance. Do not listen to him. A lot of love for the judges. We've fallen
:20:40. > :20:42.in love with your rumba. Off you go to Claudia, well done, darling.
:20:43. > :20:52.Daisy and Aljaz! APPLAUSE
:20:53. > :20:58.Very, very well done. You know what's so adorable, I heard you say
:20:59. > :21:02.this week, Strictly is the best experience of your life It is.
:21:03. > :21:05.You're really enjoying yourself. Even when he gets strict like this
:21:06. > :21:11.week. I think it's important that he's strict with me. I want to be
:21:12. > :21:12.better. You did great. I can be stricter.
:21:13. > :21:35.Scores are in. Same score as last week. You're so
:21:36. > :21:38.cute. With the seven, you went, "That's OK. I'm pleased."
:21:39. > :21:40.If that Careless Whisper routine had you shouting
:21:41. > :21:45.All the details are on your screen now, so you can vote for them
:21:46. > :21:47.when voting opens at the end of the show.
:21:48. > :21:50.Still to come, Lesley and Anton dance to the song
:21:51. > :21:52.Does anyone know what dance they're doing?
:21:53. > :22:00.Dancing next is Judge Rinder and his partner Oksana Platero.
:22:01. > :22:05.They're doing a Viennese Waltz to the song 'Boom Bang a Bang'.
:22:06. > :22:10.It's the song that won Lulu the Eurovision Song Contest,
:22:11. > :22:12.and our Judge is hoping, it won't get 'nil-point',
:22:13. > :22:25.I'm going to give that a U certificate, you entertained, you
:22:26. > :22:29.made us all smile but you made a few mistakes along the way. It's a shame
:22:30. > :22:37.because the rehearsal was going so well. I want to do better next week.
:22:38. > :22:42.You're very cute as a caveman. I want to say that made my day, but it
:22:43. > :22:47.made my life really. Made me feel like I'm in competition. I think
:22:48. > :22:51.he's cute. Two women competing for me. A phrase I never thought I'd
:22:52. > :22:54.use, to be honest. This week it's the Viennese waltz to one of the
:22:55. > :23:02.most beautiful and memorable songs of all time. It's Lulu's Boom Bang a
:23:03. > :23:06.Bang. A personal favourite. What's really difficult about the Viennese
:23:07. > :23:11.waltz? You need to make sure you're not going to get too dizzy and fall.
:23:12. > :23:17.I'm very, very dizzy. Welcome to Viennese waltz. Making it round the
:23:18. > :23:20.room is a challenge. You've got to go round and round, and round and
:23:21. > :23:24.round - sorry, another question, I'm feeling a bit sick. The really hard
:23:25. > :23:28.thing is to be calm enough to enjoy it and let it flow. That's hard when
:23:29. > :23:32.you're as nervous as I am all the time. Think about it less. Relax.
:23:33. > :23:41.OK. When it flows, it's effortless and beautiful. When it doesn't, it
:23:42. > :23:44.looks like a horrible crash. I love the Viennese waltz. I want to get it
:23:45. > :23:47.right. One thing I want more than anything is for the hearts of the
:23:48. > :23:56.judges to go boom bang-a about bang. Dancing the Viennese Waltz,
:23:57. > :25:56.Judge Rinder and Oksana Platero I'm loving the lederhosen. Isn't it
:25:57. > :26:01.marvellous. It is. Like Boris Becker. I know! I look like a young
:26:02. > :26:06.Boris Becker. LAUGHTER
:26:07. > :26:11.He might beg to differ. Bruno, did that flow for you? I have to say, it
:26:12. > :26:17.was unusually restrained by your usual standard. Don't you think? You
:26:18. > :26:22.went straight in hold, lots of proper Viennese waltz content. You
:26:23. > :26:27.did it quite well overall. Be careful don't swing your arms like
:26:28. > :26:32.cow bells. I know, you know, a bit more fluid. A bit more graceful, I'm
:26:33. > :26:36.sorry, I've got a cold. I have to say, I was impressed because you
:26:37. > :26:40.don't have to do craziness all the time because you can actually dance
:26:41. > :26:48.when you want to. You can dance. Did your heart go
:26:49. > :26:55.boom bang-a--bang, Craig? No, it did not. But I can say this, your facial
:26:56. > :27:01.expressions are on the up, darling. Improving. Until the second part,
:27:02. > :27:05.where I think you lost that. You went into that goofy thing and the
:27:06. > :27:10.open mouth scenario came back. You know, there is a dancer, a delicious
:27:11. > :27:16.dancer actually hidden underneath all of that. I just can't wait to
:27:17. > :27:21.see it, my love. He's teasing you. Darcey. It's true,
:27:22. > :27:25.when you're in hold, you're actually in control of the dance. I really
:27:26. > :27:32.feel there is going to be some lovely quality throughout. I
:27:33. > :27:37.wouldn't say this to other people, I don't you to overexaggerate. It's
:27:38. > :27:42.only when you come out of hold, don't get upset. It's only when you
:27:43. > :27:46.come out of hold I see the preparation. I see you overthinking.
:27:47. > :27:50.You don't need to. I mean, I think it grinded a bit with the narrative,
:27:51. > :27:53.the story you were telling, but I don't think you need that. There's a
:27:54. > :27:58.lot of quality in there, as the boys have said already. I think we want
:27:59. > :28:04.to see that now. Bringing the dancer out. Len. I
:28:05. > :28:09.liked it. I liked the rotation, natural turns, reverse turns. I
:28:10. > :28:18.enjoyed that. I once told - trust me, I once told someone who was a
:28:19. > :28:23.bit like you, a few committeedic elements -- comedic elements, you
:28:24. > :28:28.are a about thor dancer. -- you are a better dancer. He cut them out and
:28:29. > :28:32.he went home the next week! Do what you do. You have a great balance
:28:33. > :28:38.between good dancing, a bit of fun and I enjoy it.
:28:39. > :28:43.So great to watch. We all enjoy it. We love what you do. Keep doing it.
:28:44. > :28:45.Take your lady and your lederhosen upstairs to Claudia.
:28:46. > :29:02.APPLAUSE We absolutely loved it. Quite
:29:03. > :29:09.differing views there. Some of them saying be serious. Then Len going,
:29:10. > :29:13.you're hillarious, continue. You ask three lawyers the same question, you
:29:14. > :29:18.get three different answers. Same with the judges. Isn't she
:29:19. > :29:34.beautiful. My Heidi. I know. The scores are in.
:29:35. > :29:37.27, are you all right with that? Same score as the last two weeks.
:29:38. > :29:40.Well done. ( If you loved Judge Rinder
:29:41. > :29:42.and Oksana, vote for them. All the details are on your screen
:29:43. > :29:45.now, so you can vote for them when voting opens at the end

:29:58. > :29:59.and Angel Delight. Right, now it's Lesley Joseph
:30:00. > :30:01.and her partner, Anton Du Beke. This week they're
:30:02. > :30:05.doing a Charleston. It's a dance that involves a lot
:30:06. > :30:08.of cheeky moves, fun choreography I've got a feeling they could
:30:09. > :30:26.be quite good at it. I really loved that dance. I thought
:30:27. > :30:32.you were brilliant and I love what you did. You are a golden oldie from
:30:33. > :30:40.the silver screen and I thought you were great. To be left literally to
:30:41. > :30:43.the last to be told you are saved, I did not think it could be that nerve
:30:44. > :30:50.wracking, but I am pleased we are through. This week's training takes
:30:51. > :30:56.many miles away from Elstree in Malta due to her busy schedule. I am
:30:57. > :31:01.here on holiday... Training. Leslie is filming and it is very exciting.
:31:02. > :31:08.I don't know where she gets her energy from. How is it going? Very
:31:09. > :31:16.well. I know you are busy, but this week we are doing the charleston. I
:31:17. > :31:22.need you on set. I need to work. I went on set at five o'clock and I
:31:23. > :31:28.worked off at eight o'clock and I was training for three hours. It was
:31:29. > :31:34.exhausting. She is busy and she is a fitting it all in and doing a
:31:35. > :31:38.tremendous job. They are all going to come and watch us do the number.
:31:39. > :31:45.Do you know how nerve wracking that will be? If you can do it in front
:31:46. > :31:54.of them, you can do it in front of everyone. You were fantastic. We are
:31:55. > :32:00.really proud of her. She gives 100%. You are amazing, honestly. Good
:32:01. > :32:04.luck, we are rooting for you, we are right behind you. You will be
:32:05. > :32:05.brilliant, you always are. You will be brilliant,
:32:06. > :32:07.you always are. Dancing the Charleston,
:32:08. > :32:10.Lesley Joseph and Anton Du Beke. MUSIC: Won't You Charleston with me?
:32:11. > :33:37.By The Boyfriend. APPLAUSE
:33:38. > :33:52.Leslie and Anton, you have a very busy week,
:33:53. > :34:03.but it does not slow you down. You do not disappoint. There she
:34:04. > :34:09.keep surprising you, Craig? Yes, you do. That is shocking... Shockingly
:34:10. > :34:15.good. I do not know how you get through it. I could never keep that
:34:16. > :34:20.much stamina going for that length of time. It is absolutely
:34:21. > :34:25.incredible. You shocked me each time. It was strong and vibrant. You
:34:26. > :34:29.ran out of steam a little bit at the end with the swivel and the cross,
:34:30. > :34:36.but I loved it. I was exhausted watching you. You bring such a
:34:37. > :34:41.cheeky, fun, naughty, little girl to this. And the confidence, that
:34:42. > :34:46.showed with the amount of dance content. Those high kicks and,
:34:47. > :34:56.Anton, you are having a great time dancing with her. I could not keep
:34:57. > :34:58.up dancing with her. It is your birthday this week I understand...
:34:59. > :35:12.APPLAUSE That was definitely your best dance
:35:13. > :35:21.to date and if you keep that up, you will have many happy returns! Well
:35:22. > :35:25.done. You always deliver, you were the
:35:26. > :35:30.perfect gangster mole. You looked like a 20-year-old out there. Apart
:35:31. > :35:38.from the characterisation and the personality, you are great actor, so
:35:39. > :35:42.you do that perfectly. Your timing was right on it and you were placed
:35:43. > :35:47.correctly and you did not lose your time and your performance was very
:35:48. > :35:55.high all the way through. I think you did a fantastic job, my darling.
:35:56. > :35:58.Fantastic comets, what a lovely birthday present. This is the first
:35:59. > :36:22.time I can talk, it has taken me until now. Many happy returns.
:36:23. > :36:31.He is having the time of his life. What an extraordinary schedule. I am
:36:32. > :36:35.up at five every morning filming and he has been out in Malta by the
:36:36. > :36:41.swimming pool, and then we have been training. It is exhausting. It has
:36:42. > :36:47.been very hectic. Your daughter is here. The scores are in.
:36:48. > :37:28.Your highest score. She is a dream, dream! That you very much. If you
:37:29. > :37:33.want to see them back next week, please vote for them. All the
:37:34. > :37:34.details are on your screen. Just one more couple left to dance.
:37:35. > :37:39.And our final couple is Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton.
:37:40. > :37:43.Last week, Ore's American Smooth wowed us all and he landed
:37:44. > :37:52.This week, he's doing the jive, and we've got some tissues ready
:37:53. > :38:09.Last Saturday was one of the best night of my life. Amazing, just
:38:10. > :38:17.amazing. I am astounded how good that was. It was just such an
:38:18. > :38:24.emotional night. So for me it has just lit up. I could not believe
:38:25. > :38:34.Gene Kelly's widow coming. He would have been proud. I cannot believe
:38:35. > :38:39.it. It was unbelievable. This week we are dancing the jive and you need
:38:40. > :38:44.stamina and energy and loads of flips. This is not for the
:38:45. > :38:50.faint-hearted or slow footed. What are we going to do to up my game?
:38:51. > :38:56.There is one place I can take you where footwork, stamina, energy and
:38:57. > :39:00.performance is important. You can practice all your kicks and your
:39:01. > :39:07.stamina and your performance. Wow, Wembley. I have brought him to
:39:08. > :39:13.Wembley Stadium to practice his kicks and his flips. We are at
:39:14. > :39:19.Wembley. He came here today thinking he was going to have a kickabout
:39:20. > :39:24.with a ball. No way. She has had me jiving everywhere, up the stairs and
:39:25. > :39:31.in the dressing room and in the panel. I have not stopped jiving
:39:32. > :39:40.since I got here. Yes! Are you having a nap. No, I am tired from
:39:41. > :39:41.all the jiving. Unbelievable. Saturday night, I am coming to get
:39:42. > :39:43.Saturday night, I am coming to get you.
:39:44. > :39:49.Dancing the jive, Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton.
:39:50. > :41:59.Oh, my goodness me! Wow! I have not seen a reaction like this in a long
:42:00. > :42:06.time in this studio. U2 better not run away anywhere, you are
:42:07. > :42:10.brilliant. Antarctica. Dicey, your comments last week made him very
:42:11. > :42:19.emotional, will he bring his tissues again? No, I will need those
:42:20. > :42:25.tissues. How you understand each dance that is thrown at you, you
:42:26. > :42:33.just take it on board. You are one athlete. The stamina is
:42:34. > :42:43.unbelievable. To be able to get that retraction on each of those kicks.
:42:44. > :42:47.And what you did over there, and none of them failed with the energy
:42:48. > :42:55.and the attack that you gave them. Outstanding. You have set the so
:42:56. > :43:08.high that jive. It was so impressive. It was show stopping,
:43:09. > :43:16.jaw-dropping, eye-popping jive. Listen, I thought last week was
:43:17. > :43:20.fantastic. You have had a week. A week or four days or five days.
:43:21. > :43:40.Listen, move over, Jay. We might need tissues on stand-by.
:43:41. > :43:49.Bruno, you were standing up. Ladies and gentlemen, a star is born. You
:43:50. > :43:56.have a runaway jive as good as anybody you have ever seen. It is
:43:57. > :44:05.the trinity of a jive with Jill, Jay and barley. The momentum and the
:44:06. > :44:10.synchronicity. Again I have to congratulate you for putting very
:44:11. > :44:14.imaginative touches into it. The swinging 60s, but you never lost the
:44:15. > :44:26.jive. It drove through the dancer constantly. You never lost it. You
:44:27. > :44:31.were on it. Trying so hard. Craig. The game has finally changed,
:44:32. > :44:39.darling, you either to beat. You know what? I hope Danny Mac was
:44:40. > :44:47.watching that because he has got a big load of competition. It is on. I
:44:48. > :44:51.am so sorry I have got no tissues for you. You are trying so hard to
:44:52. > :45:09.keep it in. You are amazing. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:45:10. > :45:14.For you. For you. Not again! We really love you for it. It was all
:45:15. > :45:21.about for you, you wanted to beat Jay. They said, "Move over Jay."
:45:22. > :45:25.You're the one to beat. Well done. This is the dance I've loved the
:45:26. > :45:32.most. Jo absolutely packed it full just because I know she wanted me to
:45:33. > :45:35.remember it. You're so cute. Ah, stop crying! Very well done. The
:45:36. > :46:15.scores are in. CHEERING Yes! Well done.
:46:16. > :46:24.Are you all right? He's all right. No, I'm not. That is extraordinary.
:46:25. > :46:27.Week four. Really, well done to you. We need tissues! We've got tissues.
:46:28. > :46:29.Well done. If you enjoyed Ore and Joanne's jive
