0:07:51 > 0:07:54CHEERING
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Jonnie was thrilled with his quickstep last week,
0:07:57 > 0:08:00when he scored a nine from Shirley.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02This week, they're pirates, but never mind pieces of eight,
0:08:02 > 0:08:12they just want some more nines.
0:08:12 > 0:08:18How did you think it went?I think that's the best it's gone all week.
0:08:18 > 0:08:27You made that look easy.You didn't miss a beat.We got our first nine!
0:08:27 > 0:08:33So happy, we made it Halloween, and now we want to push and get a ten.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37We do.This week, we're going for pirates. I think its pilots. Being
0:08:37 > 0:08:42an amputee, it's nice. I think I've got the perfect idea. The pirates
0:08:42 > 0:08:53castle.Why are we going there? Because we aaaaargh. Play, my
0:08:53 > 0:09:00hearties.Why are we here, and why are you dressed like that?We are
0:09:00 > 0:09:05pirates and we've got to get into the theme somehow. Let's take to the
0:09:05 > 0:09:11water, but you're not getting in dressed like that.Jonny Williams
0:09:11 > 0:09:17wanted to take me out to sea, but it's really a canal. -- Jonnie
0:09:17 > 0:09:25really wanted.Do you feel like a pirate?Yes.I hope the judges don't
0:09:25 > 0:09:30make us walk the plank.Jonnie, come back, we have to dance on Saturday!
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Comeback!
0:09:32 > 0:09:33Dancing the creepy cha-cha-cha,
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Jonnie Peacock and Oti "Monstrous" Mabuse.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44MUSIC: Troublemaker
0:11:14 > 0:11:17CHEERING
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Enjoying your pirate character!
0:11:29 > 0:11:40So well we!I love it.Give us an aaaaargh.Aaaaargh.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42Before we hear from the judges, let's welcome our
0:11:42 > 0:11:44fiendishly good live singers, Hayley, Jamie, Andrea
0:11:44 > 0:11:46and Tommy - and, of course, Count Dave Arch and
0:11:46 > 0:11:50his fang-tastic orchestra.
0:11:50 > 0:12:00Lovely, guys. Did our Halloween pirates float your boat doesn't
0:12:00 > 0:12:04float your boat?, Well, Jonnie, it's always difficult to start the
0:12:04 > 0:12:07show, but you came out, you have a great theme. I love the idea of what
0:12:07 > 0:12:11you did. But there were some movement in there not to
0:12:11 > 0:12:17coordinated. I liked your natural top and you had a compact chassis,
0:12:17 > 0:12:22but there was no rotation. It lacked body action for me. It looked a bit
0:12:22 > 0:12:26like it was moving a bit difficult for you. Not your best dance, but I
0:12:26 > 0:12:28know you are a fighter and you'll come back next week.
0:12:28 > 0:12:36CHEERING Bruno, I hardly recognise you. Iron
0:12:36 > 0:12:41forget about Jack Sparrow. Who needs them? We've got Jonnie Peacock!I
0:12:41 > 0:12:48think what happened is you lodged your boat on the wrong type. If you
0:12:48 > 0:12:53are on the wrong type, the tide will get something. You looked like you
0:12:53 > 0:12:58were walking the plank at times, but it's all part of the character. Reed
0:12:58 > 0:13:03it's Halloween! Yes, and some dances suit us, some don't, and I am sure
0:13:03 > 0:13:08you will be back at your swashbuckling best. There you go.
0:13:08 > 0:13:17APPLAUSE There was no action, which is the
0:13:17 > 0:13:21biggest scenario, there was a bit in time step where your hips were going
0:13:21 > 0:13:25in the opposite direction. For me, it was Stompie and flat-footed
0:13:25 > 0:13:29throughout and I don't think it's a dance that will suit you. Your
0:13:29 > 0:13:38strength, I think, lies in ballroom. Any positives, Darcey?You've worked
0:13:38 > 0:13:41hard and I can see the concentration and the amount of dance. When you
0:13:41 > 0:13:49are finding the technique difficult to master, for me, it's all about
0:13:49 > 0:13:53the presentation. You have to think about this character, exaggerating
0:13:53 > 0:13:56this character. Have fun with it and enjoy it. Good effort, well done.
0:13:56 > 0:14:05APPLAUSE Thank you, judges. Thank you, both.
0:14:05 > 0:14:09Jonnie and Oti! CHEERING
0:14:19 > 0:14:24Very well done. Starting the show is horrible. You said earlier, can I
0:14:24 > 0:14:29just go second? It is not up to me. My favourite thing, when you were
0:14:29 > 0:14:33asked to do Strictly, you said you would do it, but if I get to a
0:14:33 > 0:14:38Halloween, I have got to be a pirate. You did it.The cha-cha is
0:14:38 > 0:14:46difficult. Especially for the male celebrities, the hips. He gave his
0:14:46 > 0:14:53best.The scores are in.
0:15:09 > 0:15:14CHEERING I do not want you to be
0:15:14 > 0:15:20disappointed.That is fit enough. They love you. I think the cha-cha
0:15:20 > 0:15:25is not my dance. You did not like it all week? We had some enjoyment but
0:15:25 > 0:15:31when you speed it up, it seems to go everywhere. When you have to as
0:15:31 > 0:15:40Aston, and he goes, yes, you have got the Janette. -- you have got the
0:15:40 > 0:15:49cha-cha. If Aston does not have a good line, there is trouble.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52If you want to see Jonnie and Oti stay in the competition,
0:15:52 > 0:15:55all the details are on your screen now, so you can vote
0:15:55 > 0:15:57for them when voting opens at the end of the show.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00As it's Halloween, I've decided to bring a mummy in to help
0:16:00 > 0:16:01with terms and conditions.
0:16:01 > 0:16:02It's AJ's mummy.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Thank you for doing this. She is 15 years younger than me.
0:16:05 > 0:16:11Calls to the short number from a mobile cost15p.
0:16:11 > 0:16:19Calls to the long number cost15p plus your network's access
0:16:19 > 0:16:21charge and please ask the bill payer's permission.
0:16:21 > 0:16:23You can vote online by visiting bbc.co.uk/strictly where
0:16:23 > 0:16:24you will also find terms and conditions.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Voting won't open until all our couples have
0:16:26 > 0:16:27danced.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31Don't call yet, as your vote won't count and you may still be charged.
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Tess.
0:16:32 > 0:16:33Good girl. She did very well.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35Dancing next in the haunted ballroom is Ruth Langsford
0:16:35 > 0:16:36and her partner, Anton du Beke.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39I'm with some of their supporters.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42Lovely to see you. She is doing very well. She's doing very well.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44Tonight they're doing the quickstep and
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Ruth will be Samantha from Bewitched, and with the support
0:16:46 > 0:16:49of these guys, she's hoping to cast a spell over the judges
0:16:49 > 0:16:51and move up from the bottom of the
0:16:51 > 0:16:52leaderboard.
0:16:52 > 0:16:59Fingers crossed.How was last week for your?Did you enjoy it? I loved
0:16:59 > 0:17:04it and I know I made mistakes, but it was the first time that the
0:17:04 > 0:17:08nerves left me. Once I had ripped off the costume and the audience
0:17:08 > 0:17:14went wild, I threw myself into the dance.Hold onto this fun side. It
0:17:14 > 0:17:19is fabulous, you came alive.Getting a standing ovation is special.It is
0:17:19 > 0:17:25a beautiful feeling. I cannot believe I am in Halloween week.I am
0:17:25 > 0:17:31thrilled. This week, Ruth is going to be a witch and dance to the theme
0:17:31 > 0:17:35tune of bewitched.I used to love that series. She had magical powers,
0:17:35 > 0:17:41she would wiggle her nose and strange things would happen.There
0:17:41 > 0:17:44is nobody more unlike a witch, but maybe there is a hidden inside to
0:17:44 > 0:17:50Ruth that I do not know.I have been practising my nose twitch all week
0:17:50 > 0:17:55and nothing.Watch. Obviously it is Halloween, but for some reason,
0:17:55 > 0:18:09today, there have been some things going on. -- some strange things.
0:18:09 > 0:18:16Anton. Hello. How did you get their? No, this will not do. Stop messing
0:18:16 > 0:18:19about. Turn me back, Ruth.
0:18:19 > 0:18:20Dancing the quivering quickstep, Ruth Langsford
0:18:20 > 0:18:30and Anton "Demonic" Du Beke.
0:18:33 > 0:18:36MUSIC: Bewitched
0:19:48 > 0:19:51CHEERING
0:19:59 > 0:20:09Ruth and Anton. Yes, the audience love that quickstep. You work your
0:20:09 > 0:20:11magic on us. That is for sure.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Did she cast a spell over you, Bruno?
0:20:15 > 0:20:21It was more like a curse. Look at me. What happened? I have to say, I
0:20:21 > 0:20:27was bewitched by the elegant look. Do you not think? I was slightly
0:20:27 > 0:20:32bothered by the frame. You keep doing it. You have to charge the
0:20:32 > 0:20:39bank. Nothing moves up here. Keep that lovely frame. I was bewildered
0:20:39 > 0:20:44by another thing. You went on the wrong foot, but you managed to
0:20:44 > 0:20:49recover. You noticed. You did not lose the step, and you completed the
0:20:49 > 0:20:56dance. Usually you fall to pieces. It is good to see. I have got it
0:20:56 > 0:21:01wrong, get back on it and finish it and do not show it.Well done.
0:21:01 > 0:21:07Keeping those nerves in check. Craig. It lacked any style, I am
0:21:07 > 0:21:14afraid. It -- you also had of a slate grip at the beginning, for the
0:21:14 > 0:21:20first 30 seconds, and Anton's arm. It was too heavy and sloppy for this
0:21:20 > 0:21:25particular dance. You went off on the wrong foot, but your chassis was
0:21:25 > 0:21:34out of time as well. For me, it was the antithesis of light and bright.
0:21:34 > 0:21:40I will use my noise to make it disappear. It is not working.
0:21:40 > 0:21:46Darcey. It was perfectly done in character. You became the character.
0:21:46 > 0:21:51You were light on your feet. You have gained such confidence, but
0:21:51 > 0:21:56just what you do not get comfortable with it. They are right, do not grip
0:21:56 > 0:22:01in frame when you are with lovely Anton, yes. You made some little
0:22:01 > 0:22:06mistakes, but you did not show it on your face. You carried on.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11CHEERING And there was a lovely chassis,
0:22:11 > 0:22:15defeat together, it was clean. You have made a wonderful improvement,
0:22:15 > 0:22:25so be proud.I am going to agree with Darcey. You have made strides,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28but you made several mistakes, so I will have to deduct the point for
0:22:28 > 0:22:35that.I will settle for one.Nine will do for me. Do not make me can
0:22:35 > 0:22:39those mistakes. Do not make me count them. Nice, free-flowing, nice
0:22:39 > 0:22:46trading. Not bad with the frame. You have got to keep your elbows up and
0:22:46 > 0:22:51to his right side but besides the mistakes, you are improving. It is
0:22:51 > 0:22:57going in the right direction.That was so much Halloween fun. Thank you
0:22:57 > 0:23:03both. Ruth and Anton. CHEERING
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Well done, kid.
0:23:08 > 0:23:17Well done.Darcey said, be proud. Last week he said was the first time
0:23:17 > 0:23:22that you threw off the nerves and you seem to enjoy that.I did, but I
0:23:22 > 0:23:28was nervous flying in. That set me off.You have got lovely support.I
0:23:28 > 0:23:36have got my TV son.And Denise and Stacey. People support you would
0:23:36 > 0:23:40ever you go. The scores are in. Will the judges please revealed there
0:23:40 > 0:23:41scorers?
0:23:51 > 0:24:02-- please reveal their scores.Happy with that? Yes.If you turn those
0:24:02 > 0:24:11sixes upside down, that could be the nines. Let's call it 38.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14If you loved that bewitching quickstep and want to see
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Ruth and Anton dancing again next week, all the details
0:24:16 > 0:24:19are on your screen now so you can vote for them
0:24:19 > 0:24:20when voting opens later on.
0:24:20 > 0:24:22Still to come, Davood does a romantic rumba with a
0:24:22 > 0:24:23ghost.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24That's the spirit.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25Tess.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30Next tonight is Simon Rimmer and his partner, Karen Clifton.
0:24:30 > 0:24:31APPLAUSE
0:24:31 > 0:24:32They're dancing an American smooth.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35And on this Halloween, the thing Simon is most scared of is being
0:24:35 > 0:24:36in the dance-off for the third time.
0:24:44 > 0:24:49On Saturday, the Charles Dunne was such a fine dance. I love their
0:24:49 > 0:24:52matching costumes and felt we were going to have fun, and we did.The
0:24:52 > 0:25:00recipe was missing some ingredients. There was no swivel.Simon put it
0:25:00 > 0:25:07all into the dance-off.It is great to be her. I will give it 100%.This
0:25:07 > 0:25:12week we are dancing and American smooth beanies waltz to Delilah.We
0:25:12 > 0:25:18are arguing over food, which sounds like Karen and I anyway. As it is
0:25:18 > 0:25:23Halloween and to get into the Victorian feel of their dance, Karen
0:25:23 > 0:25:27surprises Simon by summoning the ghosts of his ancestors. Why are you
0:25:27 > 0:25:35still in the training room?Hello, lovely to see you.So lovely. Yes, I
0:25:35 > 0:25:39figured I would sum in great uncle Hubert so we could get the Victorian
0:25:39 > 0:25:44feel for the dance. He looks in great shape for someone over 120.
0:25:44 > 0:25:50That woman he is with looks really familiar.It has been quite
0:25:50 > 0:25:54interesting having some guests from the Victorian age.I am looking
0:25:54 > 0:25:57forward to our beanies waltz this week. I hope it is more ghostly than
0:25:57 > 0:26:03gasoline. I really love my great uncle Hubert but he is not as good
0:26:03 > 0:26:08as me.No, he is better than you.
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Dancing the eerie American smooth, Simon Rimmer
0:26:10 > 0:26:20and Karen "Cobweb" Clifton.
0:26:20 > 0:26:26MUSIC: Delilah
0:28:02 > 0:28:08CHEERING
0:28:08 > 0:28:13That was a feast for our eyes.
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Come on over. They are still cheering.
0:28:15 > 0:28:20And I must say, you two look hideous!
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Eat up. Finish dinner. I am loving your hairstyle.
0:28:23 > 0:28:29Let's see if that put a smile on our joker's face, Craig?
0:28:29 > 0:28:35Besides the one painted on, no. It was the dance of the living dead.
0:28:35 > 0:28:40Rigor mortis had set in. It was so stiff. Your posture suffered, your
0:28:40 > 0:28:48hands were splayed. I did not enjoy it at all. I am so sorry.The Joker
0:28:48 > 0:28:54is supposed to smile.Darcey. I know you have had a tough time
0:28:54 > 0:28:58rehearsing. There were definitely no nerves. You're enjoying the
0:28:58 > 0:29:05character. It pretty scary. An extra point for the sideburns. It is true,
0:29:05 > 0:29:09it was lumpy all the way through. You have got to soften the knees to
0:29:09 > 0:29:15create any glide across the floor. There are still in character. I am
0:29:15 > 0:29:20glad the character is still going. The best bit was at the beginning,
0:29:20 > 0:29:26on the table. You were partnering Karen. That was the best bit,
0:29:26 > 0:29:32definitely.Thank you. Shirley.
0:29:32 > 0:29:36At the beginning, you were showing growth in your confidence and, for
0:29:36 > 0:29:41the most part, your frame is still good. I know I sound a bit like
0:29:41 > 0:29:46somebody nagging from Wallasey, but you have to learn what closes, what
0:29:46 > 0:29:53crosses, what is a flat foot, what is a toe. With your soft knee, it
0:29:53 > 0:29:55will help you to glide. Never underestimate the power of a bit of
0:29:55 > 0:30:03technique.Darling, that was not an American Smooth. It was an American
0:30:03 > 0:30:09horror story! I have seen articulated lorries that are lighter
0:30:09 > 0:30:12and have better rotation. I mean, talk about heavy. You exterminated
0:30:12 > 0:30:18that dance. But it's in the mood of Halloween, so you definitely killed
0:30:18 > 0:30:27it.We loved it! CHEERING
0:30:27 > 0:30:32Simon and Karen.
0:30:45 > 0:30:51Can I ask you, what were you eating? Oh, my goodness!In rehearsal, we
0:30:51 > 0:30:55said, we mustn't do it on the show because it's so dry but you can't
0:30:55 > 0:31:00swallow.You ate the chicken. We didn't think it was lumpy. You
0:31:00 > 0:31:04looked like you had enormous fun. You had an injury so only two days
0:31:04 > 0:31:10of training. You enjoyed it, right? I loved it.I'm so proud of you, but
0:31:10 > 0:31:15having two days and being in the studio just eight hours, come out
0:31:15 > 0:31:22and do that...Jane is in the audience, and she is the biggest
0:31:22 > 0:31:29super in the world. Sky when I told her I was in Strictly, I said, I'll
0:31:29 > 0:31:37get Karen. That was in April.It was booked in August. The scores are in.
0:31:37 > 0:31:43The judges have their scores. Craig Revel Horwood.Two.Darcey Bussell.
0:31:43 > 0:31:57Five. Shirley Ballas.Five.Bruno Tonioli.Four.They or just
0:31:57 > 0:32:04shouting. Much better than 16. If you are thinking, why don't I vote
0:32:04 > 0:32:07for Simon and Karen, you can, but only when the voting opens.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10All the details you need are on the screen now,
0:32:10 > 0:32:12and voting will open at the end of the show.
0:32:12 > 0:32:15Still to come, Joe and Katya foxtrot as spiders, and Mollie and AJ
0:32:15 > 0:32:18perform a cha-cha as devils.
0:32:18 > 0:32:22Yes, next up is Gemma Atkinson and her partner, Aljaz Skorjanec.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26For their Halloween routine, Gemma will be a vampire hunter,
0:32:26 > 0:32:29and she needs to get this jive right because, at this stage
0:32:29 > 0:32:32in the competition, the stakes couldn't be higher.
0:32:40 > 0:32:45Saturday, for me, wasn't the best because I felt like, being 100%
0:32:45 > 0:32:49honest, my dress was better than my live run. You just start to
0:32:49 > 0:32:54overstretch V neck.It could have been better but somebody who's never
0:32:54 > 0:32:58done it before, you are doing an incredible job.It's hit home now
0:32:58 > 0:33:04how much harder I need to work to get that edge. For Halloween week,
0:33:04 > 0:33:10we are doing a spooky jive. Our story is that I am a vampire slayer
0:33:10 > 0:33:17and Aljaz is a vampire. I'm a bit worried about Aljaz. What happened
0:33:17 > 0:33:22to your neck?I woke up and I've been bitten.When we were dancing,
0:33:22 > 0:33:27he looked really pale. Are you all right?I'm fine.Aljaz is definitely
0:33:27 > 0:33:33a vampire. Why are you dressed in a cake? We're not doing paso doble,
0:33:33 > 0:33:39are we? You need to go to a dentist before Saturday, but that's good,
0:33:39 > 0:33:44because that's what we're doing this week, so I can use it. Aljaz, I'm
0:33:44 > 0:33:49going to treat you to a.No!Know, a steak dinner. Keep your energy up
0:33:49 > 0:33:55doing the jive. I hope when foot the vampire materialises before Saturday
0:33:55 > 0:34:03night so we can both perform a fantastic jive. -- I hope Aljaz the
0:34:03 > 0:34:04vampire.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Dancing the jinxed jive,
0:34:06 > 0:34:10Gemma Atkinson and Aljaz "Scary" Skorjanec.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16MUSIC: Ever Fallen In Love
0:35:45 > 0:35:48CHEERING
0:35:55 > 0:36:07In the ballroom. Come on over. Well done, darling. Listen to that!
0:36:07 > 0:36:17Energy! Energy! They've all fallen in love. Did you enjoy it?I
0:36:17 > 0:36:23certainly did. It was light, your style was strong. Even your body,
0:36:23 > 0:36:26having your torso forward, creating that pump action was really
0:36:26 > 0:36:30effective. Impressive, and the complexity of that lovely sequence
0:36:30 > 0:36:34of kicks when you are side by side, very impressive. All the time,
0:36:34 > 0:36:40holding onto that fun, carefree attitude, which is just perfect. You
0:36:40 > 0:36:49are going far, Gemma. CHEERING
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Gemma, there were some mistakes at the beginning when you started. You
0:36:52 > 0:36:55got on the wrong foot and there were a couple of mistakes which I picked
0:36:55 > 0:37:01up. You had a very nice link today, and you had a beautiful rotation.
0:37:01 > 0:37:07You rotated your hips and your arm, which I thought was very good. For
0:37:07 > 0:37:10me, I thought the posture could have been more forward. I thought it
0:37:10 > 0:37:16could have been accented a bit on the twos and the fours. Not your
0:37:16 > 0:37:19best number, but I know you are a fighter and you'll come back next
0:37:19 > 0:37:32week.Oh, Cruella!My sweet -- don't mess with Gemma, because she is a
0:37:32 > 0:37:37jive slayer! She got it in the end. All done in the best possible taste.
0:37:37 > 0:37:43Seriously, there was so much content in that dance. It really was full
0:37:43 > 0:37:46on, proper jive. Very, very difficult. Very, very fast. You did
0:37:46 > 0:37:51it without breaking a sweat, and I missed the show for a week, but I
0:37:51 > 0:37:57have to say your growth and confidence in the joy of dancing,
0:37:57 > 0:38:01this show is all about the joy of dancing, and you have that, my
0:38:01 > 0:38:07darling. I love it.That was there to see, wasn't it? Craig, what do
0:38:07 > 0:38:13you think?You lost synchronicity through the fact that you made
0:38:13 > 0:38:17mistakes, sadly, and there was a bit of a lumpy moment going into that
0:38:17 > 0:38:22flank and getting out of it, going in and getting out were a bit messy,
0:38:22 > 0:38:26but I've got to congratulate you on the spins, a good amount of
0:38:26 > 0:38:29retraction, and you maintained the energy all the way to the end. It
0:38:29 > 0:38:36was great.Thank you very much. We all know, Gemma the jive slayer.
0:38:36 > 0:38:39Thank you! CHEERING
0:38:39 > 0:38:47Gemma and Aljaz.Come on, partner. CHEERING
0:38:51 > 0:38:59All right, darling. Don't be disappointed.I know.Never!She
0:38:59 > 0:39:06wants to make you so happy. Reed she does. As they said, I put so many
0:39:06 > 0:39:11steps in every week, and you do them to perfection.But I know the
0:39:11 > 0:39:14beginning bit and that's annoying, I forgot the easy bit!You never did
0:39:14 > 0:39:21that in rehearsals.And they said you have a joy of dance, don't you.
0:39:21 > 0:39:24In the corridor when you are practising, you were going to dance
0:39:24 > 0:39:32for ever. We thought you did great. Will the judges please reveal their
0:39:32 > 0:39:38scores. Craig Revel Horwood. Reed seven. Darcey Bussell.Eight.
0:39:38 > 0:39:51Shirley Ballas.Seven.And Bruno Tonioli.Eight.That's the best
0:39:51 > 0:39:54we've ever done for a jive. We've never got better.She's just
0:39:54 > 0:39:59checking that you are happy.Very happy.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02If you've fallen in love with Gemma and Aljaz's jive and think
0:40:02 > 0:40:04they deserve your vote, all the details you need
0:40:04 > 0:40:05are on your screen.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07Please don't call yet, as voting won't open until all
0:40:07 > 0:40:08of our couples have performed.
0:40:08 > 0:40:12Still to come, Aston and Janette smell like teen spirit.
0:40:12 > 0:40:19Our next couple is Joe McFadden and his partner, Katya Jones.
0:40:19 > 0:40:25Last week, Joe got second on the Leader Board. Tonight, they are
0:40:25 > 0:40:28dressed as spiders and they are hoping to crawl their way up to the
0:40:28 > 0:40:33top spot.
0:40:33 > 0:40:42A big day on Saturday. That was amazing. I really went for it.The
0:40:42 > 0:40:49Phoenix has risen from the ashes! Ten.To get Ken was mind blowing.
0:40:49 > 0:40:58Yeah! -- to get ten.Joe and Katya get straight down to training. I'm
0:40:58 > 0:41:03going to be the black widow spider and you are going to be trapped in
0:41:03 > 0:41:08my web. Funnily enough, I am quite scared of spiders. I don't like them
0:41:08 > 0:41:14much. As it's Halloween and catty as a fear of spiders, Joe decides to
0:41:14 > 0:41:21trick rather than to treat. -- and Katya has a fear.I've got a spider
0:41:21 > 0:41:27surprise for Katya. SCREAMING.
0:41:27 > 0:41:35It's a spider dog. That's Crumble. It was my little crumble dog dressed
0:41:35 > 0:41:41as a spider! It's got lost of feet, but her footwork isn't good enough.
0:41:41 > 0:41:48Not to need, is it?I hope yours is going to be better on Saturday.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52Crumble gave us a ten. She's a good girl. I don't think she thought it
0:41:52 > 0:41:55was to ruff.
0:41:55 > 0:41:56Dancing the frightful foxtrot,
0:41:56 > 0:42:00Joe McFadden and Katya "Jeepers" Jones.
0:42:02 > 0:42:12MUSIC: Trouble
0:43:47 > 0:43:50CHEERING
0:43:53 > 0:44:03Yes! Brilliant storytelling. Always with you two. Still trapped in your
0:44:03 > 0:44:14web. There you go. Shirley, you scored him ten last week. What did
0:44:14 > 0:44:19you think?I thought the concept was created and you should your ability
0:44:19 > 0:44:24with the spinning and topping and turning. When you have a quick, it's
0:44:24 > 0:44:27generally on the ball off the foot, so it was a bit flat-footed. You did
0:44:27 > 0:44:32some weaving and you had six quicks backwards which should have been on
0:44:32 > 0:44:38your toes. Generally, the flight, the flow, being on top of it, a good
0:44:38 > 0:44:47frame and I was pleased with you in the ballroom style.You have got to
0:44:47 > 0:44:51be really careful. A kiss from the Black widow and you are closed. But
0:44:51 > 0:44:57I have to say, you manage the situation like a master. Sometimes
0:44:57 > 0:45:03when you do this high concept, you get lost in the concept. Once you
0:45:03 > 0:45:06move into the ballroom dance, the foxtrot, it becomes awkward. You did
0:45:06 > 0:45:13not. Aldi translation, from the character and the weirdness into the
0:45:13 > 0:45:23proper dance, it was well executed. Storytelling. Really good.Craig. I
0:45:23 > 0:45:29really love the energy and drive you provided in this particular foxtrot.
0:45:29 > 0:45:34You also provided a little bit of swing and sway, which was a delight.
0:45:34 > 0:45:39And I loved the setup of the storytelling, the drama inside the
0:45:39 > 0:45:45dance.He gives us the drama. Darcey. You did execute a very
0:45:45 > 0:45:49difficult foxtrot. There were wonderful moments when you sped up
0:45:49 > 0:45:53on the lovely pivots when you came round, and you were able to go
0:45:53 > 0:45:59incredibly slow. Really, really impressive. Actually, you were in
0:45:59 > 0:46:06control. There were moments when you did look slightly uncomfortable, but
0:46:06 > 0:46:11fortunately, Katya did not eat you up.I was in her hand.The judges
0:46:11 > 0:46:17loved it and so did we. Great job. Well done. Joe and Katya.
0:46:17 > 0:46:26CHEERING
0:46:28 > 0:46:32Well done. You must be over the moon.You love the character dances
0:46:32 > 0:46:38but I know that you find rehearsals great and sometimes you coming and
0:46:38 > 0:46:43it you go like this.It goes out of the window a bit.Tonight was OK. It
0:46:43 > 0:46:48was much better than OK. It was a beautiful routine.The scores are
0:46:48 > 0:46:54in. Ladies and gentlemen, the judges have their scorers.
0:47:02 > 0:47:13-- have their scores.Top of the leaderboard. Fantastic.
0:47:13 > 0:47:16If you don't want these spiders to be ushered into a glass
0:47:16 > 0:47:20with a piece of cardboard and then thrown out of the show, you are
0:47:20 > 0:47:21going to need to vote for them.
0:47:21 > 0:47:24All the details you need are on the screen now and the vote
0:47:30 > 0:47:36The Charleston, you need concentration but so much energy.It
0:47:36 > 0:47:42is fast, furious, it feels like a volcano.Ballroom is being the
0:47:42 > 0:47:47steps.I need to be more dainty. I need my arms and upper body to be
0:47:47 > 0:47:53still and rigid and let the bottom half do the talking.I am finding it
0:47:53 > 0:47:56difficult to make it feel like a dance right now.It is stepping by
0:47:56 > 0:48:02numbers. I need to make sure that when in hold my head is not flying
0:48:02 > 0:48:04across the dance floor.
0:48:04 > 0:48:06So much to look forward to tonight.
0:48:06 > 0:48:12And as it's Halloween, Claudia is pretending to be a ghost.
0:48:12 > 0:48:15Up next is Mollie King and her partner, AJ Pritchard.
0:48:15 > 0:48:17CHEERING
0:48:17 > 0:48:20They're going to be demons doing the cha-cha.
0:48:20 > 0:48:23All week, they've been working on the finer points of the dance
0:48:23 > 0:48:26because we all know for the judges the devil is in the detail.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29You can take it off now, Claude.
0:48:29 > 0:48:32Take what off?
0:48:40 > 0:48:44Saturday night was my favourite night yet.I literally love that
0:48:44 > 0:48:49dance. For 90 seconds I felt like a princess.You were gliding around
0:48:49 > 0:48:54like you were on a carousel of your own.There was lots of wonderful
0:48:54 > 0:49:04Viennese waltz on. Eight, eight. Eight. The hard work paid off. One
0:49:04 > 0:49:08of the favourite performances of my life.This week, Mollie will be
0:49:08 > 0:49:15hoping to stay red hot as she plays the devil and dance is a cha-cha.
0:49:15 > 0:49:19There are so many steps.Sometimes I is overnight. Craig will not be
0:49:19 > 0:49:27impressed with that cha-cha. What do you mean, he will find it fabulous.
0:49:27 > 0:49:34It is almost as though I can see two sides AJ talking to me.The cha-cha
0:49:34 > 0:49:40is a hard dance this week. You will struggle. No, I believe in you, you
0:49:40 > 0:49:45will be fine, do not let him scare you.What were we doing? After a
0:49:45 > 0:49:51long day of training, Mollie tries to get a good night's sleep.Wake
0:49:51 > 0:49:58up. Do not wake up. She needs her sleep. She has to do. I just had a
0:49:58 > 0:50:02nightmare. I hope we keep the devil at bay and our performance is
0:50:02 > 0:50:05nothing but angelic.
0:50:05 > 0:50:07Dancing the chilling cha-cha-cha, Mollie King and AJ
0:50:07 > 0:50:17"Pumpkin" Pritchard.
0:50:22 > 0:50:26MUSIC: Better The Devil You Know
0:51:54 > 0:52:03CHEERING Mollie and AJ.
0:52:03 > 0:52:05For a couple of devils, you two look really cute!
0:52:05 > 0:52:07From these cheeky devils, to another.
0:52:07 > 0:52:12Bruno?
0:52:12 > 0:52:16That was a devilishly good cha-cha. There is so much fun, I wanted to
0:52:16 > 0:52:22join in. I know that the performance and connection has improved since I
0:52:22 > 0:52:26was here last time. But there is one thing in the cha-cha, you were
0:52:26 > 0:52:30projecting the right field, the fund, the cheekiness of it but you
0:52:30 > 0:52:35have to be careful how you place your feet. If you do not place your
0:52:35 > 0:52:39feet correctly, the legs become stiff and you do not get the right
0:52:39 > 0:52:43hip action, and all you do is side to side. It is not side to side, it
0:52:43 > 0:52:48has to come through the leg. Apart from that, great performance.Thank
0:52:48 > 0:52:55you.Craig. I thought you needed straighter legs throughout. There
0:52:55 > 0:53:00were slight balance issues, only slight. The beginnings of good hip
0:53:00 > 0:53:06action, I think, so there is a little teaser in there for us. The
0:53:06 > 0:53:10rotation in your hips, when you sort of grind down to the floor and back
0:53:10 > 0:53:15was very good. And you looked extremely confident and very
0:53:15 > 0:53:23comfortable doing this dance. Well done.Darcey. It suits you, your
0:53:23 > 0:53:28cheeky, you're a nice little devil, and not bad either. There were some
0:53:28 > 0:53:32nice sharp accents were you finished things. Your weight is a little bit
0:53:32 > 0:53:36back, especially when you start to time, he was trying to hang onto
0:53:36 > 0:53:42you, but I love the Kylie Minogue arm movements, nice emphasis.
0:53:42 > 0:53:45Improvement all the way, keep going, this focus and determination.You
0:53:45 > 0:53:55will do well.Thank you. Shirley.I think you look magnificent in your
0:53:55 > 0:53:58outfit and you are bringing your personality. Your strength of
0:53:58 > 0:54:02character is coming through, but for me, there are some issues. The
0:54:02 > 0:54:07court, the centre of your body, it needs to be more toned, and your
0:54:07 > 0:54:13weight needs to be carried over the balls of your feet. Because it is
0:54:13 > 0:54:18collapsing in the centre, you are waiting your shoulders as healings.
0:54:18 > 0:54:22They are lifting. Your shoulder blades need to be placed on and your
0:54:22 > 0:54:26centre pulled up, so your legs and arms will coordinate and everything
0:54:26 > 0:54:30will work better. There are still improvements but I want to give you
0:54:30 > 0:54:38tips to move forwards.Thank you, Shirley. That was a great cha-cha.
0:54:38 > 0:54:47Well done, Mollie and AJ. CHEERING
0:54:47 > 0:54:55Thank you. Craig said you were confident.You do not like Latin. I
0:54:55 > 0:55:00hate it. I love the ballroom. Last week was your favourite week and you
0:55:00 > 0:55:06find the cha-cha the hardest.It has been a tough week, but I loved it,
0:55:06 > 0:55:12dancing to Kylie Minogue, it cannot get better.You are right.The
0:55:12 > 0:55:16scorers are in. We did the judges please reveal their scorers.
0:55:28 > 0:55:34OK.Are they disappointed? Yes.You had a ball. Even if they did not
0:55:34 > 0:55:37enjoy it.
0:55:37 > 0:55:39If you thought Mollie and AJ's cha-cha was fantastic,
0:55:39 > 0:55:41then please make sure that
0:55:41 > 0:55:42they get your vote.

0:55:44 > 0:55:47Voting will open at the end of the show once all our
0:55:47 > 0:55:48couples have danced.
0:55:48 > 0:55:48We're just over halfway through.
0:55:48 > 0:55:49We're just over halfway through.
0:55:49 > 0:55:52Let's see how the leaderboard looks.
0:55:52 > 0:56:01Our bad the top, we have Joe and Katya with 32. Simon and is -- Karen
0:56:01 > 0:56:06are down at the bottom with 16. That can all change, because we have five
0:56:06 > 0:56:12couples left.
0:56:12 > 0:56:15Next, it's Alexandra Burke and her partner, Gorka Marquez.
0:56:15 > 0:56:18For this Halloween tango, Alexandra's going to be a zombie.
0:56:18 > 0:56:20When it comes to dancing we know Alexandra is dead good
0:56:20 > 0:56:25but the question is, will she be any good dead?
0:56:25 > 0:56:27How do you feel about Saturday? I was
0:56:27 > 0:56:29How do you feel about Saturday? I was pleased but I felt like I could
0:56:29 > 0:56:34have done better.Your clothes are turning in. Bring the feet together
0:56:34 > 0:56:39before you move onto the next step. I want to improve on what they say.
0:56:39 > 0:56:43I will take the criticism. I want to get better at something I love
0:56:43 > 0:56:50doing, which is to dance.This week is Halloween week. We are dancing
0:56:50 > 0:56:54the tango.Halloween has always reminded me of my childhood, so I
0:56:54 > 0:56:59will take Gorka to my primary school today and meet the kids. This is
0:56:59 > 0:57:03where everything began for you? Yes, this is where the singing and acting
0:57:03 > 0:57:09first started. Right here is where my classroom old was. I think we are
0:57:09 > 0:57:15and dressed.Let's get changed. Changed? Yes, let's do it. I think
0:57:15 > 0:57:26we are ready. Come on.I was very excited that Alexandra and Gorka
0:57:26 > 0:57:30came to our school today.Did you know that I used to go to this
0:57:30 > 0:57:35school?That is why I came here today.They are my favourite. The
0:57:35 > 0:57:39kids were so excited to see us dancing.They loved it. I will
0:57:39 > 0:57:45definitely be dancing the tango for these kids today.Good luck.
0:57:45 > 0:57:47Dancing the terrible tango, Alexandra Burke and Gorka
0:57:47 > 0:57:49"Monstrous" Marquez.
0:57:58 > 0:58:01MUSIC: Maneater
0:59:24 > 0:59:28CHEERING
0:59:31 > 0:59:39What about that, ladies and gentlemen? The tango by our zombies.
0:59:39 > 0:59:46You brought that tango to life! Wow. The back of my neck was standing up.
0:59:46 > 0:59:49The judges were picky with you last week but let's see what they think
0:59:49 > 0:59:55tonight.You came out with all guns blazing, darling. It did not stop
0:59:55 > 1:00:02until the end, which I was delighted with. It was full of intent and
1:00:02 > 1:00:07purpose, its powerful -- pithead power, wonderful staccato and
1:00:07 > 1:00:09accents, and I really loved it.
1:00:16 > 1:00:19Alexandra, you were fierce, not wild, but strong and clean. And
1:00:19 > 1:00:24those clipped moves come on every transition, whenever you change
1:00:24 > 1:00:27direction, the attack and everything that came, and you recovered well,
1:00:27 > 1:00:34when you were rolling around through Gorka's legs, you came back up into
1:00:34 > 1:00:42a cold, and the focus was brilliant, terrifyingly good. -- into a hold.
1:00:42 > 1:00:48As we say in Liverpool, you were dead but, really great. You have an
1:00:48 > 1:00:52immense free thing when you separate. And then back into great
1:00:52 > 1:01:04frame. SLIGHT PROBLEM WITH SOUND.
1:01:04 > 1:01:09Almost a perfect one from me, but one little mistake you made.I know
1:01:09 > 1:01:18what you mean. I can have your tango for breakfast, lunch and dinner. She
1:01:18 > 1:01:21goes like... She is like a tigress. You attack everything absolutely
1:01:21 > 1:01:28fearlessly. You go for it like an animal, and I love that magnetism
1:01:28 > 1:01:34and power. Something happened, and I know why. I am the same. Sometimes
1:01:34 > 1:01:38you get so carried away, you want to do it so much, that the impetus
1:01:38 > 1:01:44carrying you through, at times, in certain moments, you need a moment
1:01:44 > 1:01:47of stillness, you know what I mean, to give a bit more punctuation, but
1:01:47 > 1:01:53we're talking about the bigger picture, and you are great.
1:01:53 > 1:01:55CHEERING You must be get happy with those
1:01:55 > 1:02:00comments. Off you go. Let's hear it for Alexandra and Gorka!
1:02:00 > 1:02:06CHEERING
1:02:09 > 1:02:15Well done, darling. You must have been so happy. I'm so sorry because
1:02:15 > 1:02:21I think something went a bit funny with Shirley's microphone, but she
1:02:21 > 1:02:25loved your staccato moves, she said it was almost perfect. You haven't
1:02:25 > 1:02:30been in a hold for a couple of weeks.It's intense doing it, five
1:02:30 > 1:02:35weeks, but I know where I went wrong. We just did a couple of
1:02:35 > 1:02:39steps, but I can feel... You know what I'm like. I see what they're
1:02:39 > 1:02:45saying and I want to improve. I had a great time.She mused she went
1:02:45 > 1:02:48wrong walking down...But you two can now communicate just by looking
1:02:48 > 1:02:56at each other.Absolutely.But you frowned at him.Today I didn't and I
1:02:56 > 1:03:03thought, if I shut in his heir, will have stop.Good.Craig Revel
1:03:03 > 1:03:14Horwood.Nine.Darcey Bussell.Nine. Shirley Ballas.Nine.Bruno Tonioli.
1:03:14 > 1:03:25Eight.Well done. That's the highest tango so far this series. Well done.
1:03:25 > 1:03:27If you don't want these brilliant zombies to be out of the
1:03:27 > 1:03:31competition, you'll need to show your support.
1:03:31 > 1:03:33All the details you need are on the screen now,
1:03:33 > 1:03:35and voting opens towards the end of the show.
1:03:35 > 1:03:37Still to come, Susan is the Mother of Dragons.
1:03:37 > 1:03:39Not easy during half-term.
1:03:39 > 1:03:42Disaster at the soft play area.
1:03:42 > 1:03:48Next on the floor is Davood Ghadami and his partner, Nadiya Bychkova.
1:03:48 > 1:03:53CHEERING
1:03:53 > 1:03:56For this rumba, Nadiya is a flying spirit in Davood's haunted house.
1:03:56 > 1:04:00Don't worry if you hear things that go bump in the night -
1:04:00 > 1:04:02it's probably just Craig falling off his chair again.
1:04:10 > 1:04:13Was our best elected, wasn't it?It was the best one and you did so
1:04:13 > 1:04:21well.It was energised...You did great.We get to do something I've
1:04:21 > 1:04:29always wanted to do, Halloween week. The greatest theme.Davood and
1:04:29 > 1:04:34Nadiya want to cast a spell with the haunting rumba. It's a tough dance.
1:04:34 > 1:04:41What I have to say, it's the toughest yet by quite a long way. As
1:04:41 > 1:04:47Davood los Halloween so much, Nadiya has a treat in store.You brought me
1:04:47 > 1:04:51to a haunted house.Yes.They're going to get lost in a maze with a
1:04:51 > 1:04:58twist. It's made of mirrors.We been taken through a mirror maze. That
1:04:58 > 1:05:02place is very disorientating. I can't see which way is out. That's
1:05:02 > 1:05:06not out. As if the rumba wasn't scary enough... Nadiya has brought
1:05:06 > 1:05:12me here to scare me some more. Which is lovely from your partner, isn't
1:05:12 > 1:05:17it! That was a reflection. Where is the real you?It was so much fun. It
1:05:17 > 1:05:26scared him.That's freaky. OK, I'm out of here!I'm not messing around.
1:05:26 > 1:05:31We have to do some rumba now.If I can deal with the house of horrors,
1:05:31 > 1:05:34I can definitely deal with the rumba.
1:05:34 > 1:05:35Dancing the revolting rumba,
1:05:35 > 1:05:40Davood Ghadami and Nadiya "Blood Curdling" Bychkova.
1:05:47 > 1:05:56MUSIC: Wicked Game
1:07:25 > 1:07:27CHEERING
1:07:36 > 1:07:42Absolutely gorgeous! Yes! You brought the house down, the haunted
1:07:42 > 1:07:50house. I know it's going to do that. Did it sends a shiver down your
1:07:50 > 1:07:55spine, Darcey?It wasn't bad. You know, for a man to feel comfortable
1:07:55 > 1:07:59with those fluid moves and have that desire through their body, and
1:07:59 > 1:08:01keeping it strong and controlled at the same time, you did very well.
1:08:01 > 1:08:08There wasn't much rumba basic, but the improvement what really
1:08:08 > 1:08:13surprised me was in your arms. You had the ability to express them,
1:08:13 > 1:08:15they had some sensitivity every time they touched her. I was really
1:08:15 > 1:08:20impressed with that. Well done. APPLAUSE
1:08:20 > 1:08:27It's difficult.Well, we've said before that this is a very difficult
1:08:27 > 1:08:32dance, and some rumbas are easy on the eye but unfortunately, for me,
1:08:32 > 1:08:36this was quite difficult on the eye, and I'll explain why. You could have
1:08:36 > 1:08:41danced a cooker rupture, which is a basic step in two straight legs
1:08:41 > 1:08:45where you rotate your hips, and you did lunch after lunch after lunch.
1:08:45 > 1:08:50So there was no flow from me, from movement to movement. You're a
1:08:50 > 1:08:54beautiful man and I recognise that you have a beautiful feeling, but
1:08:54 > 1:08:59that isn't enough for me this dance, unfortunately.Plenty of six-pack
1:08:59 > 1:09:11action. That suffice! Listen, no, really. They called the rumba the
1:09:11 > 1:09:14woman's dance, and you provided a wonderful frame for your partner.
1:09:14 > 1:09:19You played the part, enchanted by the temptress. You were living every
1:09:19 > 1:09:26moment. Your arms were much, much better. Your intensity was there.
1:09:26 > 1:09:30Yes, you could drag your feet a little bit more. Drag the feet
1:09:30 > 1:09:34through the floor. It gives you a better hip action. But I thought the
1:09:34 > 1:09:44overall performance was very, very nice.Craig?As a dance, I loved it,
1:09:44 > 1:09:49but as a rumba, I didn't. I didn't think... There wasn't enough basic
1:09:49 > 1:09:53steps, and the basic steps you did, you didn't do very well, but I loved
1:09:53 > 1:09:58the feeling and the emotion. I loved the fact that you were presenting
1:09:58 > 1:10:03the lady. I mean, you could put that dance on a stage and it not be in a
1:10:03 > 1:10:05competition and it would be very beautiful. But there wasn't enough
1:10:05 > 1:10:12of the rumba in it, really, for me, anyway, to give you a higher score.
1:10:12 > 1:10:15But, personally, I could sit and watch that at home every day,
1:10:15 > 1:10:22darling.Everyday, darling! Mixed comments. It's challenging for the
1:10:22 > 1:10:28male celebrities. Well done, Davood. CHEERING
1:10:34 > 1:10:43Well done. Well done. You've had a hard week.It's been tough.First
1:10:43 > 1:10:47male celebrity to do the rumba. We were talking and it's so hard.He
1:10:47 > 1:10:54did so well. It's the most difficult dance by man because of all the body
1:10:54 > 1:11:01action, but I think he did great.I enjoyed it.Ollie Langford is here,
1:11:01 > 1:11:06your TV mum, and one judge a day, she didn't like and she said, that
1:11:06 > 1:11:13do! -- Bonnie Langford.The judges have their scores. Craig Revel
1:11:13 > 1:11:20Horwood.Five.Darcey Bussell. Seven.Shirley Ballas.Six.And
1:11:20 > 1:11:30Bruno Tonioli.Seven.A couple of seconds, and it am now. -- it's
1:11:30 > 1:11:31done.
1:11:31 > 1:11:34If you thought Davood and Nadiya's rumba was an excellent
1:11:34 > 1:11:35addition to the show, then please make sure
1:11:35 > 1:11:37that they get your vote.
1:11:37 > 1:11:39All the details you need are on your screen,
1:11:39 > 1:11:42and voting will open once each of our couples has performed.
1:11:42 > 1:11:44Still to come, Debbie and Giovanni do a Charleston,
1:11:44 > 1:11:47Dancing next is Susan Calman and her partner, Kevin Clifton.
1:11:47 > 1:11:50CHEERING
1:11:50 > 1:11:52They're doing a routine inspired by Game Of Thrones,
1:11:52 > 1:11:54where Kevin is the King of the North,
1:11:54 > 1:11:56but can Susan be Queen of the Foxtrot?
1:11:56 > 1:12:00Let's find out.
1:12:05 > 1:12:13How did Saturday go?I loved it.You didn't half go for it!Not your best
1:12:13 > 1:12:18dance.No hip action.We were joint bottom. But it gives us something to
1:12:18 > 1:12:25work on.Exactly, Halloween week! There we go. For Halloween, we are
1:12:25 > 1:12:35dancing the foxtrot to Killer Queen. We got our drag queen in Susan and
1:12:35 > 1:12:42the warrior from the north, Kevin. -- dragon Queen.During training,
1:12:42 > 1:12:48Susan isn't quite feeling herself. It happens to the best of us.I woke
1:12:48 > 1:12:53up this morning and every time something goes wrong... I breathe
1:12:53 > 1:12:59flames like a dragon.Susan is picking up the steps nice and
1:12:59 > 1:13:04quickly and she has been on fire every time she goes wrong. Didn't
1:13:04 > 1:13:10mind so much because she was on hand to warm up my coffee when it went
1:13:10 > 1:13:18cold. Do you mind?No.Cheers.We've worked flaming heart, so hopefully
1:13:18 > 1:13:27our foxtrot will set the dance floor alight. -- flaming hard.
1:13:27 > 1:13:29Dancing the frightful foxtrot,
1:13:29 > 1:13:32Susan Calman and Kevin "Cackling" Clifton.
1:13:33 > 1:13:37MUSIC: Killer Queen
1:15:08 > 1:15:13CHEERING
1:15:17 > 1:15:26How about that? Absolutely brilliant. Brilliant.
1:15:31 > 1:15:38You looked awesome, the pay review. Magnificent. We were keeping it
1:15:38 > 1:15:42understated for Halloween.Yes. I like your style. I could feel the
1:15:42 > 1:15:44heat from back there from those flames.
1:15:44 > 1:15:45She's a killer queen.
1:15:45 > 1:15:48Was that a killer Foxtrot, Shirley?
1:15:48 > 1:15:52You know how much I love you, but for me, it lacked grace and
1:15:52 > 1:16:02elegance. Hold on a minute. Give me a minute. You just started to define
1:16:02 > 1:16:07between that powerful Latin girl and that beautiful floor in the smooth.
1:16:07 > 1:16:11Today, it lacked that a little bit. The foxtrot is the Rolls-Royce of
1:16:11 > 1:16:17the dance. It was bang, bang. You got on the wrong foot a few times. I
1:16:17 > 1:16:23know you know that, you're smart. Not your best dance for me today but
1:16:23 > 1:16:27I know you will come back fighting. For me, it liked everything that
1:16:27 > 1:16:34foxtrot is about.I love you too, Shirley, but for the Halloween Game
1:16:34 > 1:16:42Of Thrones dragon breathing foxtrot, Grace is not what we were going for.
1:16:42 > 1:16:49It is a fair point. INAUDIBLE
1:16:49 > 1:16:56It is not the kind of foxtrot I like to see.How about you? You have got
1:16:56 > 1:17:02too many scripts and you have got confused. All of a sudden it was
1:17:02 > 1:17:08like Alice in Wonderland, chased by the mad Hatter, and then a desperate
1:17:08 > 1:17:13foxtrot. While of the madness of it all. I really appreciate the fact
1:17:13 > 1:17:19that you give it 110%, but it has to be somehow be recognisable as a
1:17:19 > 1:17:26foxtrot. It was at times, but technically, lots of mistakes, my
1:17:26 > 1:17:31darling, but always great fun to watch.Thank you very much. So much
1:17:31 > 1:17:37fun. Craig, last week you scored a frugal four for Susan. What do you
1:17:37 > 1:17:42think tonight?I thought my ride on more at home had more grace and
1:17:42 > 1:17:47elegance. It did like slow and it was predestined. I understand what
1:17:47 > 1:17:52you were trying to achieve. You did achieve that, the Game Of Thrones
1:17:52 > 1:17:58thing. It was not for me. You were out of pulled along as well. That is
1:17:58 > 1:18:05into the pot, sadly.Happy Halloween.I have got some good
1:18:05 > 1:18:09things. You came out and I could see you were trying to maintain the
1:18:09 > 1:18:13shoulders, you were keeping it down, working on Bienek, you were
1:18:13 > 1:18:22composing yourself. There was a start, a transformation happening.
1:18:22 > 1:18:28Little moments of style. It just did not last. Your character is so
1:18:28 > 1:18:33strong you get quite excited. I can see that happening as you get more
1:18:33 > 1:18:39and more into it. It is like, yes. It is totally endearing, but try and
1:18:39 > 1:18:44hold onto that and focus more.I am just still excited to be on the
1:18:44 > 1:18:50show.We are excited to have you. Thank you, judges. Not the best
1:18:50 > 1:18:56comments. You can always said your dragon on them later. Off you go.
1:18:56 > 1:18:59Susan and Kevin. You were great.
1:19:06 > 1:19:11Susan, Susan. They were shouting up here, no mistakes.There was not one
1:19:11 > 1:19:18mistake. There were no mistakes.I will be honest about it. I do not
1:19:18 > 1:19:21really remember any mistakes.It is Halloween on Strictly. If you do not
1:19:21 > 1:19:26want to dress up and give it all you have got, people do not want to see
1:19:26 > 1:19:33subtle at home, do they?Also, the girl who plays you in Game Of
1:19:33 > 1:19:38Thrones, she is watching right now. She has sent you a message.Hello.

1:20:51 > 1:20:53week, they're hoping for another monster score.
1:20:53 > 1:20:57How do you feel about the weekend? Wonderful, could not be better. I
1:20:57 > 1:21:02have never seen as standing leg is beautifully straight.That really
1:21:02 > 1:21:10made me feel good.Well done. Beautiful. This week, Debbie and
1:21:10 > 1:21:14Giovanni are getting to grips with a cheeky Charleston.This week it is
1:21:14 > 1:21:19Halloween. I will be the Frankenstein monster.That will be
1:21:19 > 1:21:23scary but it would be fantastic if I got to dance with a real monster. Do
