Week 11 Strictly Come Dancing

I have made it to the quarterfinals.

I can't believe it's musicals week.

I feel so, so lucky to be here.

I'm

having the time of my life.

I can't

slow down now. I've got to keep

working hard.

It's not time to go

home.

It's not time to go home.

It's

not time to go home.

# Food, food glorious food...

APPLAUSE

It's a Musicals Special.

This is Strictly Come Dancing.

Please welcome your hosts...

Tess Daly.

And Claudia Winkleman.

Hello and welcome to

Strictly Come Dancing -

our Musicals Special.

A massive thank you to our

professional dancers

and remaining couples

for that amazing Oliver

themed routine.

Wasn't it great?

It left us all wanting more

and the good news is,

there's plenty more to come.

Last week, after a dramatic

night of double

dancing it was Joe who

topped the leaderboard.

And there was more drama

when Alexandra and

Gorka faced Susan and Kevin

in the Dance Off and

Susan left the show.

Our remaining six celebrities

will be giving it their

all in a bid to reach

next week's Semi Final.

And as it's our Musicals

Special we're expecting

them to make a real song

and dance about it.

As always, they'll need

to impress this chorus line.

Please welcome the judges.

Darcey Bussell.

Bruno Tonioli.

Craig Revel Horwood.

And Shirley Ballas.

APPLAUS

APPLAUSE

The judges, everyone.

Musical.

Our six couples are

backstage waiting in the

wings, so let's raise

the curtain and welcome...

BOTH: Our Strictly Stars.

EastEnders star, Davood Ghadami

and his partner Nadiya Bychkova.

Pop star Mollie King,

and her partner AJ Pritchard.

Actress and Radio Presenter,

Gemma Atkinson

and her partner Aljaz Skorjanec.

Entertainer and Radio Broadcaster,

Debbie McGee and her

partner Giovanni Pernice.

From Holby City, Joe McFadden

and his partner Katya Jones.

Singer and Theatre

Star Alexandra Burke

and her partner Gorka Marquez.

There they are - our six stars.

A couple of cats,

Mary Poppins and even

the Phantom of the Opera.

All hoping for rave reviews tonight.

You will be able to vote

for your favourites later

on.

Your votes will be added

to the judges' scores

to decide which two couples

will face the Dance

Off in Sunday night's Result Show.

It's then down to the Judges

alone to decide who

stays in the competition

and with only two weeks

until the Final nobody wants

to put a foot wrong.

And treading the boards

first tonight is Gemma

and her partner Aljaz.

Tonight they're dancing

a Quickstep to 'Hello

Dolly' and they're hoping

it will lead to Gemma

saying "Hello Semi Final!"

I absolutely loved our samba on

Saturday.

I did. We didn't get the

comments and scores we wanted.

Your

hands looked like soup ladles.

But

we had fun.

Wiki 11...

Quarterfinal.

You ready? This week, we are doing a

quick step to hello Dolly from hello

Dolly.

At times, Aljaz says, it's

easy, you just do this, and I'm

thinking... I don't want to be

falling flat on my face. At the

minute, there was a possibility I

could.

It is like a swan swimming in

a pond. The feet are going 1 million

miles an hour but the top is still.

We're going to try and channel our

innocent ones.

I'm not there get,

I'm more of a duck, but I will get

there, I think. -- I'm not there

yet. He is the boss, he knows what

he's on about. Dieting tips --

starting to make a little bit more

sense now. I need to channel it

through and out of my body.

Hopefully, I can turn into a swan

when I need to on the dance floor.

Dancing the Quickstep,

from the musical Hello Dolly

Gemma Atkinson and Aljaz Skorjanec.

MUSIC: "Hello, Dolly!"

APPLAUSE

Well, hello, Gemma.

What a start to the show!

What a reception from the audience.

Her little face!

Before we hear from

the critics let's

welcome back our brilliant

live singers Hayley,

Patrick, Andrea, Tommy

and of course our very

own musical maestro

Dave Arch and his

wonderful orchestra.

Thank you, boys and girls.

Did Gemma pull out all

the stops for tonight's

Quarter Final, Shirley?

I think you did very well. It is

such an iconic piece of music, and

just Hello, Dolly. You came down the

stairs and started. I just felt it

could have had a little bit of 20%

more in the acting skills, but you

had your swanlike posture, and

immaculate frame. You did some

immaculate movement, beautiful

footwork, I just felt it needed 20%

more.

APPLAUSE

She is an actress, Bruno - did she

shine in the spotlight?

She got my

attention. I love the Broadway diva

entrance. Back up, boys, here comes

Gemma! What I think happened, on

those kind of showbiz, razzmatazz

sequences, you held your own. She is

right, once you went on hold and did

the quickstep proper, the character

lost impact a little bit. It came

back again on the grand Broadway

ending, but at this stage, you have

to fire on all cylinders all the way

through. I thought it was a very

good turn.

Lovely turn! Craig?

It

needed to be lighter. It looked

laboured and heavy to me. The

scatter chassiss... I loved all the

quotation at the beginning, to the

music, that was wonderful. And I

loved the theatricality.

APPLAUSE

. Darcey?

It was certainly a hot,

cheeky quickstep. You brought

everything to the character, and the

personality stayed with you, I

believe. I am with Craig on this -

to create a better likeness, it came

from your posture. If it could be

more taut and tighter in the lines,

you would get that effect. Then it

would show off all that wonderful

choreography you were producing.

And

it was wonderful. Thank you for

kicking off the show, Gemma and

Aljaz.

That was absolutely brilliant. Just

so you know, the last time you open

the show was shown number one.

Yes!

That was a while ago!

And you were

like, I really don't like being in

Holt. And now you do. You've enjoyed

that, didn't you?

The film is just

brilliant.

The scores are in.

The judges have their scores.

Craig Revel Horwood...

Darcey Bussell... Shirley Ballas...

And Bruno Tonioli...

It is more than

last week. Just so you know, what is

sweet, the professional is going

like this, do it.

You're trying to

make him better. Thank you for

making me feel bad.

If you thought Gemma

and Aljaz's quickstep

was a lovely start to the show,

then you will need to make

sure they get your vote.

All the details you need

are on your screen now

and voting will open later on.

Please do.

As it's a musicals special I've been

put in charge of Aladdin's lamp.

I would love someone to help me

with the terms and conditions.

Here we go.

Oh, it works?

CHEERING

This is wonderful.

Take it away,

Russell.

# Calls to the short number

from a mobile cost 15p.

This is happening. You are not

asleep.

# Calls to the long number cost 15p,

plus your network's access

the bill payer's permission.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you

Russell. Thank you.

You can vote online by visiting

bbc.co.uk/strictly where you will

also find terms and conditions.

You having a nice time? Lovely,

because I have met everybody again

but I do not know what you dress me

up like this.

We could not help

herself.

Voting won't open until all our

couples have danced.

Don't call yet as your vote won't

count and you may still be charged.

Tess.

Next tonight, dancing

for a place in our semifinal,

is Mollie and her partner, AJ.

CHEERING

Mollie's improvement over the last

few weeks has really

impressed the judges.

Tonight, she's hoping to keep that

up as she takes on one

of Strictly's toughest

challenges, the rumba.

Come on.

Saturday night, my gosh. It was my

favourite Saturday yet. I just

thought, this could be your last

time, so just enjoy it and that is

exactly what I did.

That is the way

to get to the final.

Thank you.

Mollie and AJ. The white people have

taken time out to Broad for us is

the most amazing feeling. This week,

we are dancing the rumba. We are

doing it to a song from Grease. To

help me get to grips with it, I

think counting out loud, AJ said I

should not be stepping on one, but

two, three, four. It is

mind-boggling. I hope I will get to

grips with it that way. Hello.

Hello. I wanted to get him something

to say thanks for this journey

together.

It is such an achievement

we have got this far. Mollie has

given me the most amazing present, a

gift of pure memories. That was the

first week, going to training. Each

photo says something completely

different, from one week to the

next. That seems like ages ago. It

is the best present she could have

got me. It is amazing how much we

have done.

I feel emotional. We have

worked so hard this week, I hope we

can continue to fill up the pages

with more memories.

This will be at

our rumba photograph. Another

fantastic you.

Dancing the rumba,

from the musical Grease.

Mollie King and AJ Pritchard!

MUSIC: "Hopelessly Devoted To You".

APPLAUSE

CHEERING

Well done.

Amazing.

Did you watch the kiss? I

was so close. You put everything

into that, including yourself. You

could actually be sandy. Brilliant.

The rumba, not the easiest dance,

especially in front of your dad, AJ,

I knows he is in the audience. That

chemistry lived believable to me.

What do you think? Or, yes. I could

feel my -- the fireworks myself. I

was not expecting your ability to

translate all this wonderful emotion

into such a beautiful motion.

Tonight, really, your quality of

movement was better than ever,

especially the way, it is so hard to

get a move moving through your bag

into your arms. I have never seen

you doing that before. I really

never have. You did so well.

You

have improved so much.

CHEERING

You can see the improvement.

Can

you? First of all there was a

full-blown lift in it and you had

already started the rumba on the

platform.

What a lift, it was

fabulous.

I would accept thing you

-- I would accept you jumping into

his arms, but you try to turn it

into something spectacular. It was

spectacular. I do not agree with

Bruno. I thought you were dancing by

numbers. You need more extension in

the body. You had some hip action

which was good and lovely straight

legs.

I liked it. Stop throwing

things, Bruno.

There was lot of it -- there was a

lot of being in the audience. I do

not think the agreed.

Darcey. This

is one of my favourite musicals and

how you played the image of the pure

sandy, it was divine. Your timing

was really nice as well, sweet and

romantic for a rumba. It is unusual.

I would have liked it more sensual.

If that could have been created

through stronger resistance through

the feet, for me, I would have

preferred that. It would have

followed stronger through the body.

I thought it was a little bit late

and girly.

Instead of womanly.

They

are so sweet. I wanted a little bit

more to it. Anyway, a really good

effort.

Just not my favourite.

Shirley.

Rumba lady.

I thought you

embrace the characters, I absolutely

believed your love story. I want to

start with that. I do agree with

Craig, you did throw in the lift. It

was beautifully executed but you had

started to rumba already. When you

started at the beginning, there was

no AJ there. You had to start that

on your own. To Michael, three,

four. Fantastic. You did a swivel on

two, three, you did a swivel on

four, you held your one, and then

Hugh Dan stand you did not step on

one. Your timing was impeccable.

Timing. The rumba Queen. Very

difficult to do. I felt like you

were totally on your feet. I think

the portrayal of this dance was a

bit girly. The music was not going

to be are they, I thought you got it

just right.

Thank you. We loved it.

You're making more memories for that

lovely book. I beautiful job. Off

you go. Mollie and AJ.

You did

amazing. I am so proud of you.

Well

done, you have been calling it the

dance of them. I have. You have had

real problems.

You're all by

yourself at the beginning. It was

late, AJ, AJ. All week I have been

trying to do the cans, so it is

great that Shirley said it was good,

it was amazing.

You have worked so

hard. You love Grease but you have

never been able to play sandy

before?

Are always used to put shows

and for my grandparents, they had to

watch. One of my sisters was sandy,

and I was the others. I am finally

sandy.

The scores are in.

The judges have their scores.

That is the first time you have ever

got two nines. You reacted. We are

so uncool. No, you're very cool.

If you loved Mollie and AJ's Grease

inspired rumba and would like to see

them dance in next week's semifinal,

please give them your support.

All the details are up on your

screen now and voting will open once

all our couples have danced.

Look.

Still to come, smoke

will fill the ballroom.

Meaning either Davood

is the Phantom Of The Opera,

or I've left a moussaka in the oven.

Tess.

Next up is Joe and his

partner, Katya.

CHEERING

Definitely the Musacchio.

They're dancing to a song

from the musical Cabaret.

As an actor, Joe's taken on plenty

of roles but tonight he's got

How amazing was Saturday night? It

was good.

The best Saturday night.

It was superb.

To get two tens, and

two nines was beautiful.

We were

best overall.

It feels good. It

feels really good.

This week, it is

the samba. It is Money, Money, from

Cabaret. I have done a few musicals

in my time, the first one when I was

12 years old at school in Glasgow.

Maybe I can show you where my love

of acting started.

Really?

A trip

down memory lane. Joe McFadden,

actor.

Hello. Nice to see you.

Good

to see you. What kind of student was

Joe?

Fantastic. It is spotlight on

him and the way he goes.

I have some

footage up my sleeve. It was a real

trip down memory lane.

Oh, no. You

love being on stage. It is perfect

for our musicals weak performance.

My old stomping ground. We performed

in front of my old school. It seems

perfect to come back on musicals

weak to win I developed my love of

acting and musicals and hopefully I

will pull it out of the bag at the

weekend.

CHEERING

Good luck Joe and Katya.

Dancing the samba,

from the musical Cabaret,

Joe McFadden and Katya Jones!

MUSIC: "Money, Money".

APPLAUSE

You're on the money, Joe! Brilliant.

Show tunes, you're in your element.

Wasn't that brilliant? Look at that!

Those acting skills of yours were

put to good use there.

He topped the leaderboard last week.

How did he do tonight, Craig?

I was all ready for this samba to

fail, with the idea and the concept,

but you know what? It was

incredible. The characterisation,

timing, it was engaging, I loved it.

We love it when Craig loves it.

Darcey?

Wonderful characterisation,

how you were able to gel such an

iconic role as the host with this

samba cinema incredibly difficult,

and you kept in character all the

way through with all that difficult

technique. The feet were slightly

turned out, but the flexibility and

the shadow roles at the end...

Does

Joe have what it takes to make this

semifinal, Shirley?

Absolutely. When

you got this samba at this late

stage in the game, I was extremely

nervous, but you married everything

together. You're acting skills are

off the chart will stop walking from

that corner said this, into your

natural role and your shadow role at

the end. Fantastic!

Divinely

decadent, and slightly twisted.

That's not me! The character, you

brought him perfectly to life.

Imagine a samba in Berlin, the

Kitcat club, 1931 - it could not

have been better than that.

The

comments couldn't be better commie

really -- couldn't be better,

really.

Joe and Katya, congratulations.

You've found it nerve-racking

because it was a different kind of

samba, slower, I believe.

We loved

it, absolutely loved it.

And it has

been your dream to be in a musical?

It has. I just want to say a quick

hello to my drama teacher who

couldn't be there. I owe everything

to her.

The scores are in.

The judges have their scores.

Thank you, darling. Thank you so

much.

You look so cute.

If you enjoyed Joe and Katya's samba

and would like to see see them

dancing in next week's semifinal,

then you will need to vote for them.

All the details you need

to show your support

are on the screen and voting

will open towards

the end of the show.

There is all of this still to come.

The hardest thing about this routine

is that everything is slow and

controlled, so you really have to

have strength in your muscles.

We

can have lifts here, which is great,

but you want to make sure they are

right and work with the music and

are pleasing to the eye.

I had been

waiting to do a charleston. Every

time I have seen one, I have been

like, I wish that was me. I hope we

can deliver this.

I'm looking

forward to all of that. What have

you got there?

It is a little dog

from the Oliver routine. I've got

him totally under control, don't

worry! What's next?

It is and they

are dressed as Cats.

Wrong word!

And dancing next is Debbie

and her partner, Giovanni.

They're dancing to a song

from the musical Cats and they're

hoping this American smooth

will have the judges

purring with delight.

There wasn't one second of the

Argentine tango I didn't enjoy. The

atmosphere in the studio was

tingling.

You were totally

unbelievable. I wish I could dance

like you, my darling.

Wow!

Quarterfinals!

Ready to go?

Absolutely.

This week, Debian

Giovanni are getting their claws

into an American Smooth. -- Debbie

and Giovanni.

The thing I find

interesting about this dance is that

there are so many spins, and it is

really important to get the

technique right.

Where are you

going? I am the man, I am wearing

the trousers.

Giovanni's worried he

has put so many pivots, but those

are the least of my worries. We have

the faintest lifts, where he thinks

I am a 20-year-old and not a

59-year-old, but I do get excited

because I can't believe I'm actually

them. It's that muscle where I am in

pain. Because I am suffering with a

back problem, I am struggling with

the lifts this week, but I will give

it everything I've got to get them

right. I feel like I've climbed to

the top of a mountain, but I think

we are set to go.

Dancing the American smooth,

from the musical Cats,

Debbie McGee and Giovanni Pernice!

MUSIC: "Memory".

APPLAUSE

The atmosphere in here! Beautiful!

What a partnership! Shirley is

giving you a standing ovation as

well as the audience. That left -

exquisite! -- that lift.

No wonder you look like

the cat who got the cream.

Two tens last week.

How was Debbie tonight, Darcey?

She was stunning. I am purring with

delight. It was the fluidity, how

one move ran into the next. When you

join together and you turn and

reverse and turn out and then in and

came into Holt, my goodness! The

coordination with the arms and

everything, it was so exquisite. --

came into hold. And that embrace

must my goodness! -- and that

embrace - my goodness! I think it is

going to be a memory etched in

everybody's hearts for a long time.

It was just beautiful, intimate,

polished. It was inwardly feeling. I

felt every moment with you. When you

did the spinning live, came out and

stay balanced and kept yourself

together, that was hugely impressive

for me. Well done, Debbie.

Hugely

impressed with these comments so

far. Bruno?

A smash hit!

Interpretation in the technical

skills, flawless, but what you did,

you created a sense of pathos in the

room, it was tangible. You took

everyone with you in the story. The

story was told so beautifully and

flawlessly, it was mesmerising.

Look

at Craik's face.

Prrrr!

I think he

liked it! Thank you, judges. It

doesn't get much better than that,

does it? Give him a lick on the way

past! Give it up for Debian

Giovanni. -- Debbie and Giovanni.

Anton just turn to me and said, that

was amazing. And you had a difficult

week? Very difficult, yes. I think I

forget I'm 59 and keep thinking I'm

20. It caught up with me this week.

But it was worth it. He really

pushes you, but it is worth the

experience.

And that was amazing

choreography.

Well done.

The scores are in.

The judges have their scores.

I think they're happy. Well done.

If you thought Debbie and Giovanni's

feline American smooth

was the cat's whiskers,

then you will need to vote.

All the details are on your screen

now and the vote will open once

all our couples have danced.

Still to come, Alexandra and Gorka

do a Mary Poppins themed Charleston.

Well done, guys.

Tess.

Our next couple fighting

for their place in the semifinal

is Davood and his partner, Nadiya.

Last week, he delivered

a beautiful waltz.

But tonight we'll see a darker side

of Davood as he takes

on the Argentine tango

as the Phantom Of The Opera.

The waltz, how wonderful was that?

So magical.

I had no clue how it had

gone. There were lovely comments

about the whole performance.

Stylish, extremely elegant, I was

totally charmed.

Here we are - the

quarterfinals, musicals week... I

want this to be so epic. We are

doing the Argentine tango. The main

theme from Phantom of the Opera. I

believe I am the first male

celebrity doing the Argentine tango,

so no pressure.

It is such a

beautiful dance, so intense. Make

sure it is more this...

Nadiya

spirits Davood after the West

Do you have some advice? -- off to

the west end for some tips.

Would

you like to see a preview of our

Argentine tango?

We would love to.

I

thought it was passionate and

beautiful.

I was hugely impressed.

The Phantom is such an iconic

character. It is such a good story,

it will stand us in good stead and

we will use it all tonight in this

Argentine tango.

Dancing the Argentine

tango, from the musical

The Phantom Of The Opera,

Davood Ghadami and Nadiya Bychkova.

MUSIC: "Phantom Of The Opera".

CHEERING

Brilliant, brilliant.

Goodness me.

Yes. The standard of

dancing tonight. We wanted drama and

you brought it. Thank you very much.

Our first male celebrity to do the

Argentine tango.

How did he do? I

liked the character and you had some

spectacular lifts, but you had some

stumbling problems this evening and

some balance issues. I am sure you

could feel that. I would have liked

you to be more in control. It did

not go the best this evening. OK.

Bruno. It powerful, menacing

presence, yes, good figures and

images, but it was not slick enough.

You cannot be wobbly in the

Argentine tango. It is starting

Panther. Moments were unsteady. It

was a good effort, but.

OK. Yes, I

think that hampered your lead a

little bit. I did not feel like you

were leading the dance. However, I

love the concept, and I love the

fact that you maintain the Nadiya's

balance through the arabesque turn.

I really liked it.

An excellent

leading man.

Darcey. You started off

immaculately. I believe that the

balance and control, as Craig said,

in the Times, the arabesque, it was

here, but as it got faster, trying

to maintain that there were balance

problems. That is so difficult in an

Argentine tango, but well done.

Thank you. We all thought you were

amazing. You were a complete novice.

You have come so far in this

competition. He should be proud of

themselves. It is Davood and Nadiya.

Well done.

CHEERING

Well done.

They loved it. The atmosphere in the

studio was electric.

Did you feel

that? Maybe it got to me too much,

maybe that made me go. But I loved

it and the atmosphere was great.

It

is fantastic and massive

congratulations, you're engaged.

CHEERING

.

The scores are in.

The judges have their scores.

29. Yes. Slightly disappointed?

Gets, there were some balance

issues, so that is fit enough.

But I

loved it. They said it was a great

dance.

If you adored Davood and Nadiya's

dramatic Argentine tango

and you want to see them in next

week's semifinal, please

make sure you vote.

All the details you need

are on your screen now and voting

will open very shortly at the end

of the show.

about Strictly, go to the website.

This week, AJ unveils his life-sized

matchstick model of Elaine Paige.

It is quite mesmerising.

Tess.

Look who I'm with!

It's Denise Lewis and Ed Balls.

Lovely to see you.

Ed, what's it like to be

back in the ballroom?

Fond memories? It brings back all of

the nerves and the excitement. I

have got to say, I could never get

anywhere near the quality we have

seen tonight.

They have been

brilliant. The standard is

sensational. You will enjoy this.

Right, our final couple is Alexandra

and her partner, Gorka.

Tonight, she's dancing

for a place in the semifinal

and she needs this Charleston

to be

supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!

I love dancing the rumba but I feel

I allowed my nerves to get the

better of me.

I felt it lacked any

sort of connection and chemistry.

You never know what is going to

happen in this competition. I was

not shot we were in the bottom two,

but I thought, I have to give it my

all. Thankfully we are still here to

fight another week.

For musicals weak, Alexandra and

Gorka I dance seeing a Charleston to

a song from Mary Poppins. But what

is it called, Gorka?

Super... No, it

is

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

I will channel my inner Mary

Poppins.

Hold on, that is Debbie

McGee's trick.

I did it first.

Ready? I am ready.

Let's do it.

Why

are we in your kitchen? Because of

all your hard work teaching me how

to dance, I want to put you a meal.

Thank you, I'm starving.

Do you like

to cook?

I love cooking. It is a

typical English meal like spaghetti

Bolognese. What do you think of the

food? It is very good. The pastor is

on point. Hopefully on Saturday

dance will be as good as she is in

the kitchen.

Let's do a Charleston.

If the judges like her Charleston as

much as Gorka like my cooking, we're

in for a great night.

Dancing the Charleston,

from the musical Mary Poppins,

Alexandra Burke and Gorka Marquez!

MUSIC:

"Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"

CHEERING

My goodness. Yes.

What a show-stopper!

What a show-stopper!

You've bounced back

from the dance-off.

You have raised the roof. You have

brought the house down.

Bruno is

still dancing. I am going,

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.

Super Alexandra. Perfect in every

possible way. It really was the show

stopper we needed to end this

fantastic night.

Well done. Thank

you, Bruno. So true. So much swivel.

Surely you have to be impressed,

Craig?

Yes, you had better swivel

than Gorka. Well done, I love that,

brilliant.

Darcey.

It was absolutely

terrific. The ease, the energy, and

who could tell who was not the

professional? You were up there. My

goodness, the amount of detail you

gave us. It did not stop. You did

not take a breath. Even with a plain

swivel, you give us twisting and

turning.

Every possible.

Fabulous.

Thank you.

The energy, Shirley? Last

week you were in the bottom two and

this week you were stratospheric. I

loved it, you were brilliant.

It is

official. You are a hit. She is

fabulous. We will not forget that

for a long time, Alexandra and

Gorka. Well done.

How did you feel?

I feel like I am in shock. You

wanted to do this dance more than

any other.

Absolutely, it is so much

fun.

No wonder, she is better than

me. Gorka, you are very good at

dancing. Well done, Gorka.

It is an

honour to close the show. Such an

honour to close the show, and that

the quarterfinals it means so much,

so I am just grateful.

Happy. Happy.

This guy is just learning.

The scores are in.

who loves to dance.

But in the meantime, keep dancing!
