Week 2 Strictly Come Dancing

Last weekend, Strictly kicked off. Now were Strictly is in Business!

Everyone brought something to the party. Bottoms Up! Summer came out

of their shells. You could not be more can be if you tried. Others

were spitting feathers and won a Boreham a bird brain forgot how to

fly! Nothing to shout about. A bad case of the number twos. And worse.

But it was a truly amazing bash. Beauty, mate! Tonight, the ballroom

dancers. The competition has just got serious! It is knockout timer.

It is enough to make grown celebrities cry. Yeah, yeah, yeah!

welcome your hosts. Bruce Forsyth. What Are you wearing? It's

embarrassing, please. Good evening ladies, gentlemen and children. And

welcome to Strictly Come Dancing. It's nice to see you...

AUDIENCE: To see you nice! And it's nice to see you, Bruce.

Are you OK? You look a bit annoyed. Well, I am a bit annoyed. The

producer came rushing up to me today and asked if I'd seen this

great show on TV. She said, "It's fantastic, Bruce. And it's set in

the time when you were a child". And I said, "Oh, you mean Downton

Abbey?" She said, "No, Planet And there was one dinosaur called

camposaurus. He had a bit of a mince. Come back over here, please.

Tonight something big is about to happen. All 14 couples dancing on

the same bumper ballroom bill. Boil? Bill. It must be a big

boiler. That's right. Last weekend, 14 dancing stars were born. But

tonight it's a fight for survival because one couple will be the

first to leave the competition. Harsh but true. Adrenaline is

coursing through their veins. And blood is pumping through their new

buff ballroom bodies. Shall we let them rip, Bruce? What was all that

about? Enough talk. It's the stars of our show! Astrologer to the

stars Russell Grant and his partner Flavia Cacace. Singing Legend Lulu

our dancers last week. Mind you, he's promised things will be

different this week. He's going to We've got at mutiny on our hands.

Last week the judges scored our celebrities, and those scores will

be carried over to tonight. Our 14 couples will perform either a

I'm looking all over the place. Whatever you are saying, I'm saying

How about that? One of four. -- one before. That was great. -- one

before. Issues like a little swizzle stick. It's a good time to

welcome our singers Dave Arch and his wonderful orchestra. And of

course we have our judges. We all know that Craig is Australian. What

we all don't know is that recently As a citizen of this country may I

welcome you. And on behalf of Great Britain, I'd like to ask, any

chance we can appeal? The sorry about that, Craig. Len,

what did you make of this? They let anyone in nowadays, don't they? I

was a bit chilly around a Willie, but it warned me up a treat. What's

wrong with that? You came out and it was full on Nov. For me, your

hair was going like crazy. Your trousers were flapping about.

You've got to calm down, dear. It was too much. You've got to take

good karma. Having said that, it Now then, birthday girl, Alesha.

you, Chelsee, the section you did here was so impressive on your own

High praise. Get off quick why you Commander, Chelsee. First Micro,

what a beautiful, uplifting start to the party. Yes, that is what I

wanted. Kicking of the show, it is a lot of pressure. Did you enjoy

it? I did, I am knackered now! Elegant last week in the waltz,

sexy in the salsa, what more have you got to give us? I have got a

lot more. If we have something up our sleeves. If she allowed a

celebratory phone call home if she gets through to next week? She is

allowed one phone call? Only one. These calls are in. It is time to

vote will not count and you may still be charged. Nobody wants the

couple, Edwina Currie and her Now, I... I told Edwina, you. She

last supper. Oh, that is a bit strong. Too much messing about on

the table. I knew he was going to say that. I wanted more content of

the foxtrot, and unfortunately I did not get it. I thought he might

say that. She was going to pay the bill. What did you say to me?

Alesha? They are having a little chat. He said, I don't know nothing.

That is all of us! Alesha. Getting into character is brilliant, but

Len is right, it was too long getting into the dance. But when

you're dancing, it looked really nice. So you should be proud. Next

time, yes, dancing a little bit longer. Bruno. Naughty Edwina,

spending all the time playing under the table. You forgot about the

foxtrot, that is what happened. The foxtrot has to have a smooth flow.

The little there was, it was like watching a bendy bus negotiating a

tight roundabout. You could never quite getting to it. It is true!

it! Our crew go, it was marvellous. Come on, Edwina. Give us a roar.

messing about, Len said. You used to be a politician, you're not

going to let him have the last word. I would have said, you really ought

to think about supporting the people who do all the hard work,

especially Vincent. I tell you, doing the foxtrot for the first

time is just an amazing, terrifying experience. She is living every

woman's dream. I think so! Oh, yes! Have a look at this. She is not

disagreeing, is she? Wait until you see what we can do next time.

Exactly. She teases us, the scores Same as last week. Same as last

about. Out of interest, Edwina, what would you have for dessert at

the Italian restaurant? I would have been sent! What woman

wouldn't? This is the number to call when the phone lines open.

That is if you would like another helping of Edwina Currie next

Saturday and you want to see her back in the ballroom. Over to you,

is from one fist to the other, 86 inches. I wanted to find out just

a few boxes in America, but you are the best we have ever had, I tell

you that. You really are. You have a rhythm about you. Alesha. You lit

up the room and put a smile on everybody's face. You tried so hard

and you did your best. Of course, lots of improvement but you on the

right track. You are enjoying it. And I enjoyed it. Bruno. He cannot

lose. You can't do it. The thing is, it was more like disco night down

the local pub. The cell set is a different, you lost the Sile --

thought, I would have another this up about five seconds but no, I'm a

comments. He's off the hook. That's a relief. Call 09015 22 20 07 when

lines open later if you think Audley is a force to be reckoned

with and you want to see him dancing next week. Remember, one

celebrity must leave the competition, which means the

pressure to perform is huge. The judges' scores are only half the

story. Your votes can help save your favourite couple. Back to you,

paralysed with fear, and then, of course, it was a lamb to the

competition. You're a sexy woman. Next three, go for it. There's only

one way to go and that's upwards, hopefully. The Foxtrot is the most

Lovely, well done, Dan Lobb! Really great, I loved the tennis pit as

well. Start as off. Thank you so much of the hand spring and the

smile, darling, that was nice to save. The rest of it, unfortunately,

was not good. That round and round step, I would cut that, that was

just horrific. That was his favourite, he was so proud of it!

Was he? He was so proud! attractive, sadly, some of it,

especially getting in and out of the lists. Len. Well, for a nice

change, I cannot quite agree with cougar over most of that. He is

correct that the Doe's Kido was a little bit... But having said that,

at is that the word for it? All the staff, the bottom line is this for

you, I reckon this is the one dance that is going to least suit you,

and if that is going to be your worst dance, you have got a long

way to go. All right, lovely! Now then, Alesha. I do not think my mum

would think that was an attractive. I really wanted to be great,

because you have got the goods, the lists were great, the flare at the

beginning was really brave. Wasn't it? Latin may not be your strongest,

you may be stronger in ballroom, but you have that somewhere to

start. If that is your worst one, you have got somewhere to go.

missed the rehearsal, but you nailed it there, a true performer.

Bruno. Dan Lobb, it rhymes with Bob the Builder, that is what you were

like. You were swinging hair like a bag of cement! It was lumbering and

heavy. Salsa is smooth and flowing. Good effort, but not a good result.

Don't worry about that, you do not look worried. No. There are one,

off you go, be proud, it was Come on! It is Dan Lobb the

builder! Did you enjoy these somersaults? Yeah, we landed them,

that was enjoyable, but the most important thing is that neither of

us need hospital treatment, and as far as I'm concerned that is a

resounding success. I am very proud of you. Did you enjoy the freedom

of the Latin more than the ballroom? I did, yeah, that was

quite nice. Disappointing that they thought it was our worst dance. Oh,

that is a positive, sorry, I was confused by the judges again!

a tough week. There has got to be a breakthrough in How I learned. I

have to write and go over it like a mad thing. And a desperate woman, I

will be trying everything. Obviously, with Lulu forgetting

most of the routine last week, I had to come up with a bit of a

solution. Brain food! And what you're going to enjoy is some

lovely berries, but you might not enjoy the Brussels sprouts. Would

you least going to enjoy... Me and my friend Ted. You took too long.

Nice, that is looking more like a foxtrot. I do think that I have

made progress. Are you getting the feel of it? A bit more. I think it

Lovely, Lola! Great job. Brendan is pleased with you, and I am. That

was so good, it really was. Len. Last week he went to pieces, but

this week you have got through the routine. That is the start. Now you

have to work on the Polish, you have got to work on your feet, they

need more conviction, your posture needs to be stronger. But what an

improvement on last week, a great improvement! So pleased. Alesha.

Yes, so much better than last week, you looked much more focused and in

control. It was very atmospheric, and I thought you would not make it

through without singing, you cannot help it! But it was lovely. Yes,

well done. Now then, Bruno! Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the

prettiest of them all? Star! you were tonight, because you

played it with the emotional fragility of a teenager in love

whose heart is about to be broken, and you were on it all the way

through. Len is right, it needs polishing, but you can dance if you

want to. That is it. Now then... Craig. I felt like you were trying

to keep up with Brendan, and you ended up chasing in a little bit

through the dance. Also, you were looking into his chest a lot of the

time. You need to make a decision, either left or right. But lovely

pivots, a really gorgeous standing spin. You are still my favourite!

Off you go, the pair of you, be Nice one, Brendan, well deserved.

You remember it all the steps, how relieved are you? We are so happy

for you! I know you are. Don't call it a comeback! Wardley is saying do

not call it a comeback. Great storytelling, quite right.

Seriously, though, how have you found this? Tougher than you

imagined? Oh, believe me! I thought it would be difficult, but not this

difficult, and I think my nerves kick in this week. Last week I was

trigger-happy, and I screwed it all up, but, yeah, much more difficult.

Are you kidding?! You do not know until you come near. The scores are

I am happy with this. He is never happy! I really want to impress the

judges, but I'm not grasping the salsa as quick as I thought I would.

It feels so wrong. It is all about performing the dance, selling it to

the crowd. You need to go for it, give it 100%? She feels a bit funny

to try to be sexy. I do not feel sexy at all! Can you just keep

dancing and looking at me? She really finds that hard. I might not

look at you, but I might look here. It is quite upsetting and

depressing sometimes. What is wrong with his face? Because she is an

actress, she has to act it out sexy. I will be selling overpriced

Baby, because you have got it! Words of wisdom they have. Craig?

Some timing issues there. The limbo straddle you did, you could have

gone further with that idea. Greater hip rotation, though. Great

you're putting those ahead of reps in it, what was good. The routine

was great. And Len? My overriding criticism is that you wanted to go

faster pulls up it's like pulling off a plaster, and you wanted to

pull it off and you kept losing your timing. You flew through

Artem's legs once and then twice balls-up it's like you're checking

for an oil leak! Apart from that, I thought it was great. Oh, Len.

Looking for an oil leak. Thank you, Yes! Salsa suits you. Frankly, all

of it does. Holly, you went for it. It was more fun this week,

definitely. Holly, you're a laidback Australian. Artem is a

steely Russian. How is this working out so well? I do what I'm told and

then it works. He has got the right attitude. Bitten by the ballroom

Robbie Savage, what about that?! Look at this, Robbie! Look at that,

look at them standing up! Look at this! Wonderful! Ola, well done,

absolutely, that was fantastic. Len! Few little beauty! Oh, yes,

number two, give that a two! Listen, the more you give, the more marks

you get, and you are giving plenty, and you are going to get plenty!

Well done, Robbie, well done indeed. Ola. It is really good to see his

smiling and enjoying yourself, that opening sequence was really good,

you were light-footed, charming, right back on track, just keep

going, Robbie. Bruno. Robbie Savage has gone to Hollywood! Hang

Confident, debonair! What a transformation! Yes, it was a

transformation. And we don't care what Craig says, do we?! Head

done. Keep it up, you are a great Yes! Robbie is back! Robbie!

Robbie! He shoots, he scores, they are on their feet in the studio and

ready for that? After last week, I think we might be in for a treat.

Over to you, Bruce. Craig gave him seven, go and have a lie down! Our

next couple is Anita Dobson and her partner Robin Windsor. Now then,

Anita was telling me that her husband, Brian May, and by the way,

he is here, how are you? I have always been a fan! He is the famous

musician from the group Queen, and he has agreed to re record one of

his hits in support of all the ladies on this show. Isn't that

nice? I just hope it is We Are The Champions and not Fat Bottomed

Girls. They would be furious! All right, here they are in training. I

It was a fantastic evening. It just seemed slightly dreamlike, that was

made dancing this wonderful dance. I was kind of almost not ready to

take in the Commons, because you are slightly zapped at the end of

the first dance. Elegant, poised, beautifully acted. Boy, oh boy,

that was incredible! I want to do it again, I want to do more. I

cannot wait to learn some more, it This week we are dancing the salsa.

It is kind of mad and natty and slightly insane. I'm going to have

to get Anita to bring out her saucy side, because it is a very sexy

dance. Well, he has said that in order to make me even more at home

with the kind of movements, he wants to vocalise the whole dance.

Whatever makes it work, if that is what he wants me to do, I will do

it. Anita looks at me like I am absolutely crazy, but hopefully

these will make sense to her. much better when you do the noises!

I respond to his voice, if he makes a noise, I understand what that

does. Silently, my body is asking the question, her body is giving

said that, I thought it was fantastic. It was fun, fun, fun.

much fun, I don't care about the mistake, that was brilliant, Anita.

It was a tropical cocktail follow flavour and spice that raises the

heat, so much so that he went on the wrong foot a couple of times,

but who cares? We had so much fun with it, and that is what sulci is

all about. I love the bump and grind you gave to Craig. You should

have seen his face. I thought it was like Bonnie Langford being

chased by parking Dalmatian. think that is probably good thing,

actually! Unintentional break for the worst in there, sadly, on the

Dancing the foxtrot, Jason Donovan Hit looked as though he turned it

up! Come over here. Can he keep the standard that? I tell you, that was

marvellous, it was a little bit of Hollywood there. Alesha. Jason, you

are a real showman, UN character even before the music started. You

commit 100% to your performance, you moved brilliantly around the

floor, you mirror each other brilliantly, and it was a very

seductive foxtrot, and you completely seduced May, it was

wonderful. Behave yourself! In a very nice clean away. Bruno. Jason,

she is not bad, she has just drawn that way. That was so LA

Confidential, the fan fatale seducing the good guy, playing with

him, toying with him and disposing of them. But you are just acting,

this is a piece of acting that you do. It is absolutely great to see,

I love it. Wonderful story. OK, now then, Craig. Your head position

needs attention, especially in the standing spin, it is just a stiff,

but magnificent routine, Class C, stylish. Then, to agree about the

head position? Yes, his head could be to the left a bit more, but it

is not in my nature to be nasty. It was full of flair and personality,

that is what I have got to say, the footwork was mostly good. Now, can

you be top of the leaderboard two weeks running? I think so. Here we

go, off you go, be proud, it was A standing ovation. Come on up here.

How was that? Well, it's tougher the second week around. The Foxtrot

is such a concentrated effort. I think there is more personality

last week. I'm happy with that. What do your children think? They

will be waiting on the footpath for me tonight. As they did last week.

So good together. Right, all right, Craig, what did you think? Harry,

you can dance. But, Aliona, you have got to sort his posture and,

he is looking down a lot, his wrists need attention, his thumb

needs attention, there is so much detail that needs to be done, but

you could be fantastic. Yes. All those things need attention, but

whatever you do, don't have an operation. I will not speak to you,

Aliona, because I heard you say that you never listen to the

Church's, so I'm going to speak to you, Harry. There was nothing great

about it, but there was netting terrible. The thing is, it lacked

finesse, your left arm is too far forward, your right arm... And try

to help this chap, we are required for a few seconds? And your chin is

always down, you have got to lift up, stretch up, flat back, why

Good. Lift your chin up. Imagine what this is like! What did you

think? Harry, I think you move brilliantly, you are one of the

best dancers in this competition. Yes, you are. One I would say is,

because the judges see the potential, they might be tougher,

but you can turn that into a positive, that is what I would say

to you, because you are going to go far, trust me. Very important. It

was romantic. It was, I think there was something very, very special

about Harry. You are strong, you are focused, you work very hard.

You have got a great feel for the music. With the right nurturing,

and his partner Flavia Cacace. Yes, I know you want to see Russell,

everybody wants to, but listen, wasn't he great in his dance last

week? We all thought it was fantastic. I said to him, your

performance was like something I saw at Glastonbury. He said,
