:06:04. > :06:08.Lisa was slipping all over the floor. If she goes over because she
:06:08. > :06:14.is slipping, that is my head. Better safe than sorry to put
:06:14. > :06:20.rubber on the bottom of the souls. But it did hinder... Kind of my
:06:20. > :06:28.fault. She was doing perfectly in rehearsal. If you look at the Tate.
:06:29. > :06:36.Bonfire Night it just happens like that. Fastest Charleston Darcy has
:06:36. > :06:41.ever seen. Can't get faster? Nice and calm from now on. It is no
:06:41. > :06:51.wonder when you are going at such a speed that you were a cup a certain
:06:51. > :06:56.
:06:56. > :07:06.odour! I should have my own fragrance. I once this! I love you
:07:06. > :07:16.
:07:16. > :07:24.A smell that longer has -- lingers longer than he does. Mine would
:07:24. > :07:33.smell of chips and gravy! brilliant. We've had words with our
:07:33. > :07:38.friends in Paris, do finest oils they could find. Fabulous.
:07:38. > :07:42.Shepherd's Bush market! This week you are doing the tango. Do you
:07:42. > :07:48.think that could work in your favour? Yes, we are doing nothing
:07:48. > :07:51.like we've done before. It is not as fast. We are going to do proper
:07:51. > :07:57.dancing with proper footwork, hopefully my frame will be all
:07:57. > :08:00.right. Is the frame something you've been struggling with? You
:08:00. > :08:06.said that sometimes you felt the steps were not going in. They
:08:06. > :08:14.weren't. We've had to go back to the old-fashioned way of calling
:08:14. > :08:19.something old fashioned. We've got braces this week. They were just
:08:19. > :08:25.not going in, the steps. I think the build up of all of the dances,
:08:25. > :08:30.it becomes hard to remember more and more. Your music is this.
:08:30. > :08:34.# Come on, let's stick together. Is it nights to be back in his arms
:08:34. > :08:44.again? It is amazing. You had better put your perfume on
:08:44. > :08:45.
:08:45. > :08:50.tomorrow! I have heard that someone else... He is divine, Artem. It was
:08:50. > :08:59.that Bolero last week. He did it for me. Can't wait to see your
:08:59. > :09:07.tango this week, good luck. Have us Brits, it is classy. Back to the
:09:07. > :09:12.training rooms and time to turn our attention to the first... This week
:09:12. > :09:16.on dancing the foxtrot. But I am nervous about this week -- this one.
:09:16. > :09:22.It is all about technique. You can't fault on your feet or your
:09:22. > :09:27.frame. Is your knee bent? Good. Put your hand on my shoulder. This is
:09:27. > :09:32.hard. He's got to be suave, sophisticated and seamless. He has
:09:32. > :09:38.to get his foot work immaculate. Erin has decided I have to pull up
:09:38. > :09:48.my trousers. There's no escape. That is a great look. I do like a,
:09:48. > :09:49.
:09:49. > :09:55.B Soc, but I stopped short of a full stocking. Good. It is a fund
:09:55. > :10:00.dance, carnivore, party, a lot of steps to learn. I can't do it!
:10:00. > :10:05.Never say can't! The hardest thing about this routine is being very
:10:05. > :10:11.flamboyant with it. I'm not like that. We this dance, it is a matter
:10:11. > :10:17.in -- matter of trying to balance out the Samba steps. Also to have
:10:17. > :10:22.his own natural flow and feel. Trying to let loose and it might in
:10:22. > :10:28.a Latin dance moves come out. got a really sell it, we've got to
:10:28. > :10:34.bring a party on Saturday. This week we are doing the foxtrot.
:10:34. > :10:39.Natalie said it is probably the hardest of the ballroom dancers.
:10:39. > :10:46.Don't tilt. Keep the space. This is all about getting my legs deep into
:10:46. > :10:50.the dance floor. Using more of the thighs whether quickstep was just
:10:50. > :10:55.floating and dancing. He is improving and learning quicker. The
:10:55. > :11:00.more time goes on, the easier it is getting to teach him. Six weeks ago
:11:00. > :11:10.I literally could not do anything. I just think Michael is at his best
:11:10. > :11:12.
:11:12. > :11:19.in hold. I'm more excited about Time to distract the busy as Lady
:11:19. > :11:24.in Television Centre. -- busiest lady. We've had Hollywood, and have
:11:24. > :11:29.a wing, this week good old- fashioned dancing. -- Hallowe'en.
:11:29. > :11:33.Is that easier? In it should be but it hasn't been. Last week Denise
:11:33. > :11:39.had some trouble with her legs. Len was complaining about the length of
:11:39. > :11:42.her skirt with the cha-cha-cha. At what point do you have to take into
:11:42. > :11:45.consideration their technique when you are deciding their dresses?
:11:45. > :11:48.Fifth we look at their training footage through the week and we try
:11:49. > :11:53.to assess how they're getting a long and what we need to do to help
:11:53. > :11:59.them. Sometimes we might give more flair to was girt so there's more
:11:59. > :12:04.movement. I thought Denise looked fantastic. We are looking out for
:12:04. > :12:08.what we can do to assist them. is doing double room this week and
:12:08. > :12:12.she has a lovely long it's good. What can you tell us about it?
:12:12. > :12:17.is very delicate and glamourous. Gold and silver embellishment and
:12:17. > :12:22.it fades down into peppermint. laugh this! Off the shoulder. This
:12:22. > :12:28.is the material. Something confusing, she's doing a Viennese
:12:28. > :12:31.waltz but her dress is designed like a foxtrot dress. Why? It is a
:12:32. > :12:36.slim for lifting line over the hips and then it has a gentle flair.
:12:36. > :12:42.Viennese waltz stresses would generally be the much bigger. --
:12:42. > :12:47.dresses. Much more of a princess dress. She is spinning so much but
:12:47. > :12:52.she made it more slimline. You yes. Danny is doing the jive this week.
:12:53. > :12:57.What's have we got for her? She is wearing a hot pink crystal
:12:57. > :13:07.underbody and then we have a 1950s style dressed nipped in at the
:13:07. > :13:08.
:13:08. > :13:12.waist. A little bit cheeky. P she is cheeky! This is the material. Of
:13:12. > :13:17.also heard a rumour that I may have started that the boys are showing
:13:17. > :13:24.more flesh this week. Yes. Lewis- Smith has requested more flesh on
:13:24. > :13:30.show. Artem is showing an interest in having less garments. Really? He
:13:30. > :13:37.can't wear much less than last week! Mr redressed... This week it
:13:37. > :13:45.is samba. -- a mystery dress. beautiful. Give us some clues.
:13:45. > :13:53.Crystal acts. No more than that. It is stunning. Wardrobe department,
:13:53. > :14:01.well done. Key loads of people. Last weekend was amazing. Keep up
:14:01. > :14:08.the good work. Back to the training rooms. We are dancing a foxtrot.
:14:08. > :14:14.This week is about having fun. I am here to show what I can do so I
:14:14. > :14:19.want to make sure I get better. is great that he feels like he can
:14:19. > :14:23.bring some character to the dance. I've added a bit of choreography.
:14:23. > :14:28.There's a couple of kicks which originally Kristina was doing on
:14:28. > :14:33.her own. I wanted to do one. always thought I could kick the
:14:34. > :14:39.highest and he is kicking even higher than me, unbelievable. I
:14:39. > :14:43.hope those kicks on Saturday night will impress everyone. This week we
:14:43. > :14:49.are dancing the rumba, trying to express your romantic sense will be
:14:49. > :14:54.difficult. I don't have a mask to hide behind this week. The rumba is
:14:54. > :15:01.foreign to him. It seems a bit awkward. Trying to think about a
:15:01. > :15:07.step but also a hip, that is hard. You have to believe in it. Nicky is
:15:07. > :15:13.not a natural spinner. So spinning is not for me. His eyes are crossed.
:15:13. > :15:17.We have to get rid of these acts bins! No. I want those spins in
:15:17. > :15:23.their weather or not he is having a tantrum. He will be spinning on the
:15:23. > :15:27.night. Looking good. Now the return of a much-missed friend. For the
:15:28. > :15:32.past four weeks he's been beavering away in the archives with only a
:15:32. > :15:42.pocket calculator for company working out a organisms for your
:15:42. > :15:51.
:15:51. > :15:57.delectation. P Russell Grant is Please welcome Russell Grant! We
:15:57. > :16:03.have missed you. So excited to have you back. Or you laughing this
:16:03. > :16:12.year? Yes. I'm enjoying every bit of it. Any favourite performances?
:16:12. > :16:21.Yes. Those two, their jive. Denise and James. She is not bad!
:16:21. > :16:27.quickstep last week. For Michael. And Natalie. And Flavia. Is it hard
:16:27. > :16:37.to see you -- her in the arms of another man? And not really! She is
:16:37. > :16:42.my stage daughter. I'm getting the relationships confused! Hours is a
:16:42. > :16:47.very simple relationship. We love each other. Strictly facts. What
:16:47. > :16:54.have you found? Let's start with the training hours, every one
:16:54. > :16:59.wonders how long people trained for. For this week only, up to yesterday,
:16:59. > :17:07.Michael Vaughan, 26 hours. Impressive stuff. Who is about to
:17:07. > :17:13.be relegated? Denise with 16! have you been doing? She wants a
:17:13. > :17:21.recount! He but her turn is coming. If we go back over the whole series
:17:21. > :17:31.so far, Michael is still way in the lead with 197.5, but look at Denise.
:17:31. > :17:32.
:17:32. > :17:36.It's all right! Who is at the bottom? She is still brilliant.
:17:36. > :17:41.You've been digging deeper into the archives of Strictly Come Dancing.
:17:41. > :17:47.What are your findings? I've been going through the Strictly history
:17:47. > :17:51.and it tells us about the class of 2012. And who might come out on top.
:17:51. > :17:56.Shall we start by looking at all the participants up to series nine?
:17:56. > :18:04.How many have we had? celebrities. We remember all of
:18:04. > :18:11.them. Are you ready? 40 actors, 25 broadcasters and presenters, 23
:18:11. > :18:21.sports stars, 12 musicians, five models, two MPs, two chefs, one
:18:21. > :18:21.
:18:21. > :18:28.Gardner, one astrologer! missing. A Nancy! We didn't know
:18:28. > :18:36.where to put her. She will love that. Which profession has been
:18:36. > :18:46.most successful? None of this lot. She aimed for the MPs. Me, Nancy,
:18:46. > :18:46.
:18:46. > :18:51.we've all had it. That's it. It is all about this lot. The actors,
:18:51. > :18:55.presenters, sports people. Statistically speaking, who do you
:18:55. > :19:01.think from this year could go all the way? We can see from this graph
:19:01. > :19:07.that following professions have lifted the trophy. Actors, the most
:19:08. > :19:14.successful group. Je Leigh Halfpenny, Tom, Kara Tointon, two
:19:14. > :19:24.presenters. -- Je Leigh Halfpenny. Two sports stars, Darren Barr and
:19:24. > :19:24.
:19:24. > :19:30.Mark Ramprakash. Cricketers. Musicians. Alesha and Harry. That's
:19:30. > :19:34.fine. Take all of that away with us, what about age? Does it make a
:19:34. > :19:42.difference? The thing we need to take note of in that previous batch
:19:42. > :19:46.with Jerry Hall now gone... No ever forgotten. -- never forgotten.
:19:46. > :19:51.does mean our winner will be in the group we've just seen. For
:19:51. > :19:59.following professions have done what they've done and now we've got
:19:59. > :20:04.the ages. They've all been between 20 and 30 -- 20s and 30s. They have
:20:04. > :20:10.lifted the trophy. What a fine bunch! All things considered, who
:20:10. > :20:14.could end up on top this year? Statistically speaking. If we take
:20:14. > :20:20.the professions and the ages, and we know thirtysomethings have done
:20:20. > :20:26.it, we have one person who we need to look out for. Here she is.
:20:26. > :20:32.Riley! One to watch. But the musicians have done well, too. As
:20:32. > :20:39.they are both in their thirties, look at Kimberley and Nicky. Also,
:20:39. > :20:49.presenters Denise and sports star. The right pages. Doesn't she look
:20:49. > :20:50.
:20:50. > :20:54.good for 38! She looks fabulous. I've had a lot of surgery!
:20:54. > :21:04.cricketers in their thirties have won. He is another one, Michael.
:21:04. > :21:11.
:21:11. > :21:21.Looking at the archives, week four, has anyone from week four gone on
:21:21. > :21:29.to win? Natasha, Jill and mark. With scores like that in week four,
:21:29. > :21:39.35, 34, 35. Is that their wages or their schools? That is their
:21:39. > :21:42.
:21:42. > :21:49.schools I think it. A special mention to Chris. He only
:21:49. > :21:55.scored 25 with his salsa but look what happened. So Colin. Anybody
:21:55. > :22:02.peak too soon in week four, Russell. Do you know, I really wish you
:22:02. > :22:10.hadn't asked me back. The reason is as follows. The highest ever score
:22:10. > :22:20.recorded his 36 at Wijk four. Mat and Chelsea. -- a week four. And
:22:20. > :22:22.
:22:22. > :22:28.She was good. She was robbed! lesson for us all, never ever
:22:28. > :22:34.peaked prematurely. Thank you very much, Russell Grant! You are
:22:34. > :22:41.amazing. So lovely to have you back. Now time to head back to the
:22:41. > :22:51.training room to find out how the last of the girls have been doing.
:22:51. > :22:52.
:22:52. > :22:58.We are doing pasa doble which I am very excited about. I like the
:22:58. > :23:03.drama, I like the foot stamping. I like having to look fierce. If we
:23:03. > :23:07.can manage to attack every single step, it will be great.
:23:07. > :23:13.challenging bits are being dragged around the floor. Don't tell him
:23:13. > :23:23.that my hips are hurting. By Saturday, I will either be pain-
:23:23. > :23:26.
:23:26. > :23:31.This week we are doing the jive which I am so excited about. It is
:23:31. > :23:36.one of my favourite dancers. In my opinion it will be one of her best
:23:36. > :23:42.dancers because it works very well for little people. We have got a
:23:42. > :23:47.lot of kicks in this jive and they are not easy at all. It is so fast
:23:47. > :23:56.and confusing. You know where I said this could be heard dance,
:23:56. > :24:01.scrap it. To the think it will be The judges will be staring at my
:24:01. > :24:05.feet the entire time. As long as they get them nice and sharp, I'll
:24:05. > :24:12.be OK. This week we are stars and the Viennese waltz which I am very
:24:12. > :24:19.excited about. -- we are dancing of the Viennese waltz. I do get dizzy
:24:19. > :24:27.because I have been spending so much. The Viennese waltz rotates
:24:27. > :24:33.continuously around the floor. I have put a routine together wit and
:24:34. > :24:37.-- which rotates continuously. Sometimes I am spinning so much I
:24:37. > :24:44.am literally seeing stars. That is something I have to work, and
:24:44. > :24:49.hopefully get used to buy Saturday. Is it is making me dizzy! Please
:24:49. > :24:58.welcome my final guests, Denise and James. First of all, you want a
:24:58. > :25:05.recount, because her -- training hours are not right. 24 this week.
:25:05. > :25:10.That has not included today. much did you enjoy the Halloween
:25:10. > :25:18.show and your cha-cha-cha. enjoyed the show, brilliant. It
:25:18. > :25:26.could have been much better. Can I mention the first pit? You have
:25:26. > :25:31.been mentioning it all week! I love the fact you are an amazing dancer
:25:31. > :25:37.but even you can be a klutz. Let's have a look in slow motion at the
:25:37. > :25:41.knees's entrance on the dance floor. If you can see she is so angry.
:25:41. > :25:46.the rehearsal and dress rehearsal I tripped and James said, whatever
:25:46. > :25:51.you do, do not trip on the live show and I said I would not. Look
:25:51. > :25:57.what happened. He went on to do what we thought was a brilliant
:25:57. > :26:01.cha-cha-cha. Can I say, every girl watching the show, we all want your
:26:01. > :26:09.legs. They are incredible. Who would have thought they could get
:26:09. > :26:15.you into so much trouble. They were so exposed. Affair, and from then.
:26:15. > :26:23.But to learn the cha-cha-cha in four days and master the technique
:26:23. > :26:33.is really difficult. Next time, a long dress. And Knowsley Park. Last
:26:33. > :26:37.
:26:37. > :26:42.week, Vincent got a bit of stick. Have a look at this. That is scary.
:26:42. > :26:48.Everybody was saying you were looking like Tom Jones. He has more
:26:48. > :26:52.hair than me which is worrying. went to the top of the leaderboard,
:26:52. > :26:57.was it a disappointment or does it take the pressure of? I think it
:26:57. > :27:00.takes the pressure off. It is impossible to stay at the top of
:27:01. > :27:06.the leaderboard. This year, the standard is so high. There are so
:27:06. > :27:10.many great dancers, more so than any other year. I know we said that
:27:10. > :27:14.every year but this year the standard is rare high. It makes you
:27:14. > :27:18.work harder. You have gone back into the ballroom this week and you
:27:18. > :27:26.were doing the Viennese waltz. You are falling in love with it. I like
:27:26. > :27:34.it. When I get it right, I love it. Your posture was dodgy there.
:27:34. > :27:40.never stops! I suppose that is his thing. Week think you have to do a
:27:40. > :27:47.bit of work on being ladylike. Denise is a true Essex girls
:27:47. > :27:53.through and through and she does not really disgraceful that well.
:27:53. > :28:01.think I can do graceful. My knickers have gone up my bum! I am
:28:01. > :28:10.not like a geyser bird. I have been trying to get her elegant her. I
:28:10. > :28:19.turn round and she is raising. No, Denise, no. I will try and be a bit
:28:19. > :28:29.more elegant. I do not know if it is working or not? You did a snort.
:28:29. > :28:30.
:28:30. > :28:37.You have still got the Essex in the. I love your snorting! This is the
:28:37. > :28:44.music, it will be so romantic. Hughes scored 441 of your Viennese
:28:44. > :28:48.waltz. But Hannah was good. Stock it! Do you have to put up with this
:28:48. > :28:54.all week? Are I'm going to vote myself out so I can go on holiday
:28:54. > :29:01.and get away from it. Are you confident? We will see. What do you
:29:01. > :29:08.think? I think so. It is a tough routine but she can do it. Denise
