:00:09. > :00:13.Hello and welcome to It Takes Two. It's Monday and I've got a great
:00:14. > :00:19.line-up for you. First up, goodbye to the ballroom, boo, and back to
:00:20. > :00:26.the board room. Deborah and Robin are here. No tears, please. They
:00:27. > :00:31.quickstepped their way into the next week, Ben and Kristina are here. And
:00:32. > :00:33.they had speed and energy, Ashley and Ola will tell us all about it.
:00:34. > :01:20.This is Strictly, It Takes Two. Live from London, this is Strictly
:01:21. > :01:27.It Takes Two. Please welcome your host, Zoe Ball.
:01:28. > :01:35.Oh, hello and welcome to it Takes Two. You may be wondering where is
:01:36. > :01:40.Mr Revel Horwood? We thought we'd give him a day off after Saturday
:01:41. > :01:44.night but he's sent us this lovely little message. Sorry, darlings, I
:01:45. > :01:48.can't be with you, Ashley and Ola been told under strict instructions
:01:49. > :01:55.by my doctor to rest up. Hips aren't what they used to be and now darling
:01:56. > :02:03.I've made of titanium. As you can see, from my wonderful ensemble, I
:02:04. > :02:08.do need rest! But, keep dancing, darling!
:02:09. > :02:14.Give it up for Craig! In the care home! See you next week, darling.
:02:15. > :02:19.Moving, it was another week of dancing delight, but for Deborah and
:02:20. > :02:22.Robin it was time to say farewell. Everyone's very sad here.
:02:23. > :02:28.I'll be talking to them in a minute, but for those who dare to miss the
:02:29. > :02:32.action, where were you? Here are the headlines.
:02:33. > :02:36.Thank you very much. Good evening. Here is the news. It was party time
:02:37. > :02:42.with Tess as Anton finally found himself with not one but two 8s from
:02:43. > :02:58.the judges on Saturday. I think he was a bit pleased. Pf
:02:59. > :03:07.Woo! As she prepared herself for her fierce paso doble, Rachel asked for
:03:08. > :03:26.some last-minute tips from the majestic bona fide Mata Dr.
:03:27. > :03:30.You have to go face down... You never tire of seeing that face.
:03:31. > :03:38.It wasn't so Smiley Riley after she failed to impress the judges.
:03:39. > :03:44.There were balance issues with a bit of dissolving of things.
:03:45. > :03:51.Unfortunately, this wasn't a dance that suits your personality. You are
:03:52. > :03:58.a nice girl, but forget about nice, come in and fight for your place on
:03:59. > :04:02.Strictly, go for it! Those were the Strictly headlines, I
:04:03. > :04:07.thank you, good night. Come here. In case that still wasn't
:04:08. > :04:10.enough gossip for you, here is what went on behind-the-scenes on
:04:11. > :04:24.Saturday night. Good morning. Show time. Week five!
:04:25. > :04:40.Look at my face. I'm excited. All bum and bongo, yes, please.
:04:41. > :04:49.I find that I watch the show and I forget I have to get up and dance, I
:04:50. > :04:53.find myself enjoying it and then I think, oh, when is it my turn, then
:04:54. > :04:57.you get that cold feeling and go, golly, I'm up in three songs.
:04:58. > :05:03.Dancing with the desk which is going to be a in Strictly history which
:05:04. > :05:10.could be kind of cool. Here I am again. Caged. Story of my life. Bad,
:05:11. > :05:18.bad dancer. This is going to work on the night
:05:19. > :05:27.isn't it? ! There we go. I need to hold it... I have a guitar, I'm
:05:28. > :05:35.going to play a lil song for you right now, called Johnny Be Good,
:05:36. > :05:41.it's gonna be nice, it's gonna be my time.
:05:42. > :05:47.I have got massive bruises on my legs. We are colouring them in! I've
:05:48. > :05:54.got a nice big quiff going on, as you can see. Massive boil there,
:05:55. > :06:03.look. Trying to cover up that bad boy, look. Behind-the-scenes. Hi.
:06:04. > :06:10.You are not supposed to be in here, there's lots of nakedness going on
:06:11. > :06:15.and... I'm shy. How am I going to remember to turn? Smile and turn,
:06:16. > :06:24.smile and turn. I'm like a small child who can't handle my own
:06:25. > :06:28.clothes now. I was just shaking my tail feather.
:06:29. > :06:34.Ruffles, ruffles! Doesn't get any better. Couldn't tell us apart,
:06:35. > :06:38.could you? It's uncanny. Still having tea. Love my tea. Five
:06:39. > :06:43.minutes, guys, five minutes until show time, guys, thank you, ladies
:06:44. > :06:49.and gents. Rachel, stop flirting, get in the zone. One, two, one, two,
:06:50. > :06:56.one, two... Don't tell a soul what I've just nicked out of the Star Bar
:06:57. > :07:06.place. Look. I know. I'm naughty, but I like them!
:07:07. > :07:15.Show time! Oh, yeah. Feeling really nervous. Fingers crossed. We are all
:07:16. > :07:27.ready to go. Have a lovely, lovely time.
:07:28. > :07:37.It's nice to see you, to see you... Nice.
:07:38. > :07:41.They stepped up to the table, but their Viennese waltz was not enough
:07:42. > :07:46.for the judges sadly. It's the fourth eliminated couple. Double the
:07:47. > :07:52.applause, please, for Deborah and Robin. Hello, so didn't want to see
:07:53. > :07:56.you guys here. There has been great sadness across the nation at your
:07:57. > :08:00.leaving this competition. A lot of sadness in here as well to be
:08:01. > :08:05.perfectly honest. The tissues are ready for when we need them. How was
:08:06. > :08:10.the last waltz out on the floor for you, Deborah? The only good thing
:08:11. > :08:15.about a dance-off is, you kind of know it's going to be your last one
:08:16. > :08:19.possibly so I just enjoyed it. That was the only good thing, thinking,
:08:20. > :08:25.I'm just going to have my last dance with my wonderful dance partner. I
:08:26. > :08:29.enjoyed it. Robin, the judges said they didn't like the table bit. I
:08:30. > :08:33.thought it was clever actually. Do you think that played against you at
:08:34. > :08:37.all or do you think it was the fact that not enough people picked up the
:08:38. > :08:40.phone? Not at all. The table I thought was very clever. Deborah was
:08:41. > :08:43.still going Viennese waltz throughout the timing that we were
:08:44. > :08:49.using the table and it worked perfectly from the number we were
:08:50. > :08:53.trying to create. It made me feel good and I think what Robin did was
:08:54. > :08:58.kind of understand what made me a better dancer. That's what was good
:08:59. > :09:04.about it. Also it was the story, the board room and you are a Dragon.
:09:05. > :09:07.Tasha is amongst millions and says, my Shah literally breaking for
:09:08. > :09:16.Deborah, it's the saddest moment on Strictly for all-time ever. Sorry,
:09:17. > :09:21.bring it back up, Smiley faces! Were you surprised to see yourself in the
:09:22. > :09:25.dance-off? It's that terrible mid position place isn't it? We were in
:09:26. > :09:30.an unsafe place on the leaderboard. Week five somebody goes home always
:09:31. > :09:35.that's unexpected. We were fifth from bottom and people thought we
:09:36. > :09:39.were safe. My mum didn't vote because she thought we were safe. My
:09:40. > :09:43.sister didn't vote. They didn't vote. Let this be a lesson to you,
:09:44. > :09:47.lain, you have to vote for your favourites otherwise this happens.
:09:48. > :09:53.It's frustrating because last week you'd had your jive, then you go up
:09:54. > :09:58.to 27. Great score, making it even more disappointing. It does but I
:09:59. > :10:03.would have hated to have gone out on the jive because I didn't enjoy it.
:10:04. > :10:07.It wasn't my best dance and I enjoyed this and it's a dance that I
:10:08. > :10:12.look at and I'm proud of. It's awful, but it's not a bad way to go.
:10:13. > :10:19.We'll have a little rest from grilling you and have a look at your
:10:20. > :10:25.Strictly story. You are going to do business with Robin! I got the
:10:26. > :10:30.perfect partner. I adore Robin. Having fun. She's a lovely person,
:10:31. > :10:35.full of joy, not the woman everyone imagine hearse to be on Dragons'
:10:36. > :10:43.Den. Chuffed. I'm chuffed, you are chuffed. There is so much to
:10:44. > :10:51.remember. I so nearly got it. Got a huge way to go. You thought it was a
:10:52. > :10:56.very good pitch from the dragon. Gave it plenty of snap, crackle and
:10:57. > :10:59.pop. Messed it up in the middle. Could have done that better. That
:11:00. > :11:06.doesn't mean to say I didn't love it because I had the best time.
:11:07. > :11:15.I can see Deborah's loving it so, so much. Brilliant. God, Good, good,
:11:16. > :11:18.good. You have taken a straight laced business woman who doesn't do
:11:19. > :11:25.anything like this to twirl her hands around the place. Dragon v
:11:26. > :11:28.drag Queen, darling, be careful. I presumed he was talking about
:11:29. > :11:37.himself. I assumed you were enjoying it. It was a joy to watch. I know I
:11:38. > :11:46.can do better. I keep bursting into giggles I'm having such a good time.
:11:47. > :11:51.That's how to train a dragon! I love the pleasure you get from
:11:52. > :11:59.dancing, it's fabulous. Your best dance yet, my lovely. Well done!
:12:00. > :12:05.Swim, swim, swim... You got issues when I get close. She doesn't like
:12:06. > :12:12.to look in my eyes when we are dancing. She gets a bit shy, bless.
:12:13. > :12:18.That's close. I made Deborah blush. The kicks are very, very lame. Not
:12:19. > :12:22.your dance. You did fantastic. No technique but lots of welly. I'm
:12:23. > :12:25.having a wonderful experience with Strictly and Robin is creating that
:12:26. > :12:32.for me. He's found something in me that I had absolutely no idea I had.
:12:33. > :12:36.Ive very special friendship and I couldn't ask to be dancing with
:12:37. > :12:43.anybody else. You did well, an improvement on last week, so well
:12:44. > :12:47.done. Patrick and Anya. Patrick and Anya. Patrick and Anya. I want to
:12:48. > :12:51.say, it's been the most amazing experience, I've got a friend for
:12:52. > :12:55.life and I'm never going to stop dancing, I'll always be there for
:12:56. > :12:59.you. You have made this a very amazing time for me and I'm now a
:13:00. > :13:03.country boy, as well as a city boy so I love you for that, you are
:13:04. > :13:06.incredibly amazing and thank you for making this wonderful.
:13:07. > :13:10.Awww... You are doing very well. Can I say
:13:11. > :13:16.both of you, help yourself to a tissue. No, no, no, the dragon does
:13:17. > :13:21.not want to do that on the telly, no! Are you going to go straight
:13:22. > :13:25.back to work? No, I'm stalking him for the rest of my life. I have ten
:13:26. > :13:30.dances to learn. He promise manied he was going to teach me them on
:13:31. > :13:34.national television. You should sneak back on the floor? We are
:13:35. > :13:40.going to rehearse the foxtrot nor week anyway. Will you be inundated
:13:41. > :13:49.with investment requests for dance related investments do you think?
:13:50. > :13:54.I'm not open for business, no. You have until Christmas, remember. I'm
:13:55. > :14:01.busy until Christmas, yes. How have the other celebrities reacted? You
:14:02. > :14:03.have been a great mother hen and keeping up everyone's spirits.
:14:04. > :14:07.Everyone loves you. You promised you weren't going to be nice. Yes,
:14:08. > :14:13.sorry, I'm supposed to be tough. They have been amazing, I've had the
:14:14. > :14:17.most wonderful texts and phone calls, people have been lovely. What
:14:18. > :14:21.Strictly is all about. We must talk about your lovely husband as well
:14:22. > :14:29.because he sent you flowers every week and sent you some that related
:14:30. > :14:36.to the dance each time. My husband sent me some today, you've started
:14:37. > :14:42.something off. What's your husband been dog while you have been doing
:14:43. > :14:51.this? He's been taking dance lessons. He had to go out this
:14:52. > :14:55.morning at 11 o'clock to meet Letitia. He's learning ballroom
:14:56. > :15:00.dancing. That's absolutely wonderful. So he'll be able to dance
:15:01. > :15:05.with you as well. That's such a lovely story. Who is your investment
:15:06. > :15:11.in for the final? Who do you want to see out of your friend lift the
:15:12. > :15:14.trophy? It's really hard. I love the way Sophie's dancing and she's
:15:15. > :15:17.getting better and doing some dances that actually I think everybody
:15:18. > :15:21.thought would be difficult for her and she's doing them beautifully.
:15:22. > :15:26.That charleston is a winning dance on its own. Amazing. We have loved
:15:27. > :15:29.having you on the show. The partnership has been amazing, we are
:15:30. > :15:38.going to miss you an awful lot. Deborah and Robin, we love you.
:15:39. > :15:43.Thank you. 199 celebrities have taken to the Strictly dance floor
:15:44. > :15:44.since 2004, including the Christmas specials in case you are wondering,
:15:45. > :16:18.but tell me who this is? Find out later if you got it right.
:16:19. > :16:25.Last week, the judges asked him for some more oomph and that's what they
:16:26. > :16:31.got. Ashley and Ola's rocking and rolling on Saturday night - here it
:16:32. > :16:37.comes. It was brilliant. I loved the energy. All the way through you kept
:16:38. > :16:43.it up and that's what we need. Was it Elvis or Shakin' Stevens? Not
:16:44. > :16:47.really sure, but you've got the feel absolutely right. Jive you've got to
:16:48. > :16:51.be aware that you do have feet, darling, at the end of those legs.
:16:52. > :16:59.They need pointing and working on, but I did love it.
:17:00. > :17:06.I love to jive, I just love it. Can't point in these shoes, sorry,
:17:07. > :17:11.you cannot point in them. So we are blaming the shoes. I blame the
:17:12. > :17:17.shoes. I was just told what to do so whose fault is it? I don't know.
:17:18. > :17:23.Please welcome Ashley and Ola. Hello, you clever rock'n'rollers.
:17:24. > :17:27.That was super. Proper, proper injection of energy, we loved it.
:17:28. > :17:32.You enjoyed dancing it, the first time, you said? I finally enjoyed
:17:33. > :17:36.dancing, yes. It was just a fun song and the jive is so quick, there's
:17:37. > :17:43.nowhere to hide so I thought I would go for it and made loads of steps up
:17:44. > :17:48.as well. He was less nervous so enjoyed it more. How much did he
:17:49. > :17:54.make up that you were aware of? Quite a lot, but I wasn't going to
:17:55. > :18:01.mention that. You scored 31, again was it for the third week running
:18:02. > :18:06.which is your age, weird. Were you thinking, come on, one extra point?
:18:07. > :18:10.Well, we want to get better every week but were happy with the points
:18:11. > :18:16.and the way we were performing on Saturday night. We are improving and
:18:17. > :18:21.getting better, aren't we? She says "we" It's team work. Darcey said you
:18:22. > :18:24.need to point your feet a bit more. We have been discussing this. You
:18:25. > :18:31.were saying it was the shoes because they curled up. Can you point those?
:18:32. > :18:36.Is that pointing? I see what you mean. Point your toe down. Let's
:18:37. > :18:47.have a look. They are like boots. Look, pointy toes, look! We did work
:18:48. > :18:53.on the footwork. Len said you need to work on technique but you
:18:54. > :19:00.obviously have been? We do. His feet are very big. So we work on the feet
:19:01. > :19:05.and the arms. OK. You've been a very good boy! Thank you. Heather says
:19:06. > :19:10.online that made me tired watching it. Is it hard to focus on footwork
:19:11. > :19:15.when you have got to keep up? It's such a speedy dance with so much to
:19:16. > :19:19.remember as well? Yes, it's a fast dance, but the first one felt like I
:19:20. > :19:23.was in the zone doing it, well, not in the zone because it wasn't like
:19:24. > :19:27.good, but I enjoyed it and knew the steps. When you are doing it
:19:28. > :19:31.together, when I looked ATOL loo, the whole thing made me smile so
:19:32. > :19:36.that took the nerves away so I could just enjoy it. He's got it, Ola,
:19:37. > :19:43.he's got it, this is good, hang on to this, yes! Then Len said, lots of
:19:44. > :19:51.goodjah which I don't know what that means? It means good, yes. We have
:19:52. > :19:57.seen your child-like nature in the training room. It's all been getting
:19:58. > :20:04.to you a little bit. How old are you, Ashley? 31 Sure? Yes, going on
:20:05. > :20:12.58. Getting proper twinges in my ankle. Where does it hurt?
:20:13. > :20:23.Everywhere. Urghles Is your leg sore? Yes. Do you want a cuddle?
:20:24. > :20:31.Yes. That really hurts. Argh... Get up. I will.
:20:32. > :20:43.Come on, let's have a cup of tea. This Is Nice. Cheers. Cheers, chuck.
:20:44. > :20:46.All right there, grandpa! Bless you. I'm not surprised you are aching
:20:47. > :20:49.like that, the jive is tough going and you are doing things to your
:20:50. > :20:54.body that you have never done before? At night-time until after
:20:55. > :20:59.midnight. After you have been filming all day, yes. Had my first
:21:00. > :21:04.sports massage, awful but great. It kills, doesn't it? Yes, the worst
:21:05. > :21:07.pain I ever felt. We are chuffed to bits, we have made it, ladies and
:21:08. > :21:14.gentlemen, into the gossip magazines. Have a look at this
:21:15. > :21:19.picture. Aww, there is baby Mason. Vote for daddy. Where did you get
:21:20. > :21:25.that top? This wonderful lady in this beautiful show, they got it for
:21:26. > :21:32.me. How is baby Mason, by the way? I don't know, I've never seen him. No,
:21:33. > :21:37.he's brilliant. I got to hold him as well. He's lovely. You will be
:21:38. > :21:41.getting broody. No, no. Hello! This week it's Halloween and you
:21:42. > :21:46.guys have got the tan go. I think a really good dance. You haven't done
:21:47. > :21:52.any training yet but don't panic, still four days to go. What have you
:21:53. > :21:55.got planned, Ola? Lots of dancing, lots of steps, character, we have to
:21:56. > :21:59.get into the character. It's Halloween week this week so we are
:22:00. > :22:03.looking forward to the tango, aren't we? Yes, it's a good one for
:22:04. > :22:10.Halloween, very strong. He's going to be good, yes. I'm going to be a
:22:11. > :22:15.monster. Don't give away too much. How is James Jordan, by the way?
:22:16. > :22:20.Very exciting to see the return of shimmy Jimmy Jordan on Earth Wind
:22:21. > :22:25.and Fire last week. How is he coping without you? I think he's all right.
:22:26. > :22:31.He's good. He rings every day, doesn't know how to make a jacket
:22:32. > :22:42.potato or bakes beaned? I'm never at home, bless him. You heard it here
:22:43. > :22:51.first! Get it together, lad. I think Karen does it for you though? ! No,
:22:52. > :22:55.no. It's Ola and Ashley! Thank you. Earlier, I asked you to guess who
:22:56. > :23:08.the mystery celebrity dancer was. Let's see if you got it right.
:23:09. > :23:19.I took part in 2007 and adanced with Anton Du Beke. You guessed it, it's
:23:20. > :23:23.me, Kate Garraway. If you guessed it was the lovely
:23:24. > :23:34.Kate, you can have an traex biscuit. We saw popcorn pillow fights and a
:23:35. > :23:46.strange offer of a pizza on Saturday night -- extra biscuit. I loved your
:23:47. > :23:53.face, it was an absolute picture. Next week, make it harder. You have
:23:54. > :23:56.been teasing us for weeks with your ability. Now we want The Full Monty,
:23:57. > :24:13.my darling. Good job. Don't feel too bad. Really
:24:14. > :24:21.chuffed with it. I'm not downbeat, it's a good score.
:24:22. > :24:24.So cool. Please welcome Ben and Kristina.
:24:25. > :24:28.Well done, guys on Saturday night. Craig loved that face. How could
:24:29. > :24:39.anyone not love that face? ! The audience loved the dance. How loved
:24:40. > :24:53.up were you after that? Did you like your dance? How was it for you?
:24:54. > :24:58.Actually, it's such a hard dance to learn and I was so happy that I got
:24:59. > :25:04.it right. I got every sort of footwork in place and timing and
:25:05. > :25:10.stuff. That's what I was more elated about.
:25:11. > :25:16.Christina, how pleased - so glad we got to the end of that question -
:25:17. > :25:20.how pleased were you with Ben after his performance on Saturday? I said
:25:21. > :25:25.every single week here I'm so proud of him but I am because he works
:25:26. > :25:28.extremely hard. It was not a very easy dance I think for you and I saw
:25:29. > :25:33.him frustrated with himself for the very first time ever. He was like,
:25:34. > :25:39.oh, come on, Ben, do it, do it, do it. It was a tough dance. The
:25:40. > :25:42.quickstep is difficult. So many basic steps were done really
:25:43. > :25:47.amazingly all the way through so I'm really, really proud of you. That is
:25:48. > :25:51.a relief. You got the same score as Deborah and Robin. How worried were
:25:52. > :25:54.you that you might have been in the bottom two, because obviously at
:25:55. > :25:57.this point it could have been anyone and how happy were you that the
:25:58. > :26:03.public saved you you? I think it went down to the wire wasn't it? I
:26:04. > :26:07.was very nervous. Never been in that position before and it was
:26:08. > :26:11.nerve-racking. I don't want it to happen again. It's inevitable that
:26:12. > :26:17.we'll be down there at one point but it was nerve-racking. But you coped.
:26:18. > :26:20.Darcey did say that you are very light on your feet, she was very
:26:21. > :26:25.pleased with you. We were laughing at the fact that she wanted to make
:26:26. > :26:29.it harder. But had you worked on his footwork last week? Actually, he
:26:30. > :26:34.learned the patterns of the quickstep really fast because
:26:35. > :26:41.there's a similarity with the rugby warm-ups. Who'd have thought that? !
:26:42. > :26:46.Then we started dancing to music and then... It was challenging. It was
:26:47. > :26:52.difficult, the transitions from one step to another. We did lots of
:26:53. > :26:56.basic steps so it was a tough dance. OK. And the thing is, you are very
:26:57. > :27:03.light on your feet, but the good news is, you haven't let go of the
:27:04. > :27:21.tough guy yet. Check this out. Going to war! Stamp my feet.
:27:22. > :27:28.I'm not heavy handed at all. You are squeezing me too much. You don't
:27:29. > :27:37.have to. Hips. You are squeezing me so hard it's numbing by arm. -- my
:27:38. > :27:44.arm. Argh... I've just squashed the chocolate. No-one wants squashed
:27:45. > :27:49.chocolate. This week it's paso doble for you
:27:50. > :27:55.guys, it's Halloween and Darcey said she wants Kristina to make it even
:27:56. > :28:01.more complicated. How much of a nightmare will it be for you, Ben?
:28:02. > :28:05.Definitely it will be a nightmare. Have you practiced anything yet?
:28:06. > :28:12.Just a bit today, yes. It's all good. Last time we saw Kristina do
:28:13. > :28:19.the paso doble, John Sergeant dragged you across the familiar. It
:28:20. > :28:25.was an iconic moment. How different will it be this time? What have you
:28:26. > :28:30.got planned for Ben? It will be different. Maybe you could pull him
:28:31. > :28:43.across the familiar. Are you happy with his progress though? I'm so
:28:44. > :28:49.impressed. He works really hard. Good luck with that. It will be
:28:50. > :28:54.brilliant. Ben and Kristina! That sit for today. Thanks to all my
:28:55. > :29:00.guests. Back tomorrow at 6. 30, when Fiona, Anton and Mark and Yvette
:29:01. > :29:01.will be passing by. Karen Hardy is back for choreography corner too.
:29:02. > :29:03.Good night.
