:00:16. > :00:17.partner Anya are here. CHEERING They've just about
:00:18. > :00:20.recovered from Saturday's bloodthirsty jive. Here to talk
:00:21. > :00:25.kicks and flicks are Sophie and Brendan.
:00:26. > :00:28.CHEERING And sadly no pumpkin costume this week. Just Ian and his
:00:29. > :00:32.trusty wand for another Wednesday Warm Up.
:00:33. > :01:27.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Cheer This is Strictly It Takes Two.
:01:28. > :01:32.CHEERING Well hello gorgeous. Welcome to
:01:33. > :01:37.Wednesday's It Takes Two, with the weekend edging closer it is time for
:01:38. > :01:42.an ex-Clive first peek at the dancefloor clients we can expect on
:01:43. > :01:49.Saturday night. I can feel a Wednesday warm-up coming on.
:01:50. > :01:58.Please welcome the housewives' favourite, Ian Waite!
:01:59. > :02:02.CHEERING They have done a poll and it is all true. Let's look back to
:02:03. > :02:06.last week. Hallowe'en, what did you make of the whole show? I loved the
:02:07. > :02:11.show. I thought that all the make-up and the costuming was fantastic.
:02:12. > :02:17.Incredible. A big round of applause for that. Good work. And I liked all
:02:18. > :02:17.the story lines but it will be great this
:02:18. > :02:39.the story lines but it will be great fifth or sixth week. It is a good
:02:40. > :02:44.reminder that you have to get behind your favourites and pick up the
:02:45. > :02:51.phone. You do. Following on from what Karen hardy said was a
:02:52. > :02:55.faultless Charleston Susanna and Kevin have a waltz. What I would
:02:56. > :02:59.like to see is her controlling the rise and fall a little bit more.
:03:00. > :03:04.When she's lowering, she needs to make that nice and smooth and get a
:03:05. > :03:11.little deep interthe lowering. But what I wanted to do was first of all
:03:12. > :03:18.circle this area here. As you can seekers as she's going into this --
:03:19. > :03:24.as you can see, as she is going into this pivot she is lowering her
:03:25. > :03:26.shoulders. If she lifts that shoulder it will get shorter on this
:03:27. > :03:47.side. She needs to shoulder it will get shorter on this
:03:48. > :03:51.takes on the part of matador. She is an actress so all the
:03:52. > :03:56.characterisation of the paso doble she should have. I've stopped it
:03:57. > :04:01.here. I want you to look at the arms. We know what's coming.
:04:02. > :04:06.Sometimes they go a little narrow. She needs to maintain the strength.
:04:07. > :04:11.It is like the Flamenco dancers, they have this air around them all
:04:12. > :04:17.the time, no matter what they are doing. Do try keep that. I do like
:04:18. > :04:25.Anton's longer hair this week. The way it wafts into his eyes is quite
:04:26. > :04:29.saucy. Abbey and Aljaz, the Charleston, what is not to love? I
:04:30. > :04:36.think this is going to be the dance of the night. Mark my words. It is
:04:37. > :04:54.going to be a comeback for them. They are doing
:04:55. > :04:58.going to be a comeback for them. That's so cute. That's what we used
:04:59. > :05:02.to do. Natalie and Artem has not had a bad dance yet, this week they are
:05:03. > :05:08.doing the jive. This looks quite impressive. I think this is going to
:05:09. > :05:12.be another fantastic dance for her. She's got the flicking action. I
:05:13. > :05:20.particularly like this step... What's that called? I don't know,
:05:21. > :05:31.it's a lasso sort of step. Shall we have a go? O Lord. You go around,
:05:32. > :05:37.round you go. Sorry everyone. Oh Lord I should have worn a vest. I do
:05:38. > :05:42.apologise. That was a disaster wasn't it! The only thing she's got
:05:43. > :05:46.work on this week is might compact. Which means? When she does her
:05:47. > :06:05.flicks and kicks they Which means? When she does her
:06:06. > :06:11.dance. What do you think? I love this use of chairography there. It
:06:12. > :06:16.is a chair. They are using a chair. I think this, this will really suit
:06:17. > :06:21.Sophie. The characterisation and the character of the dance I think will
:06:22. > :06:24.really suit her. It is going to be a passionate and steamy dance, I can
:06:25. > :06:33.see that. I think there might be a lot of these going on. Whizz-bangs!
:06:34. > :06:39.Fireworks. My dog was going mad last night. What did the dog think of the
:06:40. > :06:42.show? He loved it. Thank you very much Ian Waite!
:06:43. > :06:46.CHEERING We will of course be talking about the boys later on.
:06:47. > :06:52.While there was no murder on the dancefloor - they made me say it!
:06:53. > :06:56.There was blood after Sophie got her claws into Brendan. Here's a
:06:57. > :07:14.reminder of their jive. Your knees all the
:07:15. > :07:16.reminder of their jive. Your knees there and attack it;; Your kicks and
:07:17. > :07:22.flicks have to be on the beat. You have really point your feet and your
:07:23. > :07:29.timing tonight wasn't as good as it always is.
:07:30. > :07:32.6, 7, 8, 7. As long as I get a chance to dance next week I can
:07:33. > :07:38.build on it and learn from it. If I don't, I will forever hate the jive.
:07:39. > :07:46.Welcome the man eater and her Brendan! Can I just say, your
:07:47. > :07:51.make-up and hair on Saturday, you looked incredible. What did you
:07:52. > :07:55.think when you looked in the mirror? Hallowe'en was so much fun. The
:07:56. > :08:00.costume department, the make-up department, what a phenomenal job.
:08:01. > :08:05.It was incredible. You said you were left a little frustrated by this
:08:06. > :08:23.dance. When you look back on it now, how due feel about it? I
:08:24. > :08:26.dance. When you look back on it now, horrible. If it happens on the dress
:08:27. > :08:35.run it is fine but on the night it is so frustrating. Brendan, how
:08:36. > :08:38.frustrating is it for you to help a pro when it is live without talking
:08:39. > :08:41.to them? Of course it is difficult. You expect it to be there
:08:42. > :08:51.I was gutted for Sophie. We had a really good week of training, it
:08:52. > :08:55.felt right. It went wrong early, a drunking sailor didn't happen. Too
:08:56. > :09:00.drunk! Where it is fast you lose the impetus. Sophie lost that pump that
:09:01. > :09:05.you need. There's been this emphasis on kicks and flicks for the jive. It
:09:06. > :09:11.is not really a kick and a flick but a pumping action. You pump the legs,
:09:12. > :09:14.so it doesn't go to a straight leg, or would break your knees. You pump,
:09:15. > :09:35.pump, pump and Sophie was doing it or would break your knees. You pump,
:09:36. > :09:42.off your chest. The scores dipped into the 20s again. But think it was
:09:43. > :09:48.fair score broken? Absolutely. No, it was. You know at the end of the
:09:49. > :09:53.dance whether it has gone fantastically or perhaps not so
:09:54. > :09:58.much. We both looked at each other and were so disappointed, but it was
:09:59. > :10:03.a joint effort and I knew how good Sophie could have been. So in the
:10:04. > :10:07.20s, perfect. Bruno pointed out you had gone a little bit wrong at one
:10:08. > :10:12.point. How kind of confident but feel out on the floor, and how do
:10:13. > :10:17.you feel when you have gone wrong, how due recover? I've been waiting
:10:18. > :10:23.for that feeling every week, so in a weird way it is device night to have
:10:24. > :10:26.gone through it. You finish the routine, it doesn't feel lovely, it
:10:27. > :10:46.feels pretty horrible routine, it doesn't feel lovely, it
:10:47. > :10:51.dance it again. We have noticed in the training room, you can't correct
:10:52. > :10:56.on the dancefloor, as you can't talk to her, you don't even have to talk
:10:57. > :11:00.to each other in the training room. Spooky. When Brendan is working on a
:11:01. > :11:05.routine, he does this thing of not telling me what the move is we are
:11:06. > :11:14.trying to do and going, come here a minute... Hand twist, turn away and
:11:15. > :11:21.go woom! Sometimes it feels like we are playing an elaborate game. What
:11:22. > :11:28.am I trying to do? I don't know. Pah, pah... It is in my head. This
:11:29. > :11:33.is not working to me. I need somebody who understands what's in
:11:34. > :11:37.here. Wish you would communicate more what I'm supposed to be doing.
:11:38. > :11:56.Like more what I'm supposed to be doing.
:11:57. > :12:02.questions. I need tow write the answers on these cards with a pen,
:12:03. > :12:07.and don't show Sophie. I want tow tell Sophie the answer with the
:12:08. > :12:12.power of your mind. Let's play... Here we go, question one. Brendan,
:12:13. > :12:17.which judge would you most like to challenge to a dance-off?
:12:18. > :12:25.He's sending the money to Sophie now. Is she receiving? Sophie your
:12:26. > :12:31.answer, please. I'm saying Craig. Craig! It works! Brilliant. Brendan
:12:32. > :12:38.fuss, weren't partnered with Sophie, which other celebrity would you like
:12:39. > :12:46.to have danced with? He so muches quite sure. A bit too quick for my
:12:47. > :13:06.liking. Think outside the box Sophie.
:13:07. > :13:14.liking. Think outside the box Ooh. Use the power of the mind and
:13:15. > :13:22.the pen. Speak to me. No speaking, this is supposed to be telepathy! I
:13:23. > :13:24.have nothing, sorry. One out of three!
:13:25. > :13:30.APPLAUSE I think that went very well indeed. Let's talk about the
:13:31. > :13:34.Argentine tango. This is the dance that everybody loves. How are you
:13:35. > :13:39.getting on with all that lovely leg work Sophie? It is such a lovely
:13:40. > :13:43.dance. I'm loving this week. It is very full on. It's a very complex
:13:44. > :13:47.lovely bit of choreography that Brendan's put together. But I like
:13:48. > :13:52.the challenge. This is the chance when I started all my friends were
:13:53. > :13:56.like, I hope you get to do that dance, so I feel privileged. This
:13:57. > :13:57.really could be special. I really want it to be something very special
:13:58. > :14:16.for us. want it to be something very special
:14:17. > :14:20.Sophie and Brendan! From one dancing partnership to another. With six
:14:21. > :14:26.weeks to go until their big day, the wedding, and their wedding dance,
:14:27. > :14:30.the it is time to catch up with Natalie Lowe's proteges Mel and
:14:31. > :14:35.Gordon. They've milked their music. I'm disappointed that Agadoo was
:14:36. > :14:40.vetoed. We now have six weeks before the wedding which for any couple is
:14:41. > :14:46.a freakout moment. We are trying to fit in as much practise as we can,
:14:47. > :14:52.in the kitchen, doing the chores or even brushing our teeth. Tonight I'm
:14:53. > :14:57.intrusion music to Mel and Gordon's routine. I'm really excited about
:14:58. > :15:01.the music. It is weird when you count it through. The although
:15:02. > :15:06.Natalie warned us that when the music starts we are starting from
:15:07. > :15:07.scratch again, I can't wait. They are going to remember
:15:08. > :15:29.My First, My Last, My Everything. Let's put it to music. I can let
:15:30. > :15:33.myself go for with the music. You feel like you are in a club anted
:15:34. > :15:37.real. Just keeping the time with the music on is really difficult
:15:38. > :15:42.compared to just having her count it out for us. I've struggled with that
:15:43. > :15:46.a bit. And breathe, Gordon. It is really bad that you have to remind
:15:47. > :15:50.me to do that! I need to remember to relax into it a bit more or I will
:15:51. > :15:55.collapse halfway through on the wedding night. That will be a
:15:56. > :16:00.disaster See it in your eyes when you go wrong. I know, the look of
:16:01. > :16:07.terror. The bit of the dance I'm worried about is the wriggly shimmy
:16:08. > :16:11.bit. Wriggle, wriggle... This is quite an intimidating environment
:16:12. > :16:15.once they get out there and it is her wedding day I think she will
:16:16. > :16:36.apply herself. It looked good from where I was standing. I don't
:16:37. > :16:40.apply herself. It looked good from cannot lose chemistry. He makes me
:16:41. > :16:44.laugh when I look at hem. At least she's not crying. I've got a section
:16:45. > :16:47.in the dance where I drop back and fall into Gordon, which I've got to
:16:48. > :16:56.trust that he will be there to catch me. She would probably feel better
:16:57. > :17:01.if Ben Cohen was back there, but hopefully I won't drop her once. I'm
:17:02. > :17:06.not worried, that's for sure. High five.
:17:07. > :17:11.That is how Mel and Gordon are getting on in training. Don't they
:17:12. > :17:16.look brilliant? Hopefully we'll all be invited to the wedding. How about
:17:17. > :17:24.the rest of our celebrities? It is time for a second helping of Waite's
:17:25. > :17:27.Wednesday Warm Up. Look who is back
:17:28. > :21:21.Waite everybody. Thank you. Bring the dog in one week. On Saturday
:21:22. > :21:26.Patrick and Anya will be tackling an American smooth. Last weekend it was
:21:27. > :21:31.the quickstep which wowed the audience and the judges, placing
:21:32. > :21:35.them second on the leaderboard I was bewitched by the routine but
:21:36. > :21:39.bewilledered by the energy, the speed, the joy of the dance... That
:21:40. > :21:45.really was a spooky riot of a quickstep. It was outstanding. Very
:21:46. > :21:52.well done. It was full of character. Your timing, as always, exceptional.
:21:53. > :22:01.Great work. Patrick, that was fast! Great work. Well done.
:22:02. > :22:05.The comments were fantastic and brilliant and if it is the highest
:22:06. > :22:27.score to date, brilliant and if it is the highest
:22:28. > :22:33.were out there? Were you loving it, but think, hang on, Robinson, you've
:22:34. > :22:37.got it? I loved the dance from when I saw Anya doing all the moves, I
:22:38. > :22:43.thought, that's great. I can't wait to do that. The week before you were
:22:44. > :22:51.in bottom two and on Sunday who got called up first? What did you think
:22:52. > :22:57.when you heard Tess call your name? I screamed so loud, he didn't hear
:22:58. > :23:02.anything. I was like, oh! That's my yes. It must be such a relief. Yes.
:23:03. > :23:08.You did say last week, Anya, the salsa was the worst possible dance
:23:09. > :23:13.you could do with a poorly arm. How did the quickstep compare? The
:23:14. > :23:15.quickstep was quick, obviously. But I didn't hold back, because I knew I
:23:16. > :23:37.had to go 100% with him. The I didn't hold back, because I knew I
:23:38. > :23:43.personal lesson. Thank you Ian, why weren't you there for me last week?
:23:44. > :23:46.The only criticism was from Len, who said there was a lack of body
:23:47. > :23:51.contact. Is this something you were aware of in training? That was again
:23:52. > :23:56.down the his arm. It all makes sense No, the as well as I think it was
:23:57. > :24:01.correct. He's got a lot of natural rhythm so we've got to keep the
:24:02. > :24:09.hold. I've got to keep it rigid. It is hard. It is so unnatural. This --
:24:10. > :24:13.is this dancing? But it is beautiful. Craig said he loved the
:24:14. > :24:19.theatricality of the performance. How much did the make-up and the
:24:20. > :24:23.music rolled into one help? For me it was great. From the cost yurges
:24:24. > :24:24.in terms of having the tails. They said, do you wants a hat? I said,
:24:25. > :24:47.let's try a hat. When the hat said, do you wants a hat? I said,
:24:48. > :24:52.seen you dance here, it doesn't look much slower. It is probably just as
:24:53. > :24:59.quick as the quickstep. Oh, my goodness me. We can't go backwards,
:25:00. > :25:04.so we've just got to keep going. You are allowed some lifts in the
:25:05. > :25:09.American smooth. How is that going to go with his dodgy arm?
:25:10. > :25:10.Tentatively at the moment, thank you very
:25:11. > :25:17.We are pushing it but we are just having to see how it goes. Some
:25:18. > :25:24.gentle placement and maybe some springboards. Yes, trying out new
:25:25. > :25:30.things. You've got an amazing track to dance to, Harry Connick Junior.
:25:31. > :25:34.It couldn't be better. # It had to be you #
:25:35. > :25:56.Beautiful. You love # It had to be you #
:25:57. > :26:04.loved one of his albums but all the tracks on there. I'm there. It is
:26:05. > :26:10.the hero Gene Kelly thing. If he loves song... Exactly St You've got
:26:11. > :26:14.to feel it haven't you? Before we go, today is a very special day,
:26:15. > :26:20.ladies and gentlemen. It is Patrick's 50th birthday!
:26:21. > :26:25.CHEERING Happy birthday. Thank you everybody. Looking so good for 50.
:26:26. > :26:30.And it seem there is a lot of birthday love for you from your
:26:31. > :26:36.friends at Casualty. If I could buy you anything for your birthday, I
:26:37. > :26:40.would buy you pointy feet. Why you not pointing your feet? You are a
:26:41. > :26:46.naughty boy. Such a good dancer but you are not pointing your feet.
:26:47. > :26:46.Happy 50th Patrick. You don't look a day
:26:47. > :27:09.No, he is not 507. What do you think of his dancing... Shocking! This is
:27:10. > :27:16.the worst acting I think I've ever done! Happy birthday Patrick. Thank
:27:17. > :27:21.you ladies. CHEERING Comedy from Casualty.
:27:22. > :27:26.Lovely. And not wanting to be left out, the Strictly class of 2013 have

:27:39. > :27:44.Patrick. Loads of love. I want to say, in Russian, happy birthday. I
:27:45. > :27:50.wish you all the best. Hope you have an amazing day. Happy birthday old
:27:51. > :27:56.man. No, I can't say that! As soon as I sigh next time I'm going to hug
:27:57. > :27:57.you and kiss you and crush you with love.
:27:58. > :28:17.you and kiss you and crush you with CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:28:18. > :28:27.And what would a birthday be without a bit of cake? Here's Jonathan with
:28:28. > :28:34.the cake. Oh, stop that now. Come on everybody, in you come. Bring your
:28:35. > :28:42.party hats. Stop it! Blow out your candles Patrick.
