:00:20. > :01:25.Live from London, please welcome your host, Zoe Ball.
:01:26. > :01:31.We are just two days away from the scariest dancing
:01:32. > :01:41.Yes, it's the Strictly Halloween special!
:01:42. > :01:43.Well, we have a scream of a line-up tonight!
:01:44. > :01:50.Officially the least scary people in the world,
:01:51. > :01:54.The devilishly good-looking Mr Ian Waite!
:01:55. > :01:56.The ladies behind this weekend's spooky hair
:01:57. > :02:02.and make-up, the two Lisas, also known as the Strictly Glam Squad!
:02:03. > :02:04.And also, this is no trick, it's a real treat.
:02:05. > :02:16.Lord Of The Dance, Michael Flatley is here!
:02:17. > :02:29.down below so well in her salsa that she should change her surname
:02:30. > :02:47.How much fun was it to start the show with that dance last week?
:02:48. > :02:47.How much fun was it to start the was terrifying. It was good fun but
:02:48. > :02:50.so scary. Everyone leaves you at the was terrifying. It was good fun but
:02:51. > :02:55.beginning and you are like, stay! was terrifying. It was good fun but
:02:56. > :03:00.You have not been on first before. We have been fourth and fifth. Once
:03:01. > :03:06.it is done, you can kick back and relax. After this dance, you
:03:07. > :03:14.discovered you have a new famous fan. Game Joan Collins. Oh, yes! I
:03:15. > :03:19.know, how amazing is that? I came off from doing the dance and had
:03:20. > :03:25.these messages and I was saying, Joan Collins has tweeted me. Did you
:03:26. > :03:36.know who Joan Collins was? Of course. Well done as well. Lennon
:03:37. > :03:40.was talking about how she was shaking her assets, and a lot of
:03:41. > :03:45.solo work for Georgia in this dance. Are you impressed with how well
:03:46. > :03:51.she's doing out there alone? She did a good job. When you dance in
:03:52. > :03:56.couples, for sure. As a man, can lead my partner everywhere, but when
:03:57. > :04:04.you have solos, side-by-side... I kept looking at him, what are we
:04:05. > :04:12.doing? She did really well. She did really well. Not too much praise yet
:04:13. > :04:18.because you want more out of her. I love you with the dickie bow. Let's
:04:19. > :04:23.talk about your spins. I've counted
:04:24. > :04:40.and you did six spins in a row You often see people do the dirty
:04:41. > :04:46.dancing left, but with hands-on shoulders. You did that.
:04:47. > :04:55.Unbelievable! That was the first time it went that well. I went, we
:04:56. > :05:04.are doing it! How do you do that? Are you rigid in your arms and legs?
:05:05. > :05:06.Jim, Jim. I must do more squats. It is time for Halloween and you are
:05:07. > :05:07.dancing to this. MUSIC:
:05:08. > :05:31.Ghostbusters Theme Tune. I think we are both going to be
:05:32. > :05:35.Ghostbusters. I hope you have the guns and everything. It would be
:05:36. > :05:41.amazing. Do you get excited about finding out what you are wearing?
:05:42. > :05:47.Definitely. The costume team is phenomenal. And the make up team. It
:05:48. > :05:53.comes together. Halloween, I was really excited because you know you
:05:54. > :05:58.are going to get something mint. Mint. I will be using that on radio
:05:59. > :06:04.two tomorrow. How is your Tango coming together? We saw a bit of you
:06:05. > :06:10.struggling and I know how you feel. It is so emotional. I cannot feel my
:06:11. > :06:17.neck today. I woke up and I could not reach for my alarm. It has been
:06:18. > :06:23.hard this week but it is good. They will love you for that. Good luck
:06:24. > :06:29.with Ghostbusters. We know you will be brilliant. Georgia and Giovanni.
:06:30. > :06:40.Now, I spy a horned devil over there waiting to warm me up.
:06:41. > :07:01.I lost my teeth so I a vegetarian Dracula. I love the. We were hoping
:07:02. > :07:11.for a spider or pumpkin, but this is better. Hold on May two, my wand is
:07:12. > :07:24.stuck. We have five couples for you to get your teeth into. Carol and
:07:25. > :07:29.Pasha are doing the rumba. Have you got any notes? A lovely coal
:07:30. > :07:36.allowance step. I just made that up. -- koala. I would like to use her
:07:37. > :07:42.legs a little more. It is stumping at the moment. The swivels were not
:07:43. > :07:51.bad. Here, I will put in some arrows. Every time Carol stands on a
:07:52. > :08:03.leg, she needs to straighten her knees, like this. I think we should
:08:04. > :08:08.make you up every week. Get the knees straight. We will be talking
:08:09. > :08:14.to Carol and Pasha shortly. Jamelia and Tristan are doing the time warp
:08:15. > :08:19.as a jive, great fun for Halloween. Is it looking good? I love the song,
:08:20. > :08:27.so it should be great. Her knees are to bent, for me. At the end, she
:08:28. > :08:34.needs to straighten her knees. We are looking at this area. If we are
:08:35. > :08:44.side-by-side, doing a jive action. Side, close, side, straighten. Pasha
:08:45. > :08:52.is giving me a funny look from the wings. You need to get the bounce. I
:08:53. > :08:56.have seized up. Peter and Janette are doing a foxtrot. It sounds
:08:57. > :09:03.romantic and we love his hat. How is it looking? The F tips are quite
:09:04. > :09:14.nice. There was some lovely footwork later on. -- the F bits. He does a
:09:15. > :09:21.lovely turn. The issue I have is here. You can see he has gone up in
:09:22. > :09:25.his shoulders. He has done a step outside her and he has gone like
:09:26. > :09:30.that. He has done it in a couple of places, not just there. He has to
:09:31. > :09:37.arise in the but feet not in the shoulders, which should stay down,
:09:38. > :09:43.darling. Jeremy and Karen are dancing to thriller. They are doing
:09:44. > :09:49.a salsa. I am so excited. Tell me it is going to be brilliant. Jeremy's
:09:50. > :09:54.salsa looks quite good, and those are three words I never thought I
:09:55. > :09:59.would say! He is going for it, he is loose in the hips. It is a bit
:10:00. > :10:05.plodding, he needs to be on the balls of his feet. But I love this
:10:06. > :10:08.here. Look at his hand and everything and his facial
:10:09. > :10:13.expression. I think he will get into character on this answer and it will
:10:14. > :10:19.be good for him. It will suit his character, whatever that may be. Is
:10:20. > :10:26.he going to go the full Michael Jackson, I hope so. Jay and Aliona,
:10:27. > :10:32.and American smooth for them. Little red riding hood is the theme. Is it
:10:33. > :10:39.looking spotless? The movement is going well. She is perfectly on him.
:10:40. > :10:44.I can see no daylight between them. It is rather smooth. The only issue
:10:45. > :10:51.is that they just did a lovely drop ronde there, and the only issue I
:10:52. > :10:55.have is here with the shoulder. He has dropped the shoulder, dropped
:10:56. > :11:01.the elbow and it is bringing the shoulder forwards. That is not how
:11:02. > :11:08.we want him to look. He dropped this elbow and the shoulder has gone
:11:09. > :11:16.forward. It is impossible to see it! Thanks a lot, Ian. Right, back to
:11:17. > :11:18.Transylvania, Ian Waite. Now, let's catch up with how Helen
:11:19. > :11:21.and Aljaz, and Jamelia and Tristan and see how they are getting
:11:22. > :11:36.on with their monstrous moves. This week we are doing a samba for
:11:37. > :11:39.Halloween. I am petrified. Apparently it is like a salsa but
:11:40. > :11:50.really hard because it has technique. It is hard, a lot of
:11:51. > :11:54.hips. One... A lot of bounce action and rhythm. I definitely feel out of
:11:55. > :12:00.my comfort zone on the Latin numbers. That is awful. We are going
:12:01. > :12:08.to put in a lot of hours and try to get the samba as good as it can be.
:12:09. > :12:12.Leave me alone! This week, we are doing the jive,
:12:13. > :12:18.very high energy and lots of fancy footwork. The jive is difficult for
:12:19. > :12:23.some people because it is physical. We will be properly knackered after
:12:24. > :12:29.this. Anyone who has been tuning in may know that fitness is not my bag
:12:30. > :12:33.and I am tired already. It is about making it as much fun as possible
:12:34. > :12:35.and doing the best job that we can. That will look wicked if I can get
:12:36. > :12:38.it right. When I get it right! Every week, our Strictly stars hit
:12:39. > :12:41.the dance floor looking flawless. However, this week,
:12:42. > :12:43.some of them will look But, fear not,
:12:44. > :13:01.it's all in the name of Halloween. You're in charge of the Strictly
:13:02. > :13:22.make-up. How do you make our beautiful
:13:23. > :13:27.contestants look awful for Halloween? It is tricky because we
:13:28. > :13:32.want them to look beautiful because we are Strictly, but we use a lot of
:13:33. > :13:35.shading and white make up and ghoulish colours to make them look
:13:36. > :13:43.gorgeous but still deathly and a bit ghoulish. Lots of glitter. You have
:13:44. > :13:46.gone crazy with glitter. Lisa, how difficult is it for you to do their
:13:47. > :13:53.hair and get it to stay in place when they are spinning and doing
:13:54. > :13:58.those staccato head moves? Basically, hundreds of hairpins,
:13:59. > :14:06.glue, staple gun, anything. Often, we stitch it in so it will stay in
:14:07. > :14:15.place. Here is an eater -- Anita Rani. Talk us through her make up.
:14:16. > :14:19.place. Here is an eater -- Anita We will use bright, bold, clashing
:14:20. > :14:22.colours to create the character. You can see on the sketch we will clash
:14:23. > :14:27.the purple against green fodder which look. And the thick eyeliner
:14:28. > :14:34.with glitter. She has the perfect by shape for that. She looks stunning
:14:35. > :14:37.with the eyeliner. She can take a lot of make up on her eyes. It will
:14:38. > :14:43.be a great look for her. And she lot of make up on her eyes. It will
:14:44. > :14:50.also has horns. Talk us through how you create this look. Rather than
:14:51. > :14:53.the generic headdress, we wanted to be creative, so we made horns out of
:14:54. > :15:02.wire cages and covered them in hair. be creative, so we made horns out of
:15:03. > :15:08.this hair. They are really liked. How do you attach them? We will
:15:09. > :15:13.stitch them in. It is fine until she How do you attach them? We will
:15:14. > :15:18.wants to go home. This looks very much like Frankenstein's monster.
:15:19. > :15:23.Who will be looking like this? That will be Pasha and this will be
:15:24. > :15:30.Carol. He loves a bit of green. I remember him as Schreck. Again, we
:15:31. > :15:37.have the green face, lots of shading, lots of grey and black.
:15:38. > :15:43.Around the eyes, really dark. We get that heavy line across the forehead.
:15:44. > :15:52.He will be happy about that! And we were actually use the bolts. And the
:15:53. > :15:55.lovely Carol will be very pale. The bride of Frankenstein. Pale skin and
:15:56. > :16:03.some glitter iridescence on her face. Glittery eyeliner and the
:16:04. > :16:08.browser will be structured, harsh. And a bit of patchwork down here as
:16:09. > :16:20.if she has been sewn up. What about the hair? Pasha will just have his
:16:21. > :16:22.own hair but squared up. Carol is a work in process. We have a wig for
:16:23. > :16:28.her. And over here we have
:16:29. > :16:31.a special guest waiting for us! You may not recognise her, but I can
:16:32. > :16:46.assure you, under all the make-up is How are you feeling in?
:16:47. > :16:53.I am not sure. Talk me through this look?
:16:54. > :16:58.This is for the group number. She is the corpse bride look. Dark eye make
:16:59. > :17:04.up to the eyebrow, to make it look hollow.
:17:05. > :17:08.Glitter on the eyebrow. Some structure with the shading as I
:17:09. > :17:14.talked about before. A pot of glitter and we blew it into
:17:15. > :17:18.her face! Do close your eyes first!
:17:19. > :17:27.What about her hair? This is a wake. Making it secure.
:17:28. > :17:33.She throws her head everywhere. I have seen it from those low terms.
:17:34. > :17:34.Finishing it with accessories. Does it feel comfortable?
:17:35. > :17:39.Yes. Your partner in crime Vicky Gill
:17:40. > :17:41.will be revealing some of the horrifying costumes live
:17:42. > :17:43.from Elstree tomorrow. Good luck for Saturday,
:17:44. > :17:54.Lisa Armstrong and Lisa Davey! Next up tonight, even though she'll
:17:55. > :17:59.have a sinister look on Saturday thanks to the Glam Squad,
:18:00. > :18:30.her smile will still shine through. What you think of your looks? I love
:18:31. > :18:35.it, they are fantastic, the team. Originally, you were meant to be
:18:36. > :18:38.green. Let us go back to Saturday night.
:18:39. > :18:39.You took my breath away. Your Viennese waltz was beautiful
:18:40. > :18:51.on Saturday. In that dress, to that music?
:18:52. > :18:56.Sensational, so graceful and elegant.
:18:57. > :19:00.I always say Pasha puts together the most beautiful choreography. She
:19:01. > :19:08.does. Special. You will have that forever. Miranda
:19:09. > :19:09.Hart was loving you on Twitter. Miranda saying how brilliant you
:19:10. > :19:10.are. You got your second highest score
:19:11. > :19:13.of the series, 21. Do you set yourself
:19:14. > :19:26.a target with your score? Usually we aim for 40. I didn't tell
:19:27. > :19:28.you before. That is coming.
:19:29. > :19:32.You got a four from Craig, and he said he felt that Pasha was
:19:33. > :19:34.just pushing you around those pivots a little bit.
:19:35. > :19:47.It went passed so quickly. I wasn't aware of Pasha pushing me. If Craig
:19:48. > :19:53.said, he properly did. It was just lovely. Were you
:19:54. > :19:53.pushing? No, not at all, gliding around.
:19:54. > :19:55.Smooth and flowing. There were a lot
:19:56. > :19:57.of positive comments too. Len said it was a very nice, stylish
:19:58. > :20:13.Viennese waltz, and gave you a six. Dancing! I think, from his point of
:20:14. > :20:18.view, Len said it, Carol has never danced before, and he saw a huge
:20:19. > :20:20.improvement and he judged on that, from last week and this week. Huge
:20:21. > :20:37.improvement, good score. You are dancing the dance of love,
:20:38. > :20:44.how are you finding the Rumba? Brilliant fun. I have muscles in my
:20:45. > :20:48.arms I didn't know. He makes me stretch through to my fingers.
:20:49. > :20:54.She is taking it on board. Rumba is often quite an intimate
:20:55. > :21:06.dance, and you'd think by now Slide your leg, you with me. I am
:21:07. > :21:14.blushing. I wish the air conditioning would come on now.
:21:15. > :21:16.You have to be so close and personal. You enjoyed that secretly?
:21:17. > :21:22.Yes. Finally, Carol,
:21:23. > :21:24.for those kids and parents going trick or treating at the weekend,
:21:25. > :21:32.will the weather be good for them? Not too bad, it could be a lot
:21:33. > :21:39.worse. Let us remind ourselves last
:21:40. > :21:43.Halloween when Pasha was dressed as that. We called you Carlos. It was
:21:44. > :21:45.so good. Good luck this weekend.
:21:46. > :21:51.Now, Carol, what are you doing at 6pm tomorrow?
:21:52. > :21:53.I'll be having my tea, and watching It Takes Two, of course!
:21:54. > :22:11.We catch up with Vicky Gill live in the Strictly studio for a peek at
:22:12. > :22:21.this spectacular costume show. Jay takes a ride. Karen Hardy cooks
:22:22. > :22:24.up the perfect Halloween potion. It takes to, live on Friday, at 6pm.
:22:25. > :22:26.Right, we all know that Pasha is the reigning Strictly king,
:22:27. > :22:28.thanks to his win with Caroline Flack last year.
:22:29. > :22:31.But there's one man who trumps even that title.
:22:32. > :23:08.And the man behind the phenomenon is here.
:23:09. > :23:18.Very quickly, I've just realised where Usain Bolt got his inspiration
:23:19. > :23:27.When did you begin doing that pose, and why?
:23:28. > :23:35.Since the mid-19 70s, a long time. I am older than you think.
:23:36. > :23:39.It must be flattering to see him doing it. It is amazing.
:23:40. > :23:45.He is such a star. Isn't it funny that both of us are probably the
:23:46. > :23:47.fastest feet in the world, aside from David Beckham. I would like to
:23:48. > :23:52.see you do a job swatch -- swap. Now, as a seasoned dance legend,
:23:53. > :24:03.which of the couples have impressed I love them all. Can I say briefly,
:24:04. > :24:07.the professionals, they also impressive, every night.
:24:08. > :24:11.They are. Season after season. Nobody will ever know how hard they
:24:12. > :24:16.work to make the celebrities look so great.
:24:17. > :24:20.I love Daniel O'Donnell. He has gone back.
:24:21. > :24:26.We miss him. He got a bit nervous. I know him. He is such a gentleman.
:24:27. > :24:28.Katie was great. Jeremy. I could name them all.
:24:29. > :24:33.You embody showmanship. How do our celebrities go from being competent
:24:34. > :24:47.Yes, you see, if they want to win this, and I think everyone is in
:24:48. > :24:52.with a shot still, I think it is about presentation, not just the
:24:53. > :24:55.steps. The judges will be looking for somebody who comes alive under
:24:56. > :24:57.the lights. It is quite exciting, you cannot
:24:58. > :24:57.tell who. Dangerous Games is not only
:24:58. > :25:15.your 20th year doing Lord Of The You know, it is just time, I want to
:25:16. > :25:21.spend more time with my wife and son. I have new interests, I am
:25:22. > :25:26.painting, doing television work. Moving on to something new. We are
:25:27. > :25:31.finishing on Broadway, I will be opening their next Saturday. We are
:25:32. > :25:36.wrapped the London Playhouse with some of the greatest dancers in the
:25:37. > :25:42.world, James Keegan. Some fabulous dancers. I would like to invite the
:25:43. > :25:43.whole of England to see them. We will all be there.
:25:44. > :25:53.We don't know yet, you never know. Young lads will take over now.
:25:54. > :25:58.If you were a judge on Strictly, what would you be looking for?
:25:59. > :26:07.I would be looking for that star quality, somebody who knows how to
:26:08. > :26:13.come alive under that light, a bit of passion and power. From what I
:26:14. > :26:18.have seen, I think nerves to play a big part. Len will be looking
:26:19. > :26:21.carefully at that. If you could let go a bit of the nerves and just
:26:22. > :26:30.perform, nobody is watching.
:26:31. > :26:35.Any advice for aspiring dancers? Work hard, follow your dream, you
:26:36. > :26:40.can have anything in the world. Great advice.
:26:41. > :26:46.Well, we have some keen students waiting for a lesson from the
:26:47. > :26:50.Lord Of The Dance, and you can tap 35 times per second.
:26:51. > :26:56.Mr Ian Waite, and two of your principle dancers,
:26:57. > :27:07.Guys, have any of you learnt Irish dancing before?
:27:08. > :27:12.No, and I have killer heels on. Georgia? No.
:27:13. > :27:17.Well, Michael, what can you teach this lot in about a minute?
:27:18. > :27:26.James, will you show them this one set for me.
:27:27. > :27:34.That is nice and easy! James, can you show us inched slow
:27:35. > :27:43.motion? -- in slow motion. Here we go. Bang, up. Try that,
:27:44. > :27:51.everybody? Three four, and back. Left foot,
:27:52. > :27:58.same again. And we repeat it. Not bad at all.
:27:59. > :28:09.Shall we try doing that to some music?
:28:10. > :28:13.Number one, one, two, three, four. Let us do it to music.
:28:14. > :28:19.Here we go. Come on, Carol, Georgia.
:28:20. > :28:31.Here we go. Off we go. A huge thank-you to all
:28:32. > :28:36.of our guests. Don't forget to tune in tomorrow
:28:37. > :28:39.at the earlier time of 6pm for an hour-long show, when I'll be joined
:28:40. > :28:42.by my star studded Friday panel. Plus, Kirsty and Brendan,
:28:43. > :28:44.Helen and Aljaz, And we'll be looking at the spooky
:28:45. > :28:48.costumes, ahead of Saturday's show with Vicky Gill, live from
:28:49. > :28:55.the Strictly studios at Elstree. Give it up, Michael Flatley and our
:28:56. > :28:57.dancers!
