:00:50. > :00:54.From London, this is Strictly - It Takes Two. Please welcome your host
:00:55. > :01:01.- Zoe Ball. Did you know that Tuesday
:01:02. > :01:05.is the most productive day of the week, which means we've been
:01:06. > :01:07.super busy putting together And we've got the playlist to match
:01:08. > :01:11.because we'll be wheeling out the jukebox for an exclusive listen
:01:12. > :01:14.to what our couples will be And, she's been keeping a sharp
:01:15. > :01:25.eye on all the couples, Karen Hardy is back in Choreography
:01:26. > :01:29.Corner! Now, our first couple may have found
:01:30. > :01:32.themselves in the bottom two on Sunday, but they're top
:01:33. > :01:46.of the bill tonight, Let's dance.
:01:47. > :01:51.MUSIC rhythm of the Night. You came on to that floor and you
:01:52. > :02:01.sold T You threw too much of everything into it and lost a bit of
:02:02. > :02:12.control. The showgirl has gone, va, va vroom. I was gobsmacked.
:02:13. > :02:18.Laura and Giovanni. You looked amazing. Different. I liked the red
:02:19. > :02:21.hair. A shocker of a bottom two. Len also said you didn't need to worry
:02:22. > :02:27.because you were going to be there for aiming and then that happened.
:02:28. > :02:31.How did it feel? Did it hurt? You kind of prepare yourself for that,
:02:32. > :02:34.after Melvin going the fist week, which gave us a kick and it becomes
:02:35. > :02:38.more real every time you dance because it could be the last time. I
:02:39. > :02:43.remember when we did the dance, I ripped my tights and I ran backstage
:02:44. > :02:47.- in case I'm in the dance-off I'll change my tights. Always be
:02:48. > :02:51.prepared. You must have been a Brownie. How shocked were you?
:02:52. > :02:57.Shocked. Yes and no, because at this moment it is a really difficult
:02:58. > :03:02.competition. They are all brilliant but, I think - yes, a little bit
:03:03. > :03:04.shocked. Karen Hardy was here yesterday and she was saying how
:03:05. > :03:09.lovely when it was, she saw Laura was upset and you rushed over,
:03:10. > :03:14.because it is kind of your job as a professional. Absolutely Counsellor.
:03:15. > :03:20.Therapist. She was a little bit scared to be honest to dance again.
:03:21. > :03:24.So I thought she needed a hug and she went there and she smashed it
:03:25. > :03:29.again. What did you say to her? I just say - do again what you did
:03:30. > :03:36.before. Yes. Because I was really proud on the night and go with more
:03:37. > :03:41.energy. And she Z she did. I - she znchts getting to do the dance off,
:03:42. > :03:46.as scary as it is, it is nice to prove yourself again and take on
:03:47. > :03:50.what the judges said. Because I waltzed the second week, I probably
:03:51. > :03:54.put too much energy. When I did the dance off, I tried to put in the
:03:55. > :03:58.energy and control it. You are trying to do that and also not look
:03:59. > :04:02.at your mother who is in the audience. Don't look at your mam.
:04:03. > :04:06.Before you did the dance off, Craig said you were a wonderful dancer.
:04:07. > :04:12.Bruno gave awe 9 on Saturday night. I know. I was happy enough with how
:04:13. > :04:16.I danced. Latin, the first time I danced Latin I got 25. I got 30. I
:04:17. > :04:21.was happy. It is a strong competition, and everyone is so good
:04:22. > :04:25.and Tameka is so good. You don't know. I think - all I can do is
:04:26. > :04:30.improve every week. I'm not a dancer. I have an amazing dancer
:04:31. > :04:37.with me who is teaching me so much. I do, he tells meefrry day how
:04:38. > :04:42.amazing he is. - tells me every day. It is about bettering myself and a
:04:43. > :04:47.personal journey. I don't want to let myself down and Giovanni,
:04:48. > :04:53.because he has put so much work in. Every week is another dance Ye, I
:04:54. > :04:58.have to learn another one. You are exhausted and the speed. That was
:04:59. > :05:08.the amazing thing, there was so much content N those heels n that
:05:09. > :05:15.incredible outfit. Well done. -- in those heels. Len was talking about
:05:16. > :05:22.it being raunchy. Did you know? I wanted to show another side. She did
:05:23. > :05:29.the waltz and I wanted to show she could be sexy. I was watching the
:05:30. > :05:40.hips, when I watched back the video, to be honest, move your hips, hips,
:05:41. > :05:47.hips. I said to me - with Sal sacks the hips. - with salsa, the hips. He
:05:48. > :05:52.drilled it into me. I was petrified a judge would say the hips weren't
:05:53. > :05:57.good enough. Look, it worked. They talked about getting in and out of
:05:58. > :06:01.the lifts. They were incredible. We have evidence about how tricky they
:06:02. > :06:06.were. I'm quite tall. There is a lot of me to lift. But, Giovanni,
:06:07. > :06:18.thankfully, is a strong man. Ahhh.
:06:19. > :06:26.# Ahhh. One way to get a new partner. Oh my
:06:27. > :06:30.goodness. Remember I said I had a few bruises. And my shoulder, sorry.
:06:31. > :06:34.It looked incredible. We don't want you to be too disheartened about
:06:35. > :06:39.being in the dance-off. Fact fan also know being in the bottom two
:06:40. > :06:44.early can often be a good omen. Let's review the evidence here is a
:06:45. > :06:49.list of Strictly stars who were in that predicament in week 3 and
:06:50. > :06:54.reached the final. Simon Webbe and Kristina Rihanoff. Denise Lewis and
:06:55. > :07:01.Ian Waite - he danced with someone else -. And Natasha Kaplinsky and
:07:02. > :07:06.Brendan Cole, series 1. And they won. Feeling encouraged? No
:07:07. > :07:12.pressure. It kind of gives you a bit of a boost, more fight. So this week
:07:13. > :07:16.we are really going to put everything. Each week is a different
:07:17. > :07:21.dance. Each week is a different dance. He is like - relax. It is
:07:22. > :07:26.quite good. It is having a calming affect on me. He should do a tape
:07:27. > :07:30.you can listen to in the morning I don't know what he is saying most of
:07:31. > :07:33.the time. It is the Italian accent. It works. This week, quickstep for
:07:34. > :07:39.you. How much have you managed to do so far? I mean, there are a lot of
:07:40. > :07:43.steps. It is kind of me - for me anyway because I don't know anything
:07:44. > :07:47.about it, it is a mixture of dances together. You have all the
:07:48. > :07:51.choreography, the way we have to do the salsa... No it is not. It is
:07:52. > :07:59.going to be, quick, quick, quickstep. It flies down everywhere.
:08:00. > :08:04.No salsa. There are a lot of steps. Definitely. Thank you for explaining
:08:05. > :08:09.that, I understand it much more clearly now. Good luck and well done
:08:10. > :08:17.for surviving. Good luck next weekend. Laura and Giovanni.
:08:18. > :08:19.Now, there are lots of good things about Tuesdays.
:08:20. > :08:23.Two, Pancake Day falls on a Tuesday - who doesn't love pancakes?
:08:24. > :08:30.And three, the best thing of all - Tunes on Tuesday!
:08:31. > :08:34.# Creepin up on new # Just dance, dance,
:08:35. > :08:36.Let's see what classics the dance...# jukebox
:08:37. > :08:57.In 1969 Boom Bang A Bang was our Lulu's winning entry
:08:58. > :09:01.However, she had to share the top spot with three other countries.
:09:02. > :09:14.They'll be dancing a Viennese Waltz to this number, but will they get
:09:15. > :09:29.Right, what's next on our Tuesday playlist?
:09:30. > :09:40.It's George Michael's award-winning, mega hit Careless Whisper,
:09:41. > :09:48.a song he wrote when he was just 17 years old.
:09:49. > :09:51.He says that he has gotten more compliments for writing the sax solo
:09:52. > :09:53.than for anything else he has ever written!
:09:54. > :10:00.But which couple will be dancing to this classic on Saturday?
:10:01. > :10:15.And if you ask me, every rumba should be accompanied by a sax solo.
:10:16. > :10:20.We've got time for just one more song.
:10:21. > :10:30.It's Carly Rae Jepsen's 2015 smash-hit I Really Like You.
:10:31. > :10:32.The music video features Hollywood megastar Tom Hanks lip-syncing
:10:33. > :10:43.It features the word "really" a total of 67 times.
:10:44. > :10:52.Thank you, Tom. Thank you to our dancing Toms. Terrified.
:10:53. > :10:55.But which couple will be dancing to this modern
:10:56. > :11:06.They'll be performing a foxtrot, but will the judges really really
:11:07. > :11:10.If you want to find out what top tunes the rest
:11:11. > :11:12.of our couples are dancing to, head to the Strictly
:11:13. > :11:25.Now, as we know, our Strictly pros have
:11:26. > :11:28.Do you know who else had all the moves?
:11:29. > :11:30.None other than the Godfather of Soul, James Brown.
:11:31. > :11:33.This weekend's Group Dance will be an homage to the man himself
:11:34. > :11:36.and as always the It Takes Two team got the first look.
:11:37. > :11:41.! This week we are doing a special group dance to the king of soul,
:11:42. > :11:44.James Brown, so get on up. # Get on up...#
:11:45. > :11:49.We have the element of jive, Choo characters Charleston, Lindy. We put
:11:50. > :11:55.them altogether with the hip hop and mashing these two worlds together.
:11:56. > :11:58.The set up is koo. Aljaz and I are walking into a club scene where
:11:59. > :12:04.Anton is the manager. James Brown is performing. It is based around the
:12:05. > :12:08.'70s. So it has a cool jibe. I think the most challenging part of the
:12:09. > :12:13.routine is to get the full cast to feel the music together. It is
:12:14. > :12:22.getting everybody to kind of let loose sometimes. I am eight junk
:12:23. > :12:27.mooiser. Er - the - I'm the funk miester. I was there when it began.
:12:28. > :12:33.We are dancing on the table and we have to sort of flick over. It is a
:12:34. > :12:37.little bit challenging. James Brown is such a legend.
:12:38. > :12:42.Growing up in Ukraine I knew about him from a very young age.
:12:43. > :12:51.# I feel good... # I knew that I would now...
:12:52. > :12:55.# So, nice, so nice, I've got you... Da, da, da#
:12:56. > :13:02.Is that good? That's all we can show you guys. Make sure you tune in next
:13:03. > :13:04.week it see if this is really a Man's World. Or a woman. Thank you
:13:05. > :13:07.very much. I can't wait to see it. Now, she's travelled the four
:13:08. > :13:09.corners of the globe to dance but she's feels most at home
:13:10. > :13:38.in Choreography Corner. Karen Hardy is here. I am clumping
:13:39. > :13:45.my questions. Claudia and AJ's incredible charleston on Saturday, a
:13:46. > :13:49.whopping 36 points. Len praised the clever choreography, the slick
:13:50. > :13:52.tricks and Craig didn't even ask for more swivel, was it a dream
:13:53. > :14:12.charleston? It was brilliant and what I love and rightly so became
:14:13. > :14:19.global action. I thought it was Inc bearing in, slowing down about what
:14:20. > :14:24.the bells we will make the left or interesting to see what happens from
:14:25. > :14:29.here on in. Lesley and Anton next, they are doing a super quick
:14:30. > :14:33.quickstep, delightful. Darcey felt it was so quick in places that maybe
:14:34. > :14:39.the technique became a little bit loose, would you agree? Slightly. We
:14:40. > :14:44.want light, flight, height and those things and they mastered that
:14:45. > :14:50.between them. But look at the gapping. We had an incredible night
:14:51. > :14:56.of performances and we are going to have to start getting nitty-gritty.
:14:57. > :15:00.We saw that in the bottom corner, but fabulous choreography. Fast,
:15:01. > :15:05.complicated routine and she made it look so easy, absolutely loved it.
:15:06. > :15:09.Well done, Lesley. Anastacia and Brendan's waltz, both Craigend Bruno
:15:10. > :15:13.noticed she was losing a little balance when she was coming in and
:15:14. > :15:19.out of turns. I've picked up on it here. I thought this was beautiful,
:15:20. > :15:22.she has bounced back from a difficult week. Elegance and beauty
:15:23. > :15:27.and all we would ask her to do is start using her standing legs, legs
:15:28. > :15:33.are what we use for movement, very simple tip but very important, helps
:15:34. > :15:36.you drive across the floor and helps you fulfil balance. Obviously
:15:37. > :15:40.Brendan is going to have a lot of natural drive, so she's got to keep
:15:41. > :15:44.up with that using her standing legs and we won't get those little
:15:45. > :15:48.wobbles. But I thought it was beautiful, elegant and gorgeous.
:15:49. > :15:59.Well done, that lady. Dead-end Katya's samba of this boy brings it
:16:00. > :16:05.every week. -- Ed and Katya. Len praised Katya for giving him full on
:16:06. > :16:08.choreography in his routines. Are you impressed? I love it, I've said
:16:09. > :16:15.from the beginning new professionals means new choreography and Ed Balls
:16:16. > :16:19.is giving everything. I had to pick this up and then he goes even more.
:16:20. > :16:25.He's living the dream. And then what I love is the blender step, this is
:16:26. > :16:29.a new step for Strictly. The teamwork, the balance. If he had
:16:30. > :16:33.over alleged that, slightly to the left or right, she would have gone
:16:34. > :16:40.like a sardine orang and nobody likes a soggy meringue. I've got to
:16:41. > :16:48.say I jumped out of my seat -- soggy meringue. Great, great
:16:49. > :16:55.entertainment. Well done, Ed and Katya. Judge Rinder and the
:16:56. > :17:01.charleston. Bruno said the timing was extinct, Darcey didn't agree,
:17:02. > :17:05.who was right? I'm going on Darcey's side, it was fabulous, it is full of
:17:06. > :17:10.little errors. We've picked up on one here. What I would love him to
:17:11. > :17:14.do, we've got so much expectation from what he's going to deliver
:17:15. > :17:22.every week. We are excited. There is a little blunder there. You could
:17:23. > :17:27.say his timing was a little late. I just want to see him not worrying
:17:28. > :17:33.about being the performing and the character. I just want him to zone
:17:34. > :17:37.it down, dance, deliver a fabulous dance. Don't worry about almost
:17:38. > :17:45.being the actor, the comical one. When he did that backflip. I know! I
:17:46. > :17:49.don't know where it came from. I'm just waiting for that amazing
:17:50. > :17:53.performance where we don't need the face and the cars and all of that
:17:54. > :17:58.and I think we are going to get a magical one down the line. That's
:17:59. > :18:04.the nice thing, not some any props and simplifying everything. Then you
:18:05. > :18:09.see the real dancing and technique. Daisy and Aljaz's quickstep, another
:18:10. > :18:16.fine performance, opening the show. Craig felt that her left shoulder
:18:17. > :18:22.was raised a few millimetres. Twice, he said. You keep Craig. Did you
:18:23. > :18:25.notice this? The professionals and the celebrity have brought this on
:18:26. > :18:29.themselves. They've come out so early with these incredible numbers
:18:30. > :18:34.that we do have to look at things like this. We have to be top minds.
:18:35. > :18:55.I've picked up on it here. Craig is right, it is lifting.
:18:56. > :19:13.Perfect run, I don't want like that early on, I want to give them a
:19:14. > :19:16.little more time. We have a few more weeks, it is so competitive, I've
:19:17. > :19:20.been speaking to some of the professionals and they've even been
:19:21. > :19:22.a sister into the competition. I love hearing that I really love
:19:23. > :20:45.that. the explosion, the finale at the
:20:46. > :20:55.end, the famous moment when the water comes gushing down. Just like
:20:56. > :21:06.that! Are you doing that at home? Extend the leg. Here she goes. Look
:21:07. > :21:10.at that! I'm going to do that at home with some hundreds and
:21:11. > :21:16.thousands. I would swap with her in a second. We've all had our moment
:21:17. > :21:23.here. We've got to commend everything on that show, lights,
:21:24. > :21:28.camera, action. Finally, Ore and Joanne's American Smooth. I cried
:21:29. > :21:32.watching this, I love singing in the rain and it's hard to copy someone
:21:33. > :21:36.like Gene Kellie but he was incredible. The judge not only
:21:37. > :21:42.praised his performance but also Joanne's beautiful choreography. The
:21:43. > :21:45.importance of choreography is depth of layering. I've picked up here
:21:46. > :21:51.where not just walking down the steps, we are going to dance, off
:21:52. > :21:55.and on, the beautiful hand position, its attention to detail, the use of
:21:56. > :21:59.the umbrella. Not just open the umbrella and throw it to the side,
:22:00. > :22:02.they have danced with it. The attention to detail, the use of the
:22:03. > :22:06.arms, the character, there was a moment where they did that classic
:22:07. > :22:10.stabbing of the water with the umbrella. They seem to pick up all
:22:11. > :22:16.of the iconic moments and deliver the dance at the same time. And I
:22:17. > :22:21.jumped out of my seat. What I loved with them is they were even excited
:22:22. > :22:26.to start the dance. I could feel them like, come on, I want to get on
:22:27. > :22:31.with this. What a great number, really, really beautiful. And
:22:32. > :22:35.onwards and upwards. Where is this going to go? It's too much, we all
:22:36. > :22:39.need a lie down. You will not be here for the next three weeks.
:22:40. > :22:44.Excuse me! Is it something we said? I thought we were going to keep this
:22:45. > :22:49.secret. We are going to have a puppet. Where are you going? I'm
:22:50. > :22:52.going down under, New Zealand, beautiful Australasia, I have a bit
:22:53. > :22:58.of work to do down there with a few students. When you get back we will
:22:59. > :23:00.fill you in on the gossip and I will face time you. It will be fine.
:23:01. > :23:04.Karen will be back in November. Now, our next couple
:23:05. > :23:06.were on a mission to tango on Saturday and it was impossible
:23:07. > :23:26.not to cheer them on. The drama was there from the
:23:27. > :23:31.beginning. Incredible tango. That is your best dance to date. You are
:23:32. > :23:35.better than you think you are. The potential is there a. Keep
:23:36. > :23:41.confidence in yourself. Believe in yourself because you've got it. I
:23:42. > :23:51.loved the concept and I love the drama Naga and Pasha, everyone. Sign
:23:52. > :23:56.this lady up to be the next Catwoman. That outfit, how amazing
:23:57. > :24:01.did you feel in that getup? I felt hot. You looked so hot. You looked
:24:02. > :24:07.quite good in the turtleneck as well. You entered Thom Cruise style,
:24:08. > :24:09.which was amazing. Then we were thinking he's never going to get her
:24:10. > :24:14.under from the buckle. What happened? I have no idea but it was
:24:15. > :24:19.so stressful because I was looking at the buckle and it wasn't buckling
:24:20. > :24:23.out and I was just like we are just staying here and Naga was like,
:24:24. > :24:28.yeah, any time you are done I will be there. It did not throw you at
:24:29. > :24:33.all. I'd had a lot of drilling, do not do anything without me. I lead
:24:34. > :24:40.you and you follow, I am yours to lead. OK, yes, Pasha. And it is
:24:41. > :24:44.sinking in. You remembered it exactly. That is brilliant. So much
:24:45. > :24:50.love for you online apart from the outfit. This came in from John
:24:51. > :24:54.Horne. He said, Naga and Pasha, tango to mission impossible was a
:24:55. > :25:00.mission well done, it was thrilling, truly an amazing tango. Thank you!
:25:01. > :25:05.Thank you for that. How thrilled were you with Naga's performance? It
:25:06. > :25:10.was amazing, especially knowing we couldn't unbuckle. I wanted to know
:25:11. > :25:13.what would happen next, would she be there where she was supposed to be
:25:14. > :25:18.forward she try and lead me this time? She did the right thing so she
:25:19. > :25:27.was really good and she really gave a great performance. I have to say,
:25:28. > :25:32.your high score to date, Len said it was your best dance. Those marks
:25:33. > :25:36.must have done your confidence the world of good. When Len said I'm
:25:37. > :25:41.better than I think I am that made something click. You spend so much
:25:42. > :25:44.time comparing yourself to the others and the other scores and
:25:45. > :25:49.actually I'm starting from a really low base and I'm trying really hard.
:25:50. > :25:53.He is an amazing teacher and I just need to enjoy my progression and
:25:54. > :26:02.enjoy learning new things. When we go into a week and he says Lockstep,
:26:03. > :26:06.and I'm like, what? Certainly. I get it now, I can't do it brilliantly
:26:07. > :26:08.but we are learning and I'm just going to enjoy my progression rather
:26:09. > :26:13.than worrying about how everyone else is doing. When you go in on a
:26:14. > :26:18.Friday and see everyone else perform and you think, my goodness, they are
:26:19. > :26:22.doing this and a backflip, so believe in yourself, it is
:26:23. > :26:25.brilliant. Bruno said a little bit about losing focus. Is this
:26:26. > :26:34.something you are aware of, Pasha? We're working on focusing, focusing
:26:35. > :26:38.on me, she was focusing on me and then on herself, that is what Bruno
:26:39. > :26:45.saw. This time it's all about me. He beat that into me occasionally. I
:26:46. > :26:49.have brought a special stick. You have a special stick? I don't want
:26:50. > :26:53.to know what goes on! This week, the charleston. So much character. Are
:26:54. > :26:59.you looking forward to it? So much fun. There is lots going on and
:27:00. > :27:03.Pasha is a brilliant choreographer anyway and he has put loads into
:27:04. > :27:08.this. We are working really hard. One of the things I've got to do is
:27:09. > :27:12.just the crisp with the steps and absolutely know that choreography.
:27:13. > :27:18.Nothing is going to happen, nothing bad will happen. Nothing will
:27:19. > :27:24.happen. There are no harnesses. You will not be attached to anything.
:27:25. > :27:29.You could spin around... Don't put anything! She's talking with
:27:30. > :27:35.confidence, Pasha, and it's obviously working. Keep it going for
:27:36. > :27:39.Saturday night. What can you tell us about this charleston, Pasha? Well,
:27:40. > :27:48.we are going to do our first lifts on this show. Oh! We haven't done
:27:49. > :27:56.any before this and it's going to be fun. I'm frightened. He is strong,
:27:57. > :28:00.he's used to this. That's what I'm doing for a living, lifting! You've
:28:01. > :28:03.had some amazing charlestons in the past, King Billy, Caroline, what is
:28:04. > :28:10.it about the character of the stance that you love very much? You do love
:28:11. > :28:15.it. It is so much fun and I think I'm such a performer. When you do a
:28:16. > :28:18.dance like this people are loving it and I love it even more when they
:28:19. > :28:24.are loving it and they love it even more because I'm loving it... And
:28:25. > :28:28.it's just an endless circle of love! Constant love. Hopefully I will
:28:29. > :28:30.share the love. I hope it will be brilliant. Good luck with your
:28:31. > :28:32.charleston, Naga and Pasha. A big thank to you
:28:33. > :28:36.to all our guests. I'll be back here at 6:30pm
:28:37. > :28:39.tomorrow with Danny and Oti, Plus, Ian Waite will be
:28:40. > :28:44.here for a traditional See you then.
:28:45. > :28:47.Goodnight.
