:00:51. > :00:55.From London, this is Strictly - It Takes Two will stop please welcome
:00:56. > :00:59.your host, so we ball. We're slowly creeping
:01:00. > :01:04.towards Halloween weekend. To get you in the mood,
:01:05. > :01:06.we'll be revealing some frighteningly good songs
:01:07. > :01:09.in Tunes on Tuesday. Natalie Lowe returns for more
:01:10. > :01:13.Choreography Corner. But let's see who's
:01:14. > :01:17.lurking in the green room. They've quickstepped
:01:18. > :01:19.across town to be here tonight, And they managed to survive
:01:20. > :01:32.the dreaded dance off, Now, seeing as you're both "fit
:01:33. > :01:40.as a fiddle and ready for love," how about you peg it over
:01:41. > :01:43.to the studio for a chat. In the meantime here's another look
:01:44. > :01:57.at their cheeky Charleston. I thought it was massively
:01:58. > :02:04.entertaining. You speeded up in the middle and managed to keep up. The
:02:05. > :02:08.recipe was missing ingredients. You actually looked nervous. You were in
:02:09. > :02:22.perfect time and I loved the slapstick ending. Simon and Karen!
:02:23. > :02:28.Can I say, as beautiful as your outfits are, I am sad you are not in
:02:29. > :02:35.matching outfits. It went to the dry cleaner. I loved it. I thought if I
:02:36. > :02:45.look like you tonight, I should dance like you. Your second
:02:46. > :02:51.dance-off, you have done it before. I actually like a dance-off. We are
:02:52. > :02:58.hoping for that every week! It is weird. It felt different. You know
:02:59. > :03:03.the emotion, you think we have to focus. You did what you do and you
:03:04. > :03:09.did it well. Karen, many Couples with the same score. People
:03:10. > :03:14.thinking, this could be tricky. It could have been anybody. It did look
:03:15. > :03:21.weird, seeing all the 16s. At the same time, it is one of those things
:03:22. > :03:26.you access and say, if it is asked, it is us, and we will go out and do
:03:27. > :03:32.our best. And we were excited because we saw it again and it was
:03:33. > :03:39.joyous. I always feel for the couple who stays in because you cannot be
:03:40. > :03:44.like that because your friend is going home. I said I have won the
:03:45. > :03:49.lumbering old bloke glitterball because there was Richard Brian and
:03:50. > :03:54.me, the old guys, and I am the last one standing but it is a shame
:03:55. > :03:59.because Brian is fun, a proper laugh. I will miss him terribly. It
:04:00. > :04:04.is strange to hear people say that but you get close and it feels odd
:04:05. > :04:09.when one of you has gone. The swivel. Your Achilles' heel, you
:04:10. > :04:20.Paul Nuttall. And they said practice on the other leg. It was good. The
:04:21. > :04:24.judges give good advice before and we said let's give it a go and we
:04:25. > :04:38.practised beforehand. There was a bit of swivel. Let it shake! It is
:04:39. > :04:42.hard to master. Extremely hard. Go home now, get on your toes, and
:04:43. > :04:54.bring your heels together and try to go back and forward. Why are you
:04:55. > :05:01.better than me?. Bad. Craig pointed out that what you lack in swivel, he
:05:02. > :05:07.loved the slapstick. Well done. Was that a joy? It was fun will stop my
:05:08. > :05:13.favourite dance we have done. And when Karen jumps on my back at the
:05:14. > :05:21.end, we could not stop laughing. It made us laugh nonstop and I loved
:05:22. > :05:28.it. It was so much fun. We had crazy eyes, our eyes opened up. It was
:05:29. > :05:32.insane, we really loved it. Speaking of crazy eyes, eagle eyed viewers
:05:33. > :05:41.may have spotted Karen tucking into an unusual snack. The woman, is
:05:42. > :05:50.there anything you will not eat? You are brilliant. I love flowers.
:05:51. > :05:57.Edible flowers. Not edible flowers. She will eat what ever it is. There
:05:58. > :06:02.was a slip in the dance-off. Did you think, curtains. I do not know why,
:06:03. > :06:10.we have done it many times but I slipped. I am happy I did not miss a
:06:11. > :06:17.beat. I had no idea. I saw his face and he was like... And I was like,
:06:18. > :06:21.something must have happened. I do not know that smile, we did not
:06:22. > :06:29.practice batsman! But he went through with it like a pro. This is
:06:30. > :06:38.good. Progress. Like when a child has done something. You have your
:06:39. > :06:47.thigh strapped up. What has happened? That is from the slip and
:06:48. > :06:52.I have pain in my quad. The lovely physio Doug strapped me up to keep
:06:53. > :06:59.the muscle in place and hopefully it will sort itself out. Thank goodness
:07:00. > :07:04.for Doug. It is tough because these guys have not danced before and the
:07:05. > :07:08.muscular... It is pretty intense on your muscles and if something like
:07:09. > :07:15.that happens it is hard to recover but hopefully you will be OK.
:07:16. > :07:21.Fingers crossed. What ever it takes, Simon. We are brave soldiers. You
:07:22. > :07:25.will get a treat at the end of the show. The Viennese waltz on
:07:26. > :07:35.Halloween. To a Tom Jones classic. Delilah.
:07:36. > :07:41.# My, my, my Delilah. Have you been able to train with your leg? No, it
:07:42. > :07:48.has to calm down. That is the only thing. We have not been able to
:07:49. > :07:53.start because it has to be eased. Does it worry you? A little bit
:07:54. > :07:58.because it will leave us two days but he is a hard worker and focused
:07:59. > :08:07.so I am OK for now. She seems very calm. Will there be food involved in
:08:08. > :08:18.this routine? How did you know? I figured. Yes, we will have a
:08:19. > :08:23.banquet. Feasting. There will be one sandwich left by the time she has
:08:24. > :08:31.got at it in rehearsal. Good luck. Well done on getting through to
:08:32. > :08:32.Halloween. Simon and Karen. CHEERING Thank goodness for Doug.
:08:33. > :08:35.Now, Halloween week is arguably the greatest of all theme weeks,
:08:36. > :08:39.which means we've got the playlist to match - as the youth would say,
:08:40. > :08:48.It's time for a spooky edition of Tunes on Tuesday.
:08:49. > :09:01.# They did the monster mash. I love this one. The jukebox,
:09:02. > :09:02.covered in cobwebs. We have a week of this. Let's hope it is still
:09:03. > :09:03.working. Released in 1985, it was the group's
:09:04. > :09:12.only UK number one, spending four And can you guess which famous
:09:13. > :09:24.Frankie the song was about? Not Frank Bruno, not Frankie
:09:25. > :09:26.Dettori. Who's hoping to dance
:09:27. > :09:33.a memorable routine to this? It's Debbie and Giovanni,
:09:34. > :09:46.who are dancing the Charleston. Right, what's next
:09:47. > :09:52.on the Halloween soundtrack? It's the theme from popular
:09:53. > :10:03.'60s sitcom Bewitched, about a witch who's married
:10:04. > :10:06.to an ordinary man, but simply can't Star of the show Elizabeth
:10:07. > :10:13.Montgomery was famed You'll see that her nose isn't
:10:14. > :10:29.really moving - it's her mouth. But who will be hoping to create
:10:30. > :10:33.dance magic with this It's Killer Queen
:10:34. > :10:54.by who else, Queen. Released in 1974, it reached number
:10:55. > :11:02.two in the UK charts. Now, did you know Freddie Mercury
:11:03. > :11:06.was a cat person and over the years shared his home with a number
:11:07. > :11:13.of feline friends? He couldn't bear to be apart
:11:14. > :11:19.from them and while touring the world he'd regularly
:11:20. > :11:22.call his house in order to speak But who's hoping to be the cat's
:11:23. > :11:36.pyjamas with this song on Saturday? To find out the rest of the songs,
:11:37. > :11:56.head to the Strictly website. Now, it's always a treat,
:11:57. > :11:58.it's time to see how rehearsals are going for this
:11:59. > :12:13.weekend's group number. Somebody help me. Please, help me.
:12:14. > :12:23.It is Halloween week. This is the stuff of nightmares. Watch out, if
:12:24. > :12:27.you dare. The concept is somebody whose dreams turn to nightmares and
:12:28. > :12:35.it starts with Brendan alone in his bedroom and something happens. We
:12:36. > :12:39.are hiding under the bed. Me and Chloe and Katya and Karen and as
:12:40. > :12:45.Brendan falls asleep, we become his worst nightmare. I am the Gothic
:12:46. > :12:53.prince. The rest are like Demons in my head. Weirdly, I am lying down
:12:54. > :12:58.asleep. Maybe they aren't trying to tell me something. This piece is a
:12:59. > :13:03.continuation of last year when Brenton took Karen away from Kevin
:13:04. > :13:08.and now Karen gets her revenge. I have come back to haunt Brendan
:13:09. > :13:14.Cole, he took me away from my lover, and now I am back for revenge. There
:13:15. > :13:21.is a tingling moment in the number. The cast of dancers, we throw our
:13:22. > :13:27.hands in the air and it is powerful to watch. That is all we can show.
:13:28. > :13:29.But do not be scared. Ghosts are not real.
:13:30. > :13:33.APPLAUSE Now, as you may have heard,
:13:34. > :13:35.the theme for this year's BBC Children In Need
:13:36. > :13:37.Strictly Special is... But there's one thing more sought
:13:38. > :13:44.after than a Blue Peter badge, and that's a Pudsey glitterball
:13:45. > :13:48.trophy. Now, we can exclusively reveal
:13:49. > :13:54.which couples will be taking part. Let's start with with '90s
:13:55. > :14:00.heart-throb Tim Vincent. In his Blue Peter heyday,
:14:01. > :14:02.he helped paint the Blackpool But who will be his
:14:03. > :14:06.partner in the ballroom? The longest-serving female presenter
:14:07. > :14:17.in Blue Peter history. It's AJ's professional
:14:18. > :14:36.partner Chloe Hewitt. It's pancake-tossing supremo
:14:37. > :14:45.Diane-Louise Jordan. Has anyone on telly ever worn a pair
:14:46. > :15:03.of specs quite so well? And Mark will be dancing
:15:04. > :15:06.with the lovely Amy. And finally, creator
:15:07. > :15:12.of Thunderbirds' Tracy Island, the most popular Blue Peter
:15:13. > :15:16.make of all time. And good luck to all our
:15:17. > :15:26.Blue Peter legends. Make sure you watch Children in Need
:15:27. > :15:30.night on Friday 17th November, to find out who will lift
:15:31. > :15:34.the Pudsey Glitterball Trophy. Now, I don't know about you,
:15:35. > :15:37.but I'm just about ready for another helping
:15:38. > :16:07.of Choreography Corner. Hello, gorgeous. Let's start today
:16:08. > :16:13.with roller-coaster Job, whose paso doble got a ten from Shirley. It's
:16:14. > :16:18.never too early. She said it was the best male paso doble we have seen on
:16:19. > :16:22.the series so far. Would you agree? Absolutely. The content and
:16:23. > :16:29.choreography was so, men treated Joe. Look at the shaping through the
:16:30. > :16:35.body. And the intensity in his face is really perfect. I genuinely enjoy
:16:36. > :16:45.this, I wanted to watch it over and over again. He taped catty's body
:16:46. > :16:51.perfectly. He was wearing Neil's jacket. Loving the head, Craig
:16:52. > :16:58.didn't quite know how to judge this, he said it was more a spoof. It was
:16:59. > :17:06.quite Lloris, what did you think about the samba? One word, wow. One
:17:07. > :17:13.word, pants. Anton, of course, is going to do it. He has done it time
:17:14. > :17:20.and again. I love it! I can't stop laughing... not laughing, smiling.
:17:21. > :17:28.There were a lot of the same variations, volta 's and Botafogos.
:17:29. > :17:31.I would like to see him tidy up the footwork. Craig might have been more
:17:32. > :17:37.comp entry had she mailed the basic action more. But very entertaining,
:17:38. > :17:41.she loved it, smiling and beaming, and that is what she is about. It is
:17:42. > :17:45.exactly that. I watched with a friend who had not watched the show
:17:46. > :17:49.before, she didn't know what was going on. It was like they were in
:17:50. > :17:54.Brazil. Of course! Mollie and AJ, their Viennese waltz really charmed
:17:55. > :18:02.the judges. Were you swept away? I was. All the elements came together,
:18:03. > :18:09.the lighting, the costume, the choreography. I loved it. The single
:18:10. > :18:13.pivoting action, four changes of direction here. I think she is
:18:14. > :18:18.absolutely gorgeous. I really genuinely loved this dance, it was
:18:19. > :18:23.one of my favourite songs of all time. And I think she is going to do
:18:24. > :18:27.really well. I think she's going to keep improving every week, I can see
:18:28. > :18:32.her blossoming, and I love that. Good work, Mollie. Onto Susan's
:18:33. > :18:38.cha-cha-cha. She was as committed as ever. The judges said the technique
:18:39. > :18:42.suffered a little bit. Were you impressed with the amount of dance
:18:43. > :18:47.content? Absolutely. The basics were there. But I agree with the judges,
:18:48. > :18:50.there can be more technique involved. In cha-cha, you shouldn't
:18:51. > :18:57.pick your feet up off the floor. You guide your feet through, a little
:18:58. > :19:03.bit of stamping action as well. But I love how much she gives it, and
:19:04. > :19:07.she is so entertaining as well. I think she has lots of great energy.
:19:08. > :19:14.Great energy. She really commits. And I love that. You don't know
:19:15. > :19:20.exactly what you are doing, but you throw yourself into it 100%, and
:19:21. > :19:24.that is a rare quality. I love it. Good lass. Gemma's foxtrot, she has
:19:25. > :19:32.an amazing ability to switch from fierce and powerful to elegant,
:19:33. > :19:35.romantic and classic. Like Craig said, do the front runners need to
:19:36. > :19:40.look behind them here? Is she catching them? There are a futile
:19:41. > :19:47.courses in this competition, Mollie and Gemma are definitely in the
:19:48. > :19:52.running for this. I always love Aljaz's choreography, two double
:19:53. > :19:55.fall aways there. She is concentrating on the neckline and
:19:56. > :20:01.upper body. I would like to see Gemma connect more with her face to
:20:02. > :20:05.the dance, the music, and Aljaz, so there is more storytelling there.
:20:06. > :20:09.That would take her to another level. But she is absolutely a dark
:20:10. > :20:14.horse, a powerhouse. It is nice that she can balance the two answers,
:20:15. > :20:19.powerful with elegant and graceful. I think she is very classy. A real
:20:20. > :20:28.classy one. Finally, Aston's waltz with a contemporary, twist. Darcey
:20:29. > :20:32.thought it was over detail, what did you think? I was mesmerised. When I
:20:33. > :20:37.started watching the dance, I thought, wow, I loved the beginning.
:20:38. > :20:41.Continuing with the feeling at the beginning throughout the waltz
:20:42. > :20:45.section, that would have been beautiful. Once he did take hold,
:20:46. > :20:54.and he did do the waltz moments, it was a bit too powerful for the
:20:55. > :21:00.waltz. It needs to be more graceful, slower, more feet and leg action,
:21:01. > :21:03.more pressure through the floor. I thought the waltz section let him
:21:04. > :21:09.down a little bit, it was a little bit too brushed for me. But I loved
:21:10. > :21:18.the beginning, the end, and I loved her in it. She is gorgeous. You
:21:19. > :21:24.can't leave without demo time! What do people want? What we saw
:21:25. > :21:30.with Aston, he was going to go into a throwaway. You need an opposing
:21:31. > :21:35.head weight. The gorgeous Ian Waite talk about the flour and the vase.
:21:36. > :21:40.He loves that term. The guys need to talk about that as well. As she goes
:21:41. > :21:45.through, neutral, Aston needs to think about doing also the opposite,
:21:46. > :21:51.so you have an opposing head weight as Janette goes here, Aston also
:21:52. > :21:58.needs to do the counterbalance. And as she comes back, and outcome he
:21:59. > :22:02.needs to do that. At the moment, he is there. I want to see a lot more
:22:03. > :22:07.extension through the neckline. APPLAUSE
:22:08. > :22:10.A beautiful thing. It has been so good to have you back.
:22:11. > :22:16.Give it up for Natalie Lowe! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
:22:17. > :22:18.Now, it's never too early for viewer questions for Shirley.
:22:19. > :22:21.Yes, the mighty Ballas returns to It Takes Two this Friday.
:22:22. > :22:25.So, if there's a question you've always wanted to ask
:22:26. > :22:31.our new head judge, you can email us at ittakestwo@bbc.co.uk or tweet
:22:32. > :22:35.us using the hashtag, #ItTakesTwo. Details are on screen now!
:22:36. > :22:37.My final guests swept across the Strictly supermarket
:22:38. > :22:51.We'd put them straight in our basket, it's Jonnie and Oti!
:22:52. > :22:58.All the elements of dance are coming together, I'm pleased to say.
:22:59. > :23:03.To travel with speed, it was like, you achieved so much detail.
:23:04. > :23:05.You didn't miss a beat, you made no mistakes, you were outstanding.
:23:06. > :23:25.My, goodness! You closed the show, how was the very long wait, Jonnie,
:23:26. > :23:29.to going on? It was intense. Very intense. There was a bit of panic
:23:30. > :23:33.setting in. Where does the panic come from, is it waiting, seeing
:23:34. > :23:43.other scores going up? They come from our dress rehearsal! Really?! A
:23:44. > :23:48.good one?? A great one. The worst one ever. I forgot the choreography,
:23:49. > :23:56.me, the person who made it. I went, "Where are we? Why am I a? " All I
:23:57. > :24:07.saw was Jonnie lifting me, and five, six, seven, Oti. I was, like, what
:24:08. > :24:12.is going on? I forgot it backstage as well. I forget two elements. It
:24:13. > :24:18.is all in the first eight seconds, as soon as we got to that part, we
:24:19. > :24:21.knew, let's have fun with it. That is the thing. You can torture
:24:22. > :24:27.yourself with it, I am not going to remember it, and sometimes it comes
:24:28. > :24:33.back. It doesn't always! First night, how did that feel? So good.
:24:34. > :24:39.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE So good because we made a couple of
:24:40. > :24:44.small mistakes. In general, it went really well. I love these dancers,
:24:45. > :24:48.because I can enjoy them. I enjoy dances that put a smile on my face.
:24:49. > :24:53.Craig might have thought I was acting, but you just get to have fun
:24:54. > :24:54.with it. Natalie was saying that on Choreography Corner, with the
:24:55. > :24:55.quickstep, you can just have fun. Former contestant Chizzy
:24:56. > :24:57.said online, "All brilliant, but my vote tonight goes to
:24:58. > :25:01.Jonnie Peacock and Oti Mabuse. Plus, I'd like to be Oti
:25:02. > :25:16.when I grow up." Aww, she is a sister from another
:25:17. > :25:17.Mr. OK, so we go to Halloween. For you two, it is a cha-cha-cha to Olly
:25:18. > :25:37.Murs. Let's hear it. It's too fast. You got it right. The
:25:38. > :25:41.song is too fast. This dance looks simple enough, but it really does
:25:42. > :25:46.cause celebrities quite a lot of grief, this one. Why? I think it's
:25:47. > :25:52.the speed, the change of timings, we have different rhythms in the
:25:53. > :25:57.cha-cha-cha. You have two also add a lot of personality, the rhythmic and
:25:58. > :26:01.looked like a man. Most of the time, when they move, they lose the
:26:02. > :26:05.tension in the body, and that is difficult, and remembering all the
:26:06. > :26:13.steps and speed, and smiling... Stop! Stop! That is all in one step!
:26:14. > :26:20.Have you had any practice of this yet, Jonnie? Yes. We had a go. This
:26:21. > :26:28.is the first dance where my hips have to move. I haven't ever seen my
:26:29. > :26:34.hips move! LAUGHTER Tune in on Saturday night.
:26:35. > :26:39.Will we get to see your hips move, Oti? Yes, we were doing it and I
:26:40. > :26:45.expect it. I explained it technically and he did it. I was
:26:46. > :26:52.Armalite... Did you have a moment? He looked at me, "Why are you
:26:53. > :26:58.looking at because Mac" that knowing look from Oti.
:26:59. > :27:04.What is the concept? It is Halloween, outfits, storyline...
:27:05. > :27:09.what can you tell us? We want to go crazy and have fun with this one.
:27:10. > :27:19.There might be a nautical theme. Sailors, possibly? I'm going to be a
:27:20. > :27:24.shark. As a pro, Oti, how much do you all enjoy Halloween, you guys?
