:00:14. > :00:21.It ace Friday. Coming up on tonight's show, I'll be dropping in
:00:21. > :00:25.on rehearsals to ask Rory and Erin what they have in store.
:00:25. > :00:32.Chelsee and Pasha and Russell and Flavia will be here. Ann Widdecombe
:00:32. > :00:42.will be here alongside the gorgeous Tom Ellis, and everyone's favourite

:01:09. > :01:15.singing sensation, Chris de Burgh. Live from Television Centre, this
:01:15. > :01:20.is strictly, It Takes Two. Here's Zoe.
:01:20. > :01:27.Hello. Hello, hello and welcome to It
:01:27. > :01:32.Takes Two. There are only 23 hour, 53 minutes and 44 seconds before
:01:32. > :01:35.our next Strictly extrave begansy. 12 couples will perform 11
:01:35. > :01:39.different dances as the competition continues. I can barely cope with
:01:39. > :01:44.the excitement. In a moment, I'll be joined by Russell and Flavia,
:01:44. > :01:54.who proved they can play with the big boys when their foxtrot brought
:01:54. > :01:55.
:01:55. > :02:01.a smile to all the judges' faces. It was a very good foxtrot. Showbiz
:02:01. > :02:10.- Broadway, ballroom, what can't Russell do? You are my guilty
:02:10. > :02:17.pleasure. Russell, you is the -- you have the sunshine. This week
:02:17. > :02:22.you put the show in showbiz. Thank you. I found it nerve-racking.
:02:22. > :02:26.It is not the kind of dance I am used to. You are as good in the
:02:26. > :02:36.Latin as you are in the ballroom. He was worried about the ballroom.
:02:36. > :02:37.
:02:37. > :02:44.If she's happy, I'm happy and we They are everybody's guilty
:02:44. > :02:48.plesshush, please welcome Russell and -- pleasure. Please welcome
:02:48. > :02:51.Russell and Flavia. Russell, there is no doubt you are giving
:02:51. > :02:55.everything to your performances. We love it. Were you thrilled with the
:02:55. > :03:01.scores? I don't know about the scores. I don't remember the scores.
:03:01. > :03:10.I remember the comments. I love the judges. What about Craig? What did
:03:10. > :03:14.Craig say? Six. No, I don't think about scores. Butch - yeah!
:03:14. > :03:18.We will talk about that in a moment. The judges always say how
:03:18. > :03:25.entertaining you are. We know, from watching your training, that Flavia
:03:25. > :03:32.puts you through your paces with your steps. It's great. Do you
:03:32. > :03:39.think you are contenders for that trophy now? No, because I'm 60. I
:03:39. > :03:44.could drop down dead tomorrow. Don't say that. You are young.
:03:44. > :03:48.I couldn't go on without you. Please at least make it to the
:03:48. > :03:52.final. You have huge support from your family and friends. The people
:03:52. > :03:56.out there, the great British public have been absolutely amazing. I
:03:56. > :04:00.can't believe it really. I came back here just to do a bit of a
:04:00. > :04:07.dance and I end up being followed around all the supermarkets. I was
:04:07. > :04:11.about to name all the brands there. This is the BBC. You'll get a free
:04:11. > :04:17.shop each week. Talking of bands, it has been a theme on the series.
:04:17. > :04:21.Jason danced with two. This week you've been dancing with a fan
:04:21. > :04:26.called Margaret. Well I don't know it myself. I'm learning it. Will
:04:26. > :04:31.you learn with me now? Well, you want to do a tango. Do
:04:31. > :04:35.you know how to do one? Come on then.
:04:35. > :04:41.This is it. This is going to be, this is the
:04:41. > :04:45.new tango. This is it.
:04:45. > :04:49.Margaret - if you're watching the show, good evening. She just
:04:50. > :04:54.wondered in to see you. We were just rehearsing. In the middle of
:04:54. > :05:00.something. Came in, dumped her shopping. She said, "I wanted to
:05:00. > :05:05.see you love." She said, "He's a good boy, he's a Christian."
:05:05. > :05:10.wanted to take you home. She did. Did she give you any tips? She said
:05:10. > :05:14.get out of town quickly before you try and act butch!
:05:14. > :05:18.Margaret was very butch, do you think, compared to me? Let's talk
:05:18. > :05:23.about the tango, which you're doing this week. You're dancing to this
:05:23. > :05:31.music. # Sweet dreams are made of this
:05:31. > :05:39.# Who am I to disagree # Can we see your tango face? Give us a flash.
:05:39. > :05:46.What camera? Any one will do. over to number three.
:05:46. > :05:51.I'm pursing my lips. The kiss. Oh, that's good! And the
:05:51. > :05:55.Vincent one eyebrow. Good luck with that tomorrow. Good luck with it,
:05:55. > :06:00.you're right. It's not going to hold up. Craig said he wanted to
:06:00. > :06:05.see you being more masculine on the dance floor. Flavia is laughing.
:06:05. > :06:15.How are you doing with that? Are you working on that masculinety for
:06:15. > :06:15.
:06:15. > :06:22.your tango? No. Frankie, "no." has all the butch men who can
:06:22. > :06:25.fulfil his fantasys, but I ain't one of them. That's told him! You
:06:25. > :06:31.have invented a tango character friend to help you with your
:06:31. > :06:36.performance tomorrow. What is his name? Arro Grant. What star sign is
:06:36. > :06:46.he? I think he'd have to be something like skorppi yo probably.
:06:46. > :06:49.A sting in the -- Scopio. A sting in the old tail. Ian Waite was here.
:06:49. > :06:54.He spotted that you may possibly be doing something that's never been
:06:54. > :06:59.done on Strictly before. I don't know if I've got the termology
:06:59. > :07:02.right, reversing the hold, is that right? It's not happening this
:07:02. > :07:07.weekend,, but it's happening. fans will see it. It will happen,
:07:07. > :07:15.it will happen. And we do everything for our fans. You do?
:07:15. > :07:23.do a little bit for you, that is the only reason I brought it out.
:07:23. > :07:29.It is matching. It matches your jacket. I will say, Russell and
:07:29. > :07:34.Flavia good luck for tomorrow. Oh, look by the way 23 hours 47
:07:34. > :07:39.minutes and 39 seconds to go. Despite a knock to her head hours
:07:39. > :07:42.before the live show on Saturday Chelsee and Pasha powered on
:07:42. > :07:49.through and performed an impressive cha-cha-cha. Let's have a reminder
:07:49. > :07:54.of the action last weekend. Cheese! You come out and you sell a dance
:07:54. > :08:00.and you're on your way to being excellent. It was very haphazard,
:08:00. > :08:04.very hit and miss and just too disco. You are a joy to watch. I
:08:04. > :08:14.love watching you dance. Cha-cha- cha is designed as cheeky, saucy,
:08:14. > :08:15.
:08:15. > :08:19.playful. You have all of that, you little tease.
:08:19. > :08:24.Len gave me an eight. I am absolutely made up. That is the
:08:24. > :08:34.highest score he's given me yet. It means a lot. He said give it wellly.
:08:34. > :08:44.Is it wellly? Yes, it's welly! Give it up for Chelsee and Pasha. I
:08:44. > :08:44.
:08:44. > :08:48.do love the way you say, "Welly." You banged your head last weekend?
:08:48. > :08:54.Yes, we were going outside, being naughty. Yeah? Because he told us
:08:54. > :09:00.not to go in and we had to go into the stairs. So we've been going
:09:00. > :09:06.outside. As I was laughing, going like that. And I've turned around
:09:06. > :09:11.and it's gone bang on my head. will teach you for hanging out
:09:11. > :09:16.being naughty with Harry. Was there a drama. You had to change your
:09:16. > :09:20.hair to hide the bruise. They had to give me a comb over. You would
:09:20. > :09:26.never have known because your performance was lovely on Saturday.
:09:26. > :09:31.Did you enjoy it. Do you know, I couldn't even remember it. Don't
:09:31. > :09:36.think about bruises like that. it was fine. I really enjoyed it.
:09:36. > :09:41.You did enjoy it? This weekend, the quickstep - how's the training been
:09:41. > :09:45.going this week? Quick. That is why it's called that! The thing is,
:09:45. > :09:50.Pasha, you put a lot of steps in for Chelsee because you know she
:09:50. > :09:56.can do it? She's quite talented. I think it's always good to challenge
:09:56. > :10:01.her a little bit, so she wouldn't be too bored. I don't get bored. I
:10:01. > :10:07.wish he would not challenge me as much because I think it's hard.
:10:08. > :10:17.you get that thing of going "It's too hard. I can't do it." He's like,
:10:18. > :10:23."You can do it." One of my favourite tunes. Sing, Sing, Sing.
:10:23. > :10:28.Why did you choose this? It is a classic. Very powerful. I wanted
:10:28. > :10:33.Chelsee to have this big band sound. That is what she got. We had a
:10:33. > :10:39.sneaky look at a sketch of your outfit for tomorrow. Lovely hats.
:10:39. > :10:44.You have a Britney style air hose tes. We saw some props. I'm loving
:10:44. > :10:49.all the props. What have you found the most difficult about the
:10:49. > :10:59.quickstep, Chelsee? Just how quick it is. Getting the steps in because
:10:59. > :11:03.
:11:03. > :11:08.it's so quick. What am I like? I'm like running around like a head --
:11:08. > :11:14.headless chicken: He says there is a lot to work on, because it's
:11:15. > :11:19.tomorrow. I don't want to panic you? We have 23 hours. Yes. I want
:11:19. > :11:22.you to know you are not the only person who struggles getting
:11:22. > :11:27.Chelsee to concentrate over the years. We managed to get hold of
:11:28. > :11:32.her school report. Here we have it. Is this a joke? It is true. From
:11:32. > :11:37.your form teacher, from year seven. Cheel see is a lively member of the
:11:37. > :11:42.form. She must learn when to -- Chelsee is a lively member of the
:11:43. > :11:46.form. She must learn when to chatter and when to work. More work.
:11:46. > :11:50.In technology a similar thing. Chelsee must try and concentrate
:11:50. > :11:55.more carefully. Finally in science, Chelsee usually works well, but is
:11:55. > :12:01.prone to chatting and suffers from lack of concentration. I see, so
:12:01. > :12:06.you have a long history. When did you get that? We cannot tell you.
:12:06. > :12:10.That is sneaky. You can take that with you. I reckon you'll find that
:12:10. > :12:15.is like a lot of people's school reports. Len was here on the show
:12:15. > :12:19.last week. He said, when we put him on the spot, we asked who was the
:12:19. > :12:25.dark horse who could win this competition. He said you. What do
:12:25. > :12:31.you think about that? That's a good comment. I don't know whether I am
:12:31. > :12:34.the dark horse. I don't reckon I am. I'm just trying everything.
:12:34. > :12:39.last-minute rituals the day before you dance? Anything you do before
:12:39. > :12:46.you go to bed? A nice hot bath. Chill out. And no messing about
:12:46. > :12:50.with Harry tonight. I think I've learn my lesson.
:12:50. > :12:54.luck tomorrow. We know it will be fabulous. Chelsee and Pasha.
:12:54. > :13:04.Thank you. Thank you so much. time we have a list on the what you
:13:04. > :13:07.
:13:07. > :13:12.have said about our couples this Hi, I wanted to say Harry looked
:13:12. > :13:18.saucy on Saturday night and he should have got the park of Danny
:13:18. > :13:22.in the school production. Ali from Hitchin. Did anybody notice Robbie
:13:22. > :13:30.practicing his moves while Anton and Nancy were getting their
:13:30. > :13:34.feedback from the judges? It was so sweet. He looked so nervous. When
:13:34. > :13:44.the phone lines opened Brendan got excited and started to dance like a
:13:44. > :13:44.
:13:44. > :13:48.monkey. Leave Robbie Savage's hair alone.
:13:48. > :13:52.That's his trademark. He's gorgeous as he is.
:13:52. > :13:57.We were only mucking about, Jenny. Just a bit of fun. Let us know what
:13:57. > :14:05.you think of the dances and the judges' comments this weekend. You
:14:05. > :14:10.can phone us: Calls cost 10p from BT land lines,
:14:10. > :14:14.other networks may vary and calls from mobiles will cost considerably
:14:14. > :14:24.more. Lines are open 24-7 and we will play the best ones on Monday.
:14:24. > :14:26.
:14:26. > :14:30.It is that time of the show where I get a chance to have a gossip our
:14:30. > :14:40.celebrity fans. Welcome Tom Ellis and is it a bird, is it a plane? No
:14:40. > :14:46.
:14:46. > :14:51.it's the return of our very own Ann Welcome, what a lovely Friday panel
:14:51. > :14:59.to have. How are you enjoying this series? He I haven't seen any of
:14:59. > :15:04.it! I thought that was a joke. have just finished a tour last week.
:15:04. > :15:08.Saturday was my birthday and I was out with my family. I spent the
:15:08. > :15:13.whole week talking about my album but I have been reading all the
:15:13. > :15:17.stuff and I have been watching last week so I am excited to be here.
:15:17. > :15:24.will put it to the test. We are going to talk about Nancy and Anton
:15:25. > :15:31.first. They are doing the Paso this week. And, what advice would you
:15:31. > :15:39.give to Nancy about dealing with Anton? A at least she can dance,
:15:39. > :15:44.which is more than I could! I think she will have to deal with him in a
:15:44. > :15:51.slightly different way. I think it is more Anton who we need advice on
:15:51. > :15:57.how to deal with Nancy. Tom, you are currently playing at teacher,
:15:57. > :16:05.could we ever persuade you to go on the dancefloor of Strictly? We know
:16:05. > :16:10.you can dance. I do like to dance, my wife calls me that John Cleese
:16:11. > :16:20.of the dancefloor. I have a lot of admiration for people who do this
:16:21. > :16:21.
:16:21. > :16:27.show. What do you think about Nancy's Paso because you need
:16:27. > :16:32.acting skills for that, don't you? She definitely has the passion
:16:32. > :16:37.there, she's a red-blooded Italian woman. Do you hold out hope for
:16:37. > :16:41.this performance tomorrow night? She was unlucky in the first week
:16:41. > :16:50.with her wardrobe malfunction but she is getting better and better
:16:50. > :16:58.and Anton is a great teacher. and Brendan are doing the samba
:16:59. > :17:05.this week. Is this a good choice? This is a greater choice of music
:17:05. > :17:13.and she looks pretty good there. She is a lovely mover. I have met
:17:13. > :17:20.her before and I think she's got a great chance. The samba is a party
:17:20. > :17:24.dancer, does it look as if she's having a party there? It I was
:17:24. > :17:28.disappointed in the first leg because I thought she didn't do as
:17:28. > :17:33.well as I thought but she has come on in leaps and bounds. That is
:17:33. > :17:41.what the fans like to see. Improvement. Alex and James are
:17:41. > :17:51.doing the wrong but this week, the dance of love. You did this dance
:17:51. > :17:56.
:17:56. > :18:01.to the Titanic theme. She's wearing a cat suit. What do you think about
:18:01. > :18:08.Alex's rumba there? I think Alex is the person who has improved the
:18:08. > :18:12.most. I think she might struggle a little bit because her trouble is
:18:12. > :18:22.her a fluidity. I love how much you know about this show, it's
:18:22. > :18:24.
:18:24. > :18:31.brilliant! Have you watched the way this guy moods? The physically, she
:18:31. > :18:37.struggles with the fluidity and I think it will expose her. But it is
:18:37. > :18:44.James's favourite dance. So, she stands a chance. If any of the
:18:44. > :18:52.judges are sick, Tom, you are on the panel! Harry is doing the walls
:18:52. > :18:58.this week. How do you think this music will help hurry? I have heard
:18:58. > :19:08.this music in restaurants all over the world. May I also point out
:19:08. > :19:18.that I have been waiting by the phone, waiting to be asked on the
:19:18. > :19:20.
:19:20. > :19:27.show. Do you mean, asked to dance on the show? On the show. Let's
:19:27. > :19:30.look at Audley Harrison, he will be doing the foxtrot. He has been in
:19:31. > :19:35.the bottom two but he came back fighting last week, how do you
:19:35. > :19:41.think he can do with the foxtrot this week? The foxtrot is actually
:19:41. > :19:44.quite a difficult dance. Your partner clings on like mad and
:19:44. > :19:50.pursue in the right direction but it is quite complicated and think
:19:50. > :19:54.it will be quite testing. Have you been impressed by a Audley Harrison
:19:54. > :19:58.so far? You cannot fault his enthusiasm, he is loving it. It has
:19:58. > :20:04.got to be hard for someone of his size to have that lightness in his
:20:04. > :20:13.feet but having said that, last week he did well with the Quickstep.
:20:13. > :20:23.He has size 17 ft which is enormous. Holly is doing the Viennese waltz
:20:23. > :20:24.
:20:24. > :20:34.this week. What do you think of her? I had seen some of this one.
:20:34. > :20:36.
:20:36. > :20:42.How do you think she is doing? is very light on her feet. She
:20:42. > :20:47.looks very light. Are you looking forward to seeing Holly doing
:20:47. > :20:51.something more traditional, rather than something saucy which is what
:20:51. > :20:54.she has been doing in the last few weeks. Obviously the dancers have
:20:54. > :20:58.to be able to do both and do boat to a high standard but it is always
:20:58. > :21:04.nice when you see somebody who has done one thing, suddenly have to
:21:04. > :21:08.switch to the other. The stance is quite complicated, it has some
:21:08. > :21:14.complicated footwork. I was very relieved not to have to do it.
:21:14. > :21:22.Maybe if you have a nice word with Chris De Burgh, he might dance you
:21:22. > :21:31.around the studio! One word from all of you, who you think will win?
:21:31. > :21:40.I want and on to win. Jason Donovan. The winner this year will be
:21:40. > :21:46.Antipodean, that is all I am saying. Our Friday panel! Next, I will be
:21:46. > :21:53.in the studio to speak to Rory and Erin but first, are Strictly
:21:53. > :21:57.couples are falling head over heels in love with dancing.
:21:57. > :22:03.Dancing is much more difficult than you think but I do love it, it
:22:03. > :22:07.brings me such happiness. I have always wanted to dance but I didn't
:22:07. > :22:13.think I would be able to do it. You don't know what you can do until
:22:13. > :22:18.you have tried it. I am really, really loving it and I hope I can
:22:18. > :22:22.go as far as possible. I didn't think I would get as passionate as
:22:23. > :22:27.this. The sense of achievement is fantastic. Every week, you start by
:22:28. > :22:31.thinking, I cannot do it and by the end of the we, you can. It is quite
:22:31. > :22:34.tough because every week you have to learn something different. The
:22:34. > :22:39.more you practise, the more you get there and of course, I want to
:22:39. > :22:44.learn more. It's a bit of a love, hate relationship because there is
:22:44. > :22:48.a mountain to climb each week but it is addictive. I would never have
:22:48. > :22:53.thought that I would get such a kick out of it. Even though it is
:22:53. > :22:59.hard and I struggle, it is something that my body really loves.
:23:00. > :23:04.I definitely want to keep learning. If I do something, I want to do it
:23:04. > :23:08.to the best of my ability. I am having the time of my life, I want
:23:08. > :23:11.to learn and improve and get as much as what I can't out of the
:23:11. > :23:14.competition. I didn't think I would be able to cope with the pressure
:23:14. > :23:20.but if you go for it and believe in yourself, you can achieve almost
:23:20. > :23:24.anything. It is the hardest thing, ever, but I literally can say I
:23:24. > :23:29.have loved every single day. It is everything I thought it would be,
:23:29. > :23:39.and more. If I left the competition now, I would be devastated, I would
:23:39. > :23:41.
:23:41. > :23:44.miss it so much. I have fallen in love with it.
:23:44. > :23:47.This is where Dave and his fantastic Strictly Come Dancing
:23:47. > :23:54.band sit at the singers and every Friday, each couple will get about
