00:00Alex Kingston and her partner, Johannes Radeveld.
00:07I thought I was prepared,
00:09but I realised that I am massively out of my comfort zone.
00:14Do you think I go to the village shop dressed like this?
00:17I don't think so.
00:22You are an actor as well as a dancer.
00:24Oi.
00:26What do you mean?
00:27I still have to remind myself of that now and then.
00:29You understand my soul.
00:32Alex Kingston.
00:33She's the person that we look up to for fabulosity.
00:36I love that word.
00:38Absolutely.
00:39We're going to use that word all the time now.
00:48Oh, hello.
00:51She brought a friend who's going to scrutinise our dancing.
00:54His name is Wolfie.
00:56He's come to see his mummy dance for the first time.
00:59We are doing a Viennese waltz.
01:02Oh my word.
01:04To Michael Bublé, Cry Me A River.
01:07Can we please just listen to the music once and just feel it?
01:12Cry me a river.
01:14I like dogs.
01:17But I do prefer cats.
01:19Don't tell Alex.
01:21Cross.
01:23Heel side.
01:24Alex has taken to training like duck to water.
01:28We've developed a language that we both understand.
01:31My jigsaw's sticking to you.
01:33Plane.
01:34Yeah.
01:35Going to a plane higher.
01:36Because you see your window sill is very high.
01:37Those images help me remember my positioning.
01:41That's right.
01:42Was I sitting on the loo?
01:43A couple of times.
01:44A couple of times.
01:45So I feel quite confident about the routine now.
01:49Just excited to get onto the dance floor and show it to everybody.
01:57Dancing the Viennese waltz.
01:59Alex Kingston and Johannes Radeville.
02:11And now you say blue
02:20For being so untrue
02:24Well, you can cry me a river
02:30Cry me a river
02:35I can cry a river
02:38Over you
02:40Over you
02:41Say you love me but you lie
02:56Oh, you say you love me
03:17Well, just to prove that you do
03:24Come on and cry me a river
03:27Come on and cry me a river
03:30Oh, cry me a river
03:35I cried a river
03:39Over you
03:43Over you
03:47Wow, that's just wonderful!
03:51The drama!
03:53I love the drama.
03:57And you could not wait to come out here and perform that.
04:01Yes, I was doing it.
04:03I love the drama.
04:05I love the drama.
04:07I love the drama.
04:09I love the drama.
04:11I love the drama.
04:13And you could not wait to come out here and perform that.
04:15Yes, I was desperate to share it with everybody.
04:19We enjoyed every moment.
04:21Shirley, I hope you did too.
04:23Well, I think that was off to a great start.
04:25I mean, we saw some beautiful movement across the floor.
04:28Could have flew flat a little bit more, but you know what?
04:30For the first dance, I was very, very happy with that.
04:33Your passion and your intensity, the actress in you,
04:37the movements, the direct focus, all that I loved.
04:40Now, you're going to get lots more ballroom dancers.
04:43So, this little left hand that you have on Johannes,
04:46I want it to look...
04:47Can you stand up, Shirley?
04:48Yes, I most certainly can.
04:49A little bit like a butterfly.
04:51Don't hang on his arm, OK?
04:53And underneath, people used to call these my bingo wings.
04:56Whatever, whatever, whatever.
04:58But you can hold your lovely arms up and hold them yourself
05:01without pressing down a little bit.
05:03But you are doing extremely well.
05:06We said that, didn't we?
05:07Yeah.
05:08Very good.
05:09Well, thank you.
05:10Our head judge is happy.
05:12Aren't you happy, Anna?
05:13I felt I needed to stand for that moment.
05:15I'm glad you did.
05:17I must stand.
05:18I'm going to give you this one for...
05:19I'm going to give you this one this week,
05:21because it was really good.
05:23And, Johannes, you're very, very clever.
05:26You're very clever.
05:28Handsome.
05:29Handsome, talented, but also clever.
05:31But for this week, you can have that one for free.
05:34There wasn't quite enough in hold.
05:37Now, we're going to do more ball and dances.
05:40We'd like a little bit longer in hold,
05:42because the hold was good.
05:44You came out of it too soon and stayed out of it.
05:46I'd like to have seen a bit more in hold.
05:48Because as Shirley said, there's a lot to like.
05:51I love the atmosphere you created.
05:53I love the drama that you created.
05:55You gave a new feel to an old-fashioned dance,
05:57and I really, really enjoyed it.
05:59So, all in all, it was a super-duper Viennese Wolfs.
06:02Well done.
06:05Super-duper comments so far.
06:07Craig, don't spoil it.
06:08The shoulders, unfortunately, were raised.
06:10It was very lumpy for my liking.
06:13There was way too much rise and fall.
06:16It should be very limited,
06:18and you should try and dance this dance flat.
06:21But you know what I did love?
06:22The drama in it, because it was full of intent.
06:26Yes, we love drama.
06:28We love drama.
06:30Marty.
06:31You know, Alex, I love this combination.
06:34I love the both of you.
06:35You guys created something so special within a short space of time.
06:39So I'm really looking forward to see where this journey is going to.
06:43I think you moved like a slick fox.
06:47You came down those stairs.
06:49You were walking like there's nothing there.
06:51Yeah.
06:52You're like, oh, Johannes.
06:54And then you got together.
06:55It was smooth.
06:56You were so into it emotionally.
06:59You gave us a performance.
07:01Technique, technique, yes.
07:03But do not forget to dance like that every single time.
07:06Congrats.
07:07Congrats.
07:08Congrats.
07:09Congrats.
07:10Congrats.
07:11Week one, you've got to be very pleased with that.
07:13So well done.
07:14Thank you, Alex and Jojo.
07:16You've got to be happy with those comments.
07:32Yes, I am.
07:33I am.
07:34And they're constructive.
07:35Yes.
07:36So we've got something to work on.
07:37You are such a pair having the greatest time in training.
07:42You're using different phrases, aren't you?
07:44Tell me some of the phrases.
07:45Yes.
07:46Don't sit on the loo.
07:47Right.
07:48Is one of them in ballroom.
07:49Ever?
07:50Well, I mean, hopefully not ever.
07:52OK.
07:53But certainly when I'm dancing.
07:55When I'm dancing with Jojo, because in ballroom I tend to sort of sit down when I'm about
08:00to sort of do a natural move.
08:02OK.
08:03And it looks like I'm sitting on the toilet.
08:05OK.
08:06So.
08:07But you know I'd have asked something different.
08:09If I mean that was...
08:10You're having the time of your life, aren't you, Jojo?
08:11I absolutely am, my darling.
08:13I mean, she's introduced me to a few things.
08:15And I'm absolutely loving how we...
08:16The toilet?
08:19Not the toilet.
08:20But I've learned a new way of warming up.
08:22What do you?
08:23Play the music.
08:24Yeah.
08:25And just feel it and see where it takes you.
08:27Ooh.
08:28Yes, yes.
08:29We do sort of interpretive dance every week.
08:32I love that.
08:33Yes.
08:34I did that once in 1986.
08:35The scores are in.
08:37Will the judges please reveal their scores?
