I didn't find anything

in the cupboard at all.

Never mind. I'll just go stir up

the cabbage stew then.

("Strictly Come Dancing"

Theme plays)

Oh!

Now, Mikey, please rip the

cellophane off the dip assortment.

With pleasure, lady.

Saturday night has begun.

Mum? Shh! It's started.

But it's only the titles bit.

Still! Shh.

Hush!

Dad,

can I go to Granny's

again tonight?

Are you sure?

I suppose I could drive

you round after the show.

Your mother and I could enjoy

a little...paso doble.

Let me give her a call.

How long does it take...?

Oh, hello, Mother!

Ben was wondering if he could

come over later.

Oh, really?

All right. Goodbye then.

Sorry, son,

she said she's going out.

What? But she never goes out.

Silence!

Please.

Flavio is on.

And now let's have a quick chat

with our red hot Latin lover,

Flavio Flavioli.

'Thanks, Claudia.

This evening I am ready to rumba!'

'Ladies, things are really going

to hot up this week.

'Oh, yes, it's a scorchie,

scorchie, burn up the floor!'

No!

Down here. Cameras. What on earth

do you think you're doing?

What are you doing, more like?

I asked first.

I followed you.

I found the biscuit tin.

The one with the j... You mustn't

say a word about that tin.

Or what you saw here tonight.

Promise?

Promise?!

Promise. On one condition.

You have to tell me everything.

Come round tomorrow.

Make sure nobody follows you.

But before three.

It's mobile library day.

OK, Gran.

But...

Gran?

Are you OK, Ben?

We heard a lot of noise.

And why is the window open?

Have you been out?

Of course not.

Well, what have you been doing?

Um, dancing?

My man-to-man chat worked.

As I knew it would.

Yeah, I was really inspired

by whatever it was you said.

I just had to give it a go.

He's got it now.

He's got the bug.

Open the Asti Spumante.

Our boy is going to be a dancer.

Come here, son.

I'm so proud of you.

Yeah. Oh, no, that is a shame.

Oh, how awful.

Yeah, yeah, no,

I'll pass that on right away.

OK, ta-ta.

Ben, I have good news.

I have amazing news.

I have sensational news.

Which would you like first?

Er, the good news?

Ricky Diamond came off

his skateboard yesterday -

broke all his arms and legs!

Are you sure that's the good news?

Yes!

Because it brings us

to the amazing news. Now,

Florence Star

needs a new partner for...

..the Junior Regional

Ballroom Championships!

I don't think I'm ready

for a competition just yet.

Modest. Yes.

The judges will lap it up.

OK. What's the sensational news?

Flavio.

He's got a new puppy!

Aww-w-w-w-w!

You didn't say it was THAT Ben.

He'd better be as good

as you say he is, Linda.

Dancing is in his blood.
