Dancing on Ice New Series

Thanks. I might watch it. Torvill and Dean are always so encouraging.

Yes. I love T & D.
Jason Donovan has got off to a good start.

Yep I am watching it in the kitchen whilst trying a new recipe (recipe for disaster ). It’s just a brief desperately needed escape from all that’s going on in the world

I'm watching, I love the programme and am waiting to see how Colin Jackson does as he's such a lovely man with the nicest smile that would brighten anyone's day.
Jason Donovan did well too.

I’m watching , I’m nervous about all those sharp blades and slippy ice !
Yes Jason did good

The young guy from Emmerdale in the red sparkly suit did well too, even though he did fall over.

The one thing I can't watch is when they do the headbanger, even if it's the professionals as they did in the opening sequence. Personally I think the headbanger should be banned. It's not even nice to watch.

Denise was brave to skate tonight after a nasty injury. If it were me, I'd be terrified I'd fall on it again.

I don't like those headbangers either and have to look away.

Nobody does the " Proud Mary " dance like Tina Turner though, ice or not.

You're right. Hard to follow something so iconic.

I still laugh at the thought of Todd Carty dancing off the ice and through the back unable to stop. It was hilarious.

Haha! Yes, I'm smiling just reading your post. It was classic.

Yes, I really enjoyed watching. It is cheering to see, especially during these tough times. It'll keep us going for several weeks.

I agree with you Sparklefizz about the headbanger bit, had me gasping in the opening sequence by the pro-ice-dancers.!

You had me chuckling too, EllanVannin, about the Todd Carty memory..!!

i wish they would ban the headbanger aswell, it absolutely ruins the program

the todd carty thing was the funniest thing ever

DoI on again tonight. I read online that that guy Rufus Hound is having to isolate so won't be appearing, plus he has also made some disastrous and very unpleasant tweets apparently, so may not be coming back at all.

I couldn't understand why he was given that "gold ticket" thing last week to allow him to go straight through without a vote. I didn't think he was particularly good.

Anyone watching?

Yes, I've been watching and like you couldn't understand that skater getting the golden ticket either. I thought at least it would have been the last contestant.

It's like last weeks skate off which I thought was unfair as that little rapper girl was good.

Oh Yes! I'm watching again! I'm enjoying it, as always.

I do agree with you both, ElanVannin & Sparklefizz.

I lose all interest when this sort of thing happens.

Faye and Hamish were absolutely brilliant, weren't they? The thing is, she had confidence to try more things because of skating experience as a child.

It's on again tonight.
I gather that 3 celebs won't be appearing for various reasons, so I wonder how they will fill the programme.

Another enjoyable watch for me tonight.
Sparklefizz, they filled the programme well, I thought.
I had thought that Jason may have been in the dance-off, & so he would have been the one to go home....

I enjoyed it again and was glad to see Colin go through, he's such a pleasant bod with a lovely smile.

Colin’s skate was so good, and he doesn’t look any older than he did when he took part in Strictly years ago.
