  • For some reason this performance isn't as well publicised as their Copenhagen one but it's brilliant and so are the marks! Still, after all these years, Mack & Mabel is my favourite T&D FD.

    Who is still watching this 40 years later and wishing they could go back to more innocent times?> - this dance is timeless and still the best of Torvill and Dean.

    I never tire of watching this. It is one of my favourite Torville and Dean routines. Love it, the music the Choreography, costumes the whole thing. They are IMO the most brilliantand best ice dancers of all time. Robbed of a second gold medal due to a illegal lift that really wasn't.💕

    Loved the theme and storyline of this FD. The costuming was brilliant. The technical skill was amazing, I get dizzy watching the number of hand/dance holds. And, the execution was most definitely 6.0. Nothing to say but "simply the best."

    And this is when they changed ice dancing programmes forever. Instead of excerpts from different pieces of music of varying tempo, with no underlying theme or story, T&D used one piece of music and dramatic storytelling. Such wonderful innovators.

    I was KRAZY about them for 35 years and watched them all the time. I had a mega crush on Chris.. and then I met them. They were really haughty and Chris thinks he grew up in NottingHAM . He also feels American audiences are more sophisticated . I was heartbroken. I cannot deny they will never be bettered as ice dancers when they were at their peak but I don't watch them purposefully now . I hadn't looked for years when this came up on my feed . I have them in my soul but my heart is jaded about them now.😢
