Dancing on ice 2009

[JennyWrenn]

You can watch it on iplayer also ;D

[Ladygardener]

I thought iplayer was only bbc programmes jennywren, I'll have to have a look see.
Juliet I'll see if it's on here sat am then thanks.

[JennyWrenn]

I think for ITV then you can watch on www.itv.com/catchup

I was forgetting DOI was not BBC

[Ladygardener]

Thanks very much for that link JW

[Juliet]

Todd Carty



I don't think I've ever laughed until I cried at a TV programme before.

His "skating" is still truly appalling, but I bet he'll get a lot of sympathy votes again, just because he was so funny

[JennyWrenn]

I agree Juliet - I almost choked to death laughing as it made me cough - I dont know how the judges didnt have the vapours

Oh I do hope he is in next week - he is just so hilarious - that is the sort of thing you can think about when you feel down - it will never fail to make you laugh ;D ;D ;D

Here it is to watch again - in fact I am going to vote for him I want more of this

[farmersboy]

Who went off last night,hope it wasnt Todd,

[JennyWrenn]

Well I was too late to vote but it appeared the public were unanimous and Todd is still in ;D

[Ladygardener]

He was so funny I could'nt stop laughing, what a sport he is. ;D

[carolann]

Goooooooooooooooooooo Tucker. OH was having a shower so missed it, just shown him what happened via your link Jenny he was killing himself laughing. I could'nt get motivated watching this series but after last night will be glued just to watch what Todd gets up to.

[Tig]

Todd was hilarious! Thanks for the link Jenny, I watched it twice over and was still laughing ;D

Earlier yesterday I watched the European ice dance championships - I thought the Kerrs were amazing!! They won GB a bronze, it was an excellent performance!

I knew it would affect how I viewed the celebs efforts on DoI

He was so funny last night i was in tears to Juliet.I havent laughed so much for a long time.

[Plocket]

Poor Todd! I think they guy just gets points for effort!!!

[Barbara]

His expression kills me, he looks spaced out when theyre telling him anything.

[JennyWrenn]

I wonder if he is glad he wasnt voted out - I notice he skates with just one foot too ie keeping one foot on the ice and pushing off with just one foot

He is a trouper have to say that ;D

I watched a lot of the European figure skating too - the Kerrs were very good, weren't they? Did you see the Italian who got a silver in the men's as well? - he did a wonderful themed programme to the music from Once Upon A Time In The West. I always like the ones where they really interpret the music and don't just dance to it, if you see what I mean - I suppose that's one reason why Torvill and Dean were so good.

I was really cross with Eurosport on Sunday though - tennis over-ran by three and a half hours, so they only showed about 20 minutes of the skating gala! I wouldn't have minded so much if they'd said "if anyone has turned on for the skating, this is the day/time it will be repeated", but all they kept saying was "the tennis is over-running so subsequent programming will change" - I could see that! I didn't want to sit and watch tennis all afternoon, just waiting to find out about the skating gala - I had intended to video it!

[Ladygardener]

Juliet I could'nt agree with you more, I was nearly going to write on the winge thread how annoyed I was.
I was off last week and watched all the european figure skating, I was so impressed at how high the standard was, despite all the accidents. I could'nt belive how much John and Sinead Kerr had improved, they showed real presence on the ice, smashing and well done to them getting bronze.

[Juliet]

I think highlights of the gala are going to be repeated at various times through the week, LNG - Eurosport's own website is worse than useless, but I looked at the Radio Times website yesterday & it seems to think there are bits of gala on - the only thing is, the programmes are different lengths, so I imagine they'll show slightly edited highlights one day and rather more edited ones on the other days - or, of course, the RT could be wrong & they're just showing highlights of some of the championships. I'd post a link to the info. but I can only get it to show with my login details, but it says:
Wednesday 28th 8.45-9.45pm
Thursday 29th Jan 5.30-7.00pm
Saturday 31st Jan 7.30-8.30pm
and if you click on any of them they say action from the exhibition event. Thought I would try to record it Thursday.

[Missredhead]

I almost wet myself watching Todd....he is the John Sargeant of DOI

[Ladygardener]

Juliet thanks very much for posting those times,I did'nt know they were repeating the gala, I don't buy the tv papers so I'll keep an eye on eurosport, I'm off this week.

[JennyWrenn]

Going back to Todd - I am wondering if they have put him in to create this sort of interest - ie a John Seargent model - he is just so bad he can hardly skate but just so hilarious - cant wait for Sunday
;D

[farmersboy]

It was very funny,and i cant wait till the next installment,but i read in the paper that someone thought it was,"better than sex" what sort of sex have they been having,if there is anything better in this world than sex,i have yet to sample it ;D

LNG - if you're about - just turned on Eurosport to set video and it's now saying 5.00 today for figure skating! It's following tennis again though, so we'll see ...

[Ladygardener]

Thanks I've just turened over and it's already on Juliet . They do seem to be off with their timings that's for sure. Hope you get to see some.

[Juliet]

Not the gala though - they seem to be repeating the lower groups of the ice dance

I do wish they had some concept of scheduling

[Ladygardener]

I see that now Juliet, all I saw when I turned over were 2 people dancing, now I'm seeing it's the competition. For goodness sake what are they like.

[JennyWrenn]

Well Todd is still in it - have to say I look forwards to his antics - he reminds me of Bambi ;D

Melinda looked very pretty last night but once again in the skate-off

IMO she is too gushing - she seems to be a really nice person but I think the public would warm to her more if she held back a bit

Ray was like this to begin with and has now cooled down

"Im 'umble Marster Copperfield" is a good ploy

[Tig]

;D Shame Michael left - he was very brave giving it a second go after his broken ankle last year (no sympathy the British public!) I did think he looked a bit podgy last night - p'raps thats why the laydees didn't bother voting for him?

Melindas improved performance in the skate-off kept her in - but for how long???
