Strictly on ice

So Torvill and Dean want  to do ‘Strictly’, a bit of a shoe- in I would have thought given their qualities as choreographers and the poise and elegance they still exhibit on the ice.

I can already imagine the frantic conversations in the BBC production office. Undoubtedly there will need to be some form of handicapping to give other celebrities a chance. Perhaps they will have to do lifts and throws – They already do lifts and throws. What about spins on the ground, or in the air? They already do those. How about  no hands? A regular part of their routine. Well they will have to dance backwards then. Done it, and at speed. We can't have them do it blindfold, health and safety will be on our backs. Oh well, we’ll just have to pair them off with Ann Widdecombe and John Sargent.
