Torvill & Dean Putting on the ritz




Title:
Torvill & Dean Putting on the ritz

Description:
This number has a slightly unusual history. When Mack & Mabel hit the public eye, one of the British tabloid newspapers commented on its 'Fred Astaire' qualities and got T&D to dress as Fred & Ginger for a photo shoot (on the ice). Intrigued by this, they decided to choreograph a number to go with it, though the outfits needed a bit of modification!

Torvill and Dean Barnum practice
Most recordings of Barnum are from the 1983 World championships, but the organizers of that event obviously didn't know much about skating because the first thing I noticed when I arrived there was that the cameras were on the wrong side of the arena (ie the opposite side to where the judges sit). Barnum is a piece that needs to be seen from the front. So here, recorded at a practice session, is Barnum as you have probably never seen it before. Apologies for the slight glitch in the sound at ...
