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.

1982 all those years ago today 2023 and I still smile whenever I watch this xxx

This is quite simply the greatest isn’t it , choreography is breathtaking, Mack and Mabel soundtrack is superb, i watched this when they first performed it and it remains a pivotal moment in ice dance , everything they do is magical and their contribution to sport is second to none 🥰❤️🥰

Wiping tears away watching this due to the pure art of it. How did they get that good? The skill and chemistry is such a one off in the history of any sport

Elegant, witty and flawless. They are still the best there has been.

Watching in 2022 and still in awe

Still gives me goose bumps watching it nearly 40 years later. Just brilliant!

You will never see better than these two.

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.💕

This program never gets old...brilliant in '82-brilliant in 2020

Sheer class. They're still unbeatable.

wonderful ice dancers still today but these two broke the mould and no one will ever touch them , they changed their sport,

This is still my favourite routine of theirs. I just love Mac 'n Mabel. They captured the era of silent movies perfectly. All 6's should've been given. It was perfect.

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." Thank you for posting this.

Superb skating, musicality, choreography

There is not a leg line out of place, everything is perfect, so innovative and the wonderful Alan Weeks commenting. 38 years later this is fresh and original. "Oh my goodness"! as Mr Weeks says!

I never stop watching them, they just cheer me up....oh the good times...

Everything flows so perfectly, so seamlessly, they were in a class of their own.

This is still INCREDIBLE! I was only 8 at the time and remember it so well. What is so extraordinary is their chemistry. Watching it now it’s hasn’t dated in terms of skill and artistry.

Other worldly....why isn't ice dance like this anymore? So lucky to be alive to have seen all these performances xx

What a surprise the USSR judge didn’t give a 6.0 ! They were fantastic,. Best ice dance pair ever in my opinion

Absolutely amazing, no one can ever touch them even today. They're unique in every way. Just so magnificent , I can watch them all day.

Two words describe it - pure genius.

I loved seeing their happiness with their 6’s. They deserve it, how hard they worked .

As always, great program........Jane forever classy in her costume choices.

I watch them every single day, you would wonder I don’t tire of them, but I never do, their artistry is above and beyond anyone else and they just make me happy. I wish I could meet them if only to see them once in my life. Going through Covid and staying indoors for this year has been hard on us all but I thank God I can immerse myself in the beauty T and D create.

I watch Chris and Jayne dancing every day ~ even multiple times. They are the absolute best ever, and I’ll never tire of seeing their amazing artistry and beautiful relationship.

Pure geniuses they are amazing today as they were then, beautiful xx

I've been watching them on You Tube for an hour or two almost every day. Love them.

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.

am still watching

Absolutely breathtaking ❤❤❤

I love everything about this performance!

Thank you for posting such a nice copy of this routine, including the scores.

Still enchanting. They were perfection. Brought back times of fun and pleasant times.

I forgot how closely they skated together in this routine. A breakthrough masterpiece! Sharing on our Facebook page.

❤ The first time I watched this and boy brought a tear to my eye 😢 they are more than brilliant best ever and now in there,60's still perform brilliantly ❤

They really were perfection.

Great !!! Difficult and fun, so perfect so torvill and Dean !!!

Thank you so much for this!! My other channel (D D Jay) has the World's FD but, yes, I think this is even better than it was at World's. My goodness, the innovation, execution, flair and drama, even after all these years, is breathtaking. Thank you again.

Captivating every time you watch it. And I can't stop watching it.

Such a beautiful performance and their faces at the end are adorable. Thank you for posting this. Our toddler daughter wore out my tapes watching Torvill and Dean.

Всё в них идеально, - и техника, и артистизм, скольжение...Пара лучшая из лучших...Блистательные и непревзойдённые.Талант, помноженный на огромный труд...Замечательная и прекрасная Бети Калоуэй...Браво !!!

CONGRATULATIONS!! You deserved it. You earned it.

Best ice dancers ever-love this and Barnum

How delightful to see this. I'd heard about this FD but never seen it before due to an idiotic TV station in my city that didn't carry the CBS broadcasts of international figure skating events in the early 80's. Classic ice dancing and not mini-pairs as we have now.

Замечательный танец. Высокая скорость. Очень интересные шаги. Настоящие мастера.

Beautifully skated & marvellous set of marks!

Thanks for posting this! I could watch them all day!

Чудесно и кинематографично. Каждый жест точен!!!!!! Это сплошной восторг!

Уникальная пара! Смотрится великолепно ДО СИХ ПОР!!! Полный восторг!

Великолепная пара, на все времена! Чудесное владение коньком!

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx fell in love with these two

Take my advice and put it at 1.5x speed. The most breathtaking sight of your life.

Flawless. Just stunning 🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Couple admirable! C' est merveileux! Quelle harmony!

Величайшие навсегда!

Brilliant a class act and still going strong.

I saw Jayne and Chris perform live in the nineties. They were magnificent, and they came over to chat to the audience after. Lovely, down-to-earth couple. And Jayne is so petite and slim, and I thought she looked very like Leslie Caron.

As with all of Torvill and the Dean skates...show me anyone else who could do these dances...on ice skayes!...and so beautifully!!!

Самые лучшие Джейн и Крис.

Thank you so much Flo! ☺ This was the better performance, and Chris's jacket stayed buttoned up. Lovely camera angles and more intimately covered. Before I had a VCR so this is a real gem for me to watch. At St Ivel Alan Weeks called it "a mini operetta", this, along with their Blues OSP which John Curry (also at St Ivel) described as "the most beautiful thing I've ever seen", what a glorious season that was! 👏 And for many of us, our fave FD. 💕💟

Великие и единственные.

The applause is always high .

This remains my favorite Torvill & Dean - yes, even above Bolero - and a dance that pretty much resurrected a Broadway flop musical.

Absolutely fantabulous.

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.😢

I really think this one is my favourite

I agree. LOVE them. They are AMAZING. xxx.

Soviet judge....that still is the shocker....such beauty, so lucky to have been able to see this. xxx. thanks for posting.

Stylish and beautiful

Thank you

Alan Weekes was a great commentator

¡Genial! ¡Incomparables!

And remember Betty Callaway heirs coach too...but always to watch, never dates

It is way past time that Chris was knighted and Jayne made a Lady or Dame Im not sure what the appropriate accolade is? Lady Jayne Torvill and Sir Christopher Dean sounds much better!

Brilliant!

This is the far better video, and thanks for sharing it. All the footage from Copenhagen is SO DARK! Did they not have lights in that arena? This is my second favorite T&D FD; my favorite is the following year, to Barnum.

wow magic x brilliant x x

Wow

Still the best.

❤️❤️

Fantastic-such a great skill just to avoid each others' skates.

Super bravo!
