Here is the first performance of Barnum from the British championships in 1982. you will see that some of the moves they used later at the Worlds are not quite the same. Commentary by Alan Weeks.

I remember holding my breath for almost the entire time during the finals in 1984 and 40 years later that sequence is no less breathtaking! Ice dance perfection.

This was the first version of the routine, performed in November 1982. Between then and the Europeans, the couple worked on polishing and improving the routine. It was while practicing a cartwheel for the opening sequence that Jayne had a bad fall which meant they had to withdraw from the Europeans, so the routine was not seen again between the British championships and the Worlds in Helsinki the following March. The first time I saw it my jaw dropped open at the new lifts and flips.

Costume change too. I never noticed this before. Jayne clearly not comfortable with that dress

Interesting to see original programme! Something I have noticed when looking back to Torvill and Dean and, I think, other skaters at that time - the minute they finished their performance, they bowed to the audience, not kiss and hug each other first! More of a polished finish I think!

Jayne made two mistakes. They are so perfect it's freaky. 2:41 and at 4:22 Jayne almost fell. She must have been ill. Chris is not happy at the end. You can see it. However, they can both fall and they would do it so well, I would give them a 10. It's amazing how they just keep going on, and how Chris grabs her. You can barely notice anything. I love them.

@alexac3098 3 жыл бұрын

I'm rereading the Hennessy biography - she wasn't ill, she was unprepared for how her costume would feel during the routine. Right from the beginning, she felt like it was in danger of slipping off one shoulder or the other, and it made her very cautious - and Chris somehow picked up on that too. You can see her fiddling with it when they're in the kiss and cry. I came to rewatch this vid to see, and I hadn't realized previously that indeed changes were made to her dress by Worlds. A bit more of her back was covered, the shoulders came up higher, and there was a deeper v neckline on the dress she wore at Worlds. Guess they didn't do full dress rehearsals back then.

@shockwave1126 3 жыл бұрын

4:04-4:08, good angle to see the move. Most other performances you see the move with Jane in front and was always hard to fully appreciate what they were doing. Just fantastic.

@quillerpen 3 жыл бұрын

That's because at the World Chps (they didn't compete art the Europeans because of Jayne's injury) they cameras were on the wrong side of the rink (i.e. not the side the judges were sitting). If you look at my 'Torvill & Dean Barnum practice' clip you'll see Barnum as it SHOULD be seen

@szqsk8 the commentator is the late and much-missed Alan Weeks who did most of the commentaries for the BBC in the 1970s/1980s. He retired after T/D won the Olympics in 1984, saying he couldn't think of a better way of going out.

Thanks, he was super but I think he did continue after 1984, he was there in Copenhagen 1994 when they made their comeback.

5.9 is great but ridiculous, should be 6 across the whole board, nobody else came close to T&D. Saw them live at Nottingham as I lived there then, they were breathtaking.

@quillerpen 3 ай бұрын

I think because it was the British championships, the judges were more critical. Also remember this was early in the season (November) and T&D did make several improvements to the programme before the Worlds the following March

Does anyone know why the britsih version was made slightly differently to everywhere else they performed it? Its nice but I feel the other routine, matched the music better and was more entertaining, it had that wicked lift at the end, and this one is flatter. Just curious.

@kevinlongman007 6 жыл бұрын

mammy83 They always worked on improving their dances between the British championships and World's. They usually tweaked parts of the routine but in 1994 they changed 80% of Lets Face The Music and Dance for the Winter Olympics after only just winning the gold at the Europeans.

@alexac3098 3 жыл бұрын

Dances were always a work in progress throughout the season. Even Bolero was different in its first incarnation. There was only one dance that was never changed from the beginning of the season to the end, and that's Mack and Mabel.

There was also a fall when Chris dropped Jayne during a lift at a practice session, resulting in a shoulder injury for Jayne that kept them out of competition for some weeks
