Just over a year ago, Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean announced their return to competitive skating, nearly a decade after their triumph at the 1984 Sarajevo Winter
Olympics. In September, a BBC crew joined them as they began the intricate and exhausting task of re-creating the magic that made them famous: training, choreographing, arranging and recording music, deciding on costumes, and running the gauntlet of publicity.
The film is produced by Edward Mirzoeff who, among many other major documentaries, was responsible for Elizabeth R , shown to mark the 40th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne.
Radio microphones record the stresses and strains of rehearsal, while the camera crew film the behind-the-scenes emotions that an expectant public never sees. Through the National Championships in Sheffield, the European
Championships in Copenhagen and finally the Olympics at the Hamar stadium, Torvill and Dean can be seen enjoying the success and suffering the pitfalls of their return to the ice.
