Bladerunners with Torvill and Dean
A profile of former Olympic ice-dance champions
Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean. The pair won Olympic gold and huge international acclaim in 1984, dancing to Ravel's
Bolero. More recently, Torvill and Dean have changed direction, pushing out the parameters of ice dance, exploring new possibilities and taking stylistic risks. Tonight's Omnibus examines their amateur successes, with extracts from Bolero and Mac and Mabel, looks at some more recent creations, and questions whether their mastery of the medium has elevated ice skating to an art form. To illustrate the innovative style of their latest work, Dean has choreographed a new piece, Ice Works, with music specially composed by Andy Sheppard. Producer Bob Portway Editor Andrew Snell
