@brett18uk perhaps you were watching footage from their Olympic performance? This one is from Worlds, in Ottawa. Same string of 6.0's at the end, but different event & performance.
The best ice dance ever; so elegant and timeless. These two deserve their legend. I love Jayne's petiteness and grace; and the dress was also fabulous.
My be I am a little bias, but hands down I have never seen another couple skate so graceful and on point with the music. I get that ice skating has changed, but now it is a bit too rough for me. Torvill and Dean are set in stone.
They danced as one. Elegant and classy.I saw them in person in Toledo in 1985 and I had chills running up my spine. We could hear their blades slicing the ice.
There is an indelible impression of flight in the way they move across the ice as one. It would be a brave (and heartless) judge who didn't award a 6. For some of us, Bolero is always purple and lasts only four and a half minutes.
It was also a kinder and more innocent time, when we found it easy to say 'Great Britain' and when perfection (not banality) was applauded.
I become overwhelmed with emotion whenever I watch this clip showing how 2 people can work together for a common goal as if they are just one. It makes me proud to be British
I wouldn't want to be the couple that had to come out and skate after this!

On the American footage (available on Youtube), they are still on the ice when the marks are announced. I'm confused!!!

How did anyone have the hubris to give them 5.9's? Stunningly beautiful.

Thank you-I don't believe there have ever been 2 dancers who more truly danced as one. Beautiful.

This was the best ice dancing I had ever seen at the time and in 2010 it still is the greatest I have ever seen. Thanks Vienna for this video.

And if you look at the Paso Doble that is just as magical. Every move Jayne makes is exquiste in that one, it is a masterpiece.

Wasn't this the one that was delayed due to a power cut? I seem to remember staying up until about 2am with Mum and Dad (in England) to watch it.
