Dancing on (thin) ice

Channel 9's offering of Torvill and Dean's Dancing on Ice - which I have yet to see - is now being billed thus: "It's live and it's dangerous". It certainly is - with several of the contestants sidelined with injuries of varying severity. The show itself isn't faring much better with lower-than-hoped for ratings in its first two outings. Ah well, maybe their advertising will help lift the numbers - if viewers aren't interested in the grace of ice skating, maybe the possibility of carnage will draw them in.
