Of which half were REPEATED in the skate off.
There's was less than 20 minutes of skating from the celebrities supposedly dancing on ice.

The rest was yap,yap, yap from the judges and the professional routines and guests.

It's lost something special this series.
I was pleased when it was brought back years ago but this series it has looked rather jaded
It's actually been harder viewing than enjoyable viewing.

If it's going to continue, it needs a change to stop being about the guests and a chest show for the judges.
With more skating or the programme reduced as to running time.
It a show I've loved and enjoyed.
Somehow not this series however.
It hasn't even stirred up much interaction on here this season either.
Something is going badly wrong in my view with a show that should be compulsive viewing considering all the other tripe on TV at present.

I'm not even sure I'll bother to watch the final.
Which used to be a must do for me.

I just watch the routines and mute everything else.
