Dancing on Ice returns

Skating with the Stars may have had troubles getting off the ground in the US. Battle of tha Blades has had two successful seasons in Canada. But the british version of celebrities-learning-to-skate-with-professionals is roaring into it's 6th series tonight.

The series features Torville & Dean as coaches and joint-hosts and Robin Cousins as head judge. As with all these shows, the celebrities are rather B-list,  but it's all in the name of fun TV. The 2 finallists skate their own version of Bolero each year in an homage to T&D
