Having the audience laughing from joy and delight is really rare in competitive figure skating - they showed a talent not many skaters were able to develop. They were a very good match, both in appearance and ability. Their synchronicity is amazing.

I this this particular performance was the best Karen & Nicky ever gave. Someone who was there that night told me that the whole audience was so 'charged up' with emotion from watching T/D's Bolero, that this piece was the perfect follow-on, and Nicky and Karen responded to the audience feedback and gave the performance of their lives.

that was such a fantastic routine and I often watch it. Such a pity they didn't get higher marks as it was well worth it. I am glad to see her training on Dancing on Ice, pity Nicki is no longer on the programme. They were such fantastic ice skaters.

Always remember this was So Good had they not been up against T&D they could have had some 1sts. Think judging was way down, but we all now know that judging then could be a little bit dodgy & they prob didn't like 2 UK pairs being that good! After all that time I still think it is superb. At least they did get a 3rd which is way better than many.

They should have come second this year. This routine was only bettered by Torvill & Dean, but I think they were always in the shadow of Jayne & Chris and consequently got unfairly marked down by the judges!

This was a crowd pleasing routine, i can remember seeing them do this and felt that they were robbed of points.They were a very good team and this Chaplin theme has been used by others since then but they were not this entertaining.Nicky commentates on Eurosport with Chris Howarth and they humoorous in their comments as well knowledgable.

They were better than the American couples who finished ahead of them. Probably not as good as Bestemianova/Bukin or Klimova/Ponomarkenko but it was a golden age of ice dancing. The top 7 or 8 couples of that time are probably amongst the top 20 best of all time....

They wanted to be the next Torvill and Dean (or maybe it was what British public wanted) but they never had talent, determination and probably also work ethic of T&D.

@npe1 I agree but I think the majority of the viewers will be disgusted by what Jason Gardiner had to say. Glad that a very high percentage were on Karens side as it was completely uncalled for. Nice to know that Karen is now dating Chris Dean. Surprised he didn't go and smack Jason in the face when the comment was made!! no not really, too much of a gentleman.
