Wow. Vernon Kay? He must have moderated his relatively thick northern (English) accent for US audiences I'd imagine! BTW Dancing on Ice - the not-Dancing-with-the-Stars spin-off that still runs here - might not achieve the audience figures of the ballroom show, but it does pretty well otherwise. So I wouldn't say that the format is utterly without merit. ABC wouldn't be trying it otherwise. That said, I'd never watch it! Adam -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
