You almost (almost!) feel sorry for the Executive Producers of this show.
They are saddled with a format that died a death many, many years ago, a dwindling pool of talent to call upon in terms of 'celebs' to stick on the ice, and you imagine more egos off camera to deal than you can swing a cat at.
And yet, they opt not to change things, hence my 'almost' earlier on. They make no changes to the format, or any attempt to improve the programme. Instead they seem to just carry on, year on year, in the desperate hope that the 'chemistry' between the hosts, or the 'celebs' and their pro partners (they can try all they like, nobody cares that they've been on the show for x,y or z years) will be enough.
It won't be, and it's the sheer waste of talent that for me makes this the worst show on telly.
