Goodbye DOI
I watched from the 1st series and recall some memorable routines - though what we considered dangerous, exciting or moving back in 2006 seems very tame in 2014
Does anyone else recall:[LIST=1][LIST] [*]Series 1; Stefan Booth and Kristina Lenko - Mr. Bojangles; it was the first routine that completely captivated me. [*]Series 2. Claire and Andrei 'Since you been gone.' So disappointed that they didn't win. [*]Series 3. Suzanne - the finals; she and Matt held me spell bound that night. The best ever flying routine, the Music routine and Bolero - she hit her purple patch that night. [*]Series 4. Only one winner - Ray Quinn and spoilt for choice; Nothing's gonna stop us now.: Rock Around the Clock; Bailamos. Even then we knew we'd never see his like again. [*]Series 5. Gary Lucy and Hayley Tamaddon stood out as the best of a mediocre lot and I won't deny that first time around I was enchanted by J'ai Ho. [*]Series 6. I was a fan of Laura - but the routine that sticks in the memory is Sam's Riverdance. [*]Series 7. No one really excited me - but I must confess I was mesmerised by the beautiful lines created by Jennifer Ellison. [*]Series 8. Memorable for my bewilderment at the judges treatment of Beth and their inexplicable favouritism of Matt Laspinkas. Clown was unforgettable. [*]Series 9 and the last ever DOI. Ray deserved to win and I find it impossible to select a favourite routine. These were my favourite routines - but not necessarily my most memorable moments. |

The thing was, when the ratings started to slide about the time of series 7, nothing could stop it.

[*]Series 1; Stefan Booth and Kristina Lenko - Mr. Bojangles; it was the first routine that completely captivated me. Was it the first series John Barrowman went out really early, and everyone thought he would win? Quote:
[*]Series 2. Claire and Andrei 'Since you been gone.' So disappointed that they didn't win.
Claire was brilliant, and another one fearless with lifts. That was Kyran's series wasn't it? I loved his progress, and Skating Cars really got me at the time.Quote:
[*]Series 3. Suzanne - the finals; she and Matt held me spell bound that night. The best ever flying routine, the Music routine and Bolero - she hit her purple patch that night.
Completely agree, remember that final well. Very disappointed she went out early in All Stars.Quote:
[*]Series 4. Only one winner - Ray Quinn and spoilt for choice; Nothing's gonna stop us now.: Rock Around the Clock; Bailamos. Even then we knew we'd never see his like again.
Yes, definitely. DOI started to lose it's sparkle after this series for me...Quote:

Me too!Other highlight celebs for me were Vanilla Ice, Chloe Madeley and Jessica from Liberty X. Quote:

I know. Thing is, all his routines were dance routines as well. Ray embodied the entire DOI concept.And I've loved having a series where the majority of celebs were capable on skates

I remember all these but agree series 6 when they moved to a new studio is when I think the show had it
