Freeze - Season 1

Sheffield ice skater and reigning British champion PJ faces the fight of his life as he competes against the biggest names in global figure skating at the World Championships. In Oxford, a lift goes wrong for new Pairs team Harry and Lydia, and upcoming ice-dance talent Billy goes in search of a perfect partner.

British Ice Skating makes a shock announcement that leaves the squad with even less time to prepare for the Skate Off – the first competition in which the entire squad skates against each other - with the victors winning the opportunity to qualify a place for Team GB at the Olympics.
In Nottingham, Kristen is on a comeback mission following a spinal injury that threatens to ruin her career. Opting for a strict physio regimen over spinal surgery, Kristen wants to show the skating world that she has what it takes to be the best female skater in Britain. Kristen meets with her spinal surgeon following an MRI for an update on the status of her injury. With a cash injection from her parents, Kristen travels to the elite IceLab training centre in Italy where Coach Ondrej puts her through her paces. In stark contrast to the UK, where rinks prioritise public sessions and elite skaters have to train at the most unsociable hours, IceLab is an elite-only facility where world-class skaters and medal-adorned coaches provide the best training environment one could possibly conceive. After losing sensation in her foot, Kristen never thought she would be able to land a triple combination jump – but Ondrej is set to prove her wrong.
Ice Dance duo Anthony and Eleanor are grafters with glittering dreams of making it on to the squad and eventually on to the no 1 podium. But first they have to impress the judges. Their chance comes when they are invited to submit footage of their latest routine. But for perfectionist Anthony, the pressure of making every moment count is overwhelming. Without the judges' endorsement the pair won't be able to compete abroad or qualify the score they need to join the squad.
In Sheffield, injury threatens to derail Billy's try-out with experienced American skater Kat. The pair are courted by Ice Dance royalty Christopher Dean, who is back in the UK and on the lookout for the next generation of talent. With Katarina prepared to switch to Team GB, Billy faces the
biggest decision of his life.

After months of struggling with his Triple Axel, reigning champion PJ finally has a breakthrough. But there's little time to celebrate as the British Ice Skating federation announces a Skate-Off to be held for all elite athletes. The event will see the country's finest skaters vie for the chance to show they deserve top ranking. But the most glittering prize on offer is the chance to compete in Germany at the upcoming Olympic Qualifier. Only the winner of the Skate-Off will be given the golden opportunity to earn a Team GB spot in Beijing 2022. Hot on PJ's heels is two-time British Champion Graham Newberry who has his eyes firmly focused on the podium. Primed for success by his father and coach, former Champion Christian Newberry, Graham is a force to be reckoned with. Where crowd-pleaser PJ brings charm and personality to the ice, Graham is known for his dramatic programmes that are designed to woo the judges. All eyes in the skating world will be glued to these two as they fight it out for the top spot.
After a year of intense training and physio, elite skater Kristen is ready to make her comeback after a spinal injury and the Skate-Off offers the perfect opportunity to prove her mettle. For this explosive athlete, admired for her strength and power across the ice, the balletic demands of the sport are harder to nail than the gravity-defying jumps, and Kristen would rather be channelling Nicki Minaj than a prima ballerina. Kristen's main competition is someone who revels in the sequinned elegance of the sport and is famed for her grace and composure on the ice – Nina Povey.
This Nottingham-born skater has spent her life on the ice, and whilst the skating world agrees she has the talent to make it to the top, she has yet to realise her potential.
As the Skate-Off approaches new pair Harry and Lydia are stepping up their training in anticipation of making their debut in front of the British judging community – and first impressions are everything. Harry reveals the disturbing truth about his past experience with an abusive coach and injury once again threatens to derail the pair.

Up-and-coming skaters desperate to make the elite Performance Squad compete at the British Qualifiers. With anxiety sky-high, in a sport that demands perfection, the mounting pressure proves too much for some.
After narrowly missing out on making the squad last season – by a crushing 0.01 of a point – Emily Hayward is on a mission to ensure this year she makes the grade. Training in Sheffield alongside squad members like PJ and Nina has fired up determination in her that she hopes will see her through to success at the British Qualifiers. To compete with the elite squad Emily will have to nail her triple jumps but she suffers a setback when a training session goes wrong and Emily's mental strength becomes her biggest asset.
Also hoping to earn a spot on the Performance Squad is twenty-year old skater Eleanor. Having just stepped up from the less pressurised Junior category, this will be Eleanor's first competition as a fully-fledged Senior competitor. This is her chance to prove she can brazen it out with the big kids. But in a sport where mental resilience often proves more important than on-ice talent, Eleanor faces an internal battle that she must win before she steps onto the ice.
After failing to impress British Ice Skating judges, Ice Dance duo Anthony and Eleanor are back in action and more determined than ever to prove to the establishment they are capable of representing GB abroad. The British Qualifiers is their chance to set the record straight and earn enough points to unlock the door to the international circuit. Anthony learns a valuable lesson as he grapples with his perfectionist attitude and tries to tame his often-cruel inner voice.
Ranked number seven in the world, British Ice Dance duo Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson took the skating world by storm with their disco routine in the 2018-2019 season and represent Britain's greatest hope for an Olympic medal in Beijing. The pair travel home from their elite training hub in Montreal and will unveil their brand-new programme at the British qualifiers.
