The best character playing Figure skater of all time...others may have been better in jumps, spins, all those things but Phillipe was the Godfather and the best d'Artagnan ever (that duel is one of the best step sequences ever, and would probably score low today but who cares, then it was just superb).

No matter how many years have passed, I will never forget that d'Artagnan program and that footwork sequence! Loved that program

It's on TV Asahi's CS2, a satellite channel, not easy to get outside Japan I'm afraid.
