Apparently it's for real!

I really hope not. It's not even April! It would need to be up for a BAFTA to get the passion, the hard word work and the beering to be fit to call itself a proper reflection of the best of the morris. Unfortunately i think it will just pick upon the midlifecrisis average at best border morris that is ever present.

standing well back :)

Looking at the state of the "tower" in about the 3rd shot it is older than any building in the USA, so this was shot in U/k.

Did anyone hear a radio play on R4 some years ago called 'Morris On The Somme'? I taped the repeat but lost it. Would love to hear it again - please BBC.

Sounds entertaining - lets hope there's some reasonably accurate morris in it! Maybe it'll gain a few recruits.

Does anyone know anything about it? Like the synopsis is rather long for me and im wondering if it has anything on the young morris today...im also sceptical...does any one know if its real?

Rich,

"I really hope not. It's not even April!

Looks like time for a "discussion" about the true nature of Morris!

Cheers

Let's ask WAV to review it when it hits the screens!

I take it this is in reference to the 5000 morris dancers thread? I've not dared look at it.

I still can't believe this movie can be true...?

From Wikipedia's entry on Derek Jacobi:
In February 2007, his feature film The Riddle, directed by Brendan Foley, in which he stars alongside Vinnie Jones and Vanessa Redgrave, was screened at Berlin EFM. Jacobi plays twin roles, first a present day London tramp and then the ghost of Charles Dickens. In March 2007, the BBC's children's programme In the Night Garden started its run of 200 episodes, with Jacobi as the narrator. He played Nell's grandfather in ITV's Christmas 2007 adaptation of The Old Curiosity Shop, and appears in three forthcoming films: Morris: A Life With Bells On, Hippie Hippie Shake and Endgame.

I will go - let's get a huge group of folkies and descen on the US premier.
