A few years ago we (Earl of Stamford Morris) danced on Channel 4's teen soap, Hollyoaks.

We were well aware that 'poking fun at the Morris' may have been an issue, and only agreed to do it after we established how it fitted in with the 'storyline'.

We were very impressed that the actor playing the main character who (in the story) had to be co-opted into the side at the last minute after two of the side had been taken ill, took the trouble to spend an hour with us learning the dance (Lillibulero), and took it very seriously.

With repeat fees and so on, it was a very nice 'little earner', swelling the side's coffers quite considerably!
