I have spotted a sequence for BBC2 which had robot number 2's morris dancing. Has anyone else seen it? |

They probably used a concertina because it is 'prettier' than a melodeon, but that doesn't mean they don't know the difference. There was nothing to say they thought it was a melodeon and some Morris musicians do use concertinas. |
