Faux-documentary style British comedy following the fortunes of fictional Morris dancing troupe the Millsham Morris Men. The group's leader, Derecq Twist (Charles Thomas Oldham), is set to rock the Morris dancing world with a performance of the ultimate dance: the legendary Threeple Hammer Damson. Twist is also at the forefront of Extreme Morris, an innovative freeform version of the dance that raises the hackles of Morris's governing body, the deeply traditional Morris Circle. Can Derecq and his men overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of their creative expression? Derek Jacobi, Naomie Harris, Ian Hart, Aidan McArdle and Greg Wise co-star.
