It's well worth a punt if you like Morris Dancing. Some of the silent footage looks so exotic, it's hard to imagine it's from England. I'm a huge fan of folk music/dance and customs so I loved it but I could imagine over two discs it could become a chore if you're not into it. That said, "Oss Oss Wee Oss" on disc two is a must if you have even the slightest interest in "The Wicker Man" and where all the singing and dancing comes from. Click on the "pirate" Moving History
