Matt Baker is in the Cotswold town of Chipping Campden which is one of only four places in England which can claim an unbroken tradition of Morris Dancing. He meets Chipping Camden Morris's Fool, Tim Sexton on Dover's Hill, which is the site of the Cotswold Olympicks. Matt hears that the events are very different to Beijing...Tim tells him that the history of  Morris has links to pagan celebrations of spring and was carried through the centuries among agricultural communities. Chipping Camden Morris is very much alive, despite reports of the custom's imminent demise. The team has an ethos of involving families, and several fathers and sons dance together. Matt  visits the Silversmith's workshop of David Hart, one of the morris men. His Grandfather came to Chipping Campden with the short lived Guild of Handicraft movement in the 1900's and the workshop has hardly changed since.  Matt's trousers get the muddy imprint of an inquisitive Berkshire pig's snout when he arrives at feeding time on David Webb's smallholding. David is President of the Berskshire Pig Breeders Club and feels  Morris links him  to  earlier generations who worked on the land. And, of course, Matt can't visit Chipping Campden without strapping on some bells to learn one of the town's unique dances from one of the younger Morris Men, Paddy Sexton.
