Morris A Life with Bells On is a 2009 British independent film, a comic spoof documentary about morris dancing.

He went on to qualify as a lawyer but turned to acting and writing. He gradually developed the script of Morris A Life with Bells On, and drew up a wishlist of actors he would like to have in the film.Although a lowbudget film it cost a total of 500,000 to make Oldham was successful in fulfilling his wishlist and the film features some wellknown actors including Derek Jacobi, Ian Hart, Dominique Pinon, Greg Wise, Harriet Walter, Naomie Harris and Sophie Thompson. Oldham plays the lead role and Akhurst also appears in the film. A number of reallife morris sides were used as extras in the filming. ........
