[Madeinbrazil]

No, but the dog ran on the set and had a pee up the boat.

 

[Madeinbrazil]

Typical of dogs that, my last dog , cross between a Border Collie & Labrador, peed against a Rolls Royce wheel .

 

[Fattyfoggon]

Yeah watched was pretty good

 

[Duffman]

Absolutely bizarre programme

Are we talking about Boat Story? If so think it’s the best thing on TV this year.

 

[MaximoParkEnd]

I thought this was going to be a thread about George Boateng.
The Boat may be a good drama, but I’d much prefer to chat about Georgie Boat.

Did anyone notice that the woman who owned the pasty shop/bakery and her on screen Policeman son were both in a film called The Bad Education Movie, again as Mother and Son.

They asked for permission to use our office frontage on Queen Street in some scenes.
I think they wanted to make us a shop if I remember right.
I passed it on to our marketing team who I assume must have said no.
Nothing worse than watching something in a place you know.
In episode 1 at one point they were driving along the high street, next second there were driving in the opposite direct on the sea front passing by hat vertical pier thing
Then in the next shot they were turning into a country lane somewhere

Boat Story was a great homage to Tarantino/Coen Brothers films. Extremely dark comedy interdispersed with violent scenes that made my other half turn away. Episode 1 in particular was gruesome.

Daisy Haggard was excellent as was Tchecky Karyo. The writers, the Williams brothers don't do many Tv series but what they have done has been of a consistent quality. The Missing, The Tourist and now this.

Yes it felt like a Fargo inspired program. I liked it. It was nastily violent in the first episode, but very watchable overall.

 

[LowMoorBoro]

Only watched the first episode but didn’t enjoy it. Might come back to it if it’s worth it.

 

[The Ruthsayer]

Thoroughly enjoyed it! Was that Hartlepool Marina in the final episode?
‘Tourist’ was excellent too, will check out ‘Missing’.

 

[HolgateCorner]

Watched it all, one of the most violent shows you will ever see on television, like a horror film at times.

 

[MolteniArcore]

Disappointed that this thread isn’t about the boat that was moored up beside the Riverside back in the glory days!

 

[Zoophonic]

Definitely. Get past the first episode it settles down. Episode 3 was my favourite. Some really laugh out loud moments. Fantastic television.

The Missing was a fabulous series. Gripping.

Wouldn’t bother Lowm. Very average if it wasn’t for spotting local sites.

Both myself and Mrs Keelo enjoyed it immensely and she hardly watches any tele...
