9. Is Harry On The Boat?
Sky OneIs Harry On The Boat? was initially a one-off drama aired in 2001, based on the lives of holiday reps in Ibiza and starring a young Danny Dyer. Predictably for such a show, there is plenty of drama, constant partying, a fair dose of debauchery, and indeed, some iffy acting. Nothing too out of the ordinary here... We wonder how they got away with the title, though. Those of us not up on our cockney rhyming slang might wonder if the film concerns a young chap called Harry and others around him attempting to discern whether or not he is on board for his nautical adventure. Well... to paraphrase Britney Spears, it's not that innocent, and the title actually refers to the act of "finishing" all over someone's face (or "boat race" in Cockney rhyming slang.) Somewhat subtle, but definitely outrageous - which is not at all surprising given the content of the show... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TBjK4l1YAM
