"Is Harry on the Boat?" was a 2001 British made for TV movie, based on the lives of holiday reps in Ibiza. A television drama series then followed, airing on Sky One from 2002 to 2003.

Background

It's based on the book of the same name by Colin Butts. The title is a reference to the sexual act of ejaculating on the face ('Harry' or 'Harry Monk' is Cockney rhyming slang for spunk and 'boat' - or 'boat race' - is Cockney rhyming slang for 'face').

The TV series was developed and produced by Rapido TV for Sky TV. "Is Harry on the Boat?" was a mix of fast-paced drama, sex, and comedy. It was set in Ibiza and focused on the adventures of a group of holiday reps catering for an 18-30's market.

Cast

The cast of the movie was made up of a series of young actors, mainly chosen for their looks over their acting ability. However, it gave first TV appearances for a number of now notable British actors:

The TV series cast was totally different from the movie cast, with no actors from the movie appearing in the TV series.
