Is Harry on the Boat? was a British television drama based on the lives of holiday reps based in Ibiza. The show aired on Sky One from 2002 to 2003.
[edit] Background
Based on the book of the same name by Colin Butts, it 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. Set in Ibiza and focused on the adventures of a group of holiday reps catering for an 18-30's market. The acting was a little OTT/Hammy, and the story lines between sex scenes at times weak and forced. But the continual comedy and regular sex scenes held the episodes together.
It ran for three series from 2002 to 2003, and proved the formula of "fast-paced drama, sex, and comedy" for Sky that produced Mile High
