What boat - "The Missing" (BBC1)

[SteveTibbetts]

Although as a parent I don't need a thriller TV show to stir my imagination regarding missing children the thing that gets me shouting at the TV with this program is the boat.
Seen it?
James Nesbitt clambers abourd a boat that's small enough to be rocked by his weight and driven by a small outboard. Yet when he goes below its a five or six step down to the palatial cabin that appears to have enough room to swing several cats around.

Standard in films and telly. Deck scenes on location, interiors in a studio mockup several times the size.

It's a 26 foot Tardis 2.

Very rare.

It looked more like a Sportina

Maybe not though. Strange windows.

I thought is was a Benny or Jenny of about 26'. The interior shots on the other hand were on something 15' longer I reckon. Never seen an aft cabin with standing headroom on a 26 footer!! Laughable really, does any viewer actually believe it?

Been watching this for a few weeks and could not see a reason why they would use two different boats.
But when James Nesbit took the boat out to dump the body, it would be too much to move a 38/40 footer by him self in the dark possibly?
I also assume the interior of the small boat would be too small for filming.
Can anyone identify the boat for the interior shots?
- Looks like a Benny around 40 ft to me

Can't identify it but was impressed with the sturdiness of the fiddle around the sink!!

When I had a small boat I kept banging my head aswell

interior shots , a very good film set , you only ever see starboard side , there wont be a port side , open to studio for camera and boom mike s and 20 people watching

exterior , being made in france can only be a french boat , unless under protest

Actually, from what I remember she was one of those ubiquitous, multi-branded range of Polish trailer-sailers, including the Sportinas, S-yachts, Europa etc.

The interior looked liked a set, but made from genuine boat furniture from one of the production yards.

I thought the interior looked very like a boat ,totally convincing ,other than the tardis aspect , ive done a wee bit among film crews and have always been extremely impressed with what they can knock up and the detail they go to at times, or with the money they throw at things sometimes wouldnt be suprised if they had chainsawed a section out of a boat and mounted it on a sound stage .

Set painters have magic paint too , once saw one transform a door from new into an aged one with a few brush strokes of paint out his magic paint bucket thing .

Guess the french gave in under protest on the real boat then , thought they were last bastions of local produce , perhaps no say ��

 

[Lakesailor]

As I said above. It's funded and filmed in Belgium.

 

[markhomer]

Many thanks , me most stupid , must have been the stella i drank as a youth !!

Belgium then it is no wonder not french , who really cares

Boat for exterior

90% certain interior is Jeanneau - steps and handrails, wood work fit. Plenty of room for steadycam / handheld. Cut points are terrible anyway.

That's it. Funny that most of those on the page linked to have ordinary windows. But it's certainly got the right windows in the first shot (and the same logo on the stern quarter and pushpit rails etc.)

who really cares

The French?
