Whilst searching today came across this new duo of films http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PAINTED-BOATS-DVD-GR...=item51901e9f2f

 

I was looking for a tv film that was made on the BCN in the 1970's it was a comedy about buying a boat. Anyone know of this? All I have come across is boating butler which is not the one.

Not the Eric Sykes "Boat" episode?

The comedy film was "Atlantis" which was along the lines of "Last of the summer wine" (but predated it) and was made at Braines yard.

That seems to be for an Ealing Film I’d never heard of….a bit of Googling finds a beautiful set of prints taken for publicity view them here. Lovely stuff

You won't find it online for free (though you may have done at one time).

Clutter or not, it is available and worth it:

What a list of films! A treasure trove! I just watched Painted Boats, very watchable…the scenes with children are very charming…reminds me of an almost forgotten Ealing Film the ‘The Magnet’ from 1950. Thanks for the link to your site. I shall be working my way through that list. Incidentally, I came across ‘the Bargee’ with Harry H Corbett on Swedish Netflix retitled ‘Casanova of the Canals’ 😄. I’m sure lots of people on here are very familiar with that one, worth remembering that films are often retitled for other markets…I thought almost an embryonic theme between Painted Boats and The Bargee…definitely a few seeds were sown in the earlier film.
