An episode of 'Two pints of lager and a packet of crisps' had some model boats in one scene, don't know which one though, but I imagine the modellers were involved with the filming.

My mother used to bring films home from the school library, and my dad had use of the
church's 16mm projector, I can't believe I forgot about this film. It was a classic in our household.

Definitely tongue in cheek  %) but hey these are model boats and they are playing Poo Sticks in "Glorious Gardens from Above - Essex". It isn't very often that TV makes any model boats look like fun.

The TV series Midsommer Murders featured the lifeboat and lifeboat station at Bekonscot Model Village.
Here is a photo of me in that lifeboat !

Yup, I was driving the sailing ship for the days filming, and it was run into by a Robbe Wetbike belonging, I think to a member of Black Park Model Boat Club. They wanted to know if we could crash one model into the other. The sailing ship being built like a brick privvy was more than a match for the little German plastic thing!
Hank Azaria, playing the boyfriend, then performed a leap into the water, grabbing the model in question, holding it aloft and asking "WHOSE BOAT IS THIS?" repeatedly. The two children who are running the wetbike look all innocent while chucking the transmitter into the pond!
The grabbing of the model was shot in two takes, as the first time it was grabbed, the lid came off in his hand, leaving the rest of the model hanging by just one little connector..so broke by a movie star.
It was fortunate that the local club was in attendance, as the films runners had purchased a couple of RTR models locally for the filming, only to discover that A) they had no range to talk of, and B) the batteries went flat in ten minutes. One of the boats drifting off to the far side of the pond never to be seen again, while the chief runner was busy blaming all the other runners for the total disaster unfolding. lucky for them model boaters came to their aid, with a Fireboat and the Wetbike providing the other models seen in the scene.
The transmitter for the RTR that drifted off across the lake was the transmitter seen being lobbed into the pond by the two children, a fitting end for cheap RTR tat!
It rained all afternoon (and you cannot tell when watching the film), and the food was great, so all in all a great day out playing boats!

One of the submarine models from that misbegotten nonsense "U 571" is on display at Bletchley Park.
