Narrowboat Maid Of The Mist (Provisionally) Gets A Part Through Unitbase.co.uk In A Japanese Hair Wax Commercial, Filmed In London

After a photographic recce at Little Venice in London, NB Maid of the Mist were awarded a 'getaway boat' part in the leading Japanese hair wax product commercial to be shot in the next few weeks.

After being approached by a UK locations company in May Maid of the Mist was auditioned with other canal craft by around fifteen heads from the Japanese advertising promotion production team.

They needed a boat with a stern big enough for four Japanese men, modeling a leading Japanese hair wax product, being pursued through the streets of London by around 40 young women. The men see a narrowboat just about to leave its moorings and jump aboard, hoping for a quick getaway!

Who knows what happens next!

The skipper of the narrowboat will be Graham Beven (made-up of course!); co-owner of CanalCuttings.co.uk - his good lady Jean being relegated to the towpath, looking after the dog!

The shooting will take place on one day in July for around six hours, as there will be film shots taken from the top of the boat; behind and at the side of the boat at tow path level and the same from an elevated position.

All good fun but as it was pointed out to us, all filming on British Waterways property must be authorised and fees paid!
