Bad Ark by Matt Hartley

4 Extra Debut. Four guests on a billionaire’s superyacht try to survive the apocalypse. It's bad. With Steffan Rhodri and Freya Mavor.

Billionaire businessman Mr Green has taken his guests to the North Pole on his new superyacht, The Final Frontier. That's the moment when the last of the ice shelves calve, the wave hits and the great flood happens.

With most of the passengers overboard and most of the world underwater, 4 fairly clueless survivors try to work out what to do next: the heiress, her bodyguard, a guy from the engine room and a washed up reality star.

Is there really no one else left? How much caviar do they have on board? And what is going on with the seagull?

Comedy drama written by Matt Hartley.
