Eagle eyed viewers might notice an Oxfordshire based company William Jet Tenders making an appearance in the movie with some of their specialist boats.

The company from Berinsfield in South Oxfordshire make small wooden boats for yachts.

They've been making boats in Berinsfield for 20 years and were recently approached to use their boats in the film Argylle, which is in cinemas today.

Lewis Palmer Smith got the chance to act as Sam Rockwells body double in the movie and did meet some of it's stars at the Premiere.

Speaking about the Premiere Lewis said: "We were in Leicester square, which was a great experience we saw Samuel L Jackson, Keith Lemon, Ladbaby but sadly we'd just missed Dua Lipa."

Lewis unfortunately didn't get to meet any of the stars whilst filming, however he did get to meet the stunt doubles.

Whilst joking about future movies the company said: "A few of us do have our power boat licences so next time we might have to draw straws, although Lewis did such a good job he could be the go to man."
