I'd rather watch a documentary on the North Stand Kollective than that shite over again.
Best bit was the trailer for next weeks. It would be impossible to be worse.

Didn't watch all of it. But I have to say that the decision to call it "Titanic," exactly the same as the second most successful film of all time, is completely bizarre. Couldn't they have added a definite article or something just to make it a bit different.
When I turned it on they had a wide shot of the ship sinking in the water which looked exactly like the film. And there was an American bloke and an English girl romance - does anyone remember Kate ane Leo? Very odd. Hope ITV lose millions on it!

TV is going to be AWASH with all sorts of Titanic detritus in this centennial year.

Wonder how it will end
To be fair, they have quite an interesting gimmick of all four episodes ending with the sinking, with only the last showing what happens to the various characters. Still dull though.

WHO ARE THIS NORTH STAND KOLLECTIVE you speak about
by the way there was a programe on channel 4 earlier this week all about the sinking and the events leading up to it using actors playing the part of some of the passengers /crew/ owner and design engineer and computer graphics to give it quite an edge .
found out that if they had manged to keep number 5 boiler room dry they would have stayed afloat aided by pumping of course .

I didn't watch it as I'm not a fan of I.t.v, and the review for it in the Times wasn't that flattering either. Lord Fellows, the guy who wrote Downton Abbey did this Titanic drama as well and it's been described as Downton Abbey at sea.
And at £2.5 million an hour episode, I.t.v will lose shedloads with an ever dwindling audience.

Maybe they should have called it 'Olympic' if the conspiracy theorists are to be believed

They would have been better off spending the money on a re-telling of our 1910 Charity Shield victory. A four part mini-series would have sufficed.

I assume it will sell or already has been sold to America, since they like Downton Abbey over there and obviously the Titanic story has bankability. DVD sales included I suspect they won't lose too much. Unless of course it turns out to be a complete turkey (which it sounds like it might be!).
