Titanic
4 x 1 hour or 2 x 90 mins
A Deep Indigo Productions, Sienna Films and Mid-Atlantic Films production in association with ITV STUDIOS and Lookout Point
Oscar® award-winning writer Julian Fellowes (Gosford Park; Downton Abbey) and a stellar cast lead by Linus Roach (Law and Order UK; Batman Begins) and Geraldine Somerville (Harry Potter; Survivors) collaborate in a spectacular retelling of the epic disaster. Marking the 100th anniversary of the tragedy which continues to captivate the world’s imagination, Titanic follows four separate, yet intertwined, narratives building to a dramatic climax. With different lives united by a single horrifying event, the stories elegantly illustrate the contrast of the finery and opulence of first class passengers and the behind-the-scenes work and toil of the underprivileged. As the story unfolds, we gain a captivating insight into the world of 1912 and the tragic events leading up to the fatal collision. Produced by multiple BAFTA award-winning Nigel Stafford-Clark, Titanic is the global television event of 2012.
