Doctor Who Vs. Titanic (2012)

The centenary of the loss of RMS Titanic was marked by
ITV's big-budget costume drama, written by Downton
 Abbey creator, Julian Fellowes. Titanic set out to paint
a picture of Edwardian society, telling the stories of 
almost a hundred characters, both real and fictional,
from every social level.

Their narratives were developed and interwoven over the first three parts, each of which ended in a cliff-
hanger as the disaster unfolds. The final episode drew
all these separate strands together and revealed who survived the sinking.

The series first aired over four Sunday nights in March
and April 2012 (and two consecutive nights on
American TV), and concluded another repeat run on
ITV Encore last night.
