Titanic: another new series!

I have seen the ads for a new series about the Titanic to be shown on ITV1.

Titanic - ITV1 Drama

Raises the question, do we really need another film dramatisation about the Titanic? :confused: Could they have spent the money on something else?

Any one see that documentary about the Germans who made a version of the "Titanic" during the 2nd World War with intention of using it as a propaganda film!

They could have given the Titanic story a new twist if they wanted to.
There are several alternative versions of what happened

They've got a different spin on it. It's still a fascinating story because so tragic and avoidable! It was greed that was the culprit!

My recent researches have led me to believe that Great Uncle Bertie, Second Officer Lightoller of Titanic fame, may have misled many people, including officials and family about what really happened on the fateful night of 15 April 1912. As the terrible events of that disaster have been well documented over the past 100 years, I decided to focus my book on the leading player in the drama – my great uncle Bertie.

Using early 20th century records and my great uncle’s autobiography, published in 1935, I discovered that Charles Herbert Lightoller was born in 1874. His childhood was marred by one tragedy after another but he was especially devoted to his youngest sister, Gertrude, my grandmother. Despite this he ran off to sea at the age of 13. His adventures under sail in the giant ships of the time included more than one shipwreck and several weeks marooned on a deserted island. It was a tough life and, by the time Great Uncle Bertie joined the famous White Star Line, he had already been sailing the seven seas for 25 years.
