3 Hour 2 Part Mini-Series

If only the designers, builders and owners hadn't bought into the untimely fatal myth of her being unsinkable...If only the chairman of the White Star Line hadn't declined, in a fit of corporate hubris, to try to chop a day off the trans-Atlantic crossing record by ordering the Titanic's speed increased to a dangerous 22-plus knots, even though icebergs were a well-known menace...If only the Titanic had been adequately supplied with lifeboats. There were, in fact, places for only 1,200 people, although 2,228 passengers and crew were aboard the glittering palace for her maiden - and final - voyage.

What makes the Titanic saga so compelling, of course, are the private stories of those who embarked on the fateful crossing, many of whom we meet in this gripping drama.
