Sorry no third class passengers.. :pac:

Part of me was thinking that "Saving The Titanic" might be about how on Earth they are going to save that series on TV3..

Nothing can stop that one sinking :pac:

I'm getting a little bit excited...

Owen McDonell is in it, yer man from Single Handed.. He always remind me of Keiran McGeeney.

Diddler1977

Ahoy mateys!

JonathanAnon

Again with the flashbacks.. :mad::mad:

I wonder has RTE ever made a mini series without Owen Roe... I noticed Donal Maher from Fair City there as well, I'd been wondering what he was up to since he left Blue Dolphin..

Ooh! Hello sailor!

I feel a bit guilty having ice in my gin while watching this.

Lady Chatterton

Good Evening all!

I think this will be good, it has to be better than the ITV Titanic production.

amdublin

Is this a documentary?

Or is it a drama?

I'm confused

Drama based on the testimony of Titanic survivors.

amdublin

Hey! these are Rose's questions :mad:

Next he's gonna ask about the lifeboats

Titanic! Titanic! What everyone forgets is that there were 2000 miles of very pleasant sailing before it hit the iceberg.

Lady Chatterton

I think that Ciaran McMenamin is seriously hot!

amdublin

I did not know that about the 4th funnel.

God it's slow moving.. If the Titanic had been going at this pace, it would have missed the iceberg by a week..

They didn't show Father Browne taking all those photos ...

Lady Chatterton

I'm beginning to think James Cameron was a genius! 194 minutes long but it didn't feel like it. I'm definitely going to the 3D version very soon

My Dad gave me a present of Fr. Browne's book back in the 90s, it has some really beautiful photographs in it.

Tis slow right enough.

First time I've seen a Titanic picture without passengers involved.

At least Diddler, Amdublin and I charmed our way on to a lifeboat

This is very good. A new angle on the disaster everyone knows the passenger side by now.

Lady Chatterton

The narrator (Liam Cunningham) has a great voice.

codrulz

^^ might have preferred Liam Nesson though!
