he BBC‘s documentary drama Titanic Sinks Tonight dropped on 28 December, and viewers have been hooked on the “incredible” four-parter ever since.
Based on the true story famously dramatised in the 1998 blockbuster Titanic, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, this series charts the events of 1912, when a luxurious ocean liner sank in the North Atlantic after hitting an iceberg.
Unlike other docuseries, which often focus on the ship itself, this BBC series highlights the human element of the tragic story we all know.
Explaining their choice to focus on the human element, executive producer Kieran Doherty said: “We focused on the survivors and told their stories using their actual words. Instead of studying the ship as an object, we followed the human experience as it unfolded. Their testimonies guide every beat of the series. It’s not about how the Titanic was built, or even how it sank – it’s about what it was really like to be there.”
