It starts frim the beginning each week and the boat sinks each episode. It's from a different perspective each time, but the scenes I reeling, so a conversation we've seen tonight might pop up next week but from the view of someone walking past.
I liked it, but I love Titanic, I'm a little bit obsessed.
I went to the cinema 3 times to see the film and I've seen the ad for it being re-released in 3D do I'll be going again

I'm watching it again on ITV + 1 thingy.

I liked it, but I couldn't shake the feeling that Jack and Rose were just out of shot half the time.

I'm disappointed, I thought some of the acting was very hammy, the writing was a bit clunky and it was dull. We didn't have time to get to know the characters before the iceberg hit. I was really looking forward to it as well.

There was a very weird moment with a Scottish-or-Irish-or-just-diddly accent.

YAWN! Problem is, we all know how it ends...

A bit like the Bible.

I did find it a little bit dull, and thought it was hard to keep track of who was who, but I'll keep watching.

What was the Irish lady shouting at the Lord? I missed it, and it seemed to be crucial!

it's trending on twitter as drownton

Not that impressed. Everyone looked so similar and we had such fleeting introductions to them that it was hard to differentiate between them all, therefore it's difficult to care who lives and who doesn't. (Disclaimer: obviously it would be nice to have everyone survive but even Fellowes can't rewrite history.)

All will be revealed in time....

LOL at ' Drownton'!!!! yeah well I was a bit peeed off that they put it up against Up.Down. 'cos although i hate it I want to know what happens IYSWIM.

It would be good if Fellowes only drowns the bitches and cads like that posh one who won't get in lifeboats with "prostitutes and trade" or something like that. Why does her husband like her? he should push her in!!!

I sort of enjoyed it but can't bear things where little children die , as probably the steerage family will

Can someone explain the bit about the brooch turning up in that horrible woman's jewellery roll after she would let her maid put it with the pursar. "This isn't the one I wore last night"

No. That baffled me too....

sairy Me too about the DCs (I can't bear knowing in advance I'm going to be crying if I really get into something). I missed that bit about the mean woman; she should worry about her jewellery!!

I cried when i saw them on the docks!!

I am sure I saw one of the actresses from 1997 film in the series last night - an American chubby lady...

Yes, sally whatsit-she was in Misery too!

Misery was Kathy Bates who was in the 97 film, as Molly Brown but she wasn't in last night's episode though as far as I know.

Kathy Bates, that's it! Well there was a woman very like her.. who's sally then? I'm clearly mad.

Ha ha lol no idea who Sally is at all, sorry!

Can someone tell me whether this is actually connected to Downton or completely separate.

Patrick and his Dad were on the Titanic, will they pop up?

Also the evil Mrs Bates appears as Mrs Batley. Trying to work out if she has enough time to get back home and marry Mr Bates before he crops up at Downton.

I take this too seriously don't I.

I liked it but found it a bit depressing .

It's not connected to Downton shotinfoot - same writer and the actress who played Mrs Bates is simple acting a different person

no 100% sure if you were serious but though I' answer your question in case you were, on a side I do like that actress I think she very good
