Rivetting ['scuse pun!] stuff!

There's currently a four-part mini series on ITV. Screened between 9 & 10 o'clock on Sunday evenings ... it predictably draws comparisons between the vastly different lifestyles on board what was, in 1912, the world's greatest ocean-going liner ... focusing, alternately, on passengers and crew alike. Scheduled to conclude *tonight, the *date coincides with the commemoration ceremony to mark the centennial of the disaster.
Yes, I saw the first two episodes of the Len Goodman 3 part series. I missed yesterdays as I was at the cinema...but haven't seen the 4 part mini series. And yes, such a wider chasm is our society in those days where a 1st class ticket was more likely to gaurantee your survival.... I dont see the Titanic as just a disaster movie in the same way as I dont just see it as a love story. It has many facettes to it.
