For those who wonder what they’ll watch once season two of Downton Abbey is over, here is a suggestion. This year is the 100th Anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic and there are a number of movies coming out about it. This one particularly caught my interest. Titanic is a 4-part mini series from Julian Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey.
Titanic will debut on April 12, 2012, airing simultaneously in over 50 countries. (I believe that includes us.) It will be broadcast on ITV1 in the UK, ABC in the US and on Australia’s Seven Network.
(For you Downton Abbey fans, you may notice in the trailer actress Maria Doyle Kennedy, who played Mrs Vera Bates, as Titanic passenger Muriel Batley. I can’t help but wonder if we will like or despise this character…or be able to see her without thinking of Mrs. Bates.) Either way, the mini series looks good!
