An hour after hitting the iceberg Titanic has come to a dead stop. The still-slumbering passengers are told the ship is sinking, but many of them refuse to believe it.

4. Iceberg Dead Ahead
A retirement party is held in Captain Smith’s honour. But as ice warnings come in over the radio, he must decide what to do about them. The richest man on board and his mistress do their best to dodge scandal. Titanic’s engines are put through their paces, as passengers place bets on how fast the ship can go. And at 11.39pm, on Sunday April 14th, something large is spotted, dead ahead…

3. Into the Atlantic…
Titanic stops off in France and Ireland to pick up more passengers, and wine. Economic migrants from Sweden and the Middle East come on board, setting out for a new life in America. Dinner is served, as Titanic’s very own ‘ice man’ helps out with cocktails and desserts. And the passengers settle down to their first night at sea. But one woman - wracked with dread - has no intention of sleeping…

2. Bad Luck Comes in Threes
Titanic is cleared for departure, but no one tells the inspector that a fire is raging in one of the coal bunkers. Extra lifeboats are proposed then rejected, as the first and only lifeboat drill takes place. White Star boss J. Bruce Ismay makes himself at home in his deluxe suite, as Titanic’s first-class facilities are unveiled in all their glory. And on the way out of Southampton Harbour there’s a nail-biting near miss. One that almost scuppers the maiden voyage before it’s begun…
