But first, here's more info. about this new Titanic 4-part miniseries (via ITV):

Coming in April 2012 is the new four-part mini-series called 'Titanic'. Written and created by Oscar award-winning screenwriter Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey, Gosford Park), 'Titanic' will feature a whopping 89 main characters by following four separate, yet intertwined, narratives building to a dramatic climax. Dubbed as the 'television event of 2012', 'Titanic' has already been sold to 57 international countries worldwide and is set to broadcast around the world at the same time to coincide with the 100th Anniversary, the centenary of the disaster.

The four-part television drama will interweave multi-arc action, mystery and romantic plot lines over three episodes, featuring fictional and historical characters, before coming together in an explosive concluding episode. Each episode, except the last, will follow a variety of different characters told from each point of view that will culminate to a cliff-hanger as the ship begins to founder. The fourth and final episode will draw all of the stories together in a dramatic conclusion by showing which of the characters survives.
