British ITV is running a 4 part fictionalized series on the Titanic.

As of Episode 2, they were implying incompetence/cheap materials on the part of the builders and even worse incompetence on the part of the Captain.

They also emphasize the social class differences in crew and levels of passengers. It is sort of a Downton Abbey on a big boat.

I’ve got (somewhere) a copy of the 1943 GERMAN version which is really good except for those “greedy” English vs the few sweet German passengers and German engineer who warned the ship masters of dangers ahead.

Needless to say, the ship sinks.
