Titanic Sinks Tonight
This four part series produced by Stellify Media for BBC Factual and BBC Northern Ireland, relives the Titanic story through the experiences and personal testimony of the passengers and crew who were there.
When she left Belfast in April, 1912, Titanic was the most famous ship in the world. Four days into her maiden voyage, the ‘unsinkable ship’ hit an iceberg in the icy waters of the Atlantic.
From the crucial seconds before the ship hit the iceberg, to the final moments when the hull sank beneath the waves, the new series Titanic Sinks Tonight pieces together the events, minute by minute, to reveal exactly what happened to the 2,208 passengers and crew on the night of April 14.

Unearthed from a vast archive of eyewitness testimony, including letters, telegrams, media interviews, memoirs and the US and UK public enquiries into the disaster, the cast of actors portray vivid first-hand accounts that will put viewers ‘in the moment’, revealing what individuals all around the ship saw, felt and did that night.
The docu-drama series was filmed in Northern Ireland using cutting-edge Virtual Production technology at Studio Ulster with support from Northern Ireland Screen.
