Continuity

The Titanic and Doctor Who

This episode will mark the first time the Doctor has explicitly been seen dealing with the Titanic. However, the ship has been mentioned a number of times previously.

  • In the Fourth Doctor story The Invasion of Time (1978), the Doctor claims that he "wasn't responsible" for the disaster.
  • In "Rose", Clive, a conspiracy theorist, shows Rose a photograph of the Ninth Doctor with "the Daniels family of Southampton", on the eve of their scheduled voyage on the Titanic. For an unspecified reason, they cancelled their trip and survived.
  • In "The End of the World", the Ninth Doctor mentions that he "was on board another ship once. They said that was unsinkable. I ended up clinging to an iceberg, it wasn't half cold."

Pre-broadcast publicity

  • Kylie Minogue was reported by several newspapers to be appearing in this episode.[3] While Minogue stated that she would be in the episode[4], Davies stated that she wouldn't due to other commitments on her part.[5] Russell T Davies was also quoted saying "I haven't even written the script yet, and a woman like (Kylie) would be booked two years in advance."
