Trivia
Eric Farley was correct when he said that John Jacob Astor IV was on the Titanic. John Jacob Astor was one of the richest men at the time and he was the richest man on the ship. He carried his pregnant wife through a window and placed her in the last lifeboat to leave. He also helped a mother and daughter on to that boat and gave the mother his hip flask. He was last seen alive smoking a cigarette with Jacques Futrelle, an author, standing on the starboard bridge. An half hour later the ship had completely disappeared under the water.

Goofs
Patrick Macnee's character refers to the Titanic as 'RMS Titanic', which is the correct designation. He then states that RMS stands for 'His Royal Majesty's Ship'. RMS, however, stands for Royal Mail Ship.

Crazy credits
The background of the credits beginning with the writer/producer has Alcoa Wrap Aluminum Foil boxes in the background with a sheet of foil pulled out from top to bottom of the screen.

Night of April 14th

Grace Montgomery is a young English woman who is due to marry dashing Eric Farley (Patrick Macnee.)

Grace has been having nightmares about drowning, maybe while on her honeymoon.

Her mother reassures Grace that she is unlikely to drown while she holidays in Switzerland with her new husband.

Only for Eric to suddenly announce that they will honeymoon in New York. They will travel over there in a new ship called the Titanic.

On the ship, Grace's nightmares continue. Several other passengers have similar concerns.

There is no sudden twist here. The Titanic sinks, Eric dies but not before telling his bride that next time, he will take her nightmares more seriously.

It would had been better if Grace had some reason not to get on the Titanic in the first place and then realise just what a narrow escape she and her husband had.

Presenter John Newland seems happier to connect a book written in 1898. It was called 'Futility: The Wreck of the Titan' which has some similarities to the sinking of the Titanic in 1912.
