Titanic
ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET
MINISERIES PREMIERE: This new miniseries is televised by ABC this weekend in an unusual configuration: three hours tonight, and the concluding hour tomorrow night. It’s an unusual co-production arrangement as well, with ITV Studios in Great Britain partnering with ABC, as well as TV entities in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Portugal and other countries, to finance and present this project. The big draw, other than the impending 100th anniversary of the oceanic disaster itself, is that this version is written by Julian Fellowes, currently riding high as the author of TV’s Downton Abbey. Stars include Linus Roache and Geraldine Somerville.
