So far, I think the 1997 film has spoiled me as there is something missing I can't put my finger on. Meh. I didn't care much for Cameron's 97 film. I thought it was about 50 minutes too long and the 'romantic' by-story was too unbelievable and not very interesting. I'll be honest - I only went to see it to see how they handled the special effects (which were very good indeed) but for sheer drama - it couldn't hold a candle to A Night To Remember (which actually is very, very heart-rending without the need for a stupid romantic by-plot). I can't stand Julian Fellowes so I'm giving this a miss. I must admit - I only watch DA now for its comedic content. And of course - Rob James Collier is one serious bit of hottie-ness! Kath

Infamy Infamy they all got it in for me Group: Chart Mod Posts: 122,147 Member No.: 2 Joined: 5-March 06 User's Gallery	I watched it on iPlayer, I turned off after 20mins, pretty predictable when you know what happens at the end.

Miss Rodham, if you're nasty Group: Global Mod Posts: 29,201 Member No.: 11,709 Joined: 23-August 10 User's Gallery	Oh I LOVED IT, but I'm not a fan of the film so I guess I'm just less familiar with the story than some others. Lady Manton is amazing, I loved what a stuck up bitch she is, I may weep a little if she dies. There's actually a lot of characters I find myself liking already and we're just 1 episode in.
