ITV has released a trailer and new pictures from Julian Fellowes's forthcoming historical drama Titanic.
The Downton Abbey creator's four-part miniseries will mark the centenary of the ship's sinking in the Atlantic Ocean on April 15, 1912.
David Calder, who played former Manchester United chairman Harold Hardman in BBC Two drama United, will portray the ship's captain Edward Smith, while Steven Waddington (Waterloo Road, Garrow's Law) plays RMS Titanic's second officer, Charles Lightoller.
The cast of Titanic also includes Linus Roache, Celia Imrie, Toby Jones, Geraldine Somerville, Sophie Winkleman, Maria Doyle Kennedy and Timothy West.
The trailer for Titanic will get its television debut immediately after the Downton Abbey Christmas special, which airs on Sunday (Christmas Day) at 9pm on ITV1.
Titanic will debut on April 12, 2012, airing simultaneously in over 50 countries.
It will be broadcast on ITV1 in the UK, ABC in the US and on Australia's Seven Network.
