  I caught one programme last night on the beeb. It seems that there has always been more going on in the tales of heroism and scandal.
  WR Hurst had had a run-in with Bruce Imry years before and WRH took great delight in slamming him as the villain of the piece, the captain of the California -which had been at a stand-still through the night- was picked out for blame by the Board of Control inquiry. The 'hero' of the film you mention Chris got a mention also. Kenneth Moor's character was in charge of the life-boats on the port side and held firm to the idea of women and children first, to the total exclusion of the men, letting half full life boats down instead of filling the spaces with the men around. Men were far more likely to have survived on the starboard side.
  I've checked and the programme is called,
  Timewatch Myths of the Titanic.
  
  Very well done without the schmaltz.
