Episode 006 of the new podcast from the Stinking Pause stable of podcasts featuring Scott and Tony. Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British films....with the occasional hint of professionalism.   In this episode, Scott's choice is from 1958 and is widely regarded as the definitive cinematic account of the sinking of the Titanic – A Night To Remember directed by Roy Ward Baker and starring Kenneth More. The sinking of the Titanic is presented in a highly realistic fashion in this tense British drama. The disaster is portrayed largely from the perspective of the ocean liner's second officer, Charles Lightoller (Kenneth More). Despite numerous warnings about ice, the ship sails on, with Capt. Edward John Smith (Laurence Naismith) keeping it going at a steady clip. When the doomed vessel finally hits an iceberg, the crew and passengers discover that they lack enough lifeboats, and tragedy follows.  This and future episodes can be found on iTunes and Stitcher Radio as well as:
