Unfortunately, that very thought continually distracted me throughout this whole episode. In fact, the Titanic looked almost exactly the same as the Futurama one, if i remember rightly.
I wasn't overly impressed with this latest offering, but at least an effort was made to do a different sort of story, unlike the last two. I agree with everyone about the acting - some great stuff there, and I loved seeing whatshisface from Keeping Up Appearances. I'd heard beforehand that this had had a huge budget and was going to be spectacular, but from what I can see, most of that budget was probably spent on getting the likes of the Minogue in. It wasn't anywhere near as spectacular as I was expecting, but that's probably because it was massively overhyped before broadcast. That's a real shame, because if my expectations hadn't been raised so high I would probably have enjoyed it so much more.
As for the new music, the jury's still out. It sounds a little too much like a drumkit being dropped on an 80's electro band for my liking, but after a few more episodes I might get to like it.
Another thing that's been niggling at me slightly: Can this Doctor not keep himself to himself? It seems that pretty much every woman he comes across in his latest adventures he ends up getting a real emotional - possibly bordering on romantic - attachment to.
