The Wreck of the Titan was the second part of Big Finish Productions' wholly original season for the Sixth Doctor in 2010. It was notable for being the second adventure to feature Jamie again travelling with the Doctor after having had his memories of the Doctor wiped by the Time Lords.

Publisher's summary Edit

"It's the biggest ship the world has ever known – and in just twenty minutes' time it's going to hit an iceberg the size of Ben Nevis!"

The North Atlantic is a treacherous place at the best of times. 14 April 1912 is the very worst of times. The Doctor and Jamie find themselves trapped aboard the RMS Titanic , 400 miles off Newfoundland and heading towards a conclusive appointment with destiny.

But the iceberg isn't their only problem. Down in the inky depths, something is hunting: something huge, hostile and hungry. This should certainly be A Night To Remember.

Cast Edit

• Sixth Doctor - Colin Baker
• Jamie - Frazer Hines

References Edit

Black Water makes a reappearance and reference is made to the previous story, City of Spires

Story notes Edit

• The story shares its title with Futility, or the Wreck of the Titan, a novella by Morgan Robertson that was published in 1898, but which eerily predicted many aspects of the 1912 Titanic disaster. A 1912 reprint of the book is featured in the narrative.
• This leads directly into the concluding story of the trilogy, BFA: Legend of the Cybermen.

Continuity Edit

• The Doctor has referenced being on board the Titanic on several occasions, while DW: Rose established that he was present for her launch (but apparently not on board) during his ninth incarnation. The Tenth Doctor found himself aboard a spacecraft duplicate of the Titanic in DW: Voyage of the Damned.
• There is no confusion between this audio story and the comic strip Follow That TARDIS! which says the Titanic was sunk in an attempt to capture The Meddling Monk, because the real Titanic does not appear here.
• The Doctor mentions the Drashigs from DW: Carnival of Monsters.

Timeline Edit

• The Wreck of the Titan occurs after CC: Night's Black Agents
• The Wreck of the Titan occurs before BFA: Legend of the Cybermen
