UK Channel 4 – Discovery Dive

29 July 2005

Tony Robinson (a.k.a. ‘Baldrick' of Blackadder fame) a well known London based writer, TV personality and presenter recently journeyed to Titanic with James Cameron. Robinson, who fronts several British TV documentary type programmes spent 10 days on the Titanic site with a 5 man support team, both on Keldysh and on another support ship, the Newfoundland-based ‘Sikuk'. The team will finalize filming back in Britain before their 2-hour Titanic documentary goes to air in Britain on Channel 4 on 18 th August 2005. Robinson (who dived the famous wreck with Cameron on the final day of the expedition that culminated in the 2 hour live broadcast for Discovery Channel) thought that British audiences would respond well to a British made Titanic documentary, particularly as British links with the wreck are still strong and it has been some time since a UK based production has been made.
