The Titanic: Andrew Marr goes overboard

His BBC colleagues John Humphrys, Jeremy Vine and Len Goodman may have been fronting shows over the weekend commemorating the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, but Andrew Marr charted his own course, reports the Mail. "We are treating it as a national celebration. Are we going to be doing this for air crashes in future?" he asked on his BBC2 Sunday show. "I think it is sordid and tasteless and very dull and I hope after today we won't hear any more about this sad story except from the driest of dry historians." With ITV drama Titanic plunging in the ratings, it looks like viewers share Marr's sinking feeling.
