Comedians Tim Batt and Carlo Ritchie consider a question so daft that no one ever asked it: Did Titanic Sink?
Chances are, if you know one thing about the Titanic, it's that it sank. Like 85 percent of the population, you probably watched Rose and Jack cling to a door in the North Atlantic at the climax of James Cameron's epic romance Titanic. The fact that the Titanic sank is probably the only reason you know about th...
An 'unsinkable' ship is somehow felled by an iceberg on its maiden voyage. Is everything as it seems? Or is Carlo full of it?

Could an insurance-fuelled switch-a-roo really be at the heart of Titanic's downfall?

Tim and Carlo discuss the long-running blaze in the lower decks, how much damage it might have caused and more chillingly, whether it was deliberately lit?

Over 1500 souls perished the night the ship calling itself "Titanic" sank. But could they have been rescued?

New evidence leads Carlo and Tim back to Titanic as they discover a secret local connection, hidden for decades in a small South Island town.

He was a hero on the Titanic, he was a hero at Dunkirk. So why was Charles' Lightoller's book condemned and suppressed?
Carlo has filled Tim in fully on how the maritime chain of command works. Tim is very grateful.
Now surely it's time to talk about the book and Charles Lightholler, hero of Titanic and the Dunkirk Evacuation!
But first, there's a few things Tim needs to know about Reefton...
What if the crew of the Titanic knew about the iceberg - and did nothing?
Finally - finally! We can talk about the book.
In it, Lightoller makes some very big and explosive claims. So big, he wrote them in italics! And so explosive, his book was pulled from the shelves and pulped.
What could he have written that could be so damaging to the Titanic story and her crew?
What if Lightoller lied to the Titanic inquiries? What if Tim and Carlo are lying to RNZ?
It's looking very much like Lightoller has told some some whoppers. But would it have mattered?
Carlo insists we need to go back and interrogate Titanic’s final moments. What if Lightoller lied to the official inquiries?
What if Carlo and Tim are lying to RNZ?
The game is up. Can Carlo save the day?
Everything is out in the open. RNZ knows the team have been misleading them. And now Carlo has to somehow save the day by connecting Charles Lightoller to the Canterbury Cat.
Can he do it?
As the scale of the subterfuge becomes clear, Tim and Carlo appear in front of the RNZ board.
As the sheer scale of their deception becomes clear, Tim and Carlo are summoned to appear before the board of RNZ to explain themselves.
