A miniseries about the Titanic will capture the imagination of viewers in the same way as Downton Abbey, according to actress Sophie Winkleman.
The 31-year-old stars in the four-part series written by Julian Fellowes, the man behind the successful ITV show, and has predicted fans will enjoy the class drama just as much.
Miss Winkleman, who is married to Freddie Windsor, the son of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, said she loved Downton Abbey. "I think I am in love with Lady Mary," she told a Sunday newspaper magazine. "Rather deeply, in fact. Julian writes all his characters so thoughtfully."
"With Titanic you have all the first-class passengers interwoven with wonderful stories about the maids and the engineers, the people downstairs in the galleys. "People are as obsessed with Downton's valet Bates and housemaid Anna as they are with Lady Mary and Matthew. Julian has absolutely captured that scope with Titanic."
