Various sources in the UK media, including
The Sun and
Digital Spy, are reporting that 95 year-old Millvina Dean, the last surviving passenger of the sole voyage of the ill-fated passenger liner the Titanic in 1912, has criticised the BBC for setting the festive episode of
Doctor Who aboard a replica space ship of the same name.
Dean - whose father drowned in the disaster - is quoted in The Sun as saying: "It is disrespectful to the dead and bereaved to make entertainment of such a tragedy." However, a BBC spokeswoman told the
Daily Record newspaper that: "No offence was intended. Voyage of the Damned is set on a spaceship called The Titanic and not a boat."
英国多家媒体报道，包括The Sun和Digital Spy，1912年Titanic上最后一名幸存乘客95岁的Millvina Dean，指责BBC将DW圣诞版中的飞船命名为Titanic。
Dean—其父亲在那次灾难中溺死—说：“用如此惨事来娱乐，是对死者对丧失亲友的人的不尊重。”随后BBC发言人对Daily Record报纸说：“这并非有意冒犯，诅咒之旅的设定是飞船命名为Titanic而不是一艘轮船”
