The sole surviving passenger of the ill-fated Titanic has criticised this years Doctor Who Christmas special, Voyage of the Damned.

Doctor Who‘s forthcoming Christmas special has been criticised by the last remaining Titanic survivor.

95 year old Millvina Dean has said that the episode’s producers have shown an insensitivity by featuring the Titanic in the festive episode.

Speaking to the Daily Record, Dean says:

“The Titanic was a tragedy which tore so many families apart. I lost my father and he lies on that wreck. I think it is disrespectful to make entertainment of such a tragedy.”

A spokeswoman for the show said however:

“No offence was intended. Voyage Of The Damned is set on a space ship called The Titanic and not a boat.”

Doctor Who returns this Christmas Day on BBC One in Voyage of the Damned.
