Four-part ITV drama, scripted by Julian Fellowes, will be screened in 2012 to coincide with centenary of disaster

Linus Roache and Geraldine Somerville are to head the cast of Julian Fellowes's dramatisation of the Titanic story.

Fellowes, creator of Downton Abbey, is scripting a series to be screened by ITV next year, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the "unsinkable" ship's disastrous maiden voyage.

Roache, who has appeared in US series Law & Order and films such as Batman Begins, recently appeared in Coronation Street alongside his father William Roache (Ken Barlow). Somerville is known for her role in the Harry Potter films , playing the young wizard's mother Lily, as well as appearing in BBC1's Survivors.

The cast for the four-part series also includes Celia Imrie, Toby Jones and Perdita Weeks. It begins filming in Hungary later this month, made by Bafta-winning producer Nigel Stafford Clark, whose successes have included Bleak House and Warriors.
