MILLVINA Dean, the Titanic's only living survivor, has hit out at the BBC for using the doomed liner as the plot for the Christmas Day episode of Dr Who.

Ms Dean, 95, from Woodlands in the New Forest - who lost her father in the infamous sinking when she was a two-month-old baby - said: "It is disrespectful to the dead and bereaved to make entertainment of such a tragedy."

In the special episode, Dr Who will be confronted by an alien version of the ill-fated Southampton liner colliding with the Tardis.

The Titanic sank on her maiden voyage in 1912 after colliding with an iceberg with the loss of more than 1,500 passengers and crew.
