On 15 April 1912, the RMS Titanic sank in the early hours of the morning. Over fifteen hundred people died. The Fourth Doctor assured Borusa that he "had nothing to do with it." (TV: The Invasion of Time) The sinking was a major event in 20th century Earth history, and nearly a century later, Max Capricorn built a space-faring replica which nearly met a similarly tragic end. (TV: Voyage of the Damned)

But 15 April was not only important for that fateful event. The day was in fact the birthday of two of the Doctor's companions. On the same day as the sinking, Charlotte Pollard, a companion of the Eighth and Sixth Doctors, was born to Lord Richard and Lady Louise Pollard. (AUDIO: Neverland) In 1980, Samantha Jones, companion of the Eighth Doctor, was too born, probably in London. (PROSE: Unnatural History)
