Did Titanic Sink?

In season 2, Tim and Carlo go hunting for the mysterious Canterbury Cat. So what's a censored first edition expose of the Titanic's sinking got to do with that?

Hosted and produced by Tim Batt and Carlo Ritchie

A grayscale illustration with a central depiction of an iceberg and a ship's bow featuring a spiral eye design. The background is filled with radiating lines and question marks. The names 'TIM BATT' and 'CARLO RITCHIE' are written in large black letters curved around the top of the image. The text 'DID TITANIC SINK?' is prominently displayed in large, green, textured capital letters at the bottom of the image. The overall design has a vintage, mysterious feel.
