All Hands on Deck might be more appropriate, rather than Content All Hands as nobody is Content as they approach their Titanic moment. Will the last musicians at the BBC end with Nearer My God To Thee (like the Titanic players)?
“Will the last musicians at the BBC end with Nearer My God To Thee (like the Titanic players)?”
