Channel 4 go 3-D

According to Broadcast, Channel 4 are planning a week of 3D programming that will include two documentaries on the Queen's coronation, a Derren Brown magic special, The Greatest Ever 3D Moments (including Jaws 3D and the 1993 Doctor Who Children In Need special*), and a selection of old movies. The content will require the use of ColorCode 3D glasses, which Channel 4 aim to give away via Sainsbury's in the week before transmission.

Incidentally, it's worth remembering that Virgin1 are showing the 3D episode of Chuck next Tuesday (25 Aug, 9pm) and free glasses are being distributed inside TV & Satellite Week magazine. As a nice surprise earlier this week, I was one of the lucky 1,000 people sent a pair via Virgin's website!

* It's only a matter of time before the BBC do a 3-D Doctor Who, surely.
