Channel 4 announces week of 3D programming
Channel 4 is to hold a week of programming which will 'celebrate the golden era of 3D footage', according to the broadcaster.
Programmes will be shown in ColorCode 3D, which viewers will need ColorCodeViewer™ 3D glasses to watch.
Channel 4 Marketing have partnered with Sainsburys to make these glasses available in stores, free of charge, before the week of programming commences.
Channel 4 will be showing previously unseen footage, shot in 3D, of the Queen during her Coronation year. Other 3D programming to be shown during the week include Derren Brown's 3D Magic Spectacular, The Greatest Ever 3D Moments and several 3D movies, details of which are yet to be announced.
David Glover, Commissioning Editor for the Queen in 3D said: "When I was told that there was unseen footage of the Queen's coronation in 3D I didn't really believe it at first. Watching it didn't disappoint—it was like turning the TV set into a window—you draw back the curtains and look straight back into 1953. Watching period 3D documentary footage is about as close to time travel as one can get. You watch as the crowds wave at the coronation and you see the young Queen Elizabeth walking right past you."
