As part of their 3DTV trial, the BBC will be testing production, distribution, partnerships and appetite in different genres of 3D. The broadcaster's strategy is to co-produce 2D and 3D together -this was first demonstrated with Strictly Come Dancing in December and will continue with Planet Dinosaur in August.
