I don't realy understand why the BBC is doing this. No one is going to go out and buy a 3D tv until there is a regular service to watch. It is very clear that the BBC will not be starting a regular service for years while Sky are building a significant subscription base with a dedicated 3D channel.
Even today a large proportion of the BBC output is not even in HD and even less in surround sound. The News and all local output is still in SD.

@Jeff
The problem is the BBC is just not delivering the service they should. At one time the BBC were leaders in delivering new technology but now they seem to be dragging thier feet. As I said thier adoption of HD has lagged behind demand and the same is happening in 3D. 3D is now common place. Why do the BBC need spend money on delivering to cinemas when they could be delivering to our homes.
Actually steroscopic TV was first demonstrated in the 1940s by Baird. Thats where it started.

I was under the impression that this would be aired in 3D for those of us that do have 3D televisions, do you know if that's the case or not? It was originally on a list of upcoming content including the olympics opening ceremony and the 100 metres race.
