UK Channel 4 set to throw some 3D programming our way

Sony and Panasonic are both hellbent on convincing us their forthcoming super-duper 3D television sets are the future, but before we all start selling off the children and re-mortgaging our homes, how about a little taster of what it might be like? Channel 4, the British answer to a question nobody ever asked, is about to offer up a selection of 3D programming this month, which it dubs as a return to "good old fashioned fun." The menu includes a documentary about the Queen's coronation (in other words, ancient history), a magic show, and even a couple of goodies like Flesh for Frankenstein and Friday the 13th, Part III. If we find can remember to get down to the local Sainsbury's and grab ourselves a free pair of those rad-looking three-dee glasses, you might even be treated to our eyes-on impressions. Watch this three-dimensional space!

Can we please stop calling this anaglyph crap "3D", now that there are actual full color alternatives? This is some "ColorCode" Amber/Blue stuff, wich is just as bad as Red/Green or Red/Turquoise. Anything that does not use polarized filter glasses or LCD shutter glasses should not be allowed to call itself 3D.
