I am not sure how much is BBC and How much is Sony
(and also how much is 2D up converted so to say)
But there is very little 3D in a long shot in any case - basic optics ...
Having watched a fair amount of 3D material I have never found that it regularly offered a constant WOW effect over good HD ... and in may cases the technicalities of cameras not matching were a detracting factor. (I think this will only go away when the cameras are virtual!)
If you think of films liike Avatar or Ice Age there is very little "deep" 3D except for certain effects sequences .
In any case there are about 8 cues we use to determine depth and stereopsis is about number 8 ( may be 7).
so do we need it ????
