3D TV - it just makes you sick.

The eyes have it!

3D FANS, did you read the big news? Sadly, Buckingham Palace has decided that Wills and Katie's royal nuptials will not be shown in 3D in April. Perish the thought of seeing a smiling Camilla in 3D!
Sky, which launched the 3D channel last October, had been so keen to persuade the Palace to allow the new technology that they had filmed a mock wedding with the two leads played by stand-ins at a church in Eastbourne in January.
But the broadcaster got a right royal thumbs down for the April 29th hoe down at Westminster Abbey because of so-called logistical reasons.
Ironically, I visited Sky's studios in Isleworth just off the busy A4 this week for a meeting. I was surprised at how big the set-up is there, with several studio buildings stretched across the compound. It reminded me of the Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire where the James Bond movies are shot, where the set-up is very similar.
Anyway, at the end of the meeting, there was a Sky 3D set sat in the foyer when we were invited to have a go by putting on the 3D glasses.
At the time, the television set was showing a rugby match and the view was quite unnerving. Players seemed to step out of the screen towards you, graphics jumped out at you. Apparently, watching darts with a head on view of the arrow arching towards you is quite something.
One of those with me said she found watching sport in 3D quite nauseous. It was a bizarre experience which got you right up close and personal to the action.
We've got 3D, HD and all sorts of televisual paraphenalia. Keeping up with technology is mind-bending.
Driving to Isleworth for the meeting, I tuned in to TalkSport where for the first time I heard the disgraced Sky duo, Andy Gray and Richard Keys present their mid-morning show.
The duo are apparently being handsomely rewarded by the radio station for the shows where they have sought sanctuary since leaving Sky for their off-air remarks about female assistant referee Sian Massey, as well as the subsequent incriminating film footage of their laddish behaviour.
Personally, I don't go with the flow on this one. It wasn't clever, but this was no hanging offence. The reaction was totally over the top and the punishment certainly did not fit the crime.
As has been suggested by some supporters of Gray and Keys, if the same sexist principles applied to ITV's "Loose Women" and the "Vagina Monologues" theatre show, then where is the balance?
So many different agendas were at play here from the politically-correct brigade and those who had been sharpening their knives for Gray and Keys for sometime.
They are a big loss to Sky's excellent football coverage bringing authority and passion. What both men demonstrated on their radio show is that these guys know their football, their analysis is sharp, and they are entertaining. I thoroughly enjoyed their chats with Brighton boss Gus Poyet and former Chelsea legend John Hollins. Sky's loss is TalkSport's gain.
