Chuck 3-D

As I opened my mail this morning, I was pleased to see a special treat: free Chuck 3-D glasses. I say special, but they are just a bit of cardboard with some coloured plastic over the eyes. Still, they were free and how often can you say that these days? Thanks to Virgin 1.

I’m quite excited to watch the 3-D episode of Chuck (25th August, Virgin 1, 9pm), mainly to see if it actually works. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen anything in 3-D before. I’ve led a sheltered life, I know. I’ll report back what it was like.  It does seem like something of a risky move to have a 3-D episode; you might attract curious new viewers, but you might alientate existing viewers who didn’t realise they had to get the glasses.

You can get your own set of Chuck 3-D glasses by buying the 18th August edition of TV & Satellite Week.
