According to UK newspaper the guardian, this years Dr Who special is going to be filmed in 3D:
Doctor Who goes 3D for 50th birthdayThe Time Lord is accustomed to travelling through space and time, but BBC1's Doctor Who will have an added dimension for its 50th-anniver...
I must say that I am a little underwhelmed. For me, 3D really doesn’t improve the viewing experience. I’d rather they spent the money on something else, an extra couple of episodes perhaps.
Dr Who who for me, has always been about good story. If the story is good it can make you forget about the fishing line holding the planet suspended in space.
And it appears that quiet a few others share similar feelings:

BBC (that are apparently skint) to make Dr Who 3D special - for the few hundred people that have a 3D tv. That's good use of public funds!Anthony Cutt

Dr Who's 50th special in 3D. Rubber Hartnell & Troughton heads floating at the screen is the only thing that can make that news unshit.James
It will still be available in 2D of course which is good for those in the general population that are vision impaired and can't process 3D.
So does this news excite you as a Who fan?
