The thrilling national address from that old woman who’s on all the money is going to be even more exciting than usual this year, thanks to plans to broadcast the Queen’s Speech in 3D for the first time.
The Queen’s message to her populace was recorded last Friday, with BSkyB bringing along the necessary equipment to capture it in HD 3D. You’ll be able to watch it on Sky, the BBC and ITV, should you have the necessary 3D channels and equipment, and not have resorted to locking yourself in the bathroom with your new Nexus 7 and a bottle of Baileys to escape from it all by 3.00pm on Christmas Day.
Given 2012 was the year the Queen took the world by surprise with her starring role in the London Olympics Opening Ceremony, perhaps she’ll be tempted to stick a few more jokes in her round-up this time. Or she might at least move about a bit, so you can tell it’s 3D. [Daily Mail]

Are you Australian mate?
Over here we have respect for the monarch and don’t call her that ‘old woman’.
No, but he does live in Scotland…
well they were their royals first before we ran out and had to go halves.
Quite right, it should be Dame Helen Mirren.
Pip pip.
What’s this “we” business? I’m looking forward to the extra day off work when she croaks.
Or when Harry gets married.
Hopefully she’ll drop dead when his real dad turns up at the wedding. That’s got to be worth a few days off.
You’re not far off from treason ‘hoping she’ll drop dead’ and as under current law you can still be executed by hanging for that I’d be careful, especially as she now ‘hangs’ with 007
If only that was true – the sentence for Treason was changed to life imprisonment (or 3 years with good behaviour
) in 1997.
damn, you can’t even get executed in this country anymore….I blame the Mrs Blair and her European Human Rights cash-cow her husband landed us with.
Why? Are they going to add some special effects this year? Otherwise it just seems a bit pointless.
They’re going to have her base jump from a helicopter into her seat to make it worthwhile.
Didn’t they already do that at the Olympics this year?
Yes, but she wasn’t in tandem with Prince Philip!
Why waste all that money on her training just to do it once? She should do it for every public appearance from now on. If only to get value for money out of our taxes!
That’s how the Queen’s Speech usually looks like to me.
The screen’s usually black for me. Mainly because I never watch it and just catch up with the highlights on the news later.
Would rather pop my eyeballs out with a spoon than watch that pointless hag in any dimension.
Proud to be British.
Pop your eyeballs out with a spoon? Careful – they’re the only two balls you’ve got, and we taxpayers don’t particularly want to be saddled with the cost of treating any more of your numerous medical shortcomings. And you say you are proud to be British? I somehow doubt you qualify.
Sounds like you’d suck prince charlie off given the chance.
I’ve always preferred Channel 4′s alternative speech offerings! Sacha Baron Cohen should be the next king/president/dictator!
I really should watch that one year I guess…
Bloody marvellous, i’ve always wanted to watch the Queen in 3D. It will be absolutely spiffing!
Maybe she will get those baps out this year. Which I can only imagine to be fantastic in 3D.
Finally, I can dazzle my eyes by watching the Queen read a speech written by the big headed buffoon in chrage of our country in FULL 1080p 3D!
(I don’t even own a 3D telly. Will it be available for 3DS, I think seeing the Queen in all THREE DIMENSIONS is something I cannot live without)
As along as I don’t have to watch her annus horribilis in 3D…
