Really? Thats interesting I wounder what the difference was between this V the 3D broadcasting that we had in the early 2010s.
The 3D technology then used different coloured lenses. The 2010s was polarised light.

only a few days AFAIK. I think being the national broadcaster it was more imperative to get it restored as quickly as possible.

Both experiments failed
When you think about it though the 3D that came out in the 2010s was still around a long time before it was completely phased out.

Looks like the telemovie will not see the light again. Byrne’s boyfriend Gordon Wood (played by David Lyons) was acquitted of her murder in 2012 by the NSW Court of Appeal.
The former was an absolute failure and was axed in May the following year due to low ratings.
Studio 10 OTOH was successful and had an impressive 10 year run ending just before Christmas last year
