I was interested in David Attenborough's new programme about plants. It is on Sky 3D - fair enough, if it is good quality filming then I suppose it might bring a new dimension to the life of plants. I don't have, and don't want, 3D so I will not be able to see this show. Shrugs shoulders and walks away.

However the ordinary 2D version is only on Sky Atlantic. Why? I thought Atlantic was to showcase the best of American drama etc. This is clearly a case of them trying to gain new customers by getting us to "choose" more expensive Sky packages when, in reality, there is no real choice at all if you are interested in a specific type of programme be it films or sports or documentaries.

There is no reason at all why this particular programme couldn't be on Sky 1 or Sky Arts.
