Sky Movies is to air the UK premiere of Casino Royale in high definition on Christmas Day.
The film will air at 3:10pm, directly after a high definition broadcast of The Queen's Christmas Message at 3pm.
"Sky Movies is very excited to be able to broadcast two of the most popular Christmas Day TV highlights in a way that the British Public has never seen before," said Sky Movies director Ian Lewis. "Over the years, the Queen’s speech has become a Christmas institution that not only looks back on the previous 12 months but also forward to the future. As Britain is shaping the future of television with millions of HD-ready television sets already in British homes, we felt that it would be appropriate to celebrate Her Majesty’s 50th Christmas Message by broadcasting it in High Definition."
