The sci-fi epic, which swept up at the box office and won a few Oscars as well, will be first shown on Sky 3D at 8pm on Christmas Eve.

John Cassy, Sky 3D’s channel director, said of the deal: “Confirming Avatar in our Christmas line up for Sky 3D is a huge honour and fantastic news for customers.”

“We hope 3D will bring people together to enjoy a whole new television experience  over this festive and special time of year,” he added.
