Today marks the start of a new era for ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Two as ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Two HD launches. HD take-up is growing rapidly – as of January 2013 over 12m homes (nearly half of UK homes) were able to watch in HD, with 20m (80%) expected by end 2015 and I’m thrilled that ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Two HD is being launched as the next step on the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳’s HD journey. The channel has always been committed toÌýhigh quality, engaging and ambitious programmes and now we can show them at their very best.

From Paul Hollywood’s new series, , to a major new documentary series looking at the inner workings of the NHS, , viewers will now have a dedicated channel showing these programmes in glorious HD.

³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Two has enjoyed a real resurgence in drama and I’m delighted that ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Two HD will be showing forthcoming dramas , a thrilling new crime serial starring Gillian Anderson, and Paula Milne's three-part serial about marriage, power and politics , with David Tennant and Emily Watson in the lead roles. Later this year we have the adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s prize-winning , starring Mark Rylance as Thomas Cromwell.

We have an exciting summer of sports and live events to look forward to with Wimbledon, Glastonbury rugby and Diamond League athletics all being shown at their spectacular best in HD.

Other forthcoming highlights include James May’s and the Tudor season, as well as long-standing favourites such as , and .

³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ One HD is already much loved by audiences, and I hope that ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Two HD will be as popular with viewers, enabling them to see the very best of ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ Two looking at its very best.
