I seem to remember Max having that TV a good 2 or 3 years before the show actually went widescreen.
Though bizarrely, from around late 1995, the Brookside omnibus went out in 14:9- though all the examples I've seen online and compared with the original weekday airings, it's cropped with the picture shifted upwards (so all the cropping is from the bottom of the picture). Hollyoaks at this time, on the other hand, was made in 16:9, and the omnibus did have extra picture from the weekday showings.
