Perhaps I'm wrong (most likely I am), but James bringing up the Malcolm McLaren presented episode before has got me thinking, what if that is the HD test episode?

tvforum.uk

missingepisodes.proboards.com

The missingepisodes thread mentions that there was a NHP between 1994/1995 that was shot in HD.

The Malcolm McLaren episode of TOTP is the only one of the year that has this letterboxing effect on it

Cropping out the bars gives this frame size (looks about 14:9)

The Popscene folder also has 3 copies of it - the raw studio footage/inserts that James mentioned before, a timecoded ex-archive copy of the full show (no other ex-archive copy has a timecode) and a broadcast VHS copy of the episode.

If they were trialling a different look to the show, why did they do it when they had a guest presenter instead of Mayo, Goodier, etc?
