Same also went with the BBC for a good number of years of course.
That was the case for sport for a long while, mainly as international feeds were still 4:3 - think only two sports at the 2004 Olympics were in widescren.
The Parkinson Final Conversation programme is flagged as "1.33:1" on IMDB but it has been uploaded to YouTube in 16:9,
