Same reason as to why I occasionally watch Jeremy Kyle.. and that is purely to remind me how stupid some people can be

All VM's channels are broadcast in the format the channel owner gives them. It's the same on all platforms.

There is no reason for VM to make a widescreen programme/channel 4:3

See Comedy Central vs. Comedy Central HD for the stupidity of broadcasters.

I just had to read the whole thread as I could not believe the naivety of the OP who thought it possible to widen old format television shows, I wonder what he would have made of Z Cars if it was ever to be repeated.

Z-Cars? No doubt Virgin Media would short-change its customers by stripping the colour off the pictures. We don't pay our colour telly licences so they can pull tricks like that. Rage against the machine!
