I watch it via my Sky box (that's the same signal as FreeSat isn't it?) and 
I certainly didn't notice any stretching (it would be quite obvious in 
snooker because there are lots of perfectly spherical objects in view all 
the time).  What made you think it wasn't widescreen?

Scrap heap challenge was good fun, but it got a bit annoying when they 
obviously planted useful stuff.  Like "oh look there's a complete working V8 
engine that's just lying here under this rusted car shell".
