Yep, 16:9 on BBC1HD too. I saw about 10 mins of it as my nephew was watching it while I was at my sister's house, and I was wondering whether they would've made a separate 16:9 version for some very brief scenes featuring text, as when the opening race was on there was various pieces of text onscreen that, had one been watching in the cinema it would no doubt have been placed at the edges of the screen otherwise it'd just look odd (a bit like watching a 16:9 programme with all the text in the 4:3 centre area)

“By contrast, CHEYENNE AUTUMN was screened on Channel 5 at a fair approximation of the original 70mm / 2.21:1 ratio.”
I missed that but it's on again next Saturday, a bit earlier, at 10.45am.
