Intriguing! A few clues in that video suggest it's more like 1994/1995 rather than 1990 as mentioned in the title... that said, everything seems a lot more old skool than I remember...
There's a "Buy Now, Pay in '95" ad in the background at one point, so I'm almost certain it's 1994.

Turnabout is on the TV, Wikipedia says it ran from 30 August 1994 to 14 October 1994 that year and the widescreen sets for sale fits with Channel 4 PAL+ starting that August.

This is an interesting compilation of clips of 1970's TV, mostly BBC and including a lot of schools programmes.

From when the Sky analogue service was switched off. Feels like a different world now:

Been waiting for this to arrive on YouTube for years and years - Trev and Simon's Other Video!
https://youtu.be/De1eisrFP70
I watched this video so many times I can pretty much recite the copyright warning, I loved it so much. For many people the highlight will be the chance to see lots of clips from Going Live (all accompanied, of course, by Pip laughing hysterically in the background) and there's loads of lovely moments involving Ken and Eddie Kennedy, The Singing Corner, The Jetsetters and loads more. There's also some of their longer filmed sketches, including Snooker vs Pool ("Here we are in Ealing, home of the famous old Ealing comedies!" "But comedy is the last thing on our minds today!"), their trip to France and the majestic Ninja Day Off, a really clever, funny and brilliantly performed and directed sketch which would happily appear on any adult comedy show of the time and not look out of place.
As well as all that, it's all framed with new links based around a day in the life of Trev and Simon, and these are great fun as well. The sequence with Trev playing the piano is a genuinely brilliant solo comedy performance. But my absolute favourite bit when I was a kid is the post-credits sequence where they have to do an out of vision promotion for the Stupid Video ("We've got to do an advert for the other video!" "This is the Other Video!" "No, the Stupid Video!" "This is a stupid video!") and it goes on for absolutely ages and when I first saw it I laughed for about a fortnight.
I'm so pleased it's finally turned up on a format other than a thirty year old VHS, I loved Trevor and Simon and the whole thing is a showcase of the pair at the absolute peak of their powers, and also an illustration of what a great show Going Live was that it could give them the resources and the freedom to do stuff like that. It's brilliant. Plus special guest Grant Bovey!

Here’s a bit of interesting one. Part of a Saturday morning from TV-am in 1991, consisting of Top Banana and Hey Hey Its Saturday! It’s worth noting to two reasons, firstly Timmy Mallett being drafted in for HHIS, presumably to promote the upcoming Wacaday run. From 32:45 in, there’s also a live throw to TVS for a preview of Motormouth. I can’t say I’ve seen anything like that before with the Saturday mornings shows for CITV and TV-am, or GMTV for that matter, barring the final ad break of the breakfast slot.

GMTV never really had much in the way of live kids programming did it? Maybe some of the early stuff with Simon Parkin was

Assuming it is from around 1995, what possible reason would there have been to get a "wide screen tv" back then?
Interesting to see a TV with built in satellite receiver.

Viewers of existing 4:3 sets complained about the deep letterboxing though, so broadcasts ended up being rare. For example, Hollyoaks was made in widescreen from launch in 1995, but I believe at the time only the omnibus was shown in 16:9.
I can see if you were a film buff it would be useful to reduce the size of the letterboxing, but unless you were watching one of the PALplus broadcasts, you would just have been zooming/cropping existing VHS or LaserDisc copies, so the picture quality wouldn't be any sharper.
Of course if you were purchasing the set outright, it would have been good future-proofing for digital widescreen broadcasts.

I gather C4 were the only UK broadcaster to really bother and even then it was very limited.
I suppose if you were into laserdiscs then that would perhaps make it worthwhile, though I suppose you wouldn't be renting a WS set if you had that sort of cash to throw around

I know the BBC did overnight engineering tests of PALplus (there's videos on YouTube), but I'm not sure that they ever broadcast any programming that way.
