The BBC for some reason seem to be moving to this aspect ratio a number of new programs are in this format, The Cry, Black Earth Rising and Dr Who to name a few.
This is not a directors choice as Dr Who is in this format and there different directors of the show each episode.
I have to say I do and always have preferred films to be shown in their correct aspect ratio going out of my way back in the days of VHS to track down widescreen versions of films rather than full screen. I won't even upgrade one of my favorite films Equilibrium to Blu Ray from DVD as they cut it down to 16:9 from letter box.
But I do like it when my screen filled and I always find it that more immersive when letterbox films switch to 16:9 IMAX. And even that is wider than normal aspect ratio.
