The "clown" is David Attenborough, arguably the most influential and
respected naturalist on the planet today. The clip is from one of his
BBC series (The Life of Birds), and there was likely little or no fakery
involved.

Since the clip was certainly pirated, I suspect there's little, if
anything, you can do to restore the proper aspect ratio. You could,
though, make your way to amazon.com and buy the DVD :-)
