I'm not sure about Life Story, but Fools and Horses was made for TVs which were 4:3 in ration (not widescreen ones). So of course it won't fill the screen on modern TVs, and instead will have black bars on either side - if you want to I'm sure your TV will allow you to resize it to fit, but that will result in a stretched imaged (making everyone look a little bit overweight).

 

The same will be true of other Gold stuff - they were simply made in the old aspect ratio. Showing them with bars either side is the correct way to do it.

yes, you can only force resize format of Only Fools and Horses to fit the screen

It's a good few years since one TV Channel showed 2001 in letterbox format with black bands at the top and bottom of the screen. on which they superimposed artificial stars. Then when anything appeared, it seemed to come out of nowhere.
