Isn't it always the way...  Point taken about the animation.  I'd like to 
avoid a list argument about graphics too!

Well, the brief bits of footage didn't seem particularly bad, IMHO.  If it 
is any consolation, I think Jenny Clack wins the award for "Humiliation 
among scientific community by TV production company" for the Horizon 
programme citing her as Palaeontology's Avenging Angel.  Her graduate 
student stopped the video and played that particular bit over and over again 
for us...

Thanks for filling us in on the other info.
