I must admit I had thought that in a closed group like this it was OK

of course that doesn't mean it was necessarily legal for them to show
it.

Yes certainly from a shootout point of view we need examples with
fast movement, bright and dark colours, complex sound and possibly
some animation examples. However I am confident that Mark H is on top
of that.
