Intelligence Squared is a global debating forum that invites leading intellectual figures to discuss contemporary issues. They've just released their first iq2 Short, an animated version of a debate that took place between Ann Widdecombe and Stephen Fry over the motion 'The Catholic church is a force for good in the world'...

IQ2's ten minute Animated Argument is adapted from a debate staged in 2009 which also featured Christopher Hitchens and John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Abuja. The animation is by Scriberia and features Widdecombe, a convert to Catholicism, in the blue corner, while Fry, an atheist, is in the red.
