Good demo 3D content?

I recently bought a 3D TV and so far I've seen three 3D films and I think it's excellent. A few friends and family have been over and are interested in seeing what it looks like, but I don't own any 3D content as I get them via Lovefilm.
Both the TV and blu ray player can get youtube, and I know youtube supports 3D now, but I can't find any decent content. It's just a bunch of kids waving a sword at the camera! The only relatively decent one was from the BBC Olympic coverage where they had a woman doing the hurdles.
Anyone know of any decent demo-worthy 3D content on youtube or anywhere else for that matter?

If you've got your PC connected to the screen then here's a few places to try:

Some of the David Attenborough on sky 3D is immense (channel 217 think its part of the entertainment package but you have to ring sky to get them to switch it on):beer:0

Thanks solitaire. Connecting my pc to the tv is possible but it's a pain. Looking at those links they're downloadable files, not streams. I've got WDTV Live so I can play stuff from my hard drive.
I'm not entirely sure how 3D content is stored/played back. Does the source device it's playing from have to do some from of 3D 'decoding', or does it just send it straight to the output device? If the former, then I doubt this will work for me as I don't think the WDTV can handle 3D (?), but if the latter then hopefully my TV can put it all together and give me some nice shiny 3D!

Not got 3D so not sure how the files work!
But I think as long as the TV knows it's getting a "SbS" (side by side) 3D stream it should work it out itself...Laters

I found these YouTube clips gave a good 3d pop-out demo on my tv...
