There is an unreleased and un-leaked version of the 2012 ARGOS Christmas advert, not dissimilar to the infamous "rainbow for adults" sketch which leaked many years ago.

To watch it we had all our phones taken away from us, and there was a pretty thorough "OK you all saw it, funny hey, time to destroy the CD"

I live in the states and for a second it was like you were talking in code. Google to the rescue!

Yes that is the famous Rainbow Sketch which leaked. It was very similar to that, but with alien characters from an advert Argos (UK catalogue store) was launching for Christmas 2012
