  O.K. I finaly got a chance to catch the show you are refering to and there
is little doubt in my mind that they are not using povray for their animations.
In fact I doubt they are using any kind of raytracing package to produce them.
Most likely they are using a simple phong shading or scanline rendering system.
They are not of very high quality and quite likely made in a program much LIKE
lightwave or maybe 3ds max but not necessarily those packages.

  Pov could produce animations like that but they would look much better in
my opion :)
