You can't use images from offsite, lest the BBC be besieged by copyright lawyers as the result of actions by incautious Researchers.
There are various images onsite you can use, though not all are listed in the Picture Library, but as far as I know smileys are the only gifs.

Wait! I've found an animated gif in the h2g2 tour: B66643
However, I don't think there are many of these (wich explains my forgetting about them), and new images tend to be jpegs.

OK you're dealing with a recovering technophobe here~
i know how to add a gif as i've a bunch saved to my pc but you lost me at jpeg.
Never mind ~ i can live without my flying pigs and perhaps the world isn't ready for my worryingly large collection of anti Bill Gates and MSN cartoons and gifs.
Thanks again for the help

A jpeg is just another image format; on h2g2 both (apart from smileys) use the same GuideML: <./>GuideML-PICTURE</.> and F113560?thread=581993

"OK you're dealing with a recovering technophobe here"
So you probably don't want to know the other ways of getting images to appear, as they are even more technical. I had some flying pigs up for a while. I don't think there's one there at the moment but I haven't looked for a bit and may be misremembering.
Anyhow, you might want to look at this onsite image: <./>B5594633</.>
There are quite a few animated GIFs in the older "blobs" (the name for onsite images). Not a flying pig though.
