The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Natural World (known as The Natural World until 2001) was a British nature documentary television series broadcast annually on BBC Two and BBC Two HD from 1983 to 2020. It was described by the BBC as its flagship natural history series. Each episode took an in-depth look at a particular natural history event, story or subject from around the globe, though occasionally a two- or three-episode miniseries would be shown. Natural World was produced by the BBC Natural History Unit in Bristol under the stewardship of the series editor, who was responsible for commissioning or acquiring content. Approximately half of the programmes were produced in-house, with the remainder made up of collaborative productions with other broadcasters and acquisitions from independent producers. The series had close ties with the US series Nature, broadcast by PBS. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
