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

Kilroy is a BBC One daytime chat show hosted by Robert Kilroy-Silk that began on 24 November 1986 and finished on 23 January 2004 after 17 years. Originally called Day to Day, the programme was renamed to Kilroy in September 1987. The format featured the host moving among an audience made up of experts and members of the public, speaking to them one by one on a different topical or moral issue per episode. In February 1999, the show was one of three to be caught up in a fake guests controversy and faced similar accusations to ITV's Trisha and The Vanessa Show. Kilroy-Silk defended his show saying that after 1,700 programmes and 120,000 guests, it had only been hoaxed four or five times and called for people who hoax programmes to be prosecuted.
