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

BBC Scotland Investigates was a current affairs programme broadcast in Scotland by BBC Scotland. Originally known as Frontline Scotland, the programme typically featured current issues affecting the Scottish people. Notable examples include gang warfare in Glasgow, problems with the NHS, the likely effects of increased gambling in Scottish cities and North Sea oil. No new episodes of BBC Scotland Investigates’ have been broadcast since 2018. The BBC’s current investigation series is known as BBC Disclosure, with similar journalists like Samantha Poling. In most cases, the entire programme is devoted to one topic, and consists entirely of an in-depth documentary piece from a single reporter (similar to the BBC's Panorama programme).
