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

Paris is a British sitcom produced by Talkback Productions for Channel 4. It was written jointly by Irish writers Arthur Mathews and Graham Linehan, best known for their later sitcom Father Ted. The show only lasted one series, consisting of six episodes, broadcast between 14 October and 18 November 1994. Set in the 1920s, Paris chronicled the antics of a loud-mouthed, hard-drinking French artist called Alain Degout, and the Left Bank pseudo-intellectuals and failed artists he associates with. The show was not well received by the critics, and it has never been repeated. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
