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

Deals on Wheels is a British television series first shown on UK TV Channel 4 in 1997. It later aired on the Discovery Channel. Fronted by Mike Brewer and Richard Sutton, the programme aimed to teach viewers how to appraise secondhand cars. The original run of the series was between 1997 and 2001, with five seasons. For season 1, the show was set in a fictional garage. Season 2 was set in a different garage, but for seasons 3 and 4, the show was set in an alley garage, sited off a fictional street. Sutton left the show in 2000, leaving Brewer to continue. The series was cancelled in 2001 to make way for Wheeler Dealers, also with Brewer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
