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

Sweet Revenge is a two-part British television drama series, created and written by playwright Sandy Welch, that first broadcast on BBC1 on 15 October 2001. The series stars Paul McGann, Sophie Okonedo and Pam Ferris, and follows Patrick Vine (McGann), an enigmatic Professor, who, when not teaching History and Anthropology, runs a sideline in helping people get revenge. As a group of wronged Londoners employ Vine to help exact revenge upon those who have mistreated them, Ellen (Okonedo), who is seeking revenge on her cheating husband, gradually grows closer to Vine. The series was directed by actor David Morrissey. The series broadcast over two consecutive nights, with the concluding episode following on 16 October 2001. The first episode drew 6.61 million viewers, while viewing figures for the second were unrecorded. The series is yet to be released on DVD; however, both episodes are available to watch for free on YouTube. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
