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

The Sketch Show is a British television sketch comedy programme, featuring mainly British comedians, with the addition of Australian comedian Kitty Flanagan from series 2. It aired on ITV between 2001 and 2004. The show was first commissioned in 2001 and was co-produced by a company owned by Steve Coogan. The show started at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1999, and starred Lee Mack, Catherine Tate and Dan Antopolski. Mack later expressed regret at not including them in the TV show.
