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

Wild West is a British television dark comedy sitcom created by Simon Nye, which aired from 22 October 2002 to 13 April 2004. The series was set in the Cornish hamlet of St Gweep (filmed on location in Portloe), observing the strange goings-on in the local community. It stars an ensemble cast, led by Dawn French and Catherine Tate as shop owners Mary Trewednack and Angela Phillips. The first series of the sitcom aired on prime-time BBC1, where its eccentricities met with a poor critical and popular response, but a second series was commissioned, and both series have received retrospective praise.
