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 Tube is a British television documentary about the London Underground network. The programme follows London Underground workers: drivers, station staff and managers, showing the Underground system to the public through their eyes. First shown on ITV London, it was later also broadcast on certain Sky television channels, including Sky Real Lives and Sky3. The programme was produced by Mosaic Films first for Carlton Television, and later for ITV London and Sky Travel. To date, there have been three series produced, including a two-part special on the 7 July 2005 London bombings. The series is now sometimes repeated, mostly on Pick. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
