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 Andrew Marr Show is a Sunday morning talk show which was presented by Andrew Marr. It was broadcast on BBC One from 2005 to 2021. The programme replaced the long-running Breakfast with Frost as the network's flagship Sunday talk show when David Frost decided to retire. Originally launched as Sunday AM, it was renamed The Andrew Marr Show in September 2007 when the show returned after its summer break. Marr interviewed political figures and others involved in the current events of the week in every episode. The programme begins with a review of the Sunday papers, for which Marr is joined by two or three different guests. It also featured BBC News and BBC Weather updates. The programme shared a studio with Sunday Politics, Newsnight and HARDtalk, BBC World News, GMT, Impact, Global and Focus on Africa. Following Marr's departure from the BBC in 2021, the show was broadcast under the temporary title Sunday Morning, aired from 9 January 2022 to 28 August 2022. Editors included Rob Burley and founding editor Barney Jones, whose last show was on 18 January 2015. Between 2005 and 2013, the programme's title sequence was a pastiche of the television series The Prisoner. The programme was recorded at New Broadcasting House after September 2012. The programme aired for the final time on 19 December 2021, and was replaced by Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, which began airing on 4 September 2022. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
