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

Escape from Scorpion Island is a British-Australian children's TV adventure game show in which contestants try to 'escape from an exotic island with a mind of its own' by doing various challenges to improve their chances of escaping. Series 1 was produced by RDF Television for CBBC and was filmed in Brazil, while series 2 onwards were produced by The Foundation/Freehand for CBBC and ABC Television and were filmed in Australia. The show has been presented by 3 different sets of presenters; Caroline Flack and Reggie Yates (series 1), Jason King and Joel Ross (series 2–3) and Myleene Klass and Johny Pitts (series 4–5). The show ran for five series across four years before being cancelled in 2011 following the end of BBC's and ABC's partnership. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
