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.
How it feels
The show follows homeowners whose homes have been damaged or left incomplete by dishonest builders. A team helps fix the problems and tries to contact the builders by phone.

What happens
Cowboy Trap is a British daytime television show on BBC One, originally hosted by Clive Holland, and later presented by Jonnie Irwin. It follows homeowners who have had cowboy builders who in some cases have rendered their homes uninhabitable (two cases in each show). The team addresses the problems and usually confront the cowboy builder by a phone call, though this is not always successful. The show's second series replaced To Buy or Not to Buy.
