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

Angela and Friends is a British talk show which was produced by Crackit Productions for Sky One. The show aired at 12 p.m., Monday to Friday, and was presented by actress Angela Griffin, who was joined by three "friends" in each show to discuss the latest news, celebrity gossip as well as other topical issues. The show was the centrepiece of Sky One's first foray into daytime television and was originally commissioned for 90 episodes – 18 weeks – each of 90 minutes. Viewers were encouraged to contact Angela and her "friends". They could do this by text, email, Facebook or Twitter. Griffin read out these messages during the show. In March 2010, after the show finished for a two-week Easter break, it was announced that the series had been recommissioned for a second series, at the slightly later time of 2.30 p.m. on Monday, 12 April. The duration of the show was reduced to 60 minutes. For the last six weeks of the second series, it was brought forward to the time of 12:00 p.m. The series ended on 2 July 2010.
