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

Tarrant Lets the Kids Loose is a television programme shown in 2009 on the UKTV channel Watch. It was produced by UKTV along with North One (a division of All3Media), and hosted by Chris Tarrant. It gave children aged three to six the chance to fulfil an ambition, by undertaking a task or challenge, such as shopping in a supermarket or running a sweet shop. The children believe they were completing the task by themselves, when in reality they are closely watched by their parents and filmed on hidden camera. The series began filming in front of a live studio audience in July 2009 and debuted on Watch on 4 October 2009. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
