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

Undercover Dads is a cult British television programme popular with both kids and adults. Created by format producer Howard Davidson, it first aired on BBC2 and CBBC in 2009. Presented by comedian, actor and puppeteer Dave Chapman (The Slammer, The Thick of It, Shooting Stars, Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow), the show challenges a hard-working dad to get to know his kids, bring his family closer together and win them prizes....by dressing up as made-up TV expert 'Mega Nanny' and spending two whole days in their company without them realising it.
