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

Banded Brothers (also known as Banded Brothers: The Mongoose Mob) is a British television program that aired on BBC Two in 2010. It followed the lives of a family of banded mongooses in Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda. The series was inspired by the Banded Mongoose Research Project run by scientists from the University of Exeter and Cambridge University. Dr Michael Cant of University of Exeter and other researchers spent six months in Uganda assisting the BBC in obtaining footage without disturbing the animals. It aired on Sundays during February and March 2010, and was filmed and presented in the style of Meerkat Manor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
