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.

How it feels

A host named Steve Miller helps overweight British families change their eating and exercise habits. He visits them, gives advice, and sets weight loss goals. The show checks back on the families months later to see how they are doing.

What happens

Fat Families is a British documentary reality show that was broadcast on Sky1 from 6 January to 30 December 2010. Steve Miller helps overweight families to improve their lifestyles and eating habits. In each programme Miller initially spends 24 hours with the family and observes their diet on a typical day. He then spends the rest of the week educating the family about what they can do to lose weight. At the end of the week Miller modifies the family home to keep them motivated. The families are then given a further 9 weeks to lose weight and Miller gives each person a target weight loss. Families are also revisited months later in episodes titled "Second Helpings" to see how they have progressed. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
