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
Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon play exaggerated versions of themselves on a restaurant tour of northern England. They bicker, tell impressions, and discuss their careers and personal lives between meals.

What happens
The Trip is a British television sitcom and feature film directed by Michael Winterbottom, starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon as fictionalised versions of themselves on a restaurant tour of northern England. The series was edited into feature film format and premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2010. The full series was first broadcast on BBC Two and BBC HD in the United Kingdom in November 2010. Both the TV series and film received very positive reviews. Three further series followed. The Trip to Italy was broadcast on BBC Two in 2014, The Trip to Spain was filmed in 2016 and broadcast on Sky Atlantic in 2017, and The Trip to Greece was filmed in 2019 and aired on Sky One in 2020. Like the first series, the second, third and fourth were each edited into feature films. At the time, Winterbottom, Coogan and Brydon stated that The Trip to Greece would be the final series for the show. However, a fifth series, The Trip to the Northern Lights, set in Scandinavia, was announced in June 2025. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
