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 team of three people recreate historical devices and test their efficiency. They use experimental archaeology to see how these inventions might have worked. The tone is lighthearted and curious.

The series had its debut in April 2013, when it screened weekly on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's ABC1. It features a team of three people – John Concannon (the boffin), Will Upjohn (the builder), and Tony Miller (the bombardier) – who engage in "experimental archaeology" to lightheartedly recreate historical devices and test hypotheses based on their efficiency.
