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

Outside Source is a radio news programme broadcast on the BBC World Service and mainly presented by James Reynolds. It was also the name of a television programme that utilised social media in the presentation of its stories. It was usually presented by BBC analysis editor Ros Atkins on BBC News and BBC World News until its cancellation in March 2023. Outside Source replaced a standard edition of BBC World News, which originally was an edition of World News Today. In the UK it replaced the BBC News at Nine along with World News Today on Friday and weekends. Normally between 23 December and 1 January Outside Source is replaced by an edition of World News Today at 19:00 on BBC World News and at 21:00 on the BBC News Channel. According to the BBC, "Outside Source aims to open up the news process, enabling people to discover the latest on the stories that matter to them. An hour-long World Service Radio show is the first element of the pan-Global News format to be brought to air." The programme aired for the final time on domestic BBC News channel and BBC World News on 30 March 2023. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
