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

What happens
Hunted is a British reality television series that began airing on Channel 4 on 10 September 2015. The series features contestants who are instructed to go on the run for a period of 21 days (previously 28 days between series 1–2 and then 25 days from series 3–7) in mainland Great Britain, whilst avoiding a team of Hunters composed of former and serving police, intelligence personnel, and on-foot teams. During their time, the Hunters have access to contestants' personal information and use "powers of the state" such as ANPR, CCTV and call tracing to locate contestants. At times, the Hunters will use social media and monetary rewards to members of the public (and captured contestants) for information leading to a successful capture. On the final day, any remaining contestants must reach a designated "extraction" point before being captured, winning a share of £100,000. It has a similar format to the programme Wanted which aired from 1996–1997 on Channel 4. A celebrity adaptation, Celebrity Hunted, is also produced in aid of Stand Up to Cancer, where contestants compete for a shorter time period of 14 days. In March 2025, Channel 4 confirmed that Hunted and Celebrity Hunted would return for their eighth and seventh series respectively. Filmed in Summer 2025 the eighth regular series aired from 12 October 2025 to 3 November 2025. A seventh celebrity series will follow it in early 2026. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
