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

Guilt is a Scottish mystery thriller television series. It was the first drama commission of BBC Scotland. Episodes premiered on that channel before being broadcast across the UK on BBC Two. Written and created by Neil Forsyth, Guilt initially centres on two brothers, played by Mark Bonnar and Jamie Sives, who are involved in a hit and run. The series eventually draws a large cast of characters into an ongoing story. The first series of Guilt was broadcast in 2019, and the second in the autumn of 2021. A third and final series was released in April 2023. The show was a critical hit and was subsequently broadcast around the world. Guilt is widely regarded as one of the best ever Scottish television dramas. The New York Times has called it "Scotland's most notable TV drama". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
