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

Belgravia is a British historical drama television series, set in the 19th century, based on the 2016 novel of the same name by Julian Fellowes—both named after Belgravia, an affluent district of London. The limited series, a co-production between Carnival Films and American cable network Epix, was adapted by Fellowes from his novel, and reunited the production team behind Downton Abbey, with Gareth Neame and Nigel Marchant executive-producing alongside Liz Trubridge and Fellowes. Belgravia was directed by John Alexander and produced by Colin Wratten. The series premiered in the UK on ITV on 15 March 2020 and in the US on Epix on 12 April 2020. A follow-up series, Belgravia: The Next Chapter, written and developed by Helen Edmundson, was announced in September 2022, and premiered in January 2024. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
