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

Scam Interceptors is a British factual television programme about Internet fraud. Inspired by a 2020 episode of Panorama featuring ethical hacker Jim Browning, the programme shows a television team (including presenters Rav Wilding and Nick Stapleton, Browning and others) as they monitor and intervene in scams in progress. The programme has a greater focus on the victims and preventing actual live scams taking place than the Panorama episode. The show is filmed mostly inside the BBC Pacific Quay studios in Glasgow.
