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

High & Dry is a British television sitcom created by Marc Wootton for Channel 4. The series is about a plane crash in the Indian Ocean, where five people from the flight find themselves stranded together on a remote island. Although four of the survivors are desperate to be found and rescued, mentally unstable steward Brett Sullivan has other fantasies to play out. He secretly sabotages all attempts to escape the island but his madness becomes more apparent to the survivors over time. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
