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
Pairs of comedians take on survival-themed tasks to earn badges from host David Mitchell. The show is a team-based competition that feels like a playful TV game.

What happens
Outsiders is a British comedy game show broadcast on Dave. Pairs of comedians compete in survival-themed tasks for badges awarded by the host, David Mitchell. On release, the show was widely compared to Taskmaster, a Dave original programme in which comedians were set tasks to complete as individuals, which had moved to Channel 4 in 2020. In the first series, which began in September 2021, the contestants were Toussaint Douglass, Ed Gamble, Kerry Godliman, Jessica Knappett, Jamali Maddix and Lou Sanders. Series 2 was shown from November to December 2022 with Maisie Adam, Fatiha El-Ghorri, Darren Harriott, Jessica Hynes, Phil Wang and Joe Wilkinson. Series 3 of Outsiders began on 11 October 2023, with contestants Roisin Conaty, Alan Davies, Guz Khan, Judi Love, Chris McCausland and Laura Smyth. Outsiders was confirmed as cancelled in August 2025. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
