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

Impact (also known as Tin Kickers) is a two-part British television miniseries, written and created by Matthew Graham and Nigel McCrery, that was due for broadcast on ITV in January 2002. The series, starring Hugh Bonneville, Iain Glen and Sarah Parish, follows a team of air accident investigators who look into the explosion of a commercial airliner over rural England. The series was filmed over the course of three weeks between 27 August and 17 September 2001, with the majority of filming taking place on the Isle of Man, with additional filming in Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire. Following the 11 September 2001 attacks, the subject matter of the series was deemed to be too sensitive, and as a result, was never broadcast on British television. The series was first broadcast in Germany on 12 November 2003 as a single feature-length production, under the title Der mysteriöse Passagier. The series was also later broadcast in France in 2007. Notably, the series has never been made available on DVD. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
