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

Celebrity Big Brother was a celebrity edition of Big Brother. It lasted for 24 days, starting on 21 July 2002 and ending on 12 August 2002. A proportion of the profits from Eviction votes went to charities. This was the only series of Celebrity Big Brother that was made as a part of the Big Brother Australia format. This series used the same house from Big Brother 2, which itself used the house from Big Brother 1, but slightly remodeled. The bathroom was off limits to the cameras. No further celebrity editions were commissioned on Network 10 before the entire franchise was axed by the network in 2008. Big Brother was rebooted on the Nine Network from 2012 to 2014. Following the conclusion of the 2014 civilian season, rumours had begun circulating that Nine were looking at reviving the Celebrity Big Brother edition of the show for broadcast in 2015 which were later confirmed by host Sonia Kruger. However, By July 2015, The Celebrity Apprentice Australia had replaced the proposed Celebrity Big Brother revival. A third revival of the show by Seven Network saw the second celebrity instalment of the series, titled Big Brother VIP. Several guest celebrities appeared briefly in the series on only a temporary basis without becoming a housemate. These included Carla Bonner (Neighbours actress) and Bert Newton. Warwick Capper was ejected from the house for flashing his penis at Kimberley Cooper during an argument. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
