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

Revolting is a British sketch/prank TV show starring Heydon Prowse and Jolyon Rubinstein, which aired for five episodes in 2017 on BBC Two. It is a follow-up to The Revolution Will Be Televised, a similar comedy show starring the two, which aired on BBC Three from 2012 to 2015. Revolting includes characters from the previous show like the fictional Tory MP James Twottington-Burbage, as well as new characters like Duckface, a self-important online activist. One sketch on the show which notably caused controversy was "The Real Housewives of ISIS", a parody of The Real Housewives reality television franchise, set among the wives of terrorists from the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
