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

The Marlow Murder Club is a British-American cosy mystery comedy-drama television series based on Robert Thorogood's series of novels set in the English town of Marlow, Buckinghamshire. The show is co-commissioned by UKTV and Masterpiece, airing in the UK on U&Drama and in the US on PBS, and streaming on U and PBS Passport, respectively. The first series of The Marlow Murder Club, consisting of a single story, was adapted by Thorogood from his original novel of the same name. The second series, which began airing in the UK on 19 March 2025, consists of three two-part stories: the first adapted by Thorogood from his sequel novel, Death Comes to Marlow, and the second and third original stories by other writers. In May 2025, the show was renewed for a third series, following the same three-story format as the second and including an adaptation of Thorogood's third Marlow novel, The Queen of Poisons, which screened on 18 March 2026; The second and third stories are titled Murder in the Dark and An Appetite for Murder, screening on 25 March and 1st April respectively.
