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

Dossa and Joe is a 2002 Australian television comedy series, created and co-written by Caroline Aherne. Peter Herbert served as co-writer. Made by Granada Australia for the BBC, the Sydney-based series centres on a working class couple called Dossa and Joe. When Joe retires from his job as a factory worker, the couple realizes that they know very little about each other despite being married for forty years. Against Joe's wishes, the couple begins marriage counselling. The series starred Anne Charleston as Dossa and Michael Caton as Joe. The cast also included Jeanie Drynan and Roy Billing. While the series received positive reviews, there were some dissenters. The series failed to earn good ratings and was not renewed for a second series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
