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

Lawless is a two-part British television thriller miniseries, first broadcast on ITV on November 8 and 9, 2004. An early credit for screenwriter Chris Lang, perhaps best known for his long-running series Unforgotten, Lawless follows the story of DI John Paxton, who ends up on the run after a murderer walks free from court because of a legal technicality, which in turn results in the death of his beloved boss and best friend. The series was directed by Roger Gartland and starred Trevor Eve, Orla Brady and David Calder. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
