The Hub

Country: United Kingdom

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 Hub is a news programme that was shown on the international news and current affairs channel BBC World News, between February 2010 and December 2012. The programme was launched as part of a network-wide refresh and is presented by Nik Gowing. The programme aired at 17:00 GMT (17:00 BST in the summer) for 90 minutes. The Hub replaced an edition of World News Today and served as a news 'nerve centre' for South Asia and the Middle East, providing both the headlines, and detailed analysis of the global news agenda. An edition of World Business Report followed the programme. The programme aired its last edition on 21 December 2012 and was replaced by Global on 14 January 2013. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
