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

Gower's Cricket Monthly is a BBC2 magazine show presented by the former England batsman David Gower after he retired from the game. It was the first terrestrial show ever devoted to the sport and ran for four series from 1995 to 1998 plus some spin-off programmes to preview major finals. It also complemented the new weekly Cricket Focus that ran in Grandstand during the same period. The shows consisted of highlights, features, previews and interviews. The first three series were all linked on location but the fourth was presented from studio TC5 at TV Centre. It was the first BBC Sport show to have its own website during the early days of the internet. Regular reporters on the show included Ralph Dellor, Mark Little, Simon Hughes, Steve Lee, Chris Broad, Fiona Stephenson, Mike Wedderburn, Jonathan Agnew, Eddie Butler and Steve May The series ended in 1998 when the BBC lost the cricket rights to Channel 4.
