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

Pantomime Quiz, initially titled Pantomime Quiz Time and later Stump the Stars, is an American television game show produced and hosted by Mike Stokey. Running from 1947 to 1959, it was one of the few television series – along with The Arthur Murray Party, Down You Go, The Ernie Kovacs Show, The Original Amateur Hour, and Tom Corbett, Space Cadet – to air on all four TV networks in the United States during the Golden Age of Television.
