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

State Your Case was an Australian television program which aired from May to July 1957 on Sydney station ATN-7. Hosted by Eric Baume, the program aired live on Sundays. Baume would have a discussion with a different person in each episode. Former New South Wales Premier Jack Lang appeared as the guest on the 19 May 1957 episode. Baume also had another program on ATN, titled This I Believe, which debuted 3 December 1956, and which out-lived State Your Case. From 1959 to 1961 he hosted Eric Baume's Viewpoint.
