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

Telematch is the name given to a group of syndicated episodes from the West German television series Spiel ohne Grenzen, originally broadcast on the WDR (Westdeutscher Rundfunk Köln) channel from 1967 until 1980 and produced by Transtel. Although the Spiel ohne Grenzen programme ran from 1967, only forty-three episodes were syndicated and transmitted under the title Telematch. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
