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 Super Flying Fun Show was a live weekday morning television programme aimed at children. It was broadcast daily from TCN 9 in Sydney and on relay in Melbourne on GTV 9. The show was produced by Jim Badger. Super Flying Fun Show replaced the original Today show with Mike Walsh launched from GTV 9 in 1968. When Today was linked with TCN 9 and the compere changed to Tony Charlton, recently recruited Victorian regional stations began to drop the show. By October 1969 Today had been cancelled, and a mixture of live children's entertainment and cartoons on air between 7AM and 8:30AM was announced, to begin on 13 October 1969. This announcement proved to be premature, however the show was running in early December, 1969. It was an instant success: reputedly it received '26,000 letters from kids' in the first month of broadcast. The timeslot was extended to 9:00AM in early March 1970. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
