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

C'mon Midffîld! is a Welsh television comedy series broadcast on S4C. Created by Mei Jones and Alun Ffred Jones, the show started life on BBC Radio Cymru in 1982 before being adapted for the screen by Ffilmiau’r Nant in 1988. It quickly became the most popular comedy series on S4C and led to various spin-offs including a stage play and a two-part 'Top 40 Moments' programme. The show won a BAFTA Cymru for Best Drama Series in 1992, and despite coming to an end in 1994 is still repeated regularly on S4C. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
