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.

How it feels

Two teams of four people compete to answer questions about TV shows. They watch short clips and then answer questions about them.

What happens

Telly Addicts is a British television game show hosted by Noel Edmonds that aired on BBC One from 3 September 1985 to 29 July 1998. All questions were based on television programmes past and present, and generally took the form of a short clip being shown followed by a series of questions either specifically about the clip or more generally about the programme from which it had been taken. Two teams of four players sat opposite each other on sofas. The final series in 1998 had three teams of two players instead of two teams of four players. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
