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

You Bet! is a British game show, based on the German series Wetten, dass..?, that originally aired on ITV for ten series and a number of specials between 20 February 1988 and 12 April 1997, and was revived on 7 December 2024. It was initially hosted by Bruce Forsyth (1988–1990), then by Matthew Kelly (1991–1995) and finally Darren Day (1996–1997). In August 2024, ITV announced that the show would be returning for two special episodes later that year with Stephen Mulhern and Holly Willoughby as hosts. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
