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

This was an Irish-language TV series featuring comedy sketches, rock music, and discussions about social and political issues. It was an informal and appealing show for both Gaeltacht and non-Gaeltacht Irish speakers. The presenters were Seán Bán Breathnach and Cynthia Ní Mhurchú, with two young reporters traveling around Ireland seeking interesting stories. The series first aired on October 7, 1990 and ended after 1992.

What happens

Clár teilifíse Gaeilge a bhí in Scaoil Amach an Bobailín ar a mbíodh sceitsí grinn, rac-cheol agus díospóireachtaí ar chúrsaí sóisialta agus polaitíochta. Clár neamhfhoirmiúil agus tarraingteach a bhí ann do chainteoirí Gaeilge Gaeltachta agus neamhGhaeltachta araon. Seán Bán Breathnach agus Cynthia Ní Mhurchú a chuir i láthair. Bhí beirt thuairisceoirí óga freisin, Rónán Mac Aodha Bhuí agus Bláthnaid Ní Chofaigh, a chuaigh timpeall na tíre ag lorg scéalta mealltacha. Craoladh an tsraith den chéad uair ar 7 Deireadh Fómhair 1990 agus tháinig deireadh léi tar éis na bliana 1992. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
