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

Total Recall is an Australian children's game show that aired on the Seven Network. It was hosted by Michael Pope who also hosted the Australian version of the popular game show Blockbusters. The series was first originally broadcast in 1994 and ended in 1995. It was also repeated on pay TV channel Nickelodeon a few years later. The show saw two competing schools play a memory game. On Monday to Thursday, four kids from one of the schools would play and the person with the most points at the end of the day was declared winner. They were then asked to come back on Friday where the four winners that week would go school against school. Also trying to amass the most points during the week to win the schools prize at the end of the week (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
