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

Time Masters is an Australian children's game show hosted by Tony Johnston from 1996 to 1998 on the Seven Network. Running for three seasons, Tony would meet the two school teams consisting of two players each. The teams then participated in three rounds of games, competing for points. After five days of play, the winning school would take home the major prize, whilst the losing school would take home a runners up prize. In each of the five daily episodes, players won player's prizes, and for Scramble, the fastest player also won a watch. In 1998, the show ended and was replaced with Wipeout a year later, also hosted by Johnston. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
