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

The Ainsley Harriott Show was the American cooking and talk show debut of Britain television chef Ainsley Harriott. In 1999, Buena Vista Television established the production crew for The Ainsley Harriott Show which was produced by Valleycrest Productions along with Buena Vista Television and Merv Griffin Entertainment. Joni Holder was brought on as co-executive producer, John Veroff as supervising producer and Dan Berg as director. The show was syndicated by Buena Vista Television. Prior to the conception of the show, Harriott was first spotted on the BBC by the future executive producer of The Ainsley Harriot Show, Merv Griffin, who was at the time visiting Ireland. The show was filmed in New York and guests included professional boxer Evander Holyfield, actor Danny DeVito, Richard Branson, Stefanie Powers and comedian Caroline Rhea. The show debuted in 2000 and ended later that same year. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
