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

Côr Cymru (Choir of Wales) is a Welsh music competition television that was broadcast by S4C. Held biennially, the series featured choirs from across the country competing for a chance to be named the titular "choir of Wales". The first series was presented by Aled Jones and Heledd Cynwal in 2003, but subsequent series have been fronted by Nia Roberts and Gareth Owen. In July 2025, S4C cancelled the series, with no explanation given. The decision was criticised by figures such as Cefin Roberts of Ysgol Glanaethwy. The chief executive of the production company, Rondo, said that they were "extremely proud of Côr Cymru and what it has achieved" but that the decision was disappointing. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
