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 Shak (also known as The Shak at Home for its final two series) is an Australian children's television program that aired on the Nine Network from 2006 to 2010. Its four hosts, Curio (Drew Jarvis), Nitro (Beau Walker), Picasso (Kendal Nagorcka) and Eco (Jacqueline Duncan) answered viewer questions, queries, dares and challenges in an entertaining and educational manner. Each host's name relates to their personality and the type of stories they present. Viewers sent questions and suggestions to the presenters via the shows website. For its final two series, the show was revamped to include intersecting storylines, featuring its hosts living in a house together and including recurring guest actors. Willow (Libby Campbell) joined the cast for the ninth and final series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
