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.

How it feels

Amateur cooks compete in a French cooking contest. They face timed challenges and a panel of judges eliminates one contestant each episode until a winner is chosen.

What happens

MasterChef France is a French television series broadcast on TF1 in France. It premiered on August 19, 2010. It is produced by Shine France and has run for four seasons and the first part of the fifth season on TF1. It was moved to NT1 for the last part of the fifth season before being canceled. The original presenter, Carole Rousseau, was controversially removed from the programme in 2013. Michel Roux Jr, a judge in the original British series, has stated that he believes the British MasterChef should be more ambitious and emulate some of the content of the French version. The series was revived on France 2 in September 2022. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
