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 Friday Show is an Australian television news and conservative commentary program broadcast weekly on Sky News Australia, hosted by Rita Panahi. The show was a replacement of axed format Keneally and Cameron, and as such debuted without promotion, surprising regular viewers of the former program. The series focuses mainly on political and financial topics, with various Sky News regular contributors and journalists discussing events of the week. The programs airs at 4pm Sydney time on Friday afternoons, in the timeslot PM Agenda (now Speers) holds on other weekdays. The program was broadcast from the Sky News studios in the Sydney suburb of Macquarie Park and has news updates from a Sky News presenter every half hour throughout the show, however from 2018 is broadcast from Melbourne. On 19 February 2016, The Friday Show marked the twentieth anniversary of Sky News at the beginning of the second hour of the program at 5:00pm AEDT, aligning with the exact time of the first broadcast of the channel twenty years earlier, by playing the 1996 opening introduction to Sky News. On 8 July 2016, while Perrett was on holidays, Kristina Keneally and Peta Credlin guest co-hosted the program. It marks the first time Keneally has returned to hosting the timeslot since the demise of Keneally and Cameron. Perrett was made host of late night program Heads Up from the beginning of 2018 which saw Panahi made host from 23 March 2018. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
