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

Ambulance Australia is an Australian factual television program on Network 10 that follows the New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria Ambulance services from the Triple Zero Control Centres to paramedics on the road. It is based on the original UK factual series Ambulance. The show premiered on 16 October 2018, and followed NSW Ambulance call-takers, dispatchers and paramedics as they faced high pressure situations on a daily basis. They are the first to respond to urgent and emergency calls, using their training and experience to make split second decisions that can mean the difference between life and death as they step into situations that can be emotionally fraught or physically dangerous. Filming for Season 1 occurred in mostly metropolitan areas of Sydney. The show was renewed for a second season, which premiered on Tuesday 26 February 2019. This series focused on the summer period from December 2018 to February 2019. A special three-episode season called Ambulance Australia: Ultimate Emergencies premiered on Sunday 8 September 2019, with some of the worst emergencies of the first and second seasons. A third season was renewed on 22 September 2019, filming with the Queensland Ambulance Service, to showcase the "Sunshine State's" paramedics and their crucial work, in the state with the highest number of responses to medical incidents every year. It premiered on 6 February 2020, a fourth season was commissioned in October 2020 and premiered on 9 February 2022. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
