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

Hullabaloo is an English music television series that aired weekly on ABC Weekend TV in the UK Midlands region from September 1963 to January 1964. Compered by Rory McEwen, it showcased a selection of prominent (and some less prominent) UK folk and blues musicians in front of a live audience, and also included a number of visiting international artists. Almost forgotten for over 40 years since its original broadcast, all 13 original shows were re-released on DVD in 2020 and provide a rare documentation on film of a significant proportion of the British folk (and some blues) scene of that era.
