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
This is a very early Australian TV show from the 1950s. Each episode was a live six-minute talk by a Christian minister. Different ministers appeared over the show's run.

What happens
Give Us This Day is an Australian religious television short program aired from 1956 to 1958 on TCN-9. It is significant as one of the very earliest Australian-produced television programs. It was among the television shows aired during the first "official" week of television in Sydney. Give Us This Day was a live six-minute religious program in which a minister gave a short speech, with ministers from different Christian denominations appearing during the show's run. There was no recurring cast. It was based on a British format. While largely forgotten today, it actually out-lived three 1956 TCN series debuts that are more commonly mentioned in television retrospectives – The Johnny O'Connor Show, Campfire Favourites and Accent on Strings. TCN-9's other 1956 series debuts included Fun Farm (1956–1957), The Home Show (1956–1957) and What's My Line (1956–1958). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
