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 British quiz show where contestants answer increasingly difficult questions for a growing cash prize. The show originally aired in the late 1950s and was later revived in the 1990s with a new host and bigger reward.
