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

Child's Play is an Australian game show based on the American show of the same name. It aired on the Seven Network and was hosted by Jeff Phillips. The show first premiered on 25 March 1984 and ended on 3 September of that same year. It was the first Goodson adaptation in Australia made independently by Fremantle International, who was a international licensor of Goodson-Todman shows, in association with R.A. Becker & Co., who was the Australian agent for Fremantle, for Seven Network as most of the previous Goodson adaptations in Australia was handled by Reg Grundy. The gameplay followed mostly on the American rules, adjusted for the Australian market. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
