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
That's My Desire is an Australian television game show which ran from 1958 to 1960 on Melbourne station HSV-7. Hosted by Danny Webb, it was a panel game. The half-hour series changed time-slot several times. At one point it aired at 4:45PM, it later aired at 3:00PM, then at 4:00PM, and finally at 2:30PM. In the episode aired 28 September 1959, the guests included Guy Doleman, Diana Davidson, John Grey and Aileen Britton, while the panel consisted of Bambi Smith, John Frith, Jocelyn Terry and Hugh Wills. Barry Humphries appeared in an episode aired 4 October 1962. There is no information available as to whether any of the episodes exist as kinescope recordings. Game shows were generally considered disposable by Australian broadcasters in the 1950s and 1960s. Reportedly no kinescopes or video-tapes exist of HSV-7's version of Tell the Truth, while footage does exist of Lady for a Day, making it difficult to know for certain whether anything remains of That's My Desire.
