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

Saturday Sports Round-Up is an Australian television series which aired in Melbourne in 1957 on GTV-9. It debuted 26 January 1957, aired at 6:00PM Saturdays, and was hosted by Bert Bryant. It was described as "film and commentary of the day's events". It was the second sports series produced by a GTV-9, debuting two days after Eric Welch's Sports Album. At the time, television in Australia was limited to Sydney and Melbourne, and the vast majority of locally produced series were single-city only. The show originally aired in a 30-minute time-slot. It later aired in an unusual 25-minute time-slot. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
