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

Daly at Night is an Australian television series which aired from 7 March 1962 to 29 March 1963, aired on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays on Melbourne station HSV-7. Hosted by American-born Jonathan Daly, the series was an interview program. Other regulars on the series included Horrie Dargie, Vikki Hammond, Lou Richards, Frank Thring and Arthur Young. Daly was later co-star of another 1960s Australian series, variety show The Delo and Daly Show. In a review of the final episode, newspaper The Age said "It opened, brave in its inadequacy, with business as usual; some talk leading nowhere on the reported falling numbers of students seeking a higher musical education. But who among those still watching cared about these things on Daly at Night's final night?" Information on the archival status of the series is not available. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
