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
Rhythm Roundup is an Australian television series for which little information is available. It was a music series featuring Roy Hampson, but the exact format is not known. It ran from 1957 to 1960 on Sydney stations ATN-7 and ABN-2. In 1958 the series featured the Poster Girl contest, with 19-year-old Annette Andre winning. She appeared on the series for four weeks. It should not be confused with Record Roundup, which featuring the same host and aired on the same station. Although some ATN programming from the late-1950s survives, it is not known if any kinescopes or early video tape exist of either series, given the wiping of the era. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
