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

Guest Night is a British television programme broadcast by the BBC from 1938 until the start of the Second World War in September 1939, with an additional set of episodes made in 1946. According to a contemporary account, it was similar to a radio programme called Men Talking. The series was hosted by A. G. Street, with each episode featuring a meeting of guests from a particular field. The first episodes included travellers and explorers, followed by town-planners and architects. None of the episodes still exist, as television recording was not possible at the time. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
