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

Spot the Tune is a British television game show which aired from 1956 to 1962 on ITV. It was produced by Granada Television. It was very similar to the popular US series Name That Tune (a format which would be picked up by ITV/Thames in the 1970s, when the British version was hosted by Tom O'Connor). In 1958, Des O'Connor joined the show, which also featured Ted Ray, Pete Murray and singer Marion Ryan (who was also known for being Paul and Barry Ryan's mother). 210 episodes were produced, of which only five are known to survive.
