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

Sam and The Fatman was a short-lived Australian sports television program, shown on the Nine Network and its affiliates from October to November 2000. The show was a spin-off from The AFL Footy Show and The NRL Footy Show, with hosts Sam Newman and Paul Vautin from those respective shows. The show ran in the Thursday night timeslot, following the end of the football seasons. It featured a mix of sport and variety. The program's name was a pun of the TV show Jake and the Fatman (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
