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.

How it feels

This British TV series from the late 1960s features singer Lulu hosting a variety show with musical performances. The backstage atmosphere became famously disruptive when Jimi Hendrix caused a ban after changing the song list and playing overtime.

What happens

Happening for Lulu was the original title of a television series broadcast on BBC1 from 1968 to 1969 hosted by Lulu and produced by Stanley Dorfman. The show's title was changed to Lulu from episode 3, broadcast 11 January 1969. Jimi Hendrix was banned from the BBC after he and his band disrupted the show by changing the song list and continuing on to play after the allotted amount. Subsequent series were titled "It's Lulu!" but the final series broadcast in 1975 was the second to be titled simply 'Lulu'. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
