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
Ardath Hit Parade is an Australian television series which aired on Sydney station ATN-7 from 1958 to 1959. Originally hosted by Keith Walshe, it was later hosted by Jimmy Parkinson. It was a spin-off from Sydney Tonight, and had been a segment of that series prior to becoming a series of its own. The series presented the top 10 songs of the week. Guest singers and groups appeared on the series from time to time. It should not be confused with Melbourne-produced series Hit Parade (in which hit recordings were lip-synced by a recurring cast in sets and costumes), which was shown in Sydney on TCN-9. There was also another Hit Parade which aired on ABC. An episode of this series may be held by the National Film and Sound Archive under the title Australia's Hit Parade. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
