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

Merry-Go-Round was an Australian television series which aired on Melbourne station HSV-7 during 1961. A variety series, it also featured a "barrel quiz" and an amateur talent segment. Hosted by Panda Lisner and Michael Williamson, it was produced at the newly-opened Channel 7 Teletheatre in Fitzroy, Victoria, probably before a live audience. The series aired in a 60-minute time-slot at 9:30PM on Mondays, and faced tough competition from the popular In Melbourne Tonight on GTV-9. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
