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

CBC News: Country Canada (until January 2006 titled Country Canada) was a Canadian television series broadcast on CBC Television. It was produced by CBC Winnipeg, and profiled rural and country life in Canada. Sandy Cushon was Country Canada's host between 1975 and 2000. In its final years it was hosted by Reg Sherren. Country Canada began on February 20, 1955 as Country Calendar, and was also produced by CBWT. On April 4, 2007, CBC announced the cancellation of Country Canada at the end of that season, after 54 years. The last broadcast was Sept. 16, 2007. In 2001, the CBC and Corus Entertainment launched a digital television channel fashioned after Country Canada. Now the service is called Cottage Life and is owned by Blue Ant Media. Programming on the channel includes the long-running British soap opera Emmerdale. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
