Beatbox
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 is an Australian music television show from the 1980s that was created with government funding to provide jobs for unemployed teenagers. The teenagers worked with ABC staff to produce the show, which featured music but also discussed issues relevant to young people. It started as a short series that was almost cancelled but was brought back for a longer season due to public support.

What happens
Beatbox was an Australian music television show broadcast by the ABC. It was created with money from Federal Government's Community Employment Program to provide jobs for 15 unemployed teenagers. All had been jobless for at least four months. The teenagers were grouped with some of ABCs production staff to make the show. After 15 episodes in 1985 the funding ran out and the show was to be cancelled but public support led to a second season of 26 episodes in 1986 being funded. This series moved from a Saturday mid-afternoon slot to midday. Beatbox was primarily a music show but also talked about issues relevant to youth. It was last broadcast in 1987.
