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

SF-studio is a Finnish quiz show hosted by Simo Frangén. It replaced Frangén's earlier show Maailman ympäri in 2004 and ran until 2006. Like Maailman ympäri, SF-studio was a themed show. This time the theme was news. The questions concerned people and events in recent news, and a short parody of a news report (with completely nonsensical contents) appears between each round. Also like Maailman ympäri, SF-studio had four contestants, two of which were men and two women, and two were celebrities and two ordinary people. SF-studio had one main prize: a holiday trip. Where the trip was located depended on the choices in the fourth and final round. There were five different options, starting from a cheap trip inside Finland, and getting progressively more expensive and further away, with the best option being a trip to some famous sunny beach holiday resort near the Equator. Smaller prizes were recently published Finnish books, all autographed by some Finnish celebrity who had nothing whatsoever to do with either the book or its author. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
