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

Arthur Murphy reads and responds to viewer letters about television programs. The show started as a short segment and later expanded to a half-hour slot on Saturday evenings.

What happens

Mailbag is an Irish TV programme which was presented by Arthur Murphy and broadcast on RTÉ One for a fourteen-year period, from 1982 to 1996. The presentation, which was initially 10 minutes in length, dealt with viewers letters concerning RTÉ TV programmes and broadcasting in general. The programme later became established in a half-hour Saturday-evening time slot. Murphy repeated the Mailbag concept into the 2010s, broadcasting an "E-mail Bag" segment on Today FM radio's The Ray D'Arcy Show. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
