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

Take the Hint is an Australian television game show which aired 1962-1966 on the National Television Network (now known as the Nine Network). Although popular enough to run for four years, not much information about the series is available on the Internet. It appears to have been based on American series Password. Produced in Sydney, it was a 30-minute series hosted by Frank Wilson. At one point during the run of the series in Sydney, it was preceded on the schedule by It Could Be You and followed by Keynotes and this was also the case during the same period in Melbourne.
