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 film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
Out of the Trees is a 1976 British television sketch show pilot starring Graham Chapman, Roger Brierley, Simon Jones and Maria Aitken. It was written by Chapman, Bernard McKenna and Douglas Adams and broadcast on BBC2 in 1976. The show shared some of the stream-of-consciousness style of Monty Python's Flying Circus, of which Chapman was a member. The instrumental theme tune was by Neil Innes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
