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 10-episode BBC series adapts Tolstoy's novel about a married woman who begins a passionate affair with a cavalry officer in 19th century Russia. It also follows a landowner's search for meaning in rural life. The series includes more subplots than shorter adaptations.

What happens
Anna Karenina is a 1977 BBC television adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's 1877 novel of the same name. It stars Nicola Pagett as Anna, Eric Porter as Karenin, Stuart Wilson as Vronsky, Davyd Harries as Stiva, Robert Swann as Levin, and Caroline Langrishe as Kitty. It consisted of ten 50-minute episodes, and so was able to include more of the original plot than some adaptations. It was mostly favourably received by critics. The series was nominated for three BAFTA TV Awards, for Best Lighting, Best Costume Design, and Best Make Up; and for one Primetime Emmy Award, for Outstanding Art Direction for a Drama Series.
