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.

How it feels

This is a parody of the famous Sherlock Holmes story. It turns the mystery of a ghostly hound on the moors into a broad comedy. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore play Holmes and Watson for laughs.
