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

The Return of the Borrowers is a BBC TV children's programme first broadcast in 1993 on BBC2. The series is adapted from the third and fourth novels of author Mary Norton's The Borrowers series: The Borrowers Afloat (1959) and The Borrowers Aloft (1961), respectively. The series is the sequel to The Borrowers, another TV series that first aired in 1992 also on BBC2. Like the first series, every episode (except the last one) ended on a cliffhanger. Both series follow the Clocks, a family of tiny people who have fled from their home under the floorboards in an old manor into the English countryside. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
