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
Christmas Lights is a 2004 British Christmas television special broadcast by ITV starring Robson Green and Mark Benton and written by Jeff Pope and Bob Mills. Although originally produced as a one-off 90-minute special, it spawned two spin-off series, Northern Lights and City Lights, and a 2‐hour Christmas special, Clash of the Santas, which aired on ITV on 21 December 2008. The programme was watched by 10.5 million viewers. It is a comedy drama about what might happen when families forget what the festive season is about. Competitive brothers-in-law Colin and Howard live next door to each other on a suburban street, so when Colin puts Christmas lights outside his house, Howard responds with a bigger and brighter set, unleashing a war of twinkling light-bulbs and neon displays that threatens to ruin both families. It stars Robson Green, Mark Benton, Nicola Stephenson, Maxine Peake and Keith Clifford. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
