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
Fictionalized versions of former Doctor Who actors Peter Davison, Sylvester McCoy, and Colin Baker are upset that they weren't asked to appear in the show's 50th anniversary special. They scheme to sneak onto the set and get cast in the episode anyway.

What happens
The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot is a 2013 comedy short film released on the BBC Red Button service after the broadcast of "The Day of the Doctor", the 50th anniversary special of the science fiction series Doctor Who. Writer and director Peter Davison stars alongside Sylvester McCoy, Colin Baker and Paul McGann, all of them former lead actors of the series. The plot focuses on fictionalised versions of Davison, Baker and McCoy, who become disgruntled after not being invited to reprise their roles in "The Day of the Doctor", and attempt to trespass onto the set and secure roles in the episode. The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot features numerous cameo appearances from contemporary and former stars of the series such as Matt Smith, Jenna Coleman, Janet Fielding, John Barrowman and David Tennant, as well as executive producer Steven Moffat and his predecessor Russell T Davies. Filming took place across England, Wales and New Zealand. The Five(ish) Doctors Reboot received acclaim from Doctor Who fans, and was nominated for the 2014 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
