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
Shillingbury Tales is a British television comedy-drama series made by ATV for ITV and broadcast 1980–81. Comprising a single feature-length pilot, 'The Shillingbury Blowers ', starring Trevor Howard, and six one-hour episodes, the series deals with life in an idealised English village and stars Robin Nedwell, Diane Keen, Nigel Lambert, Jack Douglas, John Le Mesurier, and Bernard Cribbins. Unusually for a British situation-comedy at that time it was recorded entirely on location on 16 mm film, and consequently there was no laughter track. Much of the filming took place in the village of Aldbury, Hertfordshire. However, the idea of the show was based on the town Kirkby-In-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire The show ended when ATV lost its franchise licence to broadcast, and its replacement Central declined to continue production of the series. The series was broadcast in a number of countries around Europe. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
