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
Ann and Harold is the first ever British television serial. The program, written by Louis Goodrich, ran on BBC television for a total of five 20-minute episodes in July and August 1938. It starred Ann Todd and William Hutchison in the "story of a London society couple's romance, from their meeting to their grand society wedding." No footage of the show survives, as it was aired live before any means of recording television programs existed. Two photographs exist as a visual record of the production. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
