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
Foundations of Cookery is a British television series which aired in 1939 on the BBC. The 15-minute series provided cooking advice. Marcel Boulestin was the host. The episode telecast 24 February aired at 9:25PM, preceded by news and followed by a cartoon, on a schedule which also included a show about fashion called Vanity Fair, a music programme called Music Makers and an episode of Telecrime. (see page 17) None of the episodes still exist, as they aired live, and methods used to record live television did not exist until late 1947, and were used very rarely by the BBC until around 1953–1955.
