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

Down on the Farm is a British television series which aired in 1939 on the BBC. The series featured A. G. Street, and was about work on the farm. The series aired monthly, and likely ended due to the suspension of the BBC television service on 1 September 1939. None of the episodes still exist, as they aired live, and methods used to record live television were not developed until late 1947, and were used very rarely by the BBC until around 1953–1955.
