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

Smuggler's Bay is a British period television drama series which aired on BBC One in 6 episodes in 1964. It is an adaptation of the 1898 adventure novel Moonfleet by J. Meade Falkner. No recordings of this production are known to exist. According to star Frazer Hines, the title was changed due to a perceived conflict with contemporaneous BBC series Moonstrike made by the same department. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
