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
The Man in Room 17 is a British television series which ran for two series in the mid-1960s, then a follow up series The Fellows (Late of Room 17), produced by Granada Television. Key to the series' success was the involvement of writer/producer Robin Chapman. The main characters were "high-IQ" sleuths investigating espionage cases and similarly complex cases.
