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
A Little Princess (1973) is a BBC television drama directed by Derek Martinus, based upon the 1905 novel A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. This version is noted for being faithful to the original novel. It ran on the Sunday tea-time slot, where at the time the BBC often ran faithful adaptations of classic novels aimed at a family audience. It was originally broadcast in six 25-minute episodes on BBC 1, from 18 February to 25 March 1973. It was also licensed for distribution by 20th Century-Fox Television, for use on ABC affiliates in the United States. The series is not currently available but it has not been wiped or lost; it is archived at the British Film Institute. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
