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
Cockleshell Bay is a stop motion children's television series which was shown at lunchtime on ITV during the early 1980s. It was made by Cosgrove Hall Productions for its parent company, the ITV broadcaster Thames Television. Other children's programmes in the same ITV time slot on the remaining four weekdays included Let's Pretend, Jamie and the Magic Torch, and Rainbow – the latter is the show in which Cockleshell Bay began as a regular story feature (reflected in the rainbow design of Cockleshell Bay's logo).
