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.
How it feels
The series follows four men who enter Parliament in the 1960s and tracks their political careers and personal lives over two decades. It looks at their rivalries and friendships as they each try to become prime minister.
