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
This series shows funny television commercials from different countries. It collects international ads that were not meant for British audiences and presents them for laughs.

What happens
Commercial Breakdown is a light entertainment show that shows humorous television advertisements from around the world and ran from 29 December 1989 to 3 August 2008 and aired on BBC One. British adverts were initially not allowed because of the BBC's Royal Charter (advertising is completely forbidden on the BBC), but were later permitted provided they were not currently being broadcast. Many of the adverts were international, which means they were not selling items on the British market. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
