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
Contestants start with a million pounds worth of pretend prizes and try to lose them by answering quiz questions wrong. The person who loses the most money wins a chance to play for a real cash prize.

What happens
Lose a Million is an early 1990s British game show which was produced by Action Time for Carlton Television and was hosted by Chris Tarrant. The show featured voiceovers by Honor Blackman. In a twist to the traditional gameshow format, the contestants each started with a group of pretend prizes worth a total of £1 million and attempted to lose as many of them as possible by answering questions incorrectly. The contestant with the lowest total prize value after three rounds was declared the winner and received the opportunity to play for £5,000. The set of the show resembled an Art Deco cruise ship.
