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
A British comedy show that looks back at the week's news with sketches, studio chats, and oddball stunts. It is presented by Armando Iannucci along with Peter Baynham and David Schneider.

What happens
The Saturday Night Armistice (later The Friday Night Armistice, plus the one-off The Election Night Armistice) is a British satirical television comedy programme presented by Armando Iannucci with Peter Baynham and David Schneider that ran from 24 June 1995 to 1 January 1999. The programme took an irreverent and often surreal look back at topical events, and featured studio discussions, sketches and setups.
