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
The Forsyte Saga is a British drama television serial that chronicles the lives of three generations of the upper-middle-class Forsyte family from the 1870s to the 1920s. It is based on the novels of John Galsworthy's The Forsyte Saga, for which he won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1932. The books were adapted by Granada Television for ITV in two series: The Forsyte Saga in 2002, covering the novel The Man of Property (1906), the interlude "Indian Summer of a Forsyte" (1918), and the novel In Chancery (1920); The Forsyte Saga: To Let in 2003, covering the novel To Let (1921). Additional funding was provided by the American PBS station WGBH, the 1967 BBC version of the same novels having been a success on PBS in the early 1970s. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
