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 Mighty Boosh is a British surreal comedy television series created by Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding. Starring the comedy troupe The Mighty Boosh, it often featured elaborate musical numbers in different genres, such as electro, heavy metal, funk and rap. The series is known for popularising a style called "crimping", short a cappella songs which are present throughout all three series. Julian Barratt wrote the music within the show, and performed it with Noel Fielding. Fielding also designed many of the show's graphics and artwork. The series takes place in a surreal universe following Julien Barratt as Howard Moon and Noel Fielding as Vince Noir, two eccentric, failing musicians, alongside Naboo played by Michael Fielding, a mystic alien shaman, and Dave Brown as Bollo, a gorilla and Naboo's familiar. They comprise the main group known as the Mighty Boosh. Rich Fulcher often plays tertiary characters within the show, such as Bob Fossil, the manager of the Zooniverse and later the Velvet Onion. The series has many animated sequences, puppets and special effects. Barratt has said that he approached Fielding with the idea of doing a series like The Goodies (1970–1982), as if it were a complete "world" rather than simply a sketch show. In 2019, The Mighty Boosh was ranked 98th on The Guardian's list of the 100 best TV shows of the 21st century. Reruns aired on Adult Swim in the United States from 2009 to 2013.
