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
Ten comedians travel to different UK cities, learn local material, and perform new routines for a live audience. Each week a panel of judges eliminates one contestant until a winner is crowned.

What happens
Show Me the Funny is a British reality show on ITV, in which a group of ten comedians of varying experience visit ten cities around the UK, performing tasks that are somehow meant to equip them with local knowledge to work into five-minute-long new live routines, which they then showcase in front of a live audience. At the end of each show, one contestant was voted off by the judging panel of Alan Davies, Kate Copstick and a different guest judge in each city, with a live final at the Hammersmith Apollo on 25 August 2011. The eventual winner of the competition won a nationwide tour (with support from two of the runners-up) and their own DVD released in the run-up to Christmas. An unrelated show with the same title aired in the United States on Fox Family. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
