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
Three historians move onto a reconstructed Tudor farm and live like people did in the 1500s. They plow fields with oxen, harvest crops, and make cheese using period tools and methods.

What happens
Tudor Monastery Farm is a British factual television series, first broadcast on BBC Two on 13 November 2013. The series, the fifth in the historic farm series, following the original, Tales from the Green Valley, stars archaeologists Peter Ginn and Tom Pinfold, and historian Ruth Goodman. The team discover what farming was like during the Tudor period at the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum. The programme also features other historians, such as Colin Richards (an expert on rural crafts), and Ronald Hutton (who specialises in folklore and religious beliefs). Harrowing of the fields was carried out by the last remaining team of working oxen in the country. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
