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 documentary series follows police in Luton as they investigate crimes. Each episode tracks a single case from arrest through the first 24 hours. The show uses footage from many cameras fixed inside the police station.

What happens
24 Hours in Police Custody is a British television documentary series shown on Channel 4. It primarily follows Bedfordshire Police as they investigate cases in Luton. The programme is made by The Garden; the same production company that makes 24 Hours in A&E. Most episodes follow an individual case. The title refers to the fact that police may only hold suspects in custody for 24 hours before either having to release them, bring charges or apply for an extension to this time in the case of serious crimes, such as murder. The first series of seven episodes aired in late 2014. Filming took place at Luton Police Station over a six-week period using more than 80 cameras. Channel 4 commissioned further series, with the second airing in early 2015. A few episodes have taken place wholly or partly elsewhere in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire. Series 10 began broadcasting on 22 March 2021. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
