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 New Statesman is a British television sitcom which first aired on BBC 2. It consists of seven episodes, including the original pilot. It is unrelated to the ITV series of the same name which began three years later. The life of the pompous, grandiose curator of a small agricultural museum near Aylesbury is turned upside down when he inherits a Welsh Earldom. However, his inheritance turns out to be far less grandiose than he expects. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
