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 Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a seven-part series produced by the BBC which originally aired on the BBC from July 24, 1960 to September 4, 1960. After it was broadcast in England, it was brought to the United States as part of the What's New? series on National Educational Television. Fred Smith, who played Tom Sawyer, and Mike Strotheide, who played Huckleberry Finn, were the sons of American servicemen stationed in Britain; the rest of the cast was primarily British. The teleplay was adapted from Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by C. E. Webber and incorporated folk songs from Peggy Seegar. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
