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 Bob Monkhouse Hour is a British televised variety show that ran from 1958 to 1963 which was fronted by the comedian Bob Monkhouse, and featured musical stars of the day, contemporary comedians, and various other variety acts. It was preceded by The Bob Monkhouse Show in 1956, and both were early vehicles for the comedian whose first break had been an appearance in Carry On Sergeant in 1958, the first of the popular series of films.
