The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Ellington is a British television crime thriller-sports based drama series was produced by Yorkshire Television, created by Gordon Flemyng, and principally produced by the latter, which was first broadcast on ITV on 26 October 1994. Later commissioned into a seven-part series between 11 April and 23 May 1996, Ellington follows the exploit of a London-based personal boxing trainer and promoter, the titular character, played by Chris Ellison. Despite attracting moderate ratings, only eight episodes (including the pilot) were produced; subsequently, the ITV decided against recommissioning the show for a second series. Since initial broadcast, the series has not been repeated or released on any form of home media. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
