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
This was a live variety show where a silent artist drew cartoons of the performers as they acted. It aimed to combine music and comedy with visual art in a light entertainment format.

What happens
Cabaret Cartoons is a live light entertainment series broadcast by BBC Television 1936–1939 and 1946. It was a spin-off from the series Cabaret. Its distinctive feature was that English artist Harry Rutherford (1903–85) drew cartoon sketches of the performers during the broadcast. Rutherford did not speak: the producer, Cecil Madden, decreed that his Mancunian accent was inappropriate to be heard on the BBC. No episodes have survived. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
