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 1952 BBC series shows Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in their royal life. The episodes were performed live and not recorded, so no copies exist today. The scripts come from a play by Laurence Housman.

What happens
Happy and Glorious was a 1952 British television series which aired on the BBC. It starred Renée Asherson as Queen Victoria and Michael Aldridge as Prince Albert. The series aired live, and the transmissions were not recorded. The oldest surviving examples of British television drama come from 1953, consisting of two episodes of The Quatermass Experiment and two or three episodes of Sunday-Night Theatre, recording using the then-experimental telerecording process. Half the scripts were by Laurence Housman, drawn from his 1934 play Victoria Regina, also adapted for BBC Radio in 1981 under the title Happy and Glorious. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
