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

False or True (also known as FoT) is a children's TV programme broadcast from 1993 to 1996 in the UK on CBBC. Some years later it returned as a completely revised show as part of the Saturday morning show Live & Kicking from 2000 to 2001. Its premise was a series of videos in the style of news reports or features which the viewer had to guess whether they were true or false. Mairi McHaffie & Stephen Caro (also Gordon Inglis in 1993) presented the original 1990s show. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
