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 Jimmy Parkinson Show was an Australian television series which aired 1959 to 1960 on Sydney station ATN-7. It was a weekly half-hour music series. Like most 1950s Australian series, it aired in a single city only. An article in the Sydney Morning Herald newspaper, while not mentioning the series by name, does provide some information on the series. It described Parkinson as a "balladist", and called him "one of the most promising performers that TV has produced in Sydney". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
