Kiss Me First is an innovative new thriller from Channel 4 combining live action with computer-generated virtual world sequences

This thoroughly modern drama flips between two different worlds – one is the miserable, lonely existence of Leila (Tallulah Haddon), a girl with no friends whose beloved mum has just died.

The other is the fantastical computer game world of Azana, which Leila inhabits as her online alter ego Shadowfax (right).

It’s here she meets Tess, a confident party girl who plays in Azana as a character called Mania.

The two become friends in real life, but it soon emerges Tess is harbouring a dark secret.

It’s visually stunning, but behind all the gloss is a really intriguing story that will hook you in and leave you wanting more.

“I’ve had some cushty jobs,” says comic Rob Beckett (below) from his lounger on the beach of exclusive Caribbean island Petit St Vincent, “but this is an absolute joke.”

He’s not kidding.
