SECOND LIFERS
Fantasy better than reality?
Bored of your humdrum life? You could always create a new existence in a virtual world.
We follow the double lives of people who are addicted to their online alter-egos.
Paul, Powys, Wales and Rhonda, California, USA
Paul and Rhonda's Second Life alter egos, Joe and Heart, were married two years ago and they have been faithful in real life ever since – even though they have never met.
The couple spend most of their time in the game or talking on their webcams and hope to tie the knot soon. We follow the pair as they arrange to meet in the flesh for the first time.
