Comedian James Veitch gets drawn into the world of smash hit computer game Animal Crossing.

Lockdown prompts James to make some major resolutions about life - including reading Proust.  But he soon gets distracted by Animal Crossing, the computer game that allows you to escape to your own tropical island.  

In common with millions of others shut indoors over the past few months, he becomes increasingly obsessed with creating his own island paradise.  

As his addiction grows, James explores the game's compulsive appeal...  and Proust gets shelved.  

Producer: Laurence Grissell
