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

Virgin Island is a British reality television series that premiered on Channel 4 on 12 May 2025. Series 1 contained six episodes, following twelve adult virgins as they explore intimacy, relationships, and personal growth while living together on an island retreat. "Obonjan Island", a private island in Croatia, was used as the filming location for both series. It is produced by Double Act Productions for Channel 4. On 13 June 2025, Channel 4 announced a second series. It aired between April 27, 2026 and May 18, 2026, and contained 8 episodes. A distinctive element of the series is its integration of relationship coaching and somatic therapy, led by sexologists Danielle Harel and Celeste Hirschman, co-founders of the Somatica Institute. Their therapeutic approach introduces structured exercises that address emotional intimacy, attachment patterns, sexual authenticity, and communication skills. Rebecca Nicholson, writing for the Guardian, called it "surprisingly empathetic." As of March 2026, the series has won two industry awards, and has been nominated for a BAFTA Award for Best Reality Show. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
