'It is only when someone is '˜blocked' that the others will learn about who they have really been interacting with.'
Executive producer Tim Harcourt said: 'It used to just be film stars, rock stars and narcissists who would do anything for the adulation of thousands of strangers.

'And whilst sometimes social media seems ridiculous and shallow, at other times it becomes a force for positive change. This series promises to explore all of this in a fashion that is dramatic, funny, warm and compelling.'
