Comedy actors and writers Stevie Martin and Lola-Rose Maxwell have launched online sketch show pilot screen time.

The eight minute special has been created off the back of their successful social media sketches, which have been viewed over 45 million times.

screen time - the title is deliberately lowercased - is described as a "pilot for people who can't get off their phones to watch on their phones so they can have a laugh about phones. Uber, cooking, shopping, that weird photo memory thing your phone makes, if it's on a screen then it's in screen time."

screen time is written by Stevie Martin, directed by Andrew Nolan, produced by Howard Cohen at whynow and stars Stevie and Lola-Rose Maxwell alongside Mark Silcox, Graham Dickson, Adam Riches and Bilal Zafar.

Stevie Martin says of screen time: "I enjoyed being able to expand mine and Lola's characters beyond looking at a webcam over zoom while saying 'what????' and 'I'm afraid that's incorrect'. It's been surreal making long-form content, 8 minutes is basically a feature film so I might submit it to the Grammys. What I love about making things online is how much money and respect you get. I'm now really respected and very rich."

Lola-Rose Maxwell adds: "I'm busy on set doing the sort of work Stevie would like to get, so she's made this quote up for me. I am the funniest thing in screen time and my hair is resplendent."

Producer Howard Cohen notes: "screen time is an amazingly unique project that satirises all our lives on our phones. Stevie and Lola have been a joy to develop and produce this pilot. It's exciting for all of us to see the next steps for the show."

Director Andrew Nolan comments: "I'm just glad the whole process is over and I'll never see these people again."

Adam Riches, who plays one of the drivers in screen time, said: "Do you want a stupid quote or a serious one?"

Here is the pilot:

A directors commentary version has also been published, in which Martin and Maxwell talk over the footage.
