Since coronavirus landed, we’ve been bound to our cyber lives more than ever before, with “You’re on mute!” being one of the most frequently used phrases of the year.

This means we’ve had even more occasions on which we’ve had to prove we’re not robots, and comedy writer and performer, Stevie Martin – with the help of Lola-Rose Maxwell – has absolutely nailed how that tends to go.
