Kat Sadler's Screen Time is a fun guide/cautionary tale of how young people today live their lives through their phones and social media.

Sorry

20250726

20250801 (BBC7)

Disgraced former industry heartthrob Kat Sadler is still reeling from her cancellation. After alienating old audience by drinking through a plastic straw, she leant in and enjoyed the new audience she gained along the cancellation highway. But they've turned on her now too, thanks to a deepfake of her denouncing her plastic-loving ways.

With no audience left, and only her sidekick Alex Macqueen for company, things are looking bleak for our hero - not least because Alex is in the throes of a midlife crisis. While Alex's new teeth bed in, Kat is on a quest to craft the perfect online apology. Looking at the history of apologies from the likes of Ariana Grande, the Dalai Lama and Brewdog owner James Watt, Kat cherrypicks the best bits, and is poised to deliver a killer apology. Short, sweet, and from the heart. Will it work?
