what's the ideal length for a pilot/taster for tv

I have been told that 12 mins is a good time, as you're able to get story, plot and characters across quite well in that time, but it's not too long to sit through.
I'm planning a low key comedy drama, quite slow paced and want to pitch the idea when there is something to show. What does everyone think would be a good length to aim for?
