"Peter and I created a fake online religion at www.tarvu.com We decided to make it really believable and incredibly detailed. When we made the short clip to put online, we wanted it to feel as real as possible, so performers were told to imagine that this was a genuine religion, and that they genuinely believed in it. Anything too 'big' or 'comedic' was not used. We loved the idea of a religion that had a very deep and complex mythology - an octopus, a prophet called Amzamiviram, the holy book, the Tarvunty. We had fun dreaming these things up. Praise Tarvu!"

However this film is the only place to see the divine combination of Alexandra Burke from the X Factor, myself playing a vicar and the Advertising Standards Authority! Enjoy!!
