Tarvuism

Richard Leigh — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 04:15:17 +1100

Robert Popper is a BAFTA winning producer and award-winning comedy TV writer. He's also a best-selling author.

Peter Serafinowicz is an award-winning performer, writer and producer, who's appeared in many movies.

Together they created the award-winning spoof science comedy, Look Around You for BBC TV.

"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!"

God vs the ASA

Following on from the rip roaring success of last year - here is my Christmas film 2008. It was made over Christmas itself in a crazy improv method so please forgive any rough edges that may be due to too much eating and merriment. 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!!

For Robert, what started as just innocent curiosity soon becomes an unusual obsession. As he descends into a world of positivity, he is about to discover that while some things may appear harmless on the surface, you can never judge a book by its cover.
