Merry Christmas to all! It is the finale of our advent and we can’t thank you all enough for coming back each and every day!
Our final gift to you all today is a very special one. It also wouldn’t be a full velvety treat if it wasn’t the mother of all teasers…
Happy Christmas to all our peelers and we hope we’ve left it cosy enough behind shiny door number 25.
It’s the penultimate door on our TVO Advent and we’re so glad to have had all of you back each day in the build-up to Christmas!
We hope you’ve all got your shopping done and are relaxing with a glass of mulled wine, waiting for midnight to open your pressies – while you wait, we have a slightly solemn message from some friends, take a look behind door 24 for a steaming new treat.
For some of us, today is the day before Christmas and for others, it’s the day before the day before Christmas. Complicated much?! Either way, today is a good day so let us celebrate it as one should.
Open the door to see Julian Barratt speak a bit of French in black and white…
Happy Solstice, dear Peelers! It’s the 22nd and it marks the day of the Winter Solstice. In celebration of this, we bring you a very special gift from the one and only Sue Denim!
Open today’s door to find out what the Robotette has to say (and show!) to you…
It’s the 21st and Christmas is so close we can almost taste it! Today we present to you a classic tale in form of The Muppet Christmas Carol but in a slightly revamped version.
Curious? Go on, open the bleeping door!
It’s not long now until we’ll be able to hear those sleigh bells ringing! It’s Day 20 of our advent and today’s gift doubles up as a clue to an upcoming interview we have ready to share with you soon!
You know the drill by now – take a peek behind our door and you might even learn some tips before Christmas!
Tonight is the Christmas episode of Never Mind the Buzzcocks, hosted by the one and only John Barrowman. To mark the occasion, here he is in Goodnight Burbank, being his usual subdued self!
Tip-toe through today’s door to find some prime-time trash talking. BARROWMAN! *shakes fist*
As many of you will know, last night North London was treated to another festive Fulchfest! With the TVO Advent in mind, we armed ourselves with a flipcam to capture any impulsive fun we could find post-show.
Take a peek behind door 18 to find some shiny magic!…
With tonight marking the Christmas outing of Fulchfest, Rich Fulcher’s unhinged evening of comedy and silliness in Kentish Town, we thought we’d invite you to enjoy one of the Fulchfest regulars. Open up today’s advent calendar page and get ready to shake it like a polaroid, baby!
Ice floe TVO’s where To Go, lost in the blinding Velvetness of the Onion!… We may leave the song re-works to you peelers for now.
It’s now just 9 sleeps until Christmas and we’ve turn to some very familiar faces for today’s advent. As it’s snowing down in ol’ Londontown today, take a peek behind door number 16 and try not to get too blinded by the whiteness.
We’re getting closer and closer to Christmas Day as it is Day 15 of our advent calendar. We’ve given you comedy, music and a lot of weirdness… so why not combine them all in one glorious package?
What’s behind today’s door? Oh, there’s a little pixie, short and green…
The title of this does deceive and this is not-so-Christmassy but this is something that may have been overlooked by a lot of you peelers!
When Musical and Comedy Booshdom collide it really does create the ultimate combination, so take a look at some old-school electro rock with a cameo from a good friend of The Velvet Onion.
Open our shiny new door and turn this up full-blast!
Day 13, unlucky for some but Tony is about to ‘get lucky’. In todays advent we’ve turned to a christmas comedy classic in TVO-land, and this has had us tittering behind the scenes since we refreshed ourselves of it.
We are, of course, talking about the sensational Rock Opera Nativaty. Still have no idea? Then you’re in for a treat! Just be quiet when you open the door, Tony’s in the zone…
Today we feel like reminiscing and therefore, we are going back to 2008 and a very special Christmas photo shoot.
By now you know what to do, open today’s door and get ready to feel festive – old school style!
On the 11th day of Christmas my true love gave to me… Eleven Pipers Piping. In the classic song it might be so but here, in TVO land, on the 11th day of Christmas we give you four singing Georges!
Open the door to find an amusing (and educational!) clip…
A whole ten days have gone by and we’ve given you both new and old material to enjoy. So on the 10th day of Advent treats, TVO gives you a sketch by Steve Burge and Tony Way.
Open today’s door to find a clip about a very special and magical experience…
We hope that you’ve been enjoying the old mixed with the new as much as we have on our TVO Advent!
Today things get exciting. Open the shiny new door to find out why!
We’ve survived an entire week of insatiable TVO Advent Gifts and I hope you’re all still with us!
Today gift from us, to you, links with a previous post from yesterday, as you may have noticed us mention.
Why not creak open the door below to take a look at some ‘behind the scenes’ with Dave Brown at Soho’s Scribblings Event last month!
Happy 7th day of Advent! (is it a landmark? We’re making it one anyway) Today we bring you something fresh for your peelers that comes from new TVO comic Joey Page!
If you need a bit of Sparkle in your day, open up door number 7 to find your little gift.
It’s December 6 which means that you’ve successfully survived Monday! As a reward and an encouragement for today, we give you a barefoot Julian Barratt and a vindictive Dan Clark…
Find your treat behind the door, go on… you know you are curious!
