Sadvent Calendar – 14 December

It's…



















The Blessed St Stevie of Nicks! Rattling her fairy tambourine and demonstrating her inability to tilt her head back over the sink at the hairdresser's because she was Marie Antoinette in a previous life or summink (and not at all because of all the cheap ningle she did in the Eighties, oh no). We'd let dance her round the Planet Sad Towers living room with her mystic gypsy shawl any time, as long as she didn't knock over our bowl of Barbeque Snack-a-jacks mid-twirl. Er, Stevie, is that white-winged dove housetrained?

Steve Buscemi! Why's he looking so pleased with himself here? Because Planet Sad think he's THE TITS, that's why!

Sadvent Calendar – 12 December

It's…



















Fenella! The churlish Welsh kettle-witch from Chorlton And The Wheelies was a major role model in our formative years and remains so today. Selected gems include screeching "ABERYSTWYTH!" as a swear word and "Ohh, I do ’ate flowers. ’Ow can anyone like them?" Nice one, little old lady!

Sadvent Calendar – 11 December

It's…



















Bruce Jenner! Originally best-known and loved as an Olympic gold medal-winning decathlete, Bruce has now come to epitomise "crying inside". We like to imagine him lounging on a beanbag at Planet Sad HQ, safely snuggled up beneath a Slanket, grateful fingers wrapped around a mug of cocoa with a slug of Tia Maria and mini-marshmallow sprinkles. Then we'd see a single tear* roll down one of those impossibly smooth cheeks as he watches that bit in Jason And The Argonauts where they rescue Patrick Troughton from the harpies, and we softly serenade him with the chorus of James's Sit Down…
*He has still got functioning tear ducts, right?
