The advent Sitting Tennant competition continues, despite controversy among obvious communists and drug addicts who think that waxing lyrical about a sedentary Tennant every day or so is "too difficult" to manage. Pah. We're made of sterner stuff than that, I think.
Today's Sitting Tennant is yet another from now-obvious picture champion-to-be, Ms Rullsenberg, who's still managing to maintain her lead despite being in New Zealand. If the will is there, any challenge can be overcome – well except for that white suit in the above picture from Measure For Measure.
The Sitting Tennant picture competition table now stands as follows:
- Rullsenberg: 11.5
- Rosby: 9
- Persephone: 6.5
- Toby: 5
- Poly, Scott: 3.5
- Jane: 2.5
- Anna, Electric Dragon: 1.5
- Marie: 1
The Witty And Amusing Captions league table sees much excitement. Prize for wittiest of the last bunch goes to Toby, who gets double points for ripping the piss out me (that's not an invitation) in a caption for picture 1, and to Marie for a picture 2 caption – all achieved without the benefit of state hand-outs or methadone (I hope). Shameless former Bolshevik Persephone reveals her true colours as a recidivist, fifth columnist and kulak by deciding to take advantage of Rullsenberg being 17 hours ahead of her to jump into fourth place; meanwhile, Electric Dragon and Rev are reunited in sixth place, and new captioner Scott arrives on the scoreboard for the first. Welcome, Scott!
- Toby: 38
- Marie: 31.5
- Jane Henry: 21
- Persephone: 15
- Rullsenberg: 14
- Electric Dragon, Rev: 8
- Stu_N: 2
- Poly, Andrea, Scott: 1
As always, captions and new submissions for the gallery, please. Remember, you can submit as many (witty) captions as you like for each and every picture, with topical captions (and pictures of David Tennant in current productions) getting extra marks. The wittiest caption for each picture will get double points.
The final Sitting Tennant of 2008 will be on December 23rd when the results will be announced. Any ideas for prizes?
Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below and if it's judged suitable, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery. You can also enter the witting and amusing captions league table by commenting on existing photos in the gallery.

(not caption) Hey! What about my topicality bonus?

I'll leave that up to the gallery: who thinks Electric Dragon's comment ("So you see, that's why the Fed's zero-interest rate policy, combined with quantitative easing, is such a bad idea. Hey, where are you going?") was topical in the intended spirit of Sitting Tennant? We'll tally the votes for and against and if people think it's topical, you can have an extra half point tomorrow.

So, I was in rehearsals for my role in Einstein and Eddington and we were testing Newton's theory of gravity by dropping apples on my head. And they dropped one of the apples too hard, and so that's what I'm doing here in heaven now. And heaven is a better place for it.

Gods Behaving Badly? Yes, I think I've heard of it. In fact here's a first edition under my fingertips. I don't like it ever to be far from me.

(not caption) How long is this contest running for? Because I am off to Mozambique on Saturday, land of no internet access, and therefore sadly will be dropping out of the race.
Also: you weren't specific about the nature of the topicality required, so I think give the Dragon his points.

Here's my entry, comrades (death to Rullsenberg la bourgeoise!!):
Whilst singing his inimitable version of "Karma Chameleon", David Tennant meshes in with his surroundings...
I figure if I totally fail to get a caption, that it's probably topical, so I say Electric Dragon's caption probably counts. (I hasten to add that I get most of Electric Dragon's captions and find them very witty...)

Measure for Measure
Act 2, Scene 4
(The Tobiobian Folio)
ISABELLA
I know your virtue hath a licence in't,
Which seems a little fouler than it is,
To pluck on others.
ANGELO
Believe me, on mine honour,
My words express my purpose
And I speak them thus - Oh! Most merrily.
Canst I do it? Fucketh, yea verily!
[That's a gimmee - for the tally only, not for any other consideration. I didn't want to trade on using the same joke twice, but I couldn't resist.]

From: Doctor and the Seven Dwarves.
Following his bite of the poisoned apple, the Doctor's right hand remains completely normal, but the left starts regenerating into something seriously unpleasant...

Yes, Measure for Measure. Difficult play. Is it comedy? Is it tragedy? And what the fuck is that bed trick all about? Still who cares, so long as Isabella's blonde?

I know I have some strange fans out there on the interweb, but why are a bunch of normally intelligent adults writing silly captions based on me sitting down at the behest of a totally insane motivational speaker type person???
Oh and Electric Dragon for the points.
And though it's not very competitive of me, I do think Toby deserves extra marks for that Shakespeare quote.

December 23rd is when the competition results will be announced. So there'll be another one today and another on Monday.

Oh, I'm buggered then. Never mind, I'll play today's for the fun of it.

a) BBC finally release unseen pilot of "Randall and Doctor (Deceased)".
b) Tennant wondered who had superglued his hand to his chin.
