Rosby's back! Suddenly, Ms Rullsenberg's yomp for the finish line doesn't look quite as clear as once it did. Ms Rosby has provided us with an actual picture from Hamlet of the moment when DT realised he might be having problems and needed a bit of a lie down. Meanwhile, Rullsenberg shows us the moment when DT realised his flat was haunted – at least, I'm assuming that's a poltergeist he's just spotted.
Remember, kiddies, these are the last captionable pictures of 2008 and tomorrow, the results will be announced, so there's everything to play for today.
The Sitting Tennant picture competition table now stands as follows:
- Kiwi Rullsenberg: 13.5
- Rosby: 10.5
- Persephone: 6.5
- Toby: 5
- Poly, Scott: 3.5
- Jane: 2.5
- Anna, Electric Dragon: 1.5
- Marie: 1
That just leaves tomorrow to see if Ms Rullsenberg has left enough pictures digital chez moi to cope with Rosby's three in waiting. Or will someone send me and exciting batch of 20 pictures to take them into the lead from nowhere? Exciting hey?
The Witty And Amusing Captions league table remains as vibrant as always, and with people now heading off on their holidays, there could be some sneaky last minute manoeuvring that changes the leader board. The bonus points go to Persephone, whose agitprop caption, born from the depths of socialist, "Everyone should win a medal", "Can't we all be friends?" Canada, is also subtly topical, it turns out. Well done Persephone!
- Toby: 44
- Marie: 36.5
- Jane Henry: 24.5
- Persephone: 19
- Rullsenberg: 14
- Electric Dragon: 11.5
- Rev: 11
- 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.
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.

Picture One: Tennant found the pressure to be constantly photographed in a sitting position to be far too exhausting.
Picture Two: When the lights snapped on, there was an awkward moment of silence as his hosts realized that the phrase "putting my thoughts on paper in the library" wasn't exactly a euphemism for David Tennant....

Picture one: Hamlet had no clue what it was, but suddenly he had a craving for sushi.
Picture two: STELLAAAAAAA!
(from the production of "A TARDIS Named Desire")

HA! Rosby may think she can get away with shots of Supine Tennant, but I have the very moment DT's back went out, seconds before.... [Edited by Rob to make the link work]

Rob has evidently never encountered our current Prime Minister (nicknamed "Helmet Head" --- by me, due to his lacquered "Ken doll" hairdo). He's about as socialist as Donald Trump.
My feeble offerings for Photo #2 (how does Lisa know he's actually sitting?):
l. With a thrill of horror, David Tennant realizes that the Squee Squad has cornered him and discovered his secret stash of pornographic DVDs.
2. Wait! Is that Marie? Damn! Where's my grey silk suit and my hair gel? [Edited by Rob to make the link work]

He's a right-wing beard.

I sent a message with an attach link just before I submitted the feeble offerings. A note came up saying it needed to be verified before appearing. Did it ever get through?

It was there, I'd just forgotten to approve it because I hadn't noticed that it hadn't been automatically approved. It should be there now.

Yep, but neither of my links work. Technology defeats me again...

Don't worry: I fixed them both.

1 And they said going to pilates would help solve my back problems.
2 Erm- well I can explain everything... David Tennant's response to being caught in flagrante with a brunette.

Argh, hang on. I could have sworn I left you three more pictures with that one; they were all from LA Without a Map. Were they unusable, or did they get lost somewhere?

As mentioned, Ms Rullsenberg left a stash, which I've been drip-feeding out over the last few days, and you left a stash. Tomorrow, the remaining items from both stashes will get revealed. We know you have three, but how many does Rullsie have left? Exciting, huh?

Picture one: Product Placement invades Shakespeare as Hamlet and Ophelia wax lyrical about floor wax.
Picture two: David Tennant wins the Karen Black impression competition with his rendition of her performance in "Trilogy of Terror". (Zuni Fetish Doll not included.)

1 The play's the thing... to wreck the back of a Time Lordling...
