Today's bonus Sitting Tennant is from Ms Rullsenberg, whose picture of a sedentary David Tennant I so cruelly left at home last week. It's from The Next Doctor, I think, although to be honest I have absolutely no idea. Clearly though, it's an imitation of the famous cantina scene from Star Wars, although from where the Doctor's going to produce his gun, I wouldn't like to say.
That gives us the following leader board for the picture competition:
- Jaradel, Rullsenberg: 1
Ooh, exciting. You wait 'til it hots up like the caption competition because it's all go there. Marie, taking to heart the ruling that back-related captions are no longer topical, went for a Hudson river comment, earning herself a bonus half mark. But it was Rev/Views' venture in surrealism that earned him the title of wittiest caption composer this time round, with the associated double points prize, taking him into joint second place.
That means the scoreboard now stands as follows:
- Marie: 4.5
- Jane Henry, Toby, Rev/Views: 3
- Aaron, Persephone, Rullsenberg: 2
- Jaradel: 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.

For god's sake don't let the fan-base know about my secret stash of S&M toys. They just look like horse-riding equipment hanging on the wall if you don't look too closely...

I believe the words ROFLLOLOL might cover my reaction to this, how did I not see that background?

So. Let's get this straight. You used a hot air balloon - sorry Tardis - to go forward in time to the USA in November 2008, where you defeated the Slitheen (again) in the shape of Sarah Palin (always knew there was something odd about her), thereby enabling Barack Obama to take office? Now I KNOW I'm in a parallel universe.
