Today's Sitting Tennant comes from new arrival Jaradel - there'd be one from Ms Rullsenberg too only unforgivably I left it at home, so we might have a bonus ST next week. Thanks, Jaradel, and welcome to Sitting Tennant! That means she is now the leader of Sitting Tennant 2009's picture competition, with one point to her name.
Jardel's picture is from Glastonbury, apparently, and it's either supposed to indicate what David Tennant looks like when he gets out of bed in the morning or it's an indication that he'd quite like to be a New Age shaman, given half a chance. It's not definite whether he's sitting or not, but I think if we all imagine his bottom, it's clear that he is.
The first Sitting Tennant of 2009 provoked an onslaught of witty and amusing captions. Most entertaining was Aaron's, clearly a man who has looked into the abyss himself, so he gets double points. Incidentally, I must unfortunately declare that references to back problems are no longer topical so don't get an extra half mark - sorry, but his back's fine now.
That means the scoreboard now stands as follows (assuming I can count straight):
- Marie, Jane Henry, Aaron, Toby: 2
- Rev/Views, Persephone, Rullsenberg, 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.

Sitting? At Glastonbury? It's safer to squat.

David smiled contentedly, unaware that there was a miniature flying cow on a imminent collision course with his head.

The Doctor woke up in the middle of the night to find that the TARDIS wallpaper program had crashed, rebooting back to the default: something garishly rhomboidal and vaguely Pink Floydish.

NB appropos of little but I VIVIDLY recall when this was on as I got text messages about it. I as busy replacing my kaput stereo at the time.
Not a caption as such, more a distraction from the point of 'my GOD he looks rough'. Marie, were you AT Galstonbury that year? is that the explanation?

I was, actually. My tent flooded at 5 am and we had to evacuate. I won't specify who I mean by "we".

I'm guessing you haven't seen season five of The Wire yet, Marie. Although it was Glastonbury, I suppose...

You DO know I meant 'submit a lot of pictures', right?
Now you're just being wilful.
And don't think I've forgotten that you described one (rejected) picture submission as being 'commando crawling Tennant' rather than 'Sitting Tennant'.

It's after you told me you were going to be punish me, to be fair.

The intellectual integrity of Sitting Tennant will not be compromised purely so that people can imagine David Tennant without underwear on. Our task is pure.

I'm taking it slow - I've only seen season one so far and I'm too nervous to click on that link in case there be spoilers...

Don't worry. It's just a quote from one of the show's journalists about the usage of the word evacuate...

I see. Well, look at the picture and draw your own conclusions.
