Three pictures. Three pictures featuring David Tennant. Three pictures featuring David Tennant recumbent. That must mean it's Friday. Yes, Sitting Tennant is here again to thrill you over this bank holiday weekend.
The first, from Ms Jaradel, comes from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and sees our David being offered a chance to play with some strange man's wand; the second, from Ms Rullsenberg, sees him as a vicar in something, wishing desperately that he had a fag; while the third from Sister Chastity sees our David on the Jonathan Ross Show meeting the tiny man who inspired David's creators to develop a full size version: "Hello, Daddy."
Thanks to the intervention of Stu_N, we have our first inspiration points awarded: two points for Sister Chastity for picture three, which swaps her and Jaradel on the leaderboard. Ooh.
- Rullsenberg: 22.5
- Sister Chastity: 19.5
- Jaradel: 18.5
- Rosby: 2.5
- Persephone: 1
The ten bonus points in the captioning round went to Ms Rullsenberg for her Nigerian fraud email; witty points went to Marie for picture 1, Jane Henry for picture 2; and Ms Rullsenberg for picture 3.
- Toby: 121.5
- Marie: 109.5
- Rullsenberg: 85.5
- Jane Henry: 66.5
- Persephone: 45.5
- Jaradel: 38.5

Ten bonus points will be awarded this week to the person who comes up with the best caption involving Gurkhas, a duck house and/or sympathetic weight gain.
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. And there's a bonus point for using Gary Numan lyrics appropriately.
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.

1. "Here, you must shave with... This!"
2. "That's right, I paid two quid for this haircut. Surprised?"

Is the middle pic from the Trollope adaptation he was in? He knew he was right of The Way we Live Now.?
1. If you think I'm in a bad way you should see what Joanna did to Phil Woolas.
2. Scissors beats paper. I once used this to beat the Movellans you know.
3. I had this made to occupy the duck house as its main residence to allow me to claim for work on the pond. I've told them the pond's a moat.

1. "Hey, who turned out the lights?"
2. "And it was only when I waved goodbye to the Archbishop that I noticed two of my fingers had been cut off."
3a. Gutzon Borglum wondered how he was going to explain the giant sculpture of the Doctor to the Mount Rushmore committee.
3b. "I said I wanted to meet Gurkhas, not Lilliputians!"

Can I vote for Electric Dragon to get points for best use of 'Who Turned Out the Lights?' outside of watching 'The Da Vinci Code' (seriously, that is one hellishly badly lit film)
Anyway: belatedly making an appearance, and thanks for the points last week
Gurkhas, a duck house and/or sympathetic weight gain
Pic 1: you just can't tell how much weight I've put on in this light can you?
Pic 1 (with apologies to Mr Numan): 'here the dark, you can hardly see me, you can't tell if I'm dressed, it's the only way to be, in the dark'
Pic 2: Two guineas for clearing the moat?!
Pic 2: "... and if i snip the umbilical cord will the weight fall off me or your buns?"
pic 3: "even with cravings I'm not sure I could eat a chocolate me. Where's Marie when I need her?"

1. Donna! Get help! The Master has locked me in his duck house!
2. So I twist the braid around and then I stick the hairpin in... where?
3. ...and this is the size I was before I ate all those, ah, sympathetic cakes. Hey, what is sympathetic weight gain anyway?
