Sitting Tennant

Today’s Sitting Tennant (from Marie)

20 May 2008 Rob Buckley 5 Comments

David Tennant Pillowman Nov0More of a portrait miniature this one and it’s from The Pillowman. Is it my imagination or did David Tennant spend an awful lot of time sitting down during The Pillowman? Was it a particularly long play? Was he a bit poorly and needed plenty of rest?

Many thanks to Marie for her sterling foraging. Was it a big hardship for you? I do hope not.

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 in due course.

New 90210 spin-off trailer

20 May 2008 Rob Buckley Post a comment

As Cindylover pointed out, I neglected the new 90210 spin-off in my round-up of the new The CW shows. True, I’d forgotten, but I also didn’t have much to work with.

Now though, we have a trailer. No footage, but interviews with the cast. I have to say, I threw up a bit in my mouth when I saw it, but your reaction might be different.
