Once more to the Sitting Tennant breach, dear friends. Once more. Wherever David Tennant’s breach might happen to be, that is.
Today’s Sitting Tennants come from Sister Chastity and Jaradel. Sister Chastity shows us David trying his very best to make room on his chaise lounge for what he no doubt hopes is the blonde invisible woman, who quite generously then turns up to snog him during a photo shoot with someone who looks suspiciously like Christian O’Connell.
Meanwhile, Jaradel has a photo from the pilot by BBC Scotland for a home-grown version of Superman – in which Superman crash lands in Britain in the 60s instead of on a Kansas farm and gets taught the virtue of “not trying too hard” instead of “truth, justice and the American way”; as well as a picture of David on his way to that first audition for the part of the Doctor, wearing his mum’s home-made Tom Baker scarf – pity she didn’t have the right wool.
That means Sister Chastity has overtaken the apparently comatose Rosby (won’t someone play the cello to her?) and Jaradel has closed the gap with Rullsenberg to give us a scoreboard which looks like this:
- Rullsenberg: 9
- Jaradel: 7
- Sister Chastity: 3
- Rosby: 2.5
Back at the witty caption competition, we had an international distress call raised by Persephone, seeking anyone with pictures featuring both David Tennant and Ioan Gruffudd, although no one’s answered her cry for help yet – any takers?
But again, something of a lull in the captioning. What’s up there? Don’t let Sitting Tennant wither and die on the vine/chair/chaise lounge! Come on newbies, everyone’s welcome to join in. And all you have to do is write 31 captions in one go and you’ll be at the top of the board.
Nevertheless, with the added benefit of credit crunch topicality to boost the scores of a few loyal captioners, Toby gets bonus points for wittiest picture 1 caption, as does Marie for this picture 2 caption while Rullsenberg gets a boost (ooh er Mrs) from her picture 3 caption.
That means the caption leader board now looks like this:
- Marie: 31
- Toby: 27.5
- Jane Henry: 26.5
- Rullsenberg: 19
- Persephone: 18.5
- Jaradel: 12
- Rev/Views 10
- Scott, Electric Dragon: 3
- Aaron: 2
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.
