David Tennant

A day early to give you all some holiday time and a day of preparation for the excitement of the Easter Special, Planet of the Dead, Sitting Tennant is here, bursting with pictures of David Tennant taking it easy thanks to Rullsenberg and Jaradel. Here we see him traumatised and thinking of times past after an obviously awkward lunch with the Doctor Who producers in which no one felt they could discuss that fishing trip incident.

Thanks to Jaradel’s topicality and Sister Chastity performing penance of some kind, the leaderboard now stands as follows:

  1. Rullsenberg: 16.5
  2. Jaradel: 13
  3. Sister Chastity: 11.5
  4. Rosby: 2.5

I do have a big pile of pics from Jaradel and Rullsenberg, so I’m not sure what to do to clear the backlog. More Sitting Tennants? More Tennants sitting per Sitting Tennant? Rationing? Some kind of quota system. Any ideas?

Meanwhile, back at the witty caption competition, Marie tried to use Gary Numan lyrics without knowing any and thus was unable to use them appropriately.

Never trifle with Gary Numan, Marie.

Nevertheless, she still got wittiest caption point for picture 1 for her second musical entry. Persephone gets point two while Jane Henry picks up the third witty point. That means it’s all change at the top again!

  1. Marie: 71.5
  2. Toby: 71
  3. Jane Henry: 48.5
  4. Rullsenberg: 43.5
  5. Persephone: 38.5
  6. Jaradel: 30.5
  7. Electric Dragon: 15
  8. Rev/Views 10
  9. Scott: 3
  10. Aaron: 2
  11. almostwitty.com: 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. 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.
