Just in case you missed it, on last night’s Tonight’s The Night, a Doctor Who fanboy had the chance to go on the Doctor Who set and act out a Doctor Who scene written by Russell T Davies starring John Barrowman and David Tennant. And here it is on YouTube. Enjoy the bank holiday!

Sitting Tennant
Today’s Sitting Tennants: Harry Potter, some thing where he’s a vicar, and the Jonathan Ross show
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
- Electric Dragon: 25

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.

CBS shows coming in Fall 2009
CBS isn’t the sexiest of networks, but with its constant diet of cop procedurals, Chuck Lorre comedies and adult-skewed programming, it’s about the only one that’s done better this year than it did last. Apparently convinced that slow and steady – and unsexy – shows with bad scripts but good casts will win the race, CBS has two more cop procedurals, two medical procedurals and a law procedural – oh, and a comedy about a pregnant movie critic, starring someone who used to be in a Chuck Lorre comedy. They always like to throw a wildcard into the mix, don’t they?
So, after the jump, plot run-downs and videos from Accidentally On Purpose, The Good Wife, NCIS: Los Angeles, Three Rivers, The Bridge and Miami Trauma.
