David Tennant on a Sunday

Time for a bank holiday weekend edition of Sitting Tennant – would you rather be working or out in the sun looking on your laptop at David Tennant sitting down (or even David Tennant sitting down on your laptop)? Thought so.

Three pictures from our regular three picture contributors: Jaradel, Rullsenberg and Sister Chastity. Praise them for their generosity. Maybe we’ll have to have a lucky dip way to allow other pictures to come out of the stash to beat this rationing deadlock? Bonus picture for anyone who gets a wittiest caption point? Or how about a weekly “Scavenger Hunt”, such as “the first person to find a picture of David Tennant sitting down but doing… will get 5 bonus points”?

  1. Rullsenberg: 19.5
  2. Jaradel: 16.5
  3. Sister Chastity: 14.5
  4. Rosby: 2.5
  5. Persephone: 1

At witty caption central, Toby inspired awe by reaching the 100 point mark – he’s a captioning machine (I don’t mean a teleprompter), while Jane Henry and Rullsenberg remain neck and neck. Witty caption points went to: Persephone for picture 1; Jaradel and Toby both for picture 2; and Jaradel again and Marie for picture 3.

Just to really cause some excitement and to try out the bonus points thing, 10 points this week to whomever comes up with the best caption involving one or more of the following: swine flu, May Day rallies and Carol Ann Duffy.

  1. Toby: 100
  2. Marie: 89
  3. Jane Henry, Rullsenberg: 57.5
  4. Persephone: 45.5
  5. Jaradel: 38.5
  6. Electric Dragon: 20
  7. Rev/Views 16
  8. Scott: 3
  9. Aaron: 2
  10. 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.
