David Tennant’s the new host of PBS’s Masterpiece Contemporary in the US, so since a few of you like him, I thought you’d appreciate this little trailer he’s put together for it.

New idea – what do you think: the TV blog spotlight
So it occurred to me that it might be a nice idea to start profiling some other blogs that readers might find interesting. You know the form, do a little email interview about the blog, the owner, why they set it up, what it covers, what they do – that sort of thing. That way y’all might get to know about some good reading and some good programmes you can watch (or bad programmes you can avoid).
I’m not sure how regular it would be and I’d like to get a few together before I start it, but do I hear any volunteers or suggestions for blogs that should be featured? I have a few ideas for whom to feature, but I’d like to gauge levels of support first.
Sitting Tennant
Friday’s Sitting Tennant (from Rullsenberg): Comic Con
Back again and resuming its usual schedule, it’s Sitting Tennant – deliberately giving you more pictures of David Tennant sitting down than any other site on the Internet (there may be some giving you more by accident).
This week’s picture is once again from Ms Rullsenberg, which extends her lead over Sister Chastity, despite the Sister’s many topical, stalker pics, which will come in very useful on Mondays. It’s from the Comic Con. What has DT been up to?
- Rullsenberg: 54.5
- Sister Chastity: 49.5
- Jaradel: 35.5
- Toby: 5
- Rosby: 2.5
- Lauren: 4
- Amy: 2
- Persephone, Sabine: 1
Over in captions, it’s Toby who managed to recycle an old classic to come out on top this week. Bow in awe, but watch out Marie.
- Marie: 152.5
- Toby: 151.5
- Rullsenberg: 102
- Jane Henry: 70.5
- Electric Dragon: 51
- Persephone: 45.5
