Friday’s Sitting Tennant: Ms Rullsenberg’s RTD/DT fight

Ms Rullsenberg's Sitting Tennant, featuring David Tennant and Russell T Davies

It’s caption day! Time to discover who’s submitted the best picture of David Tennant in repose of the week, and for all you’s lot to start coming up with witty captions for it.

Why, it’s Ms Rullsenberg who has triumphed this week, giving us this picture of all-out conflict between Russell T Davies and David Tennant, not that Davey T seems that threatened by Rusty.

That gives us the following leaderboard:

  1. Rullsenberg: 30.5
  2. Sister Chastity: 22.5
  3. Jaradel: 20.5
  4. Rosby: 2.5
  5. Persephone: 1

Start captioning, my friends.

Back at witty caption land, this is the first week of the new rules, in which top captioner gets 10 points. After much sitting around measuring my laughter output for each caption using a finely calibrated audio Carusometer, I finally decided that Toby’s second caption had what it took to hit the top.

That gives us the following lovely caption board:

  1. Toby: 131.5
  2. Marie: 112.5
  3. Rullsenberg: 92
  4. Jane Henry: 70.5
  5. Persephone: 45.5
  6. Jaradel: 38.5
  7. Electric Dragon: 31
  8. Rev/Views: 25
  9. Scott 2: 14
  10. Scott: 3
  11. Aaron: 2
  12. almostwitty.com: 1
  13. Stu_N: 1

Remember, you can submit as many captions as you like for today’s picture, with the wittiest getting 10 points next Friday.

Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below or email me and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery.

Every photo displayed on Monday (one per person who sends one in) gets a point, with a bonus point if it’s from the latest DT production; the best pic in the stash each week will appear on Friday and get three points.

You can also enter the witty and amusing captions league table by commenting on Friday’s Sitting Tennant photo, the best caption getting 10 points.

Psychoville viral marketing takes a leaf out of Obsessed’s book

Psychoville

Two of the League of Gentlemen – Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton – have a new show called Psychoville coming to BBC2 on Thursday. To promote it, they appear to have taken a leaf out of the lovely Ali Larter’s promotional playbook and come up with a viral marketing campaign similar to that used for Obsessed.

Simply go to the Psychoville web site, enter a few details and upload a friend’s embarrassing photograph, and they’ll receive a mysterious warning from Graham Norton of a virus that will infect their computer – and a black-gloved man will threaten to expose all their secrets unless they do what he says. You can see a demo version done on David Tennant below.

Review: That Mitchell and Webb Look 3×1

That Mitchell and Webb Look

In the UK: Thursdays, 10pm, BBC2

They’re back. The ubiquitous Robert Webb and David Mitchell are back! Of course, being ubiquitous, it’s not like they seem to have gone away, of course, but here they are, back again, with a new series of That Mitchell and Webb Look, which is – equally, of course – based on their radio show That Mitchell and Webb Sound.

When people say ubiquitous, they generally mean that in a bad way. But having Robert Webb and David Mitchell on just about every TV and radio programme on every TV channel imaginable – whether it’s talking about poetry, dancing on Comic Relief, acting on Peep Show, appearing on game show panels or featuring in ads – is actually a good thing. Because they are very, very funny.

Most of the time.
