David Tennant in the Boots ad

As usual, a little something for the weekend – a Sitting Tennant, the first of 2009. As you can see, DT is busily seeing who won 2008’s competition.

The scores are reset, everything’s back to zero. Captions and pictures, please. On your marks, get set, go!

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.

Elvenquest explained

I mentioned Elvenquest earlier in the week. Now the plot is clearer:

We’d love you to join us for Elvenquest, a brand new sitcom exploring the funny side of the eternal struggle against the forces of evil. Elvenquest is a cross between Lord Of The Rings and Galaxy Quest, with a bit of ‘Crystal Maze‘ thrown in for good measure.

There you go then. All explained. Anyone going to go (dates, etc on the previous entry)?

The Border finale

Pay attention, UK readers: this may be about a Canadian show, but it’s going to be on FX (aka “The channel that gets all the good stuff but no one can get and no one watches”) in the UK soon, so it affects you now.

The Border is Canada’s good TV programme. An atypically conservative take on world affairs, it’s a look at terrorism, crime, international relations, spies and other nefarious activities, all set to the backdrop of Canada’s Immigration and Customs Security (ICS) agency. It does what 24 and Spooks does – except better and with a smaller cast.

So popular did it prove when it aired during the American writers’ strike last January that it was re-commissioned for a second season while it was still airing, and a third one is on its way soon.

But since most of y’all won’t be watching it for a while, I’ll continue talking about it after the jump – and specifically, the second season finale.
