Friday’s Sitting Tennant (week 2, 2010)

It’s a joint winner in the picture competition this week, since both (more or less) Sabine and Sister Chastity provided this delightful treat for y’all. Thank them both kindly. Good luck to everyone next week!
- Toby, Sister Chastity: 20
- Sabine, Rullsenberg: 10
In the first caption competition of the year, oh dear God, what happened? Two people? Only two people captioning? Don’t you love him any more? At this rate, we’re going to have to phase out Sitting Tennant in favour of Sittings on Smith (in which various people sit on Matt Smith) – is that what you want?
Low entry rate aside, congratulations to Jane Henry, who gets 10 points for her caption, while Rullsenberg gets a very respectable five for taking part. Well done the both of you – he loves you best, you know.
- Jane Henry: 10
- Rullsenberg: 5
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 five points; the best pic in the stash each week will appear on Friday and get ten 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, everyone who contributes getting five points.

Supernatural – season five in the UK: a trailer, an online game and the devil speaking to you
Living TV now has first-run rights to Supernatural and to promote season five, it’s got a trailer and an online/real-world game in which you can win prizes (UK players only I’m afraid), as well as a video from Satan himself.
Unfortunately, since Living’s PRs haven’t got a proper handle on this new-fangled Interweb thing, they only videos they have are 640 pixels wide and can’t be resized so won’t fit in this lovely window. So you’ll have to click here for the season trailer and here for a very special message to UK viewers from Satan.
UPDATE: They’ve provided some proper-sized vids now:
