Friday’s Sitting Tennant (week 32, 2010)

Erin C's Sitting Tennant

Ms Rullsenberg's Sitting Tennant

Sister Chastity and Toby's Sitting Tennant

It’s Friday so you’re going to need something to keep you occupied over the weekend. Here, have some pictures of David Tennant sitting down, provided by Erin, Rullsenberg, Sister Chastity and Toby. You may notice there’s only three pics, but that’s because Sister Chastity and Toby have started sending the same ones in. They still get the points though.

  1. Erin C: 225
  2. Rullsenberg, Sister Chastity: 215
  3. Toby: 150
  4. Rachel: 90
  5. Sabine: 65
  6. Karen: 35
  7. dreamer-easy: 30
  8. Dawn: 10
  9. kellyann06: 5

Don’t forget Tuesday’s caption competition (fingers crossed, that’s the right link this week). And as a bonus, since there were only three this week, here’s a picture of David Tennant that had to be rejected from the Sitting Tennant competition for obvious reasons.

David Tennant not sitting down

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. Don’t forget to include your name in the filename so I don’t get mixed up about who sent it to me.

The best pic in the stash each week will appear on Monday and get ten points; the runners up will appear on Friday (one per person who sends one in) and get five points.

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

Some weird old title sequences

Normally on a Friday, I like to look at old TV programme with a weird title sequence (“Weird old title sequences”) or sometimes just one that’s a bit hard to find these days and which I rather like (“Lost Gems”) – and then I cobble together a brief precis of it and its good points.

This week, I’m going for something slightly different. Someone’s put together a montage of 10 rare title sequences from the 1960s – so rare I’ve not heard of half them and which look like Lost Gems in some cases – so I thought I’d let the vid speak for itself.

The programmes, most of which have ridiculously cool title sequences and starred people who became famous later on, included are:

  • Johnny Staccato with John Cassavetes
  • Mr Broadway with Craig Stevens
  • 87th Precinct with Robert Lansing
  • Checkmate with Doug McClure
  • Suspense Theatre
  • Amos Burke Secret Agent with Gene Barry
  • Hawk with Burt Reynolds
  • T.H.E. Cat with Robert Loggia
  • The Baron with Steve Forrest
  • Man In A Suitcase with Richard Bradford

Enjoy!
