Apple fixed my movie

I complained a bit over a year ago about the quality of the version of The Hunt for Red October that I bought from the iTunes Store. Bizarrely, I get the following email from the iTunes Store this morning:

Dear Rob,

How very, very odd – and nice.

Steven Moffat and his heterosexual agenda

Karen Gillan in a mini-skirt

Dear God. Curse that Steven Moffat and his heterosexual agenda. Sexiness in Doctor Who? No. No, no, no, no, no. Since when has Doctor Who been anything more than innocent, unsexual fare for kiddies? I’m going to write a strongly worded letter to the…  

Oh hang on.

Wendy Padbury in a catsuit

Well apart from her. She was a brainy scientist type in a totally authentic outer space librarian outfit.

Liz Shaw in a mini-skirt

And her, cos she was a brainy Cambridge scientist type. They all wore mini-skirts like that in the 70s.

Leela in leathers

Oh definitely apart from her. She’s from outer space – that’s authentic outer space tribeswoman that is.

Tegan in Doctor Who

She doesn’t count – she’s Australian.

Peri in Doctor Who

She’s American. And the producer was gay, so it was entirely innocent.

Peri in a bikini

Oh bugger. Oh well, so much for that idea.

Sitting Tennant

Tuesday’s Sitting Tennant (week 14, 2010)

Erin C's Sitting Tennant

Thanks to the rebirth of our/a significant number of people’s Lord and/or Passover and/or my desire to have a day off, Sitting Tennant is back a day late. There’s no chocolate on it or hot crosses, not even an egg (unless David is sitting on it), but here it is.

Prize-winning picture of the week comes from Erin C, who seems to like pictures of David in tight spaces for some reason. At least there’s a man of the cloth around to make sure everything’s above board.

  1. Rullsenberg, Erin C: 85
  2. Sister Chastity: 75
  3. Toby: 65
  4. Sabine: 60
  5. Rachel: 40
  6. Karen: 35
  7. Dawn: 5

In caption land, the popular vote awarded 10 points to Toby for a metaphor rather than a pun, thankfully. Five points to everyone else for contributing such wonderful other captions, and good luck to everyone again this week.

  1. Toby: 65
  2. Rullsenberg: 60
  3. Jane Henry, Electric Dragon, Marie: 50
  4. ecg: 35
  5. Rachel: 30
  6. Sabine, SK: 20
  7. kellyann06, Sister Chastity: 10
  8. whogal, Joe B: 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. 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.
