Tuesday’s Sitting Tennant (week 24, 2011)
Hebbie’s sent in a new stash of pics and in this one, we have to ask why is David so grumpy? Is it because he’s up against Matt Smith for best actor in some awards ceremony or other? Enquiring minds want to know, so caption away everyone.

- Sister Chastity: 135
- Erin C: 75
- Rullsenberg: 55

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 and doesn’t obviously infringe copyright, 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 Tuesday 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 Tuesday’s Sitting Tennant photo, the best caption getting 10 points, everyone who contributes getting five points.
