Sitting Tennant

Today’s Sitting Tennant (from Rullsenberg): Love in the 21st Century.

David Tennant in Love in the 21st Century

As we head towards the end of the year and the unveiling of the winners of the 2008 Sitting Tennant Awards (any ideas what the prizes should be?), there’s now everything to play for and some people are playing for it very hard.

Today’s Sitting Tennant, for example, comes from a big stack that Ms Rullsenberg has sent me, meaning she’s opening up a lead on Ms Rosby that seemed unthinkable just a few weeks ago – we might even have enough for a Sitting Tennant advent calendar this week. It comes from Love in the 21st Century and clearly involves a Land of the Giants crossover, judging by the laptop DT is using.

As a result, the Sitting Tennant picture competition table now stands as follows:

  • Rullsenberg: 9.5
  • Rosby: 8
  • Persephone: 6.5
  • Toby: 5
  • Poly, Scott: 3.5
  • Jane: 2.5
  • Anna, Electric Dragon: 1.5
  • Marie: 1

The Witty And Amusing Captions league table sees Toby recover a very small portion of his old lead over Marie thanks to some extreme captioning, in a round that also saw a surprising number of back-related captions:

  • Toby: 24
  • Marie: 22
  • Jane Henry: 15
  • Rullsenberg: 14
  • Persephone: 12
  • Rev, Electric Dragon: 5
  • Stu_N: 2
  • Poly, Andrea: 1

As always, captions and new submissions for the gallery, please. Remember, you can submit as many (witty) captions as you like for each and every picture, with topical captions getting extra marks – as do pictures of David Tennant in current productions.  

The final Sitting Tennant of 2008 will be on December 23rd when the results will be announced.

It seems the new layout for Sitting Tennant was a good move, since suddenly we have a veritable onslaught of Tennants in a sitting position. Today, we have three: one from young Rosby (who clearly likes her Tennnants young and windswept) and thought that that was going to be enough to hold on to her lead; but two from Ms Rullsenberg who is therefore declared the new leader. Told you you’d be caught napping, Rossers.

The Sitting Tennant picture competition table now stands as follows:

  • Rullsenberg: 8.5
  • Rosby: 8
  • Persephone: 6.5
  • Toby: 5
  • Poly, Scott: 3.5
  • Jane: 2.5
  • Anna, Electric Dragon: 1.5
  • Marie: 1

The Witty And Amusing Captions league table now sees Marie within striking distance of Toby thanks to some extreme wittiness (and topicality) on her part from her sick bed, while the middle of the board continues to see neck and neck excitement – like an Algonquin Roundtable version of Super Mario Kart:

  • Toby: 21
  • Marie: 19.5
  • Jane Henry: 13.5
  • Persephone: 12
  • Rullsenberg: 10.5
  • Rev, Electric Dragon: 5
  • Stu_N: 2
  • Poly, Andrea: 1

Today’s Sitting Tennant (from Persephone): The Graham Norton Show

David Tennant on the Graham Norton Show

Today’s Sitting Tennant comes from Persephone and is from The Graham Norton Show. Apparently, David’s acting out some of his favourite porn, doing both roles as part of a one-man show, which sounded increasingly unpleasant even as I wrote it. Persephone says she’s been saving up the picture for some reason.

Captions please. Reasons why Persephone’s been saving it up do not count as captions.

The Sitting Tennant picture competition table now stands as follows, with Persephone rejoining Rullsenberg in second place. One picture from either of you and you’ll be in the lead, if Rosby doesn’t wake up soon:

  • Rosby: 7
  • Rullsenberg, Persephone: 6.5
  • Toby: 5
  • Poly, Scott: 3.5
  • Jane: 2.5
  • Anna, Electric Dragon: 1.5
  • Marie: 1

The Witty And Amusing Captions league table has seen some excitement, with a very concerted effort from Marie. Here how it stands now:

  • Toby: 21
  • Marie: 16
  • Jane Henry: 12.5
  • Persephone: 11
  • Rullsenberg: 9.5
  • Electric Dragon, Rev: 4
  • Stu_N: 2
  • Poly, Andrea: 1

As always, keep your eyes peeled for any new pictures of David Tennant sitting down that you can find, and keep coming up with those captions – there’ll be bonus points for topical captions and pictures if you can find them.

Today’s Sitting Tennant (from Electric Dragon): Einstein and Eddington

David Tennant in Einstein and Eddington

Today’s Sitting Tennant is from Saturday’s Einstein and Eddington, which I still haven’t watched. Oh well. It’s on my iPod – I”ll get round to it at some point. It involved two scientific geniuses, one of whom was probably gay, one of whom wasn’t – parallels to Last of the Time Lords, I wonder?

Anyway, captions please. They can involve that haircut.

Notably, this is Mr Electric Dragon’s first entry in the picture competition aspect of Sitting Tennant; even more notably is that Ms Rullsenberg, on six and a half points, didn’t take the opportunity to submit another entry in the competition and take over the lead from the dormant Rosby, who’s still on top seven points, so she remains in second place. Persephone isn’t too far away on five and a half points, Toby has five, Poly and Scott both have three and a half points each, Jane has two and a half, Anna and Electric Dragon have one and a half each, while Marie has one.

The Witty And Amusing Captions league table hasn’t seen much change but everyone is looking very verved up and witty, with a concerted effort by all the assembled commenters. Toby has now hit the 20 captions mark, so kudos to him. Marie stays in second on 13. But now Jane Henry has overtaken Persephone to take third place on 10 and a half captions to Persephone’s 10. Rullsenberg now has eight and a half, Electric Dragon and Rev are still tied but are on four entries each this time, and Poly and Stu_N are stuck on one each. New entry Andrea has chimed in as well, so she joins them on one, too.

As always, keep your eyes peeled for any new pictures of David Tennant sitting down that you can find, and keep coming up with those captions – there’ll be bonus points for topical captions and pictures if you can find them.

Today’s Sitting Tennant (from Rullsenberg): Andrew Marr

David Tennant on Andrew Marr's breakfast show

Today’s Sitting Tennant comes courtesy of Ms Rullsenberg and sees the Labour-supporting David Tennant enjoying himself thoroughly sitting next to current London mayor and arch-Conservative (and arch conservative) Boris Johnson on Andrew Marr’s breakfast show. Captions please.

That gives us the current Sitting Tennant league tables: for pictures, Rosby’s still in the lead on seven entries, but now Rullsenberg is just half a point behind on six and a half points and Persephone isn’t too far away on five and a half points. Toby has five, Poly and Scott both have three and a half points each, Jane has two and a half, Anna has one and a half, while Marie has one.

The Witty And Amusing Captions league table is getting tighter, too. Toby is king of the hill with 19 captions but Marie is queen on 12. Persephone is on 10 captions, Jane Henry is very close behind on nine and a half, Rullsenberg has seven and a half, Electric Dragon and Rev are now tied on four entries, and Poly and Stu_N are marooned on one each.

As always, keep your eyes peeled for any new pictures of David Tennant sitting down that you can find, and keep coming up with those captions – there’ll be bonus points for topical captions and pictures if you can find them.
