Sitting Tennant

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.

Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below and if it’s judged suitable, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery. You can also enter the witting and amusing captions league table by commenting on existing photos in the gallery.

Quentin Crisp tribute evening

As you may have noticed from my December/January BFI highlights, the preview originally promised in November of An Englishman in New York – the sequel to The Naked Civil Servant – doesn’t seem to be happening. However, I just got a note that there will be at least a mini-preview in December:

Hello there!

Just saw your blog post about what’s happening at the BFI this December, and being sad that An Englishman in NY won’t be shown. Just thought I would let you know there will clips of this ITV drama shown at a Quentin Crisp Tribute evening here at Southbank Centre on the 13th of December! We’re only a couple of big brutalist buidlings down from the BFI!
