Sitting Tennant

Today’s Sitting Tennants (from Rullsenberg and Persephone): Love’s Labour’s Lost

Love's Labour's Lost

A veritable treasure trove has been found in the Sitting Tennant squat today. Rullsenberg and Persephone have located some pictures of David Tennant in Love’s Labours Lost and its rehearsals. Both submitted the third picture, while Ms Rullsenberg, obviously keen to leapfrog to the front of the pack, submitted all three. Feast on their loveliness.

That means the current Sitting Tennant league tables are as follows. For pictures, Rosby still in the lead now on seven entries. But both Persephone and Rullsenberg have five and a half points each, Toby has five, Poly and Scott both have three and a half points each, Anna and Jane have one and a half, while Marie has just one.

The Witty And Amusing Captions league table has changed a bit, too. Toby is still tops with 15 captions, Persephone has nine captions, Marie eight, and Jane Henry five and a half, thanks to a particularly current caption. Rullsenberg has five captions, Electric Dragon is still on four entries, Rev now has three entries and Poly and Stu_N have one each.

Feel free to leave captions below for this entry, too, and keep those eyes peeled for any new pictures of David Tennant sitting down that you can find. And yes, more bonus points for Love’s Labour’s Lost or other current 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.

Review: Quantum of Solace

I don’t normally do reviews of current films. There’s not much point since I always see them too late. But when I do see a film just as it comes out, invariably my review would be almost identical to Mark Kermode’s. Case in point: Quantum of Solace. Here’s Mark Kermode’s review, which is pretty much word for word what I would have said. Loved the fight scenes though.

Review: The Companion Chronicles 3×4 – Empathy Games

Empathy Games

What’s up here? This is getting silly. Not only has Louise Jameson already starred in three entire series of Gallifrey already, she’s been in the Tomorrow People plays, the last Sapphire and Steel play and a previous Companion Chronicles piece, The Catalyst. Now she gets another one? What did Mary Tamm, Janet Fielding, Sarah Sutton and Matthew Waterhous do wrong? Actually, don’t answer that.

Of course, the quick answer is that Big Finish producer Nigel Fairs seems to like Jameson, given that he’s responsible for writing and directing a sizable number of the plays I just listed. In fact, this follows on directly from The Catalyst, at least in storytelling metaphor, even if the story itself is set at a more random point. Co-starring David Warner (oh look, another Big Finish fave. Fancy that.), the play isn’t as good as The Catalyst and feels like a couple of old Blake’s 7 episodes cobbled together.

I’m not selling it to you, am I?
