The Andromeda Strain out on DVD

The Andromeda Strain - The Mini-Series

Blimey! That didn’t take long. 

It hasn’t aired in the UK yet – no one’s picked up the rights for one thing – and it only aired in the US over the Memorial Day weekend, yet The Andromeda Strain mini-series is already out on DVD in the UK.

I wonder what the thinking is there:

  • No one’s going to acquire it so get the cash while there might be Internet buzz?
  • No one’s going to acquire it so get the cash before there’s Internet buzz?
  • Sci-fi fans will buy it immediately and then watch it on tele anyway?
  • If it gets sold on DVD a lot, the TV companies will acquire it?
  • Something else?
Sitting Tennant

Today’s Sitting Tennant

I’m going to hazard a guess this is a Casanova shot. Note that even though you cannot see that David Tennant’s rear is in contact with a piece of furniture or supportive surface, he is clearly sitting – these pictures are still eligible for the Sitting Tennant gallery.

As Marie wittily reminded me yesterday, you can provide your own captions for this or any other picture in the gallery to amuse us all.

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 in due course
