Thanks Emma

This Jubillee Pageant is really a step up to the big time now and not before time. Must be one of the hardest working presenters on TV/Radio (if not THE hardest working). I will have to record the Boat Pageant as I will be there and all the 0ther lovley extras will have to catch on i player. 'Ive not seen animal rescue either so will be a first for me.

Must admit was surprised to see CF being filmed this week what with all the bodding off to France and all the Jubilee preperations

Matt on Sunday CF

Have a gread weekend everyone either you stay in and watch telly or go out and celebrate!

Hiya everyone - hope everyone is having a brilliant day!

Just seen the pic of Katie filming on the beach (Studland?) for a future CF prog. MB is also in Dorset, the weather is warm, so we could get a T-shirt or checky shirt....nice

I can't believe that Matt is on so many programmes on Sunday! Matt TV indeed! I will miss quite a lot of it unfortunately but will try and record some and/or catch up on IPlayer etc. Not the same as seeing and hearing the man live and experiencing a thudtastic time along with everyone else.

Such a shame that it seems that the drought will return on Sunday...Lotus you may indeed need the sou'westers and wellies as you view the pageant. Lovely to have you back on here by the way and glad you had a good time with your visitor

Ah well, better go and deal with dinner, back later.....

Studland....................Know it oh so well

Thanks for the stats kk. Yes, doing well for hot, summer weather.

Have been out shopping most of the day with daughter-in-law who tried on everything and bought nothing. Exhausting! I'm going to have to catch up with everything Matt-related tomorrow. Just haven't got the energy left today.

Durham seems too close yet too far for you, Lotus.

You probably spot yourself on telly on Sunday!


Is there a beach called Studland? Haven’t heard before. I like to see Matt in a nicely tight fitted shirt & jeans, the similar to the one from the beer barrel rolling barge sprawling CF episode.

Evening

Hope everyone is ok.
thanks emma for the matty links


The friends style start to tos was great, Matt looks great in his shirt, nice unbuttonage,SNW views, with the added bouns of rolled up sleeves. lovely. thanks kk for the lovely pics and doing the mb fans twitter news

Moving on to the 1st May with guest Ricky Gervais (and an appearance from Michael Johnson) . We have VTs on the "uncanny valley" - that level of CGI animation that just feels creepy (Marty Jopson), Christian the lion - who was bought from Harrods in the 1960s (Gyles Brandreth), and the Boeing Dreamliner 787 (Matt Allwright).

Matt is wearing a blue shirt, navy buttoned jumper, and dark beige chinos

Welcome to The One Show (with a revised entrance as Matt and Alex walk in to the studio)

Watched the OS tonight as I thought mention would be made of Sunday's coverage of the the river pageant. There was a little reference to it but neither CE nor AJ alluded to the fact that our man would be presenting the programme with Ms Raworth. I note MB is entitled 'Presenter' whilst AJ is entitled 'Participant'....oh dear.....

AJ was in my paper today regarding the over-use of St Tr*pez and other tanning agents. She was pictured in the bright yellow dress she wore to the Glamour awards and much as I like Alex, she looked slightly too dazzling.

Back to us mere mortals....hope you had a delicious meal in a swanky restaurant Lotus. Me....I bunged something in the oven from Sain*bury's. And Rita, what a pity your DIL didn't buy any clothes at all today. All that energy wasted on nothing. For myself, I would thoroughly relish a day's shopping (not had a day out for 8 weeks ) and would purchase just about anything for the sake of it!

Up early tomorrow to buy heaps of strawberries for a Jubilee lunch so I will not return on here later! CCM, nighty night, the stars are in the skies....:sleep: xx

oops Just managed to delete post
SG Pocs Pocs and more pocs to you. The thought of the 16th June must be keeping your spiirits on a high.
Just hope the drought isn't too heavy tomorrow but am packing brollies and waterproofs just in case I have mu union flags and have bedecked my house in patriotic colours Hope you have a lovely jubbly jubilee lunch

The only three listed as presenters are Hugh, Matt and Sophie - all the others seems to be contributors/participant depending on what you are reading

Will miss The Voice as well tonight my fav is Bo so hope she wins

Emma - Studland is an area in Dorset - Studland Bay .Its over the water from the Sandbanks Ferry on the Isle of Purbeck. Spent many a day there with my children when we lived in Poole

Afternoon everyone


BRrrrr, it's cold, jumper back on, what a difference from last weekend, sitting out in the garden enjoying the sun.




Lovely pics kk, matt looks great, nice jumper with stubble on its way , gawgus not a great show for me with ricky g on, but michael j was good.

Sitting down waiting for the current tennis match to finish, then andy m is on, a nailbiting afternoon, will his back hold out or not.

Such a shame when they don't do an HD version for Iplayer, isn't it. Someone on that team needs firing!

Matt looks like a schoolboy here, sitting on the headmaster's bench waiting to be punished for some misdemeanour

It was a lovely little sequence, wasn't it. I've only ever seen a few episodes of Friends but did like what I saw.

What a lovely shirt this was. Didn't realize the details on it were blue. Or maybe they just didn't show up on my TV. It's such a beautiful fit anyway.

I think this one is my favourite:

But I do like this one too:

Finishing up with perfect shoulders and a bit of knee as well
http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...31at220034.png

Much appreciated, thank you kk.

Quite like this look. A year ago I would have thought it too conservative but have seen some strange things since then, so this is at least nice and smart. Like the brown trousers.

It was a strange show, but then anything with Ricky Gervais is. He has a slight dampening effect on everything he touches I feel. I think he's a very clever man who doesn't quite hit the mark a lot of the time, and also who thinks a bit too much of himself. That comedy routine he was in stitches over wasn't funny at all to me. I thought it would not be out of place on a children's show but not for adults. Ah well.

This one is nice:
http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...01at212604.png

I always like pics of Matt using his very creative hands:
http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...01at212745.png
http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...01at212802.png

Are the trousers checked? I'm sure I can see faint horizontal lines here:
http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...01at212928.png

Lovely expression in this one:
http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...01at213103.png

Like the slight tongue-out in this one:
http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...01at213329.png

A serious renaissance shot. That's different. Usually he smiles for the renaissance pics:
http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...01at213642.png

I always like the head-back, quizzical expression:
http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...01at213713.png

And what a beautiful smile:

Thank you kk.

Evening a quick post not much spare time this week


Wont be seeing much of the celebrations this weekend as its the dreaded nights this week, and its got very busy again, spent alot of last night crawling around the floor (dont ask)

So think the sky box will be working overtime taping tomorrow!

Evening all. Just posting about the Jubilee Pageant - Sophie Raworth has been posting pics of boats on twitter and it's already looking impressive. I suspect Matt's probably in London too as they will have to have had a run through today. If he is I hope his family are in London too for the weekend

Just to clarify presenting - Huw Edwards is the BBC Royal Correspondent at the moment. He's the main presenter of the whole Jubilee weekend. So, whilst he's listed as a presenter on the pageant I suspect his role is more "introductory". When the pageant coverage was announced it was clearly stated that Matt and Sophie where the event presenters.

With regards to Alex - she, along with half of the BBC - is doing commentary duty from various bits of the route. She's on a cooking boat with the Hairy Bikers. Clare Balding is on board the royal row barge Gloriana, there's comedians like Griff Rhys Jones on a boat for amusing asides (hopefully amusing anyway!), Jake Humphrey is there somewhere too. And so on...

I would guess that they did tests with a whole bunch of different presenters for the main roles. I suspect they wanted one serious news type and one from light entertainment. Probably people like Jake, Alex, Sian Williams, Chris Hollins, etc... would have been considered. So we can be pleased that Matt clearly worked for them and works well with Sophie.

But I suspect Alex won't be too upset at not having a main presenting gig for the jubilee - she's had a good couple of years. From nowhere to having a Monday to Friday primetime presenting job and 2 seasons of a well-rated Saturday night entertainment show (in "Let's Dance").

Hi Cass - nice you could pop in here quickly.

I know the feeling about not having any spare time....but mine's not work related. And we won't ask about the crawling on the floor, it's sure to be something that gave you even more work to do.

Haven't got Sk*Plus or any other means of recording other than videos or recordable DVDs (and we haven't quite mastered our new piece of equipment yet ) so it's going to be a bit hit and miss as to what's actually recorded. Thank goodness for IPlayer and Ms KK!!

Seen bits of the Beeb News about all the preparations for tomorrow. Daughters and extended family are at the Hyde Park event today so the excitement is building up over the weekend. Today turned out better weather-wise than was hoped so you never know about tomorrow, fingers crossed and all that.....

Will probably tune in to The Vo*ce final - haven't felt terribly engaged with the whole concept so I'm a bit ho-hum about it. Unlike a certain final in December 2010....was it that long ago? That was the start of a long journey with the FBB.

Hope everyone is having a great Saturday, birthday girls and bodding girls especially!

Off to prepare the dinner, person of many talents, me (ahem) and will be back later.....but much later.... :sleep:

I can record onto USB on my new upstairs TV so will set to timer for the pageant as I wont have the benefit of his masters voice whilst I'm watching from the banks of the Thames.(Well hope to) OH went to bed with a migraine but has now recovered so plans were almost thwarted

Cass - wont ask about crawling round the floorThe mind boggles. Does this come under ny other duties???? Spare time -whats that? On holiday in 12 days - cant wait

Well am managing to watch The V****e - been half hearted til now but seems to be good

Evening all

It eventually warmed up, had about half of sun, then the cloud come over again, just starting to drought

Lotus have a fabulous day watching the boat pageant from the river, i hope the weather holds off and it stays dry, i'll be watching on the telly and recording it and gym with my digi box toy

Cass sounds like you been having an interesting time at work, hope it's been quiter tonight and no floor crawling

Star hows things going with you, OH hoping around more, bet your counting down the days until your little trip north.

Hi all

Just a reminder:

Animal Rescue Squad (Channel 5 and Channel 5HD at 10am)
Actually this program was first broadcasted in 2008 covering 2 series – 30 episodes in Series 1 and 10 episodes in Series 2 but tomorrow program is an hour long highlights show and to be repeated on Channel 5 plus 1 at 11am. If you miss it out you can still catch up again on 5 June at 11am (Channels remain the same).

You all know the rest of his shows on Sunday but in case you need to check the programs.

Live coverage of the Diamond Jubilee Thames Pageant on BBC 1 and BBC HD at 1.30pm
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01jmp4t
In my view, the coverage lad by Matt and Sophie means they are going to join all the jigsaw pieces (done by other famous names) to show us viewers a whole picture of the Diamond Jubilee Thames Pageant. Matt said he liked to be on a boat but I think co-hosting the unprecedented coverage is the best suit for him because it is more challenging yet rewarding as well. As he is outgoing person, he might like to go out and steer a boat like he was on CF but if he does it would be less challenging for him to do his own piece of jigsaw.

And KK is right; Huw and the other will join Matt and Sophie according to Matt’s website.

Men's European Championship on BBC 2 and HD at 2.30pm
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01jrt6q

Countryfile on BBC 1 and HD at 6.30pm
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01jt6qx

By the way, what a lovely voiceover that I heard from ‘She’s the One’ Diamond Jubilee advert, perfectly chosen by the BBC.


Lotus, lucky you because you have been the places Countryfile has visited.

To me, Studland rather sounds Thudland if Matt was filming there.

Have a lovely Super Mattful Sunday tomorrow everyone!

Night all!

Thanks Emma for putting all the details in front of us - very handy. Have only been able to record the pageant so will have to catch up with the gym on iplayer and hopefully will be able to see CF live.

Cor, what a Mattfest!!

Been a bit of an evening, am a bit shattered, so will say CCM - what a day ahead of us. Night night. :sleep: xx

Hope evryone has a good day . Off to the Big Smoke where it is droughting at the mo. Nener mind we're British!!!

And somewhere in all that I've got to fit in the tennis too Morning all, and thanks Emma for for posting this handy planner.

Hellaw

Not long now until the river pageant and a suited and booted matt, a wonderful afternoon of mattness

Evening all.

What a shame about the rain and bad weather, halfway through of the river pageant, it was awful, everyone looking very wet and bedraggled.
Matt looked fab in his grey suit, he did well in the studio,got in a few puns. but the lighting was terrible in the studio for most of it, as he was either half in the shade or in full glare of the studio light, plus the problems they seemed to have going to and coming back from links, with the rain getting into everything, lost links to the boats a few times, and ended back in the studio when they were not expecting it, so it didn't go very smoothly, nice seeing all the boats going down the river, the commentator did seem at a lost as to what to say sometimes,but it was enjoyable.
lotus hope you had a good day didn't get too wet.

Cf was great, matt looked good in his fleecey jacket, nice stubble, lovely and bouncy, bodding around the countyside, eating scones and playing on trains, and hedge trimming. fabulous
Adams highland calf are really cute, they have names now.
