Pics from tonight CF in Buckinghamshire, I almost switched off my telly as I have started losing interest in watching CF live since last 2 weeks but Matt’s soft tone of voice drew my full attention on the program. That's what I'd see him contributing as a key presenter not the hybrid one - not a presenter nor a participant. That's worth my time to watch it live.
By the way has anyone had a chance to listen to this radio interview with Matt a week ago? I missed that. I don't know where to look at anyway.https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n...29110735_n.jpg Star of the one show and countryfile - Matt Baker talks "box hedges" with Phil McCann on Saturday Breakfast from 6am. Source: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?f...type=1&theatre https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...1340099&type=1 ![]() first of all thank you Emma & KK for all the pictures & screencaps - I do pop on here to look but rarely have time to post anything. Much appreciated tho The red T shirt one is particularly good - one of my favourites ever. Please God send us a hot summer cos he needs to shed the layers more often. He's looking very fit at the moment as well - arms are Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge is some of those pics ![]() It was good to hear him at the start of cf again tonight after it seems like Ellies been doing it most times lately. I'm not reading anything into that really but obviously I prefer to hear him. I'm sort of with Emma in what she says about losing a bit of interest in cf lately.....I have a little bit and not sure why. I think my reason is partly that I'm finding Matts pieces a little bit less exciting than they used to be and partly cos I miss the Matt/Julia thing. Don't get me wrong I still watch it and still enjoy it but like Emma I wasn't a CF viewer before and if I'm honest I'm only watching it for Matt. We often seem to be debating whether his time on the show is getting less - I don't think it has much but what I do think is that he seems to be doing an awful lot of visiting houses/gardens and food related items and less of the adventurous outdoors stuff he used to do. Whether theres a reason for this I don't know....but I know I'm hankering after a climbing/mountain biking/getting dirty & sweaty one soon. Also I'm not disliking Ellie at all. I do like her but just find her a little bit bland....I really miss the flirty big sister vibe Julia always had and of course she was brilliant with Matt. but it has to be said while he continues to go to the gym (allegedly ) and wear tight T shirts I'll not be going anywhere...........except the floorI haven't heard that Radio interview Emma but from the picture it must have been recorded the Tuesday he was at the Chelsea garden show with cf. Not sure if they were filming but they were all dressed very smart so not sure what that was about. and I can't go without saying 2 words. Tumble Gutted. ![]()

Not sure Aliona gets much of a mention on here now, but she is returning for this years season of SCD
![]() ![]() I think most of us on here still like Aliona but obviously she's had more recent partners on the show and her own thread is more active about her. It's great to see she's remained on the show this year, I wasn't impressed with the way she was treated last year and think she handled it really well. Of course she then ended up touring with Brendan too so I think she came out ahead there. I'll be interested to see if she gets a contender this year

Onto the 13th of May with guest Jay Leno - on to talk about his talk show and his cars. We also discover Matt needs 7 hours sleep a night - so Countryfile travel and early starts probably make him grumpy. At least until they give him a bacon sandwich and coffee
![]() Matt was wearing a blue shirt (slightly too baggy sleeves), burgundy tie, very dark waistcoat (but I think it was maybe burgundy or aubergine), and jeans |

Thanks to the football taking up most of the night yesterday - reducing the number of shows airing - The One Show actually managed to be the 6th most watched programme of the day
(Only an 18% share but that wasn't bad for an hour long show facing Coronation Street!) |

Emma I really have to disagree with you on Countryfile. You seem to being rather dramatic about Matt's presence and participation in the show. Yes, for the previous couple of weeks Ellie did the introductory voiceover but that's hardly new or different. Ellie, Julia and Helen have all previously performed this role. In fact from 2010-2012 you could pretty much guarantee Matt and Julia would swap the role week by week - it's only fair as Matt is hardly the only presenter on the show and he's not the one who dedicates the most time to it. Depending on what else he's got on that week he may not have the time to do as much voiceover work and if he has to travel long distances during filming he won't be on screen as much.
Matt loves Countryfile - that much is obvious or he'd have moved on by now. It's his choice to only film one day on the show (he could quit The One Show or give up Saturdays to film more...) so he's never going to be the key presenter - he's at best one of the two lead presenters. And I think the show do a remarkable job of giving him as much time as they can - more on average than his filming availability should allow for. I think if you don't like watching Countryfile for the programme itself then you probably shouldn't watch live. You're inevitably going to be disappointed because Matt is never going to be on the screen most of the time - or even more than a quarter of the time. Though I am not a core fan of CF, I was always keen to watch Matt on CF live as I got hooked, addicted to it. I made sure I got home before 7pm and recorded it if I went out with family and friends on Sunday evenings. Not just that, I researched a lot and searched his CF related news and photos and posted here. I was that active, that addicted, everyone would have known. Not now. Not being dramatic. That addiction, that madness has just gone. No doubt, CF has millions of viewers but to my experience, not every viewer is a hard core viewer. I was quite surprised when I found out a colleague tuned in CF to watch 5 days CF weather forecast. I never thought about that. It was not the case whether I should watch CF live or not. It was the case that I brought some tricky and sensitive issues into light. Should I never, ever mention anything like this? IMHO everyone should feel free to air their views and it is nothing wrong with airing voices which should be heard and taken into consideration as long as they are not mean, nasty and bitchy in order to gain monetary or other means of rewards or making funs out of it. It could help with the review process in making changes for the better. You see, who else most consistently talked about the ideas of new SB ever since SB 2010 was released on DVD? Who were actually interested in it? No body other than fans of Matt, us! I can dig my every single post here but why bother. And I reckon voices re-SB have been heard somehow. Apologies in advance if I say something that stirs things up again. I am just saying. Quote:

If I were her I would see where my future lies. I see Ellie is a good replacement. And I think Julia and Matt are still great friends even she left CF. How do you know he continues hitting the gym? Just because of the evidence of his 6 packs under red t-shirt? Don’t happy to early Bee! He likes sitting on the sofa too. What Tumble? That gymnastics thingy you all talked about? I haven’t heard anything yet. Was he disqualified? |

Emma - my point is really simple. I just think there hasn't been any changes in Countryfile and Matt's time on air. I'm not saying you can't think what you want and I'm not sure it merited that long a post as I wasn't trying to "have a go" at you, just saying that if there was a show where I only liked 10 out of 60 minutes I'd record it and hit fast forward...
What I can say is that ever since 2010 there have been cases where Matt just gets a 30 second intro bit and then didn't appear for his first clip until after the the first bit of the investigation. For whatever reason it's just seeming more obvious to you at the moment. Bee's point may be relevant - Matt is doing different stuff on the show now so maybe it's just not so engaging for you and doesn't seem like he's around as much. I don't mind. Matt's getting to be the "elder statesman" on the show and I guess that's his choice. ![]() And re. Tumble - if you don't know already Matt isn't involved at all and Alex is presenting |

Evening all
Nearly forgot that it was a early start for cf tonight. A short clip of matt at Hadrians walls, all wrapped up. Looking lovely. The zip wire that Helen went on looks like fun. |

Hellaw, find myself with a couple of moments to spare
![]() Just a quick thank you to KK and Emma for the recent brilliant picspams. You both do a sterling job bringing these wonderful images to us week after week Gives us something to look forward to The red T-shirt pics were particularly welcome.Matt looked gorgeous tonight in his lemon shirt and I'm enjoying the Bend It Like Beckham challenge. Matt was performing great kicks last night but didn't hit the spot - don't think anyone will, to be quite honest. Mel C was a great guest tonight, an enthusiastic and lovely young lady. Wasn't quite sure about Lorde, but then her fanbase are teenagers, so I don't feel so bad! Matt and Al have had a mixture of guests recently (second or third time around for most of them ) Britain is running out of showbizzy people!Shame that Adam & Ellie are going to be the presenters of Secret Britain - but I suppose it was never really on the cards for Matt with his present commitments. We will continue to see him on CF and the One Show and then of course he has his Commonwealth Games Gymnastics commentating coming up. What a busy Matt! Al seems to be spreading her wings recently, seems to be raising her profile extensively and of course will be presenting Tumble, the new show for celebrities (are there any still out there, willing to look silly in front of millions!) Watching Welcome to Rio and the utter poverty, we don't know how lucky we are...... Well, just wanted to pop in to say thanks to our lovely posters! Sweet dreams to all bakerettes and readers on here! CCM xx |
