On the 24th of June the guests on The One Show were the lead cast of the new “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” musical (Robert Lindsay, Rufus Hound, and Samantha Bond).

Matt was wearing a pink shirt (with white details) and jeans. Note - this is the same shirt worn last Thursday with the massive gaping “issues” - it definitely looks better with that extra button undone

A another sunny day up in Glasgow and matt ditched the jacket. Looking good but could've undone that top button

They had a bit of trouble with their sound cutting out, Clare was a good guest would have been happier without lulu

Afternoon
Looks like the One Show will go live a warmup pre-Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony; I reckon Wednesday an hour show and then hand down to Huw Edwards and Hazel Irvine. I am looking forward to it. I don’t know yet which games I’d like to watch other than the Artistic Gymnastics which isn’t on until next Monday. I’d watch Rhythmic gymnastics cos I am off this week and might try triathlon and shooting if I can spare time.

For your information, Sport on the Box website is a place you can check out for the updates. They did a great job during Olympics London 2012. Now the Commonwealth Games schedules are available on their site and I can see Matt in the list of presenters as well as the commentators there.
Matt as part of the presenting team/host
Matt as the commentator on the Artistic Gymnastics

Glasgow 2014: Meet the BBC Sport on-air team
http://sport-onthebox.com/2014/07/16...t-on-air-team/
Source: http://sport-onthebox.com/2014/07/16...ve-on-the-bbc/

I noted that both BBC and Sport on the Box have used the same old air-brushed profile photo of him from London 2012.
Matt on BBC Glasgow 2014 website:
Matt's profile
The BBC Schedule

London 2012: Trip down memory lane:
Matt’s profile pic
Live presentation from key venues
Lunchtime presentation

They do need take a new photograph of him w/o overly airbrushed photoshopping.

Saw some men saying lack of male presenters in 2014 and even Mr B is preferable!

This is the day to day schedules on BBC website by Ollie Williams which is quite useful so worth to visit and check:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/commonw...games/28256660

Just to mention that Matt has become as the BBC Sport’s presenter/host and commentator not since 2008 but since 2005. I guess some would not know when he has started as a broadcaster, as part of the BBC Sport and when his commentating debut was on the artistic gymnastics unless they are the fans of the sport itself. I, on the other hand, have learnt that his commentary debut was in 2005 Artistic Gymnastics:
World Championships held in Sydney according to Blue Peter director Alex Leger’s Behind the Badge.
Pic credit and thanks to Sarah

In 2006, he was in the commentary box alongside Mitch and Christine at the Glasgow Grand Prix.
Source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tv_a...nd/6124458.stm

2007 and onwards you can easily find their commentary clips on youtube.

I could create a clip of him Mr B: 10 years on the BBC Sport commentary box

next year but need some pics or vid taken in 2006. He used to talk about how he became the British Squad's junior gymnast and why he had to give up the sport he loves (because people kept asking him). But no one has asked him just yet when his commentary debut was and how long he has been there. I guess he would have a lot to talk about it and share his experiences if he is being interviewed.

Btw, I am soooooo delight to know that he would never ever want to leave the gymnastics coverage (on BBC Sport) and would not stop doing it cos’ it is a big part of him. Thanks to the B’ette’s for the little interview videos captured at the Cotswolds Show.

On the other notes, having watched back SB DVD disc 1 last night could not stop me wondering what might impact on new SB in the term of scope if Scotland got independent. I haven’t watched back disc 2 yet but I do remember in the last leg of SB Matt jumping on the fence of Scottish border and headed to those areas in Scotland. Not to mention about Chief Correspondence interviewing the first Scottish PM about the referendum on the Newsnight. Just wondering what the future of the British Isles hold what the impacts would be, never know what would happen after next 2 months.

From the main show (Louis Smith's mum sent a photo of her and Louis as a little lad at the end. Alex mentioned Matt will be commentating and Matt said it is on Monday so no Matt until Monday. Not even old CF episodes on yesterday channel. Never mind...still got a lot of Matt shows to catch up. )

I sure matt would love to chat about his commentary on the gymnastic over the years and only problem would be keeping him on topic,

Saw Ken Bruce on BBC Breakfast this morning and they showed this photo of Matt and Alex with BBC R2 hosts.
http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m...akfast-003.jpg
Lovely photo on telly and I noted that each of them got the BBC passes but Matt has an extra one which is believed to be BBC Sport pass for Glasgow 2014. He might have been checking in SSE Hydro, I reckon.

It’s the 25th of June on The One Show and the winner of the Longitude Prize was announced by Professor Alice Roberts. The other guest was Ross Kemp (it was only a 30 minute show even though it was a Wednesday)

Matt was wearing a blue shirt and pale grey trousers - both a bit wrinkled by the warm weather

It was a lovely interview, he had thought a lot about his fantasy 24hours and what he said about meg

so sad

Matt was wearing his lovely Ted Baker polo-style jumper in burgundy (which show off his shoulders and arms fabulously ) with jeans.

Hello
The wait is nearly over!

And would you believe that 2 years ago today we saw Matt presenting and commentating on the artistic gymnastics at the Olympics London 2012?! What a coincidence!

So I flipped back my old posts in 2012 and managed to dig out my posts 1888, 1903 and 1942 . Information is still there and the pics too.

Here, some pictures of Matt’s taking us trip down memory lane.

(Actually they are in hundreds!)

bad news back to work tomorrow!

Won’t be able to watch live apart from Wednesday evening program. Hope iplayer is kind enough to catch the programs I like to watch.

The abstracts from an interesting article on the BBC gymnastics commentators during the Olympics
“This video does not have enough of the BBC commentary to prove the point, but Matt Baker and the rest of the BBC gymnastics commentators provide excellent commentary, provide real information for both gymnastics experts and novices and are able to keep up a non-intrusive, but running commentary.”

"The BBC commentators manage to focus on the outstanding aspects of every performance, while still educating the audience to major errors. The result is that BBC gymnastics broadcasts celebrate the sport, uplift the image of the sport and show their true appreciation of the talent, skill and experience that is being displayed. With the US commentators, it the domination of negative comments makes it more difficult for fans to fully appreciate our great sport."

Afternoon

Enjoying the British girls gymnastics and of course the lovely matt commentating. Nice glimpse of matt chatting to beth in a light pink shirt, looks like there is some unbuttonage

remembered to watch the live steaming during the lunch hour at work, saw most of the brit men doing their final 3 apparatus was a bit odd watching with no sound.

Thank you Emma for all of these great phawtaws from the great year of 2012.

as that was the day I went to the Olympic Park with my family. I was on my way to the food marquees, turned round, and there was Matt sitting on a buggy, being transported from the studio to another part of the Park! What a surprise

Been enthralled by the gymnastics yesterday and today, Matt's commentary really complements the great action we've seen, and the couple of interviews he conducted were a pleasure - he was looking fab in his pink shirt

Thanks again to you Emma for these past delights and your current pics, and to KK for all the recent CF & OS picspams. We're very indebted to you both for all your hard work, please take a bow

Pictures from Day 5 Men’s and Women’s Team Finals Medal Ceremony live coverage (no pic of Matt but it was one of the best things ever while watching the ceremony and listening to Matt's dulcet tones. Just perfect!

as that was the day I went to the Olympic Park with my family. I was on my way to the food marquees, turned round, and there was Matt sitting on a buggy, being transported from the studio to another part of the Park! What a surprise

Been enthralled by the gymnastics yesterday and today, Matt's commentary really complements the great action we've seen, and the couple of interviews he conducted were a pleasure - he was looking fab in his pink shirt

Thanks again to you Emma for these past delights and your current pics, and to KK for all the recent CF & OS picspams. We're very indebted to you both for all your hard work, please take a bow ”

I remember that Jan. You lucky Bakerette!

Evening

Fab result for the girls last night gold, silver and bronze, nail biting right up to the end. And more medals for the home nations today.

Great little chats we've get with matt and beth, must be hot in the hydro as matt looks like he's glowing a little as we've getting unbuttonage and rolled up sleeves today and yesterday.

Lovely pics emma of the men and women getting their team gold medals

Matt on this Sunday CF in Cornwall

I see Anita is on this week episode in the absence of busy girl Ellie. And CF website has appeared to be promoting her. Can't help thinking why Matt’s work colleagues, the likes of Alex, Helen and Anita are following in his footsteps, You know what I mean?. Anyway, I have a lot catch up Matt on the gymnastics coverage... just managed catching up most of the medal ceremonies and I am loving it! Thankfully no the OS until 11 August so got a week left to catch up. I haven’t even checked on iplayer which channel he has been on. Looks like he has been cross-channel broadcasting, Next time he would do cross-country skiing on CF for the second time!

BBC Breakfast is not available on iplayer so I quick captured a glimpse of him on my camcorder while it was on air - around 7 and then again around 8. Sorry about the quality. The assessments on the British sports come from Matt, Mark Forster, Steve Cram, Lord Coe and Chris Boardman. VT is the same but 7am one has their titles on.
http://youtu.be/g6DdcadC8kI

Btw, does anyone think Matt’s coughing while commentating? Somebody was coughing occasionally and I wonder was it Matt cos his voice was a bit husky on the OS after the Cotswolds Show, even last week CF voiceover was different from his voice from the actual films of that episode.”

Thanks for the pics emma. I saw the bbc vt at lunchtime, heard that familar voice coming from the telly and there he was

a very nice surprise viewing looking lovely.

Matt sounded alright to me, but i haven't seem as much gymnastic as I would have liked to with it keeping on changing channels and being on live streamimg, but after 5 full days of chatting no stop he must a little husky
