Lovely photo of Matt on CF in Davon, looking forward to see him on the back of the horse on Sunday. http://www.theexeterdaily.co.uk/site...ountryfile.png Source: http://www.theexeterdaily.co.uk/news...lores-dartmoor Photos from the BBC website http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/512xn/p026ytj5.jpg http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/512xn/p026xcgs.jpg I have rediscovered an old photo of Matt and Zara Phillips at the Mark Davies Injured Riders Charity Launch back in 2009 http://www.burghley-horse.co.uk/imag...kh0309_lrg.jpg Only then Matt revealed the injuries he got when he was show-jumping for Sport Relief Only Fools on Horses. Here, the abstracts from the article: “Anniversary Ambassadors, including BBC Country File’s Matt Baker, Sky Sports Presenter, Alex Quinn and ‘King of the Jungle’, Christopher Biggins will all be helping to spread the word. Commented Matt Baker: “Thinking back to the moment I dislocated my shoulder and cracked two ribs in the run up to Only Fools on Horses, or the taste of the Australian outback’s dirt as my horse literally left me for dust I do sometimes wonder what it is that keeps me riding. But I’m still here and I’m still throwing myself headlong into any equestrian experience on offer. For all the money that is spent on our sport, a pound is not much for the peace of mind that the Mark Davies Injured Riders Fund will be there for you, should you need them.” Source: http://www.burghley-horse.co.uk/news/story.asp?NID=257 The header of the website ‘The Land Rover Burghley Horse Trial 3 – 6 September 2015’ sounds exciting. I am intrigued. By the way, DM Online described Matt as a friend of Zara. Not wrong though and it's a lovely photo of Matt tucking in but the captions really made me chuckled. ![]() ![]() ![]() http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...BINSON_PHO.jpg http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...se-Trials.html A nice group photo of Matt and Ellie with the Royal Navy (EOC) team https://insidedio.blog.gov.uk/wp-con...a-1024x682.jpg Source: https://insidedio.blog.gov.uk/author...xander-fuller/ Quote:

![]() Matt looked absolutely fabulous tonight, looking great in his waistcoat and very very nice unbuttonage on the shirt, funny start to the show with them both trying to have a agreement in which alex ended up laughing while doing it ![]() Thud and double thud, Fabulous pics Emma. Most certainly looking gorgeoushttp://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m...180914-009.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m...180914-016.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m...180914-017.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m...180914-022.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m...180914-024.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m...180914-029.jpg http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m...180914-030.jpg He does like his big boy toys and anything with a horn on it that can be pushed, pulled or rung ![]()

Emma - and of course, that 2009 interview with Matt about horses was before it got even worse and he fractured some vertebrae on Countryfile. We know that still results in him needing back support some time - especially in winter as he's said in interviews it's a problem for him when his back gets cold. It's just amazing he made it through Strictly OK! Though having a physio for a wife must help
![]() Regarding Burghley 2015 - that's just the annual horse trials (three-day eventing). Happens same time every year (it's the one he attended this year to judge picnics) |

Matt’s not on tonight OS!
![]() I thought he looked better last night. Now worries me a bit. Wonder would he be filming CF tomorrow. I hope he is well whatsoever.A Matt-less OS means no instant screencaps of Matt tonight but as many strictly fans seemed getting excited at this time of year so I go back to strictly picspam from what I’ve left. And it’s time for Viennese Waltz! ![]() http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...eWaltz-016.jpg http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...eWaltz-122.jpg Quote:
There was a competition between the judges going on too and it was Craig’s turn to be very picky; oh well, he was the one mostly maintained it throughout the series but this level of credibility and consistency have gone missing recently.

Hi guys,
Just popping in to say that although I'm looking forward to Strictly starting, I have never felt so strongly about a pair since Team Mattiona days... tho Chelsee/Pasha and Natalie/Artem have come closer than I thought anyone would ![]() Matt was such a fantastic dancer, as well as being great fun, and Aliona was brilliant with him. I still think he was under-appreciated as a dancer - he was so strong in both ballroom and Latin, which is seriously rare for the men! Happy memories, anyway, and thank goodness for YouTube for an occasional rewatch of their dances ![]() Enjoy the series (& happy screen-capping, very industrious...) With love from one of the Bakerettes

With love from one of the Bakerettes ![]() Good to see you here. In my eyes, Matt and Aliona are the most magical pair of strictly. They've gone strength to strength. They brought us not just great entertainment values and funs but the variety and diversity of the dances. Matt didn't miss a dance considering their AS was a waltz-based contemporary. There's always uniqueness in each of their dance routines which I love. Matt's a fabulous dancer and Aliona's a brilliant teacher.

![]() A lovely wasitcoated matt tonight, looking very smart and gawgus. a happy bunny, Great quiz of have I got strictly news for you Got matt's missing word, but not alex's. Nice strictly chat about their time doing strictly and fri and sat coming show. A good show with Paul, Claudia is funny and nuts, tess was ok, bit oh dear with the caption of russell in the cannon as paul was avoiding the one she did ![]() We could have a go on strictly now with a people show, bet they will get thousands of people trying to get on the show. ![]() ![]() ![]() Craig said, “His top line is gorgeous… he got lovely feet… he got lovely legs… he got lovely lines… everything is lovely about him. He does actually do a few toe leads rather than the heel leads that's the technical thing but it is gorgeous to watch, isn't it?.” Here is Matt and Aliona’s week 2 training combined clip. I forgot to add the bit ‘top line is gorgeous’. Never mind. ![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUfxDYxYiYY |

Gymnastics World Championships on coverage on BBC
Venue: Guangxi Gymnasium, Nanning, China. Dates: 3-12 October We would only get to see the finals but I am hoping Matt would go to Nanjing, China for the coverage of finals like he went to Japan in 2011. Coverage on BBC BBC Two 15:00-17:15 from 7 to 10 October 2014 BBC One 14:20-15:50 on 11 October 2014 BBC Two 16:00-17:30 12 October 2014 Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/gymnastics/29214136 Photo of Matt, Bob and Helen…Bob is a big lad now, very cuddly too and he seems to be a bit possessive than Annie. http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/512xn/p027dz90.jpg I do look forward to see CF version of OMAHD but have no over excitement at the moment cos I don’t what to get very disappointed if the full coverage is not available on the red button. Didn’t see mentioning of Matt’s commentating on it either. However, I tend to think the website has not fully updated yet and hope that more information will be available by Saturday. If it has done already I would think there is no more coverage apart highlights on CF which would make me . OK, I shell wait and see. Say no more.

Catching back up again on picspams! It’s the 19th of September and the guest on The One Show was Lenny Henry (who sadly seems to get a bit more annoying every time he’s on the show…). At least the little leopard gecko was adorable

Thursday the 21st of September and the guest on The One Show was Peter Capaldi to promote his debut that weekend in Doctor Who.

Matt was wearing a nice teal blue jumper with matching spotted shirt, his trousers were more blue-toned chinos. Alex’s interview with Hello? Are you not kidding me, are you? Now that is what I would shout out ‘Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!’ How would he manage to squeeze this in his forever-busy-work-schedules!

Can't remember their guests names but the actress is from BBC new show 'Our Girl'. That's I'd called 'winner hairdo', not 'winners, winners, chicken dinner' though!

Evening All ![]() Wasn't strictly so much better with tess and Claudia, no pointless joking while tess introduced the next couple just straight on to them, some good dances, and some ok and not so good. Tonights just about to start ![]() Quote:
Screencaps from BBC CiN 2014 promotion…Matt’s calling everybody to join Team Fruit Cake, bake it, sell it and raise money as much as you can. Love his cheeky grins in the promotional photoshoot, very funny though…he looks fab in his orange pinny (the background I think is the OS studio), he’s promoting and appealing very, very well!

20th of September and the guest on The One Show is “Mad Men” star Jon Hamm. And they did raise the serious topic of the Ferguson situation (as Jon is from St Louis in Missouri where the unarmed teenager was shot and killed by a police officer causing civil unrest). Tough topic, but pleased they were prepared to talk about it.
Matt was wearing a blue-grey shirt (nicely unbuttoned) and navy trousers. It was very nice unbuttonage great picshttp://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...17at212851.png http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...17at212955.png http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...17at214050.png http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...17at214302.png Quote:

Matt is of course commentating on One Man and His Dog - otherwise there's nothing for him to do on tomorrow's Countryfile! The show is entirely him doing the trials and Helen doing some link pieces by the look of it. As for additional red button coverage - we'll just see - but it wouldn't surprise me if there wasn't any (as honestly it's not a big audience draw and the BBC do have budget issues) Countryfile magazine have also posted Matt's tips on dog training - http://www.countryfile.com/countryfi...-training-tips. It doesn't surprise me that Bob is a lot more possessive than Annie as that was one of Matt's concerns about getting a replacement sheepdog - they are one-person dogs so he was concerned about having a new dog around the children (he said that in a previous article) |
