Double doses of Matt today on Countryfile Harvest episode at 6pm and Big Blue Live final episode at 7pm compensating us for 4 Mattless the OS. There may be some pasta making on CF, hope he would save some for Ellie and John. I guess Matt got to fly back today after the show or maybe tomorrow to be back on the green sofa on Tuesday and of course CF filming on Friday.
2 clips of Big Blue Live Episode 3 are up on both BBL FB and BBL website

A nice little clip of Matt saying thank you to their helicopter team Aron (the captain) and Mark (cameraperson) on behalf of viewers at home for capturing the remarkable live footage for us. Their brief chat brought some insights to ‘filming and broadcasting live actions simultaneously’ and ‘how do modern technologies help'. Mark said Aron has great visibility and the difficulty is not to have the blank screens on live actions and sometimes mother-nature doesn’t co-operate but HD camera systems – gyrostabilizer allows them to capture really stable shorts from long distance. How cool is that?
And good luck to Big Blue Live team!

In this clip, Matt’s going through a few possible introductions before he met Makana the albatross. He’s so hilarious, made me LOL! Got to love him! Hope Makana can make an appearance with Matt on the main show today. She is cute! She might want to tango, rumba, paso, foxtrot or waltz with the fabulous Mr Baker.
I see clip of Matt and a giant pacific octopus seemed to be a hit on youtube and FB

I think Matt should/would write Big Blue Live- behind the scenes on Countryfile Magazine as he has encountered with many marine life at the Monterey Bay and some of his personal experiences are remarkable. Hope he brought his camera and captured the shots that we can't see on live TV and tell us the stories behind.

I didn't record any of the bbl uk as I didn't think Matt would be on them, there is a short clip of Makana running straight over to matt as soon as she saw him on fb's bbl page 
Great pics emma

I have already uploaded Matt and Makana clip on utube but she might be on the main show today so let's see if it does.
