As The One Show headed off for the summer we were left with Countryfile to tide us over for a bit - there were still 2 July episodes to go before Matt-deprivation kicked in for most of August

On the 19th of July Countryfile came from pretty close to home for Matt being from Northumberland. It was a shorter episode (50 minutes) but still had 3 Matt clips

By the way PBS has the host (the US version of Matt) encountering that giant octopus but his clip was vastly edited. You can find the link of clip posted yesterday on PBS twitter. They gonna go live today.

Al: Looking forward the show tonight. I just hope he does let Steve Backshall going back into the water. We love Steve but Matt we need you back here as well obviously.

Matt on Big Blue Live Episode 2…it’s wonderful to watch. Sea otters are adorable…many divers dive on wildlife programs but diving alongside sea lions live must be quite envious for the divers. Great job everything went well with underwater live filming.

Matt: Right, who you gonna introduce me to here?

Matt on the last program of Big Blue Live tonight…spotting a blue whale in a real time is unbelievable! And they have made it! Well done team! To Steve’s excitement he nearly knocked Doris and he got the best seat in the house that everyone would envy. Loving the whole program nicely put every angle together. A bit sad though as it is finished now. Good to see Matt's out on a boat live twice.

Matt on tonight’s the One Show…in a white shirt, patterned little grey fishes on it and SNW

and sleeves rolled up

…looking tanned and thuddily gorgeous… Enjoy the views before the layers are underway

… lovely to have him back on the sofa but I miss him and Big Blue Live. He said he misses cute otter pup and that pacific giant octopus and the moment ocean giant blue whale appeared on the program live. But did not say he misses Makana the albatross, that’s merciless!

He loves his backdrop the balcony of Monterey Aquarium as well and the sunny weather in California. I love Alex’s Little Blue Live fish tank on the One Show.

I saw Big Blue Live on PoV this evening. Good to know UK viewers loved it. They want to see more of it and seem to have had BBL withdrawal symptoms. Can’t blame them!

It’s a brilliant live program featuring a cast of the unpredictable wildlife sea animals. Having chances to see live actions in the real time is something special. And we can only see this when a program is broadcasted live.

We got a Mattfree CF today but next week CF synopsis on the website is interesting!

Matt Baker launches the countdown to the first ever Countryfile Ramble for Children in Need. For one weekend, Countryfile will encourage the whole country to ramble and raise money for some of Britain's most vulnerable young people. Matt and his fellow presenters will lead the way on rambles of their own, which the public will have the chance to join.

He got Team Rickshaw 2015 to cycle along, would he? £2.7m was being raised for CiN last year! Wonder how he would manage his time.

I see Matt and Ellie were filming CF version One Man and His Dog last Friday cos found a pic Ellie posted on her twitter.

And I then spotted 2 photos of her and a cut-out Matt on CF summer special at the Kent County Show. Those on twitter might have seen these. I didn’t know Ms Harrison is that cheeky!

She and a cut-out of herself (looks like twins!)

On other notes - just noted on this morning that TV version of DH Lawrence's classic Lady Chatterley's Lover is on BBC One today. I won’t take any notices if Matt didn’t follow the footsteps of DH Lawrence on Countryfile.

Matt was in another patterned shirt and teal blue trousers. This was a better look though

It was a shorter episode (50 minutes) but still had 3 Matt clips Matt headed to the coast near Bamburgh (went to sea from Seahouses) and went diving with a difference (he was sketching underwater!).

I saw Big Blue Live on PoV this evening. Good to know UK viewers loved it. They want to see more of it and seem to have had BBL withdrawal symptoms. Can’t blame them! It’s a brilliant live program featuring a cast of the unpredictable wildlife sea animals. Having chances to see live actions in the real time is something special. And we can only see this when a program is broadcasted live.

We got a Mattfree CF today but next week CF synopsis on the website is interesting!
Matt Baker launches the countdown to the first ever Countryfile Ramble for Children in Need. For one weekend, Countryfile will encourage the whole country to ramble and raise money for some of Britain's most vulnerable young people. Matt and his fellow presenters will lead the way on rambles of their own, which the public will have the chance to join.

He got Team Rickshaw 2015 to cycle along, would he? £2.7m was being raised for CiN last year! Wonder how he would manage his time.

I see Matt and Ellie were filming CF version One Man and His Dog last Friday cos found a pic Ellie posted on her twitter.

It is from 23 October (not September

) and yes I am hoping we got Mattage/Mattfeast as we had in Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games.

It’s actually qualification round for Rio 2016. Must be nerve-wracking for those gymnasts, hoping they would be qualified for the Olympics next year.
