And lucky Julia having her hair brieftly stroked by Matt Honestly these fortunate ladies....do Julia and Alex realise what feelings of envy they evoke in the bakerette community Still they are both lovely young women who are 'spoken-for' and just treat him like a brother so we'll let them have their moment!!

Lovely OS tonight, a comfortable vibe with Ms Lipman, some serious talking about the state of the NHS of course with all the recent bad publicity, but then onto some interesting chat with Maureen. I noticed at the end of the prog, Alex said CE's name with a bit of a laugh. She was probably thinking: I hope it's not going to be another awkward OS with CE being rude to me as he was last week (I watched it - it was embarrassing ) Think it's time for Mr Evans to retire from the OS - I quite like him on the radio - I will say no more

Have had a really nice day today, first time in several weeks I will sleep soundly and dream of white vests and biceps.....and I hope you do as well! CCM :sleep: xx

Morning....waiting for the gas man to call so have popped on here It's sunny this morning but brrr Once the man has been, it's the food shopping next

Lovely picspam KK, despite the buttoned-up-ness of the shirt (if you know what I mean!) Mr B's face is a joy to behold.....

This one is my absolute favourite.....

And these are marvellous as well....

I feel brightened up already

Hope everyone has a fab Friday, no Matt until Sunday but think we've done enough thudding for the week, flat out after Try Hard!! Ta-ra for now.

Morning all.

Rating for last night's show 4.93m - so up on the usual 4.6m(ish) - I suspect the Bruce Willis interview got them some publicity. And other than a couple of people with issues on the main DS board the blame for that interview seems to be definitely skewing towards Bruce being the problem...

That's good. Nearly 5m!

I wouldn't put the blame for the Bruce interview on anyone myself. Just an unfortunate mismatch. In the UK at least though, it hasn't done Bruce's reputation any good, whereas Matt and Alex, or the show in general, haven't been harmed. Quite the contrary I'd say

I like these two, mainly because of a hint of unruliness in his hair in an otherwise very neat appearance

Thank you kk.

Hello - just a very quick post. I am very disappointed that the Countryfile website is updated for upcoming CF on Sunday and still did not update the credit list. I saw the credit since last week before it was updated. Matt is one the presenters we are going to see on that night. His name should have been in the list when more information was added together with pictures. It's such an act of negligence!

This is what we are going to see Matt on Sunday night.

matt cornish wrestling on cf , should be very good

Evening.....just a quick visit before bed You've picked some lovely pics SkyBlue from KK's picspam. Those dark blue colours look fabulous on Matt.

Didn't catch OS tonight, had had enough of Mr E from last week Hope Alex fared better this Friday!

Well it's not too long to wait for the Cornish Wrestling on Sunday but we're not holding our breath that it'll be anything like the Mongolian version as El Presidente will be togged up in many layers. I wonder who will come off worse, Mr Baker or Mr Wong? Answers on a postcard please.....

Just finishing viewing When Albums Ruled The World, what a trip down memory lane - marvellous stuff (well most of it!)

So it's CCM from me.....sleep tight everyone :sleep: xx

Moving on to the 16th of January on The One Show with guests Julian Fellowes (creator of Downton Abbey) and Nina Wadia (Eastenders actress). The show featured discussions about horse meat being found in burgers, cabbies having a better memory than ordinary people, inventions (an excuse for Matt to get on his bike), a link to the Winterwatch team, and they had a "name that stately home" quiz where Matt helped Nina with the answers via the power of mime (the prize was some scones with cream and he was probably hungry )

Matt was wearing his grey shirt with the strange blue elbow patches and tight jeans

Onto The One Show on the 17th of January with guests Donny and Marie Osmond. Marie turned up late - probably some last minute botox as there's clearly been a lot of work going on . But they were fun guests who indulged in the pun-tastic nature of the show

Matt was wearing a red jumper, navy shirt with little white fleur-de-lis pattern, and jeans

So we have Cornish Wrestling Maybe they will be wearing miners hats with a pasty in each hand.
The there is a visit to Tintagel - the legendary home of King Arthur. Perhaps an encounter with a bow and arrow or a swordfight will ensue (complete with woolly hat of course). Perhaps JB will be hus Guinevere

Cornish Wrestling: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornish_wrestling - there's even an association that's easy to find on google

Tintagel was never the home of King Arthur - it's only association in legend is possibly as the birthplace of Arthur. And Matt and Julia aren't presenting together tomorrow, it's Matt and James Wong (they're doing the wrestling - at least according to James on twitter - he read the script and figured he was going to lose badly )

Hello
If anyone interested; just a few pictures from a clip of Strictly It Takes Two – Katya and Aliona Bootcamp. Matt was in his white vast giggling embarrassingly while Aliona teaching him hip action for their Cha Cha. He didn’t show off his guns on strictly but he certainly has a pairs of gorgeous dancer arms.

I don’t mind Bruce Willis appearance as a guest on the OS. I can ignore his laidback character. If he was not on the show Mr B’s guns would not have been revealed in ‘Try Hard’ wallposter so I appreciated his appearance, (Action) Matt seemed a bit of fan boy.

I hope Cornish wrestling isn’t as bad as Mongolian wrestling he had ever experienced on Around the World in 80 Days. He won a Mongolian hat for BBC CiN auction but the price he had paid was a broken nose for this!

Next week CF is a clip show presented by Adam. We will have a clip of Matt and Ellie making Yorkshire pudding and we may also have bonus of Matt (with Julia’s little son Zephyr and her dad) in Julia clip. Looking good!

Evening all.

Bit of a cold damp day here with a little rain, but no snow as yet, might get some tomorrow



Not that keen on the colour of the shirt, but it does seem a bit tight with straining buttons,we could od somw Wow's but he had buttoned himself up with a t-shirt underneath. Nice pics. thanks kk

Morning. What do you mean, if anyone's interested? Amazing photos Emma, thank you so much. Where do you find them!

Just a flying visit to say a huge THANK YOU to Emma from me and all the girls on Twitter who don't have DS accounts ... for all your pics. Especially those vest ones... Made me go all peculiar when I opened KK's link to them last night. He has amazing skin. (and amazing everything else) Very jealous!

Afternoon. Not my favourite look here (odd colour combination) but after two days abstinence everything looks wonderful.

Like the gapping on this one
http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...07at212002.png

And this expression
http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...07at212132.png

And this is a particularly nice view of knee, and whole leg in fact
http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...07at212356.png

Thanks as always to kk for your hard work

I like this shirt. If only it didn't have the elbow patches. And I've decided I definitely prefer Matt in jeans to any other trousers - apart perhaps from the chinos.

This one is nice - and you can't see the patches
http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...09at155249.png

I like his expression here, so never mind the patch

My favourite profile again

This is a bit different I think - maybe because of the background

And this is a nice one of the shirt - or rather the fit of the shirt
http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...09at161116.png

Thank you kk.

On the 20th of January Countryfile came from Exmoor where Matt went on the trail of Lorna Doone and discovered how a spaniel felt Looking at the episode it seems that this was filmed during the same trip as the West Somerset Railway episode pre-Christmas. It did seem a little close in terms of time to be visiting the same area again and Matt was in pretty much the same outfit.

Countryfile doing their bit to help the BBC with cost savings there . This will be the last picspam until next Saturday as I'm overseas for a couple of days, then won't have time on Thursday or Friday either…

Aaaaahhhhhgggggg!!

Have a good time kk. Yes I know it's mostly work but have a good time anyway. Get's you out of the office

Evening

A completely mad cf, a wrapped up matt went paddling in a waterfall, played with a huge water hose and took a few layers of for cornish wrestling, he kept his one show bobble hat on for the wrestling fabulous stuff.

Very strange the bit with julia on the farm with the cow dug.

Have a good time out of the office kk, hope everything goes well.

Morning! Decided not to venture out for the time being as it's a bit snowy Think there'll be a thaw later though, here's hoping! After an extremely hectic weekend, I'm quite happy to be snowbound to be quite honest but hope to get to see Mum this afternoon.

Well what a riproaring CF it turned out to be Think everything that needs to be said has been said about the Cornish wrestling complete with bobble-hat, the interesting (!) outfit and the throwing of Mr Wong Can't wait to see it again!!

Thanks to Emma for the lovely memories of vesty Matt and to KK for ploughing through so many One Shows to bring us loads and loads of luscious picspams By the way, all the best to you over the next few days KK, you've left us with lots of fabulous piccies to ponder and wonder over

So what to choose, there are so many delightful phawtaws! The lighting is so much more flattering than the usual bluey tinge...

http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...09at163824.png

Love the fact that the studio design peeps actually took the trouble to create a snowy scene at the windows!!...

http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...09at163921.png

And this is very dreamy...

http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...09at164706.png

Still got some more picspams to trawl through yet - there'll be some favourites to pick amongst them To be truthful, I love them all!

Off to do the chores Hope everyone has a great Monday whatever the weather is doing in your neck of the woods...

Morning all . Last night's Countryfile was the 2nd most watched programme of the day with 6.93m (26%) viewers. The only programme ahead was "Call the Midwife" as it again beat DOI (by over 0.2m viewers).

I'm sure the wrestling was popular . Loved the way Matt managed to get back up off the mat after being flipped by just rolling backwards to his feet without having to use his hands - he's still got that gymnastic ability

I may not be able to post much over the next couple of days - if anyone wants to check the ratings these are good places to look at around 11am or so:

http://www.attentional.com/screenwatch/ - will have the rating if The One Show was the most watched "factual entertainment programme of the day
http://www.itvmedia.co.uk/highlights/ratings - will have the rating and percentage share if the show is in the top 10 watched for the day

Chris Addison on tonight. As I recall he was quite funny last time he was on. Should be good.

CountryFile is well and truly established as one of Britain's favourite shows I think. Perfect Sunday night viewing. Great rating again
