Evening ![]() A good tos with chris and the cookie monster and some very careful camera work Matt looking good in his blue jumper, he needed it tonight it has got chillyQuote:
Matt and 15 year old inspirational girl Lavana (and a few lucky Countryfile viewers on tonight's Countryfile ramble for BBC Children in Need) at 6.45pm
https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/1920xn/p04f6dsb.jpg I am wondering who is going to do Countyfile calendar link tonight. Maybe JC I reckon. Matt has been doing the links and found the calendar in unusual places. Love his little cheeky grins! ![]() Can’t believe the OS rickshaw challenge will be set off on next Friday. OS doesn’t release all photoshoots they have done tho. Should be released before early this week. ![]() Matt, Alex and toy Pudsey at 2012 Children in Need Appeal Night (Matt’s looking stubbly) )https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/1...b/p0119llb.jpg https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/1...b/p0119lgr.jpg Source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0119hsn/p0119llb Last night, I bumped into news about Aliona’s expecting a baby with her husband. Congratulation to both! Another happy parents-yet-to-be http://tv.bt.com/tv/strictly-2016/st...11364110210039 I wasn’t curious about her personal life tho. I was actually looking for Mattiona’s gorgeous American Smooth photos as I got a flashback on their fabulous AS yesterday morning when I heard Emperor State of Mind was playing at the local Wilko branch. Gosh! They look so young and very cute in those photos! ![]() On other notes - in the last few years, I saw Julia, Ellie and Helen co-presenting Countryfile while they were pregnant. Alex is going to be on her maternal leave soon. We have seen Angelica Bell as mum-to-be on the OS. Now Aliona has shared her baby news. My prediction on those closely work with Matt, Beth could be the next one to start a family if she got married to her faïence next year. ![]() oh, stubbly, nice ![]() https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/1...b/p0119llb.jpg Great news from Aliona and Vincent. It always makes me smile when I unexpectedly hear a Matt and Aliona dance song when out and about. |

Dear me! I had a day off and all I heard the whole day on radio and telly was US Electi0n 2016. And even the OS to cover it. Went to see GP in the morning and heard the live broadcast on BBC Radio Derby. Got to put up with Mr T’s sort of buttery/sugary/creamy/chocolaty speech. As if I heard from a different person. But in a minute later they were saying the One Show rickshaw challenge for BBC Children in need is to set off on 11 November and interviewing a member of Team Rickshaw 2016, Andy which was rather nice.![]() So Matt is off to Scotland tomorrow to join the team. Weather is getting cold but hopefully to stay dry on Friday. I have checked the details routes on PudseyViewranger and noticed that the rickshaw is going to Matt’s home turf Easington. On the last day they will be cycling around the Buckingham Palace before the finishing line.![]() This week the One Show in photos The One Show 7 November 2016 – Matt, Alex, Chris Tarrant and Sesame Street's Cookie Monster I watched Sesame Street when I was a kid and loved Cookie Monster. The One Show 08 November 2016 – Matt, Alex and Gregg Wallace Countryfile Ramble for Children in Need was longer than the normal episode. Great to see the inspirational and courageous youngster and the great supporters/fundraisers rambling for great cause in the beautiful landscapes in one episode. Really heart-warming to see and incredible effort from Lavana completing this ramble. It must be very tough for her as a double amputee. She got the support from her sporting hero Eliie. Matt and Julia’s Secret Britain is repeating on BBC Two on Saturday mornings at 9.45am. I always missed it on telly as is the time I go out for shopping. Now catching up Secret Britain Leg 2 - The Hidden Heart on iplayer. Nice to recap the clip of Matt hanging on the cliffs of South Pembrokeshire. He got some bruises on his forearms clinging on the cliffs and got sunburnt on his face and back of the neck! He climbed back in a secret way of his own cos he couldn’t manage to climb back the way his instructor Libby Peters did. Secret Britain Leg 2 – True North is on BBC Two at 9.45am next Saturday http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00tmkp4 If I remember correctly in Secret Britain Leg 3, Matt meets the shepherdess Alison who guides him to Howgill Fells. Mr B said, ‘Oh, man I cannot stop smiling!’ By the way, I managed to catch up Friday ITT. They played strictly pointless; the first round question was strictly champions. Zoe revealed later that a pointless answer was series 8 winner Kara and is only a pointless answer. Unbelievable! None of 50 panellists knew her winning! Quote:

6 years ago today, Matt embarked the One Show rickshaw challenge in the aid of BBC Children in Need. At that time no one thought Matt would have passed over the rickshaw challenge to the teams of inspirational youngsters supported by the charities and projects aided by Children in Need Now the One Show rickshaw has become the annual fundraising for CiN.
They cycled 62 miles today and are behind the schedule this evening so couldn’t manage to cross the Day 1 finishing line during the OS on live but hopefully there are supporters out there at the millennium bridge to welcome the team rickshaw and give them much needed support. Last night on the OS we saw Andy did a great inspirational speech. Looks like Elbony to give the speech strictly CiN special, Len got a hug from Pudsey. The Best of Strictly Come Dancing: Len’s Grand Finale BBC DVD to be released. His 12 years on strictly and Al said not just one but two of the Baker’s dances there. It was fabulous to see a glimpse of Mattiona’s samba at the Blackpool, the climatic end with the impeccable timing triple backflips and knee-slide, a kiss from Aliona and Matt picked her up. Very sweet! The thing is Matt didn’t see it as he was peddling with the team rickshaw. Caroline said Matt’s dancing is a new side of him. Al said Matt likes to do backflips.![]() Nice to recap Al and James’s Tango at the Wembley as well.![]() Matt, Alex and Ross Photo of Matt and Team Rickshaw 2016 at Jedburgh Abbey last night http://www.bordertelegraph.com/resou...mages/5694034/ Mini clip of team rickshaw this morning https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_c...&v=6PLq0joiv0o Source: http://www.bordertelegraph.com/news/..._In_Need_ride/ On fb https://www.facebook.com/borderteleg...type=3&theater News article on Scot Borders website https://www.scotborders.gov.uk/news/...draising_drive |

I managed to watch Secret Britain Leg 3 – True North on BBC Two this morning cos I stayed in as it was raining. I watched it when it was first aired and at that time I didn’t know Matt can dance fabulously in both ballroom and latin. He wouldn't be called fabulous Baker boy for nothing
![]() The One show Rickshaw Challenge video clips Matt and Team Rickshaw at Jedburgh Abbey on 10 November 2016 plus Andy’s inspirational speech https://youtu.be/gRy7v7iSfS0 Day One Rickshaw Challenge 11 November 2016 plus young rider Olivia talks to Matt https://youtu.be/rO9aXFJ81fI A glimpse clip of Mattions’ samba at the Blackpool Ballroom Tower as Len is promoting The Best of Strictly Come Dancing: Len’s Finale BBC DVD as part of 12 years on strictly as a head judge. It was a pleasant surprise. As Al said there are two of the Baker’s dances on DVD. She jokes she has prepared Alex Best Bits DVD and it would be out this time next years. Cheeky Al! ![]() https://youtu.be/KZ9asYpnQAw Matt on BBC Radio 4 Saturday Live, sharing two tracks that he inherited by his dad. One of which is Dire Straits’ Brother in Arms and the other is Chitty Chitty Bang Bang by Sherman Brothers that he would love to pass over to his children. https://youtu.be/4a65ZY7fdHQ This clip is from http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b081l8fk Presenter Matt Baker is currently taking part in the One Show Rickshaw Challenge in aid of BBC Children in Need. He shares his Inheritance Tracks. He has chosen Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang by the Sherman brothers Probably this is very intriguing radio clip of Matt I have ever listened to! Matt says he started playing guitar about age 7 as his dad taught his how to play. It was very sweet of him saying he bought Dire Straits concert tickets for his dad with the saving from delivering milk in the mornings as a young lad. He also bought an electric guitar for his dad soon he became a Blue Peter presenter. He reveals his children are learning music at school. Molly has started learning violin which she is quite good at and Luke is playing guitar. He has variety of musical instruments at home cos he has bought all sort of musical instruments when he travelled all over the world as a Blue Peter presenter. What a musical instruments geek! And they always play music at home so Nicola always tells him off to shut up. Poor Nicola! Nutty boy was giggling when he said that.

I am slightly behind catching up Matt and Team Rickshaw on the One Show and viewing photos and massages posted on Instagram. Lots of love and supports out there for Matt and the young rickshaw riders. They are awesome! How can you not move? Clearly Matt and Al are greatly touched and I am too. Good to see VT of the rickshaw challenge support team.
