Thanks Rita - yes I enjoy them a lot when I look back at them.
Last one for now - with Aliona mischievously pressing Matt on the question about the judges and Matt manoeuvers round it very well. And the discussion about Matt's body.
Its the "We're gonna go ridiculous!" interview.

Evening

What a joy to see that video again, thank you Fatskia

And thanks for all the latest picspams KK, am still trying to catch up since my return from my hols!

A great OS tonight, Matt looking very gorgeous in his salmony pink jumper and interesting shirt though the collar seemed a bit big! Jack D was his usual sardonic self but entered into the madness that is the One Show. I loved the bit where the strongman had picked up Matt and Alex - he did seem somewhat out of breath afterwards

Still to watch Sunday's CF which will be very enjoyable but although my OH recorded the One Show programmes, I doubt whether I'll ever have time to view them He's such a busy lad that it's difficult to keep up with him!

Better whizz off now.......good sleeps to all readers and MBlovers :sleep: xx

Evening all

A good tos tonight, jack was alright, jack teasing matt about the vt and wigs and how good matt was
The guy that lifted matt and alex up was huge .

A good looking matt tonight, but the jumper was back on, a couple of good close ups plently of laughing with jack

Evening
Lovely pic of Matt and Pete….

I really looking forward to see Countryfile Henley-on-Thames on Sunday….As Pete is one of four heavyweight-men coxless sculls rowers; he’s a big lad, made Matt look like a little guy but not too different in height as much as Matt and the big young farmer lad.

That is my all-time absolute favourite clip. I love the way Aliona is trying to get Matt to say what he really thinks about the judges comments and how Matt is staying doggedly diplomatic. It's clear to me that in private he's told her exactly what he thinks. Thanks Fatskia for bringing these memories back.

Onto the 1st of March on The One Show and Alex was on holiday so Matt was joined by Julia Bradbury. Strangely I wasn't really a fan of her presenting as she was a little overbearing - it really shows how certain roles suit certain people. And that makes Matt pretty special as he copes admirably with such a wide variety of roles. The guest was Claudia Winkleman and this was the day Matt played an April Fools joke on the public

Matt was wearing a blue/grey shirt with spots and jeans
And doesn't he look absolutely gorgeous. Which is strange because I don't like the shirt much and his hair is too short. I agree about Julia being a bit overbearing. In fact I've since started to go off her a bit on CountryFile as I'm beginning to see the same trait. Still, Matt seems to get on fine with her and that's the most important thing. Claudia was lovely on this show I remember. In fact the whole show was one of the best. The April Fools thing was hilarious.

Still can't copy pics into my reply the way they are posted so I'll stick with just the first one I selected - which happens to be the first one In truth though, there are lots and lots of lovely pics here.

It's the 2nd of March on The One Show with guest Oliver Stone. He might have been a little serious for the show but at least he was engaged and interesting.

Matt was wearing a white shirt, burgundy cardigan and jeans
He's a serious man is Oliver Stone, and that's okay. Not everyone can be full of fun and games all the time. Maybe not the best choice of invitee for The One Show though, but never mind.

Again, lots of lovely pics. As I can only choose one I'll have this one

I can't win can I! I post the pictures without the ~original size flag and I'm told that results in them opening in the mobile site. Leave the flag on and I get told that you can't copy more than one into a post...

No idea why as I can happily copy and paste as many lines from those posts as I want on iphone, ipad and Mac...

Didn't mean to worry you kk, you're doing a great job
I need to sit down and figure out what's going on with my two browsers (Safari and Firefox) but can't get my head around it at the moment. In the meantime no one really needs for me to repost pics with my comments (it's just something I like to do) - in fact many might appreciate not seeing them

Straight onto the 3rd of March on The One Show with a Spring themed show as they changed the background colour in the studio and had a panel on to discuss the season - featuring Gyles Brandreth, Jon Hammond, and Christine Walkden. The guests were Michaela Strachan and Sarah Brightman.

Matt had broken out a Spring toned wardrobe to match the new background colour - lemon shirt, grey jacket with lemon pocket square, and jeans
In the absence of Spring, what better sight than Matt compensating by imitating the daffodils. And doesn't he look gorgeous

Some lovely pics here kk (which I can copy apparently)

Like this one
http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...08at211257.png

And this one is just gorgeous
http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...08at211625.png

A slightly mischievous look here

Like this expression plus there is a bonus knee
http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...08at212401.png

Just a lovely smile
http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...08at213139.png

And a nice quizzical look

I'm a long way behind on picspams, but after this Matt was on holiday for a week so I'll catch back up a bit! It's the 4th of April on The One Show with guest Phillip Schofield

Matt was wearing a beige jumper, cream shirt, dark tie, and jeans

It's the 14th of April and Countryfile came from Suffolk where Matt was at a boatyard helping make the "Nancy Blackett" seaworthy (Arthur Ransome's boat and the inspiration behind his book "We Didn't Mean to go to Sea")

Morning - it’s been very long busy days for a while so I have been pushed aside posting strictly screencaps. Have a little break today so here they are:

Matt: The risk concerned is that you feel like you happy too early. But you know somebody got to be top of the leader-board and please it’s me (giggles).

From the muddy pumpkin field to the training room, heel-lead became a big thing to perfect after wowing everyone with his wiggles.

Aliona; Matt, c’mom! Let’s go!

http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/...aining-073.jpg

Matt said it must have been frustration for Aliona cos’ all those hours he was away tripping down the dales that actually could have been his training hours so as it would be better than they were.

Struggling with the heel-lead, his face really showed.

Aliona teaches Matt how to lead her (his tongue sticks out or eyes look up or bites the lips if he has something to concentrate. Old habits die hard. He kept these old habits to the minimum when he performed though.)

Good evening.

I love reading your comments Rita so please keep them coming...

And I have to concur.....this pic is very very gorgeous

http://m1098.photobucket.com/albumvi...11625.png.html

Hope your holiday went well KK, and please do not worry about picspam situation. We are so grateful for any MB pics you post - we'd quite understand if you want to have a rest at any time! Am going to dive in to your latest MBfest any moment now - I'm all agog with anticipation

And yes, Rita, after the heat of Rome it's off to the much cooler temperatures to be found in the Welsh regions of the UK Good job the winter underpinnings haven't been consigned to the back of the wardrobe yet They will certainly be needed!

Getting prepared for some biceps action on CF - thuds aplenty tonight I guess Can't wait!

Evening all

I think a celebration is in order as the sun was out and warm so matt was able to get his and legs out on cf

It was a lovely one tonight, matt in a lovely white tshirt flexing his muscle and showing off his rowing skills, i think he did really well since he didn't have much of a lesson .

A sweet sliver highland calf on adams farmer,so cute, we have a chance to name him, anything starting with N this year

Break out the champers Summer defo had gots its hat on and some beauteous views were the order of the day. JB has become a lady that has mastered the art of cunning whilst poor MB was having trouble with his oars. Has obviously realised that she will not win challenges without resorting to underhand tactics

SG - hope you and the other intrepid ladies pack the waterproofs, thermals and a very large thermos flask to brave the elements that seem to make up the English Summer. I am off to the "sunnier" South Coast for birthday celebrations. Think I'll leave the shorts and t-shirts behind......................... Now where did I put my gloves...............

I'm a long way behind on picspams, but after this Matt was on holiday for a week so I'll catch back up a bit! It's the 4th of April on The One Show with guest Phillip Schofield

Matt was wearing a beige jumper, cream shirt, dark tie, and jeans
This jumper is truly horrible. the less said about it the better I think. Quite like these two pics (for the expressions)

So, even though it was earlier than normal at 6:30pm (people still eating dinner and it was a nice day in large parts of the UK) Countryfile still got 5.42m viewers. That was more than Antiques Roadshow (5.39m) and exactly the same as the British Soap Awards (8pm on ITV). Not bad going really

It's the 14th of April and Countryfile came from Suffolk where Matt was at a boatyard helping make the "Nancy Blackett" seaworthy (Arthur Ransome's boat and the inspiration behind his book "We Didn't Mean to go to Sea")
Nautical Matt I always like programmes where he's messing about in boats (or ships!)

this one is really sweet

And this is a lovely close-up (as well as following pic)

Think I might pop over to Points of View and tell them. For those few who think CountryFile should be all about farming, that features should not be broken up, and the programme should not have Blue Peter presenters doing silly stunts. They cannot expect the BBC to abandon a clear winner just to please a couple of disgruntled viewers who liked the old Sunday morning format best.

No, you're right, I shouldn't bother. Let them simmer away if it makes them happy. Probably need something to raise their blood pressure anyway
