Fate is just not on our side is it. And with his comments in the tv guide about the way he dresses at home when outdoors in the heat I'm really beginning to feel cheated!

Ah the cardis, the cardis - when will they go out of fashion again.

Some nice shots all the same. I like these

Wonderful, wonderful pictures here Emma. I will never, ever tire of looking at pics from Matt and Aliona's SCD adventure. It's so sad she'll not be there this year, but you know I'd almost completely lost interest in it anyway the last few years so that's just the final straw really.

Although I've seen many pics and VTs from training, there are always some new ones in your posts and I love to discover them. This is my favourite

Thanks for posting them Emma

Matt was wearing a pale blue linen jacket, white shirt, and grey trousers (with matching suede shoes)

I quite like this look even though the different parts don't quite go together really. It has a sort of scruffy/smart look that I think suits Matt better than very smart. Also it's just full of wows, stubble, and the occasional slightly thick belly

Moving on to the 24th of June on The One Show where the guest was Alan Titchmarsh who was on to talk about his garden makeover series. And Matt impersonates his family in Hull - who from his impersonation are clearly the campest residents of the town!

Matt was wearing a pink shirt and grey trousers (I think Matt is aware that pink suits him when he has a tan )

His Countryfile article indicated that they all ended up buying something (Matt bought the bear - I would have gone for the eagle but I think Nicola probably beat him to that )

Also, there were a lot of pictures from the filming tweeted whilst Matt was there. I think some women were particularly fond of the view when he was climbing the tree . (And Matt's article also commented that his time climbing the pole of 25.5 seconds would have won him a prize during the competition - I think he was rather proud of that!)

It's the 25th of June on The One Show with guests Patrick Kielty and Mo Farah.

This shirt makes Matt's face look too coloured to me, it sort of takes the attention away from him, and it's not helped by the extremely bright pink of Alex's dress. I do like it though. It's a beautiful fit - and I love the jeans.

Hilary is a strange woman isn't she. She always looks artificial, almost as though she's in drag. I do like her though. I have a feeling that underneath all that make up and carefully structured look she's a nice person.

I like these very much

Now this one I definitely do not like. Maybe because I grew up in an era where peter pan collars were not worn by anyone over five. You're always saying attitude depends on age kk. BJK was an interesting person - very intense, very strong opinions, but at the same time flexible enough to change if confronted with a new viewpoint. This happened on the show I recall but I cannot recall how exactly. She had a huge impact on the tennis world in her day.

I like this pic

Will this heat ever end??? Impossible to get anything done. Today is the Swiss national day when bonfires will be lit and fireworks ignited all over the country. Really and truly we could do without it in the heat. It begins a week long "fete de Geneve". Down by the lake there'll be intermittent fireworks for a week, and there are roller coasters and merry-go-rounds, stalls, music and general jollity. Not sure if there is such a word as jollity but I quite like it.

Afternoon all. There won't be any picspams tonight as I'm out for pre-birthday pizza with friends

It's a Matt free weekend too so it's nice of him to return for my birthday on Monday - I'll get to see him before heading away on Tuesday (and then missing him on the roadshow - may need to see if I can get iplayer in France!).

And yes Rita, our fashion prejudices do tend to be determined by age. We tend not to like certain things we've seen before on people of different ages - so if cardigans (obvious example ) were only worn by older people when you were young then you're never going to be a fan!

Hello – I am intrigued by what Matt has said in TV Time interview.

Here, the abstract from his interview:
‘My sunbathing is going out working – I’ll always be working outside in my shorts with my top off. I don’t really sit still for long – I’ll do all my chores outside when the sun is shining. I love doing DIY so I will get my workbench out and do my jobs – I never stop!’

Do you guys believe that he would work outside in topless? The man who is very keen to wrap himself up in layers and layers? I cannot believe it! Maybe it would be once in a blue moon he’d like to take his top-off. I may believe if a paparazzi or stockers have had the photograph opportunity and share it with the public. But I do believe his love of doing DIY and never stop (unless Nicola told him). And of course he’s a hyper that he can’t sit still long. And now he revealed his dream of making a sand castle that you can walk in with a moat! What a surprise! CF and TOS directors and producers would need to write a story about him making a dream-sand-castle on their shows.

Anyway the Matt-free weeks are nearly over but I expect the Matt-less CF episodes. There won’t be a repeat of last week CF on Sunday either. Instead he will be back on Monday so not bad at all, isn’t it? Those who have Yesterday Channel can watch Matt on a repeat CF water-themed on Monday. I will watch it at 8pm. It’d feature Matt surfing the Severn Bore, joining the Brighton Summing Club in wet-suits and cheering on Julia's kayaking.

I have it on VHS now this is an opportunity to record digitised version. There is no Matt on CF episodes repeat on Tue & Wed. Haven’t checked Thu and Fri programs. Never mind, he’s back on the OS by then so I am happy!

Although I've seen many pics and VTs from training, there are always some new ones in your posts and I love to discover them. This is my favourite

Thanks for posting them Emma”

I was hoping that we will see she and Matt would get the opportunity to reinvent some of their fabulous dances that Matt didn’t get the chance to perform to the perfection. In my views, Charleston, AT, Rumba, AS, Paso and Showdance were also her finest, some of which were underrated masterpieces. I’d love to see him flawlessly perform those dances again with her but all my hopes have gone now.

I have already lost interest in strictly so who won who lost didn’t really bother me at all. I have no favourite couples other than Mattiona but I liked to see her winning the series cos it was overdue and she deserved it. She is a talented pro so I do hope she get an offer from ITV that Davina is going to host.

It's a Matt free weekend too so it's nice of him to return for my birthday on Monday - I'll get to see him before heading away on Tuesday (and then missing him on the roadshow - may need to see if I can get iplayer in France!).

And yes Rita, our fashion prejudices do tend to be determined by age. We tend not to like certain things we've seen before on people of different ages - so if cardigans (obvious example ) were only worn by older people when you were young then you're never going to be a fan!”

Happy Birthday and have a lovely day on Monday. Hope Matt would cheer you up on that day!

His talents have not been wasted. He got his dancing shoes out as we have seen him dancing foxtrot based AS with Alex in 2012 at the Buckingham Palace in the music room and tap-dancing at TVC in 2013 so still have hopes. He’d probably the last person dancing on the rooftop of TVC, not sure was there someone danced on it before him.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Hello

Thank you for posting Matt and Louis’s pic. I haven’t seen it before but I if I am not wrong it was from World Gymnastics Championships 2011 Men’s AA Finals in Tokyo, Japan.

There are video clips you can watch on youtube. If you are interested, here they are:

Afternoon - Anyone would like to watch back Matt’s One Show short video clips from 2010 pre-strictly again? These clips are 3 years old now but Matt’s interviewing style, body language, expressions and reactions haven’t changed at all. I have captured some pics that show he’s the same Matt we know and love apart from being young clean-shaved boy looking v cute:

12 July 2010 (If you ever doubt that his wow moments are post-strictly you will be wrong. Proof here - you can see some wows but unfortunately he got his vast under his shirt)

Tomorrow 4 August is Matt Annual Soaking Wet Day on the One Show but he is still off so not a chance to see him get wet. And this time last year Matt was so busy presenting the Olympics daytime programs and commenting on the gymnastics. When he returned to the OS he looked fabulous. He was in great shape on CF filmed right after the Olympics. Now I do wonder how he would maintain his physique in great shape when he returns on Monday.

I'm not convinced that it's to do with things being worn by older people. More the image they portray at any age. It's not that easy to categorize. Cardigans for me is the Val Doonigan look, which means a comfortable, homely, fireside sort of look, which is not how I like to envisage Matt. I prefer him in either the t-shirty, check-shirt, outdoor sort of look which he looks most at home in, or the sexier, SCD style. That said, some people can make a cardigan look sexy, but Matt isn't one of them as far as I'm concerned. I love styles from the 1940s, hate those from the 1950s, and love those from the 1960s again, so there's a skipping about of eras there.

Hi Emma,
Just dropping in because I noticed some of the screenshot photos.

One thing I watch Strictly for is to see how people cope. For week 3 Aliona decided to push Matt until she found his limit. I think she said something like ' I'm gonna push him until he breaks and then - that's when he's going to be really good.'

I didn't see Matt break, he stayed controlled, well mannered but still giving 100% all the time, and Aliona kept ramping it up and he still coped. Aliona said that after that week, it broke away any barriers and they formed a strong bond.
After that I rated Matt at a level no-one else on the show has reached IMO. I haven't seen anyone else cope with so much of a workload throughout a series, thrown at them in such a random manner and handle it all without looking like they are going to break down.
I'm sure he has faults, but I ain't seen them yet.

So it was no surprise that at the end of the show Aliona said "Matt has been an amazing, amazing student."

Hi rita1 and thank you! Just had a quick skim through of the 1st link that Emma so kindly provided and yes, it's from that event.

Thanks again to you both. Xx

OK - got my day's wrong The last picspam was the 26th of June - the 25th wasn't available in HD so I skipped that show. This is
now the 27th of June with guest Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees.

Matt was wearing a navy cardigan, white shirt and grey trousers. Given he gardens in nothing but shorts he could at least consider wearing just shirt sleeves on the show

Hi fatskia - yes I keep updating (slowly but surely) the screenshots. In the words of Rita, “Matt and Aliona’s SCD Adventure”…is still alive and kicking here.

She did say the first one in Katya and Aliona’s Bootcamp VT on ITT . That was really funny and Matt was very cheeky. One of my favourites ITT clips. The latter was said in their last ITT, was it? And you are absolutely right about rating Matt and the strong-bonds they have shared.

Now you can’t see which couple can cope with the pressure on SCD since you only got those silly-scripted-training-VTs from series 9.

The reason Aliona started pushing Matt from week 3 was, the like of Pamela and Scott winning the judges’ hearts and obviously gaining favours. They got pretty easier marks as I witnessed to. Matt, on the other hand, did set up a very high-standard from week one. That clearly motivated other couples to catch him up so the overall standard of the series getting higher and attracted many viewers. But it was a tough situation he and Aliona were in, unexpectedly of course. To maintain the same level of high standard and be consistent every week was quite challenging, wasn’t it? And as we know he got other work commitments that required travelling up and down the country, talking completely different subjects that needed to switch his brain frequently plus involving lots of physical activities that burnt his energy. Aliona was well aware of the fact that despite he is an all-around talented guy they still needed to work harder than the other couples to stay ahead of those who were less talented. Matt said the pressure was really on but I could see Aliona felt the pressure even more. Viewers knew Matt is very talented but wondered how she would bring the best out of him. So she pushed him hard (in a good way) as Claudia said so as their lack of training hours did not impact on their performances that much.

She was a tough teacher to him but I’d say it’s a tough love. And I think she managed to bring out his hidden talents as many as possible which I really appreciated. Without her we wouldn’t know what he could do would we?

No problem at all. Good to know it was the clip you have been looking for.

I am going to watch a Matt-less CF tonight cos’ I want to know what weather we got next week especially on Wednesday at 7pm. Weather report on BBC Breakfast this morning saw the return of the rain widespread across the country. Not looking forward to go to work tomorrow. Hope the OS Roadshow can broadcast live in dry and sunny weather on 7th. And I expect to see Matt in JACKET, CARDI or even JUMPER on the OS return. If not, I’d be very surprised.

Anyway, I can watch Matt in different actions on CF to be repeated 3 times a day on the Yesterday Channel this week so Matt clips are bonuses of the week.

Here is weekly schedule from what on TV:

5 August 2013
Adam Henson heads for Dover to celebrate Britain's coastal beauty, and introduces a selection of the team's favourite moments from the past 12 months, including Matt Baker's attempt to brave the Severn Bore on a surfboard and Julia Bradbury's kayaking mishap in Pembrokeshire
http://www.tvguide.co.uk/detail.asp?...vL6MhFzqCDh.99

Having said that this episode included Matt joining the Brighton-Swimming-Club, celebrating 100th anniversary if I remember correctly; the temperature at that time they swam was 4-degree-C so unsurprisingly he put his wetsuits on.

8 August 2013
Matt Baker meets a farmer who provides willow to feed giraffes at Chester Zoo.
http://www.tvguide.co.uk/detail.asp?...1yT33xPDTIi.99

9 August 2013
Matt Baker discovers why Sheffield is one of Europe's most environmentally friendly cities, before helping a team working to restore the grounds of Wentworth Castle, near Barnsley
http://www.tvguide.co.uk/detail.asp?...qGXTxp3diwW.99

The CF episodes - Matt feeding the hungry giraffes at the Chester Zoo and discovering why the lifeblood returns to Sheffield, once-polluted industrial city were filmed when he was on Strictly Live Tour 2011. I am so pleased that those are about to be repeated. I hope more episodes of CF would be aired every week on Yesterday Channel.

Would he, KK? Would he ever consider and listen to his fans? I don’t think fans' voices would ever be heard. OK, I don't want to see him feeling cold so I'd let him wear whatever he needs. Will catch up all picspam later this week. I hope. Have a lovely day tomorrow!
