Blooming X-Factor. Is that on again!!

Of course it is . Strictly's coming back soon so of course The X-Factor is on too.

The One Show last night got 3.88m (19% share). A bit down on normal, probably still got a big story going on over at Emmerdale...

Evening all

Summer is well and truly on it's way out, rain again today

A good tos Adrian was a lovely guest, looks like he is very nervous about doing the show when it's going live to the cinemas
Like that in the planning to the theatre matt 1st question was had they got any sweets
Matt looking very lovely tonight, nice shirt with a little unbutton and stubble coming on nicely, gawgus

Onto the 4th of September on The One Show. The guest was Martin Clunes who was on to promote Doc Martin.

Matt was wearing an unusual salmon pink striped shirt with a navy spotted detail inside collar and placket. It worked quite well - but probably only on Matt

Thanks for the picspam KK, will dive in later as my late-night treat!

Adrian was a great guest on tonight's show, interesting and articulate Wondered what the results would be when viewers replied to Alex's question about people's bad habits in bed Matt tried to look serious and AL smiled One viewer sent a picture in of himself eating chips in bed But there were no revelations about Matt - he kept schtum

So it's going to be an hour's show tomorrow - horray - and Usain B will be guesting. How fabulous is that!

We've also had a sneak preview of Sarah Millic*n's TV show which starts next Tuesday. During the trailer, there was a tiny clip of Alex and Matt speaking to Sarah from the OS sofa amidst much laughter. That interview will be a hoot

So it's time for the hot beverage and seeing OH again! CCM to all lovely MB posters and readers. Sweet dreams. :sleep: xx

Good evening folks A great OS tonight with Usain B and Prof Cox, delightful and interesting guests. There was a bit of controversy with a viewer complaining about Matt's jackets with the patches on and someone else moaning about Alex not sitting up straight. Poor dears, they do get a lot of stick, all unwarranted of course But the know they have loyal followers who can disregard all the horrible tweets and posts and FB comments about them; some people just like to make trouble

Thanks KK for pics....

http://m1098.photobucket.com/albumvi...12615.png.html

Lovely stuff!

Matt looked very lovely tonight although he could have done without the jacket. His hair is a gorgeous length......someone hide the scissors And how disappointing for him not to have beaten his previous 100m time - still superfit MB (soon to be seen looking a lot sleeker and trim) will continue to improve on his timings. As RC3 approaches, he'll be working out whenever he has a spare minute....

Thank you so much Emma for posting some latest Matty findings. Unfortunately I can only open the youtube vts, the other vts are not accessible to me. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong? Anyway, if you have a minute, I would be grateful if you could re-post them perhaps in a different format? If you can't, please don't worry, we will just have to imagine Baker-the-stripper

Got some jobs to finish, OH is out tonight (on the wedding anniversary ) and have the Pimms handy

So goodnight people, sleep tight :sleep: xx

Evening all

A brilliant tos, Usain was a great coped well with the madness of tos a good laugh, lovely to see Brian again
very funny that he hates people complaining/ whinging and whining about his programme before it even started bit of a sofa box moment will have a catch up with his programme on iplayer.

Bless matt going a tiny bit red when chatting about complaining someone complained about matts jacket with the elbow patches and someone moaned about the way alex sits, the camera person gave us some nice close ups

Matt looked fab, nice pink shirt and lots of stubble, a very bouncy matt, he got his legs out for a 100m run, pretty good 13/14 sec,he really went for it, probaby take me twice as long and some to do it

Thanks emma for the lovely matty clips

Thanks Emma for these lovely little clips. Never say Blue Peter but always find it fun to look at these early clips of Matt. Don't find him at all thuddable back in those days but fun anyway.

I haven't caught up with last night's One Show yet. Was out to dinner last night and had lots to do today. I didn't know it was going to be an hour one. Sounds like it was good fun though.

Working my way slowly through picspams past, and came across this gorgeous specimen(s):

Didn't he look just adorable that night? Oh I do so wish he'd dress like this more often. Love most waistcoats (though not all) and this one is different and rather nice. Wish he'd try out the fire night look again too

These are great pics Emma. Sorry I'm a bit late in going through them. Love the first and last ones particularly.

A timely reminder of what we WON'T be seeing on our screens soon - sadly. Beautiful, elegant couple. Unbeatable! Thanks Emma.

Just catching up on last night's One Show. I will be curious now to see if Matt ever wears elbow patches again

It is a lovely waistcoat and one he's worn a few times now. The collar is a nice detail. It's part of a 3 piece suit though I've only ever seen him wear it separately - normally he wears that waistcoat with the matching jacket but he definitely has tweed trousers to match too.


He's had more supportive tweets about the elbow pads being on trend since that bit so he's probably feeling justified

Evening All


That was a lovely thudsday tos went far to quickly, matt looked fab in his salmon jumper and spotty shirt good bonus standing up views as he was getting boris to sit down
Dogs of all sizes on tos , Boris was huge you would want him jumping on you, matt liked him, he got plenty of strokes and ear scratches

Kate was a good guest, watched the programme she did about been herding was very interesting

The 1st wee clip of the new additional to the baker house, little cute bob, bet his getting lots of cuddles from daddy

A nicely clean shaven matt with unbuttonage and a little wow of tum , great pics kk

Evening, it's a brief visit

Yes, it was a great OS this evening, Kate H was a good guest and Boris and the other dogs in the studio must have made Matt's night - he so loves his canine friends And at one point, Boris looked up at him adoringly......

Matt looked very nice in his salmon pink jumper (think he's worn it before?) and there were lots of smiles, laughs and bonus standing-up Matt didn't seem to be suffering any after effects following on from last night's stampede, thank goodness

What a cute puppy Bob is! He must be chewing everything at the moment but Matt will be training him properly and he'll turn out to be the world's best behaved collie, bless him and his lovely owner!

Ta Emma for sending through the vts again - Matt was a star on BP! So genuine with people and animals alike........

So CCM to everyone, sleep tight. :sleep: xx

oh go on then.........if you insist

just catching up a bit

absolutely LOVED Wednesdays TT. Fabulous. What an awesome amazing man Usain Bolt is. I really dislike all the strutting and posturing and self loving that alot of top sportsmen go in for but he's just so grounded. Top man. I was listening to people talking about him on the radio today and they were saying how he has great humility. I like that word. Everywhere he goes people are telling him how great he is but he's not self deprecating like some would be cos that would be fake....he is great & of course he knows it. But he treats everyone he meets as equals.

Love how Matt went all fanboy as well .

and the race was just brilliant. So funny

you've got to hand it to Alex...she's clearly no athlete but she's a really good sport. Matts first time was quite amazing though really. He has a really good running action as well. Not sure how he managed to drop over a second & a half for the second though....maybe dodgy timing. Not sure Alex was taking it entirely seriously to be fair

Still not sure this is an indication that he's in training for anything. He did say 'we' when he said there was to be a RC3 but I still think its more likely to be a team thing. He's just got great natural athleticism I think.

But I'm happy to be wrong if it improves our chances of seeing him in lycra again

thud

I'm the opposite to you here bee - I hate how that word is overused, and how achievers are somehow expected to be humble as well as achieve. And of course very, very few of them are, but many pretend to be. You don't get to the very top of your field by being humble and I'd rather they didn't pretend. I do agree with you about Usain though and think he is an exception. He does come across as a genuinely nice guy.

I also loved Wednesday's show but more for the presence of Brian than Usain. He is also quite an achiever in his own little way

And now I see the One Show is starting. Was just about to rush off to watch but remembered it's Friday

Ah well, 2 days to CountryFile.

Evening all. Apologies for not being around much - it's been a busy week. Just noticed the rating for last night's One Show 4.04m (21% share). Really good share and also it was the 6th most watched show of the day - only things ahead of it were soaps and BBC news

but thats my point....I think theres no reason at all why people at the top of their field (whatever it may be) can't be humble. It doesn't mean they don't know how good they are it just means they don't treat other people differently because of it. Some let it go to their heads completely and think their gods gift to the universe, others try too hard to compensate and come across as patronising & fake. But there are alot, including Mr Bolt who get it spot on. He's the best in the world at what he does, we all know that, he knows it and if he didn't believe it he wouldn't be as good. But he also knows it doesn't make him worth more than the person interviewing/driving/serving him coffee when it comes down to it. He's a fast runner but theres probably things they can do better than him.

I mean no-ones brilliant at everything are they.....

........oh hang on

That's great! I do think it's getting livelier these days, and that's mostly down to Matt who's so full of enthusiasm
