And what a wonderful show this was. I love, just love this jacket and waistcoat. Well, any waistcoat really but this one is especially nice. The whole thing fits him so nicely. I was thinking I'd like to see it with the trousers, but the more I think it over it would probably be too much check. Also, when he's standing up it looks like the jacket style wouldn't suit matching trousers too well, even if they exist.

Great Countryfile tonight … a lot of cute close-ups of the FBB… loved Matt’s segments and also liked Julia’s and Katie’s segments ….Eric broke Adam’s bucket. Mitch, Annie and Riley are all lovely … Matt not just sent Riley a few second earlier; Riley was a red little arrow,,, I think Matt felt sorry for Riley but little doggie had nice cuddles from Matt so not bad at all. Julia still managed to mention ‘Baker is competitive’, she knows the Baker boy so well”

Evening. Yes, Emma it was a terrific CF wasn't it! Managed to see most of the Mr B sequences (had relatives round) and marvelled at the speed of both the lovely dogs and the lovely Matt as they sped up the 'lane'. What a little mover It's great to see Julia and Matt joking with each other, and Matt comparing Julia's locks to Riley's ears I'm anxious to see it again on IPlayer as I didn't get to see the full programme.

Thanks for the last set of pics KK, all wonderful as always.

This is a super ballet pose with Matt showing his tremendous physique and strength.....

http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...13at113154.png

What with lifting Aliona, Julia, Alex and goodness knows who else, the poor chap must be worn out

So back to the One Show tomorrow....one of the delights of Sunday night's CF is the knowledge that he'll be back on our screens the next evening Let's face it, we're spoilt!!!!!

POCs to all those facing snowy conditions on the way to work tomorrow, keeping fingers and everything crossed that it won't be as bad as forecasted as busy bakerettes haven't got time to be messing with freezing weather and slipperyness

CCM everyone. xx

Rating for last night's Countryfile was good, particularly as it was up against Dancing on Ice: 19:00 - Countryfile: 6.36m (24.4%). It's actually only about 0.5m viewers behind DOI now - wonder if one week it could beat it

You do realize that Matt is unlikely to be at your local flyball class, don't you?

Seriously, those dogs looked so happy and energetic - and so did Matt. I love the way he was so upset on behalf of the dog he raced for letting him/her down. The dog of course is probably unaware it lost - or indeed was supposed to win - anything, but would have picked up Matt's emotions. A lovely CF altogether, in spite of the several hoods Matt appeared to be wearing at the beginning. I must admit I've been known to dress like that too. The secret is to start again and make sure one of your garments is hoodless

A great rating for last night, yes. It would be lovely as kk says to see it pass DOI, which seems to be failing slightly.

As a Wodehouse fan I was happy to see Blandings get a good rating too. Hope it continues.

I'm not a cardigan fan at all, but absolutely love the colour of this ensemble. I like the fact the shirt and cardi match too.

I always think of the extraordinary strength Matt demonstrated in the last lift in his and Aliona's AT. I can't even stand up unaided from the position he was in on one knee, and to do it with Aliona on his back and suffering from training injuries was phenomenal I thought.

These are my favourites here:

Hello – if you had snow in your area hope you stay safe if you go out and about. I slipped and fell over this morning just at the entrance of Wesfield. The problem was it was snowing and the ice stuck in the heels of my boots within 5 minutes of walking on the pedestrian area. It was very slippery to walk on so I glided and fell over. Thank God, apart from having a bit pains, I had no fracture at all.

He was a naughty boy, wasn’t he, comparing Julia’s curly brown hair with Riley’s curly hair on his ears. Julia told him that Millie was like him as well. Re – Matt’s lifting, he actually started off with lifting Kara in the group dance on the launch show before he lifted Aliona. They all are lucky girls!

Evening all

Only a very very light dusting of snow, nothing like the snow further north. Just rain at the moment could get some snow later tonight

Didn't get to see yesterday cf . We had a power cut just after 2pm and didn't get it back until 11pm, looks like it was a good one will catch up with it on iplayer

Matt looked lovely tonight, all snuggled up in a jumper,can't say that i knew who brian c was, but he was alright.

Thanks star, parents got away with only a small delay to sunny gran canaria, which should be alot sunnier and warmer than here

Matt wasn't on Countryfile on the 9th of December so it's straight back to The One Show on the 10th of December. The guest was Placido Domingo.

I should say here that I love Matt's shirt - a dark blue, beautifully fitted and nicely unbuttoned . And the trousers would appear to match his earlier waistcoat and jacket too… (and the random Christmas tree is Matt's )

Known as post Christmas fatigue......nearly everyone I speak to says they are so shattered....we all wear ourselves out leading up to the holiday period and then January is upon us.....little money, little motivation, little energy It's a grim time.

Fortunately we have a certain gentleman farmer to enliven us...

http://i1098.photobucket.com/albums/...14at213450.png

Just one of many beautiful KK pics.....they are all glorious

So glad to hear your parents got away to G Canaria SkyBlue....they'll be soaking up the sunshine hopefully and having a whale of a time. Lucky senior SkyBlues OH and me are on a cruise to the Canaries in July...should be really hot especially as there's a SCD theme to the cruise with SCD dancers (only one couple I think) to bring pleasure to the vast audience of sea-faring holidaymakers, it'll be entertaining that's certain Anyway SkyBlue, I do hope your mum and dad have much rest and relaxation - expect you wish you had gone as well!

Back to the man of the moment....discovered that the flyball sequence was filmed in a town not far from where I live! Very exciting....shame I didn't have a handy dog to enrol at the time And what a jolly fine One Show tonight. Didn't hear much of what Brian Cox said as I was too busy falling about and thudding at MrB and his soft and fluffy hair, beautiful! He looked a bit warm in his jumper despite the cold outside. Perhaps the beeb had turned up the heating....turn it up even more, I say

CCM to one and all, sleep tight and keep safe tomorrow in these treacherous conditions.....:sleep: xx

Morning all.

I was very tense, very nervous pre-christmas because 8 people were coming. Last time this particular branch of family tried to all get together was a dinner for a special birthday in London in 2006. It never happened because I fell ill the night before and ended up spending 2 weeks in intensive care followed by a month in hospital and another month in a recuperation clinic. Think I was subconsciously worried it might happen again because as soon as I saw everyone at the airport I relaxed, and realized that was what had been at the back of my mind and why I was so tense. Maybe it's just taking a long time to shake that off.

Anyway I now have to catch up on last night's TT!

Dont let OH lose in the shower - no repeat of 2012 please as you will be donning your dancing shoes. Are you sailing from my home port?
Didnt realise everyone had that "shattered feeling" after Xmas. I'm just about recovered from that feeling but am off to the Panto tonight(Oh yes I am).

Goodness Rita 2006 was a year to remember for you. So glad all your preperations passed off without a hitch.

Well not a flake so far here but brilliant sunshine albeit a tad on the parky side and nothing forecast. Thank goodness for our little microclimate here. However the boots have mad an unwelcome appearance but at least they are not the wellie kind

But as busy boy Matt not just commentates on Gymnastics, he interviews Dan and Sam twice, and Mitch and Chris at the end of the program as well. (Helen Skelton was his little teammate interviewing Louis's mum earlier on that day. It was a big day for Louis and Max as they respectively won Silver and Bronze in the pommel horse final.)

Hello – I am filling in the blank of KK's photo review 2012 and I am nearly there now!

Day 11 BBC One Tuesday 7 Aug 2012 North Greenwich Arena 14.15-16.00 (live steam 14:00 - 16:57)
Well, it was the last day of the Artistic Gymnastics at the NGA where the finals of Men's Parallel and Horizontal Bars, Women's Beam and Floor Exercise disciplines were taken place. It was an early start and early finish (during office hours) so I missed it out when it went on air though I did catch up on the live steam and a few bits on BBC 1.

Matt was busy as usual presenting and commentating on the gymnastics alongside Mitch and Christine.
http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...Finals-001.jpg

Matt interviews Olga Korbut and Jenny before the Women’s Beam finals
http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...mDay11-004.jpg
http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...mDay11-005.jpg
http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...mDay11-009.jpg

http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...mDay11-036.jpg
http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...mDay11-039.jpg
http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...mDay11-045.jpg

The BBC showed a clip of the young Olga first time ever attempted the backflip on the Beam, later I have learnt from Matt and Christine that it is now also known as the Korbut flip (possibly named after her). Jenny mentioned that it has now become one of the required elements in that discipline. When the finalists of the Women's Beam were being introduced Matt was still chatting with Olga and Jenny as we can see them in these pics (just behind the girls so we can guess where he interviewed them.)
http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...Finals-007.jpg
http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...Finals-008.jpg
http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...Finals-009.jpg
http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...Finals-010.jpg
http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...Finals-014.jpg

It was Mitch who did the introductory bit covering for Matt. As soon as he was back to the commentary box, I could hear Mitch happily handed over to Matt.
Mitch: So style and elegance (of the women’s beam finalists), and is Matt Baker!
Matt: (giggling) Thank you. I just sit down from my dismount. (Cheeky!)

Judging from the conversations between Matt, Mitch and Christine on that day; Matt had interviewed Mitch before the Men’s Horizontal Bar final. I guess it was after the Men's Parallel Bar final and during the victory ceremony because Christine was the only one left in the commentary box talking though about it. Presumably they have talked about Ipke Zonderland. Matt introduced Ipke to the viewers not just as a finalist of horizontal bar but as a medical student and a skateboard rider. Seems he’s a bit of fan boy. Matt also promised us that Ipke’s performance was going to be spectacular. All top 3 gymnasts in that discipline and their routines were brilliant and they performed incredibly well but Ipke’s dismount was just thought to be perfect. I found really funny when I heard Mitch suddenly said, ‘sit down Matt!’ He was actually commentating on the Korean gymnast, the last finalist swinging on the horizontal bar at that point. After that round,
Mitch: ‘It’s time to sit down. Have you sat down yet Matt?’
Matt: I am. I am now.

Again before the Women’s Floor Exercise, I reckon Matt interviewed Christine because it was only Mitch talking through the victory ceremony of the men’s horizontal bar final. Beth was the former world champion on floor so they probably mentioned about it during the interview. Both Matt and Chris joined Mitch when the finalists were being introduced. At a point Matt said, ‘Using Cossack music to leap ahead of Russian.’ If I am not mistaken, he was referring Catalina Ponor scoring ahead of Aliya Mustafina. Don’t know was it a bad joke or not. He’s just hilarious as always. At the end of the program Matt said, this is it from NGA and it was!!!

Afternoon, readers and lurkers! I've been one of the latter for the last day or so....was too worn out to post yesterday evening

So back to business.....just to echo KK's thanks to you Emma for your diligence in getting all the brilliant phawtaws and v/t links down on virtual paper for us!

This brings back memories as I saw Matt after he left the Olympic Park BBC studio on that Wednesday. We had been watching a Handball match and made our way over to the food stalls/tents nearby to the studio...and the rest is history

http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...080812-071.jpg

I have been trawling through the Olympic vts but unfortunately there is no recording of Matt introducing the women's open swimming event at the Serpentine.....I just wanted to hear those immortal words again, said as only Matt can....'20 acre lake' in his soft Durham voice What a pity we'll never hear that again.....

And those pics from 4 August are just lovely......

http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...040812-117.jpg

http://i1106.photobucket.com/albums/...040812-067.jpg

We certainly weren't short-changed of Matt sightings during that fabulous fortnight were we!

Hope the panto was good Lotus? Expect all the stars were brilliant, must be the best one in the country!

Yes, my holiday should be a great one SkyBlue....am already making big plans.....mostly around what cruise attire to take! And yes, we are leaving from your home port Lotus....it's such an easy way to travel, everything is taken care of, will nevertheless stock up on the old seasickness pills!

We have an hour of delectable Mattiness tonight.....roll on 6.58....can't remember the guests but they are superfluous to my requirements anyway

Afternoon all - ratings updates for The One Show this week: 4.67m on Monday and 4.68m yesterday which is very consistent! I don't have percentages as the only place I found these numbers are Attentional which doesn't list them

Didn't really watch the show last myself - twitter melodrama got in the way... I'll admit it did just seem a bit of a run-of-the-mill show so I hope tonight is good!

Excellent! It's slightly up since the return and holding steady

I had my own personal little melodrama yesterday. Reading about the losses I quickly checked my stock to see if I had the missing nuts (which I did), responded without thinking to a suggestion to upgrade, got taken to the application's website, closed it thinking I'd worry about that later only to find said application had been trashed - I suppose in preparation for upgrade - and is unretrievable. My Time Machine is currently in the middle of a complete backup which will take days, but once finished I suppose I can just retrieve it from the archives. Thank goodness for the spreadsheet though!

I should say here that I love Matt's shirt - a dark blue, beautifully fitted and nicely unbuttoned . And the trousers would appear to match his earlier waistcoat and jacket too… (and the random Christmas tree is Matt's )
”

The shirt certainly is a nice fit, and goes well with the suit trousers which the more I think about it would definitely be too much as a jacket/waistcoat/trousers ensemble. At least for TV - maybe okay for a country look. What I would really like to see again is the tweedy waistcoat he wore the night of the fire. I don't think that ever did make a second appearance. It went very well with the slightly rough look he had that night.

Anyway - some good, classic, Matt poses here. These are my favourites:

I like the tree too. It's a nice homely, unpretentious tree that looks as though the kids have helped with the decoration.

Hello – I missed a few bits of the OS tonight. Got to catch it up on ilpayer. Has anyone known yet where Matt will be filming CF on Friday? Looks like it will be snowing elsewhere on Friday in the UK so I just wonder what he and CF production team have planned.

KK, you have said the BBC would have kept the videos until end of 2012, haven’t you? I watched Day 11 gymnastics finals on last Friday night, it was still there. Now all videos have been removed from the website possibly from Monday. Now London 2012 has gone down to the history and we all left with some lovely pics of Matt and the great memories of Olympics. The chances are slim to be a host country again but anyway we can still hope for, at least to see Matt and hear his commentary again on the upcoming gymnastics European and World Championships.

SG, has the Olympic Part Studio been dismantled yet? I haven’t heard anyone mentioned about it, not even in the news.
