Evening

lovely clip cf tonight, seen part of the sweet chestnut eating on utube with AWT not the start of it collecting the chestnuts, love that the young child just stuffs the chestnut in his mouth and went back for more
A gawgus stubbly matt in perthshire, not seen that one, wow what a clip, kk love the mbfans pics
and a bonus mattage with ellie and food going up mt Snowdon fabulous




Got the cha cha one to load after some time but it kept stopping and not playing, it good that he has found his way on to china's utube

Emma, thanks for the quick Matt pictures . Last nights episode did really well in ratings - getting 6.7m viewers and a 31% audience share

Regarding One Man and His Dog - they've said the singles round will air on Countryfile, the other bits on red button the same day / week (end of this month). Personally I think that's as much as you can expect them to devote to a really minority interest on a show that airs in primetime and attracts 7m+ viewers.

One Man and His Dog was getting less than 1m viewers so even something like 15 minutes on Countryfile is a fantastic boost for its profile. If it attracts attention then there is an opportunity for them to do more over the next year. Like I said - they might consider doing more around the training of Bob and perhaps showing further trials competitions...

Evening all


Good to see a cardie wearing matt on this chilly evening, nice bit of unbuttonage and plenty of stubble, a happy bouncy matt
David was a good laugh nice and chatty


Forgot to say last night in the mist of gawgus stubbleness of matt in the woods, that I was happy to see vanessa go, shame t wasn't the both of them ,hopefully julien next week

Evening all. Quiet around here today

Just had a look and last nights One Show rated really well with 4.67m viewers (23% audience share). Really great in terms of both rating and share and remarkably only the 10th most watched show last night. For reference, the equivalent show last year got 4.24m viewers so it's actually up year on year

Evening

A few pics of Matt on tonight the OS.
Lovely close-up

Matt and family down on the farm on CF tonight on yesterday channel. Hungry baby lamb nibbling his nose always made me laugh.

No Matt on CF next week so I really hope we will see v good coverage of OMAHD on CF plus on the red button with Matt. I don't want to get disappointed so I don't want to expect too much.

Looking forward to see new team rickshaw 2013 btw.

Evening all

Matt looked fabulous, lovely waistcoat and tie, nice amount of stubble gawgus. A very happy bouncy matt

He was really enjoying the Mojitos, shame we didn't get matt dancing the salsa instead in of jay, we did get pudsey dancing in the office behind gloria
Gloria was a great guest and a good tos

Sounds like we going to find out what they are going to do for children in need tomorrow

Thanks emma for the pics of a fab looking matt, he wasn't going to let anyone nick his drink was funny matt saying aww man before taking a deep breathe and saying the few Spanish words




Great ratings, it is good tos is getting more viewers

very nice shirt and trews combo, the shirt does look better for the unbuttonage, thanks kk great pics.

And it's still quiet around here . Hopefully tonight's show will draw people out...

Rating for last night was 4.42m (21% audience share) so still not bad. Matt looked lovely in his waistcoat and what appeared to be a new pair of skinny chinos in a nice teal blue colour

Evening

Rickshaw 2013 promo pics from tonight’s OS. At first I thought there would be no Matt involvement. My excitement has nearly gone down to zero.

Matt’s rolling beer barrel and barge sprawling on tonight CF on yesterday channel. Seriously hot…I like his check shirt.

Evening all


Rickshaw is here, parent and children teams doing a whopping 700 miles bike ride, with alex teaming up with them, sounds like matt will be riding alongwith themm for parts
of the trip, guess we will get more details over the next few weeks

A very lovely wowful shirt tonight and unbuttonage with nice snw views, a happy bouncy matt chatting to steve and the proclaimers, nice bit of foot tapping by matt when they were singing at the end of the show.

Thanks Emma for the rickshaw pics, nice one of matt leaning against Pudsey

Emma, go and read the article on the Pudsey site as it should cheer you up. Matt is involved and will be mentoring and cycling alongside the Rickshaw (similar to last year I guess) in all 4 countries. Based on the fact that he and Alex are switching on the Xmas lights in Bolton they will again be hosting The one Show along the way too.

Alex is acting as "parent" to one of the young people so she will be on the Rickshaw so obviously there's a bit more focus on her this year. Doesn't mean Matt isn't involved

Article is linked here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b008...challenge-2013

Good rating for an hour long One Show last night - 4.07m (19% audience share). And it was the 6th most watched programme of the day. That's really good for a Wednesday

I suspect the promotion about the rickshaw challenge helped the audience...

That IS good for a Wednesday.

Is everyone excited about the new Rickshaw challenge? Don't bother to answer that - I know what the answer is I was quite moved watching the kids being introduced last night. They look like a lovely bunch.

I hate this jumper and shirt with a vengeance. Fortunately the man himself is looking gorgeous. Love all of these:

Have to see how it works out with OMAHD. It's too early to say if the new format will work or not. At least though, people will be watching it. I don't know how big an audience it had but probably not great. In general I don't like the way the bbc is cutting speciality programmes with a limited audience, especially when they've had a long history. We'll see.

Thanks for these pics Emma - especially the ones from the press night. Lovely

gorgeous pics, really gorgeous. Thanks Emma

On BBC2 One Man and his Dog had a tiny audience - not even making the top 30 programmes for the channel in the week. So probably less than 1m viewers. This way, it may not be on for as long but it's going to be seen by 7m viewers. And if it gets good feedback I suspect we'll be seeing more of it on Countryfile

I don't quite understand what speciality programmes are being cut by BBC. I know there's been that stupid rumour doing the rounds about Sky at Night but what else has been lost? If anything, I think with BBC3 and BBC4 being available to all homes in the uk there are a lot more speciality shows available now - particularly on BBC4 (some really obscure art history stuff there!).

BBC1 and BBC2 are more mainstream but I think that's because they can be now there are the other channels for the really quirky stuff - and even then things like Stargazing Live, Science Club, School of Hard Sums (all Dara O'Briain actually) and the *Watch shows get really big audiences for "minority" interest subjects.

And didn't Matt look gorgeous with his smart waistcoat and generous stubble! I particularly love this one:

http://i1280.photobucket.com/albums/...S151013-02.jpg

Thanks Emma.

The Sky at Night is what I was thinking of. It may be just a stupid rumour but it has been picked up by the more serious press (Guardian, Telegraph etc.). The BBC has said The Sky at Night is on air until the end of the year. Plans for subsequent series are being discussed - which probably means shelved. Stargazing Live is a very poor substitute imo.

Evening! Back home after a few days in Suffolk - weather mixed but the stormy seas looked magnificent, and during the short spells of sunshine, everything was gorgeous

Thank you Emma for the pretty pics - I've yet to see the Gloria E episode of the OS. Love Gloria and of course our Matt!

Much admiration for Andrew M on the OS tonight, he's getting on well after his serious stroke but realises it's a slow haul. He was an interesting and interested guest. On a shallow note, bakerettes were bowled over by the shirt, tie, waistcoat and jeans combination as modelled by Matt this evening. Think it was judged a '10'! Matt's artistic offering on the tablet, his depiction of Andrew, was a great 'painting' though, as we know, Matt loves to draw his landscapes of Britain which is where his heart lies.

So no Matt on CF so after an abundance of Mattage over the last couple of weeks, we are now in famine territory. Roll on Monday!

Trying to watch CF on Yesterday channel whilst finishing chores for the evening & washing hair........ evenings don't get better than this Sleep tight all :sleep: CCM xx

Jamie Alan high tech magic is incredible!

Rita and Jan, nice to see you here again.


Thank you KK. It cheers me up a bit now. I kept saying how I’ve been looking forward to see Matt and his new team rickshaw. I supported previous years so will support again but without him I’d have lacked of interest in it. Rickshaw is the same one from last year, isn’t it? They won’t set up the challenge with the one Matt rode for 484 miles + extra 16 miles in Peterborough to light the Xmas lights, would it?
These are nice promo pics

Matt’s riding bike on CF on Yesterday Channel, Air Ambulance episode, looking lovely!

Evening all

Hi star sounds like you had a few good days away, hope you didn't get to wind sweeped walking along the prom and piers

Missed the first few mins of tos was watching itt, turned over to find a gawgus matt in a lovely waistcoat. A happy bouncy matt looking gawgus

Andrews looking very well, a good guest, he can draw very well. Matts ipad drawing of him was good

A good tos, the vt about the spider was great, amazing how in makes a air bubble house in ponds

Lovely pics Emma, thanks did I mention that he was looking gawgus tonight

Afternoon all! Hopefully Matt is filming Countryfile today - given they were filming in Tring yesterday I'd be hopeful (that's very local)

Last nights Episode of The One Show got 4.06m viewers (20% share) and was the 6th most watched programme of the day. Not bad given there was a finale of a big Emmerdale story at the same time

Evening! Good OS tonight with Roger T - he said he wouldn't be able to tell stories about Freddie on the show - I wonder why Chris E was so loud throughout the programme - finesse and sensitivity are not his strong points! Despite the noise, I enjoyed the chat. Will be interesting to see the reaction of Que*n fans to the news about the film and the actor chosen to play FM. Expect you tuned in too Rita!

Thanks Emma for the pics from last night's edition He looked so handsome in the waistcoat

Yes, SkyBlue, did feel a bit battered by the wind on Wednesday on my Suffolk hols, battered yesterday because of dentists etc. and not great today But we just get on with it don't we!

Great news re audience figures for the OS yesterday KK, and good that M has been filming today. Saw the pic of Julia on the tractor and hoping Matt will be having a gaw as well.

Hope everyone has a great weekend - no Mattage on Sunday though Will CCM....sweet dreams and sleep tight all. :sleep: xx
