My Love For Mathew Baynton, Discussing His Characters
Hi guys . As you all know . I love Mathew Baynton . I’ve mentioned his name a countless amount of times on my blog . I’ve talked about his characters and all the TV shows and films he’s been in . Honestly, I really love him . I’ve loved him since Horrible Histories . I think it’s cool to see that he’s done other stuff too . I’m absolutely obsessed with him . He is an amazing actor . He’s a great person too . He’s one of the reasons why I write . He has inspired me so much . On days where I have no motervation to do my writing, I just watch his shows and his interviews and I just feel so inspired . If only he knew how much I love him .
He’s been in shows like Horrible Histories, Ghosts, Spy, Gavin And Stacey, You Me And The Apocolypse, The Wrong Mans, , Peep Show, Yonderland and he’s in films like Telstar The Joe Meek Story, Tooty’s Wedding and Bill. He’s just such an amazing actor . If you didn’t have a crush on him when you were younger when you first discovered Horrible Histories, then you’re not even British. I had a serious crush on him and I still do, he’s just really beautiful, the fact that he doesn’t even know that I exist is really sad, I’m like his no 1 fan and I will continue to support him throughout .











He was also in Telstar The Joe Meek Story . Telstar is a biopic of the legendary Joe Meek who was a record producer and a pioneer in music but he drove himself mad in the process and sadly, he killed himself . The film is amazing . It’s done so well . Mathew plays the role of Ritchie Black more . He was great . I never actually knew he was in the film, I think I was watching it with my dad and his name popped up and I was like ” Oh my goodness, he’s in this as well, isn’t that the guy from Horrible Histories ?”. Usually he’s in like comedies and stuff, it’s so weird seeing him in Telstar, but he was amazing in that . He hardly had that many lines, you would just see him in the back with his guitar or something, but he was still amazing in it . Ritchie Blackmore used to be in a band which was called The Outlaws in the 60s . Then later on, he was in a group called Deep Purple . I listen to their music quite a lot, actually, they make great music . It’s really great rock music . I like how they chose Matt to play the role of Ritchie Blackmore, I think he played him really well. He looked quite young in this . I think this film came out in 2008 or 2009 . I’m guessing that Horrible Histories came out a few years later, but I don’t really know . I think this was one of his earlier works . I really love it, I think it’s great .
I’m watching more and more of his work, I’m becoming an even bigger fan by the day . I started off by knowing him from only Horrible Histories, but now, I know him from so many TV shows and films .
{Talking about the TV show Spy}
Recently, I started watching a TV series which is called Spy . Spy is a sitcom which is about this low life who gets a job as a CIA . Mathew Baynton is in it, he’s the reason why I started watching it . It’s such a good show . I came for Mathew Baynton, I stayed because it’s actually a great show . The gags in that show are so funny . Matt plays the role of Chris Goddard, who is Tim’s friend who works at a electronic shop. Chris is absolutely demented . The stuff he comes out with, he’s absolutely hilarious. Tim is probably thinking ” Why am I friends with this maniac ?”, haha . There was this scene, I think it was in season 2, it was where Chris suddenly turns up at some party and he just turns up with his guitar and starts singing and having a go at this woman . He was like ” Why did you have to hurt me, Bernie ?”, and he just looked mad . That scene is absolutely brilliant . It’s just the way he suddenly appeared and everyone’s just standing there, thinking ” Who is this geezer ?”. But seriously though, that entrance, wow, iconic .



I can’t stop rewatching that scene, it just cracks me up every time . That’s the dream entrance right there. If someone has betrayed you or if someone has pissed you off slightly, just turn up at a party and confront them with your guitar, haha, and just start singing some random songs . But let’s be honest here, Bernie doesn’t deserve Chris . Chris did the right thing in the end . But yeah, whoever had that idea for the episode, they deserve a raise . If Matt came up with that, then he’s a genius . I’m definetely gonna continue watching this series because it’s just amazing . British comedy sitcoms from the 2000s and the 2010s were like the best .
{Talking about his iconic moments in Horrible Histories}
Matt had so many iconic moments in Horrible Histories. He played hundreds of historical figures from different decades. I remember the time when he played Elegabalus, who was the emperor of Rome. Elegabalas was a prankster and he would pull pranks on the people of Rome. Really, he was a terrible person but Matt made him a little bit likeable . Charles the 2nd The King Of Bling is one of my favourite Horrible Histories songs, it’s so iconic and so catchy, I know all the words, I watched it like ten times, I know it all off by heart, it’s such a good song and you learn so much from it and they make it really fun . Pachacuti is another one of my favourite songs that featured Matt . He sounds so drunk in that song, it’s so funny, I loved seeing him dance around and then get scared because of random things . He was singing about such horrible things but he sounded so happy. I really love Horrible Histories songs, they were so ahead of their time, I love that they were renditions of famous songs, that was really clever.
I love everyone from Horrible Histories, they all have really funny sketches in the show but whenever I see Matt, I get butterflies in my stomach, he’s so cute. Mathew Baynton was a gift from man kind, I’m so grateful to have him with us in this world, he is a national treasure, I’m so looking forward to what he has in store for us in the future. If he ever puts out a biography in the future, I’m buying it.
I’m still in love with Thomas from Ghosts. I thought I got over this crush but nothing much has changed. Thomas is such an articulate character. I know that he was a bit of creep at first but I feel like he improved a lot and he wasn’t obsessed with Alison anymore. Matt brings such an Aurora to this role, he can make any character likeable, I feel like that’s a power of his, he could make us fall in love with any character even though they come across as idiots or whether they have made bad decisions.
He continues to inspire me, he generally seems like a lovely person, I’d love to meet him one day, I’d love to meet the whole Horrible Histories cast, let alone Mathew Baynton.
I have so much more to talk about but I want to keep this post nice and short, I feel like I said what I needed to say anyway. So there you go, that’s all I have to say about him. I expressed my love for Matt, I just think he’s really awesome at everything he does. Thank you so much for reading my post, I hope you liked it. Have a nice day wherever you are, love you.
