... but I'm sure he's meant to be significantly younger than Lilian, who's not yet 61 herself.
How old is he anyway?

Matt's precise age has never been specified but I think he is supposed to be (fairly) close to Lilian in age.
Might it have got anything to do with Mildred?

Mike ..., I had an idea that Keri had said here in N&Q that Matt was quite a lot younger than Lilian and I have the notion that he's late 40s or early 50s, which is why I asked. And, as you say, Matt's age has otherwise been a bit of a mystery which is probably why Tiger never has a birthday that Lilian can turn into a surprise party.
As an aside, I notice that Lilian seems to have caught JD's dahling bug ... she was always prone to it but the parallel seems to even more marked* these days.
* marked aka irritating because sincerity usually slithers off Lilian's shoulders
I thought he was a bit younger than Lilian, but definitely well into his 50s.
I notice from the timeline that Lilian and Matt and Adam and Ian became items the same year....

Shock! Horror! He hasn't been lying about his age, has he?
I think I might have got the idea that he was pushing 50 when he hooked up with Lilian in 2004, al so we're not on totally different song sheets on this one. How deeply ironic if he is only five years younger than Brian, it's time he seduced and impregnated someone any day now.
We have now given Matt a birthday: 7 August 1947
So he's 61.

Thanks, Keri, although one can hardly rejoice in the news that he is man born of woman ...
Please will someone rescue me from this alien universe in wot I am tropped (sic) as I think this means he's still 60 and all of a month younger than Lilian (8 July 1947) ... Leo and Cancer: medallion man and the universal mother hardly seems like a good description of Matt and Lilian (although, yes, I'd agree that he does have a certain medallion ne sais quoi about him).
I agree with KentishKelt, and I don't wish to be pedantic, but surely Matt is 60, 61 next birthday. 8th July 1947 must have been a very good day because it is my birthday too, and there I hasten to add the similarity ends, although I would like a slice of Lilian's money and to have a hale and hearty mother still alive.

Bit it's absolutely typical of Matt that he has managed to squeeze another year out of the deal ...
Leaving aside Keri reincarnation as a Time Lord, anybody else notice that Matt's and Lilian's DOB's are numerical anagrams (Lilian being born on 8th July 1947)
XTD
numerical anagrams...
oooh, strong suggestions of anagram significance in current Dr Who triparter....
maybe the TA SWs aren't telling us something... (well, yeah, natch!)

Lilian has already suggested that she and Matt are soul mates

Well, at least they're very unlikely to be brother and sister...

But they could have the same father ... omg, that'd make Medallion Man a wrong side of the blanket Archer (and /that/ would be fun)
Sorry, yes, he's 60 at the moment.
I've been been plannng my next writing week and my head was in early September.
