Freaky Friday

Peter van Dyk | 09:22 UK time, Friday, 20 July 2007

We're OFF air now. We hope you've enjoyed the show. Keep sending your comments and they will be posted on the blog.

It's Martin Vennard here. After a storming show from New Orleans yesterday, it was pouring down outside as I came into work at TV Centre in West London this morning. True, there's nothing unusual about that in Britain in the summer, but, to my surprise, water was also falling from above inside our office here.

It turned out that it was the air conditioning unit and not a hole in the roof that was too blame. Two guys are currently trying to repair it.

. They will all be given asylum and help in starting new lives in Denmark. The Danes say were evacuated because of fears that they might be targeted by insurgents after the pullout of the Danish troops. Should other countries, such as Britain and America, be doing the same for Iraqis who have worked with them?

Turkey goes to the polls on Sunday to vote in a general election after months of tension between the ruling AK Party, which has strong Islamic ties, and secularists. The powerful military has reminded Turkey that it is ready to defend secularism.


Following on from yesterday's programme, and the announcement that had received America's highest civilian honour, we asked you for your nominations for America's greatest living American. We hope to talk to some of you about some of your suggestions and maybe to some of those people you nominated.


We're planning to talk to Ali in Kuwait, who criticised the portrayal of Islam in the media. We posted his comment on the blog and a heated debate has been building. There's still time for you to take part, so let us know your thoughts on the issue.

The final , the Deathly Hallows, comes out tonight and already Potter fans are queuing up outside bookshops to be one of the first to get a copy. Tight security surrounds its release, but already two New York newspapers have published reviews of the book. Are you mad about Harry, or is the hype just too much for you?


Have you ever rated your team's chances of success so low that you decided to forget about a match and go off and do something more constructive?
