On the programme tonight...

Eddie Mair | 15:03 UK time, Wednesday, 27 June 2007

To many Sir Peter Blake is simply the man who produced the art work for the cover of The Beatles' Sgt Pepper Album. To others he's the original pop artist - a cultural icon. Now, you can decide for yourself. The Tate Liverpool is hosting a retrospective exhibition showcasing more than half a century's worth of work. Matt Cole is there for us and will report tonight - and he's sent this self portrait of Peter Blake.

    I take it, not a RECENT self portrait, then?

    Because if it is, it's not very good is it?

    We'll be listening, Eddie. Love that painting. There were lessons learned between 1900 and 1930, that will never die. I strive for it, Peter Blake has done it. Much Respect. X

    david cameron gave praise to a prime minister
    that lied to the country, was questioned by police
    and took us to an illegal war

    only fools believe we still live in a democracy
    tony blair through his foreign policies has made the middle east the most unstable area of the world. he has been appointed special envoy to the middle east.

    only fools believe we still live in a democracy.
    the country has just accepted a non ellected head of government.

    are we fools ?

    paul morley (5)- Well, you might be. No, you are!
    You do have an elected head of government - you just don't understand the electoral and governmental system!
