Omid Djalili

British-Iranian comedian and actor Omid Djalili joins Richard Coles and Suzy Klein.

Omid Djalili, the British-Iranian stand-up comedian and actor, joins Richard Coles and Suzy Klein to talk his relationship with Iran, comic sensitivities and that dive off the 10m board in Splash!.

Also on the programme, a former international hostage and police negotiator Richard Mullender who now works advising business in 'engagement'. He tells us what makes him the Lewis Hamilton of expert listening. Tanya Mai Johnston came to Northern Ireland as part of Operation Babylift, the mercy mission flying orphans out of Vietnam during the 70's. She talks about the difficulties of growing up in Coleraine - in a place she now calls home. Every Saturday morning listener So-jin Holohan sets out to write a letter to one of her friends around the world. She takes her inspiration from the guests and listeners who appear on Saturday Live and after the show ends, shares her thoughts by putting old fashioned ink pen to paper. Alex Noble's friends accused him of shunning a stable career on a whim when he left his full time job in finance to become a zombie trainer. We find out what that involves.

And Norwegian crime writer Jo Nesbo reveals his Inheritance Tracks. He chooses 'I Know What I Like In Your Wardrobe' by Genesis and 'Perfect Skin' by Lloyd Cole and the Commotions.

Produced by Alex Lewis.
Edited by Karen Dalziel.
