I am intrigued. What is Hadi Gel Bizimle Ol about?

It's a talk show (the title is a line from a song and literally means "Come on, be with us"). What makes it different is that there are four hosts - two heavyweight intellectuals, an actress and, of all things, a model - and they're all female. Here it is on YouTube.

Well, it looks interesting, but I don't understand a word of Turkish. (I like the sound of it better than Persian, though). Thanks for showing me.

Speaking of YouTube, here's Stephen Fry in a tea commercial.
