Andrew Marr with John Adams, Philip Ball, Julien Temple and Sangeeta Datta.

Andrew Marr explores the mystery of music with John Adams and Philip Ball, the ruin of Detroit with Julien Temple and the long history of British-Asian cinema with Sangeeta Datta.

Andrew Marr discusses films, soundtracks and the idea of LA with composer John Adams, as he prepares for the UK premiere of City Noir, which brings the grime and glamour of 1940s films to orchestral life. Science writer Philip Ball talks about how our relationship with music proves that we're human and why and how music affects us. The filmmaker Julien Temple talks about his latest documentary, Requiem for Detroit, a moving elegy for the death of a city. And filmmaker Sangeeta Datta talks about the long history and exciting present of British-Asian cinema.
