Andrew Marr and Denis MacShane, Ruth Lea, Kutlug Ataman and Michael Craig-Martin.

Andrew Marr and the MP Denis MacShane, the economist Ruth Lea, and the artists, Kutlug Ataman and Michael Craig-Martin.

Andrew Marr talks to the MP Denis MacShane about the political situation in France. It's 30 years since the election of the country's first socialist president, Francois Mitterrand. The People's Pledge is campaigning for a referendum on the UK's membership of the EU, and its founder Ruth Lea argues that it's time to disregard the wishes of Brussels. The Turkish artist Kutlug Ataman explores the spirit of Mesopotamia in his latest works, where his films of water defy national boundaries. And the so-called 'godfather' of the Young British Artists, Michael Craig-Martin, showcases the art of drawing, from his original sketches using tape forty years ago, to the computer-generated drawings of today. 
Producer: Katy Hickman.
