To celebrate the FRANCE 24 culture show's 15th birthday, the programme has had a revamp. We have so many fond memories on the show, from interviews with Lady Gaga, Tom Cruise and Quincy Jones to live performances from Sting and serious discussions with Ai Weiwei, Xavier Dolan and Jean-Paul Gaultier. We invited all our culture critics to talk about their favourite memories and what they're looking forward to in this new season. We're joined by music critics Marjorie Hache and Florence Villeminot, who present a music show every Monday; film critic Lisa Nesselson, who's with us every Wednesday; and TV critic Dheepthika Laurent, who joins us once a month to tell us what to watch on the small screen.
