Mark is joined by comedian Yacine Belhousse, along with Elliot Steel, as he tries to make sense of the Paris riots, the French philosophical approach to the work life balance – and why you can't get lamb flavour Pot Noodle.

Plus, top tips from money-saving expert Martin Sunak (who recently eased the country’s money worries by telling us to ‘hold our nerve’) and an exclusive extract from Nadine Boris's new novel “The Plot – and how I lost it.”
