Following the death of Jeffrey Archer, let's revisit his appearance on the show six years ago.

He discusses his time as Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party and his relationships with Margaret Thatcher and John Major.

Plus there's a bit of book chat.

And, more importantly, wine and cheese.

Employment Minister Andrew Western gives us a comprehensive briefing on the government’s new plans to get young people into work, education or training.

There’s a bit of stick and a bit of carrot… which Andrew knows all about as he used to work at Subway!
