BBC Radio 5 Live - Victoria Derbyshire, 05/10/2010

With Lord Sugar, policing minister Nick Herbert and Badly Drawn Boy.

Lord Sugar on The Apprentice and politics, policing minister Nick Herbert on welfare cuts and Badly Drawn Boy on Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow's 'bromance' duet.

Lord Sugar gives Victoria his views about the economic recovery, the wisdom or otherwise of Cameron and Clegg forming a coalition government, and the new series of the Apprentice, which starts on Wednesday night. He talks about his former role as business and enterprise tsar, and criticises Lord Jones, Digby Jones, the former head of the CBI.

Policing and Criminal Justice Minister Nick Herbert defends plans to cut child benefit for higher rate taxpayers. He also explains the government's plan to get prisoners working a 40-hour week, and answers accusations that the law-abiding unemployed should be found jobs first.

Victoria also interviews Lisa Robinson, a mum from Ystrad Mynach who stood in front of a passenger train in an attempt to get the driver to contact police about "yobs".

And in the "Monday" music review, Badly Drawn Boy Damon Gough, footballer-turned-band-manager Dion Dublin and DJ Spoony cast their ears over the latest releases - including Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow's "bromance" duet.
