Ian Payne sits in for Tony - and his main debate at the start of the show is about pensions. Business Secretary Vince Cable wants to give every pensioner a state pension of about 拢140, irrespective of how rich they are. Is that really fair? Is it taboo to suggest pensioners should face cuts like the rest of us?

It's a terrifying thought - but over one million women and 900,000 men are stalked in the UK every year. That's according to the British Crime Survey. In the first hour, we speak to former ITV news presenter Alexis Bowater who was herself stalked and to forensic psychologist Dr David Holmes on what drives a obsessive to stalk and how victims can deal with it.

In the final hour, a lively discussion about whether we should whack up the price of cigarettes to deter smokers and get more cash into the NHS.

And listen out in the final few minutes for White Christmas as played on a mega-rare 1927 HMV Gramaphone.
