A chance to catch up with Adrian Goldberg's latest investigations.

They're supposed to be the 'brightest and best' migrants the UK can attract, but this week a Border Agency study revealed around a third of 'highly skilled' migrants coming to the UK to work are actually taking on unskilled jobs, such as supermarket shelf-stackers or as security guards.

5 live Investigates speaks to Border Agency staff who claim the situation is even worse than official figures suggest, and also hears from foreign graduates working in fast-food restaurants. They reveal how many are doing so to pay off the debts they have incurred while studying in the UK. But if they cannot get the skilled work they desire, and if the UK is not benefitting from their talent, should they be allowed to take just any job? Critics are calling for a review and say the system should be scrapped.
