Anne McElvoy returns with a new series of the show that invites people who disagree on an issue to debate - and then to listen to each other.

Immigration, whether legal or illegal has been a contentious issue in Britain for the last half century. Many would argue the debate goes back far further than that. In today's programme the author of 'How to be a Patriot', Sunder Katwala puts forward the contention that immigration is good for British Society. The counter argument is made by the Daily Telegraph columnist Sherelle Jacobs.
Anne invites them to make their case before inviting them, with the help of the resolution expert Gabrielle Rifkind, to find out a little more about their opponent's background and how it has come to frame their views on this contentious topic. The ambition is to see if, while not abandoning their positions, they can accommodate some of the arguments confronting them.
