Kate Middleton's been called a 'commoner' from 'mining stock'. Are we obsessed by class? Nicky Campbell takes your calls, and hears from James Whitaker and Ian Bone.

Are we still a nation obsessed by class?
The language used to describe Kate Middleton includes phrases such as 'commoner Kate' and 'from mining stock'. Is her background really that important?

John Major said he wanted to create a classless society, and John Prescott said we're all middle class now.
So why are we still talking about someone's class if we're supposed to be the same?

Nicky Campbell takes your calls, and hears from royal watcher James Whitaker and Ian Bone, anarchist and founder of Class War - the magazine and political movement.
