Interesting documentary on social inequality

I just watched this on the BBC iplayer:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00yb5kv/Who_Gets_the_Best_Jobs/

It gets real interesting at 25 mins when one person claims there is an ability distribution across the classes - not something I agree with (I think the journalist does a good job of debunking this). The notion of some genetic lack of ability amongst the lower clasess is sadly a common thought that even affects how people do gospel work amongst those from deprived areas.
