In the mid to late 1990's we, as a film crew, were sent to Scotland for a week to make a pilot documentary with Michael Portillo. I was staggered to find what a thoroughly nice guy he is.We had some interesting discussions over that week about his time in politics. I have the utmost respect for him.

    I do like Portilio. Quite often disagree with him on policy but he presents his arguments well and I always could understand his point of view even if I disagreed with it.
    Hearing him talk about politics makes me feel nostalgic for BBC This Week. It's a travesty that it got axed, it was the best political show on TV.
