An Evening With Michael Portillo Wed 23rd Oct| 8.00pm Colourful and controversial, and with strong views on the question of British integration into European political and monetary union, Michael Portillo is probably one of the best-known Conservative figures of recent years. An accomplished and powerful speaker, he is frequently invited to address a wide variety of audiences, where his humour and wit are appreciated. Since leaving Parliament at the 2005 general election he has devoted himself to writing and broadcasting. He writes for the Sunday Times and is a regular on both BBC 1’s “This Week” programme and Radio 4’s “Moral Maze”. He has made documentaries on subjects as diverse as Richard Wagner and the death penalty, and in 2011 he presented the first in what has become a highly-acclaimed three part series – “Great British Railway” Journeys. In the most recent series (screened in November 2012), Michael ventured onto the European rail network to retrace journeys featured in Bradshaw’s Continental Railway Guide of 1913, beginning with London to Monte Carlo. His first stop was Paris, where he absorbed the atmosphere, before heading south to the Cote d’Azur and ending his journey at Monaco’s gaming tables. Michael remains in the public eye through his media work. He enjoys presenting television programmes, radio broadcast
ing and writing. He has written about walking as a pilgrim on the Santiago Way and on working as a hospital porter. He has a weekly column in The Scotsman. He had a series for Channel 4 entitled Portillo’s Progress, partly a biography of his father. He has presented radio programmes on Wagner, the Spanish Civil War and also a programme on Elizabeth I, as part of the BBC’s very successful Great Britons series. Michael Portillo is a member of the International Commission on Missing Persons in the former Yugoslavia (which organises the identification of massacre victims) under the Chairmanship of Bob Dole. He also serves on the advisory council of the Institute for International Studies at Stanford, California, USA.
