I always reserved a substantial repertoire of particularly unpleasant adjectives to hurl at the TV every time Portillo appeared during his political days.
In fairness, I have to say that in his travel programmes (Great Railway Journeys etc), he appears to be a decent and impeccably mannered chap.
It may be that he has changed or quite possibly, as a former politician, he's just a damned good actor.
