Michael Portillo is partial to a colourful blazer or two.“I’ve been lucky because there are vast numbers of former politicians – mountain loads – who I expect would each like to spend his or her second career in television, but not many of us have got to do it!“I’ve been keen to take the series somewhere new each year,” he reasons of the spectacular 2,500-mile journey, undertaken with his 1913 Bradshaw’s Handbook.The latter half has seen him travel the globe, with Great British Railway Journeys – now on its 11th season – extending its travel documentary format to other territories including America, India, Australia and Canada.“I was looking forward to going to Vietnam because I’m of a generation that remembers the Vietnam War.“Normally I get two or three new ones a year, so there’s not a total turnover – viewers will be able to see old favourites from several years ago no doubt – but the stock is refreshed!It’s been 15 years since the Hertfordshire-born star left politics behind.“I think the 21st Century is going to belong to Asia; there’s such a lot of activity, development and so much infrastructure, such energy, so much education, it’s a very dynamic place.
