Think they've been on before. Whatever you may think of his politics -which is irrelevant here- I think he presents the programme quite well.
Nice gentle TV.
When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.

Portillo is a very interesting guy; always enjoyed watching him and Diane Abbott bantering with Andrew Neil on TV.

The other programme that I like but have missed a few of the current series is Silent Witness. I always like the performance of William Gaminara who plays Professor Dalton. He carries the programme with his quiet dignity and sensitivity. The episodes this week were so revealing and true to life as he was portrayed working through the deaths of his wife and child some years before.
It was really moving and the scriptwriter must have done much research. Contrast this with the hype surrounding the cot death story in Eastenders which is total rubbish because as any mother knows when they have lost a child, they don't want anyone else's baby, only their own. BBC at its best and at its worst.

DOCUMENTARY: The Secret Mediterranean with Trevor McDonald
On: ITV1 Date: Tuesday 18th January 2011
Time: 20:00 to 21:00 (1 hour long)
Trevor McDonald's Mediterranean journey continues. In this episode, he goes to the west coast of Italy and visits Vesuvius, one of the world's most dangerous volcanoes, and meets the Naples prosecutor responsible for confronting and convicting members of the mafia. On the stunning Amalfi coast, he visits the idyllic Palazzo Belmonte, where he catches up with the last remaining prince of one of Italy's grandest families. Next he heads to Spain, where he takes a hair-raising ride in a supercar on the Costa Brava. Then he travels to Morocco, stepping back in time with ancient Berber tribes.

Terrible thought - I first went through Sheffield, by train, in 1935 on way to Scotland to be christened
