Nice programme - I find Mr Portillo a very genial traveller and there were some new bits of Ireland for me to have a look at, next time I'm pottering around the Wicklow Mountains.

Love is a bit strong but yes, got to like a man with a good soh. Are you going to tell us who Portillo is travelling with?
