I really like him and his bright clothes. He will have a go at anything his hosts demonstrate - dancing, cooking, sipping drinks and seems genuinely interested. He’s a great presenter.

We've been following his train journeys (around the world) and thoroughly enjoying them. He's surprisingly good as a travel presenter; I think it's because he has a real knack of connecting to people.

Uzbekistan is now on my bucketlist.

I've just watched that episode too Cossy. It was lovely. Budapest looks stunning

Does anyone watch the programmes made across the years travelling across the uk, then the globe by train?

I’m watching an episode today, he’s in Hungary, he is in the most beautiful synagogue, with a rather lovely young rabbi. The stories from this rabbi about the Nazis was horrifying.

He then proceeded to offer Michael some beautiful sweet bread and undertook a small ceremony just for him.

It was all so beautiful and it moved me to tears.

I’ve never been a great fan of Portillo, but since I started watching these epic journeys I’ve found him to be so respectful and willing to learn, with quite a fun sense of humour.

Well worth watching!

I’d love this job!
