Michael Portillo
Politician, social commentator, TV documentary maker and controversial former MP, Michael Portillo - a historian at heart - has recently used the Victorian Bradshaws railway guide to take millions of viewers on a historical voyage of discovery through the UK, Ireland, the USA and Europe with his BBC2 documentary series.
Along with stories about his travels and why the railways were once so important to Britain, he also interweaves his views on democracy, Donald Trump's election and Brexit. Come and listen to his extraordinary story which will be followed by an opportunity to ask him your questions.
