Every bit of this programme should be of interest to people here.

You are right sir! How could they get so much into a ½-hr programme?
And Portillo is such a good presenter; he is a great advert for the
Oxbridge Universities, whichever one he went to. He also did a very
moving programme recently where he met some of his family in Spain,
still divided from the horrors of the Spanish Civil War.

He said he used to have a flat on Whitehall in the Admiralty. I wonder
how he got that? Was he in the Civil Service before becoming an MP?

When he went to the Cock Tavern, Smithfield, he said that until
recently non-bummarees were not allowed in. I thought that outsiders
were always allowed in at any time of day. I kept meaning to go there
at 6am but I never did.

As a complex, KXStP must be mind-boggling; from the far end of the new
glass canopy on the Eurostar platforms, stretching underground right
through and fully connected to KX International, and even encompassing
alternative dimensions at Platform 9¾, it must be almost an 8-hour day
to see everything.
