 | Great British Railway Journeys Find on BBC iplayer
With an antique railway guide under his arm, Michael Portillo gets on and off trains in a jaunty celebration of our railways, stopping to chat seemingly at random. He tries hard to have fun, but can't quite defrost. Average Joes make Portillo uncomfortable. Setting his face somewhere between a grimace and a grin, he tries to conduct cosy interviews with people he seems to find either boring or mildly repugnant. In Liverpool, Portillo meets local author Peter Grant, who presents him with a bowl of scouse (a lumpy stew). You can almost feel Portillo's insides curling up in disgust. Grant also demonstrates various Liverpudlian accents and Portillo tries to mimic them. It doesn't go well.

Guests include Gyles Brandreth, Oona King, Chris Mullin MP and Lord Hattersley.
