Michael Portillo: Self - Presenter

Quotes 

• [Michael climbs out of a sewer that he has just been shown around] 

  Michael Portillo : Brighton needs its sewers like society needs politicians!

• [Stuart Slark is showing Michael the sewers that run underneath Brighton] 

  Stuart Slark : You've got the Victorian sewer running down the side. Also we've got two big sewers coming down into this. Then when they have heavy rain it will overflow into where we're standing and then go down these two barrels behind us towards the sea.

  Michael Portillo : Wait a minute. So we're standing here... What happens if that overflows while we're standing here?

  Stuart Slark : [gleefully]  We're going to have the ride of our life down those tunnels - it'll be better than your train journeys!
