Re: Michael Portillo (or Leahcim Ollitrop, as he was known to us), yes. He was about five years ahead of me so I didn't really know him. Also Clive Anderson (..'Talks Back'), Geoffrey Perkins (who produced 'The Hitchikers' Guide to the Galaxy') and various other luminaries - all in the same year! Sir Paul Nurse, too, who's just won a Nobel Prize.

Anyway, that was at Harrow County, not Stanburn - although he may have been there too, I suppose.
