Michael Portillo heads for the Last Frontier of the United States armed with his 1899 Appleton's Guide-Book to Alaska. In Seward, Michael feeds a rescued sea otter pup with a fearsome bite and learns how the luxurious pelts of these endearing creatures were once the most valuable in the world.

A year on and he will be back with series 11 in January.

Starting on 6th January Michael and his blazer book will be travelling from Newcastle to Loch Ness until the 10th.  Then the following week he goes from St Ives to Salisbury Plain. 

It seems this series will be concentrating on the period between the two World Wars.
