Re: Portillo was interviewed, reverently, on RNZ National in 2018. Archived Message Posted by Morrissey on May 18, 2020, 12:50 pm, in reply to "Re: Portillo was interviewed, reverently, on RNZ National in 2018." No she didn't reply on that occasion, although to give her credit she often has read out emails I've sent her. I've struggled through a tiny bit of Archer's bilge; I was particularly appalled by his blatant ripoff of Somerset Maugham's "The Luncheon", which he retold almost paragraph for paragraph, minus the elegance and wit. Archer was involved in a monumental stoush with Kim Hill on RNZ National in 1995, by the way; he was reduced to shouting repeatedly, "I was WARNED about you!" It was her most outstanding interview until a decade later, when she provoked the far more detestable, and sinister William Shawcross into a paroxysm of fury.
