| Michael Portillo - media career |
The two towns are to be featured in an episode of BBC TV's Great British Railway Journeys to be screened next summer.
The Cleethorpes Light Railway will be featured as will the work of offshore windfarm company Ørsted.
During a break in filming, Mr Portillo (68) - a junior minister under Margaret Thatcher and Defence Secretary in John Major's government - had lunch at the Petit Delight restaurant in Seaview Street, Cleethorpes.
At this week's meeting of North East Lincolnshire Council's tourism scrutiny, Cllr Tim Mickleburgh commended the broadcaster for developing a media career since quitting frontline politics in 2005.
"It is good that he is now doing something worthwhile," quipped the Labour councillor.
