Never in the history of Canadian politics has the world press covered a prime minister's personal life as much as Pierre Elliott Trudeau's. Even Londoners have the Trudeau bug. After a British Commonwealth prime ministers' conference, reporters spot Trudeau with German jet-setter Eva Rittingshausen. Should journalists write stories about his private life? One fan says she knows it's wrong but she really enjoys reading about it. (This is the audio of a TV report for which video is unavailable.)

• Trudeau dated many high-profile women, including musicians Liona Boyd and Barbra Streisand, as well as actors Kim Cattrall and Margot Kidder.
• In the late 1960s Trudeau practiced yoga and told the press he frequently stood on his head. He also had a brown belt in judo.
• An aide later disclosed Trudeau had planned and rehearsed a seemingly spontaneous pirouette captured by cameras during a Buckingham Palace visit in 1977.
