TV review: from The 2 Johnnies to Me and My Penis, Pat Fitzpatrick rates this week's TV programmes

RTÉ is still sending people to America. This is a traditional format, stretching back to Mike Murphy, where a star would tour around the States to show us the sunshine and great teeth, in the hope that 100,000 of us would emigrate there and knock some of the edges off the unemployment numbers. 

The format used to involve meeting crazy people who married their horses etc, but that’s redundant now that ‘Americans are mad’ is pretty much the lead item on the news every night.
