Of all the many celebs who have branched out into TV travelogue shows in recent years, Sue Perkins is one of the very best, reacting to everything she sees and experiences with total honesty and no small amount of wit. This new two-parter, airing on consecutive nights, begins in the Mexican city of Tijuana, where Sue has a night out with local student and samples a lot of tequila. But the next day, she sees another side to the party town, where tens of thousands of migrants have ended up in a bid to get across the border to America.
