TV tonight: Woody Harrelson and Lena Headey star in big-budget Watergate drama

White House Plumbers

9pm, Sky Atlantic

This satirical drama series about the Watergate scandal – based on the 2007 book Integrity by Egil and Matthew Krogh – boasts a top cast, including Woody Harrelson, Lena Headey and Justin Theroux. Shedding light on the lesser-known people behind the events, it starts in 1971 with the White House hiring former CIA and FBI agents E Howard Hunt (Harrelson) and G Gordon Liddy (Theroux) – who go on to accidentally topple the presidency they were trying to protect.

Waterloo Road

8pm, BBC One

Another week of low-stakes school-based shenanigans, this time focusing on a drama department stage spectacular. Will Donte and Amy move past their awkward romantic tension?

The Greatest Auction

Other participants include the transgender studies lecturer Gina Gwenffrewi, the trans dialogue campaigner Katy Jon Went and the professor of equalities law Stephen Whittle. HR

Perry Mason

10.05pm, Sky Atlantic

Despite his cool man-bag, Matthew Rhys’s put-upon 1930s lawyer is really starting to feel the heat in the Gallardo trial. A hostile media campaign means his “Maggot Mason” nickname is catching on, while the prosecution have apparently damning fingerprint evidence. Can he cut a deal with DA Burger? Graeme Virtue
