In White House Plumbers, the two men who oversaw the raid on the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate in 1972 are lifted out of the margins of history and thrust into the centre of a new retelling of a seminal moment in 20th-century politics. In their capacity as “White House Plumbers” — so called because they fix leaks and handle the president’s, um, mess — they excitedly conduct off-the-record acts of espionage and sabotage, often donning ludicrous disguises. When Liddy, trying to spin humiliation into a warped victory, says, “If all I’ve done is to undermine the average American’s faith in government, that will pay dividends for the Republican party far into the future,” we know he’s talking about a very recent past. ★★★☆☆ Sky Atlantic, May 30, 9pm.
