Debbie Does Dallas, the 1970s adult movie about a cheerleading hooker, is one of the five top-grossing porn films yet made. This documentary tracks down — or, in some cases, fails to track down — those who were involved directly with the film, including the director, the actors and even the FBI agent who spent two years working under cover to indict its Mafia producer. The star, Bambi Woods (above), has disappeared. Others are dead of unnatural causes. Everyone else involved looks back with varying degrees of pain and regret. By the end, Debbie Does Dallas feels more like an act of collective self-harm than a humorous period romp. DC

CLASSROOM CHAOS / HEAD ON THE BLOCK
Five, 8pm/BBC One, 10.50pm

So much for “Education! Education! Education!” Secret cameras film a supply teacher as she is subjected to a relentless battering of low-level disruption by children who ignore her instructions during lessons, talk out of turn, walk around the classroom, use mobile phones, listen to music and are verbally abusive. But she also teaches at a once-failing school in East London that has been turned around by a zero-tolerance approach. Later, in Head on the Block, the cameras follow one of Britain’s youngest headteachers at a tough inner-city school. Both programmes illuminatean emotive political issue.

D-DAY TO BERLIN
BBC One, 9pm

After D-Day, the Allies were fighting the war on two fronts. One war was against the Germans; the other between British and US staff officers. “Eisenhower,” wrote Montgomery, “has never commanded anything before in his whole career — and he doesn’t know how to do it.” He went on to complain to the War Office: “The American plan for winning the war is quite dreadful.” Tonight’s episode of this straightforward series covers Monty’s masterstroke at Arnhem that ended in disaster, and the final desperate bid by the Germans to break through in the Ardennes.

FORGIVING DR MENGELE
BBC One, 11.50pm

Eva Moses Kor was one of the few children who survived Auschwitz. As an identical twin, she was used as a human guinea-pig for ten months by the notorious Josef Mengele (below). After the war, she moved to the US and lived in a small town in Indiana, where she encountered more anti-Semitism. Swastikas were daubed on her door and the Holocaust museum she set up was firebombed. Despite this, she still believes that forgiveness is an essential skill in life and that those who cannot forgive are condemned to remain bitter and unhappy. DC

LIVE UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FOOTBALL: CHELSEA v LIVERPOOL
Sky Sports 1, 7pm

It’s a sign of the times that Liverpool, European Cup winners on four occasions, will start as the underdogs against Chelsea, who are currently closing in on just their second domestic title. But the combination of Russian money, Portuguese nous and a fair bit of English talent (including John Terry and Frank Lampard, above) makes Chelsea favourites. Despite their best efforts last summer, though, the talismanic Steven Gerrard remains on Merseyside, and he will be desperate to make amends for the own-goal that cost his side victory over the Blues in the Carling Cup final.
