Drama-documentary and British Television: A Quest for Legitimacy

Résumé

One of the main assets of docudrama is its fictional dimension, even though it retains much of the aesthetics of the documentary. Its hybrid nature - which detractors would go as far as calling mongrel - actually makes it extremely original and valuable. Thanks to docudramas, British TV viewers have been kept informed on the state of the Nation: the dire conditions of the poor was aptly dramatised by Ken Loach's Cathy Come Home, while Peter Kosminsky's Warriors partly reassessed the role of Great-Britain on the international scene. Docudramas have explored new territories from both topical and aesthetic points of view and opened up new perspectives.
