In A New Genre for Television?, filmmaker Justin Hardy argues the dramatised history documentaries broadcast by British public service channels in the 2000s constituted a distinct television genre. Offering a vital distinction between docudramas and drama documentaries, Hardy contributes to the field of television history through exclusive interviews with key figures from BBC and Channel 4 – many of whom have never been publicly interviewed before – and envisions a future model for the portrayal of national histories on screen.
Justin Hardy is a lecturer in screenwriting at BA Media, UCL
