|'''''[[More Information Than You Require]]'''''}}
A fictional drama that poses as a documentary. When not an outright comedy (such as ''[[This Is Spinal Tap]]''), the [[Mockumentary]] almost always involves some kind of disaster (even the BBC's recent one about a space voyage involved a crew member dying). Fake news reports done by real life newsreaders are common, along with interviews with 'experts', real or fictional. A Mockumentary will often provoke controversy.
The BBC did a lot of Mockumentaries in the late 2000s (to the point of two or three a month). One BBC newsreader commented he did news reports for these programmes about twice a month.
