• This book explores the ways in which television has engaged directly and indirectly with the new realities of the post-9/11 world. It offers detailed analysis of a number of key programmes and series that engage with, or are haunted by, the aftermath of the events of 11 September 2001 in the USA, and what is unavoidably through problematically and contentiously referred to as the resulting 'war on terror'. The substantive part of this book is a series of independent chapters, each written on a different topic and considering different programmes, opening with an extended reflection on contemporary docudrama. It includes series and single dramas representing the invasion of Iraq (The Mark of Cain, Occupation and Generation Kill), comedic representations (Gary, Tank Commander), documentary (the BBC Panorama's coverage of 9/11), 'what if' docudramas (Dirty War), 9/11 in popular series (CSI:NY) and representations of Tony Blair in drama and docudrama; it concludes with an interview with filmmaker and docudramatist Peter Kosminsky.
