Dad mucks about with our Mac and makes a TV show (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

docudrama

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'show' is the definition.
(I know that docudrama is a type of film)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for docudrama that I've seen before include "TV play based on real events" , "sort of play" , "realistic fiction" , "Dramatised TV programme based on real events" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
