Film medic with wee tot in upper-class area (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

docudrama

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

'film' is the definition.
(docudrama is a kind of movie)

'medic with wee tot in upper-class area' is the wordplay.
'medic' becomes 'doc' (doctor).
'with' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'wee tot in' becomes 'dram' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'upper-class' becomes 'u' (similar in meaning).
'area' becomes 'a' (maths abbreviation).
'u'+'a'='ua'
'dram' going within 'ua' is 'udrama'.
'doc'+'udrama'='DOCUDRAMA'

Can you help me to learn more?

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

I've seen this clue in The Times.
