New kind of TV is making plot-based feature? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

digitalis

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

'plot-based feature?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'new kind of tv is' is the wordplay.
'new kind of tv' becomes 'digital' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'digital'+'is'='DIGITALIS'

'making' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for digitalis that I've seen before include "plant making this drug?" , "Drug derived from foxglove leaves" , "medicinal drug" , "Drug from foxgloves" , "Heart drug prepared from foxglove leaves" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
