Term for a hybrid film or TV genre, based on real events but making use of artistic licence (9)

I believe the answer is:

docudrama

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

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
