'Dramatic programming' is television content that is scripted and (normally) fictional. This excludes, for example, sports, news, reality and game shows, stand-up comedy and variety shows. Also, by convention, the term is not generally usually used for situation comedy or soap opera. The term is used more in the Commonwealth of Nations countries than the United States.
Most dramatic programming for TV falls within other standard categories such as miniseries, made-for-TV movies or certain rather circumscribed dramatic genres.
Some examples of BBC dramatic programming would be the serials ''The Six Wives of Henry VIII'' or ''Our Friends in the North''.
