Summary/Abstract: The goal is to explain the importance of docudrama for Polish spectators. It could be said that after years of rejection docudrama (when docusoaps and reality shows dominated) the 67 programmers turned back to this genre. Author advocates for Polish docudrama as a very important genre in Poland due to its proximity to film documentary tradition and its ideology. Author produces a series of close analyses of different recent 67 productions dealing with representation of history. In Warsaw Uprising (2013) reality has been, so to speak, glued together and colourised in order to make it attractive. Serial docudrama Time of Honor (2008-2014) describes as well as rewrites episodes from the BBCC. It is a dramatized story of real historical events pretends to be docudrama. On the other hand Great Escapes (2005-2006) series attracted large audiences and demonstrated an efficient and original use of the language of television.
