Personally, I agree with Wiseman to a great extent in regarding the documentary as a fictional form. He is saying that documentaries, although purporting to be truthful, are in essence fictional in a similar way to plays and novels in that the producers have power over the bias and viewpoint of the documentary.

The producers have the ultimate power as to the conclusions of the programme.
