'Popular Factual Programming' has rapidly come to occupy a place at the forefront of contemporary television culture on an international scale.

Tracing the history of reality TV from Candid Camera to The Osbournes, Understanding Reality Television examines a range of programmes which claim to depict 'real life', from reality formatted game shows to 'real crime' programming and make-over TV.
