376‑17  Television series

 (1) A television series is a *film made up of 2 or more episodes that:
 (a) are produced wholly or principally for exhibition to the public on television under a single title; and
 (b) contain a common theme or themes; and
 (c) contain dramatic elements that form a narrative structure; and
 (d) meet the requirement in subsection (2).

Note: A documentary can be a television series.

 (2) The requirement is that all of the episodes must be produced wholly or principally for exhibition together, for a national market or national markets.

 (3) To avoid doubt, and without limiting paragraph (1)(c), a *film satisfies the requirement in that paragraph if:
 (a) the sole or dominant purpose of the film is to depict actual events, people or situations; and
 (b) the film depicts those events, people or situations in a dramatic or entertaining way, with a heavy emphasis on dramatic impact or entertainment value.

 (4) A pilot episode to a television series is taken to be a part of the television series.
