The document vis-à-vis a truth or a falsehood often relates to the law in terms of something presented as evidence of truth and the real. This evidence can of course occur in a written form such as an affidavit, passport, or driving licence. The television and the popular press has during the twentieth and, indeed, twenty-first century created an additional function for the document. This function might be termed "entertainment".
