Is a drama shot on location or in a studio?
TV dramas may be shot anywhere that the budget and the nature of the subject permits. Normally, our dramas have at least some location work, and don't have the enclosed sets and the limitations that are common to sitcoms. But there are some shows that do a great deal of interior material, such as Big Love, which has so much happening inside the household because it's a family drama. The household and Bill's workplace are standing sets. With a show like Battlestar Galactica, we're inside a space ship, and so except for the CGI stuff outside, of course, you're interior all the time on standing sets.
