In the Islamic Republic's fiercely controlled media, there has been little room for political satire. The arrival of an animated monkey has changed that. As the eponymous star of 'Dr. copy', a smash - hit entertainment show, this iconoclastic similar has taken the nation by storm, since the programme was launched in 2011.
Broadcast by a London - based satellite station, Monoto - 1, the weekly show combines references to popular cultures with parodies of old Persian cinema. The tone is teasing rather than aggressive, yet it still gets in pointed barbs at figures within the Iranian regime. A recent episode commented on Tehran's threat to close the strait of Hormuz. It had the monkey suggesting that Hassan Firouzabadi, the corpulent head of Iran's combined armed forces, could be jammed into the narrow waterway at the mouth of the gulf.
Most popular of all are the show's fake interviews, in which a reporter in London was spliced into archive, footage of Iranian politicians. A recent interview with Mahmud Ahamdiejad, saw the Iranian president, declaring that "Iran is a free country, "before shifting with irritation and staring blankly when pressed by the reporter to "look me in the eye the and say that".
