Television and humour have an important place on Algerian people's every day life. Three comedians parody excerpts from television programmes to reveal Algerians' behaviour in the light of the various hardships that they face-political strife, exile, smuggling, foreign progammes and censure. As a tale, the author recounts the little history of this Algerian television controlled by the power and shows through humor and derision, that the Algerian people cast a lucid, critical and caustic eye on the trouble of their society.
