Is this the golden age of satire?
The satire Veep, created by Armando Iannucci, has won two Emmys including best comedy.
The comedy series Saturday Night Live, which has revitalised with its attacks on US President Donald Trump, was also a winner.
Actor and impressionist Jan Ravens appears on Radio 4's Dead Ringers programme. Her tour Difficult Woman, about female political leaders, starts on Monday 18 September.
She told the World at One that satire "makes people look at things in a slightly different way".
