Famil-e Door

Famil-e Door (in Persian: فامیل دور, lit. Distant relative) is an Iranian fictional puppet character who was first introduced in Kolah Ghermezi TV series in 2011. Famil-e Door is a door-keeper who is from Door (in Persian: دور, lit. Far; a fictional village in Iran) and has a wife. In 2014, he also becomes a father. Though Famil-e Door is older than the rest of the characters, he participates in all their plans and games, and sometimes is even naughtier than the kids. He is a very sweet and witty puppet. One of his major characteristics is being very much interested in doors as he is a doorkeeper. He frequently says "door" as he speaks and always cares if they are properly closed. He also immediately responds to any door knock or similar sounds. His son who debuted in Kolah Ghermezi 93 (2014), looks much like him. He uses the same phrases and body language as his father. He is one of the most favourite amongst the other puppets in this show, and frequently in any survey, rated as the top favourite. He has a sister in law named Shooreh.
