22nd March-7th April --------------------
Don't forget about the new episode this Sunday (24th), DABF03 Sweets and Sour Marge, at 6:30pm on SKY|one. DABF04 Half-Decent Proposal premi�res on Sunday 7th April, and DABF06 The Bart Wants What It Wants (provisionally) premi�res on Sunday 21st April, both in the usual 6:30pm slot on Sky. For more information - and spoilers! - see here below.
Sky are showing 10:30am episodes all of Holy Week (w/comm 25th March) and Easter Week (w/comm 1st April). Sorry if I offend any non-Christians... Also, DABF02 She of Little Faith gets its second airing at 7:30pm on Sunday 7th April.
Season 6 comes to a close on BBC soon, and then Season 7 starts. They overlap a little, see below. Tonight (Friday) has been confirmed as 2F31 A Star is Burns.
Not too much schedule disruption for Easter, and most of it is good. The abnormalities are confined to Easter Monday (1st April). BBC are showing a double-bill at 6:15, the first being 2F22 Lemon of Troy, but the second (at 6:35) is 3F02 Bart Sells His Soul. Sky, meanwhile, are airing a four-hour marathon, from 1pm to 5pm, of alternating Simpsons and Futurama episodes.

Recommended Viewing ===================
All times PM unless otherwise stated.
BBC Two -------
On BBC, from now until Easter, is a run of Season 6 episodes, which haven't aired since last March. All highly recommended, but especially:
- Thursday 28 March, 6:00 - 2F32 Round Springfield. Excellent episode, even for one they put together at the last minute! Pity they killed off Bleeding Gums Murphy...
- Tuesday 2 April, 6:00 - 2F16 Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part One) and Wednesday 3 April, 6:00 - 2F20 Who Shot Mr. Burns? (Part Two). The only two-part episode in the history of the Simpsons - it is one of the best ever episodes. Although the ending is a little strange...
SKY|one -------
Recommendations for SKY|one:
- Saturday 23 March, 7:30 - 8F23 Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes. It didn't air for years on BBC or Sky, but when it finally aired last Christmas day, my stomach was sore laughing. Hilarious episode. Maybe they'll consider bringing Herb back...
- Friday 29 March [Good Friday], 10:30am - CABF01 Lisa the Treehugger. Hasn't been on in a while, and it was one of the better ones of Season 12. At least IMO, anyway...
- Wednesday 3 April, 7:30 - AABF11 I'm With Cupid. Hasn't been on in a good while - I'm glad I have it on video. Very good episode, one of the best of Season 10.
- Sunday 7 April, 7:30 - DABF02 She of Little Faith. Second airing of this hilarious Season 13 episode. One of the very best since Season 9.

- March 24 - 6:30 - SKY|one - Sweets and Sour Marge (DABF03) Springfield is named the "World's fattest town", thanks to a diabolical scheme by the Motherloving Sugar Corporation, which spikes Springfield's entire food supply with sugar. Ben Stiller guest stars as Garth Motherloving.
- April 07 - 6:30 - SKY|one - Half-Decent Proposal (DABF04) Marge, with a little help from Patty, Selma, and Jack (Daniels), e-mails Artie Ziff, who offers $1,000,000 for a weekend ("no funny business") alone with her - money they could use for an operation to make Homer stop snoring. Guest starring Jon Lovitz.
- April 21 - 6:30 - SKY|one - The Bart Wants What It Wants (DABF06) (Provisional) Bart develops a crush on Ranier Wolfcastle's daughter Greta (voiced by Reese Witherspoon). After hastily deciding he's not ready for love, he dumps her, only to change his mind later. But by then Greta only has eyes for one - Milhouse - and a trip to the set of Ranier's latest movie in Canada isn't enough to win her back. Wolfgang Puck also guest stars.
