29th March-14th April ---------------------
Don't forget, DABF04 Half-Decent Proposal premieres on Sunday 7th April, and DABF06 The Bart Wants What It Wants (provisionally) premieres 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 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. However, they are repeating almost the exact same sequence of episodes from 11th April onwards that was at the end of February (yawn).......
Season 6 comes to a close on BBC soon, and then Season 7 starts. They overlap a little, see below.
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 -------
BBC are currently showing Seasons 6 and 7. All highly recommended, but especially:
- 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...
- Thursday 11 April, 6:00 - 3F06 Mother Simpson. Very good use of a guest star (Glenn Close). It's nice to know what happened to Mona Simpson after all these years...
SKY|one -------
Recommendations for SKY|one:
- 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.
- Wednesday 10 April 7:30 - 1F07 The Last Temptation of Homer. Hilarious episode, one of the best of Season 5 IMO. A must watch.

Upcoming New Episodes on Sky - SPOILER ALERT! =============================================
- 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.
