Special guests on the Simpsons

[Damon Hill]

I was watching the Simpsons last night, and it had Sting in it, and I was wondering, is that really his voice? I mean, they were really taking the piss out him, surely he wouldn't agree to that?? Are any of the guest voices real?

[towman]

Even our glorious leader (not you Petrol Ted) queued up to be on it.

Even Stephen Hawking.

Indeed, I think they mentioned on the radio that he was actually going to write the episode that he will star in

Did you see him on the Comedy awards last night? Giving the award to Matt Groening

Apparantly Stephen is moving to Springfield in an upcoming episode.

That's what I heard this morning too.

I hate Simpsons episodes with celebrities in. They always seem so cheesy.

I did see that. Wasn't it terrible when he had computer problems just as he was about to do his speech?! Poor guy.

When/what channel is the Simpsons on? I only ever saw it many years ago when I was a student, and since then everyone still talks about it but I never seem to catch it. I presume it's only on Sky/Satellite/etc? Do they only show it in the daytime (when most of us work)?

I think Channel 4 now show later series episodes on Friday evenings now.

One or two famous sports stars have appeared - obviously not Damon Hill, just famous ones!

Yet the one with all the baseball stars was excellent.

You may be surprised how many of them arent, watch the credits, sometimes they are the real deal, but often its just an actor.

Sky One seems to have pretty much tied up The Simpsons. C4 and BBC2 occasionally get to show the odd episode, but Sky is the place to watch it most of the times - there's a Simpsons double or triple bill on every night in the early evening / teatime slot.
