BBC2 Simpsons Night continuity (23rd June 2000)

For those that didn't have Sky, BBC2 on Monday and Friday evenings was your only chance at catching TV broadcasts of The Simpsons in the late 90's and early 00's. It's popularity exploded in the UK by the time the millennium came around, so one Friday evening was set aside to transmit solely Simpsons programming - popular episodes from the early days, an episode new to terrestrial TV (Much Apu About Nothing, S7), character compilations, a phone-in vote, specialised idents and this was all linked together by the voice of Zoe Ball. A bonus here is a live link to Jamie Theakston at Glastonbury, the first day of that year's festival. REM were on the stage.

BBC in the 90s was banging. Star trek, Simpsons, Neighbours, Fresh Prince, quality licensed shows. Now they license jack schmit.
