As reported in November, British Prime Minister Tony Blair is set to appear in an episode of The Simpsons. Details have now been revealed, so naturally, spoilers follow. “The plot will take Bart and his family on a trip to London. When they fly into the capital, they will be greeted by Princess Tone. He will then personally drive them to their new time-share apartment in Bristol, where they will stay before returning to London two days later, hung-over but happy. Then Tony will fly his special envoys to the Middle East, where they will avert war by forming a human shield around Saddam Hussein.”
The episode is set to air later this season. “This is a major coup for the Simpsons and will guarantee blockbuster ratings on both sides of the Atlantic,” a source told the Daily Star newspaper, adding that Mr Blair would tape his lines later this month. His appearance would make him the first UK prime minister to star in a TV show whilst in office.
