Homer enjoys a shower with Santa’s Little Helper. The Simpsons’ love affair with Britain is bordering on obsession, and we so love them for it we can just about forgive the “Big Book Of British Smiles” (season four). Since then, a future Lisa married a stuck-up British toff (season six’s ‘Lisa’s Wedding’), a future Maggie was shown pregnant at a London hotel named “The Benny Hilton” (season 23’s ‘Holidays Of Future Passed’), a team of Springfield’s finest travelled to Scotland to capture the Loch Ness monster (season 10’s ‘Monty Can’t Buy Me Love’ and the Simpsons took a full British holiday (season 15’s ‘The Regina Monologues’). It was way back in 1991, in season two episode ‘A Brush With Greatness’, that the makers of The Simpsons first depicted Great Britain – in this case, it was a cutaway to Ringo Starr’s country pile, where he was dutifully sorting through fanmail dating back to his days in The Beatles.
