What’s your favourite Simpsons joke? This is mine: Lisa and Bart are having a row and Homer tries to stop them. ‘Oh, dad,’ one of them says, ‘we were arguing about which one of us loves you more.’

‘Gee, that’s sweet,’ says Homer, or words to that effect.
‘She says I do, and I say she does…’
Mind you, working on the show does sound fun. When they have guest stars they try to get them to come to Los Angeles in person, though some, such as Tony Blair, are allowed to do it long-distance. (The scripts are read out first, as if for radio, then the cartoons fitted around the speech.)
