Blair to appear in 'The Simpsons'

Tony Blair is to make a guest appearance on The Simpsons, according to the Daily Star today.

In an episode to be shown later in the current (fourteenth) series, Bart wins a trip to London for him and his family, who are greeted by the PM upon arrival.

"This is a major coup for the Simpsons and will guarantee blockbuster ratings on both sides of the Atlantic," a source told the 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.

A Downing Street spokesman denied the reports, however. "We have not received an invitation for Mr Blair to appear in The Simpsons," he said. "Until we do it's difficult to comment on this."
