'The Simpsons' head to Sky2

Sky2 is to screen a series of Simpsons episodes next month, it has announced.

The series will make a special channel premiere in a new late-night slot to celebrate National Doughnut Week, marking the first time Sky has aired episodes of the animated comedy outside of Sky1.

The Simpsons's two-week run will kick off with fan favourite 'Treehouse Of Horror VI', and will include 'King Size Homer' and 'Sideshow Bob’s Last Gleaming'.

The special run of episodes begins on Monday, May 11 at 10pm on Sky2.
