About This Program ✦
is a television programme presented as a single episode. It follows the mischief and everyday schemes of the Simpson family, focusing on the younger siblings’ antics and the adults’ attempts to keep things under control. In this instalment, Bart and Lisa devise a light‑hearted prank that quickly spirals out of control. Their joke convinces them that they have unintentionally caused the death of Martin, leaving the two children panicked and certain they are responsible for a fatal accident. At the same time, Marge decides to monitor Homer’s eating habits more closely. She enlists a small television crew to film his daily routine, hoping the presence of cameras will reveal whether he can stick to his diet without slipping back into his usual indulgences. The episode juxtaposes the children’s frantic attempts to hide what they believe is a crime with Marge’s more methodical experiment to keep Homer honest. Both storylines hinge on the characters’ belief that they are being watched—whether by each other, by a camera crew, or by the consequences of their own actions. This dual focus creates a comedic tension that drives the narrative from start to finish.
The Simpsons broadcasts on Channel 4 +1 at 3:50am, Monday, 2 February 2026. (Subtitles, repeat)
