The Simpsons to broadcast live episode: How to watch The Simpsons live episode and submit questions for Homer Simpson

The Simpsons has had a place in our hearts since its first broadcast in December 1989. Now in its 27th season, and at a time when an increasing number of people are getting their telly fix from on-demand services rather than broadcast TV, it's time to shake things up.

On Sunday 15 May The Simpsons will broadcast a three-minute live segment at the end of the usual show featuring a live interview with Homer Simpson, where he takes questions from fans, submitted via Twitter prior to the show.
The live segment of the animated show will be made possible using motion-capture technology, and acted out by the man behind the Homer Simpson voice, Dan Castellaneta.
The live portion will be included as part of the east and west coast US broadcasts and will look just like the rest of the show, but refer to current events. Producer Al Jean describes Castellaneta as a "great improviser", and the live section will be feature The Simpsons' standard comedy values.
In the US new Simpsons episodes are shown on Sunday nights on Fox (which you can access using a VPN such as Hola), and in the UK The Simpsons is currently broadcast on Sky 1 on Sundays from 6pm. The second half of Season 27 continues on Sky 1 with Episode 9, Barthood, on Sunday 28 February at 6.30pm. Also see: How to use a VPN.
