Marge embarks upon a moral crusade to clean up her children's favourite cartoon show.

(Repeated next Sunday)
(Another episode is on Friday at 6pm)

Today's Choices: The Simpsons 6.00pm BBC2
Here is one of the great episodes of The Simpsons. Homage is paid to two classic movies (a theme frequently exploited in later series) as little Maggie, inspired by the gore of the Itchy and Scratchy TV cartoons so beloved of Bart and Lisa, attacks her dad in a scene straight out of Hitchcock's Psycho.
Marge Simpson's subsequent campaign against cartoon violence has such success that the children of Springfield are obliged to discover the joy of outdoor games, culminating in a magical pastoral sequence - a perfect pastiche of Disney's Fantasia (complete with Beethoven on the soundtrack). A real masterpiece.

Castle gets taken hostage on an undercover operation.
