Viewers have congratulated Channel 4 tonight (Wednesday) after the broadcaster screened a famous The Simpsons strike episode. People took it as a sign of support on a massive day of industrial action in UK for workers including teachers and rail staff.
The episode, Last Exit to Spingfield, centred around workers’ rights. But the broadcaster said it was a coincidence that it was shown on the largest day of protest for more than 10 years.
The channel’s 6pm showing of the US cartoon was a season four episode widely regarded as one of the show’s best. The story sees Homer Simpson go up against Mr Burns to fight for the employees’ dental plan, culminating in a strike at the power plant.
