I miss the days of looking forward to watching programmes like Robot Wars before episodes of the Simpsons.

This same documentary was shown again once on 14th March 1997, but it's renamed as ''The Simpsons: Live and Uncut'' when the show moved to BBC Two and remained there until they stopped showing it in May 2004, despite the contract of letting the BBC to broadcast the show haven't ran out until 2006.
The free-to-air broadcasts of The Simpsons that broadcasts nowadays is Channel 4 since November 2004.
