British comedian Eddie Izzard has been signed up to the voice the Queen in a forthcoming episode of The Simpsons. The comedian will appear in an episode in which Homer Simpson’s gym bag sparks a terrorist alert and footage of him running around half-naked is watched by the Queen and Prince Charles. The comedian told The Sun he “jumped at the chance” to voice the Monarch.

 

In the UK the episode is expected to air in May. Recently The Simpsons congratulated fellow animated series South Park on reaching 200 episodes with an advert. The advert remarked “we’ve done it twice already”.
