Bart Simpson tops UK readers poll

In a recent poll to mark the twentieth anniversary of The Simpsons, Bart Simpson has been named the nation’s favourite Simpsons character by the official Simpsons Comics, published in the UK by Titan Magazines and the company's top-selling title.

Simpson’s patriarch Homer came in second place and Lisa was third.

“Picking up nearly half of all the votes cast, Bart was a clear winner," noted Simpsons Comics Brand Manager, Jo Browne, "demonstrating the on-going popularity of Springfield’s anarchic first son with UK Simpsons fans."

1 - Bart Simpson

2 - Homer Simpson

3 - Lisa

4 - Maggie

5 - Krusty the Clown

6 - Marge

7 - Mr Burns
