<p>The Simpsons producer Al Jean has revealed UK artist Banksy&#8217;s original idea for the show&#8217;s opening credits could have landed the team behind bars.</p>
<p>The graffiti impresario&#8217;s controversial guest slot, which featured sweatshop workers making Simpsons merchandise and a unicorn poking holes in DVDs, was in fact a watered-down version of his initial plan.</p>
<p>Al said: &#8220;He sent this thing over that was hilarious but probably would have got us thrown in jail if we&#8217;d done it exactly the way he&#8217;d done it. I showed it to [creator] Matt Groening and he said &#8216;Well, we should do it as close as we can&#8217; so we changed it a little bit but the spirit of it was definitely there.&#8221;</p>
<p>The producer said he was amazed by the furore the credits caused.</p>
<p>&#8220;I was a little worried that I might get fired!&#8221; he laughed. &#8220;But after a week they called and said &#8216;This is great&#8217; so it&#8217;s all cool.&#8221;</p>
<p>Meanwhile Nancy Cartwright, who voices Bart, admitted she was surprised when she saw the new opening.</p>
<p>&#8220;It actually blew over pretty fast, it got the attention that the network wanted it to get, it put it out there and I think the ratings sky rocketed so I think it served its purpose,&#8221; she added.</p>
