This edition plummeted badly in the ratings, falling to 95th place in the charts with just 3.95 million viewers.
The reason for this isn't entirely clear, as the ITV shows being broadcast directly opposite - Too Pooped to Pip (1984) and The Betrayal (1986) - weren't especially popular, with Benson not even making the Top 100.
