This was the highest-charting - albeit not the highest rated - episode of the fourth series. 8.8 million viewers were watching, which saw it chart at 41st place that week.
This edition was postponed in the ITV Ulster region due to screening of the film December Bride (1990) in its usual timeslot. Ulster viewers got to see it the following day at 23:59, with the ratings for both days being combined by BARB.
