"It Didn't Matter" was the last Top 10 hit for the Style Council on the UK Singles Chart, reaching No.9.
Ulick O'Connor's appearance on this edition was met with a slightly negative review in the following day's Dundee Courier (10th January 1987):
"Fellow Irishman Ulick O'Connor made a talkative visitor on Wogan (B.B.C.1). Indeed, the words poured out - some of them perhaps more suitable for a late-night chat show."
Ulick O'Connor was supported in his home country by the Irish Independent (13th January 1987) after complaints were made to the BBC about his use of the word "feck".
The newspaper wrote: "Now, here in Ireland we all know that the word is used as an euphemism for another four letter word, but Ulick, who was savaged by members of the audience and viewers of the BBC's new 'Open Air' show yesterday morning quite rightly argues that "feck" is a perfectly respectable Dublin word meaning to steal. [...] Referring back to last Friday, Ulick said that neither Terry Wogan himself, the programme's new producer, John Fisher, nor the audience were in the least bit offended by his language. In fact, within minutes of his coming off the programme John Fisher had told him that his contribution was "one of the best we've had for years"."
