This edition had a large ratings spike, causing the show to rise 47 places from the previous week and gain almost 4 million extra viewers. It charted at 49th place with an audience of 8.4 million.
The reason for the sudden rise would appear to be that it was scheduled directly opposite a special edition of World In Action, A Force to Be Reckoned With (1990), which attracted just 7 million viewers (65th place on the chart) instead of its usual competition from ITV, the highly popular Strike It Lucky (1986).
