This edition was shown opposite a repeat of
Rogues' Gallery (1990), which attracted 12.3 million viewers. Consequently, the ratings for Harry Enfield were affected, dropping to 5.3 million and 69th place on the national chart.
The show still managed to maintain second place on the BBC2-only chart, just behind the 5.4 million who watched a broadcast of
M.I.A. - April 1, 1969 (1990).
