The ratings for Wogan plummeted this week, failing to make the UK Top 100 against strong competition from ITV.
Wednesday night's episode was pitched directly against Lionel Bart (1991), which had 11.6 million viewers, and a new series debut of Episode dated 5 April 1991 (1991), which was watched by 10.5 million.

This was the first episode of Wogan since Episode #11.37 (1991), with the previous Friday night slot filled with a screening of D.A.R.Y.L. (1985), while Terry presented the later "Song For Europe" viewers vote programme to decide which song should go forward to the years' Eurovision Song Contest.
The Monday night slot was given over to a screening of *batteries not included (1987). Embarrassingly for Wogan, both films were much more popular in the timeslot, with DARYL watched by 9.3 million (23rd place) and Batteries Not Included attracting 11.7 million viewers (15th place).

Some episodes of the series didn't include the guests in the end credits - this is one such edition.
