This edition topped the charts, with 19.05 million viewers.
The six most regular panellists were Lorraine Chase (29 episodes), Beryl Reid (26 episodes), Patrick Moore (19 episodes), Wendy Richard (18 episodes), Sandra Dickinson (16 episodes) and Roy Hudd (16 episodes). Although all six never appeared in an episode together, this is just one of two occasions where four of them appeared on the same show. Wendy Richard, who didn't appear until the fourth series, only ever got to feature in two episodes with any other member of the six: Christmas Special (1987) with Chase and Hudd, and Episode #5.2 (1982) with Moore.
