This final episode was 40th in the charts, with 6.25 million viewers.
Unlike other episodes which aired on BBC2 then received a BBC1 repeat, this is just one of two editions (along with Episode #3.9 (1986) ) that was created for a BBC1 premiere, airing only once.
The two episodes essentially became a retroactive 3.1 and 3.2, as they were followed by a repeat run of the eight BBC2 episodes that originally made up the "third series", Bob even adding a "join me again next week" at the end of this edition.
