By this stage tabloids were beginning to regularly print negative stories about Terry and the show, almost as a matter of course. The same day this episode aired, the Daily Mirror (11th December 1985) ran a story alleging that he had stolen the idea of a cook book from children:
"SCHOOLGIRL cooks were simmering yesterday over plans for Terry Wogan and Delia Smith to compile a charity cook-book. The girls say it was their idea in the first place, and claim the TV pair poached it after promising to help. The chat-show host was among hundreds of stars asked to contribute a favourite recipe to the girls' book to raise funds for starving Ethiopians."

The Tears For Fears album from which "The Working Hour" came, "Songs from the Big Chair", was the only one of their first three albums not to hit the top spot, peaking at No.2 in the UK Albums Chart.
However, it did have the distinction of being their album that stayed longest in the charts, with a total of 81 weeks. The album would re-enter the UK Albums Chart for a further two weeks in 2014, reaching No.87.
