Wogan averaged 5.5 million viewers an episode this week, charting at 63rd place.
This was the first new episode since Wogan: Licence To Thrill (1989), with the previous Friday night's edition scrapped due to BBC strike action and replaced with a repeat.
Alan Dale was originally scheduled to appear on the 23rd June, along with Paul Eddington, Angela Thorne, Australian prime minister Bob Hawke and musician Richard Marx. However, the episode was scrapped due to strike action at the BBC.
