The ratings for this edition are unavailable.
This final edition was slated by journalist Chris Rundle in Bristol's "Western Daily Press".
Rundle wrote (20th November 1993): "FAREWELL, then, to DEMOB (HTV) which would have been quite brilliant had it been executed by Dennis Potter but, since it wasn't, wasn't.
Griff Rhys Jones alone was never enough to lift a passable idea and a mediocre script into the realms of archive material, and the longer it went on the more painful it got."

Les Dawson hadn't finished filming on the series before his death, and his role in this edition would appear to suggest rewrites to get round this.
His character as variety entertainer "Morton Stanley" gets just a minute of screentime, and although Ian Deasley later briefly mentions to his agent that Morton has offered him a part in his new revue, it goes unmentioned for the rest of the episode.
