It was alleged in the Daily Mirror that Fiona Fullerton was banned from the programme due to this appearance, though she was listed for at least one more episode, Episode #8.79 (1988). Garth Gibbs wrote (13th June 1985):
"FIONA Fullerton, who is a most pleasant sight to behold, in or out of a jacuzzi, and who has been popping up everywhere to plug the new James Bond movie, is unlikely to be on Mr Terry Wogan's show ever again. For Mr Wogan, we can reveal, has his own blacklist. And any guest who says anything too outrageous gets his or her name noted. The list - a closely guarded secret up to now - was initiated by Mr Wogan himself when he quit the world of wireless to become a three-times-a-week chat show host on BBC 1.
The rules are simple, says our mole. "If a guest goes over the top, Terry continues to smile politely. But at the end of the programme he instructs an aide to jot down the guest's name and to make certain he or she is never again invited to appear. "Terry's yardstick is simple: is it, he asks himself, the sort of remark or utterance that would embarrass or offend his 74-year-old mother Rose, who lives in Dublin?" What Fiona said on his show this week would probably have the whole city choking on its Guinness. Said she, recalling an incident in Los Angeles: "He said to me, 'Gee, you've got a great pair of tits. How much did they cost?""
