across the rest of the itv network the film duly went out as planned on sunday 3 and monday 4 june, and drew an audience of 9 million viewers − as kosminsky later noted, rather more than the 1.2 million who had watched "afghantsi", for which he felt he had put his life in danger. in northern ireland, utv found that it was unable to prevent the reception of centrally-originated teletext subtitles for the programme, so blacked out the entire oracle teletext information service for the duration of the broadcast.
