Reception
"DNA" was first broadcast on the British television channel BBC2 on 21 February 1991 in the 9:00pm evening time slot, although it was intended to be broadcast fifth in the series run - as seen in the repeat showings in 1992 and 1994. The change in the scheduling was affected by the Gulf War hostilities at the time, which meant that "Dimension Jump", originally the series' opener, and "Meltdown" were held back.
The episode was considered to be one of the better episodes from the fourth series, however it did receive some criticism for moving the humour away from the characters and into situation-based comedy.
