RAF night fighter successes, 1940

Does anyone know what was the RAF's most successful night between the opening of the London Blitz (7 September) and the Coventry Blitz (14 November)?

I'm assuming that there would be a lot of nights with one or zero victories.

Thank you Martin,

I was trying to get some perspective on the zero successes on the night of the Coventry Blitz. It looks as if this was unexceptional, except perhaps in the number of sorties put up.
