A sequel, Home James (1987-90) followed London's career as chauffeur to the millionaire owner of an electronics factory (played by George Sewell). 

Also starred Chris Ellison who later went on to play Frank Burnside in UK Cop drama The Bill, and later his own series Burnside.

Also featured Marina Sirtis who went on to play Counsellor Deanna Troi in Star Trek: The Next Generation.
