The same year a West German adaptation Oh, This Father starring Willy Millowitsch began, lasting until 1981.

A few years after Karen and Anna have married and left home, Patrick decides to go to Australia to do some research for a book he is writing and takes Nanny along (both Cargill and Dyson reprised the roles).

Liz and Sue had been looking forward to being free of adult supervision while their father was away, so they're initially unimpressed with the idea.

Wallas Eaton appears in two episodes of the second series as Patrick's Australian publisher, Sam Winterton.

Two 7-episode series were made by Lyle McCabe Productions in association with the Seven Network; like the original, they were produced and directed by William G. Stewart.
